The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

Chapter 178 Beauty is misleading



Chapter 178 Beauty is misleading

Guo Zirui knelt before Gu Jianchu, holding a teacup in his hand, and said truthfully, "I remember that I came out of the brothel yesterday and ran into a peddler. The peddler bumped into me and insisted that I had hurt him. Later, a young lady came..."

Guo Zirui glanced at Gu Jianchu weakly and quickly changed his words, "A girl came to help me out. I saw that girl was interested in me, so I took her to a teahouse for tea. When we came out of the teahouse, I felt groggy and instinctively followed the girl. But when I woke up, I found that the teacher had caught me in bed with another woman."

"It's that girl. There's something wrong with the tea that girl gave me."

"Do you remember what the girl looks like?"

"She is very beautiful, with an oval face and a very beautiful teardrop mole under her eye. She is wearing a white dress and is about the same height as the aunt next to the queen." Guo Zirui naturally did not dare to compare the criminal with the queen, unless he did not want to live.

[Oh no! Someone's about to run away.]

"Yunhe." Gu Jianchu gave Yunhe a look, and Yunhe immediately understood what he meant and walked out aggressively.

Before Xie Ci'an could react to the words "someone wanted to run away", Yun He grabbed a woman in white clothes and a veil and brought her to the lobby.

When Master Wu, who had not yet been taken away, saw the woman, his pupils suddenly contracted and a look of disbelief flashed across his eyes.

Xie Ci'an did not miss Master Wu's subtle expression.

Yunhe took off the woman's veil.

Gu Jianchu stood lazily behind the screen, looking through a layer of gauze, "But this person."

Guo Zirui came forward to take a look and immediately nodded vigorously, "Your Majesty, this is the man."

Guo Zirui looked at Gu Jianchu with a little more admiration in his eyes. The Queen was truly a deity. She could just grab the murderer from the crowd.

"Your Majesty, it was this woman who drugged me, which is why I broke into Master Wu's house without any consciousness and lay in the same bed with Wen." Guo Zirui looked fierce.

The woman was so scared that she shrank to the side, but was grabbed by Yunhe and couldn't run away at all.

The woman instinctively denied, "I didn't, I don't know this gentleman at all."

"You still say no, but yesterday outside the brothel, so many people saw you helping me out. And many people also saw us in the teahouse we went to. Your Majesty, you two lords, you can go to the teahouse or the brothel and ask anyone. They can all prove that this person helped me out yesterday and went in and out of the teahouse with me. When I came out of the teahouse, I was completely unconscious." Guo Zirui forced himself not to rush forward and hit the woman.

Dou Wen said word by word, "Will you confess on your own initiative, or wait for someone to find evidence, or perhaps be severely punished?"

"Or maybe Master Wu could help explain it. After all, the medicine you bought ended up in the hands of this girl." Dou Wen added.

Who still doesn't understand the relationship between these two people?

The woman looked at Master Wu in panic, "Song Lang, save me."

Master Wu was aroused by the woman's soft and tender words and he protected her behind him. "I planned this matter and it has nothing to do with Yue Niang. It was at my instruction that Yue Niang drugged Guo Zirui and lured him to my house. As a grown man, I couldn't get close to Guo Zirui, so I had to ask Yue Niang for help. You can kill me or cut me up as you please, but you can't put the blame on Yue Niang."

Seeing her husband protecting a strange woman like this, Mrs. Wen couldn't help but sneer, her shoulders shaking with laughter. "We're husband and wife, yet you treat me like this. You had a fleeting romance, yet you're willing to take the blame for her. Wu Song, you're really something. I served your parents for you, all those years of dedication, and it was all in vain. I'm divorcing you now, so you two can live a good life."

I originally thought Wen was just a weak, country woman, but I didn't expect her to have such a strong temper, which is exactly what I like.

[Just kick this kind of bastard man out. There's no need to waste your energy on him.]

"Bring Mrs. Wen to see me later." Gu Jianchu stroked the teacup at hand.

Not only Gu Jianchu, but also the other people in the front hall were shocked by Wen's decision.

Xie Ci'an knocked on the table, and Dou Wen immediately reacted, "Master, go and do it."

The lawyer looked at his master in confusion, and only after seeing his master nod did he go to deal with the matter. Divorcing a husband was unprecedented.

Master Wu didn't expect that Mrs. Wen would actually divorce her husband. Looking at the woman's resolute eyes, he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.

The lawyer wrote the divorce letter and asked the two to sign it separately. Master Wu and the woman were thrown into jail for murdering Wen and Guo Zirui, while Guo Zirui and Wen were acquitted.

Guo Zirui knelt solemnly and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty, for helping me clear my name. From today on, I will definitely behave myself."

"Beauty can mislead people. It's better to avoid places like brothels." Xie Ci'an was in a rare good mood and said this, then got up and went to the back hall to accompany the queen.

Guo Zirui lowered his head shyly, not caring whether the emperor could hear him or not, and said very seriously, "I will never go there again."

Minister Guo shook his head helplessly.

This brat said the same thing before, but when he was invited by his friends afterwards, he immediately followed them. I just hope that this time the brat can learn from his mistakes and not go to that kind of place again.

Minister Guo was still angry. Since the matter had been dealt with and the emperor had no intention of summoning him in, he turned around and left.

He hadn't taken two steps when Guo Zirui came out in big strides, "Dad, I'm sorry for making you worry this time. I won't let you worry anymore in the future."

"I hope so." Minister Guo left the Dali Temple without stopping, and then got on the carriage waiting outside.

Guo Zirui quickly chased after him, "Dad, I'm telling the truth this time. If I go to a brothel again, you'll break my legs."

"I'll believe you for once." Minister Guo stared at Guo Zirui seriously for a few seconds. It didn't look like he was lying. Maybe it was because the emperor and empress really allowed the brat to change this time.

In the back hall, Zhu Xia brought Wen over. In addition to the queen, the emperor and Dou Wen were also sitting beside them. Xie Ci'an naturally pushed the grapes brought by the maid in front of Gu Jianchu.

It seemed as if Wen had used up all her courage in her argument with Master Wu just now. Now she was so restrained and at a loss. After paying her respects to the emperor and empress politely, she didn't dare to stand up or even look up at the emperor and empress.

"Get up." Following Gu Jianchu's order, Zhuxi stepped forward to help the person up and whispered in Wen's ear, "The Queen has a good temper. You don't have to worry. Just tell her whatever you want to say."

"Ms. Wen, what are your plans next?" Gu Jianchu asked lazily.
