As soon as Gu Nan finished speaking, everyone around him looked at Xie Heng.
Servant of Wenchang Hou Mansion: Isn’t it? The crown prince actually sexually assaulted himself in order to seize the title?
The servant Gu Nan brought back from her parents' home stared at Xie Heng with anger on her face, unable to believe that her girl had suffered such great injustice.
Xie Heng felt that the eyes of these people were burning, as if they were trying to take off his clothes.
He secretly resented Gu Nan for being a petty person and not caring about his reputation at all.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he whispered to Gu Nan.
"Changshun's wife is slandering me. I just scolded her man a few words, but she harbored a grudge and deliberately retaliated against us.
You are the prince's wife that I have sincerely married. I don't even have time to love you, so how can I plot to harm you?
As for the idea of using you in exchange for a title, that is completely out of the question.
I am the eldest son of the Wenchang Marquis Mansion, and it will only be a matter of time before I ascend to the throne.
If you listen to the instigation of this despicable thing and ruin the relationship between us as husband and wife, then you have fallen into their scheme. "
He said, giving orders to his servants with a wink.
"Come here, drag this bitch down for slandering my master and kill him immediately."
The servants of the Hou Mansion came over immediately to drag him away.
With a look from Gu Nan, the dowry woman and servants she brought with her immediately stood in front of her.
The two parties were in a confrontation, with no one willing to give in.
Xie Heng's eyes quickly flashed with gloom, and then he looked at Gu Nan with a hurt expression.
"Madam, what are you doing? Would you rather believe the slanderous words of a servant than your own husband?
We are people who want to live together for the rest of our lives. It makes me sad that you don't trust me like this. "
Oh, who wants to spend a lifetime hand in hand with you?
Gu Nan lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes.
"I only believe in the truth. Since Changshun's wife and the prince hold different opinions, then go to the censor's station and let the censors decide the case.
Let’s see if this servant has a grudge against the Crown Prince and has a vicious heart to poison me, or is the Crown Prince harboring a scheming heart and deliberately scheming against King Jing and me?
I heard that the old censors at the Censorship Station are all very good at solving cases, and since the matter involves His Highness King Jing, I think the truth will be found out soon.
Where can I buy this medicine called Peach Blossom Mist? Who bought it? How much does medicine cost? Who in the house has been exposed to drugs?
Whenever something happens, it will definitely leave traces. "
She raised her eyes and looked at Xie Heng calmly, and said word by word:
"Your Majesty, do you think so?"
Xie Heng frowned slightly. In the past, as long as he coaxed Gu Nan like this, Gu Nan would be obedient to him, even paying for the shop and Zhuangzi.
Why are you so difficult to deal with today, as if you are a different person?
There was a cold flash in his eyes, this matter must not be brought to the Yushitai.
When the old censors at the Censorship Station encountered this kind of thing, they pounced on it like cats that smelled fishy smell and got entangled.
Not to mention finding out this matter, any servant in the Wenchang Hou Mansion can find out whatever hole they like to dig into.
At that time, there will be no hope for him to seize the title.
Xie Heng reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to look at Gu Nan with gentle eyes.
"It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. After all, our family is a noble family. If this kind of thing really happens, people will only laugh at us.
What's more, you are now in charge of the Hou Mansion. If you really want to cause trouble, others will laugh at you for not managing the family strictly, and even a servant can plot against you.
Besides, the matter involves Third Uncle Jing Wang after all. If word spreads and people know that Third Uncle Jing Wang has entered your yard, your reputation will also be damaged.
I know you have been wronged about what happened today. You can ask for whatever you want, and I will satisfy you as a husband, okay? "
He kept a low profile and looked at Gu Nan affectionately.
Gu Nan clenched his palms to suppress the nausea.
"Is it true that I can do anything I want?"
Xie Heng nodded. Princess Huaiyang next to him wanted to refute, but he shook his head to stop her.
Gu Nan turned to look at the crowd next to him and shouted: "Ruyi."
A maid wearing a cyan armor and a silver-plated face walked out of the crowd. It was her other maid Ruyi.
