The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

Xie Ci'an put down the testimony in his hand and cast a cold gaze on Wen. "Wen, do you know this person?"

Wen was an honest person. She didn't dare to look up at Xie Ci'an. She just glanced at Guo Zirui and immediately shook her head, "I don't know him."

Before Xie Ci'an and Dou Wen could ask any questions, Master Wu on the side immediately started jumping up and down, accusing them, "I don't know how the two of you ended up in bed, you shameless adulterer and whore."

Mrs. Wen's eyes were red as she shook her head, trying to explain to her husband, "It's not like that. I don't know what happened at the time. I just felt a little unwell, so I went to sleep. When I woke up, I found a strange man lying next to me. As for what happened, I really don't know. Husband, you just don't believe me."

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I trust my own eyes more." Master Wu shook off Wen's arm in disgust.

In an instant, Wen's tears began to fall.

[The scumbag is desperate. ]

[Ahhhhh, my goodness, I've eaten many kinds of melons, but I've never eaten a melon as frivolous as this one.]

[Ms. Wen was the wife that Wu's parents arranged for him to marry. When she first married him, she was stunningly beautiful, and the two were quite affectionate. However, Wu was preoccupied with the imperial examinations. To fulfill his wishes, Ms. Wen took on the responsibilities of the family, helping to care for her parents while earning money to support the family. Her toiling day and night had led her to this state.]

Master Wu had bad luck and failed the imperial examination twice. However, by chance, he became connected with the dean of Yousong Academy. With the help of the dean, Master Wu was able to enter Yousong Academy and become a teacher.

At this time, his parents and wife heard the news and came to the capital together. Not long after, his parents died. Master Wu grew tired of facing his increasingly aging wife every day, and gradually he completely ignored Wen. At the same time, he met a weak and delicate girl named Xiao Bailian outside. Xiao Bailian was the descendant of a criminal. Now she attached herself to Master Wu, simply to find a support to avoid being exiled to a brothel.

Master Wu spent all day focusing on his studies at the academy and never returned home. Mrs. Wen had no complaints and continued to help run the household. Unbeknownst to her, Master Wu was constantly visiting Xiao Bailian. Now that Xiao Bailian was pregnant, she whispered in Master Wu's ear, saying she didn't want his child to be born out of wedlock. Anyway, Master Wu didn't like having a shrewd wife at home. This persuaded Master Wu, and his dislike for Mrs. Wen grew even stronger.

Master Wu then began to think about getting rid of his wife.

Those women who selflessly devoted themselves to their husbands' imperial examinations all ended up with a miserable end. This fact proves that we shouldn't do things that move us to endless devotion for men.

Even if Mr. Dian didn't like his wife, he could have divorced her normally. There was no need to destroy her innocence. In this world where innocence is everything, Mr. Wu's behavior is tantamount to pushing his wife into the fire.

[My desire to torture someone to death has reached its peak.]

Xie Ci'an frowned.

Dou Wen and Minister Guo's hearts were beating fast when they saw this.

Minister Guo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to say a word.

Master Wu actually felt that divorcing his wife would be bad for his reputation.

"How dare you, a person worse than pigs and dogs, have such a reputation? If it weren't for Wen Shi working hard for you day and night and taking care of your mother, would you have had the chance to come to the capital and become a teacher at Yousong Academy? You might have ended up being nothing in the countryside."

[Is it true that once a man reaches a certain point, he will choose to abandon his wife and children?]

Gu Jianchu was so angry that he cursed in his heart, his fingers tightly gripping the teacup in his hand.

Xie Ci'an trembled and shook his head, no.

[He only cared about his own reputation and didn't even think about risking his wife's life for you.]

This scumbag and bitch should be thrown into a pig cage. Afraid that a divorce would affect his reputation and make him unable to stay at Yousong Academy, he came up with the idea of having his wife cheat on him.

Master Wu searched for a suitable candidate but couldn't find one. After all, the concubine was the daughter of a convicted official. Knowing Guo Zirui's bad reputation and his fondness for women, she told Master Wu about him.

Wu Fuzi thought about it and decided it was feasible, so he went to buy a secret hallucinogenic drug. This drug not only caused hallucinations, but also made people unable to remember anything afterwards.

[Holy crap, this medicine actually came from Zuiyilou. Could this Master Wu also be a spy from another country, or have some connection to a spy?]

Hearing this, Xie Ci'an frowned even more tightly, and his expression became extremely ugly.

A powerful pressure oppressed Dou Wen and others, making them afraid.

Dou Wen asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, it's hard to judge who is telling the truth on either side and whether they should be punished."

Xie Ci'an didn't say anything, and Dou Wen was too nervous to speak again.

[It's okay. He heard about this medicine from a colleague, so he went to the alley behind Zuiyi Building to buy it secretly.]

[An old man, after Zuiyilou was closed down, wanted to steal some things to sell, and accidentally discovered this secret medicine that had been overlooked by the Imperial City Bureau.]

We must find a way to remind the emperor.

Gu Jianchu was not too anxious.

She believed that with Xie Ci'an's ability, he should be able to guess that something was wrong.

When Dou Wen was trying to formulate his opinion, Xie Ci'an raised his hand to stop him from suggesting something. "Both Wen and Guo Zirui claim they know nothing. Is there a possibility these two are being plotted against?"

When Master Wu heard Xie Ci'an's words, his eyes suddenly narrowed and his body tensed up.

He didn't expect the emperor to think of this.

Dou Wen and Minister Guo who was attending the meeting did not expect this. After all, they knew Guo Zirui's reputation very well and had preconceived notions about many things.

Now that the emperor mentioned it this way, this possibility may have indeed been overlooked by them.

"Who would want to plot against the two of them?" Dou Wen still couldn't figure it out. After all, they were two people who had nothing to do with each other.

The murderer also used this to confuse the public. The identities of these two people were so different that no one would think someone would kill them both. In reality, Guo Zirui was just unlucky. He was so playful that he became a target.

The drug Master Wu had given to Madam Wen was inside the incense. Before leaving, Master Wu secretly lit the incense while Madam Wen wasn't paying attention. The fragrance wafted through the incense burner, and Madam Wen naturally fell for it. However, when Master Wu returned, he was so focused on catching the adulterer that he forgot to deal with the evidence in the incense burner. If we search it now, we should still be able to find evidence.

Guo Zirui was even more unlucky. Just after leaving the brothel, he ran into an elderly man who was trying to scam him. The man was lying on the ground, trying to extort money from him. It was a kindhearted young woman who came to his rescue. This kindhearted young woman was none other than Xiao Bailian, who had conspired with Master Wu to do this. Afterwards, to express his gratitude, Guo Zirui took Xiao Bailian out for tea. Xiao Bailian drugged Guo Zirui's tea, causing him to become somewhat confused and experience a fever. Xiao Bailian took advantage of this opportunity to bring Guo Zirui to Master Wu's home.
