Chapter 113: The Truth About That Night

Chun Xiang knelt on the ground and said, “This servant, Chun Xiang, is one of the Second Young Miss’s… personal maids in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. On the day of the Lantern Festival, the Second Young Miss asked this servant to invite the Eldest Young Miss to admire the lanterns at night.”
“Because the Crown Prince is going to choose a concubine on the 16th day of the first month, Second Young Miss knows that His Highness the Crown Prince is very fond of Eldest Young Miss, so she thought of a vicious plan. As long as the Eldest Young Miss lost her innocence, she would naturally lose the right to be the Crown Princess.”
“But the Second Young Miss still hasn’t vented her hatred enough. She thinks that only when the Eldest Young Miss dies will everything be over. Therefore, he secretly bribed many spectators and ordered them to come and catch the adulterers at the right time. This would attract a crowd of people to admire the lanterns and make Eldest Young Miss be criticized by everyone. Then, she could take advantage of the situation to put Eldest Young Miss in a pig cage and sink her into the pond, and inform the Grand Chancellor…”
“When we were admiring the lanterns, we passed by an alley and arranged for a hooligan to put a gunny sack on Eldest Young Miss and drag her into Huanghua Alley.”
“The drug that was given to Eldest Young Miss was given by Second Young Miss to this servant. The drug was taken from the National Medical Hall. This servant went to get it personally…”
Because Liu Fuyun had been staring at her gloomily, she had been trembling. When she said this, she was trembling so much that she could not speak.
If it was not for Liang Wei staring at Liu Fuyun to suppress the Grand Chancellor, Liu Fuyun would have gone forward to silence her!
At this moment, it was Liu Shimei’s turn.
Liu Shimei walked in from outside the door and asked as she walked, “Chun Xiang, the man Liu Yan’er originally found for me wasn’t Prince Dun Yu, right?”
Today, Liu Shimei was dressed up. Not only was her head full of pearls and jade, but her face was also covered in gorgeous makeup.
She walked in with a stern expression, carrying a domineering aura that Liu Fuyun had never seen before!
After entering, she knelt down and bowed to the Liang family.
However, the bow only brushed past Liu Fuyun.
When Chun Xiang saw her enter, she quickly kowtowed, “Replying to Eldest Young Miss, it’s not Prince Dun Yu, but the beggar at the entrance of the City God Temple named Scald San!”
Liu Shimei asked another question, “Then why was it me and King Dun Yu who were captured together?”
Chun Xiang shook her head. “I don’t know what went wrong. The Second Young Miss asked me why it was King Dun Yu. After all, I was the one who went to find Scald San! But something went wrong!”
“Where is Scald San?” Liang Wei was so angry that his beard was sticking up, and his expression was dark and ugly.
“Just outside,” Liang Xun replied.
“Bring him in!” he shouted at the door.
Scald San was a beggar and got his name because he had a scald on his forehead. He was the leader of all the beggars in the City God Temple area, and he was usually a very arrogant ruffian. However, after being caught by Liang Xun, he suffered a lot because of his dishonesty, so he cowered.
When they came in and saw so many high-ranking officials, their legs could not help but go weak.
“Kneel down!” Liang Xun shouted.
With such a baleful aura, how could Scald San dare to make a scene? He obediently knelt down.
Liu Shimei stood in the hall and looked down at him, asking, “Scald San? Do you recognize me?”
Scald San raised his head and glanced at her. His eyes were so green that they were shining. His eyeballs seemed to be glued to her body. “I recognize you! I recognized you! You are the Eldest Young Miss of the Liu family. I specially went to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence to see you!”
“Why did you go to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence to see me?” Liu Shimei asked again with a darkened face.
Scald San replied, “That’s naturally because someone said that they would give me a hundred taels of silver, but the prerequisite is that I have to stay in Huanghua Alley on the night of Lantern Festival. At that time, they will send Eldest Miss Liu over and let me… Let me…”
The beggar was used to seeing people’s expressions and had a strong sense of danger. With so many people glaring at him, he did not dare to stare at Liu Shimei. He did not dare to say those rude words.
“Let you do what?” Liu Shimei asked again.
She was a woman, yet she stood in front of so many men without showing any fear. In fact, she was as domineering as the men!
Everyone in the Liang family admired her attitude!
Scald San was also stunned by her and replied in a low voice, “Let me… F*ck you… Any way… Any way I want to f*ck you… As rough as I liked…”
As soon as he said this, Liang Wei smashed the small table beside him!
