How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

"Regent, you ask this..." Even Qiu Wenqi was dumbfounded.

Why did the second prince suddenly ask such a secret question?

How embarrassing it is for girls to discuss such private matters in class!

"Brother, what does my second brother want to do?" Xie Zimiao was a little confused and couldn't help but ask Xie Shoujun beside him.

In order to support his second brother and shock those ministers who were ready to make moves, he dragged Xie Shoujun to court every day.

Xie Shoujun glanced at Hou Wende, who was constantly making small movements and looked very nervous, and then he thought about it, "Maybe he wanted to see whether the Qiu family's three years of no children was a coincidence or deliberate."

When Xie Chengze was writing biology textbooks in Wude Hall, he had read the contents inside. It said that women's pregnancy period after the end of menstruation is divided into a difficult pregnancy period and an easy pregnancy period. If Hou Wende had sex during the difficult pregnancy period, then Qiu would naturally have difficulty getting pregnant.

However, looking at Hou Wende's appearance, perhaps there is another hidden story.

"Don't panic, everyone." Xie Chengze waved his hand, signaling them to stay calm, and then said with a serious face, "I know a little bit about medicine, maybe I can cure the infertility of the Qiu family. If you find Erchun in the future, your Qiu family will not have to be criticized for concealing it, isn't it great?"

Xie Zimiao slapped his hands and suddenly realized, "Yes! Second brother knows medical skills!"

I remember that time, my second brother did take his pulse!

Seeing what Xie Zimiao said, the ministers couldn't help but believe it a little. After all, the simple and kind Fourth Prince never lied. He said that the Second Prince knew medicine, and maybe the Second Prince really could.

Xie Chengze cleared his throat and said, "Ms. Qiu, since you have been childless for three years, you must have seen many doctors. What did the doctors say?"

Hearing this, Hou Wende's eyes flickered.

Qiu Ziqin bit her lip and said, "The doctor said that there is nothing wrong with my daughter's body."

"Oh?" Xie Chengze turned to look at Hou Wende, "Hou Wende, have you seen a doctor?"

"You are joking, sir." Hou Wende quickly smiled, "My concubine has given birth to two sons for me, so she is naturally fine."

"That's not necessarily true." Xie Chengze shook his head, "What if those two children are not yours?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everything became silent +1.

Many ministers have silently lowered their heads and their shoulders have begun to tremble.

No...their Second Prince really dares to say anything!

"Your Excellency's words..." Hou Wende's face turned green. "Although I am of low rank and have little say, I cannot tolerate such slander! My son looks exactly like me, so how could he not be my child!"

"Oh?" Xie Chengze asked doubtfully, "According to what you said, you and your brother look alike, so your son must look alike, so your son could also be your brother's offspring? You and your father look alike, so your son must look alike, so your son could also be your father's offspring?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everything became silent +2.

More and more ministers lowered their heads, their limbs trembled violently, and their mouths opened wide.

The Second Prince obviously meant that the child from the concubine might be the son of Hou Wende's brother or his father!

Isn't this too outrageous? Only the Second Prince can think this way!

Hou Wende was so angry that he almost died. So was Hou Yuanzhen. He was so angry at these outrageous remarks that his lips trembled. He said angrily, "Regent! How can you talk nonsense like this!"

However, he did not notice that his concubine Lin, who was lying on the ground, was trembling all over and almost fainting from fear.

At this time, Xie Chengze slammed the desk and said in shock, "Lin! Tell the truth!"

Lin was trembling with fear, she had never seen such a scene before, tears immediately rolled down her face, and she kowtowed desperately, "I, my humble slave, was also forced! Sir, please spare my life! It was all because of the master's brother and his father who forced me to do this!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all was silent.

Hou Wende turned his head suddenly and looked towards the outer room with horror.

Hou Yuanzhen was also struck by lightning and was shaken to the spot. Although he seemed to be still alive, his soul had actually left his body.

The ministers even whispered inwardly and looked up at Lin in disbelief.

"You, what did you say?!" Hou Wende said hoarsely, looking at Lin fiercely, "What nonsense are you talking about! Are you trying to kill yourself? How could you possibly have anything to do with my brother, me, and them!"

"Slave, slave..." Lin was sobbing and gasping for breath, "Master... I was forced to do this. I also want to give birth to children for you, but, but..."

"Oh? But what?" Xie Chengze asked with great interest, "But Hou Wende's health is not good?"

Hou Wende shuddered and said quickly, "Absolutely not!"

"Ms. Qiu, you haven't answered me yet, how often do you and Hou Wende have sex?" Xie Chengze turned his head and asked Qiu Ziqin.

Qiu Ziqin was also dumbfounded. She stared at Lin blankly. After a long time, she remembered something and looked at Hou Wende in astonishment, her sight falling on a certain part of Hou Wende.

Hou Wende subconsciously put his legs together.

"My husband and I...had sex once a month for the first three months after we got married, but after that, we stopped having sex."

As soon as these words came out, the whole world was no longer silent. "Once a month? Who would do it so often for a newly married couple?"

"How can she get pregnant if they don't sleep together? It's not that Qiu can't get pregnant, but Hou Wende didn't give her any chance at all!"

"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't going to work, is it?"

The ministers discussed the matter in detail, and all looked at Hou Wende with meaningful eyes.

"Qiu Ziqin! Don't talk nonsense!" Hou Wende's face turned pale and he angrily yelled at Qiu Ziqin, "It's obviously you who didn't lay eggs! I clearly had sex with you once every three days! Everyone in the mansion knows this!"

"Sir! If you don't believe me, you can go to the Marquis' Mansion and ask! The maids and servants all know that I sleep with my wife once every three days!"

Since he dared to say so, it proved that it was true.

"Oh?" Xie Chengze showed a surprised look, "Qiu, how do you defend yourself?"

Qiu Ziqin bit her lip, "My little girl..."

She closed her eyes, obviously finding it difficult to speak, and looked at Lin again. Receiving her gaze, Lin lowered his head in panic and knelt on the ground, tears dripping onto the ground.

"Qiu, answer your question." Xie Chengze slammed the desk again, "If you have nothing to say, I will sentence the Marquis to divorce your wife, and your reputation will have nothing to do with me in the future!"

Qiu Ziqin comes from a scholarly family, and reputation is important to a woman like her. If her reputation of being childless is confirmed today, the entire court will know that she is a hen that can't lay eggs. Given the character of the Marquis's Mansion, they will surely spread the news widely, and she will never be able to go out in the capital again.

When she was preparing to divorce Hou Wende, the two had already reached the point of a life-and-death feud.

"Qin'er." Qiu Wenqi squatted down and held her hand. "What on earth can't you say?"

"Madam!" Hou Wende wanted to say something, but Qiu Wenqi kicked him away, "Get out of the way! Don't talk to my daughter!"

Hou Wende had no choice but to shout, "Madam! A day of marriage is a hundred days of grace! Although I have made mistakes, I am also tolerating you! If you are not incapable, how could I do that! Even so, I still love you, don't I!"

Qiu Ziqin bit her lip hard, her expression becoming more and more painful, "I, I...is it really my fault..."
