Chapter 317: showdown
Mrs. Zhu couldn't see the frizzy appearance of the servants in the palace the most, and her face sank immediately: "What's the matter?"
The maid glanced at Jiang Yi in a hurry, her tone still could not hide her panic: "The grandfather's in-laws came home, also..."
"What's going on?" Madame Zhu became more unhappy, thinking that she shouldn't have married someone like Dongping Bofu, who didn't even visit the door directly.
"I also took the grandpa and a woman, saying that the grandpa and that woman had an affair!" The maid finally made it clear.
Mrs. Zhu stood up sharply and asked sharply, "Where is the person?"
The maid said with a crying voice: "I followed a lot of people watching the excitement. I was afraid that it would not end up if the trouble was too big, so I invited them in. I'm waiting right now..."
Without waiting for the maid to finish, Madam Zhu had already walked out quickly.
Jiang Yi stood there, as if he had been fixed by the gods, and remained motionless.
The maid took a deep look at Jiang Yi, and then turned to chase Madam Zhu.
Jiang Yi's eyelashes trembled, tears rolling down the corners of his eyes.
The tears are as cold as ice beads, just like this early winter day.
I don't know how long it took before she staggered and ran out.
Madam Zhu sent someone to the yamen to call Zhu Shaoqing back to the mansion, while rushing to the front yard flower hall.
The flower hall of the Zhu Mansion is quite elegantly arranged, but Jiang Ancheng sits in it but feels sick.
Jin Yu was defeated outside, and he deeply realized it today.
After Mrs. Zhu entered the door, she saw her son with a faceless face, and then Jiang Ancheng.
"What on earth happened?"
Jiang Ancheng glanced at Mrs. Zhu and said coldly: "Your mansion should go and call Zhu Deming? It's better to wait for him to go back to the mansion to speak, and save another tongue."
"Ziyu, you say!" Madam Zhu looked at Zhu Ziyu.
Others are making trouble at home. Of course, you can't wait passively, at least to figure out what happened.
Zhu Ziyu was cold from heart to fingertips.
Maybe the winter is too cold to stiffen his thoughts, and now he is still in a dream.
what is the problem?
The private meeting between him and Mingyue couldn't be more hidden. How could a woman lead a group of people to break in to catch the rape?
It's fine if you make a mistake, anyway, no one knows him and Mingyue, it is not difficult to deal with the past, but how come father-in-law and the others appear there?
Zhu Ziyu thought about these questions, and Mrs. Zhu's question seemed to be across the clouds, with a sense of unreality.
In front of his parents, he is the filial and respectful eldest son; in front of outsiders, he is a concubine who is known as the "preserving prime minister"; in front of his wife, he is a considerate husband...
Could all of this disappear because of today's accident?
No, no, it can't be like this!
Zhu Ziyu's face gradually distorted, and his whole body began to tremble.
Jiang Si watched Zhu Ziyu's reaction coldly, sneered at the corner of his mouth.
A man like Zhu Ziyu is the most disgusting. He usually looks good and has a deep heart. He can't wait to show his perfect side in front of others, but once he exposes that layer of painting, he will be cowardly and despicable.
Mrs. Zhu turned her eyes to see Cui Mingyue, her eyes shrank suddenly, and she said, "Ms. Cui?"
Cui Mingyue's performance was much calmer than Zhu Ziyu's, and she kept her eyes silent.
She is waiting.
Jiang Zhan recognized her identity and didn't care about dragging her to Zhu's house to be embarrassed. This account will be calculated later, and now she has to wait for her mother to come.
For Cui Mingyue, shame and anger are far more than fear at this moment.
What about her dating Zhu Ziyu? At least Jiang Zhan did not expose her identity outside, as long as her mother intervened to suppress this matter, even if the news spread out, it would only be a guess.
Of course the mother would be angry, but that was after she went home and closed the door. She had her own way to coax her to ignore it. But now, it's better to say more than to be wrong, and to remain silent.
After recognizing Cui Mingyue's identity, Mrs. Zhu felt a little relieved.
"Uncle is wrong, this girl is the daughter of General Cui and Princess Rongyang, it's impossible—"
Jiang Ancheng sneered and interrupted Mrs. Zhu's words: "Zhu Ziyu and Miss Cui were blocked in the room by a group of people, and my virtuous son-in-law admits that Miss Cui is his wife!"
"This is probably a rumor--"
"I heard it with my own ears in the yard at the time. Madam Zhu still said it was a rumor?" Jiang Ancheng pointed out the door. "If Madam Zhu didn't believe it, just ask someone outside to watch the excitement to ask. There were quite a few at the time. Everyone heard it."
Madam Zhu tried her best to maintain her composure: "Ziyu, tell my mother, what is going on?"
In Zhu Ziyu's long silence, Zhu Shaoqing rushed back.
Seeing Zhu Shaoqing about to speak, Jiang Ancheng waved his hand: "Don't say anything in those scenes. Zhan'er, tell Master Zhu the story."
Jiang Zhan glanced at Zhu Ziyu coldly, and said angrily: "God opened my eyes too. Today I asked my father and sister to go to the Mapo Pickled Cucumber Shop to have porridge, and I saw the excitement..."
After Zhu Shaoqing listened, she walked to Zhu Ziyu with a calm face and slapped him with a hand.
The crisp applause brought a momentary silence in the room.
A woman walked in quickly: "Master, Madam, Princess Rongyang is here."
Soon a beautiful woman with long eyebrows and temples walked in.
Princess Rongyang sneaked in from the back door of Zhu's house. This was the first time she had slipped into someone else's house in such an embarrassing manner.
Seeing Princess Rongyang, Cui Mingyue spoke for the first time: "Mother——"
Princess Rongyang's phoenix eyes were bright, she swept towards Zhu Shaoqing and others, and finally settled on Zhu Ziyu's face.
She had heard what happened today from the maidservant.
This young man is involved with the daughter?
Against the gaze of Princess Rongyang's scrutiny, Zhu Ziyu only felt that the face that had just been slapped by Zhu Shaoqing was getting hotter. This hotness made him feel deeply humiliated and desperate.
Zhu Ziyu straightened his back slightly, and said deeply to Princess Rongyang and Zhu Shaoqing's couple: "It was Ziyu who failed his parents' expectations, and Ziyu never thought it would become like this..."
He paused in his tone and glanced at Cui Mingyue deeply, with a firm expression: "It's just that the son and Mingyue are in love with each other, and I hope that the eldest princess will be fulfilled with his father and mother!"
Until now, it is hopeless to think that his reputation will not be affected by divorcing his wife and marrying another. If he can't marry the Mingyue, what happened today is enough to ruin his career.
He can't beat him!
Princess Rongyang raised her eyebrows slightly and said coldly: "Isn't it ridiculous that you, a man with a wife and a daughter, beg me to do it?"
Zhu Ziyu suddenly turned around and saluted Jiang Ancheng: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law has let you down, and my son-in-law doesn't want to upset anyone, but a person's feelings can't be controlled..."
The curtain flickered, and a man staggered in.
"Eldest sister!" Jiang Si walked over quickly.
Jiang Yi supported the wall and looked straight at Zhu Ziyu.
