Wanxing was a little apprehensive.
Ye Zhen stood calmly in front of her, bowing respectfully.
The Marquis of Zhongyong did not wake her up. Instead, he walked up to Ye Zhen and looked down at her.
After a long silence, he asked, "Ye family, why did you want to harm Yunzhou?"
Ye Zhen was not surprised by his questioning. He disdained the mundane affairs of the inner quarters and thus entrusted everything to the Lady of the Marquis, whom he trusted implicitly.
"When my mother arrived yesterday, she didn't even look at the scene before concluding that her daughter-in-law had killed her husband."
Today, my father is doing the same thing, but all the signs at the scene at the time indicated that it was Chi Heng who killed my husband.
She countered, "Why are Father and Mother so certain that my husband wasn't killed by Chi Heng?"
"You bastard!"
Marquis Zhongyong was furious, his imposing aura like Mount Tai pressing down on him, "Yunzhou is not the kind of person who would have an affair with a man, how dare you slander your own husband like this."
He wasn't unaware of the rumors.
But the Xie family are all upright men, and they have never produced such a morally corrupt person.
Yunzhou's martial arts skills were only average, because his mother hoped that her two grandsons could help and support each other.
Therefore, Yunzhou was allowed to pursue a career as a civil official, so that he could assist his elder brother, who was pursuing a military career, in the future, and also avoid conflict between the brothers.
Yunzhou also did an excellent job, studying diligently and displaying remarkable talent, which made the Marquis of Zhongyong very proud.
How could such a son lie beneath a man?
Marquis Zhongyong found it hard to believe and firmly believed that it was nonsense.
Ye Zhen was not intimidated by his imposing manner and asked again, "Father is away from home all year round. Has he ever truly understood his husband?"
Ye Zhen was so different from the daughter-in-law that Lady Hou knew that she suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy.
Therefore, clutching her chest, she weakly pointed at Ye Zhen and said, "My son is already dead, and you still think you haven't harmed him enough?"
Ye Zhen said calmly, "My mother raised many scholars from poor families in her bookstore, and that's how my husband gained his reputation for talent."
If Father doesn't believe me, he can easily find out.
"Ye Zhen, how dare you!"
Lady Hou's heart sank. How could Ye Zhen know all this?
She rested her head on the shoulder of the Marquis of Zhongyong, "My lord, you must do something about her. Yunzhou has already suffered enough; she can't be humiliated any further."
He glanced subtly towards the door, wondering why the magistrate hadn't arrived yet.
Then Ye Zhen continued, "My daughter-in-law is not talking nonsense. This matter was told to me personally by my cousin Ye Wantang."
Although my aunt had died in battle, given her connections, the information my cousin found out was probably true.
The daughter-in-law also believed that her cousin, being the legitimate daughter of a first-rank general, would not slander her husband for no reason.
If a husband's talent and learning can be faked, then what is real? Why can't a husband be a homosexual?
Her words calmed the furious Marquis Zhongyong down.
Lady Hou was filled with unease upon seeing this.
Just as he was about to say something more, he caught a glimpse of the county magistrate's clerk rushing over.
She breathed a sigh of relief and silently curled the corners of her lips.
Ye Zhen is doomed!
