I took over after the heroine of the abusive novel ran away
Chapter 23: Substitute Daughter (20)
Su Tingxue seemed relatively calm, kneeling upright on the ground, and arguing with reason and evidence.
"Concubine Yun, please don't lie. I don't know where you got the news from. But I can swear that there is nothing wrong between me and Master Xiao.
If there is any relationship, it is just a relative relationship. Prince Xiao married my sister, and Prince Xiao is my brother-in-law, that's all. Besides, whether it was the first time at the Princess's Villa or this time when I went to the temple to burn incense, the person I made an appointment with was my sister, Prince Xiao's wife.
Prince Xiao and my sister just have a deep affection for each other, and he came to pick her up after the show. My sister was always there when Prince Xiao and I were together.
The last time that Prince Xiao got injured while saving me was an accident. I am the princess and Prince Xiao's aunt. There were a lot of women in the family at that time, and it was natural for Prince Xiao to protect us out of manliness.
As for the kidnapping you mentioned, I was kidnapped at that time and my life was in danger. I was terrified. How could I do such a thing?
I know you are resentful that the prince chose me, but you can't slander me like this."
"My Lord, please believe me. I have never done anything to let you down."
Su Tingxue raised her eyes and looked at the King of Qin with tears in her eyes. Her stoic, aggrieved and pitiful appearance softened the King of Qin's heart a little. After all, he still liked Su Tingxue a little.
"I believe you." King Qin said softly.
Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, Concubine Yun was jealous and crazy. She shouted excitedly, "My Lord, you can't be fooled by her appearance. What I said is the truth."
Concubine Yun's eyes turned red with anger. She looked at Su Tingxue with hatred, wishing she could scratch her face. This bitch seduced the prince with this appearance. Originally, the position of Princess Qin belonged to her. Her aunt had already hinted to her that it was this bitch Su Tingxue who seduced her cousin and took away her position as princess.
The King of Qin looked at Concubine Yun with dissatisfaction, then glanced at Xiao Yuchen who was sitting in a wheelchair, frowned and said
"You said so much, but do you have any evidence?"
It was no use for Concubine Yun to keep pestering him like this. He wanted to see why she was so determined.
"Of course I have evidence." Concubine Yun glared at Su Tingxue viciously and ordered someone to bring the witness up.
Soon, a maid and a tall and strong man tied up by the guards were brought to the hall.
"Su Tingxue, do you know these two people?" Concubine Yun looked at Su Tingxue arrogantly.
Su Tingxue looked at the faces of the two people carefully and her heart skipped a beat. Looking at the two people, Su Tingxue knew that Concubine Yun came prepared.
Concubine Yun relied on the fact that she was the niece of Concubine Sheng and always thought that the Princess of Qin would be in her pocket. However, she did not expect that the Prince of Qin would later choose her to be his princess. She felt that she had snatched his position as princess and was always very jealous of her. After entering the palace, she repeatedly caused trouble.
However, Concubine Yun was not smart enough. She used a little trick to make the King of Qin ignore her.
I thought she hadn't caused any trouble during this period, but now I understand, she was planning something big.
Su Tingxue lowered her eyes, hiding the cruelty in them. It seemed that she was too kind to her. If she hadn't been concerned about the fact that she was the imperial concubine's niece, how could she have kept her until now and given her the opportunity to slander and attack her?
"This maid seems to be a servant in my courtyard before I got married. As for this person, if I remember correctly, he was one of the thieves who kidnapped me."
"I remember that group of people are still wanted. How come this person is in your hands? Could it be that it was Concubine Yun who kidnapped me?" Su Tingxue looked at Concubine Yun suspiciously and asked back.
"Don't slander me. If it was really me who did it, I wouldn't have brought him here in such a grand manner." Concubine Yun retorted immediately. It was a rare moment of cleverness for her.
"This man was stealing things from my farm outside the city. My servants caught him accidentally. I wanted to send him to the government, but I didn't expect that during the interrogation, I discovered something shocking."
Concubine Yun twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at Su Tingxue with contempt. She couldn't wait to see what would happen to Su Tingxue after being dealt with by the prince himself.
