Chapter 174 Cousin Has an Affair?

Before the new year's day, Lin Xingwei followed his mother into the palace to give the queen a gift, and had some tea with the prince and princess. Yuan Cheng's mother, Mrs. Yuan, came to the queen's palace to cry.

"My son originally disagreed with this marriage. It was the empress who said that Miss Su Ji is so wonderful, and that my son does not want to make progress. With Miss Su's suggestion, I will definitely shine in the family in the future!"

"The Su family postponed their engagement until the end of the year. My son was murdered during the engagement banquet!"

"Miss Su and her lover are having a tryst in my son's mourning hall! God! They can't wait for my son to be buried. If it doesn't mean that they murdered my son, it can't be justified!"

Madam Yuan beat her chest and stamped her feet.

Everyone in the hall was shocked!

Although Lin Xingwei had noticed something tricky early on, it was still a bit unbelievable to hear that Su Ji and his lover had a private meeting in front of Yuan Chengling.

Could it be that Mrs. Yuan is exaggerating the truth?

Madam Hou looked at her daughter and asked in a low voice, "You also know?"

Lin Xingwei lowered his voice and said: "I saw a man with a mottled silk ribbon in my cousin's room, but I don't know who it is."

"Then you didn't say it earlier!" Madam Hou said angrily in a low voice.

"My daughter guessed it too, it's just a thread, if my cousin says it belongs to my cousin, wouldn't it be something out of nothing!" Lin Xingwei murmured.

Madam Yuan knelt two steps forward, prostrating and prostrating: "Empress, Empress, you can't just cover up Su Ji just because she is your niece!"

After hearing this, the Queen couldn't hide the look in the sword man's eyes, "After all you said, I was wrong. Since you said that Su Ji has a lover, you can clarify who's name is!"

Madam Yuan hurriedly said: "It is Huo Shan, the son of Prime Minister Chief Shi Huoqiu!"

The eldest princess frowned, and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Yuan's funeral, there are so many guests who came to express their condolences. How can Mrs. Yuan be sure that Huo Shan is Ah Ji's lover? Maybe it's just a few words!"

Mrs. Yuan looked at the eldest princess, and said loudly and urgently: "My wife has seen it with her own eyes, can she still wrong someone? Su Ji was absent-minded to guard my son's spirit, so Huo Shan came and borrowed paper money for my son, and the two whispered to each other. After saying something, Su Ji became more energetic, and if the old woman made a false statement, she would be struck by lightning!"

"The minister's wife asks the queen to strictly investigate Huo Shan and Su Ji!"

The prince sneered, with a slutty look, and chuckled lightly: "The maidservants in my palace were frowning when they were working. I went over and told them, you work hard, and I will tell the princess to give you a reward." Yin, those maidservants immediately burst into laughter."

"According to Mrs. Yuan, I also have feelings for those maidservants?"

"My wife dare not." Madam Yuan said timidly.

"That's right," the eldest princess also said, "If there is no real evidence, Madam Yuan should stop talking nonsense."

Madam Yuan swore: "Eldest princess, if the minister's wife is not sure, how dare she speak nonsense in front of the queen and the crown prince!"

The prince said: "Then call Huo Shan and A Ji into the palace to confront each other. If they really ask, they will be detained and investigated immediately. If this is a misunderstanding, Mrs. Yuan, this crime of slander..."

"Your wife will bear it on her own!" Mrs. Yuan said sonorously.

"Okay," the queen said loudly: "Then I will send someone to invite both A Ji and Mr. Huo's family. Confront each other in court and explain the matter clearly."

The servants and maidservants in the Queen's Palace moved quickly, and within half an hour of coming and going, Su Ji and Huo Shan were called into the palace, and Aunt Su came with them.

As soon as Su Ji entered the door, she was slapped loudly by Madam Yuan.

"What are you doing!" Aunt Su hugged the stunned Su Ji and scolded Madam Yuan angrily.

"Your Su family's good upbringing! Before the unmarried man was buried, this bitch had a private meeting with the Huo family's son in my son's mourning hall. He didn't know how to behave! Could it be that this pair of dogs murdered my son?"

"Snapped!"

The Queen made a long case and reprimanded loudly: "Madam Yuan, be careful! How can you tell nonsense without evidence!"

After Huo Shan saluted all the nobles in the hall, he cupped his hands calmly and said: "That day I went to the mourning hall to mourn Mr. Yuan, and saw that Miss Su was crying sadly, and I saw that Miss Su was pitiful, so I said a few words of comfort. , how could Mrs. Yuan frame me and Miss Su?"

"Empress, Empress," Madam Yuan knelt down with a plop, and said in a hurry: "They will definitely deny the confrontation in court, but what my wife said is the truth. The two of them must have murdered my son! Please The queen is in charge of my son!"

The eldest princess curled her lips, glared at Mrs. Yuan, and said, "Mrs. Yuan, don't make false accusations! The murderer committed the crime that day, and all the guests in the hall are witnesses. Strict investigation, wait for a few days, the murderer will soon be revealed, Madam Yuan, don't bite people here!"

Su Ji couldn't help sobbing, Aunt Su hugged her daughter distressedly, and argued: "The murderer killed the future son-in-law of our Su family, and our Su family is also a victim."

"Since the incident, Master Taifu has cooperated with the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Tingwei Mansion to investigate the case and arrest the murderer. Aji, an unmarried daughter, has been guarding the spirit of Mr. Yuan. We, the Su family, have not done anything wrong to your Yuan family for asking your wife to slander you so much. ?”

Madam Yuan bit back, "You should stay here! If your Su family hadn't felt guilty, how could you have let an unmarried girl guard my son's spirit? How could Mrs. Su be so determined to catch the murderer?"

Aunt Su said solemnly: "Madam insists on misunderstanding my family's good intentions, and I have nothing to say. After today, my family will not go after Mr. Yuan's funeral. I will also discuss with the Tai Tuo to recall the Su family soldiers who cooperated with the investigation. Wei, just in case the Yuan family thinks my family is guilty of doing these things."

"Listen up, listen up!" Madam Yuan spat and spit, "My son just died, and they won't recognize our Yuan family as relatives! Empress, empress..."

Madam Yuan almost fainted.

The queen said: "Help Mrs. Yuan to the seat and sit down!"

The palace maid helped Madam Yuan to sit still, and she recovered after being fed the soup.

The queen looked at Aunt Su and said, "You go and sit down too, I have something to ask Ah Ji and Mr. Huo."

Aunt Su let go of Su Ji and sat down on the seat.Su Ji and Huo Shan knelt in the center of the hall.

Su Ji is weak and helpless, and looks pitiful, while Huo Shan is upright and unafraid of rumors.

The queen asked slowly: "I asked you, Madam Yuan said that the two of you are in love, but it is true, you answer truthfully, if there is adulteration, I will not let you go."

Huo Shan first said: "The Empress, Your Highness the Crown Prince, the minister and Miss Su have met a few times at the invitation banquet before, and they are not familiar with each other, so what is the relationship?"

Su Ji calmed down, and said softly: "Since my daughter and Mr. Yuan discussed marriage, I have kept my duty, and I don't even say a word with the outsider. How can I have a relationship with Mr. Huo?"

"In the mourning hall that day, Mr. Huo saw that I was frightened and sad, so he whispered a few words of comfort. Mr. Huo did it out of sympathy for the survivor of my courtier's daughter, not personal affection!"

Mrs. Yuan supported the case with one hand, and said angrily: "You don't admit that I can't cure you now, so you will always be so magnanimous. Don't let the old woman catch you, otherwise the old woman will not let you go!"
