Yu Xingmian walked forward calmly until he reached Zhou Deyu's side.

Everyone's heartbeat skipped a beat.

Well-informed officials had already found out Yu Xingmian's background, and the minister who had a criminal record five years ago reached a consensus with just a glance -

If they cannot drive this person out of the court today, they will live in fear all day long!

Yu Xingmian almost faced the gazes of everyone in Chongyun Palace and said calmly, "Master Zhou."

Zhou Deyu snorted heavily and just responded to the greeting.

All his violations of the law occurred during the five years that Yu Xingmian was in prison, so he did not have much fear of this man at this time.

Yu Xingmian was not annoyed. He slowly and unhurriedly threw out the news he had prepared bit by bit. The first sentence alone made Zhou Deyu tremble subconsciously.

"Mr. Zhou has been an official in Beijing for ten years. Do you miss your wife who you left behind in Changxi Town?"

The blood color on Zhou Deyu's face immediately faded away.

What Yu Xingmian said was not the most fatal thing in his official career, but it was what he least wanted to expose to the public.

Ten years ago, he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination and ranked second. Just when he was in high spirits, he was noticed by the concubine's daughter of Pan Jifeng, who was a Hanlin scholar at the time. The Pan family sent someone to hint at their intention to recruit him as their son-in-law.

The Pan family was a third-rank official in Beijing, a height he would never be able to reach in his entire life.

How could he not grab the olive branch thrown by the superior? !

The only obstacle to this matter is his wife in his hometown who is not presentable enough.

But he believed that he had handled the matter perfectly that year, and even the people of the Pan family could not find any clues. How did Yu Xingmian know about it? !

The Pan family father and son looked at him angrily. Zhou Deyu's heart was beating fast, but he still pretended to be calm: "I, I and Zhao have already..."

"Has he already sent a divorce letter?" Yu Xingmian asked loudly, interrupting Zhou Deyu's words, "Or has he even sent two thugs with him?"

"And he also ordered that if your wife disobeys, they should take away your wife's clothes and spread rumors that she is having an affair?"

There was an uproar in the court.

Some ministers who could not hear the little guy's voice were facing such an exciting scene for the first time. They were breathing rapidly, worrying that the private affairs in their own houses would be ruthlessly revealed like today, but they also wanted to continue listening to the explosive news in their colleagues' homes.

At the same time, he made two disdainful "tsk" sounds.

Although they each have dark pasts that cannot be told to outsiders, at least they are not as cruel and insane as Zhou Deyu.

He actually thought of hiring thugs to destroy the reputation of the original wife.

And the part that can be heard——

Jiao Hongmiao stood there for a long while, but he couldn't hold back his urge to watch the show. He glanced around and joined the group of people who were denouncing him. "I remember that not long after Zhou Deyu graduated from high school, he started going boating and watching lanterns with the little girl from Lord Pan's family. They were inseparable?"

Chu Jiaxu quickly glanced at the livid-faced Pan father and son, and whispered back, "That's right, Zhou Deyu even wrote a poem for Pan's daughter at the time, loudly claiming that this was the only love of his life!"

Although it was said to be in a low voice, the volume was loud enough for the ministers around to hear clearly.

Pan Jifeng, who was standing in front of the group, had no way to avoid it and heard all the discussions clearly.

People were so angry that their faces turned red.

Although Ruoxin was an insignificant concubine's daughter in his family, she represented the reputation of his Pan family after she got married. Now she was implicated by Zhou Deyu and was subject to comments from others. For him, this was simply a great shame and humiliation!

Pan Jifeng gritted his teeth, turned around and glared at Zhou Deyu, and began to think about how he could save his family's face.

As for Zhou Deyu's fate, it was not within his consideration.

Zhou Deyu, who was in the crowd, was so shocked by Yu Xingmian's words that he lost his composure. He could no longer hide his trembling body. "You, you have no evidence, yet you dare to frame the court official at will. Your Majesty, I beg you--"

"Oh, I forgot to mention..." Yu Xingmian said lazily, without any awareness of being in the upper echelons of the court, "The wife you abandoned was already several months pregnant at the time. Even though you were so unfaithful, she stubbornly kept the child."

At this point, Yu Xingmian turned around and smiled at Zhou Deyu sarcastically: "Do you think this child has something that can prove his identity?"

Zhou Deyu seemed to be strangled by someone and suddenly lost his voice.

The reason why he felt carefree all these years was because he heard that Zhao was depressed and passed away before he got married. But now someone told him that he still had an offspring?

"You, you..." Zhou Deyu had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, "Don't spit blood on me..."

The voice had long lost its previous momentum.

All the civil and military officials looked at him with disdain.

Yu Xingmian was forced to hide in the imperial prison because he knew too many secrets about other people. They subconsciously believed 70% of the gossip he told.

Now seeing Zhou Deyu's horrified expression, he believed it 100%.

Someone sneered out loud and finally said "Pah" loudly.

Just as Jiao Hongmiao was about to make a few more sarcastic remarks, he heard the little fellow on the golden platform scream "Wow!"

He paused for a moment, then turned back calmly, ready to continue eating the melon.

[Cheng Cheng asked how Uncle Yu knew so much, it turned out that Mr. Zhou’s son was in his Mo Yu Sect! ]

[Your only son was raised by others. It would be fine if you didn’t kowtow to Uncle Yu on the spot, but you want to drive Uncle Yu away?! ]

The little guy smacked his lips, looked around the table, picked up a cookie and took a bite: [Hehehe, the cookie is so delicious~]

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty said: "???"

Eat some cookies halfway through eating melon?

How will these old guys, who are eager to know what will happen next, survive?

What does "only son" mean? They clearly remember that Zhou Deyu and his wife Pan had two sons and two daughters, which could be considered a complete family with both sons and daughters!

Why don’t you let them finish the melon first and then eat the cookies!

Jiang Yingcheng had no idea of ​​the psychological activities of the ministers below. She happily finished a whole piece of biscuit before starting her melon-eating business.

[This Pan girl is also a strange person. She has four children and four fathers, but none of them is Zhou Deyu's. She can be considered as helping Aunt Zhao to avenge her! ]

Ministers: Wow——

Although they had guessed it based on the little guy's voice, they were still shocked when they heard it with their own ears.

His own son was living away from home, and none of the pampered children at home were his own? !

Wow, wow!

【ah! ! 】

The little guy suddenly cried out in his heart, which successfully made the eyes of the ministers sparkle again.

What big news have you uncovered?!

[That's right!] Jiang Yingcheng's eyes sparkled, [Chengcheng has successfully bribed Uncle Yu, so from now on, all the revelations given by Brother Tong can be said to be told by Uncle Yu to Chengcheng!]

[Wow! ! Then Chengcheng can say whatever he wants about Zhou Deyu embezzling people's property and hiring killers! ! ]

Jiang Yingcheng felt that he had found the perfect excuse, and he became visibly happy. He did not notice at all the sudden change of expression on Yu Xingmian's face under the golden stage.

The gentle smile that Yu Xingmian had on his face since he stood in the center of the court finally cracked.
