Chapter 297 Identification on the spot
The wedding at the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion was halfway through when the new marquis' wife was poisoned and had a miscarriage.
Before the murderer was found, Shen Qingchi suddenly revealed that Qingyuan Hou had been given a sterilizing drug and it was impossible for him to have children.
The newly married wife of the Marquis cheated on the Marquis of Qingyuan!
The guests who came to the banquet did not expect to see such excitement one after another. Even the people in the Shen family were stunned, as if they were struck by lightning.
Marquis Qingyuan naturally did not want to believe this fact. He immediately asked a doctor to take his pulse. Fearing that the doctor might not be able to diagnose him, he sent someone to Huichun Hall to invite the best doctor.
The two doctors' diagnoses were consistent.
The Marquis of Qingyuan was indeed drugged and could no longer conceive children.
After hearing the news, Marquis Qingyuan remained silent for a long time.
He was born in a humble family, but relied on his fearless spirit to achieve military exploits and be granted the title of nobility. At the height of his success, he used his military exploits to propose marriage to Xiao, a girl from an aristocratic family.
He coveted Xiao's beauty and nobility, as well as the Xiao family's wealth and connections.
He thought that by marrying Xiao he would be able to completely enter the world of power and fame and become a superior person.
Who knew that Xiao looked down on him and would rather drink the sterilizing soup than bear a child for him.
Later, His Majesty took away his military power, leaving him as a mere marquis sitting idle at home.
In order to get the help of the Xiao family, he forced Mr. Xiao to secretly register his son in his late age under his and the Xiao family's name.
This child has been smart and obedient since he was young and learns things quickly.
He should have been happy, but when he thought that the child's blood was not his own and all his intelligence and talent came from the Xiao family, he just couldn't like the child at all.
Later, Xiao was in a bad mood, and Mo took the opportunity to seduce him. He did not refuse, and half-heartedly let Mo climb into bed with him.
After all, he is a great hero who fought on the battlefield with real swords and guns. Xiao looks down on him, but many women like him.
After Mrs. Xiao passed away, he quickly welcomed Mrs. Mo into the family.
Mrs. Mo was not as aloof and indifferent as Mrs. Xiao. She would flatter and please him, but her flattery always had a purpose.
Mrs. Mo wanted his money, but she also wanted him to be powerful and influential so that she could have face wherever she went.
But the war was over, and His Majesty would not use him at all. He could only be an idle marquis with the little rewards and salary.
Soon, Mrs. Mo also discovered the truth. She first disliked him for his lack of ambition, and later she disliked him for his peasant background. Even if he was granted a title, he could not change his poor habits.
She took great pains to find famous teachers to educate her two sons, hoping that they would pass the imperial examinations in the future and earn her an imperial decree.
She didn't want her son to be like him.
After seeing through Mo's true face, he began to wander around with other women and was unwilling to return home. Not long after, he met Yao Niang.
Although Yao Niang was much younger than him, she knew all about his military exploits.
Yao Niang really admired him. Every time she looked at him, it was as if she was looking at a great hero.
So he redeemed Yao Niang and gave her a home.
Over the years, Yao Niang never fought or competed, never asked for a legitimate status, and in order to give birth to a child for him, she drank countless medicines and suffered countless hardships.
He thought Yao Niang must truly love him, so after knowing that Yao Niang was pregnant, he seemed to feel the joy of being a father for the first time.
When the child is born, he will do his best to give the child the best education, and he will even consider letting the child inherit the title.
He had imagined a lot these days, but he never imagined that he had been given a drug that would make him infertile.
This child is not his.
Yao Niang’s tenderness and affection over the years were all fake!
He's a complete joke!
All the events of the past few decades kept flashing through his mind, and endless anger almost swallowed up Qingyuan Hou.
At this time, Shen Qingyue finally came to his senses. He asked anxiously: "Since my sister knows that Dad was given a drug that will make him infertile, she should also know who gave him the drug, right?"
When asking this question, Shen Qingyue's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up by two steps.
