Chapter 172 Why Do I Feel Guilty?
Chapter 172 Why Do I Feel Guilty?
"Thank you, Madam." Seeing that Jiang Xiyu did not misunderstand him, Deji silently breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Zheng, and then stood up.
Jiang Xiyu looked at Zheng and said coldly, "I still say the same thing. If you have evidence, go to the Dali Temple and sue me. If you don't have evidence, apologize to me."
How could Zheng possibly apologize to Jiang Xiyu? She glared at the guards who had come with Deji, "You. What did Deji bring you to Jingyu Garden for last night? You came here to catch someone committing adultery."
The guards were also frightened by Zheng's words and hurriedly explained.
"We don't know, we're just patrolling as normal."
"Yes, we are here on patrol with Lord Deji."
"We didn't see anyone in Jingyuyuan. Old Madam, you really misunderstood."
Zheng had never expected that these guards, under the pressure of Jiang Xiyu, would actually help her lie. "You don't have to be afraid of her. Tell the truth honestly. I will take care of it for you."
The guards were completely confused and had no idea what Zheng wanted to hear.
Obviously nothing happened, so why did she insist on hearing them coming here to catch someone cheating?
Only the leader of the Golden Guards and the other Golden Guards knew about what happened to the masked man last night. Of course, Deji also knew about it. The guards who followed Deji were actually unaware of it because when Deji brought them there, the masked man had already been rescued, so they knew nothing about it.
If Zheng really wanted to hear something from these guards, she would probably be disappointed.
Sure enough, seeing that these guards refused to expose Jiang Xiyu, Zheng glared at Jiang Xiyu in frustration, "Jiang Xiyu, you are so good! Now that Rui'er is away and I'm injured in the leg, you have the upper hand in the mansion, right? Today I will pull out the adulterer in your room and show everyone what kind of person you are."
Zheng said as she waved her hand at the maids, "Go into the room and search it thoroughly."
"Yes."
The maids responded and immediately rushed to the room together.
"How dare you." Jiang Xiyu shouted angrily, blocking the door to the room, "I want to see who dares to enter my room today."
Deji also came over immediately with his guards and stood in front of the old women. "Madam is the mistress of a mansion. How dare you break into her room without permission? Are you crazy?"
Deji's angry shout frightened the old women.
In fact, they were all Xu Rui's people. On normal days, they would never dare to break into Jiang Xiyu's room. It was not that Zheng said Jiang Xiyu was cheating on her, but this was a big deal concerning Xu Rui, so they followed Zheng to Jiang Xiyu's yard.
Seeing the maids' hesitation, Lin Rouyu secretly cursed them for being useless. Then she said, "Since Sister keeps saying she's been wronged, why can't they go in and take a look? If there's no one in the house, wouldn't that prove Sister's innocence?"
As soon as Lin Rouyu opened her mouth, Jiang Xiyu shot her a sharp look, "When did it become your turn as a guest to interfere in the affairs of our Marquis' Mansion?"
Jiang Xiyu's words instantly made Lin Rouyu blush.
Seeing this, Zheng quickly chimed in, "Is there anything wrong with what Miss Lin said? If you're not feeling guilty, why don't you let us into your room?"
Jiang Xiyu snorted coldly, "Why should I feel guilty about something I haven't done? And why should I let you search my room?"
As soon as Jiang Xiyu finished speaking, the candlelight in the room behind her suddenly lit up, and the obvious figure of a man in the window made everyone present gasp.
The sudden yellow candlelight illuminated the tall figure in the room very clearly, and it was obviously a man.
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
Deji frowned, feeling a little flustered.
Who is in the room?
Wasn’t that man just stabbed by the lady?
Isn't it coming again today?
Deji subconsciously looked in the direction where the leader of the Golden Guards was hiding in the dark, but received no response.
The guards looked at each other in shock.
No one expected that there was actually a man hiding in Jiang Xiyu's room. This made things a big deal.
When Lin Rouyu saw the man, she could hardly suppress the joy on her face.
She said that something big must have happened last night, otherwise the guards would not have mobilized so many people.
She guessed that Jiang Xiyu had a secret meeting with a man in the middle of the night, and she hadn't admitted it yet. Now let's see how she can deny it.
When Zheng saw that there was indeed a man hiding in Jiang Xiyu's room, she immediately pointed at Jiang Xiyu in anger and cursed, "You bitch, how dare you cheat on Xun'er."
Zheng said this and impatiently ordered the maids, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and arrest this woman and put her in the pig cage."
The maids didn't expect that Jiang Xiyu actually took advantage of Xu Rui's absence to have an affair in the mansion.
The old women obediently stepped forward and wanted to capture Jiang Xiyu.
"How dare you." Before they could get close, Jiang Xiyu shouted, "I am the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, who dares to touch me?"
Seeing that the truth had been revealed and Jiang Xiyu still dared to resist, Zheng was furious again, "Jiang Xiyu, didn't you say that if the evidence is conclusive, then you should be thrown into the pig cage? What, this is not conclusive evidence?"
Zheng pointed at the figure in the window, her mouth spitting with excitement.
Jiang Xiyu was so bold that she took advantage of Xu Rui leading the troops to go to war and secretly met with a strange man at home. If this matter was reported to His Majesty, His Majesty would kill Jiang Xiyu so that the dowry would be hers.
Thinking of this, Zheng was overjoyed.
Jiang Xiyu wasn't nervous. She just glanced at the figure on the window indifferently and said nonchalantly, "Isn't it just a figure? What can it prove? How can it be considered conclusive evidence?"
Seeing Jiang Xiyu so calm, Deji really admired her.
Even in this situation, Jiang Xiyu was still not panicked at all, but he didn't believe that Jiang Xiyu would cheat on Xu Rui.
I was praying in my heart that the person in the room was not the masked man, otherwise, Jiang Xiyu would never be able to clear herself of the crime even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Seeing that Jiang Xiyu didn't cry even after seeing the coffin, Lin Rouyu couldn't help but sneer, "Sister, now that things have come to this, stop denying it and save some face. With such obvious evidence, you can't deny it even if you want to."
Jiang Xiyu is such a fool. The facts are already right in front of her. Does she still want to cover up the ugly things she has done with just a few words?
"Miss Lin seems to be very concerned about the family affairs of our Marquis' Mansion. People who don't know would think that you are our Marquis's concubine and framed me so that you can get the upper hand."
Jiang Xiyu's words instantly drew everyone's attention in the yard to Lin Rouyu.
Facing everyone's suspicious gazes, Lin Rouyu's face flushed with nervousness, and she glared at Jiang Xiyu angrily, "Sister, what are you talking about? It was obviously you who behaved improperly. You took advantage of Brother Rui's absence to have an affair in the mansion. How can this be said to be Rou'er's frame-up? What does this have to do with Rou'er?"
