Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 64 - 63: Truly Wearing a Green Hat!

Su Juan’s words were like a thunderclap, leaving everyone buzzing with confusion. If the child wasn’t Prince Jing’s, nor was it the businessman husband’s from Chu State, then whose was it?

The businessman husband came eagerly looking for his wife, only to find himself cast in a dishonorable role!

These people really know how to play the game.

Song Qianfan’s pupils contracted suddenly as he glared at Liang Yin, "Wretch, whose child is it that you’re carrying!"

Liang Yin collapsed to the ground, pale-faced, "Young Master, the child in my womb is yours..."

"You lying harlot!" Song Qianfan, infuriated, stood up, ready to slap Liang Yin but was pulled away just in time.

He shouted at Liang Yin, "I’ve never wronged you. I only took you in because I pitied you being alone in Capital City, and now you resort to such heartless trickery against me. Tell me! Who’s the father of the bastard in your womb, and who sent you to frame me?"

Blinded by rage, Song Qianfan believed everyone was plotting against him. Surely someone had instructed Liang Yin to seduce and ensnare him—was it Prince Heng or Prince Han?

Liang Yin felt utterly disheartened, for they had once shared a bed, yet he was so ruthless.

At this point, Qiu Chuchong felt overwhelmed by the complexity of the case. What seemed like a tangled affair of two men and one woman turned out to involve yet another man as the father of Liang Yin’s child!

Su Juan, why do you always speak so sporadically? Can’t you just say everything all at once!?

How could Su Juan know that everyone was curious about the drama unfolding in her heart, while she was alternately thinking about food, tomorrow’s early court session, and the fact that Minister Mo was the newly appointed Minister of Revenue, wondering what excuse she’d use to leave...

Everyone was eager and impatient: Just speak already!

Su Juan sighed, [It’s all the Old Emperor’s fault. Why drag me to court meetings and then appoint Minister Mo, who’s always at odds with me? This is just causing trouble for no reason.]

[He’s got chaos in his own harem and yet is fiddling with matters concerning me...]

Everyone: !!1

Who wants to hear about the emperor’s harem scandals!

Fortunately, Su Juan’s train of thought quickly circled back, [Actually, Liang Yin has had quite an experience. Her husband married her but wouldn’t touch her, and made her play music and dance for noble guests all day long. This wasn’t treating someone as a wife but as an object to entertain and profit from those dignified guests.]

Tsk, what a dishonorable act, treating one’s wife like this!

Liang Yin is indeed pitiable, thinking she married an ideal man, when he was just using her to curry favor with business elites.

[During the day, she fawned over guests, while at night she was left alone. It’s only natural she developed feelings for the injured assassin who stumbled into her courtyard. One thing led to another, and the inevitable happened.]

Song Qianhang: "!!!" So that’s how it is!

The crowd was excited to hear that she got entangled with an assassin—how thrilling!

It seems Miss Liang was indeed a person of passion.

The assassin must have been quite handsome to capture the heart of a beauty.

Song Qianfan’s face grew darker. How dare she attribute the child of an assassin to him!

[Who could have imagined, once the man fled, she was left all alone, desperately needing to find a father for the child in her womb. She cunningly pinned the child on her husband.]

This green hat, he certainly put it on himself, no one else to blame.

The men received complex looks from the crowd; how to say it, he somewhat deserved it.

[But who could have imagined, the husband was truly shameless, thinking to deliver his pregnant wife as a concubine to Chu State Prefect!]

Everyone was shocked! This man, even thinking the child was his, still gave away his wife and child?

This is absurd beyond absurdity, utterly ridiculous.

Qiu Chuchong was shocked too. Chu State Prefect was over fifty, this is chaotic!

[The Prefect had been injured in his youth and was now lamenting his childlessness at fifty. When Liang Yin’s husband sent her, it truly pleased the Prefect, who immediately sent for her that night.]

Qiu Chuchong’s eyes narrowed. How could the Chu State Prefect dare accept?

The crowd marveled at how much Su Juan knew!

[Upon realizing this, Liang Yin fled overnight, fearing the Prefect’s influence, and dared only to venture to Capital City. Begging a bit of luck, she pretended to be a distant relative of Princess Jing, brazenly taking refuge in Prince Jing Mansion for protection. Given Princess Jing had many distant relatives, who would truly verify each one?]

By now, everything was clear. No one expected that even Miss Liang’s identity as a cousin was faked. She really had Prince Jing Mansion spinning in circles.

[Initially, Liang Yin set her eyes on Song Qianhang because of his reputation as a debauchee, knowing he’d be easily seduced by beauty...]

Song Qianhang’s eyes widened; who’s easily seduced?

Liang Yin had approached several times, and not once did I respond!

The crowd nodded repeatedly. It’s true, Song Er was known for his love of beauty, frequenting brothels, so it would not be surprising if a new affair emerged.

Song Qianhang: You’re spewing nonsense!

[But who would have thought, Song Qianhang avoided her like the plague, not allowing her any closer.]

Song Qianhang snorted coldly. This young lord is a decent man.

The crowd was amazed. Liang Yin’s looks didn’t pale compared to brothel girls, yet Song Er resisted her charms?

[Fearing that her belly would grow and her identity exposed, Liang Yin took a risk, switching her target to Song Qianfan, tsk.]

The crowd: So that’s how it is!

Even without Su Juan’s insights, they could piece together the rest.

But Su Juan’s rambles couldn’t stop, she even added personal speculation, [The thing is, before Liang Yin could act, Song Qianfan eagerly approached her, and they got it on in the courtyard, tsk, showing no concern for decency.]

The disdainful tone had onlookers sharing expressions of disapproval.

[Liang Yin smeared a bit of pig blood on her skirt and he fell for it, truly dumb and laughable...]

The crowd stifled laughter; the esteemed young master fooled by pig blood.

Even if this case concluded with him being found innocent, this story would follow him in Capital City forever.

Song Qianfan’s face darkened like ink, gritting his teeth. This Su Juan, still yelling when he’s down, truly was here to jinx him.

As the case progressed, everyone thought Qiu Chuchong would know how to rule, but sidenotes can’t serve as evidence, especially when the plaintiff claimed the child in Liang Yin’s womb was his own, intending to sue Song Qianfan—befittingly for taking his wife and keeping her as a concubine. That was the undeniable truth.

Liang Yin’s husband stated there were witnesses and evidence en route from Chu State to Capital City, suggesting his resolute determination to condemn Song Qianfan.

Qiu Chuchong adjourned the court for lack of evidence, postponing proceedings to another day.

Su Juan squinted, [Why does it feel like Liang Yin’s husband is determined to see Song Qianfan dead?]

"!" One word awakened the dreamer.
