"It's quite a coincidence. Over the years, while working for the Crown Prince, I've had many collaborations with Qianfan Pavilion. I'm an old acquaintance of Miss Wei Yu, but it's only been limited to completing tasks. A year ago, I wanted to find out where my family was, so I asked Miss Wei Yu for help. She said she was interested in me, and at that time I clearly told her that I was a married man. We didn't have any contact for a long time after that. I never expected to meet her again in the teahouse in Jingzhou."
"The Pavilion Master manages Qianfan Pavilion, so he should be aware of his subordinates. However, knowing that Miss Wei Yu had feelings for me, he still sent her to me and Jiu'er. He said it was for protection, but in reality, it was for supervision. When I was talking to Jiu'er, she deliberately interrupted me. When I was thinking about coming to the capital to take up my post alone, I wanted to spend more time with my wife and children. She also found an opportunity to interfere."
"I think, as a subordinate, how could I do such an outrageous thing without my master's permission?"
"I was away from home, and Jiu'er was unaware of her feelings. She even asked her to escort me on my journey. But on the first night at the inn, she drugged me..."
“Madam, Jiu’er and I have been reluctant to say much out of politeness because she was sent by the Pavilion Master. However, her appearance has seriously affected our relationship. If I hadn’t been on guard that night, she would probably be sharing a husband with Jiu’er right now. It’s good that the Pavilion Master sent people to protect us, but is it really necessary to be so thorough in protecting us in bed?”
“I have been separated from Jiu’er for many years. Jiu’er has raised the child alone all these years. It has not been easy for her. Now that we are finally reunited, I only want to give her my heart. How could I do something so despicable as to betray her?”
"It is kind of you, Lord, to send someone to protect us, but we are unworthy of such protection. Please take this person back, Madam!"
He poured out all his anger in one breath, which contained genuine feelings, but it was mostly acting, because his voice was choked with emotion!
Yes, she choked up!
It was still that kind of restrained sobbing, the kind that made you feel like he could break down and cry out loud in an instant!
The coachman was stunned. His master, such a tough and resolute man, actually had such a vulnerable side. What had this woman done along the way to anger his master like this?
Jiang Ruoya was completely dumbfounded; she had no idea about any of this!
Even if she didn't know, as a woman, she could empathize deeply with the sudden appearance of an ambitious woman in her husband's life.
That was her daughter. She only hoped that Jiu'er could live a peaceful and happy life, instead of experiencing so many terrible things.
What she couldn't believe was that this terrible thing was done by her husband, who loved her deeply.
Having been together for so many years, Jiang Ruoya naturally knew what kind of person Mingze was, so when Lu Baichuan came to her with these words, she had no doubt that Lu Baichuan was lying.
After all, they came to us openly and honestly, so there's no reason for them to lie.
"I already know what you're talking about. You can go back now, and I'll give you an explanation."
Jiang Ruoya's reaction was very calm, but those who knew her well knew that she was really angry, especially Ling Yue and Ling Xue, who were already worried about their sect leader.
At this moment, Mingze had just received the news and was rushing back. His face was filled with urgency. He didn't expect Wei Yu to be so useless, and that Lu Baichuan to be so petty!
If you have something to say, just go to him directly. Why complain?
The lady has been searching for this woman for so many years. If she finds out that he's been secretly sabotaging their relationship, she'll turn the world upside down.
It's all over...
"What happened to him on his way to the capital? Why was no one with him?"
He asked his subordinate somewhat angrily, and the subordinate licked his lips and said, "It was the Pavilion Master who said that Wei Yu was free to do as he pleased and didn't need to follow along."
Mingze: ...
This was truly the worst decision he had ever made in his life!
Originally, he thought Wei Yu was a reliable person, after all, there had been no problems keeping an eye on him for the past few days. Moreover, since the two of them were developing a relationship, it wasn't appropriate for him to keep sending people to keep an eye on them. So he thought he would withdraw his people first and contact them again when he arrived in the capital. Who would have thought that Wei Yu would be dealt with on the way?
Not only was the problem solved, but he was also brought to their door bound hand and foot. Mingze felt his blood pressure rise considerably.
He rushed back in a panic, but Lu Baichuan had already left. His visits were never very long; he would leave as soon as he finished complaining.
Mingze gave Wei Yu to disgust him, and he gave Wei Yu to disgust Mingze in return, giving him a taste of his own medicine and seeing who was more disgusting!
The courtyard was quiet, and the servants didn't dare to breathe. When they saw Mingze return, they all looked at him with sympathy. Someone quietly reminded him, "Master, the madam is really angry this time. She's personally interrogating Wei Yu!"
He will personally conduct the trial!
Mingze was shocked. His wife was always gentle and disliked interrogating people, but today she actually did it herself, which showed that she was really angry.
Mingze swallowed hard and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Jiang Ruoya's voice came softly. Mingze gently pushed the door open and saw Wei Yu lying on the ground, half dead.
She arrived like this, not because Jiang Ruoya did it. Jiang Ruoya is a very gentle person, and even when interrogating people, she didn't do anything to Wei Yu.
Although Wei Yu said some things, he absolutely could not betray the Pavilion Master, so he did not reveal Ming Ze's identity.
Mingze was shocked when he saw Wei Yu's disheveled appearance. In his memory, Wei Yu had never made herself look so disheveled. But at this moment, she was not only disheveled, but also looked like a dying person, with no hope in her eyes.
What exactly happened in the past few days?
I used to think Lu Baichuan was a gentleman, and that he would be easy to deal with. I never imagined that he had underestimated him.
A person from humble beginnings could become a second-rank Assistant General in just a few years. No matter how deceptive his appearance may be, he could never be a person without guile.
He was careless.
But what bad intentions could he possibly have? He simply wanted to find a successor for his business empire...
"Carry him away."
With Mingze's arrival, Wei Yu was no longer of any use. Jiang Ruoya ordered Ling Yue and Ling Xue, who took Wei Yu out. Knowing that the couple wanted to talk privately, they thoughtfully closed the door and kept a distance so as not to eavesdrop.
Seeing Jiang Ruoya like this, Mingze immediately felt incredibly guilty: "Madam, I..."
"Aze, you should know how much I care about Jiu'er, right?"
Jiang Ruoya interrupted him, speaking in a flat tone with a hint of indifference in her eyes.
"I know."
Mingze nodded obediently, like a little kid who had done something wrong.
