Chapter 260: How to Make Them Lose Everything
The old marquis heard the onlookers constantly scolding him and Shui Qiulan and her daughter.
He just felt it was so unfair.
And if this spreads throughout the capital, what will Qiulan do at her husband's house?
He propped himself up and shouted with all his might, "That's not the case. The mother and daughter and I are innocent."
"These two are just throwing dirty water at us."
"I admit that when I was young, I had a crush on Shui Qiulan's mother, and I also let my son marry her daughter."
"But there is absolutely no personal relationship between me and them."
"The paintings and letters in the brocade box are all my own collections. They have nothing to do with the mother and daughter."
"If you want to believe that we have an affair, then show me the evidence. Otherwise, I will never admit it."
The old lady sneered, "Isn't this evidence enough to prove it?"
"Besides, I saw you and Shui Qiulan having a secret meeting with my own eyes. Do you dare to say that you didn't?"
The old marquis glared at her and said, "You are slandering me. We were just discussing something, but you said it was a secret meeting."
He insisted, "We didn't do it. We are innocent."
The old lady looked speechless. "Okay, okay, you are innocent, say whatever you want."
The more she did this, the more people believed her.
Anyway, they absolutely don't believe that the old marquis and Shui Qiulan and her daughter are innocent.
The old nobleman who was watching the fun at the gate of the Marquis's mansion before.
Now they were also standing at the door watching.
He laughed and said, "What do you want to discuss that requires sending the maids and waiters away to talk alone?"
"That's your son's woman, your niece-in-law."
"Isn't this obviously something fishy?"
Others nodded and said, "That's right, which uncle would discuss things with his niece-in-law alone?"
"It's unacceptable for a father-in-law to subsidize his daughter-in-law alone, let alone giving so much to his niece-in-law."
Another old playboy echoed, "Even the seeds belong to him, how can he not subsidize it?"
"If the Third Young Master had not been appointed as the Crown Prince by the Emperor, I'm afraid he would have been replaced by the eldest son of the Second House."
Wei Fenghua added meaningfully, "If my son had been burned to death last night, the position of the crown prince would have gone to the second wife's son, whose father is unknown."
The old marquis heard her accusing him again and put the blame on him.
He saw again the old playboys, whom he used to look down upon and had the worst relationship with, laughing at him and mocking him.
No one listened to his explanation, no one believed him, and he was speechless. It was such a painful and frustrating feeling.
In addition, he was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat, and was so angry that he spat out blood and fainted.
Seeing the old marquis vomiting blood and fainting, everyone booed.
I'm dizzy now. This is too naive.
I'm afraid he was pretending to be dizzy on purpose.
The governor of Kyoto asked the imperial physician to come forward and take a look.
The doctor confirmed and nodded, "He did faint."
The governor of Kyoto discussed the matter with officials from the Ministry of Justice.
Because there is no evidence to prove that it was the old marquis who set the fire, and he is now half-dead from his injuries.
According to the imperial physician, the injury is quite serious and he might die if he is thrown into prison.
After asking Wei Fenghua's opinion, they announced that the old marquis would return home to recuperate first, and they would send someone to thoroughly investigate the arson.
We have to find out for sure that it was the old marquis who did it before we can make a judgment or punishment.
Wei Fenghua didn't want to kill the old marquis right now. After all, death would be too easy for this old bastard.
No matter what, the old bastard will lose the face and reputation that he cares about the most, and he will be unable to live or die.
He had to watch as the reputation of that mother and daughter became infamous in the capital. He lost everything and his life became increasingly difficult because of it.
Wei Fenghua and Jiang Yilin helped the old lady leave the Kyoto Prefecture. None of them looked at Jiang Ji'an, who looked distraught.
(I have to go out for something temporarily, I will post the rest when I come back tonight~)
