Princess Anguo was married before? But think about it, Princess Anguo was already 18 years old when she returned to the Wenren family, so it seemed normal for her to be married. Didn't some people suspect it at the beginning? It was just that because the Wenren family acted so confidently, people ridiculed her for not being married at the age of 18. As a result, now... She hid it well enough.
Many people were instantly excited to watch a good show, and many people showed worried expressions. Regardless of their mood, they all looked at Wei Tingyu. Being deceived, and still so shameless...
However, the one with the biggest reaction was Fan Wuguo. The only difference was that he was full of interest and seemed eager to try. "Wow, who the hell is so capable today? Is he so bold?" Then he rushed to Wei Tingyu, put his arm around Wei Tingyu's shoulders, winked and said, "Did you hear that, my ex-husband?" But at the same time as he was excited, he also felt endless chill.
Mu Bei beside him also had an unhappy expression on his face. Although Wei Tingyu was his love rival, he didn't need to care if Wei Tingyu embarrassed himself. However, he cared about Xiaocao. When it was impossible for him and Xiaocao should have married in style today, he naturally hoped that everything would go smoothly. But someone deliberately made trouble at this time, which was courting death!
Fan Wuguo and Mu Bei were two of the people who knew about Wei Tingyu and Xiaocao's past, so how could they not know what this so-called ex-husband was like? Because they knew this, Mu Bei knew that he had no chance, otherwise why would he compete with Wei Tingyu instead of giving up easily? After all, in terms of comprehensive conditions, he was better than Wei Tingyu in any way.
Wei Tingyu had a gloomy face. He moved his shoulders, shook off Fan Wuguo's shoulders, turned around, and strode out.
Many people followed him out.
Wei Tingyu appeared at the gate, and other people from the Wen family also hurried over one after another, all of them with angry expressions.
Unlike what everyone thought, Wenrenjia was not in a hurry to explain anything to Wei Tingyu, and did not even feel that there was any rift between them. Wenrenjia might have some confidence, so he was not panicking. But did the Prince of Pingyang also trust Wenrenjia so much? Otherwise, did Wenrenjia actually talk to the Prince of Pingyang a long time ago
If this is true, then the Wen family is still kind and righteous, but the son of Pingyang Marquis is very flexible in order to get close to the Wen family and Princess Anguo. However, it is difficult for any other man not to be attracted by the benefits brought by Princess Anguo. Moreover, because of this reason, Princess Anguo will not be able to restrain her man after she gets married. At that time, she will be placed aside as a Bodhisattva, and it will not prevent her from taking ten or eight concubines. Except for the loss of face, the actual benefits are great.
Therefore, many people sneered at Wei Tingyu on the surface, but in their hearts they scolded him for being scheming, calculating, and cunning.
Looking at the man who claims to be Princess Anguo's husband, he is just an ordinary person, the kind that you would never find embarrassing in a crowd. On the other hand, the son of Marquis Pingyang is handsome and noble. The comparison between the two is like heaven and earth. If he is really Xiaocao's ex-husband, I am afraid he would be ashamed to death.
In a situation like today, this person naturally did not come alone. If he came alone, he would probably be gagged and dragged away before he could even open his mouth. These dozens of people followed him to give him courage.
Naturally, most of the people who followed Wei Tingyu were on his side, because they didn't know the situation, and no matter whether this matter was true or false, it would be very embarrassing if a fuss was made. If it was true... they were naturally eager to suppress the matter, and they wanted to find people from the military division to take these people down. It would be enough to accuse them of slandering the royal princess.
Wei Tingyu raised his hand to stop them, looking straight at the leader, "Pretending to be Princess Anguo's ex-husband..." There was no strong emotion, just a chill in his voice.
The man subconsciously took two steps back, trembling uncontrollably, swallowed unconsciously, and said, "No, no, I'm not pretending. I am the princess' husband, not her ex-husband. Now that the princess is of noble status, she looks down on a country boy like me, so it's only natural for her to marry someone else. But before that, shouldn't I write the divorce letter first? If my brothers hadn't entered the imperial city and accidentally seen her, we wouldn't have known that her identity had changed so drastically. We kept all this a secret, all a secret..." The grown man choked up as he spoke, "If you had told me, wouldn't it be reasonable to let her go? Because she left quietly, everyone in the family was very worried about her. Over the years, they have never stopped looking for her..."
