Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

Early the next morning

In front of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, someone was shouting that he had an affair with the girl from the Xi family, and they even had the girl's underwear as evidence.

Moreover, this rumor, like smog, spread throughout the capital in an instant.

He immediately redirected his insulting remarks to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Zhenguogongfu

Xiling'er went to see her brother in the morning. Her brother was beaten so badly that he might not be able to stand up in the future.

The old lady was so sad that she fainted.

The imperial physician came and prescribed medicine, and Xiling'er went to boil the medicine for the old lady.

But the medicine has only been boiled halfway.

Her maid Haitang came over in a hurry.

"Miss, something happened, something serious happened."

Seeing her panic and inappropriate behavior, Xi Ling'er frowned slightly and said:

"What's the rush?"

Haitang said, "Miss, something big happened outside."

Xiling'er looked at the medicinal food in front of her. The steam was rising, but she was still fanning it intermittently, as if whatever big thing happened outside had nothing to do with her.

"Miss, there are rumors out there that you had an affair with someone and even gave him all your underwear."

"Nonsense."

Haitang was extremely anxious when she saw that her master was indifferent.

"Girl, it's true."

"How dare you! What is true? Don't you know whether this lady has been secretly giving gifts to others recently?"

Haitang quickly shook her head.

"I know that you are not like the two girls from the Wen family who secretly give things to others and are not chaste. I know all this. But, my lady, someone is slandering you outside."

"..."

"They're saying it with all sorts of truth. They say you've been exchanging letters with someone, and the letters are all over the place. They also say you've already had an affair with that person... and the handwriting on the letters is exactly the same as yours. Miss, please think of a solution quickly."

At this moment, the medicine jar suddenly made a squeaking sound.

Xiling'er reached out to touch it, but forgot that the medicine jar was very hot because it had been burned by fire.

what

Xiling'er's delicate hand slowly retracted.

But blisters appeared on my fingers instantly.

The maidservant serving nearby quickly put something under the table and opened the lid of the porcelain jar.

Xiling'er had no time to care about the pain in her hand.

"Haitang, Dad will take care of this matter."

Haitang said, "Miss, gossip can melt gold. If you deal with it too late, I'm afraid the whole city will be in an uproar. How will you be able to marry a good family then?"

Xi Ling'er asked again: "Who did you hear that from?"

"Didn't you tell me to buy rose cakes today? I went out, and now everyone in the city is talking about you."

All over the city?

There was a hint of panic in Xiling'er's beautiful eyes.

"Do you know who it is?"

"Who else could it be? Yesterday, Master Tianyou slandered the princess, and today it must be her who slandered you."

Xiling'er stood up and told the maid to look after the medicine jar.

"I'm going to look for my father." Her voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that she was not indifferent.

The Duke of Zhenguo deliberately took leave and did not attend court today. He was at home caring for his son, but he was also paying close attention to the developments in the court.

Someone reported him in the court today, but the emperor ignored it.

Humph

The emperor didn't dare to do anything to him.

Humph, the emperor cannot ignore it. His son’s leg is broken, and the emperor must give him an explanation.

However, just when he was feeling complacent, the housekeeper Ximing came anxiously to report that something had happened outside.

He told his master what happened outside, and the Duke of Zhenguo was so angry that he almost fainted.

"Go, arrest those who insulted the young lady and beat them to death."

Ximing quickly explained, "Duke, you can't."

"Ximing, don't you know who is who? Don't forget, you are the steward of the Zhenguogong Mansion."

"My Lord, I will defend the Xi family and the young lady to the death. However, this incident was clearly intentional. If you kill those people, then our young master will surely not escape."

"What do you mean?"

"Those who slandered the young lady were clearly targeting the young master, hoping to anger you and make you do this..."

"You said that when someone slandered the young lady, you couldn't stand it and wanted to beat the person to death, but the young master slandered the princess, and the princess broke his two legs. This matter can be left unresolved?"

Xicheng finally understood that someone did it on purpose.

Xiling'er also arrived at this moment.

"Dad, this must have been done by Wen Xingchen."

Xicheng nodded, but felt extremely depressed.

"Ling'er, they are bastards."

Xi Ling'er said, "The princess has been committing crimes for a long time. Father, I'm afraid we can't seek justice for my brother."

"..."

"But there is still a long way to go, so please be patient, Daddy."

If Xicheng is determined to execute the rumormonger, then Xitianyou's insult to the princess cannot be dealt with casually.

But if Xicheng ignores it, her daughter will definitely be ruined.

By then, it would become a topic of conversation for others, and some hooligans would even blame it... Xiling'er would naturally not choose the latter.

She was selfish from beginning to end.

"Father, I want to go to the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion and seek peace with the princess. What do you think?"

"..."

Xiling'er still went.

Xiling'er went to find His Royal Highness Prince Jin.

Ningyuan Houfu

When Wen Xingchen heard that Xi Ling'er was coming, he seemed to have expected it.

There are so many rumors out there that she finds them unbelievable.

Of course she believed in Xiling'er. After all, she was proud and arrogant, and no one else would be in her eyes.

But I can't stand the rumors outside that are so real that they are false.

When the guard came to report, Wen Xingchen did not go to see him.

If Yingying goes back.

"The princess is not going to see the Xi family."

Wen Changsheng actually knew it when he came to the Xi family.

The Xi family has given in.

Wen Changsheng was displeased to see that she was still making trouble, and wanted to order Wen Ruyue to go back and call Wen Xingchen out.

Wen Ruyue came over from Xiling'er and kept staring at her, thinking of her past life. Xiao Sheng and Xiling'er were deeply in love and loving each other every day...

And for Xiao Sheng's favor, he had depended on her and begged for her...

And she tortured her, actually making her wait on them until bedtime...

"Ruyue, go ask your sister to come over and meet Miss Xi."

Wen Ruyue's eyes suddenly darkened. She said, "Dad, you beat me with twenty sticks yesterday, and now I'm still lying in bed."

"I……"

"You still don't allow me to call the imperial physician. I'm afraid my sister can't go out now."

When Wen Changsheng heard Wen Ruyue's words, he understood instantly.

When His Royal Highness Prince Jin heard that Wen Xingchen was beaten, he asked, "Marquis Changyuan, are you punishing your cousin?"

"Your Majesty, she is lawless and should be punished."

Xi Ling'er said, "I was foul-mouthed and insulted the princess. Please forgive me, my Lord, considering that I was young and had drunk too much, and therefore lost control of myself."

"How is your brother? What did the imperial physician say? Is he likely to recover?"

Mentioning her brother, Xi Ling'er was filled with sorrow and couldn't help but wipe away tears. She said, "He offended the princess, and the princess gave him two kicks. He deserved it."

His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin liked Xi Ling'er's ability to know the situation. After all, it was Xi Tianyou who spoke foul language in public.

"Miss Xi, please go back first. When the princess recovers from her injuries, I will definitely take her to the Xi family to apologize."

"I dare not. My little brother is young and ignorant. Please don't bother the princess to go there in person. The princess has been implicated because of my little brother. It is my Xi family's fault. Here is my Xi family's apology."

As he said that, he handed the thing over.

Wen Changsheng asked, "How can you accept a gift?"

Xi Ling'er said, "I want to apologize on behalf of my brother and the princess."