"You shall all tell what you know."
The maid looked at Su Tingxue tremblingly and said in a trembling voice
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, before my young lady got married, she often interacted with Prince Xiao. They were close friends and had already decided to spend their lives together. However, Prince Xiao proposed to her several times, but my young lady was vague and did not agree. Later, for some reason, my young lady participated in the selection and became the princess."
Su Tingxue said: "Humph, you are just talking nonsense. If I really have a close relationship with Master Xiao, then why isn't there any rumor outside?
If I remember correctly, you are just a third-class maid in my courtyard. How can you know so much about my affairs? Who asked you to say that? "
"I dare not lie. I have the letters between Prince Xiao and the princess here."
As she spoke, the maid took out a few pieces of letter paper from her bosom and handed them to the King of Qin.
"Before the princess got married, she ordered Sister Chunman to burn a lot of letter paper. I happened to see it at that time. Sister Chunman left for something, and out of curiosity, I quietly kept a few pieces."
King Qin took the letter, glanced through it quickly, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.
Reading the affectionate words in the letter, King Qin's face turned a little ugly.
When Su Tingxue saw the maid take out the letter paper, she secretly cursed. She was angry that Chunman was careless and left such a hidden danger.
But at this moment, she would never admit it even if she was beaten to death.
Su Tingxue shook her head with a look of grievance and eagerly grasped King Qin's hand.
"Your Majesty, Prince, Mother, a random letter doesn't mean much. There are many people in this world who can copy other people's handwriting. I think it's not difficult for Concubine Yun to find someone to imitate the handwriting of Prince Xiao and forge a letter."
Su Tingxue remained calm and composed, not at all flustered. Compared to Concubine Yun's noisy expression, Su Tingxue's expression was obviously more convincing.
Su Lingyu watched silently from the side. This incident did not happen in the plot. After all, it was not Su Tingxue who was kidnapped.
But I have to say that Su Tingxue is still very capable. At least she can make a well-reasoned argument in this situation.
It seems that Concubine Yun is destined to be cannon fodder.
"The princess is really good at making sweet talk. You can deny it, but I'll see how you refute what happens next."
Concubine Yun didn't care about Su Tingxue's answer. She turned her head and looked at the sturdy man. This was her trump card.
"Tell me what you did to the princess after you kidnapped her that day?"
The strong man immediately shouted to the sky: "That day, our boss kidnapped the Princess of Qin and had evil intentions. He fed her an aphrodisiac, but before he could do anything, the princess was rescued. I don't know what happened after that. But the aphrodisiac is very potent and can only be relieved by sexual intercourse between a man and a woman. Otherwise, the body will explode and die. Your Majesty, please spare me, I am just a small soldier and I didn't follow those people!"
"I remember that it was already the evening of the second day when the princess came back. She was fine when she came back. You were hiding with Prince Xiao the whole time when you were abducted by the kidnappers. Since the kidnappers fed you aphrodisiac, how did you deal with it? Since you were fine later, I guess the prince helped you to get rid of the effect of the drug!"
Concubine Yun's eyes moved back and forth between Xiao Yuchen and Su Tingxue, and her meaning was very clear.
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent, and the King of Qin looked at Xiao Yuchen suspiciously.
Su Tingxue's face flushed with anger, and she looked at Concubine Yun with shame and anger, "You are talking nonsense, I have never been poisoned."
Xiao Yuchen's face turned even darker. Now that it had come to this, he had no choice but to explain.
"Your Majesty, since this thief is from the same group that kidnapped the princess, they originally wanted to harm her, so his words cannot be trusted. When I rescued the princess that day, there was nothing wrong with her. During the period of hiding from the thieves, we also restrained ourselves and observed the etiquette and did not do anything out of the ordinary. Besides, the princess is my wife's sister, who is also my aunt. My wife and I have a deep relationship. How could I do such a thing to the princess?"
"Prince Xiao likes the princess and will defend her, but the facts are like this, and heaven and earth can bear witness to it. It was such a coincidence that the princess was pregnant, and it is a fact that she stayed with you for a day and a night. Who can prove your innocence?" Concubine Yun said relentlessly.
