The crowd erupted in uproar upon hearing Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng's words.
"You must be kidding! Lord Yun doesn't look like a bad person!"
"He probably said that to get away with it!"
"But they are willing to confront Lord Yun. I wonder if Lord Yun is willing to come out and confront them?"
...
Yun Xian, Yun Lianhua, and Xie Sheng have been keeping a close eye on Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng's situation.
Seeing that the crowd of people were forcing the two to atone with their deaths, the group was very satisfied.
To Yun Xian's surprise, Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng suddenly proposed to confront him!
It seems that Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng have run out of tricks and only have confronting him left as an option.
However, even if they confronted each other, they would have no way out.
He had spread rumors and laid the groundwork for so long so that Yun Chuwei wouldn't be able to attack him using Yun Lianhua's identity.
Now, even if Yun Lianhua reveals that she is his illegitimate daughter, he is no longer afraid.
Furthermore, even if we take a step back and assume he has a mistress and illegitimate children, so what?
He simply made a mistake that all men make, and no one will criticize him.
His reputation may be damaged, but he can find some opportunities to make up for it later.
He could even recount this incident as a romantic tale that everyone enjoyed.
Initially, he was threatened by Yun Chuwei, but he simply hadn't quite grasped the situation yet.
If Yun Chuwei tries to use the fact that he has an illegitimate daughter to manipulate him now, she's doomed.
As Yun Xian was pondering this, he heard Xie Sheng speak up: "Does Lord Yun wish to confront them?"
He stood up, bowed, and declined, saying, "They are, after all, my son and daughter. To ask me to confront them and personally send them to their deaths is simply too cruel, unless..."
Yun Xian fell silent after saying this.
Xie Sheng's expression darkened. He wasn't stupid; he knew that Yun Xian was trying to negotiate with him.
If it weren't for Lianhua's sake, he would have left long ago. After all, Yun Xian was Lianhua's father.
Xie Sheng said coldly, "If Lord Yun is willing to go out and confront me, and help me achieve my wish, then the previous matter will be wiped clean, and I will also promote Luo Jifeng in the future!"
Xie Sheng was very satisfied with these words.
He immediately replied, "Your Highness has given an order, and I dare not disobey."
After Yun Xian finished speaking, he took a step and walked outside.
Yun Lianhua watched Yun Xian's departing figure, clutching her chest, and looked at Xie Sheng, whispering, "Your Highness, if Father goes to confront Second Brother and Sister, the people might force them to atone with their deaths. Do we really have to do that? I..."
Xie Sheng reached out and took Yun Lianhua's hand, saying earnestly, "Lian'er, I know you're reluctant. But you are my savior, and I will not harm you! Everything I'm doing now is for you; I want to give you the best. You don't need to worry about anything, you don't need to do anything; just leave everything to me, okay?"
After Yun Xian finished speaking, he pulled Yun Lianhua up and embraced her.
Yun Lianhua lowered her head shyly, but her eyes flashed with boundless pride.
With the favor of her father and the crown prince, she no longer had to worry about anything.
Because they will present her with the best of everything.
What can Yun Chuwei use to compete with her?
-
Soon, Yun Xian stood at the entrance of the Marquis's residence, confronting Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng.
The people were also somewhat moved when they saw this scene.
Although they felt that Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng should atone with their deaths and wanted them to die quickly, they couldn't refuse these noble secrets.
If they hear something here today, it might become their topic of conversation in the future.
Thinking of this, the people were quite excited.
Yun Xian looked at Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng and spoke first: "What do you two want to confront me about? I don't want to confront you at all! I no longer blame you for the patricide, I have already forgiven you."
Upon hearing this, everyone began to speak.
"Lord Yun, although you love your children dearly, they have committed patricide. You should not condone them!"
"What's the point of having a child like that? Lord Yun, you already have an excellent eldest son and a perfect adopted daughter. You don't need to care about them!"
"Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng should atone with their deaths!"
...
Yun Chuwei felt disgusted when she saw Yun Xian's performance.
However, the next moment, she saw He Ning and Granny Song standing outside the crowd.
Behind He Ning and Granny Song, there were even the newly appointed prefect of the capital and some constables.
Xu Sheng and the people from the Ministry of Justice were also there.
Surprisingly, people from the Dali Temple also came.
Yun Chuwei's mood improved somewhat after being disgusted by Yun Xian, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Everyone who's supposed to be here has arrived, and it's time for the show to continue.
She looked at Yun Xian and said, "Yun Xian, you've been keeping a mistress and fathering illegitimate children..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Xian feigned shock, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
As expected, Yun Chuwei brought up the matter of mistresses and illegitimate children, and he had already thought about how to deal with it.
He only needs to first accuse Yun Chuwei of fabricating the facts to escape punishment, and then admit it with a disappointed expression. The people will then think that he admitted to such a thing in order to protect Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng.
When the time comes, the spies hidden among the people will stir things up, and the people's emotions will run high, and Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng will be doomed.
However, Yun Chuwei's next words shattered Yun Xian's expectations.
“We can overlook all of these things. After all, you are a marquis, and having concubines and mistresses is not a crime! But, in order to bring your mistress into the house, you want to poison your wife, our mother. How can my second brother and I tolerate this?”
Everyone was stunned by these words.
They were already shocked to hear that Lord Yun was keeping a mistress and had illegitimate children.
You should know that over the years, Lord Yun has only had one wife, Madam Yun, and has not even had a concubine.
When everyone heard that Lord Yun was planning to poison his wife in order to bring his mistress into the household, they were completely stunned.
It was quiet all around.
Yun Xian was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
How did Yun Chuwei find out that he poisoned He Ning?
He suddenly remembered that the bird's nest and poison were still in Yun Lianhua's hands.
What should he do? How can he destroy all of those things now?
The crowd of people came to their senses and, seeing Yun Xian remain silent, quickly asked, "Lord Yun, do you have any response to Miss Yun's accusations?"
Yun Xian also realized that the most urgent task was not to destroy the items, but to distance himself from the matter.
He put on a pained expression and looked at Yun Chuwei, saying, "I never expected that you would fabricate such a story to exonerate your second brother? Yun Chuwei, you have disappointed me greatly!"