It sounds like they are affectionate, loyal, and reasonable, which makes the grass look extremely miserable in contrast.
Whether it was the guests in the mansion or the people outside watching the excitement, the discussions were getting louder and louder.
The faces of the Wenren family members headed by Wenren Taibo were ashen, however, not many people even in the Wenren family knew about Xiaocao and Wei Tingyu's past. The other brothers and nephews were stopped by Wenren Taibo, who told them not to worry, that everything was okay. They were angry and furious, but not reassured. Since these people dared to come, they would definitely be made to never return.
There are always smart people everywhere. Judging from the attitudes of Wei Tingyu and Wenren Taibo, there is probably something wrong. So he is not in a hurry to follow suit and say something to avoid offending others.
Xiaocao naturally got the news as well. Her room, which had been bustling with people talking and laughing, had now become quiet. Everyone looked at Xiaocao but didn't say a word, each with their own thoughts.
Xiaocao remained calm, still wondering if the person causing trouble was the same person as the one who had caused trouble in the first half of the year. He did this again and again, really refusing to give up. However, he had managed to escape this time and was not caught. Does that mean he can avoid it again when the next attack comes
Wen Renying next to her was so furious. This crazy fan of her fourth sister was not only one of the insiders, but even if he was not, he would definitely stand on her sister's side without thinking. It seemed that he wanted to go out and tear her down.
Zhen Muyao would not attack anyone out of anger now, but it would be a big mistake to think that she was easy to mess with. She stopped Wen Renying and said, "They are just a bunch of clowns. How can we not deal with them? Lord Wenren and the others are ahead. Don't worry."
Xiao Cao comforted the other sisters in the family and pulled Wen Renying to sit next to her. "Just treat it as a joke and listen. After all, these people risked their lives to ruin my reputation. Such a big gift should naturally be accepted. In this way, let them finish this drama."
After hearing what Xiaocao said, Wen Renying's anger subsided a little. "Under normal circumstances, they might really succeed. What a pity..." Wen Renying sneered repeatedly. These people must be regretting it later.
Outside, "Since you said so, you must have an unusual understanding of Princess Anguo?" Wei Tingyu spoke slowly, and others did not notice that the coldness he exuded was growing stronger.
The man nodded hurriedly and counted every detail about Xiaocao, even including the location of the birthmark on her body.
Xiaocao is not a secluded girl who never goes out of the house. She is busy outside most of the time, so it is easy to find out many things about her. But if people know about this private matter, she will naturally feel unhappy. However, through these, we also know that there is a problem with the people serving Xiaocao - this matter can be big or small, and it is better to find out early - after all, Xiaocao's things before returning to the Wenren family are actually difficult to find out. She has been a loner in the imperial city for three years, and before that she was with Wei Tingyu. Because Wei Tingyu has a substitute in the imperial city to cover for him, no one knows his true situation, so naturally they don't know Xiaocao.
It is probably based on this point that the people behind the scenes will seize the opportunity to cause trouble. If the past is not clear, they can just let others throw dirty water on them. If no one knows, there is no evidence, and it is very likely that they will be unable to defend themselves.
"Where's the marriage certificate? Where's the household registration certificate?" It was still easy to talk to at this moment. Wei Tingyu suppressed his gnawing anger and continued to dig for information.
The other party looked embarrassed and said, "We country folk don't have so many rules, so this marriage certificate..."
Wei Tingyu sneered, "You don't dare to forge it, right? Princess Anguo is so noble. If someone forged something related to her identity, who can cover it up after a thorough investigation? - This is your last chance. Tell the truth and I can save your life."
Although there were dozens of people, they were all ordinary people. They had come to this point because of coercion and inducement. It was inevitable that some people wanted to retreat, but the leader had no choice. No matter what, he had to go on. "Don't talk nonsense. Although there is no marriage certificate, but when we got married, everyone in our village was present. How could it be fake?"
