The eldest lady is both a doctor and a warrior, they love her so much

"Hey, have you heard it?" Suddenly someone whispered to his companion.

"What did you hear? Can you please stop talking halfway?" When the man heard the gossip, he was naturally happy to listen to it, but he didn't say anything and kept people in suspense. No, it was his turn to treat everyone today.

The man drank a cup of tea and said mysteriously, "I heard that Prime Minister Hua has not remarried for so many years, not because he has a deep relationship with his wife, but because he has a deep affection for the maidservant beside his wife."

"That's impossible. Isn't it said that he and his wife are deeply in love?" The other man put down the teacup in his hand and forgot to drink tea for a moment.

"How would you and I know what's going on in the inner house? After all, there's nothing groundless. Moreover, it's said that his wife's maid left the Prime Minister's Mansion many years ago. Guess what happened when she came back? Hey, she brought a child with her! It's a boy!"

"A boy? Speaking of which, General Hua died, so the Hua family has no descendants!" The man thought of something and asked, "But the maid's child never said who the father of the child was?"

"That doesn't mean it belongs to Prime Minister Hua, right?" The people at another table were also curious and asked casually.

Now the teahouse is lively again.

Everyone likes to gossip, let alone a group of people gossiping.

"But everyone is saying that the reason why Prime Minister Hua has not married for many years is because he already has a son, born to that maid. Now that maid has become his daughter's wet nurse. Who would believe you if you said there is no reason for this?"

"Is this true? Prime Minister Hua has an illegitimate child?" People passing by also heard it.

In another restaurant, many people were also whispering to each other.

"Hey, have you heard? Prime Minister Hua has an illegitimate child."

"No way, I heard that it was Madam Hua's maid who climbed into the bed and was kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Later, she had a child and shamelessly came to the door. But the child was grown up when he came back. It couldn't be Prime Minister Hua's."

"No, no, what I heard was that the child was Madam Hua's, and was stolen by a maid, and then brought back after being raised as a child."

"I heard that they are now living in the princess's mansion. This family is really weird."

The rumor became more and more outrageous, and by the time it reached Hua Xin's ears, there were already multiple versions.

"So what it means is that Yan Youzhi is my father's child, and my father had an affair with his wet nurse? Is it because my father has not remarried for many years that the beauty is by his side?"

Hua Xin looked at Nangong Ziqiu in surprise.

After seeing him nod, Hua Xin was speechless and said, "It's so wonderful, why don't they write a storybook?"

"Miss, as far as I know, the storybook has already been prepared." The speaker was Haruko.

Hua Xin usually doesn't restrict these maids, so they all have the opportunity to go out on the street. God knows how angry she was when she heard these nonsense for the first time.

Hua Xin was stunned. These rumors could not be groundless. Someone must be fanning the flames behind the scenes.

Otherwise, how could it be spreading throughout the streets and alleys in just a short while?

As a result, Daddy will not be able to go to court smoothly these days, and he may even have to depend on others for his performance.

Rumors among the people have spread to this extent, and I'm afraid they will be even worse in the court.

……

When Hua Yuxing stepped into the court today, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

He was keenly aware that the looks from people around him seemed a little strange, but he didn't pay much attention to it at first.

However, as time went on, this feeling became stronger.

Until today, someone in the court openly impeached him!

This sudden change shocked Hua Yuxing greatly.

What shocked him even more was that the impeachment accused him of having a corrupt style of work, not only keeping a mistress outside, but also having an illegitimate child! The person who impeached him was Li Guozheng, the Imperial Censor under the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

Faced with such nonsense, Hua Yuxing was furious and responded in court: "Hua has always been upright and has a clear conscience. How could I do such a dirty thing? How can I easily admit to such a false accusation?"

His voice was sonorous and powerful, full of indignation and unyielding spirit.

Li Guozheng did not flinch, staring at Hua Yuxing with a resolute gaze, and continued, "Prime Minister, according to rumors, someone once saw a maid from your mansion frequently entering and leaving the Prime Minister's mansion at night, and then moved to the princess's mansion together. More importantly, even your so-called 'illegitimate child' is now living in the princess's mansion. As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. If the matter had not been exposed, how could it be exposed by others?"

Hearing this, Hua Yuxing suddenly felt that the situation was not good.

He wondered to himself, why have all kinds of rumors started to spread since Yan Youzhi entered the mansion?

Is there really any connection between them?

At this moment, he couldn't help but look at Ye Qingyao standing beside him. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but in the end he chose to remain silent.

After all, no matter how many words you say now, it would be difficult to prove your innocence. Only by waiting for the truth to come out can you avenge yourself.

Li Guozheng wanted to say something but was interrupted by Ye Qingyao.

"Well, we asked you to come to court to discuss state affairs. When did you bring your personal affairs to the table? Also, Li Guozheng, I remember you took a concubine not long ago. Could it be that the woman was not willing and you robbed her?"

"I am terrified, Your Majesty. The concubine is my cousin from the countryside, not someone she abducted." Li Guozheng had no idea that the matter about Hua Yuxing would suddenly be linked to him.

They all say that the Emperor favors Prime Minister Hua. It’s true. There’s no way to defeat him. There’s no way to defeat him!

After the court session, Hua Yuxing followed Ye Qingyao to the Taiji Palace.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Ye Qingyao sat upright in the palace, staring at the person in front of him with a serious expression.

Rather than making guesses, it would be more appropriate to directly ask the protagonist of the incident.

Hua Yuxing showed a look of bewilderment on his face, as if he was confused about what had happened.

Even if I have something in mind, I don’t know how to express it.

Facing Ye Qingyao's questioning, he seemed a little uneasy.

“Is there really another hidden story behind this?” Ye Qingyao’s heart sank suddenly. Could it be that he really had guessed it?

After hesitating for a moment, Hua Yuxing finally said slowly: "I really don't know where to start."

Hua Yuxing looked at Ye Qingyao and saw that he was clearly waiting for the next words, so he said, "Your Majesty must have seen that maid before. She is Wanqing's personal maid who came with her as a dowry. Her surname is Yan, and Wanqing calls her Shutong."

"Shu...Tong?"

Ye Qingyao frowned slightly, trying hard to recall the name.
