Chapter 176 You Believe Something Even Pigs Won’t Believe
Because of Chunxi's words, everyone started to pay attention to who informed Wei Lingze.
Chunxi is still in mourning, and Xiao Qinghe is famous for her dignified and well-behaved nature. Who on earth could have spread such outrageous news that made Wei Lingze so impulsive as to come and catch the adulterer in person?
Chunxi's angle was too tricky, and Wei Lingze didn't know how to respond for a moment. Shen Qingyu spoke again at this time: "Cao Chunxi, stop acting here. It was clearly you who deliberately spread the news that you and Madam Wei were going to hire prostitutes for fun to lure us here."
Chunxi rolled his eyes in a very ungraceful manner.
"Third brother, I know you're not very smart, but you can't say such stupid things just because you're prejudiced against me. I come from a lowly family and used to be a maid. Anyone who knows I married your eldest brother would praise my family's ancestral tomb for being well-buried. My ancestors for eighteen generations would be grateful to me. If it was really me who spread this news, not even a pig would believe it."
Chunxi pounded his chest twice as he spoke, his face filled with grief.
Princess Hengyang was so amused that she burst out laughing.
Shen Qingyu and Wei Lingze believed something that even pigs couldn't believe.
Madam Shen was quite clever in her way of scolding people.
There were also a few laughs from the crowd. Shen Qingyu knew that his words were somewhat untenable, so he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Don't even think about denying it. I saw the secret letter you and Madam Wei exchanged with my own eyes. This matter cannot be false!"
Shen Jinhua had never enjoyed the privilege of being in the Marquisate, so now she had the opportunity to show her face in front of the royal family. She was very happy. When she heard Shen Qingyu mention her, she immediately pushed through the crowd and stepped forward: "Your Highness and Princess, I can't read a single word, so I have no idea what the secret letter is."
When Shen Jinhua changed her words at this time, Mo Yunwan's eyelids jumped and she realized that something was wrong.
When did Cao Chunxi bribe Shen Jinhua? How come she didn't notice it at all?
Mo Yunwan panicked, and Shen Qingyu was even more angry: "Aunt, that's not what you said when you came to us."
Shen Jinhua said confidently, "Why am I saying something different? Even your father can't read, how can I? You've read all those years of sage books, but they've all gone to waste. You believe everything your wife says, and in the end you're dragging me into taking the blame for your wife. Do you still have any conscience?"
Shen Jinhua completely denied what she had just said and lectured Shen Qingyu in the tone of an elder.
"Third brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Your eldest brother has already separated from the family, and your eldest sister-in-law returned to the Marquis' Mansion out of filial piety to observe mourning for your mother. She has been living in the same courtyard with me and your grandmother these past few days, and has been eating plain porridge for three meals a day. Your mother was so moved that she appeared in her dream last night. As a son, you only know how to quarrel and fight, and you don't even think about why your mother didn't appear in your dream!"
Shen Qingyu: “…”? ? ?
Could it be that my mother's dream was because her ghost was restless and was looking for her to take her life?
Shen Qingyu was about to argue, but Chunxi spoke up just in time to stop them from digressing. "So it was Third Sister-in-law who informed Young Master Wei? I wonder when Third Sister-in-law met Young Master Wei, and how she gained his trust and convinced him to believe such outrageous news."
Chunxi is full of desire for the truth, but what he says is easy to make people associate with things.
How could Mo Yunwan, a woman in the harem, be so familiar with Wei Lingze, and so familiar with him that Wei Lingze believed her when she said Chunxi and Xiao Qinghe hired prostitutes?
Everyone's eyes fell on Mo Yunwan. Mo Yunwan felt like a thorn in her back. She didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Since Xuzhou, a mysterious person has been secretly helping her. All she needs to do is to keep making trouble against Chunxi and destroy the relationship between Chunxi and Shen Qingyuan.
She almost lost her usefulness during this family division, but fortunately, after Mrs. Mo died, Chunxi was forced to return to the Marquis' Mansion out of filial piety.
This time the news came too smoothly, and she was a little skeptical, but in order to prove her own worth, she passed the news on as soon as possible. However, she did not intend to catch the adulterer in person, but just wanted to let Shen Qingyuan know and plant the seeds of doubt.
If the mysterious man really caught Chunxi in bed, she could get rid of her in one fell swoop. However, she didn't expect Shen Qingyuan to bring them directly to Yunshan Temple, and she didn't expect Wei Lingze to come and catch them in bed, which angered Prince Ying and Princess Hengyang.
Was it the mysterious person who notified Wei Lingze, or was Wei Lingze the mysterious person who had been secretly sending people to help her?
Mo Yunwan was confused for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Chunxi wanted to continue to induce him, but Wei Lingze suddenly shouted coldly: "Enough!"
Wei Lingze didn't give Mo Yunwan a chance to speak. He looked at Prince Ying and Princess Hengyang and said, "I was injured and paralyzed for three years. Although I'm fully recovered now, I still feel very inferior. I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to stand up when I open my eyes again. I'm even more afraid that my wife will dislike me and leave me because of this. That's why I'm often suspicious and can't control my suspicions. That's why I easily believe such unfounded rumors. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and Princess."
Wei Lingze blamed everything on his own injury.
Those who knew the inside story among the onlookers sighed with heartache, but Prince Ying remained unmoved. He stared at Wei Lingze and asked, "Young Master Wei, are you saying that you can't control your emotions right now, and that's why you lost control and seriously injured my guards?"
The guards brought by Prince Ying and Princess Hengyang were all selected from the royal guards. Even though the Wei family is powerful, it is a serious crime for Wei Lingze to injure so many people at once.
This is the only way to escape guilt.
Wei Lingze gritted his teeth and said solemnly, "Yes."
Prince Ying sneered: "Young Master Wei knew that he could lose control and hurt someone at any moment, but he deliberately concealed the truth and still served before the emperor. He is so brave!"
The purpose of serving in front of the emperor is to protect the safety of His Majesty, but now Wei Lingze has become a potential danger. If His Majesty investigates further, the crime of deceiving the emperor is no small matter.
Wei Lingze immediately knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness. I usually restrain myself, but today I was so anxious that I did this..."
"Master Wei, there's no need to say anything," Prince Ying interrupted Wei Lingze and stood up. "I will return to the palace immediately to report this matter to my brother. Master Wei, please think carefully about how to explain it to my brother!"
After saying this, Prince Ying strode away. Lan Shu pulled Xiao Yechen, but seeing that he was unmoved, she had no choice but to follow Prince Ying.
After Prince Ying left, Wei Lingze stood up and asked Princess Hengyang, "I will personally come to apologize to you someday. For now, will you allow me to take my wife with me?"
"There's no need to apologize. If Young Master Wei gets upset and starts a massacre, I can't afford it," Princess Hengyang refused directly. She then looked at Xiao Qinghe and asked, "He'er, are you willing to go with him?"
Xiao Qinghe's face remained calm as she nodded and said, "Princess, I am willing."
Princess Hengyang didn't stop them. After the two left, she looked at Mo Yunwan again and asked, "So how do you keep in touch with Wei Lingze privately?"
“…”
This question really makes people think a lot.
Mo Yunwan was stunned for a moment, then she kowtowed to the ground, crying uncontrollably: "Princess, please understand, Young Master Wei and I have never had any private contact!"
