Chapter 172 How to break the situation?

On the street not far away.

Song Shiwei sat in the carriage and listened to the people's indignant shouts.

I believe that it won’t be long before everyone in the capital will know about Miss Wen’s affair with Shen Linchuan.

The face that the Duke of Zhenguo wants to preserve will eventually become a laughing stock in the entire capital.

Xiao Jingheng said: "Qingqing's idea is still the best."

If it were him, he might wait until the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was overthrown before seeking justice for the people who died unjustly.

However, Qingqing’s main point is to take revenge immediately.

Although he knew very well that relying on Xiaotao's testimony might not result in the death penalty for the Duke of Zhenguo and the Crown Prince.

But the power of rumors can cause them to suffer serious injuries and become overwhelmed.

Song Shiwei asked him: "Will my doing this alert the enemy and ruin your plan?"

"will not."

Xiao Jingheng said: "Xiao Tao's accusation against the prince will only make him more impatient, not to mention that I have prepared another gift for the Duke of Zhenguo."

Song Shiwei was a little surprised: "What have you prepared?"

Xiao Jingheng asked her: "Do you think the Duke of Zhenguo knows that Miss Wen's first man is actually the prince?"

Song Shiwei suddenly realized, yes, Qingge said that it was the room that the prince entered first.

In other words, he was the first person to break Wen Ruqing's body.

This must have been Shen Linchuan's idea. After all, it wasn't the first time he did such a disgusting thing.

Next, she will wait and see how they will break the deadlock.

Prince's Mansion.

Wei Yin knelt on the ground and was kicked hard in the chest. He fell to the ground but quickly got up and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. It was my fault."

The prince gnashed his teeth in anger and said, "Didn't you say that she would die if she fell off the cliff after being poisoned?

Why did she appear in the capital and file a complaint with the Dali Temple? Now everyone knows about it. Do you want to kill me?"

He had just returned home after settling Shen Linchuan down, and hadn't even had time to take a sip of tea when this happened.

The maid named Xiaotao filed a complaint in the street and exposed everything that happened in the Xishan Villa, which caused him a lot of trouble.

Wei Yin was also very scared after such a big mistake. He didn't expect that the woman was so lucky. Fortunately, she was dead.

He said, "As the saying goes, there is no evidence when there is death. We can pin the blame on her for the murder of Xishan Villa and say that she deliberately framed and slandered Miss Wen because she was jealous of her."

This was the only solution he could think of.

The prince rubbed his aching head. He had promised the Duke of Zhenguo that he would handle it cleanly, but now that such a big mess had occurred, the Duke of Zhenguo would definitely not let it go.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the guards outside come in and report: "Your Highness, the Duke of Zhenguo is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tightly closed door was kicked open and the Duke of Zhenguo walked in with a murderous aura.

The prince was shocked and said hurriedly, "My Lord, it is because my subordinates are not doing their job well. I am..."

Before he could finish his words, the Duke of Zhenguo rushed over and slapped him hard in the face.

The prince staggered and almost lost his balance.

He reacted and looked at the Duke of Zhenguo in shock and asked, "How dare you hit me?"

The Duke of Zhenguo's face turned pale: "If I could, I really want to kill you!"

He gritted his teeth, grabbed the prince by the collar and asked him, "I have been very kind to you, why did you want to harm my Qing'er?"

Seeing this, Wei Yin hurried forward to stop him, but the Duke of Zhenguo shouted, "Get out!"

The prince knew that the Duke of Zhenguo didn't dare to attack him, so he gave Wei Yin a look and asked him to get out.

After the door was closed, he asked, "What are you doing?"

"doing what?"

The Duke of Zhenguo sneered, his face full of sorrow: "For so many years, I have treated you like my own son, supported you with all my heart, and helped you to secure the position of Crown Prince, but I didn't expect that this is how you repay me?

You gave my Qing'er to Shen Linchuan and let her be abused. I thought you were forced to accept his threats, but it turns out you were also involved."

He let go of the prince and took out a note written in blood and unfolded it in front of him and said, "Is what it says true?"

The prince looked at the eye-catching words on the note: "Last night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first broke Miss Wen's body, and then gave her to Shen Linchuan to play with."

The prince's eyes widened, his face a little panicked, he subconsciously shook his head and denied it: "This is not true, someone is trying to sow discord between us."

"is it?"

The Duke of Zhenguo snorted coldly: "I was originally wondering how could you allow Shen Linchuan to make such an excessive request given your arrogance?

After all, he stole your fiancée, and if the contents of the note are true, then it makes sense.

It was you who first took my Qing'er's body, and then gave her to Shen Linchuan. You are such a beast."

The prince argued, "My Lord, how could you believe such a ridiculous thing?

Even if I am willing, would Shen Linchuan be willing to use the woman I have used before?"

"enough!"

The Duke of Zhenguo shouted angrily, "You may have forgotten that Shen Linchuan asked his eldest brother to consummate the marriage on his wedding night, so do you think he would care?

All he wanted from the beginning to the end was power.

I was wrong. I thought you at least had a conscience and could treat my daughter well. I didn't expect you to do something worse than an animal.

Since you are so unkind to me, don't blame me for being unfair to you. Since I can help you get to this position, I can also pull you down. At worst, we will both die together!"

He snorted, turned around and was about to leave.

The prince was completely panicked, he quickly stopped the Duke of Zhenguo and said, "Duke, I was wrong.

I shouldn't have acted on my own. I should have discussed it with you before making a decision. For the sake of my mother, please let me off this time."

The Duke of Zhenguo had a cold face. He could not accept that the prince destroyed his daughter's innocence and then gave her to another man.

Think about all the scheming he has done in his life, but what did he get in the end?

He closed his eyes and swallowed the tears back into his stomach.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "Okay, I'll give you another chance.

That maid named Xiao Tao revealed the affair between Qing'er and Shen Linchuan. What are you going to do?"

The prince said: "Xiao Tao is dead, there is no evidence, all we need to do is pin the murder case in the other courtyard on her and say she deliberately slandered him.

Without evidence, no one dares to convict us."

The Duke of Zhenguo's face turned irritated, and he raised his hand and slapped her again: "I'm asking about Qing'er, do you want to force her to death by letting her bear the stigma of having an affair with someone?"

The prince covered his face with his hands, a murderous look flashed through his eyes. He gritted his teeth and endured the humiliation and said, "I wonder what countermeasures the Duke has?"

The Duke of Zhenguo said in a cold voice: "I want you to ask for Qing'er's hand in marriage in front of His Majesty to put an end to these rumors. As for Shen Linchuan, you can do whatever you want!

If anything happens to my Qing'er, your position as Crown Prince will be over."
