She lowered her head, looking dejected. "Unfortunately, apart from inquiring about my eldest brother's usual conduct, I haven't found any evidence yet. But what my second brother said is true. I beg Your Excellency to investigate thoroughly."
It's normal for a new maid to not be able to find evidence. The fact that Wu Er came to complain before she could find any evidence shows that the two of them did not collude beforehand.
Rather, it was as Wu Er said, a gamble on his character.
The Marquis of Zhongyong's suspicions lessened somewhat, but he was still puzzled. Was it not Ye Zhen?
Who is that?
A tall figure appeared before him.
The rebellious son, Xie Tingzhou, has arrived.
He sat down lazily next to Marquis Zhongyong, his long arms and legs swaying. “He Ming often brags about how wonderful his fiancée is in the army. I’m sick of hearing it.”
Unable to bear his pathetic state, and thinking that his judgment of character probably wasn't too bad, and seeing that this kid had been lurking suspiciously outside the mansion these past few days, he decided to do a good deed.
Ye Zhen paused slightly, surprised that Xie Tingzhou had taken the responsibility, which was different from what they had discussed before.
And just now he attacked Ye Wantang...
Why did he help her?
When the Marquis of Zhongyong saw her, he gestured for her to sit down beside him, without asking her about the morning dew.
She glared at Xie Tingzhou, saying, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Xie Tingzhou smiled enigmatically, "You might not have believed me if I had told you earlier. Everyone knows that Liu's children are your precious darlings."
Marquis Zhongyong found these four words incredibly ironic.
He Ming knelt down with a thud, "Please allow me to investigate the truth, Your Excellency."
He came from a poor family and gradually rose through the ranks of the army by being fearless. However, his fiancée refused to marry him, saying she would wait until he returned from a major battle before marrying him.
Therefore, when he learned that she was willing to become a concubine in order to gain wealth and status, he was filled with grief and indignation and never doubted the truth of the matter.
If she was truly a victim, rather than someone who disliked him, and he believed the rumors, then he deserves to die.
Xie Tingzhou smiled and reminded her, "How could the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion go out alone?"
There will definitely be guards and maids following them. They can be pulled over and interrogated. It's much easier than going outside the city to investigate that old master.
Marquis Zhongyong no longer knew how to describe his feelings.
On one side was his daughter, and on the other were his generals who had risked their lives for him. In the end, he waved his hand and went with He Ming, with Chen Qing and Wu Dong following closely behind.
Less than half an hour later, they dragged Zhiyun, who was covered in blood, over...
After discussing it for a long time, Xie Jinyao and Luo Lanqiao finally decided to use the old trick: admit their mistake first, then use gentle persuasion and appeal to their emotions.
When the Marquis of Zhongyong sent someone to bring Xie Jinyao away, Luo Lanqiao secretly gave her a thumbs-up and pounded her chest, indicating that she would never betray her.
"Father……"
Xie Jinyao had just gathered her emotions and was about to cry when she heard Marquis Zhongyong roar, "You wicked child, kneel down!"
He Ming clenched his fists tightly.
He personally interrogated Xie Jinyao's servants, and from them he learned of his fiancée's tragic and desperate situation at the time.
He wanted to kill everyone who had hurt her, including himself.
Before Xie Jinyao arrived, he had already punched himself a few times, so when Xie Jinyao was brought over, he couldn't help but approach her.
Hearing the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery roar at her, and meeting He Ming's bloodshot eyes, Xie Jinyao completely forgot the carefully prepared speech in her mind.
Upon seeing Zhiyun's mangled body again, she collapsed to the ground.
"Father...Father..."
