Chapter 235 Isn’t Xie Huaiguang still here?
Chapter 235 Isn’t Xie Huaiguang still here?
I went to the Duke's Mansion, had an unpleasant experience there, and when I returned home, I ran into that disgusting guy Xie Huaiguang at the door again!
But this person is more handsome than himself, younger than himself, and more promising. Gu Changqing knows that he is not as good as Xie Huaiguang, and he feels even more unhappy. More importantly, Su Jin is actually closer to Xie Huaiguang than to himself.
Now, Gu Changqing was even more furious as a young man pointed at him and asked him to tell him who was there that night.
Who do you think you are to point your finger at me?
Gu Changqing simply snorted coldly: "I don't remember!"
Yes, I don’t remember, I don’t know anything, let’s see what you can do.
A sigh was heard in the court, and it was none other than Cao Wei's.
Gu Changqing gave up and said nothing, but can the matter be let go just because he said nothing?
That's impossible. Isn't Xie Huaiguang still here?
Cao Wei looked at Xie Huaiguang, and as expected, he slowly spoke: "Since Lord Cao won't say anything, then I will say it. However, for the sake of fairness and justice, please ask Miss Su Liu and the gatekeeper to come together, so that we can face each other face to face!"
The face-to-face confrontation finally made Gu Changqing nervous.
He didn't know why he was nervous, but when he heard that Su Jin was coming, he became a little nervous.
Cao Wei listened to Xie Huaiguang's words and naturally quickly ordered someone to invite Su Jin.
Although this matter was a small matter, the higher-ups had already known about it and people close to Prince Rui had personally come to inquire about it, so he did not dare to be careless.
At this moment, Su Jin was in the mansion listening to Gu Sui Yu's work report.
With the beginning of spring, the farm needs to make some adjustments, such as where to plant flowers and where to plant crops. A piece of land must also be allocated to help Gu Zilu study crops.
Gu Sui Yu's business was also developing. The flowers needed for the soap had not yet been planted, but the orders from the court had already arrived, and Gu Sui Yu was still busy planning.
Su Jin felt drowsy after listening to this, mainly because Gu Sui Yu was already able to handle things on his own and didn't need her to interfere too much.
Just at this moment, the gatekeeper said that the police had come and said that there was a case and they wanted Su Jin to testify.
Gu Sui Yu also followed out and learned that it was Gu Changqing who spread the rumor that Su Jin and Xie Huaiguang had a relationship. The righteous Fourth Miss immediately gritted her teeth and took Su Jin out.
"Mother, let's go. I'll testify for you. I want to see what my father is going to do. If she insists on breaking up with me, then I don't want this father anymore!"
Anyway, Gu Sui Yu and others have already moved out. Gu Changqing didn't say anything from beginning to end. Gu Zhao only asked a few questions, but the two children were determined to leave. Although Gu Zhao objected, they only said to move out, and didn't say to take Su Jin's surname. In other words, the children admitted that they were still members of the Marquis' Mansion. What could Gu Zhao say then?
He talked too much and was afraid that the bedridden Zou would hear him, so Gu Zhao could only wave his hand tiredly. Looking at the once glorious Marquisate that had become what it was now, Gu Zhao felt extremely upset.
Alas, it would be better to just fall ill. It would be so nice to lie in bed every day like Zou and not know anything!
"Zi Lu, you come too!"
Gu Sui Yu went to the next room and called Gu Zilu to join him. The young man responded, got up and followed.
When he heard that it was Lord Xie Huaiguang who reported the case, Gu Zilu's eyes flashed.
In the past, Xie Huaiguang helped the fourth sister to clear her name through the prefect of Shunjing. It is the same now, but the Shunjing prefecture can control a commoner. Now, can it control the son of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion?
Gu Zilu couldn't figure it out, but he was sure that Xie Huaiguang would never let Gu Changqing go.
But he was not worried, because the four words "you brought this upon yourself" were tailor-made for Gu Changqing.
My mother once said that if you mess around, you will have to pay for it.
Soon, the group arrived at the prefectural government office. Su Jin bowed and Cao Wei even offered Su Jin a seat.
"this……"
Gu Changqing was anxious and wanted to ask why he didn't have a seat but Su Jin did. Cao Wei then said, "The Sixth Miss is not in good health. When she was in the Marquis' Mansion, the imperial physician told her to rest more and not get angry. She has taken up two seats for the elderly, the weak, the woman and the child. She should be given a seat."
She is weak and a woman, isn't it right for her to be given a seat?
I don’t know if she was touched by what Cao Wei said, but Su Jin coughed twice to suit the situation, constantly reminding Gu Changqing how much grievance she had suffered when she was with him.
Gu Changqing stopped talking completely. He turned his head and kept looking at Su Jin, but unfortunately, Su Jin was still the same as before, ignoring him and treating him as if he didn't exist.
Gu Changqing said angrily: "Su Jin, why don't you look at me?"
Su Jin didn't even raise his eyelids: "Ugly."
"!!!"
Gu Changqing was furious: "Then why are you looking at Xie Huaiguang?"
Su Jin looked calm, and even deliberately raised his head to glance at Xie Huiguang, and said calmly, "He's handsome."
This one sentence was enough to piss Gu Changqing off to death, but in the serious court, Xie Huaiguang couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly, and then he stopped being silent and continued to speak.
"Since most people are here, let me tell you something. The people who were there that night included Yong'an Marquis' fourth daughter Gu Suiyu, fifth brother Gu Zilu, and Ning Mansion's fourth daughter Ning Ruolan. With so many people together, were they all having an affair?"
With these words, the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion was almost completely wiped out.
Leaving aside the illegitimate children, two of the three legitimate children are here, and if Gu Zixuan had not gone on the expedition to the northwest, he would probably have been among them as well.
What’s even more terrible is that among them are not only people from the Marquis’ Mansion, but also the Fourth Young Lady of the Ning Mansion.
Ning Ruolan's family is also a family of officials. Although their relationship is not as good as that of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, it is not an ordinary small family. The onlookers outside the gate shook their heads when they heard this.
“It turns out they are all fake!”
"What is Master Gu up to? Spreading rumors about his own wife, oh no, ex-wife?"
"Oh, it's so simple. If you can't get it, just destroy it. When Miss Su Liu divorced Master Gu, Master Gu insisted on not agreeing!"
He didn't agree at that time, but had to agree later. Gu Changqing was forced from beginning to end, so even if they divorced, he still felt that Su Jin was still his wife, otherwise he would not have visited her on New Year's Eve to show her warmth. Now, he naturally still feels that Su Jin is his wife, and Xie Huaiguang visiting her on New Year's Eve is just to humiliate him and cuckold him.
That's why this matter ended up in court.
Xie Huiguang stared at Gu Changqing indifferently: "Your Excellency is a court official, but you speak without thinking. I spent New Year's Eve with the Sixth Miss, the Fourth Miss, the Fifth Young Master, and Miss Ning only because Brother Zixuan asked me to take good care of his family before he left. But when it came to Lord Gu, it became that I had an affair with the Sixth Miss..."
Xie Huaiguang's voice became colder and colder.
He had promised Gu Zilu that he would handle the matter personally, so of course he would handle it personally and would definitely not drag his feet.
