Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

"Okay, don't move yet. I'll ask the guards to carry you to the Duke's study on a wooden board." Mammy responded quickly, because Xiao Yan had already given the order, so the wooden board was quickly prepared.

When they arrived at Xiao Yan's study, Xiao Yan sat in front of the chopping board, and Wang Xiaowu stood on the left side of Xiao Yan's chopping board.

Seeing Qiu'er being carried in, Xiao Yan and Wang Xiaowu couldn't help but take a breath. They didn't expect that Wang Jingxuan could be so cruel when she was pregnant. Aren't they afraid of injuring the child in her belly with excessive force?

"Qiu'er, aren't you from Mrs. Side's yard? If you have anything to do, you can tell Mrs. Side directly. Why did you come to see the Duke?" Wang Xiaowu was the first to speak.

Qiu'er lay on the wooden board and looked up at Xiao Yan.

"Master, please step aside. I have something important to tell you."

Xiao Yan let the others go down. Qiu'er looked at Wang Xiaowu and hesitated to speak.

"Just tell me! Xiao Wu has been with my Duke since he was a child. He is his right-hand man. If you have anything to say, you don't have to avoid him." Xiao Yan looked at Qiu'er and explained.

"My lord, this servant wants to sue Madam Side. Firstly, she cheated on her and got pregnant with the guard's child. Secondly, she and Young Master Wang murdered Xu Jingshu, the eldest daughter of the Xu family."

Xiao Yan and Wang Xiaowu were both shocked. Xiao Yan thought about the murder of Xu Jingshu, but Hongxing cheated and became pregnant with someone else's child. How could this be possible?

"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise our country will not let you off easy." Xiao Yan said while holding back his anger. This was the child he had been waiting for for a long time in his previous life. How could it be someone else's?

"My lord, what I say is the truth. If you tell a lie, the sky will strike you like lightning and you will die." Qiu'er lay on the wooden board and made an oath gesture with her right hand.

"The doctor has checked and the month is just right. What evidence do you have to prove that the child in Mrs. Side's belly is not his father's?" Xiao Yan focused on Wang Jingxuan Hongxing's affair and forgot to investigate Xu Jingshu's matter. .

Wang Xiaowu was also shocked when he heard what Qiu'er said. He knew that Wang Jingxuan had a bad temper, but he did not expect that Wang Jingxuan would dare to cuckold Xiao Yan.

"My lord, that doctor was bribed by Mrs. Side and told lies. If you want to prove whether what I'm telling the truth is, you just need to find another doctor to check your pulse." Qiu'er endured the pain on her body and said. .

"Wang Xiaowu, go ask two trustworthy and reliable doctors to check Mrs. Side's pulse."

Wang Xiaowu immediately understood that this was a family scandal after all, and he wanted to find two doctors to verify whether Qiu'er was telling the truth.

"Who is the adulterer of the lady over there? Where is he now?" Xiao Yan continued to ask.

"Returning to the country, sir, the adulterer is Hu Yang, the guard in Madam Side's yard. When they had a tryst, they were not only slaves, but even the nuns you sent would be pushed away by Madam Side. They hooked up in the ancestral hall years ago. "

The wound on Qiu'er's body hurt. After she finished speaking, she scratched her face and kept breathing in cool air to relieve the pain.

Xiao Yan said with a cold face:

"go on."

"Mrs. Side used Populus euphratica to send a message to Young Master Wang, asking her to find a woman named 'Shu'er'. She said that she was the Duke of the country and you always called her by this name when sleeping. In addition, you demoted her to Mrs. Side, so she wanted to take revenge. Miss Xu." Qiu'er moved and lay on her side, which made her feel much more comfortable.

"How did she confirm that Xu Jingshu was the 'Shu'er' mentioned by her father-in-law?"

"First, you hosted a banquet for six people so that they could take care of their families. Miss Xu was inside, and you even looked at Miss Xu several times. Second, you took away your head and face three days ago to give away, and in the evening it was reported that Miss Xu had an illness. The deputy was a good leader, so Madam Side sent a message to Young Master Wang that day, and Miss Xu was killed the next day."

After listening to Qiu'er's story, Xiao Yan probably figured out the clue. It was because Wang Jingxuan found the wrong person that Xu Jingshu died tragically. No wonder Xu Jingshu lived a good life in the previous life. Xiao Yan blamed himself extremely, and at the same time he was glad that Wang Jingxuan found the wrong person. Otherwise, it would be Lin Shu who was lying in Dali Temple at this time. Maybe even if this happened to Lin Shu, Emperor Lan would not order a thorough investigation.

"Come here, take Qiu'er down to rest." After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he ordered two nuns to watch Qiu'er carefully. He also sent two guards to guard Qiu'er's door to prevent Wang Jingxuan from knowing that Qiu'er had informed her. The child is a place of death.

When Xiao Yan went to Wang Jingxuan's yard, he happened to meet Wang Xiaowu returning with the doctor.

"Sir, these two doctors used to treat the old lady, and they are people we can trust." Wang Xiaowu explained, indicating that they have been found.

Originally, Xiao Yan's mother wanted these two doctors to protect Wang Jingxuan's pregnancy, but Wang Jingxuan hired the doctor herself and refused to accept other doctors. She said that she had been treated by the same doctor since she was a child, and she was not used to other doctors.

Only then did Xiao Yan realize that he was not used to it. He just wanted to keep the secret in her belly.

Xiao Yan whispered a few words into Wang Xiaowu's ear and led the doctor into Wang Jingxuan's courtyard.

"I have met the Duke, why do you have time to see me today?"

Wang Jingxuan glanced at the doctor behind Xiao Yan again. Because these two doctors often asked Xiao Yan's mother for Ping'an pulse, and Wang Jingxuan had served Mrs. Hou for a while, she knew clearly that the doctor was standing behind Xiao Yan.

"Sir, what are you doing?" Wang Jingxuan asked with a pale face. She was afraid that Xiao Yan had called her to check her pulse.

"Today two doctors came to check for mother's pulse. Mother asked them to come and see you and see how the baby is in your belly." Xiao Yan made some nonsense.

Wang Jingxuan held her stomach and took a few steps back. It was obvious that she had a guilty conscience.

"Sir, the doctor took a look at it yesterday. The child is growing well in my belly."

The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth quickly turned to the right, and he laughed at himself. He was so happy to have a child that he didn't notice Wang Jingxuan's poor acting skills.

"I heard that you were angry because of Qiu'er this morning. Let the doctor take another look." Xiao Yan held back his temper. He hoped that Qiu'er was telling lies and that the child in Wang Jingxuan's belly was his.

"Why don't you take Madam Side's pulse quickly?"

Wang Jingxuan had to accept the reality and let two doctors check her pulse.

After the first one finished, he said:

"My lord, the baby in Mrs. Side's belly is more than seven months old. The fetal image is indeed a little unstable. Just take care of it."

Hearing that it was more than July, the last belief in Xiao Yan's heart collapsed. Today is the second day of July in Long Yuan Kingdom. Xiao Yan only favored Wang Jingxuan at the end of the Sixth Prince's rebellion. At the end of the first month, Xiao Yan handled government affairs three months ago. , Wang Jingxuan was reflecting in the ancestral hall.

After a while, the second doctor gave the exact same answer.

Xiao Yan held his hands and stood with his hands behind his back, while Wang Jingxuan sat on the stool with a pale face, thinking about how to explain this matter.
