Chapter 65 Xiangyi Makes a Scene
Marquis Zhenyuan's expression changed slightly as he turned to look at Xiangyi, whose eyes were resolute.
"You have no grudge against Xiangyi, so why would she frame you? Logically speaking, you should have no connection whatsoever."
Seeing that the scene before him was a bit strange, Lu Nianqiu stepped forward and picked up the letter from the ground.
His eyes swept over the contents, and he instantly felt a chill run down his spine.
Jiang Zhi deliberately asked, "Cousin, what did the letter say?"
Lu Nianqiu quickly shook her head and said, "Zhizhi, no, it's nothing."
"Cousin, give me the letter." Jiang Shuyue was also curious and strode over. "Let me see what it says."
He only glanced at it once, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
He looked at Liu Shi in disbelief.
Unexpectedly, the person he had respectfully called "Mother" for so many years was actually so malicious.
He actually wanted others to destroy his sister and even tried to dump her body in the wilderness.
“This…” Jiang Shuyue looked at Liu Shi in astonishment.
Seeing that the Marquis of Zhenyuan's face was flushed with anger, Lady Liu immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "My lord, if I really wanted to do this, why would I write the letter myself, giving others a handle to use against me!"
"It is true that the above is my handwriting, but it could also be fake. This is really not what I wrote."
She knelt on the ground, gritting her teeth as she glanced at Jiang Zhi and Lu Nianqiu.
She did send a message to Xiang Ran, wanting her to use her methods to ruin Lu Nianqiu, but she didn't send a message.
Why was this letter on Xiang Ran's person, and why was it written in her handwriting?
Someone must be up to something here.
She looked at Jiang Zhi, and thinking about all the things she had done, she instantly felt a chill run down her spine.
Jiang Zhi stood in front of the door, looking at Liu Shi kneeling on the ground with a mocking gaze.
She was truly delighted that she knelt down and begged for mercy.
In her past life, Lady Liu had her maid steal her handwriting, intending to use it to express her affection for the cruel and heartless Prince Chu.
Prince Chu is His Majesty's younger brother. He is handsome, but he is an absolute pervert.
He liked to cut off the feet of young girls and make them into specimens for his own viewing. He also liked to capture young girls and use their bodies to make jujube wine, and use the runaway jujubes to make wine.
This Prince Chu's mansion was an endless hell.
None of the women in his household managed to escape alive.
Fortunately, she later tried her best to prove herself to the emperor, and with the help of her uncle's intercession, she escaped a disaster.
Unexpectedly, Lady Liu plotted to marry Lu Nianqiu into the Prince Chu's mansion.
Unexpectedly, Prince Xuan took a liking to Lu Nianqiu and married her before Prince Chu.
In this life, she practiced their handwriting.
On the way to Zuiyu Tower, Xiang Ran was on the verge of death when her men slipped this letter into her clothes.
The Marquis of Zhenyuan's face twisted with anger. He looked at Liu Shi kneeling on the ground and shouted, "Then explain why Xiangyi knows the maidservant beside you?"
"What about people?"
No sooner had the Marquis of Zhenyuan finished speaking than several guards brought out Lady Liu's personal maid.
As Chunming stepped out of the mansion, she saw Liu Shi kneeling on the ground, and then she saw Xiangyi kneeling on the ground as well. Instantly, she understood what was going on.
She immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "Master, Madam has been wronged. How could Madam know Xiangyi, Master?"
"This is definitely a scheme to frame the lady."
"The lady has been in the Marquis's mansion for many years and has never done anything out of line. Master, please do not be swayed by the prostitutes in the brothel."
Xiangyi bit her pale lips, looking at Chunming with resentment, and raised her voice, "Even now, you still won't admit it? Two lives have been lost, how do you explain that?"
"Now I've lost my sister and my lover, and I'm all alone. There's nothing left for me to care about."
"At worst, we'll all die together!"
She took out a few more slips of paper from her sleeve.
The slips of paper were crumpled beyond recognition, but the writing on them was still faintly legible.
"These are the evidence that Madam Jiang asked me to deceive Jiang Shuyue. Her maid told me to destroy them after I saw them."
But fearing I might get myself into trouble and be killed to silence me, I kept it secretly.
The small slips of paper were handed to Marquis Zhenyuan one by one, and he accepted them with trembling hands.
He couldn't believe that the woman he shared a bed with could be so vicious.
One by one, the small slips of paper were unfolded.
"Father, I don't believe it."
“I don’t believe Mother would do such a thing. She has been in our manor for so many years, and we have all seen what she has done. Mother would never do such a thing.”
Jiang Shuyue, who was kneeling on the ground, wanted to pick up the notes and read them.
But then she heard Xiangyi's bitter, sarcastic voice, "Jiang Shuyue, Jiang Shuyue, you are so stupid that you are pitifully stupid. You are so stupid that you can doubt the existence of your brain."
“If someone tries to harm you, you still keep calling them ‘mother.’ You’re really stupid.”
"If it weren't for my deep affection for you, you would probably be in jail long ago."
"What did you say?" Jiang Shuyue suddenly turned around and looked at Xiangyi in disbelief.
"Xiangyi, what do you mean? What do you mean by going to jail?"
Xiangyi sneered, "Your dear mother threatened me with my sister's life, making me deliberately incite you to fight with someone over a woman and injure them. What do you think her intentions could be? How could you be so stupid?"
"This, how could this be..." Jiang Shuyue stood there, still pondering what Xiang Yi had just said.
Seeing that her scheme had been exposed, Lady Liu reached out to tug at the Marquis of Zhenyuan's trouser leg, stammering, "My lord, you mustn't listen to Xiangyi's nonsense. She's lying!"
"Over the years, I have loved Yue'er the most. How could I let someone plot against him?"
"My lord... please believe me this once, for the sake of our many years of marriage. The words of a courtesan are not to be trusted, my lord."
Everyone held their breath, not daring to look at the expression on Zhenyuan Hou's face.
Marquis Zhenyuan stood there, trembling with rage.
From those small, fragmented memories of the past, I could always sense that something was wrong with Liu.
Whenever Jiang Shuyue made a mistake and Liu wanted to punish him, she would always stop him.
She acted like a loving mother, and sometimes even brought up the deceased Madam Lu.
Little did he know that he was the one who had harmed his own son.
Jiang Shuyue was unambitious and spent his time associating with prostitutes.
He couldn't even see through such an obvious setup.
Looking at the woman he had spent every day with on the ground, he suddenly felt as if the sky had fallen, and his mind went blank.
He abruptly pulled her up, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at her. "You tell me what exactly happened?!"
"What exactly is going on with these notes?"
"It was a coincidence that the maid in your courtyard met Xiangyi, but what about these notes? Are they also a coincidence?"
"How exactly are you going to explain all this?"
