With tears streaming down her face and covered in wounds, Mingji looked incredibly pitiful.

In the past, Puyang Xuan might have felt a little sympathy, but now that he is already taken, he naturally won't be so affectionate towards other women, especially one who wants to frame him!

"Mingji, I've already given you enough face, but you're the one who didn't want it! Don't blame me for being ruthless later!"

Mingji's heart skipped a beat. Her affair with Elder Lian had always been a secret. What evidence did the Palace Master possess? Why was he so adamant that the child wasn't his?!

Without substantial evidence, it cannot be admitted.

"Palace Master, the child is gone now, so whatever you say goes... Mingji is tired and doesn't want to argue anymore..."

"Ha~ You're acting all wronged?!"

Puyang Xuan was forced to learn about the concepts of "white lotus" and "green tea" when he was with Yang Jianwu, and the scene in front of him only made him feel disgusted.

"Yuan Song!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Go and invite all the elders here, especially Elder Lian! Even if he's sick, you must carry him over to me!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Elder Lian's name, Mingji felt a pang of panic. She crawled forward a few steps and prostrated herself at Puyang Xuan's feet. "Palace Master, did you summon all the elders here to show them how you kill your own child?"

Puyang Xuan kicked Mingji away, "Stay away from me, you're filthy!"

dirty? !

Mingji was completely thrown into a panic. The Palace Master must know something! No, this can't happen!

“Palace Master, since you have no interest in Mingji, there is no point in Mingji living. It would be better for us to part ways and make room for others than for her to be an eyesore to you…”

As Mingji spoke, she was about to crash into the pillar, but due to her weakness and injuries, her movements were extremely slow, and the force of the impact was minimal.

Pu Yangxuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Was this the legendary "one cry, two tantrums, three threats of suicide"?

Heh~ If Jianwu were to cry and make a fuss, he would feel sorry for her, but seeing Mingji acting so pretentious now, he only feels annoyed.

She dares to say she'll make room for Jianwu? Who does she think she is?! A lowly concubine who climbed up the ranks while he was drunk, with someone backing her up, she's forgotten her place!

Hmph~ He's really asking for it! The spot next to him was originally meant for Sword Dancer!

"enough!"

Puyang Xuan looked at Mingji with a half-smile, "Want to die? I'll grant your wish! I'll let you die knowing why!"

Mingji, having been reprimanded, stayed to the side, no longer daring to cause trouble. She could tell that the Palace Master was truly angry...

Even though the palace master had sent people to whip her before, she still held onto a sliver of hope. Now it seems that today's matter cannot be resolved peacefully.

Yuan Song led four old men into the hall. One of them had his pupils shrink when he saw Ming Ji, but quickly returned to normal.

"Greetings, Palace Master!"

Puyang Xuan waved his hand, signaling the four of them to stand up.

"sit down!"

"Thank you, Palace Master!"

"Yuan Song, bring the items and the people up!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Song went downstairs and returned to the palace with a maidservant, who was carrying a small bundle.

"Palace Master, we have brought the witnesses and physical evidence."

Mingji trembled slightly upon seeing the maid. Wasn't she dead?! How could she be here?!

Puyang Xuan nodded and pointed at the maid, saying, "Tell me everything you know!"

The maidservant suddenly knelt down in the hall and kowtowed. She was truly grateful to the palace master for saving her life; otherwise, she would have already been reincarnated.

"Yes, Palace Master..."

The maid's name was Ping'er, and she used to be Mingji's personal maid.

Once, when Puyangxuan left the Shamen, Elder Lian came to find Mingji that night, which Ping'er happened to see.

Seeing that Elder Lian hadn't come out for a long time, Ping'er wanted to bring the two some tea and snacks. No one answered the door when she knocked, so Ping'er pushed it open herself. To her surprise, she saw Elder Lian and Mingji naked and entangled on the bed.

Ping'er was terrified and screamed as she left the room.

Elder Lian, fearing that things would be exposed, put on a long robe and chased after her. Seeing that no one was around, he knocked Ping'er unconscious and threw her into the well.

Even the elders and Mingji thought Ping'er was dead. Now that Ping'er has exposed the truth, they refuse to admit it and insist that Ping'er has wronged them!

"Palace Master, you cannot believe this little girl's one-sided story! I have lived a life of integrity and honesty, and I will never allow anyone to slander me like this!"

The company commander's eyes were bloodshot with anger, and his tone was righteous and awe-inspiring, but Puyang didn't buy it at all.

"Yuan Song, bring up the physical evidence!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Song opened the bundle in his hand, and an undergarment appeared before everyone's eyes!

"this?!"

"Judging by the style, it looks like Elder Lian's!"

"It looks like it to me too; it seems to be something his wife sewed for him before she passed away..."

"Yes, how did they end up here?"

The other three elders whispered among themselves, and even the elder with good hearing overheard their conversation.

The undergarment was indeed sewn by his wife before her death, and it was given to him as a gift at his birthday banquet. Many people have seen it, so there is no way to deny it.

When he chased after Ping'er, he only wore a long robe and forgot his inner garment in Mingji's room. He clearly told Mingji to take care of it afterwards...

Elder Lian glanced at Mingji sideways and thought, "What a waste!"
