Chapter 231 Killing Miss Xie
Chapter 231 Killing Miss Xie
"My Lord, did the princess tell you that the reason why Mr. Liang became stupid was because he fell in love with a girl named Xiao Hongxing and wanted to force her to be his bed-warming maid.
However, Miss Xiao refused to obey, so your son forced her fiancé to break off the engagement. Then, despite Miss Xiao's objection, he brought her back to the mansion and forcibly convicted her of innocence that day.
Xiao Hongxing was filled with hatred for this, and while Mr. Liang was asleep, she smashed him with a vase. Xiao Hongxing knew that she would not survive if she killed Liang Yuanluo, so she hanged herself with a piece of silk.
My Lord, is there anything untrue in what I said?"
Liang Wenhao didn't believe what Xie Lan said at first, but his expression changed at this moment.
He was not at home when his son got into trouble. When he returned, Princess Huaining's explanation was exactly the same as Xie Lan's.
The problem is that after Liang Yuanluo got into trouble, Princess Huaining ordered everyone to keep silent. For the sake of her son's reputation, the princess did not let outsiders know the truth.
Even the emperor thought that Liang Yuanluo became stupid due to falling off a horse and having a high fever.
When the princess learned that Liang Yuanluo had been beaten stupid, she was furious. Not only did she order Xiao Hongxing's corpse to be whipped and thrown into a mass grave, but she also ordered the guards to beat all of Liang Yuanluo's servants to death because she was angry at their failure to protect him.
Now, the only ones who know the truth about Liang Yuanluo’s accident are the couple.
"Does the Prince Consort want to ask me how I know such a secret matter?"
Liang Wenhao really wanted to know, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he saw Princess Huaining's angry face and swallowed them back.
The prince consort was afraid of the princess, but Yang Fen had no scruples and kept urging Xie Lan, "Don't keep us in suspense. Tell me how you knew this. Did you use fortune-telling to figure it out?"
Although the other guests could not say anything due to the princess's status, they all pricked up their ears and waited with keen eyes for Xie Lan to reveal the news.
Xie Lan didn't keep anyone in suspense and said directly: "It's not fortune-telling. These are all told to me by Mr. Liang's mother."
After a pause, fearing that others might not understand, she deliberately added, "I'm not talking about Princess Huaining, but the woman who gave birth to Liang Yuanluo."
As soon as Xie Lan finished speaking, everyone looked at the prince consort.
In Kyoto, everyone knows that the prince consort loves Princess Huaining, and apart from her, he has no other woman.
Could it be that the prince consort actually did not love the princess, and not only did he secretly keep a concubine without telling her, but he even had a child with her, Liang Yuanluo?
But when I think about it carefully, I think it’s impossible.
As Princess Huaining, how could she tolerate her husband secretly keeping a mistress without telling her?
Noticing the strange looks from everyone, Liang Wenhao's face darkened. "Thank you, Miss. I have never done anything to let the princess down. Apart from the princess, I have no concubines, no maids, and no mistresses. Liang Yuanluo is the biological child of the princess and me."
Princess Huaining had not stopped Xie Lan, and was waiting for this moment.
"Miss Xie, did you understand? Yuan Luo is the child of me and my husband, and I am his biological mother. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so how could I harm my only legitimate son?
I don't know what your purpose is in saying that Yuan Luo's biological mother is someone else, and I don't want to know. Anyway, this matter ends here.
Considering that you are still young, I will not mind your mischief this time.
However, in order for the banquet to proceed smoothly, I have no choice but to ask you and the Xie family to leave together. Come, send Xie Zhubo and his family back home."
Although Princess Huaining said that she didn't care, Xie Lan saw a flash of murderous intent in her eyes. He even saw her wink at the guards.
It's easy to guess that she was hinting to the guards to find a chance to kill her.
How could Xie Lan be so foolish as to follow the guards and leave?
"Your Highness the Prince Consort does not have any concubines, maids, or mistresses. But I wonder if you still remember that more than ten years ago, you got drunk in Taicang Prefecture and slept with a girl named Huang Qiuxia?" Liang Wenhao's pupils shrank.
Following Xie Lan's words, long-lost memories suddenly flooded into my mind.
At that time, he was ordered by the emperor to go to Taicang Prefecture for work. The local officials invited him to a banquet, and he drank a lot of wine for the social occasion. After getting drunk, he slept with a girl in a daze. When he woke up and learned about this, he was very upset.
At that time, he had already married the princess and knew that he could not marry another woman, so he spent a sum of money to send away Miss Huang Qiuxia.
So many years have passed, and he has completely forgotten about this matter.
No one expected that the prince consort had slept with a girl before. They were curious but didn't dare to ask.
Yang Fen relied on Yang Guifei and was not afraid of offending Princess Huaining at all.
With a curious look on his face, he asked, "Miss Xie, did Miss Huang tell you all these things? Could she be Liang Yuanluo's biological mother?"
Xie Lan nodded, "Yes, it was Miss Huang who told me."
The prince consort tried to hold back, but finally couldn't hold back any longer, "Back then, when I was in Taicangzhou, I got drunk accidentally and had physical contact with Huang Qiuxia.
But I haven't seen her since I left Tai Cangzhou. It's ridiculous that Miss Xie said Yuan Luo was her child. She got pregnant not long after I married the princess, and later gave birth to the child. How could Yuan Luo be someone else's child? No matter what, I don't believe it. "
"Since the Prince Consort doesn't believe it, let Huang Qiuxia tell you in person."
Princess Huaining secretly sneered. She had ordered people to deal with the bitch Huang Qiuxia after she gave birth to the child. She saw with her own eyes that the nanny poured poison into her mouth, and she died after two hours of pain.
She also ordered the guards to throw her body into a dry well, and finally sealed the well. Huang Qiuxia was already dead, so how could she possibly tell the truth?
Princess Huaining didn't know Xie Lan's abilities, but Liu's mother and daughter knew that Xie Lan had learned a lot of skills in Sanqing Mountain, and could make even a dead person speak.
Liu desperately winked at the princess, wanting her to stop Xie Lan.
It’s a pity that Princess Huaining was so angry with the mother and daughter for ruining her good deeds that she didn’t pay any attention to their movements at all.
"Miss Xie, is Mr. Liang's mother here too?"
Seeing Yang Fen curiously looking at the ladies and wives present, Xie Lan shook his head, "Don't look for her, you won't be able to see her."
Yang Fen was about to ask why, but saw Xie Lan take out talisman paper and start chanting a spell.
When Princess Huaining saw this scene, she frowned and felt inexplicably uneasy.
But before she could react, a gust of cold wind blew past, and two female ghosts suddenly appeared strangely not far in front of Xie Lan.
Princess Huaining's heart suddenly tightened. She pointed at Xie Lan and ordered the guards around her in a stern voice, "Miss Xie is spreading rumors and trying to murder me. Kill her..."
