Chapter 143 The Truth
"Keke you..." Why are you here? He looked at the pair of people standing on the side, Chu Tunan and Yan Xiu.
"Jiujiu, we came to offer condolences but we are a step late. What happened? Why is the Dali Temple here? Is my uncle here?" Zhao Keke looked worried.
"Please accept my condolences, County Lady." Chu Tunan politely consoled
"Thank you, come in, the banquet has just started, it's time for dinner," Wen Jiu replied neither servilely nor arrogantly, and said with some sarcasm.
"Are you okay? Can I come in?"
"Come in, your uncle is here too. There is no problem between you two. It's just that something happened at home. You should go and burn some incense first. Your uncle has already gone to the banquet."
"Okay." The three followed Wen Jiu into the mourning hall. Along the way, Wen Jiu gave them a general idea of
From the moment they entered the courtyard, went to the mourning hall, and then went to the backyard, the dishes were already served. When Xiao Jue saw them coming, he didn't say anything, but just moved his seat to warm the wine. Several people also bowed as a greeting. Chu Tunan, Yan Xiu, and Zhao Keke took their seats in turn.
"Who is this?" Xiao Jue looked at Yan Xiu and asked
"My Lord, I am Yan Xiu, the husband of Chu Tunan." Yan Xiu stood up and saluted, appearing polite.
"Well, sit down"
"Thank you, Prince"
Yan Xiu was not afraid that they would recognize him. He had changed his appearance since he entered Yandu. But his eyes were too attractive. Anyone who had seen them would remember them.
Xiao Jue didn't seem to doubt him. As expected, he had killed so many people that he couldn't remember him at all?
Xiao Jue didn't show it on his face. He ate and drank as usual. He was still waiting to see what would happen next. He had to investigate this person.
After eating, Zhao Keke and the others were sent away with warm wine.
She was also one of the suspects, so of course she had to be present. She told everything she had done.
Wen Xi is the same
Xiao Jue sat upright on the chair. He didn't say to leave, and no one chased him away. After all, he was Wen Jiu's fiancé, and they had originally planned to get married on his birthday after the New Year. But she didn't expect that after Madam Wen passed away, she could only observe mourning for three years...
Su Luobai was clearly in high spirits after dinner. From the small evidence he had collected and the reports from his servants, it was obvious that the evidence would be confirmed.
Xue must be pressed to the ground today
"The Prime Minister's Mansion is a powerful place in Beijing. How can they allow other men to come and offer warmth to them?" Xiao Jue said calmly.
The prime minister immediately felt ashamed. "You...Prince, stop talking nonsense. This is a private matter of my prime minister's mansion."
"Your private affairs in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Do you know that if someone didn't do it on purpose, this prince would have a wife after the new year? With this, can this prince be willing to wait for three years?" The Prime Minister blurted out the last question after the originally calm conversation.
"Don't you dislike warming wine? What's wrong with drinking it earlier or later?"
"So you know, she is your daughter, the legitimate daughter of your Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if you know that this prince doesn't like her, why don't you ask the emperor to cancel the engagement and let this prince waste his time?" Xiao Jue looked at him and asked
"This... the emperor has issued an edict. It is a gift and a blessing for her." The prime minister said excitedly and almost stood up
"Stop arguing, Prince, Prime Minister, please pay attention to the environment." Su Luobai cursed these two people in his heart, saying that they were not good people. It was really bitter.
"Just don't regret it." Xiao Jue said without looking at the Prime Minister.
"Considering all these factors, I'd better ask Madam Wen and Xue Wu to accompany me to the Dali Temple." Su Luobai sorted out the evidence and was about to leave.
"Why? Why don't Wen Jiu and Wen Xi have to go?" Mrs. Xue was dissatisfied.
"Based on these," Su Luobai shook the evidence in his hand.
"If that's the case, then doesn't that mean the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will have to go to the Dali Temple? Madam Wen, do you think I'm seeking revenge for personal gain?" Su Luobai looked at Xue with displeasure.
"This... this is hard to say," she muttered quietly, refusing to repent.
"Then let's do it here, Lord Su. I have some evidence here. Maybe I can help Madam Wen sort out her thoughts." Xiao Jue spoke again.
Xue had a bad feeling, but couldn't tell what was wrong.
Wen Jiu looked at Xiao Jue. He seemed to have some fatal evidence. Could it be that... Wen Jiu looked at Xue Wu and Xue Shi who were kneeling.
There's something good to watch
She doesn't need to do anything.
"What evidence? What does it mean? Is this another slander?" Xue roared without caring about anything.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Start shouting now, and then shout again when you see it later. Wouldn't that be more convincing?" Xiao Jue clapped his hands after he finished speaking.
A village woman was brought up. Xue saw that the woman was pale and trembling all over. Xue Wu, who was standing by, quickly supported her and comforted her, "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Brother, how can he hug the lady? How can this save father's face?" The prime minister heard Wen Jiu Cha Yan Cha Yu's words and immediately flew into a rage, "Ms. Xue, come with me!"
When Mrs. Xue heard what the prime minister said, she immediately reacted and separated from Xue Wu. "Husband, I just ran out of strength and felt dizzy, so... so..."
"Madam Wen, are you feeling guilty? You just shouted with such great strength, and now you are exhausted. Ha, this is really exciting." Xiao Jue looked at Xue's clumsy performance with disdain.
"Sir, why are you so sarcastic? I am Jiu'er's mother, your mother-in-law. How can you say such ugly words to humiliate me? Aren't you afraid..."
"Afraid? I'm afraid that the people in the capital will laugh at me even more in the future." Xiao Jue interrupted her.
"Sir, who is this?" Su Luobai looked confused.
"Oh, Lord Su, this is Mrs. Wen's midwife and the main witness. She did a lot of things. Why don't you let her speak for herself?"
"You, tell me," Su Luobai said to the kneeling village woman.
"Old lady, hello to all the distinguished guests. This matter starts from when my wife was still unmarried..."
"Shut up, how would I know where you got the person to slander me?" Xue rushed towards the village woman and was stopped by the Dali Temple.
"Madam, what you said really chilled my heart. I have been serving you since childhood. You secretly fell in love with Mr. Xue Wu and gradually got in touch with the Prime Minister. She was still not satisfied with being your stepmother, and she secretly conceived a child with Mr. Xue Wu. Then she forced me to buy you aphrodisiacs at a high price and gave them to the Prime Minister. After a few times, the Prime Minister naturally thought that this was his child. When she was about to give birth, she accidentally fell under the Prime Minister's nose and gave birth prematurely."
"I am an old woman who can deliver babies myself. Madam doesn't trust others and is afraid that other midwives will be able to tell that this is a full-term baby, so she asked me to deliver the baby..."
"What are you talking about?" The prime minister looked at the village woman. He knew that Xue was vicious. She treated Zhuohua viciously, and now she was even more vicious in wanting to confuse the bloodline of the Wen family.
Wen Moliang was now looking coldly at Xue Wu and Xue Shi who were kneeling there. The viciousness in his eyes could kill them both.
Wen Jiu was not too shocked. It seemed that she guessed right. But Wen Xi was a little confused. This was really a trick.
Su Luobai obviously didn't expect this explanation, and couldn't help asking, "How does this relate to Madam Wen's death... Could it be that..." Su Luobai probably guessed it, so he spoke hesitantly.