"Well, there is one thing I would like to let you know. Princess Anguo was indeed married before..."
Many people thought that this was indeed an agreement reached between the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion and the Wenren Family.
Wei Tingyu hadn't finished speaking yet, "It's just that I was the one who married her, twelve years ago, when she was eight years old. She has been mine from the beginning to the end!"
Boom! Wei Tingyu’s words were even more explosive.
—What’s going on
"You want to die, today I will make you die clearly and clearly." Wei Tingyu waved his hand, and the people he brought surrounded the dozens of people on the other side. It was too late to retreat now. "When Princess Anguo was born, she was stranded outside due to an accident and was adopted by Doctor Lin. Doctor Lin was born in the Lin family, a medical family decades ago. He has superb medical skills. Princess Anguo followed him until she was eight years old, and then he sent her to me.
Because he was born weak, he was fortunate to be treated by Doctor Lin when he was young, so he survived and formed a good relationship with him.
"Marquis Pingyang favors his concubine over his wife, and the Marquis Pingyang's mansion is full of filth and dirt." Wei Tingyu was not soft-hearted when revealing the scandal of the Marquis Pingyang's mansion. He said that family disgrace should not be made public. It was not the case. "My mother retired to the Buddhist temple and raised me outside. I grew up in the Marquis Pingyang's mansion as a substitute. If not for this, it is hard to say whether I, Wei Tingyu, could grow up. Even if I grew up by chance, I am afraid I would have been spoiled long ago. How could I be here today?"
This is absolutely true. If she stayed in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, the outcome would be very likely to be the same as what he said.
"I married Princess Anguo when I was eleven years old. We lived and ate together for seven years and grew up together. My grandfather passed away suddenly, and my affairs were exposed. Concubine Shun and Prince Dun gained power, and Concubine Zhou and her son became more and more arrogant. They didn't know the identity of Princess Anguo. When I returned to the imperial city, my future was uncertain. I was afraid that she would be in trouble, so I pretended to be dead and escaped. I would take her back after I dealt with the affairs of the Marquis of Pingyang Mansion. However, things are unpredictable and I was plotted against.
He never expected that Princess Anguo was actually the daughter of the Wen family. Unable to control himself, he visited the Wen family through the excuse of the Han family. Later, he was discovered by Princess Anguo and his identity was finally exposed.
At that time, the son of the Marquis of Pingyang was just a useless person who was about to die. I didn't deserve to die, but Princess Anguo refused to give up. She wanted to treat my illness. It would be better if she had a legitimate relationship with me. However, the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion had not been cleaned up yet. I didn't know what would happen if the concubine Zhou caught me. That's why I had to force her to marry me. Speaking of which, I should thank Prince Dun for his "help" at the beginning. "
Wei Tingyu's words were naturally not meant for her so-called ex-husband, but for the distinguished guests present.
But looking at the expression on Prince Dun's face...
At first, Prince Dun thought that he had offended the Wen family for the sake of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. Now he knows that he was just being used. You can imagine how furious he is. If he hadn't been stopped, he would have started a big fuss.
The dozens of people who were causing the trouble were all trembling with fear. How could this happen? The adult clearly said...
"This, this is just your one-sided story, a fabrication..." In fact, I almost believed it in my heart, which made me even more afraid.
"One-sided? If it weren't for our past friendship, I, a helpless person, would have forced the Wen family to agree to the marriage. It was clearly an enemy. Even if Princess Anguo was kind and didn't care about me, she wouldn't have tried her best to find a good prescription and medicine for me, right? Besides, the Wenren family wouldn't let their daughter sacrifice so much for an enemy, right? If they were real enemies, they would have hoped that I would die sooner, so as not to implicate their daughter."
I was speechless. After making this connection, all the inconsistencies and confusions that I had before were explained.
"The Emperor also knows about what happened between me and Princess Anguo."
Okay, that’s it, this is a hammer blow, no more doubt.
"Catch them all and take them to Kaiping Prison. We will deal with them after today." Wei Tingyu no longer tried to hide his anger. His good life was disrupted, but it was better to lay it all out, announcing to the world that Xuan'er was his and had always been his. No one else could dare to covet her!
