After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

The emperor instructed the officials sent by the Three Judicial Departments, "With so many people watching, the outcome of the trial will not only affect your personal image and prestige."

"It also concerns the imperial court and the three judicial departments."

The three officials hurriedly bowed, "Yes! We understand, Your Majesty, rest assured!"

Three officials sat together in front of the hall. Tong Hanqing, the father of Tong Wanyu, the Dali Temple official who sat in the middle, slammed the gavel and said, "The court is open!"

Gu Qingshan was brought to the hall, and Song Mingli and Prince Jing also entered the hall.

Because the two cases were tried together, Prince Jing was also directly related to this case.

But he was a prince after all, and he had the privilege of sitting in the court to listen to the trial.

Gu Qingshan knelt in the hall, Song Mingli stood aside, and Chu Yanchen had already sat down.

When the people saw what was happening in the hall, they immediately started to whisper and discuss.

"Have you heard? The eldest son of the Gu family is actually the son of Prince Jing!"

"Didn't Mrs. Song want to divorce her husband a while ago, saying that the Gu family cheated her into marriage, causing a lot of uproar?"

"I didn't expect that her son is not a member of the Gu family! Who is deceiving whom?"

"This woman is really bold! She is not only not covering up her own misconduct, but she also wants to divorce her husband and make a big fuss about it! She is treating this government office as her own, isn't it?"

"After all, I have curried favor with Prince Jing! Who is Prince Jing? He is the Beili God of War, and Prince Jing is injured, so he will never have an heir in the future!"

"She now admits that her son is Prince Jing's child! That's really precious!"

Outside the yamen, people were talking and their voices were getting louder and louder.

The yamen, which is usually majestic, is as bustling as a vegetable market at this moment.

"In this royal family and the Marquis' Mansion, there are two men competing for one woman. It's really rare!"

"Since ancient times, such things have been covered up for fear that people would know about it, but now it is being tried in public! This really opens our eyes!"

"How beautiful must Song be to have Prince Jing accompany her, so embarrassing?"

There's too much chatter outside.

Tong Hanqing had no choice but to pick up the gavel and slam it down, "Silence! Silence!"

"If anyone outside the hall cannot keep quiet, the government will expel them!"

"Shh - stop making noise, stop making noise, and stop talking."

"This is a rare excitement, I won't be able to watch it later!"

The people outside the hall who were watching the fun immediately widened their curious and gossipy eyes and closed their mouths in heated discussion.

The face of Empress Chenfei in the back hall had completely darkened.

She stood up suddenly and didn't even want to attend the trial. It was so embarrassing!

The discussions of the people outside have already reached the back hall!

Chu Yanchen was really out of his mind! Why did he want to have this case tried publicly? Did he really have no scruples and didn't care if people poked his back and laughed at him?

Empress Chenfei's chest heaved violently with anger. She should have sentenced Song Mingli to death in the palace!

If Song Mingli died, there wouldn’t be so many things!

There wouldn’t be the public embarrassment happening today!

The Concubine Chen clenched the handkerchief in her hand. She was about to take her leave and return to the palace first.

The emperor reached out and took her hand, pulling her to sit down, "Since you are here, why don't you listen?"

The Concubine Chen glared at the Emperor angrily.

My son acts foolishly, so I follow suit!

The emperor also agreed to a public trial and asked the three courts to hold a joint trial! He wanted to let everyone in and outside the court know about this embarrassing thing!

With such excitement, how could the Third Prince not come and see it in person?

He hid in plain clothes among the crowd of onlookers, who were so many people outside the yamen.

The tone of the crowd changed from "The Song family girl was so badly cheated" a few days ago to "This woman is two-timing and unfaithful to her husband."

Since the people do not know the whole truth, they naturally have poor discernment and are inclined to follow blindly.

The reversal of the rumors here is all thanks to the third prince.

"The three courts will hold a joint trial, and it will be an open trial. Even the government offices have to take public opinion into consideration."

"Song Mingli was not a good wife and committed adultery. This is an act that will arouse public anger."

"If the Three Courts do not give a heavy sentence to Song Mingli, the people's spit will drown the Three Courts!"

"Chu Yanchen, ah Chu Yanchen, you dug this hole yourself."

As the third prince listened to the "voices" of the people around him, the smile on his face grew wider.

The trial in court finally officially began.

Gu Qingshan glanced at Song Mingli.

He curled his lips in a cold smile, "If the Gu family is destroyed and I am not doing well, then no one will be doing well! Song Mingli, if I die, you must be buried with me!"

"Who is here?" Tong Hanqing asked in a voice as loud as a bell and majestically.

Everyone inside and outside the hall knew who these people were, but this was just a routine procedure.

The two cases were tried together, and many details in the two cases were mixed together.

First, Song Mingli accused Gu Qingshan of using favors to get married, but in fact he had been secretly having an affair with his cousin Su Yi. When he proposed to her, Su Yi was already pregnant.

At this point in the trial, Su Yi, Gu Huai, Gu Jia and Jing You were all summoned to the court.

Gu Huai is half a year older than Jingyou.

For children aged six or seven, the half-year age difference is actually not very noticeable.

What's more, Jingyou is half a head taller than Gu Huai.

But the people from Gu Qingshan’s hometown were quietly brought to the capital in advance and settled in secret.

At this time, a maid was summoned to the court to testify, confirming that Gu Huai was indeed born half a year earlier than Jingyou.

"It was full-term! I delivered the baby for her! The boy is so plump and white, and weighed six kilograms when he was born!" said the old lady from the Gu family.

"Qingshan is a good man!"

"He stayed with his wife and children the whole time. Most men would not go into the delivery room for fear of getting stained with blood."

"He didn't care about that! He rushed in excitedly, comforting his wife and hugging his son."

"He took good care of the baby during the confinement period, getting up in the middle of the night to change the baby's diaper..."

"Although there are maids, he said that as a father, he should do these things!"

"He said that Yi'er suffered a lot when she gave birth to his child, and he felt sorry for Yi'er and her child if he didn't do something!"

The old lady from the Gu clan was clearly praising Gu Qingshan.

She didn't understand why everyone in and outside the hall fell silent after she finished speaking.

Even the three adults sitting in the hall found it ironic.

Gu Qingshan really cares for his mistress and her son.

"Old lady, take a look, are the woman and her son you mentioned here in the classroom?" asked Lord Tong.

"Yes, isn't this it!" The old woman pointed at Su Yi and Gu Huai.

"Then do you know that she is not Gu Qingshan's wife at all, but his cousin?"

"She is his cousin! But she is also his wife! He calls her Madam every day, so how can she not be his wife?" said the old woman.

Song Mingli pulled the corner of his mouth, "I never knew that Gu Lang was so good at taking care of people?"

"When I was eight or nine months pregnant, I was still serving my mother-in-law and tending to her illness."

"Obviously, there are maids in the Marquis' Mansion, but my mother-in-law said that others are not as attentive as I am, and they don't take care of me as thoroughly as I do... It turns out that they are from the same lineage."

The people outside the hall were speechless at this moment.

She wanted to defend Gu Qingshan, but he eloped after marriage, abandoned his wife, and took good care of his mistress.

His legally married wife was now pregnant and serving his parents.