Ruyi took out a small notebook from her arms and read it out loud.
"On the fifth day of June in the ninth year of Yonghe, the prince managed the academy and borrowed five thousand taels of dowry silver.
On the eighth day of August, the princess borrowed ten thousand taels of dowry silver, and on the second day of September, the girl borrowed one thousand taels.
On the twelfth day of April in the tenth year of Yonghe, the crown prince borrowed a rice and grain shop, on the ninth day of May, the princess borrowed a jewelry shop and one from Qinghe Zhuangzi..."
Xie Heng interrupted loudly, "Shut up, what kind of nonsense is this?"
Gu Nan said: "This is the dowry shop, Zhuangzi, and silver that my mother-in-law, the crown prince and my sister-in-law borrowed from me three years ago when I married into the Hou Mansion.
I did the math and found that the prince and my mother-in-law took a total of six shops, two villages, and 50,000 taels of silver notes from me.
Since the Crown Prince said he wanted to compensate me, then return all these things. "
From the beginning, she never thought of actually causing trouble at the Yushitai. If things really happened, her reputation would be ruined.
Her purpose was to take advantage of this opportunity to force the Xie family's mother and son to spit out her dowry.
Xie Heng's face was very ugly, obviously he didn't expect Gu Nan to make such a request.
Shouldn't she ask herself to pamper her more in the future? How much should she love and protect her?
What a woman wants is more love from her husband.
He was studying in the academy and needed to socialize and take care of things on weekdays. He did get a lot of money from Gu Nan.
Every time he expressed that he was short of money and was looked down upon in the academy, Gu Nan would give him money without saying a word.
"I didn't expect that every time you gave me money, you would secretly keep accounts. Why did you borrow it? Gu Nan, I really misjudged you."
Gu Nan's eyes were stunned.
"Otherwise? If he hadn't borrowed it, wouldn't the prince have become a useless person who lives on soft food and relies on his wife's dowry to support him?"
Xie Heng was choked and speechless.
Relying on his wife's dowry to support him, such a reputation would be too unpleasant to spread.
He secretly winked at Princess Huaiyang.
Princess Huaiyang pointed at Gu Nan's nose and cursed.
"The daughter who comes from a merchant's family always has the smell of gold in her eyes. We didn't want these things at the beginning, you rushed to give them to us.
I have never heard of someone asking for something back after giving it away. It is really shameless. "
Gu Nan laughed angrily.
"Send it away? My mother-in-law said at the beginning that our Wenchang Marquis Mansion is a noble family and we cannot do such shameful things as waiting for flowers to use our daughter-in-law's dowry.
So when I received the money, I said that it was a loan. The so-called borrowing debt and repaying money is a matter of course.
Could it be that my mother-in-law wanted to seize my dowry shop and my money and refuse to pay it back, so that the royal palace spends my daughter-in-law's dowry. Is this shameless? "
Princess Huaiyang was choked and couldn't take a breath, and her heart ached from holding it in.
This is indeed what she said before.
But that was just a pretentious comment to coax Gu Nan, but now it was used by Gu Nan as a reason to fight back.
Gu Nan looked surprised.
"My mother-in-law has never thought about paying it back, right?"
Of course, she never thought that since the money had gone into her pocket, there was no way for Gu Nan to go back.
Princess Huaiyang covered her chest, rolled her eyes, and fell softly to the ground.
Gu Nan sneered and turned around to order Ruyi and Ruhua.
"Let's go to the Censor's Platform and let the Censors find out who gave the medicine in the Poria Cake.
By the way, I also asked the Royal Censor to cut off the dowry of the daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion Hua. Is it right? "
Princess Huaiyang's body froze when she was halfway down, but she ducked back without falling.
"Ouch."
She held her waist so painful that her face was distorted, and she leaned on her confidant Zhang Mama and scolded Gu Nan angrily.
"Go and tell the Censor that this is really a big deal and the Hou Mansion is just losing face.
If you dare to step out of this courtyard today, I will let the prince divorce you immediately. "
