Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

The emperor's eyes darkened after hearing this. He looked at Xie Wanying and asked, "Old Madam, do you have anything else to say?"

Xie Wanying's chest was already filled with anger when she heard this. "Lin Yuansheng, you're avoiding the important issues and not talking about any of the dirty things you did. Instead, you're making yourself out to be the victim. How shameless!

Where has the courage to kill us grandparents gone? You dare to lie in front of His Majesty, what else can't you do? "

"Xie Wanying, you forced me to do that!" Lin Yuansheng's eyes widened, his voice filled with anger and resentment:

"I have been in the Duke of Li's mansion for decades, working diligently for your Xie family and doing my best to manage the family business.

And now, you want to send me away with just a letter of divorce? What do you think of me, Lin Yuansheng? A tool that can be used at will, summoned and dismissed at will?

His eyes revealed deep disappointment and pain, as if being abandoned by his wife was unbearable for him.

Upon hearing this, the emperor and several ministers present felt that Xie Wanying had gone a bit too far.

Although Lin Yuansheng is not a good person, he has devoted so many years to the Xie family. Now that he is old, he wants to kick him out, which is indeed a bit too much.

"Just because you secretly keep a mistress, you covet my Xie family's property." Xie Jinglan couldn't bear it anymore and told him about his secret lover.

"Lin Yuansheng, the Lin Mansion at No. 12 Fenghuang Street in the northwest of the city is your other home, right? That woman gave birth to a son and a daughter for you. Am I right?"

"what?"

Everyone in the hall was shocked, their eyes all fixed on Lin Yuansheng, half believing and half doubting.

Even Xie Ruyan had an expression of disbelief.

how come?

My grandfather actually had a mistress?

In her previous life, she didn't even know about this until she died.

"Xie Jinglan, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Yuansheng panicked, then turned into anger, "Evil girl, there are so many people with the surname Lin in Shengjing, are they all related to this prince?

Xie Jinglan, no matter how much you hate me, he is still your grandfather. How can you use such a thing to slander me? "

"Not all of them are needed. The Lin Mansion at No. 12 Fenghuang Street in the northwest of the city will be enough." Xie Jinglan sneered.

Lin Yuansheng was too treacherous and cunning. He always did things so perfectly that if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes after his death, she would never have discovered this secret.

"Lin Yuansheng, do you think you can hide everything you've done and deceive your grandmother forever? Let me tell you, there's no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Even if you can't hide the truth, you can't hide the truth."

Lin Yuansheng's face was filled with shame and anger. He firmly denied it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not true. Xie Jinglan made it up out of thin air and slandered me."

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true. Please make your decision." Xie Jinglan insisted.

This time, she was determined to tear off Lin Yuansheng's hypocritical face and push him to the bottom, where he would never be able to recover in his life.

Prime Minister Lu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I believe Miss Xie would not make such a false claim. Since Lin Yuansheng denies it, why not call the Lin family here and have them perform a blood test to verify the authenticity of the relationship?"

"Lin Yuansheng, do you dare to let them come?" Xie Jinglan asked him coldly.

Blood test to identify kinship is unscientific, but as long as he dares to use blood test to identify kinship with the child born from an illegitimate wife, she will definitely make their blood mix together.

The emperor felt a headache coming on. He was the ruler of a country and was very busy with all kinds of affairs. It was the first time that someone came to him to investigate such dirty matters in the harem of a minister's family.

But since his mother was here, it seemed that she would definitely support Xie Wanying and Xie Jinglan, so he had to intervene.

"Eunuch Wang, pass on my order and call everyone from the Lin Mansion at No. 12 Fenghuang Street in the west of the city."

"As you wish." Eunuch Wang responded and was about to go out to find someone to convey the order.

"Eunuch Wang, you don't have to go." Lin Yuansheng called out to Eunuch Wang.

At this point, he had no choice but to admit that he had secretly kept a mistress, and said shamelessly:

"That's right. The woman I support is the Lin family on Fenghuang Street in the west of the city. Men are supposed to have three wives and six concubines. What's wrong with me supporting a mistress? I can't be a monk all my life for this woman, right?" He pointed at Xie Wanying.

Hearing this, no one understood what he meant.

What does it mean to be a monk for the rest of your life for Xie Wanying?

Xie Jinglan was also shocked. Could it be that her guess was true?

My father is really not Lin Yuansheng’s biological son.

Seeing everyone's surprised or puzzled looks, Lin Yuansheng suddenly laughed, "Hahaha..."

The Queen Mother looked at Xie Wanying and saw that her face was calm and her eyes were as still as an ancient well. She immediately guessed something in her mind.

After all, what happened back then caused quite a stir.

She looked at Xie Jinglan and her brother, her eyes flashing with surprise, and her heart suddenly became excited.

Could it be...

"Hahaha..." Lin Yuansheng laughed enough and then said angrily:

"You never imagined that, did you? Xie Wanying and I are actually just a couple in name only. I haven't even touched a single finger of hers."

"This..." There was an uproar in the hall, and everyone looked shocked.

He looked at Xie Wanying and then at Lin Yuansheng, his eyes full of gossip.

Since Lin Yuansheng never touched Xie Wanying, whose child was Xie Feng, the one she gave birth to?

So! Lin Yuansheng, with his green hair, endured humiliation and worked diligently in the Duke of Li's mansion for decades. It's not difficult to guess his purpose: naturally, it was for money and power.

This news was great for Xie Jinglan. Lin Yuansheng was not their biological grandfather, so she wouldn't have to worry about anything if she wanted to kill his family in the future.

The Queen Mother held Xie Wanying's hand and sighed softly with heartache and helplessness, "You..."

"Since you are only married in name only, and Lin Yuansheng is already married, I will grant Madam Xie's divorce conditions and remove Lin Yuansheng's title of Duke of Li."

The emperor sentenced them, "Lin Yuansheng, you must move out of Duke Li's mansion today."

"I obey your order." Lin Yuansheng kowtowed. The emperor had already stripped him of his title of Duke, so he could no longer call himself a subject.

He felt very unwilling and hated Xie Wanying and Xie Jinglan to the extreme.

He planned for decades, but in the end, everything was in vain.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xie Jinglan felt relieved.

No matter what, at least Lin Yuansheng's family was driven out of Duke Li's Mansion, and they could no longer use the name of the Xie family to bully others in Shengjing.

Wait until her power recovers, and then come back to avenge her past life.

She will not let anyone who has hurt her go.

Xie Ruyan stayed there, not expecting things to turn out like this.

Things were out of her control and were becoming increasingly unfavorable to her.

If she left the Duke of Li's Mansion, she would be just a commoner. Without the status of the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, it would be even more difficult for her to marry into Prince Mu's Mansion.

Although Beitang Hong would not despise her, as long as the old empress dowager and the queen were still alive, she might never be able to become the Princess of Mu.

No! The position of Princess Mu can only be hers.

There was a determination in her eyes.

As long as Beitang Hong has her in his heart, she will sit on it one day.

She not only wants to be the principal wife of King Mu, but also the queen, the most noble woman in the world. Anyone who dares to stand in her way will die.

If they had known that things would turn out like this, they should have gotten rid of these two troublemakers, Xie Jinglan and Xie Yunqing, sooner.

The emperor's gaze fell on Beitang Hong and Xie Jinglan, "As for Prince Mu and Miss Xie..."
