Reborn as the Crippled King's Beloved-Chapter 144 - They Care Too Much for Ah Jiu
Chapter 144: Chapter 144 They Care Too Much for Ah Jiu
Forced marriage?
Fu Baozhu is no longer the daughter of the General’s Mansion, so why would the Emperor of Great Yan bestow any marriage upon her?
At this moment, Na Kesi’s complexion was as dark as it could be. His face, beaten black and blue by the brothers of the Fu Family, no longer showed any of his former handsomeness and was swollen, resembling a pig’s head.
Seeing that Na Kesi said nothing, Fu Baozhu, panicking, quickly clung to his arm:
“Na Kesi! I’m already your woman! You said you liked me for who I am, not for my status! What’s more… What’s more, it was because of you that I had a fallout with my father and brothers. It was because of you they were angry with me and deliberately didn’t help me out!”
She attributed the reason the men of the Fu Family did not take her side to them being angry with her.
Unfortunately, nobody present was a fool, and it was clear to everyone that she was feeling guilty.
Moreover, the men of the Fu Family had always been known for defending their own fiercely. Who in the Capital City didn’t know this? Today, the revelation of Fu Baozhu’s identity would’ve already caused trouble if it was false. Would the men of the Fu Family have allowed people to point fingers at Fu Baozhu like this?
Na Kesi quickly turned his head, shaking off Fu Baozhu’s hand, and said:
“This prince has a severe headache and feels nauseated to the point of vomiting. I must see a court physician immediately. Let’s talk about everything else after I’ve seen the doctor!”
With that, he attempted to push his way out.
Seeing this, Lady Wang quickly grabbed Na Kesi.
“Where are you going, Prince! Fu Baozhu has lost her purity to you, and this is your sense of responsibility? General Fu, are you really going to stand by and watch the prince leave without taking responsibility for Fu Baozhu? She has been your precious daughter for sixteen years! How can you doubt her just because of a few words from strangers? Could the affection of sixteen years be false?”
She was worried that Na Kesi would run away and not take responsibility for Fu Baozhu. Lady Wang still understood the priorities. With things having escalated to this point and the outcome uncertain, the fact remained that Fu Baozhu had indeed lost her virginity to Na Kesi. This marriage had to be set in stone.
She could tell that Na Kesi was no longer willing, but what kind of reason was that? How could he take advantage of her daughter and not be responsible?
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, the Marchioness seems very concerned about Fu Baozhu. Surely Fu Baozhu must be her biological daughter,” someone commented.
“Who would say otherwise?” another replied.
“She’s been here and hasn’t shown concern for Princess Consort Ling, yet she has the nerve to say Princess Consort Ling is her hard-earned daughter. How can someone be so shameless?”
“What a wicked woman! Such a malicious person should be drowned in a pig cage!”
“Absolutely! She caused General Fu to be separated from his own flesh and blood for sixteen years and even raised an enemy’s daughter for sixteen years. In my opinion, drowning her in a pond is letting her off easy. She should be executed by a thousand cuts!”
The crowd spoke chaotically, expressing their extreme disgust toward Lady Wang.
They couldn’t understand where Lady Wang got the audacity to tell such blatant lies.
“Shut up! What do you know!” Lady Wang shouted angrily, much like Fu Baozhu had done earlier.
Taking advantage of the commotion, Na Kesi slipped away into the crowd. Lady Wang and Marquis Murong were furious and steaming, hastily ordering servants to give chase, but even the servants couldn’t get through the crowd.
Emperor Jun Yuyan had intentionally let the man escape. Na Kesi not wanting to marry Fu Baozhu was part of his and Ah Jiu’s plan.
“General Fu! This is the man who dishonored your daughter, why aren’t you worried?” Lady Wang angrily accused General Fu.
Murong Jiu watched the scene unfold, the corner of her mouth curling into a cold smile.
It seemed Lady Wang still failed to recognize the gravity of the situation and had the leisure to worry about Fu Baozhu’s marriage.
Her serene voice pierced into the ears of Lady Wang and the others, “Marchioness, you should be considering how to save your own life when you are charged with a crime in a while, rather than worrying about others.”
Lady Wang could no longer control her temper and exploded, “You cursed wretch! Do you hope for my death! You are the death omen! Without you, none of this would have happened! Why didn’t you die in that rural manor!”
Emperor Jun Yuyan’s gaze turned icy, and with a flick of his finger, a hidden guard appeared, kicked Lady Wang to the ground, tore off her headgear, and slapped her face hard.
Once the headgear was removed, disgusted exclamations rang out.
“How disgusting!”
“So many tumors! So ugly!”
The Hidden Guard’s face showed no change, as if he couldn’t see the tumors, he kept slapping Lady Wang’s mouth relentlessly.
In the eyes of the Hidden Guard, Lady Wang’s struggle was less forceful than that of a little chicken.
At first, Lady Wang was still cursing loudly, but she quickly became unable to.
“Lady Wang, if I hear you insult my Princess Consort again, next time, I will use a knife instead,”
Jun Yuyan said in a cold voice.
If it weren’t for the fact that Lady Wang still had some usefulness, just based on what she said earlier, he would have taken her life right away.
The reason Lady Wang couldn’t control her temper was exactly because of the slow-acting poison she had discussed and created with Divine Doctor Zhai in the Prince Mansion.
The poison not only made them unbearably itchy, but it also made them more and more irritable each day, losing their reason.
Lady Wang had been stimulated just now, and she had almost lost her reason completely.
Good, losing their reason would make judging the cases easier, and Marquis Murong was close to that point too.
This was their last use.
But Jun Yuyan was still very upset.
He hated letting Ah Jiu hear these distasteful words; he knew that the words she had heard in the past must have been even worse.
The people around felt very relieved.
Lady Wang dared to call Princess Consort Ling wicked in front of so many people; who knows how much worse she would curse behind her back.
General Fu and his three brothers, Fu Heng, although they did not speak, it was obvious they were holding back their anger.
Even if Jun Yuyan hadn’t ordered someone to do it, they would have taught Lady Wang a lesson themselves.
Thinking about how Murong Jiu must have often heard such insults over the past sixteen years, their hearts ached deeply.
Murong Jiu’s face remained indifferent, not at all influenced by Lady Wang’s curses, evidently having grown accustomed to them long ago.
General Fu clenched his fists tightly.
Listening to the cheers around her, Murong Man’s face turned pale for a few moments.
No, this was a trap.
Her entire family had been calculated against.
It was Jun Yuyan helping Murong Jiu settle accounts, helping her find her relatives, helping her take revenge!
Jun Yuyan and Murong Jiu’s expressions were too calm, as if everything was under their control.
No! She had to find the Second Prince!
Now only the Second Prince could help her family.
If the reputation of Marquis Mansion was ruined, she feared her marriage would be affected too.
She was just half a month away! Only half a month left before she would marry into the Second Prince’s Mansion!
Unfortunately, Murong Man realized too late, she simply couldn’t squeeze her way out, and at that moment, the Capital Prefecture Magistrate suddenly brought people over, saying that someone had reported a case—Lady Wang had conspired with bandits to kill the General’s wife sixteen years ago!
Now, they had come to take all the people involved to Prefecture Yamen for trial!
Murong Man’s legs gave out, and she almost fell to the ground.
