Chapter 255: Justice is Right
Zijuan is old and pregnant, so her body can't take it anymore. Recently, her face has become even more haggard.
The middle-aged woman who used to be very charming now looked very old. She knelt on the ground and cried, which not only did not arouse Lu Guanxuan's sympathy, but instead made him feel a little disgusted.
Why did I fall for such an old, ugly woman who had been married before?
Thinking about it now, he just felt disgusted.
"Back then, you hooked up with me behind Fang's back. It shows that you are a restless person at heart. Who knows whose child this is?"
Lu Guanxuan's tone was cold, like a knife, stabbing into Zijuan's heart, making her feel cold.
After hearing this, Lu Zhiran felt a deep sense of sarcasm in his heart.
Her father was so cold and selfish. If she pinned her life and hopes on him, she would be doomed to end up in utter disappointment.
Her mother is a living example.
She looked at the broken emotions in Zijuan's eyes and took the initiative to speak.
"Father, it's too hasty to draw a conclusion based on just a few letters. If you wrongly accuse Aunt Zijuan, you will also lose this child you worked so hard to get."
After hearing this, Lu Guanxuan's anger finally calmed down a little.
But the evidence was right in front of him, and the seeds of doubt had been planted in his heart. He absolutely could not trust Zijuan as before.
Lu Zhiran suggested, "Why don't we ask a handwriting expert to personally authenticate these letters? He'll be able to tell if they're real or fake."
Zijuan looked at Lu Zhiran gratefully.
"I have acted uprightly and have absolutely never done anything to offend the master. I can withstand investigation!"
Lu Guanxuan's expression was still cold, but he did not object in the end.
He knew a famous handwriting appraiser and immediately sent someone to invite him.
Qiu Li's eyes flickered slightly, but nothing could be seen on her face.
At this moment, the servant who had just gone to search Doctor Li's house made a new discovery.
"Master, I found a lot of women's things in Doctor Li's room. The word 'juan' was embroidered on them. They seem to belong to Concubine Zijuan..."
Lu Guanxuan looked through the things one by one.
There are purses, sachets, and even small clothes for women.
The word "juan" was indeed embroidered on it.
He had even seen the little dress with the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water. When Zijuan wore it, it reflected her fair skin and was extremely attractive.
But now, it was found in Li Rongfa's room!
Lu Guanxuan had just convinced himself to believe the other party, but now, with mountains of irrefutable evidence before him, the veins on his forehead throbbed and a huge rage overwhelmed him.
"Bitch! What else do you have to argue?"
Zijuan's face flushed crimson, her chest heaving up and down. "Master, I don't know what's going on. Someone must have stolen my belongings and deliberately framed me. Master, please don't fall into someone else's trap!"
Li Rongfa was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. "Master, I have never seen these things before. They must be framed by someone else!"
When Lu Guanxuan listened to their words again, he just thought they were quibbling.
At this moment, a woman at the side knelt down.
"Master, I have the audacity to say something about Aunt Zijuan."
Lu Guanxuan scolded coldly, "Speak!"
"I am an elder of the Lu family. Aunt Zijuan may not know me, but I am very familiar with her. I am an old friend of Aunt Zijuan's mother-in-law, Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen said that Aunt Zijuan has been restless since she married her son!"
"She was Madam's right-hand woman. Many guards offered her their attentions, and she accepted them all. She had ambiguous relationships with several of them. Once, she was caught by Mrs. Chen's son, but Aunt Zijuan had Madam's support, so Mrs. Chen's son dared not speak out and could only endure his anger. However, he became ill because of this, and he died just like that."
"To prevent the matter from being exposed, Aunt Zijuan found an excuse to send Mrs. Chen and her family away. I have no evidence to support these matters, and I had originally intended to keep them to myself. But today, Aunt Zijuan has done something so shameless again. Even if I have to give up my job, I can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb!"
The old woman spoke with such confidence that everyone present was stunned.
Lu Guanxuan was so angry that smoke came out of his head, and Zijuan was so angry that her face turned red.
"You are simply lying! Master, this woman is slandering me with nothing. She is simply convinced that my ex-husband and his family have left the capital, and there is no one to testify on my behalf."
The old woman pointed to the heavens and swore, "I swear to heaven that every word I just said is true. If I lied about even one word, I will be struck by five thunders and die a miserable death!"
Zijuan said excitedly, "Who wouldn't swear? I can swear too. I have never done anything to offend the master. Otherwise, I will die with two bodies, and after death I will go to the underworld and never be reborn!"
Lu Guanxuan frowned and shouted angrily, "Alright, everyone, shut up!"
Qiu Li stood behind Lu Guanxuan and kept patting his back to help him calm down.
"Master, please calm down. It will be bad for your health if you get angry."
Lu Guanxuan didn't say anything.
How could he not be angry when something like this happened?
Qiu Li said casually, "If Master is truly doubtful, why not invite Madam to come and let her make the final decision? This old woman might be lying, but Madam, you can't lie, right?"
Zijuan's face changed suddenly when she heard this.
She had betrayed Fang, so how could Fang let her go? She would definitely take this opportunity to get rid of her and her unborn child!
Lu Guanxuan frowned. He didn't trust Fang either, but Qiuli's words also made him hesitate.
Had he been deceived by Zijuan before? Why not first listen to what Fang had to say?
Just as he was about to agree, Lu Zhiran spoke.
"Father, Mother hasn't been feeling well since returning from the ancestral temple. She's been recuperating in seclusion for a while now. Let's not bother her about this. Besides, let me be frank. Mother and Aunt Zijuan have had a disagreement, so I'm afraid her words might be biased and shouldn't be trusted."
Lu Zhiran's words suddenly made Lu Guanxuan wake up.
Why did Fang go to the ancestral temple? Because she was deliberately plotting to murder her own offspring.
If she were to testify, would she tell the truth fairly and impartially?
Even though Lu Guanxuan had already determined that Zijuan was unfaithful, Lu Zhiran's words reminded him that Fang was the culprit who caused him to have no children.
No matter what, she must not be allowed to come out, let alone come to see her make a fool of herself.
"Sister Ran is absolutely right."
Qiu Li couldn't help but glance at Lu Zhiran, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
