After tearing up the script of the vicious female supporting role, I cleaned up the Xiangfu every da

For officials, face is very important.

If a family member were to go to court and be involved in such a disgraceful case, it would be a stain on the family.

What's more, this is the family affair of the prime minister of the current dynasty. How many people in the court dare to openly oppose the Jiang family?

So when people from the Dali Temple came and said they wanted to bring witnesses to court, everyone immediately made excuses and said they knew nothing.

The officers and soldiers of the Dali Temple were, after all, just a group of petty officials, and they did not dare to offend these officials at all.

Just when they were in trouble, news came that Master Pei was testifying for Miss Jiang, and even people from the Master's Mansion came to help "invite" these witnesses.

Compared to Prime Minister Jiang, everyone was more reluctant to offend Master Pei, so they could only follow him obediently to the Dali Temple to testify.

Father Zhao acted quickly. He interrogated every witness as soon as they arrived. By the time all the witnesses arrived, all their testimonies had been collected.

Without exception, the person they saw in their testimonies who was with Young Master Sun was Miss Jiang Zihan, the second young lady of the Jiang family.

Now, everyone knew what the truth was.

However, the two parties involved, Sun Shuo and Jiang Zihan, have not arrived yet. Jiang Zihan is the future consort of the Seventh Prince, so it is naturally difficult for Zhao's father to directly announce the final result.

Apart from her "pitifully" complaint at the beginning, Jiang Wansang just sat by and watched the show, as if it had nothing to do with her.

As the plaintiff in court, Jiang Wansang was able to sit because Pei Zhanzhou had someone move a stool for him.

As someone who didn't have to perform formalities even when meeting the emperor, it was not worthy for Master Pei to stand in such a small court, let alone to show contempt for the court.

As for Jiang Wansang, Zhao's father simply pretended not to see it. With the support of Master Pei, the others naturally didn't dare to say anything more.

After all the witnesses had been examined, Jiang Wansang poked the person next to him and asked in a low voice, "Is there any movement from Su Huanyu?"

If something happens to the heroine, the hero will definitely not be idle.

I just don’t know if Su Huanyu can endure such a huge cuckold on his head.

Although Pei Zhanzhou had been in court all the time, he still knew the news outside clearly.

"He went to the Jiang family as soon as he received the news. He is probably discussing countermeasures with Jiang Gaoyuan now."

Because their voices were low and the two of them were very close, to outsiders, the distance between them seemed a little ambiguous.

But everyone took one look and then looked away. No one dared to stand up and accuse them of overstepping the line. Instead, they began to re-examine their relationship.

Everyone in the imperial city knew that Master Pei treated Miss Jiang very differently. This "difference" was completely different from the feeling he had towards Miss Jiang II.

But everyone thought that it was because Miss Jiang saved Master Pei's life, but now seeing how the two of them get along, things are obviously not that simple.

If you think about it carefully, given Master Pei's status and position, it was just a life-saving favor, so why would he do so much for Miss Jiang?

Jiang Wansang didn't think about those romantic things at all. Her mind was full of thoughts about what Su Huanyu might have and how she should respond.

Pei Zhanzhou noticed those gazes, raised his eyes and glanced around inconspicuously, then calmly withdrew his gaze.

He seemed to notice nothing, and moved closer to Jiang Wansang, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

After half an hour, Sun Shuo finally arrived at the Dali Temple.

I don’t know if he was scared or tortured by Jiang Wansang a few days ago, but his face looked very pale and he was carried here by two servants.

Jiang Wansang was well aware of the severity of his attack at that time, and it was not as exaggerated as he acted.

He behaved like this at this time, either to take the opportunity to scam himself, or to make a choice that would be disadvantageous to Jiang Zihan.

The Sun family is obviously smart and knows how to choose between Prime Minister Jiang and Master Pei.

As soon as Sun Shuo was put down, the servant knelt on the ground and burst into tears, "Master Zhao, please help my young master!"

"My son was merely invited to the Prime Minister's wife's birthday banquet, but he was drugged and locked in his room for no apparent reason. When he woke up, he saw a group of ladies appear, accusing him of having an affair with the Second Miss Jiang."

"My young master is not an ignorant child. He knows exactly what he has done. He and the Second Miss Jiang are absolutely innocent."

"My young master doesn't know who framed him. He has suffered this unforeseen disaster and his reputation has been damaged. Lord Zhao, please help my young master!"

The servant had obviously been warned, and without saying a few words, he made the Sun family the victims in this incident.

He did not help the Jiang family continue to frame Jiang Wansang, and he specifically reminded himself and Jiang Zihan to be innocent, not to take sides and not to offend either side.

In this way, no matter who wins or loses in the end, the Sun family can stay out of it.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see the Sun family's subtle intentions, but Jiang Wansang, the plaintiff, did not pursue the matter, and without evidence, everyone could only know it in their hearts.

Jiang Wansang is certainly not someone who would show kindness easily. She would not pursue those who wanted to harm her even if her head was stuck in the door.

The reason why she chose not to pursue Sun Shuo now was because she knew Meng Lianshu would not let the Sun family off easily.

Sun Shuo did not stand up to speak for the Jiang family today, which proves that he did not know that Meng Lianshu had such evidence in his hand.

Given Meng Lianshu's personality, it is impossible for him not to use such a big secret of the Sun family.

The Sun family was able to climb to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and had the support of the Crown Prince behind them, so naturally they could not be easily controlled.

When the two families start scheming against each other, it will be really exciting!

Seeing Jiang Wansang's reaction, Zhao's father naturally followed the words of the Sun family's servant, took over the injustice of their young master, and sent someone to the prime minister's residence to urge him to do something.

After being urged two or three times, the Jiang family finally came to the Dali Temple reluctantly.

But it wasn't just Jiang Zihan who came, Meng Lianshu came as well.

Both of them were dressed in plain clothes, with no decorations on their heads except a hairpin for their hair.

Arriving at the court, before Zhao's father could even ask, Meng Lianshu suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to the people in the court, "Master Zhao, I plead guilty!"

Meng Lianshu's reaction stunned everyone, and Zhao's father was so shocked that he almost stood up from his chair. Fortunately, his years of experience in handling cases helped him calm down.

As the wife of the prime minister of the current dynasty, Meng Lianshu did not have to perform such a grand ceremony to anyone except the dignitaries in the palace.

She suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, saying she was confessing her guilt. People with quick thinking had already guessed what she was going to do.

As expected, Meng Lianshu loudly confessed her sins, "I was biased towards my own daughter. I was worried that Jiang Wansang would use their long-standing friendship to seduce the Seventh Prince, so I wanted to quickly find her a marriage."

"But Jiang Wansang relied on her status as Master Pei's savior and refused to obey anyone in the family. I was confused for a moment and committed such a mistake."