He didn't know how Shen Qingchi knew that Marquis Qingyuan had been given a drug that would make him sterile, but the Shen family would not harm Marquis Qingyuan, and he and his third brother had never done such a thing. So the only ones left were his eldest brother and Cao Chunxi.
Poisoning his own father and leaving him childless is an unforgivable crime. Once proven, Shen Qingyuan and Cao Chunxi will be finished!
Not only Shen Qingyue thought so, but everyone present also looked at Shen Qingyuan as soon as they heard his question.
Seeing everyone like this, Yun Wantang in the corner lowered his eyes slightly, with a flash of satisfaction in his eyes.
Once Shen Qingyuan is convicted, no one will interfere with the trade with Yuexi anymore. The incense will be sold in large quantities in Zhaoling, and the land where they grow spices will become an inexhaustible gold mine.
The Taifu Mansion will become the number one family in Hanjing, and she will become a role model that all the ladies of the noble families in Hanjing will compete to please and admire.
Thinking of this, Yun Wantang couldn't suppress the trembling of her lips. However, at this moment, she heard Shen Qingchi's low, hoarse voice with a slight tremor: "It's me!"
Yun Wantang suddenly looked up at Shen Qingchi.
Shen Qingchi tightly grasped the silk handkerchief in his hand, his face was as pale as paper, his thin body was shaky and fragile, and it was obvious that he was easy to control.
But Shen Qingchi did not publicly identify Chunxi as she expected, but took the responsibility for it himself.
Is this little bitch crazy?
Her daughter was only one month old, and both of them would have to rely on the Taifu Mansion for the rest of their lives. How dare she not do as she said?
Yun Wantang was stunned, and Shen Qingyue yelled in disbelief, "Shen Qingchi, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Although Shen Qingchi lost her virginity before marriage and was first a concubine in the Taifu Mansion and then promoted to the main wife, she was of no help to Shen Qingyue after being promoted. However, having a sister who was the main wife in the Taifu Mansion was much better than having a sister who murdered her own father.
Shen Qingyue felt that something was wrong with Shen Qingchi. After he said that, he wanted to drag Shen Qingchi away, but before he could grab Shen Qingchi's hand, he was kicked away by Qingyuan Hou.
The corners of Qingyuan Hou's eyes turned red, like an angry lion. He stared at Shen Qingchi and ordered word by word: "Keep talking."
At this point, Shen Qingchi was not so scared anymore. She raised her head and met Qingyuan Hou's cold gaze and continued, "Dad, do you remember? One New Year's Eve, mom and I made dumplings together. Dad was so happy when he came home that he ate a lot of dumplings."
Those memories were too long ago, and Qingyuan Hou had long forgotten them. But after listening to Shen Qingchi's story, he immediately asked, "Were those dumplings drugged?"
"Yes," Shen Qingchi nodded. "At that time, Dad was bewitched by a vixen outside and refused to come home. Mom would always hold me and cry. She was afraid that the vixen outside would give birth to a bastard and come back to compete for her favor, so she asked me to act out a scene with her to trick Dad into eating those drugged dumplings. Those drugs were actually for animals. Maybe they were too strong, Dad was sick for a few days after eating them."
"Bitch! I'll kill you!"
Marquis Qingyuan was furious and rushed forward to strangle Shen Qingchi by the neck.
Mrs. Mo herself is a shameless bitch who climbs into bed, and the daughter she gave birth to is also a bastard!
How dare they give him a sterilizing drug, and even give him medicine meant for animals!
The moment Marquis Qingyuan went crazy, Chunxi realized that something was wrong. She called her husband and wanted Shen Qingyuan to stop Marquis Qingyuan. However, as soon as Shen Qingyuan moved, a creepy crisp sound reached everyone's ears.
The crowd let out a cry of fear, Chunxi's heart trembled, and Shen Qingyuan quickly turned around and took her into his arms.
Through Shen Qingyuan's arms, Chunxi saw Shen Qingchi being thrown to the ground.
Marquis Qingyuan broke her neck.
