next day

The sky is cloudy and a bit colder than usual.

King Runan was standing outside the house, one hand on his hip, teasing the birds in the sky, looking very interested.

"My lord, something happened!"

The housekeeper rushed into the yard with hurried steps and staggered.

King Runan frowned, and his originally good mood suddenly cooled down, "What are you talking about in this clear blue sky?"

The housekeeper swallowed hard and turned pale, "Your Majesty, Lang Supervisor City would like to ask you to go to the government office. Minister Shen and Marquis Yongcheng have sued you one after another!"

"What..." King Runan was stunned, and the grass roots he held fell to the ground. The sound of birdsong rang in his ears, but he no longer had any intention of joking, "How dare they!"

The butler shook his head, looking uneasy, "Your Majesty..."

King Runan clenched his back teeth, suppressed the anger in his heart, and whispered, "I want to go and see what they want to do!"

By the time King Runan packed up and rushed to the government office, the plaintiff and the plaintiff had been waiting for a long time.

There were many people around, obviously they came over after hearing about the fun today.

King Runan stepped into the official palace despite the burning gazes of the people. As soon as he walked in, he met Fang Xu's smiling eyes.

Seeing it was her, King Runan clenched his fists and murmured, "Fang Xu..."

Fang Xu curled his lips, and the smile in his eyes deepened, "I haven't seen you for many days, and the prince's style remains the same. I don't think he has been affected by the second young master and the young lady."

"You... bitch!" King Runan was extremely angry, "You still dare to mention this matter to me?"

"quiet!"

The gavel fell heavily, and the prefect looked displeased, with a hint of warning in his tone, "The hall is solemn. Please control your temper, King Runan."

Fang Xu chuckled and reminded carefully, "If the prince wants to get angry, he has to look where he is."

King Runan was angry, but he couldn't let it out, and his face was livid with pain.

The magistrate looked at the people in the audience and thought they were as big as eight heads.

One is a celebrity in front of the imperial family, the other is the imperial concubine's concubine, and the other is a serious relative of the emperor.

Three giant Buddhas stood here, and for some reason he felt that the stool underneath was a little hot.

The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and it hurt wherever he hit them.

King Runan suppressed his anger and said in a cold tone, "Master Liu sent Lang Jianshi to come to my house early in the morning to pick up people. I have doubts in my heart, and I want to ask, what have I done to cause such a mobilization of troops?"

"This..." Magistrate Liu paused, his eyes wandering between Shen Ji and Fang Xu.

Sensing Magistrate Liu's embarrassment, Fang Xu took over the conversation and asked with a smile, "Is the prince a noble person who forgets things too much, or has done too many bad things, and can't remember which one?"

"Stop spitting here!" As soon as King Runan saw Fang Xu, he couldn't suppress his temper and shouted loudly, "Do you have the guts to tell others what I did?"

He was making a bet, and the bettor Xu took the word chastity into consideration and would not talk about it openly.

"I didn't do the wrong thing, why don't I dare to tell the truth?" Fang Xu said quietly, seeing how determined he was, a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, "The prince ordered someone to fabricate lies to slander my daughter-in-law's reputation. I am unjustly accused of this matter. Did you?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar, and King Runan's eyes widened. Apparently, he did not expect that Fang Xu would really ignore his image, just to dismount himself. When the people's comments came to his ears, King Runan's expression changed and he hurriedly spoke, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's just nonsense. I didn't..."

It's a pity that before he finished speaking, Fang Xu took out a few pieces of paper, put his hands up, and said in a loud voice, "Mr. Liu, what I have in my hand is the physical evidence. It clearly states how King Runan Those who instigate others to spread rumors and cause trouble and throw dirty water on my palace."

"In addition, I also have witnesses. I have found the person who first broke the news. When he saw that the matter was exposed, he explained the process to me and volunteered to testify for the Marquis in order to seek a lighter sentence."

Those pieces of paper were presented by the officers and soldiers and placed separately in front of Magistrate Liu.

Magistrate Liu looked down, his expression getting worse and worse.

Fang Xu looked sideways at King Runan and said in a strange tone, "There are all the witnesses and material evidence, but does the prince still want to make sophistry?"

King Runan looked gloomy, with a trace of cruelty flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I definitely don't know about this, it's you who deliberately slandered me."

"This is really a big joke." Fang Xu chuckled and shook his head helplessly, "I have never met the prince, how could I deliberately target him?"

"You're talking nonsense, before..."

Just as King Runan was about to refute her words, he suddenly stopped talking and met Fang Xu's eyes, seeing the sarcasm in her eyes.

He originally wanted to shake off the fact that Yongcheng Houfu planned to destroy Yuanning, but suddenly he remembered that he was not justified in this matter. Not only would he not be able to get back the situation, but he would also be very likely to be turned over by Fang Xu.

Fang Xu stared at him with interest, looking calm and relaxed, not at all afraid of what he would say.

King Runan clenched his molars, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the person who was worried about his reputation and dared to be angry but dared not speak out would be himself.

"All this is a trap set by you." King Runan looked at Fang Xu and said in a sinister way, "You don't care about Liu's name, but you want to fight me to the death. If she knows, his mother-in-law is so cruel. People must also feel aggrieved.”

Fang Xu found it funny and looked at him with eyes full of pity, "Your Highness, there is no need to use Sanskrit music to pressure me. The reason why I am standing here is because I have asked her."

"A woman's chastity is never under the skirt. The prince wants to use his reputation to suppress others, but he is afraid that he has chosen the wrong opponent." Fang Xu smiled and said softly, "Just because she is a woman, does she deserve to be drowned in spittle? "

"The prince's youngest son has evil intentions towards my little girl, and is still walking around the streets alive and kicking. After so many days, no one has seen Aunt Fan again."

Fang Xu curled his lips and looked at him, "Everyone knows how the prince solved the problem."

As soon as that matter was mentioned, King Runan's heart became even more angry, but he did not dare to explode.

He knew that Fang Xu was deliberately irritating him. Now he turned against her and was forced to speak indiscriminately. She was afraid that it would be worse.

"Your Majesty." Magistrate Liu raised his head with a worried expression, "The evidence given by Madam Hou is sufficient, do you have anything else to say?"

King Runan lowered his head slightly, rolled his eyes, and had other ideas.

He was sure that his name was not mentioned on several pieces of paper. When contacting the person, it was negotiated by the housekeeper, and he never showed up.

Now that things have come to this, we can only divert trouble to the east.

"Lord Liu, I am probably clear about the whole story." King Runan cleared his throat and said seriously, "The Yongcheng Marquis has found Liu Kuaizui, the storyteller in the capital, to tarnish my Yaoer's reputation. I want to come and deal with it." It was the princess who loved her son so much that she did such a stupid thing."

"Please, Mr. Liu, since she is a woman who doesn't understand anything, please spare her once. From now on, I will definitely keep an eye on her."

King Runan sighed softly, his eyes falling on Fang Xu vaguely, "To put it into detail, it was Mrs. Yongchenghou who made the first move."
