My husband married a concubine? I turned around and married the cold prince.

What he said was exactly the same as in his previous life, however, in the previous life, he said it in front of Xue Wanxian, this time, he said it in front of the emperor.

When Manager Zhang said this, he was still a little afraid and worried. After all, if the emperor really sent someone to investigate, the matter would be investigated thoroughly and he would be charged with deceiving the emperor.

However, before coming, Xue Wanxian had already told him that as long as he made these words clear in front of the emperor, he would take care of the rest.

As soon as Manager Zhang finished speaking, Manager Chen brought over the remaining account books they had prepared.

The maid continued to speak, first talking about how An Qingqian had abused Zhang over the years, and then how she had used despicable means to replace the loyal maids and servants in the mansion.

He also ordered that Zhang, who was old and frail, should not be given any meat or fish, but only some leftovers, porridge and cabbage.

Listening to these absurd yet familiar remarks, An Qingqian felt only hatred and sneer in his heart.

Seeing that they had said so much, An Qingqian remained silent. Steward Zhang, Steward Chen and the maid believed that An Qingqian was afraid, so they felt more confident.

After hearing these narrations, the emperor's face changed slightly. He looked at An Qingqian in surprise, but An Qingqian lowered her head. It was unknown what she was thinking, and her expression could not be seen clearly.

"An Qingqian, is what these people said true?" Seeing that she did not defend herself, the emperor took the initiative to ask.

"Your Majesty, I have never done anything like this. Since Lord Xue has so-called witnesses and evidence, please allow me to bring forward my witnesses and evidence as well."

"it is good."

The people in the palace quickly went to the Marquis' Mansion. Although Yingyi and Boyun had made preparations in advance, they still pretended to be prepared in front of the people in the palace.

The two men saluted the emperor and knelt on the ground respectfully.

The two did not say much, but presented the real account book.

The emperor casually flipped through two pages and instantly knew what was true and what was false. A sneer flashed across his eyes quickly and then disappeared.

He threw the account book directly in front of Xue Wanxian.

Xue Wanxian glanced at the emperor in confusion, then picked up the account book on the ground, took a closer look, and was shocked.

"This, this is impossible!" He remembered the contents of the account book very clearly. Even if he didn't understand them, the fake account book he had seen before seemed so ridiculous in front of the real account book.

"Your Majesty, as for abusing my mother-in-law, this is even more nonsense. My mother-in-law, Zhang, likes to eat meat and almost every meal requires greasy food.

Before, I just thought that my mother-in-law should eat whatever she liked, as it was rare for people to have their own preferences. However, later on, the doctor in the mansion told me many times that my mother-in-law was old and should eat less of these things, and also, her body shape was a little bit better than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, I followed the doctor's advice and temporarily stopped eating meat and switched to lighter food. However, I didn't know that my painstaking care for my mother-in-law was considered abuse by the Marquis.

Your Majesty, this matter is also easy to verify. Your Majesty can ask the doctors outside or the imperial physicians in the palace to check it out, and then they will know whether this minister is lying or not. "

An Qingqian's eyes were clear, without a trace of fear or guilt.

Things had developed to this point, and the emperor gave a look to the eunuch next to him.

Seeing that the emperor had sent people to verify, An Qingqian continued to speak. This time, there was a bit of grievance and moisture in her eyes.

It is somewhat different from its previous appearance, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable when looking at it.

"Your Majesty, as for the so-called affair he mentioned, I have no idea why he said that."

An Qingqian seemed to have suffered a great insult. She lowered her head, wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and pretended to be calm.

"Three years ago, he and I didn't even have time to greet each other before he rushed to the border. I knew he was doing this for the sake of national affairs, so I never complained and devoted myself to managing the affairs of the palace for him.

However, twenty days ago, he came back with a pregnant woman. This was nothing, as he had been at the border for three years and it was good to have someone caring and taking care of him.

I thought about discussing with him and making that woman a concubine in the palace, but who would have thought that he would actually ask me to go to the emperor and plead for the woman to be given the status of a co-wife.

As An Qingqian spoke, her voice was choked with sobs.

When the emperor heard this, his expression changed slightly and he glanced at Xue Wanxian with a stern look.

Xue Wanxian was so busy making a complaint that he forgot about this matter. When he heard An Qingqian mention the matter of having a concubine, he felt a little panicked.

After all, the emperor had specifically written in the imperial edict that he was not allowed to have a concubine.

"I didn't want to, but I didn't expect that he would bear a grudge against me because of this. Your Majesty, I really feel wronged.

A few days ago, he actually ordered his guards, along with some palace guards, to break into my courtyard and capture me.

After all, I am a woman, how could I let a man from another place enter the yard? During the argument, my maidservant took action.

Everything I have done for the Marquis's Mansion has traces to follow. As long as we ask someone to investigate, we will find out the truth. I would never dare to deceive Your Majesty.

I thought, this is probably why he hates me, but I don’t dare to believe it. He actually falsely accused me of having an affair, which is a great shame and humiliation for me.”

As An Qingqian spoke, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor.

The sound of the kowtow was particularly obvious in the silent imperial study, and it moved people. Even the eunuch Sheng, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, looked at An Qingqian twice with some reluctance.

An Qingqian raised her head again, and her originally fair forehead was red, even slightly broken, and some bright red blood was flowing out.

With her determined and unyielding eyes, the emperor seemed to see An Zhenyuan.

An Qingqian didn't necessarily want to hurt herself, but she felt that she needed to take a drastic measure. She wanted to try and see if she could get a divorce letter from the emperor because of this matter today.

Xue Wanxian even said that he wanted to divorce her, but An Qingqian knew that this would not be that easy.

To put it another way, even if he really did what Xue Wanxian said today, the emperor would never let him divorce his wife.

It’s not only because of the An family’s power, but more because of the emperor.

Every decision the emperor makes is carefully considered and is definitely not a random decision.

Therefore, she had long understood that it would be very difficult for her and Xue Wanxian to divorce, so she resorted to this desperate measure today.

However, she still couldn't be sure whether the emperor would agree.

"Xue Wanxian, you are so outrageous that you dare to tease me!" The emperor had a cold expression and looked at Xue Wanxian fiercely.
