Be A Virtuous Wife! So Tough!

C187 – How Could He Be Alive to This Day?

“Good! Good! Haha… The heavens are really helping me!” In the Prefecture Lord’s Mansion, Old Prince heard about what happened in the Su Ying Pavilion last night and laughed heartily. There was no better news than this.

However, in the next moment, he couldn’t laugh anymore. Another man who was in charge came in and said, “Your Highness, something bad has happened.”

“En? What could be bad? This King is doing very well now!”

Half of the people in Ye City had heard that Crown Princess was visiting brothels at night and almost had an affair with other men. If Crown Prince had not arrived in time, he would have definitely been cuckolded.

The moment this news spread, the people immediately became excited. Crown Prince’s husband was a famous person in Ye City. Which one of them wasn’t loved by others?

Some people believed him, and immediately cursed Tang Yue for deceiving the world and stealing his reputation. Some people didn’t believe it either. They felt that there must be an inside story behind this matter.

Regardless of whether they believed it or not, Old Prince believed it anyway. So what if it wasn’t true? It was true that Tang Yue had gone to Su Ying Pavilion, and it was also true that Crown Prince Zhao had gone after him. It was also true that someone had seen a naked man in the house after that.

So many facts, how could Tang Yue explain himself?

There was no better news in the world. Old Prince still had a smile on his face. “Tell me, what exactly happened?”

As long as it wasn’t the extermination of the family, what could have happened?

“Your Royal Highness, something happened to First Prince last night at Yue Lou. At this moment, the news has already reached the palace. The Great King has ordered people to bring First Prince into the palace.”

“First Prince is only going to Yue Lou. Could it be that he is jealous of someone?”

“Yes and no…” The manager stammered and could not explain clearly.

“Bastard, yes or no, investigate thoroughly before replying!”

The steward wiped his sweat and lowered his head, “Your Royal Highness, do you still remember the person you arranged to enter the Crown Prince’s Residence?”

“Oh? That musician? Wasn’t he taken down because he had an affair with Crown Princess?”

“Yes, but last night, he appeared in Nice House and… and he was having an affair with a few men. First Prince happened to bump into him. In his rage, First Prince killed those men with his sword. But after killing them, he found out that their identities were not simple. At this moment, the elders of the families have joined forces to report to the Palace!”

“This… this…” Old Prince really wanted to scold him, “Ah Dou really can’t stand up!”

He had already determined that Li Xu had died because of his beauty. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was the only one among the princes who could make decisions easily, he wouldn’t have spent so much effort on him.

“Since he’s courting death, let’s just pretend we don’t know.” If what happened last night could cause the Crown Prince’s husband’s emotions to collapse, then he would be one step closer to his goal.

“I’m just afraid that… First Prince will give you up.” The steward carefully looked at his master. Sure enough, his expression changed drastically.

Slap! Old Prince smashed the table in front of him with one palm. He raised his eyebrows and scolded, “Nonsense! What does this have to do with me? What benefits can he, Li Xu, get by offering this king?”

“Yes, yes…”

Old Prince lowered his head and pondered for a moment before instructing him, “Send a message to the informants in the palace. Tell him to find an opportunity to meet First Prince and tell him that I will find an opportunity to see the king and plead for him. Tell him not to be too impulsive!”

“I understand.”

This was the second time Tang Yue had stepped into Su Ying Pavilion. His mood was completely different from last night.

Currently, the Su Ying Pavilion was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. No one was allowed to go in or out. There were all kinds of curses and threats inside.

They didn’t even know what had happened. They were trapped here by someone. Even if they announced the name of the royal family, they wouldn’t be able to leave.

Wang Dingjun picked a clean room for Tang Yue and asked him, “Where does young master want to start?”

“Bring Qiu Ju here first…” Seeing that Wang Dingjun did not understand, he added awkwardly, “Ahem, it’s the woman in the house last night.”

Wang Dingjun suddenly understood. “It’s her! Wait a moment.”

Tang Yue looked at his exaggerated expression and realized that he had been played.

That was true. As Crown Prince Zhao’s number one fighter and assistant, how could Wang Dingjun not know which woman had entered his room last night?

A moment later, Tang Yue saw Qiu Ju. Last night, Zhang Chun’s chair was heavily patted on her leg. She was carried in by someone. Her forehead was wrapped in gauze and her face was pale.

Seeing Tang Yue, Qiu Ju was so scared that she trembled. She wanted to move but was pressed tightly by someone.

Tang Yue asked the others to go out. He looked at Qiu Ju for a few minutes and asked, “Do you know who I am?”

