"This..." The coroner hesitated, as if he wanted to hide something.

"Speak!" Chu Yuheng stared at him and exerted pressure.

The coroner panicked immediately. He knelt down hastily and explained, "Your Highness, spare my life. I am not a coroner. The real coroner is dead, and I was just dragged in to fill the gap."

Hearing this, Yu Wangfei realized that the death of Madam Gu was definitely not that simple. An old lady with no power or influence died, and the coroner also died soon after. Who could benefit from their deaths?

For a moment, Yu Wangfei couldn't think of who was behind this, but she felt that there must be something fishy about this matter.

"Wait for Liu Ruchu to come back first." Chu Yuheng whispered softly in Yu Wangfei's ear.

After all, Dali Temple is Liu Ruchu's territory. Although they are of noble status, they cannot always interfere, otherwise they will be suspected by everyone.

"Okay." Yu Wangfei nodded in agreement.

Since it was found that the housekeeper had nothing to do with the incident involving Mrs. Gu, he was also acquitted.

Just as they were leaving the Dali Temple, Madam Gu rushed over and blocked their way to the carriage. Seeing this, the people stopped to watch.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Go and have a look!"

In a short while, the Dali Temple was surrounded by crowds of people.

"Why did she come out?" Yu Wangfei asked curiously.

Wasn't Madam Gu imprisoned in the mansion? Why is she here? Is there a spy in the mansion or did Chu Yuheng release her?

Yunhua drew his sword and stood in front of Yu Wangfei, looking at everyone vigilantly. Gu Baili hurriedly pulled Yunhua behind him and blocked his sight with his body.

He knew since he was born that there was no good person in the Gu family. Later, when he met Yu Wangfei and Yun Hua, he thought he had completely gotten rid of the Gu family.

But what Gu Baili didn't expect was that the Gu family was as difficult to deal with as rats, and they would continue to pester him as long as they didn't die.

"Look everyone, it's her. She was the one who instructed the housekeeper in the mansion to piss off my mother-in-law to death!" Madam Gu pointed at Yu Wangfei and introduced her to the people, "The person they brought out from the Dali Temple is the housekeeper of the Yu Mansion. She is the real culprit who pissed off my mother-in-law to death!"

"You have such a cruel heart. The old lady was very kind to you when the princess was in the marquis's mansion. Why did you order your servants to make the old lady angry to death? She is your grandmother." Mrs. Gu started to throw a tantrum.

Originally, she was a girl from a scholarly family, and she had always maintained her dignified temperament after marrying Lord Gu, but now she could no longer maintain her previous temper.

She has experienced so much in the past year, and these experiences have turned her into a resentful woman.

If only she hadn't let Gu Baizhou marry Yu Wangfei back then, she would have blamed Yu Wangfei for everything that happened to her.

"Although you have divorced my son, you are the granddaughter-in-law of the Gu family after all. Why did you make your grandmother angry to death? Why did you send your husband to jail? Doesn't your conscience hurt?" Mrs. Gu became more and more excited as she spoke, and even burst into tears.

"I know that your status has changed now. You are Yueying's princess, the Ninth Prince's unmarried princess, but one should not forget one's roots. When you were in our mansion, you were never short of food, clothing, and daily expenses. How could you repay kindness with hatred like this!"

Someone in the crowd echoed, "I heard that the princess and the prince and Li Shi divorced because she cheated on the prince, and the prince wanted to take someone else's wife away, so he deliberately asked the emperor for permission to let Yu Wangfei and Gu Baizhou divorce."

"If that's the case, then they are an adulterous couple."

"Oh my god, this is the truth."

Madam Gu sat on the ground and continued to accuse: "I didn't want to say it before because I was afraid it would affect the princess's reputation, but you are so cruel. There are some things I must say to give justice to my Gu family."

"You all know that on the night of my son's wedding, the princess and the prince were together. Not only did they eat and live together, but the prince even threatened everyone in the mansion not to treat her with contempt." Madam Gu became more and more excited as she spoke. "If you don't believe me, just ask the maids and servants who served in the mansion before."

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up: "Yes, I am the maid in the Marquis' Mansion before. The prince often goes in and out of the princess's Fangfei Garden, and the princess has never consummated her marriage with the prince. Every time she is with, she is with the prince..."

As soon as these words were spoken, people began to talk about it. No one believed that Yu Wangfei, a genius doctor, and Chu Yuheng, a god of war, could do such a terrible thing.

"Everyone, shut up." Chu Yuheng raised his eyes and looked at everyone oppressively.

Yu Wangfei was worried that he would get angry and implicate others, so she hurriedly grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Who asked you to plot against me?" Yu Wangfei looked at Madam Gu, wishing she could hack her to death the next second.

"God is watching what you do. Yu Wangfei, you will not die a good death." Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth and stared at Yu Wangfei.

Without waiting for Madam Gu to say anything, Yu Wangfei slapped him directly: "Who did those dirty things? Do you need me to tell you one by one?"

"Who coveted my dowry the day after I entered the mansion?"

Because the dowry issue caused a big fuss, many people knew about it, and they were all wondering whether Yu Wangfei was really wronged.

"Bitch, how dare you hit me!"

"What kind of crime is it to curse the princess?" Yu Wangfei glanced at the soldier standing guard outside the Dali Temple.

Before the soldier could answer, Liu Ruchu suddenly stepped out from the crowd and said, "Give him fifty heavy punishments and put him in prison."

Seeing Liu Ruchu returning, Yu Wangfei breathed a sigh of relief. She knew Liu Ruchu's ability to solve cases and naturally believed that he would investigate the matter thoroughly.

"Come here, please bring Madam Gu in!" Liu Ruchu glanced at Madam Gu, then looked at the people, "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation within three days."

On the way here, he received a letter from the Dali Temple via carrier pigeon, so he understood the complexity of the case.

"Don't worry, everyone. I will definitely give you an explanation!" Chu Yuheng stepped forward to guarantee.

When the people saw that Liu Ruchu and Chu Yuheng had come forward to make guarantees, they complimented them a few words and left one after another.

At this time, the sky was slowly getting dark. After a brief exchange of a few words, the few people dispersed, planning to start investigating the matter again tomorrow.

The next day, Gu Baili and Yunhua went to the Dali Temple to help Liu Ruchu find out the cause of death of Old Madam Gu and why Gu Baizhou went to the Yu Mansion. Yu Wangfei and Chu Yuheng went to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

After what Mrs. Gu said yesterday, Yu Wangfei realized that someone already knew about her stay in the Gu family, and that Mrs. Gu and this person were planning to frame Yu Wangfei and Chu Yuheng.

If he wanted to dispel the rumors, it might implicate Chu Fei and the Imperial Concubine, so Chu Yuheng planned to ask Chu Fei for his opinion.
