"Young Master Wang - yes, I'm sorry -"
Watching Wang Zi'an finish the drink in one gulp.
Two lines of clear tears silently fell from the eyes of Miss Fuxiang. She bowed slightly and bowed to Prince An. Then she turned around, staggered, opened the door curtain in despair, and walked out.
It seemed that what had happened just now had a great impact on her. Even the Madam Hongjie greeted her, but she didn't seem to hear it.
The young girl who was following her saw this and glanced at Wang Zi'an angrily. Then she leaned over and picked up the Yaoqin on the table, and hurriedly chased after him.
Another beautiful and unlucky woman.
Everyone thought she was frustrated in love and depressed, and didn't care about it.
Ma Zhou even sighed silently in his heart and shook his head inconspicuously.
But outsiders can't get in on this kind of love affair between men and women.
It cannot be said that just because you like or feel sorry for someone, you can just rightfully marry whomever you want.
If that were the case——
Thinking of this, Ma Zhou couldn't help but take another look at his husband's handsome face, which looked like an immortal.
This is simply a disaster among men.
Even if he has no talent or wealth, just because of this ridiculously handsome pretty face, the wives of his family can line up from the Imperial City to outside the Suzaku Gate.
This Fuxiang girl is probably just one of them.
Turning a blind eye to everyone's probing eyes, Wang Zi'an looked at the swaying curtains and the retreating figure of the Fuxiang girl. He pondered for a moment before coming back to his senses and looking at the madam seriously.
"Sister Hong, tell me about the girl just now——"
"this--"
Sister Hong had a troubled look on her face.
"Young Master Wang, you know that girls in places like ours are never willing to mention their families and past events..."
Wang Zi'an looked indifferently.
"Five hundred strings——"
"Ah - it's not that I am blinded by money. Since you asked me about it, sir, I naturally know everything and tell you everything -"
Wang Zi'an nodded slightly.
"Speaking of which, this girl is also a poor person. Her father was once our teacher in Chang'an County..."
Could it be that you really know me and have something to do with my predecessor?
Wang Zi'an felt something in his heart and took a breath of cold air.
Wouldn't it be so bloody?
Since the turmoil at the Confucius Poetry Society, as Wang Tong's reputation has spread, Wang Zi'an's past has also been uncovered.
Everyone knows that this man was once a student of Chang'an County School, but later dropped out of school.
Therefore, when everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly became strange, and they subconsciously looked up in Wang Zi'an's direction.
One was once a student of Chang'an County School, and the other was a daughter who was once a teacher of Chang'an County School?
If they didn't have some trust in Wang Zi'an's character, these people could instantly make up eighteen sets of ancient dramas for him in their minds, in which a scumbag fell into trouble and finally gave up, and a woman in trouble had no way to turn to him for help.
However, seeing Wang Zi'an thoughtful and serious at this moment, although these people were as curious as a cat scratching their hearts, they did not dare to disturb him. They just subconsciously stopped the chopsticks in their hands and prepared to eat a big melon.
"It was only later that I heard that my father had committed a crime and was wandered to Liuzhou, and my mother was seriously ill, so she sold herself to me. This matter made a big fuss in the summer. Prince Wang, have you heard about it?"
The madam said, taking a sneak look at the handsome young man in front of him, and asked tentatively.
This face was blinded in vain, and it turned out that he was just a heartless person with a cold temperament.
Although Sister Hong is used to seeing the harsh world, she still can't help but feel a little worthless for the girl under her.
Wang Zi'an shook his head slightly and looked at the other people.
The remaining people couldn't help but look at each other.
Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?
You were still studying in Chang'an County at that time. No, maybe you just dropped out of Chang'an County. How could you not know this?
But Wang Zi'an's eyes were clear and did not seem to be fake at all.
Although he was curious, Li Chengqian couldn't help but speak softly.
"I happened to have heard about this incident. It was said that someone reported that this edict was corrupt and deducted subsidies from students in Chang'an County. The impact was very bad at the time. The matter was spread to His Majesty's ears. Later, the case was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment and was Convicted of confiscation and exile..."
"Have you ever found any evidence of corruption——"
Wang Zi'an turned his head and glanced at Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian didn't know what Wang Zi'an was thinking, so he said honestly.
"It is said that the government officials from Chang'an County dug up a large amount of unidentified property in his house. Some of the gold ingots were stamped with the seal of the imperial court. The evidence is ironclad and cannot allow him to quibble..."
Wang Zi’an:……
Do you call this solid evidence?
"So, the old edict never acknowledged it?"
Wang Zi'an raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Under three trees, no confession can be obtained, let alone witnesses and physical evidence..."
Ma Zhou smiled bitterly and interjected.
Are all the witnesses and evidence available?
Thinking of what happened just now, Wang Zi'an felt a chill in his heart and asked a little cautiously.
"Who reported this, and who were the witnesses?"
He was really worried now. These nonsense things couldn't have been done by his predecessor.
"It is said that he is a student named Wang..."
Wang Zi’an:……
He couldn't help but subconsciously look at his sleeves, showing a wry smile.
What a sin.
Isn’t it really what my ex reported?
"Which one is who?"
Wang Zi'an subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"I really didn't pay attention to this, but later I heard that this witness disappeared soon..."
Li Chengqian didn't notice the panic look on Wang Zi'an's face, and sighed with regret.
"So, even though I later learned that this case was probably a bit fishy, I was too lazy to overturn the case decided by the Ministry of Justice for such a mere teaching..."
Cheng Chumo, Li Siwen and others should eat and drink. This kind of thing has nothing to do with them.
As a qualified second-generation dandy and official, although he is not afraid of trouble, he will not be idle as a messenger of justice and cause unnecessary trouble to the family.
Only Ma Zhou had a faint look of injustice on his face, the corners of his mouth moved, and finally he lowered his head and picked up the wine glass.
Wang Zi'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Missing?
That's good, that's good. This means that he and the Fuxiang girl don't have any mortal grudge to destroy their families.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt confident, his confidence instantly increased, and he suddenly stood up with a serious face.
"Come on, take us to that girl Fuxiang's room!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise and confusion.
Wang Zi'an did not speak, but gently raised his sleeves and showed them to everyone.
So wet!
Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Wang Zi'an pointed to the wet marks on his sleeves and said calmly.
"This is the glass of wine that Miss Fuxiang served just now - there is arsenic in it..."
