Published at 13th of July 2023 10:52:56 AM
When Gu Jing left the palace to establish himself the emperor did not give him any spending money, so these days, he was relying on Qin Zhun's “filial piety” to maintain the mansion's expenses and these ten thousand taels of banknote was also from Qin Zhun “filial piety”.
At this time, Gu Jing's personal servant gave the banknote to Master Xu.
After that, Hu Mingke changed the decision and returned the geng tie to Li Jinzhu, while the bride price letter was sent to Jiangyu County to be filed by the local government.
The marriage contract between Xu's and Li's was dissolved. Master Xu hid the banknotes and took his wife and son happily out of the public hall.
Master Xu and Madam Zhang felt that their trip to the capital was not in vain only the fool Xu Jinpeng still do not know what was happening and called out “wife” at the top of his voice, so Madam Zhang to coax her son, took him into her arms and said, “Jinpeng, let's go back home! And when we get back, your mother and father will give you a wife, someone who is innocent and still has her chastity, this kind of spoilt girl is not…”
Madam Zhang babbled to comfort her foolish son while feeling refreshed.
Whilst Gu Jing's face looked like it was splashed with ink, looking extremely ugly.
He brushed his sleeve and said, “Let's go.”
Qin Xin huddled in her cloak and couldn't wait to get out of this place.
She could naturally feel Gu Jing's anger, but now that she had overcome the biggest crisis, she must quickly pacify Gu Jing. Gu Jing still has feelings for her, as long as she speaks softly, she could definitely coax him back.
The onlookers, on the other hand, there were some who were still a little unsatisfied while others began to gradually disperse.
“Madam Qin, you can't leave yet!” Hu Mingke spoke up and called out to Qin Xin, “There is another case here, and you are also a relevant person.”
Qin Xin slightly frowned.
Hu Mingke stated, “Child abduction case.”
Those onlookers who were planning to leave immediately stopped and went into a frenzy once again, thinking that today's drama was really one play after another.
“……” Gu Jing also wrinkled his brows.
Qin Xin subconsciously pulled Gu Jing in panic and anxiety, afraid that Gu Jing would leave her behind.
This action was done unintentionally but to Gu Jing, Qin Xin was threatening him again.
Gu Jing stood with his hands behind him and stayed. With him around, Qin Xin felt as if she had some support and leaned against him again.
Hu Mingke once again knocked the gavel and continued the trial. “Li Jinzhu, since Li Erya is the eldest daughter of you and your wife, how did she end up with the Marquis, did the Marquis abduct your child?”
Qin Zhun: “?”
Qin Xin: “?”
Both Qin Zhun and Qin Xin thought that the magistrate was going to investigate the abduction of Qin Jiu by the Li's, but it seems that he was actually trying to question the marquis himself!
Hu Mingke naturally could see the shock on Qin Zhun's face and the others, but he still put on a dignified appearance.
He was given an oral order by the emperor to rectify the name of the girls in the Qin family and return them to their respective positions.
The emperor also asked him to interrogate the people involved as he wanted but he mustn't bring the third Miss into it.
Hu Mingke was a smart person, and he knew that the emperor doesn't want the third Miss Qin to be chewed by those people who only know how to talk badly!
Now, on one hand, he could only start with Qin Xing and the Marquis.
Qin Zhun turned paled with fright, and hurriedly said, “Lord Hu, how could this marquis abduct Qin Xin!”
Hu Mingke stated again, “According to the household register, Li Erya, who changed her name to Qin Xin, is under the marquis and marquis' wife household registration and is your first daughter, but just now Li Jinzhu clearly said Qin Xin is the eldest daughter of the Li family.”
“Why would the eldest daughter of this Li family recognize the marquis as her father?!”
Following Hu Mingke's words, the onlookers started to make up big drama scripts in their heads;
Such as, in order to curry favor with the second prince, the marquis searched for women everywhere and did not hesitate to abduct Li Erya, who was already betrothed to someone else;
Or, Li Erya had an affair with the second prince for a long time, but since it was impossible to be with the second prince because of her humble status, so to become the second prince's concubine she entered the Marquis mansion.
Qin Zhun: “!”
Qin Zhun's first instinct was, to tell the truth about the fake and real daughter but when the words came to his lips, Hu Mingke stated again, “Marquis, if you don't give an explanation today, you will be defrauding the marriage at least, or deceiving the emperor at worst! Marquis, you must think carefully!”
Deceiving the emperor!! Qin Zhun's heart skipped a beat as he swallowed those words hesitantly, his eyes flickered.
Fourteen years ago, the late emperor ordered the Qin family to be exiled to Minzhou, but the Qin family violated the order and handed over the newly born Qin Jiu to the nanny, Zhao Aman. Strictly speaking, this was a rebellion against the order.
Even if the Qin family's injustice was cleared up later on, it does not mean that what the Qin family did was right, and frankly, it was a crime of deceiving the emperor.
Though the emperor and the empress know about it, it's not something that could be said in the open ah!
This information could be used against the Qin family.
At this time, Qin Zhun really resented his father and brother, if it wasn't for their selfishness, why would he be in this mess.
