Chapter 66 Produce evidence
"An'er." Just then, Old Madam Jiang immediately came out.
"Let's talk things out."
“Yes, Father, Mother would never do such a thing.” Jiang Luan also sobbed beside her without stopping.
Suppressing his anger, Marquis Zhenyuan threw Lady Liu to the ground and roared, "I'm going to divorce you, you poisonous woman!"
"My lord, my lord, you can't divorce me!"
"My lord!" Upon hearing that she was to be divorced, Lady Liu immediately crawled over and grabbed the Marquis of Zhenyuan's foot, refusing to let go.
"My lord, you cannot divorce me. I have borne your children for so many years, how can you divorce me?"
Marquis Zhenyuan forcefully broke free, glared fiercely at Liu Shi kneeling on the ground, and roared, "Get out of here!"
Just then, a guard in black came over and handed him two letters.
"Master, these are two letters delivered by servants from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, asking me to give them to you."
"One letter is about the Zhou family's young master cheating at Linlangfang, and the other is about the Yu family's young master's accident at the lantern festival."
As soon as the guard finished speaking, Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, turned deathly pale.
She tried to get up and snatch the letter, but the Marquis of Zhenyuan beat her to it.
Lady Liu cried out in a panic, "My lord, my lord..."
Marquis Zhenyuan held the letter in his hand, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at Lady Liu, and said sneer, "What are you doing now? Are you feeling guilty?"
"Could it be that these two things are also related to you?"
He suppressed his anger, slowly opened the first letter, took out a certificate of authentication, and read its contents. His temples throbbed.
Upon opening the second letter and glancing at it, the Marquis of Zhenyuan sneered.
"Great! That's really great! Absolutely wonderful!"
He widened his eyes, strode up to Liu, and kicked her away with a powerful kick.
"You vicious woman! You're trying to ruin the Jiang family!"
“Mother.” Jiang Luan was terrified by the Marquis of Zhenyuan’s actions.
She immediately rushed to Liu's side and helped her up.
“Father, how can you say such things about Mother? She is your wife.”
Marquis Zhenyuan roared, "From this moment on, she is no longer one!"
An angry shout rang out, and Jiang Luan, holding Liu Shi, trembled slightly.
Marquis Zhenyuan sneered, "You vicious woman, you really don't spare any of Wanzhong's children."
"Yue'er was at Linlangfang, and the eldest son of the Minister of Works cheated. It was you who did it."
"The son of the Vice Minister of Revenue attempted to poison Zhi'er during the Lantern Festival; this was also your doing."
"What?" The words of the Marquis of Zhenyuan made everyone gasp.
"Do you know how dangerous it was for us that day at Linlangfang? If Zhi'er hadn't arrived in time, Yue'er would have had both hands broken. And how dangerous it was for us!"
"You're trying to ruin the Jiang family!"
"Guards! Drag this wicked woman to the inner hall! No one is allowed to stop me!"
Several guards came over, dragged Liu Shi up from the ground, and pressed her directly into the inner hall of the Jiang residence.
Inside the Jiang residence, everyone remained silent.
After several guards threw Liu Shi into the front hall, the maids and nannies in Liu Shi's courtyard were also brought to the front hall to kneel and wait for the final interrogation.
After helping Xiangyi up from the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence, Jiang Shuyue walked towards the front hall of the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence.
Upon arriving at the front hall of the Jiang residence, Xiangyi knelt down with a "plop".
"Please, Your Excellency, restore Xiangyi's innocence and give her an explanation. If the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion cannot provide an explanation, I will report this to the authorities!"
"If reporting to the authorities is useless, I will kill myself here in the Jiang family mansion and become a vengeful ghost to curse your Jiang family for generations to come!"
Xiangyi gasped for breath, large tears streaming down her face.
At this moment, Marquis Zhenyuan was holding his breath, unable to exhale, and stared intently at the person kneeling on the ground.
Startled, Lady Liu involuntarily leaned back and crawled to the Marquis of Zhenyuan, crying, "My lord, my lord, you have wronged me, my lord!"
Marquis Zhenyuan scoffed and pushed her away.
He shouted angrily, "What explanation do you have now?!"
"Even now, you still won't admit it!"
Lady Liu wept bitterly, saying, "My lord! You have been my wife for so many years, don't you know what kind of person I am?"
Marquis Zhenyuan clenched his fists tightly, suppressed his anger, closed his eyes, and slowly said, "Guards, drag them all away and beat them severely until they are willing to tell the truth!"
"I really can't cry until I see the coffin!"
Immediately afterwards, several guards wielding sticks went over and dragged the kneeling maids and servants to their feet, then carried them outside.
The maid in the Liu family's courtyard struggled desperately to break free from the guards holding her, and knelt down, trying her best to crawl towards the Marquis of Zhenyuan.
"Sir, spare me! Please, spare me! Spare me!"
"I said!"
Chunming knelt on the ground, trembling as she looked at the Marquis of Zhenyuan, then turned to look at Lady Liu beside her.
Liu knelt on the ground, turning her head to glare at her fiercely.
"Speak! What are you afraid of! I'm right here!" Marquis Zhenyuan roared.
Chunming stammered, "Yes, it was Madam who kept instructing me to deliver the message to Xiangyi."
"He also told me to instruct Xiangyi to watch me burn the letter, and if she didn't, to threaten her with her sister."
"Xiangyi's younger sister, Xiangran, killed several pregnant women in Lanqiao City. The prefect of Lanqiao City found out and imprisoned her. She was supposed to be executed in the autumn, but it was Madam who found a way to release her."
"They say that Xiang Ran can be used. If we can find a way to get her into Yanjing, it would be even better to use her methods in Lanqiao City to ruin the eldest young lady and the cousin."
"Later, Xiangyi ran away with the late Madam's dowry. Fearing that the matter would be exposed, the Madam sent people to hunt her down."
Liu clenched her fists tightly, glared at her fiercely, and lunged forward to slap Chunming across the face.
She scolded, "You shameless bastard! You've been with me for so many years, and you actually conspired with an outsider to frame me!"
She sent people to hunt down Xiangyi, but they went to Yanzhou, not Jizhou.
Chunming's eyes were bloodshot as she kowtowed repeatedly, the sound of her kowtows echoing in the front hall.
She knew the Marquis of Zhenyuan's methods; if she didn't admit her mistake, she would surely be torn to pieces.
She trembled and said, "Master, Master, I don't want to die, Master, please spare my life."
"I really don't want to die, it was all Madam's doing!"
Jiang Shuyue closed her eyes briefly, then suddenly sneered, "So this is the kind of person you are. It's a waste that I've called you 'mother' for so many years."
"Father, since this vicious woman is so ruthless, we should not let her go."
"Father!" Jiang Luan rushed to Liu Shi's side, pleading for her, "Father! Please, spare Mother!"
"Please spare your mother, Father, for the sake of the more than ten years your mother and I were married..."