Qiu Ju nodded. Someone had already told her that if she had known who he was, she would not have made a move no matter how tempting or serious the threat was.

“Then can you tell me who made you attack and harm this young master last night?”

“This servant does not know him… It was him… It was him who threatened this servant, saying that if he did not do as he said, he would take this servant’s life.” Wuwu… Your Highness Crown Princess, “Please spare me…” Qiu Ju struggled to crawl to Tang Yue’s feet and begged for mercy in the most humble way possible.

Tang Yue looked at her coldly and did not move. If he had just come to this world, he would not have been used to being treated like this by others. But after a long time, the environment forced him to adapt.

If he was not a person, then he could only be a servant. This world was cruel.

“If you see him, can you recognize him?”

Qiu Ju nodded, “Yes… yes!”

Tang Yue asked Wang Dingjun to bring her to identify the person. An hour later, Wang Dingjun came back and shook his head. “There is no one she mentioned.”

Tang Yue did not find it strange. Since the other party could arrange everything so well, he must have thought of leaving ahead of time. He was just a little disappointed.

“Where was the man last night?” Tang Yue remembered that there was more than one person in the house.

Wang Dingjun smiled coldly. “Don’t look for that person. How could His Highness let him live until today?”

Tang Yue choked. “Then… didn’t you ask who drugged him and threw him in?”

“A small character like him wouldn’t know too much. It would be useless to ask.”

Tang Yue thought for a while and nodded in agreement. This person was obviously just a chess piece. He was innocent and innocent, but he was also stupid and willing to cheat. Such a person was really useless.

But at least one thing was clear. This man was not completely unknown. Otherwise, how could the person behind the scenes be sure that he would take the bait?

If the person who came in at that time was a straightforward and rigid man, perhaps they would be able to stay in peace until dawn.

However, would a man with a straightforward and rigid personality appear in a place like Su Ying Pavilion?

Tang Yue could not be bothered to think about it. He continued to ask, “Have you checked the list of guests who came last night?”

“I have basically checked. Take a look.” Wang Dingjun handed a stack of paper to Tang Yue. He sighed with emotion. This paper was really good. At first, he didn’t think much of it. After a long time, no one wanted to touch the thick bamboo slips anymore.

Tang Yue saw that not only was the name written on the list, but the background and family background of the person were also carefully written on it. He secretly praised Wang Dingjun and started to read carefully.

He took out a charcoal pen and cut off some commoners and wealthy businessmen. These people did not have the ability or reason to attack him. The remaining officials of the imperial court and the descendants of the officials were also divided into different grades.

“Let go of the people I cut off first. It will be detrimental to His Highness’s reputation if I keep them locked up for too long.” As long as these people walked out of this door, they would know who detained them. Tang Yue did not want them to have a bad impression of the Crown Prince’s Palace.

“Yes.” Wang Dingjun glanced at the list and nodded. Although Crown Princess was not involved in politics, at least she was not stupid. It might not be difficult for Crown Prince to ask him to help her grow.

“Wait…” Tang Yue thought for a while and instructed him, “Call the rest of the people over to ask questions later. Ask them to write who they came with last night. Who are their companions? Have they met anyone they know here and asked them to write everything.”

Wang Dingjun felt that this was a good idea. The murderer must have left the scene first. He definitely could not sit and wait to be arrested after doing such a big thing.

However, as long as he appeared here, no one would be able to see him.

“Let us out! … Why can they leave? We can’t leave. When are you going to lock us up?”

The people who were released seemed to have been granted amnesty. They ran away with bees in their arms. Those who were not let out were naturally jealous. Moreover, after being locked up for a night, their minds were tense like a frightened bird.

Wang Dingjun stood out and walked around in front of everyone. He said in a pleasant manner, “There was a murder here last night. His Highness ordered us to investigate the murderer. Those people just now were innocent people who were interrogated. As long as they are innocent people, we will naturally let them go.”

As Crown Prince Zhao’s powerful assistant, Wang Dingjun knew a lot of people in Ye City who knew him. The people who stayed behind were all officials of the court or disciples of noble families. Naturally, they knew him as well.

When they saw him here and heard him say that it was Crown Prince’s order, they all stopped talking and didn’t dare to make any more noise.

But not making any noise did not mean that they did not want to defend themselves. Someone could not help but ask, “May I ask Vice General Wang, what exactly happened last night? The places that require our assistance are naturally not to be denied.”

Wang Dingjun smiled in satisfaction. “There is no rush. We need to ask questions one by one. This is the young master of the Mu En family, isn’t he? Please follow me.”
