He Yongye's expression changed as early as the woman appeared, and he tightly held the folding fan in his hand.

"My lord, this woman's surname is Li, and her name is Li Niang. She used to be a singer in a tea house, but was deceived by King He's rhetoric. After a spring breeze, the womb was darkened and she gave birth to a baby. All these things happened between me and He Jun. Before the county king gets married."

Zhang Zhifu obviously didn't expect things to go this way, first glanced at He Junwang, and then interrogated and asked: "That woman under the hall, is this true?"

Li Niang bowed carefully again, and said in a low voice: "My lord, you are telling the truth, and you are not lying. Back then... the county king was worried that the daughter would ruin his marriage, so he ordered the daughter to have an abortion. It's just that the daughter... ...I really couldn't bear to lose my child, so I secretly gave birth to the child."

"Later... the daughter of the people couldn't live, so she had to go to the He Mansion. Fortunately, Madam tolerated her, so she was able to survive."

He Yongye took a step forward and interrupted Li Niang's words, and said: "My lord, since this woman is a prostitute in a tea house, her status is not good, how can she be trusted? Even if the king's wife has helped her in a moment of soft-heartedness, it may not be the case. It can explain what happened to this king with her..."

"Does the lord deny it?" Xie Su tilted his head and said calmly: "Do you know why she didn't go to the lord? Since the lord was able to kill the son cruelly back then, she was naturally afraid that the lord would be cruel and end this dewy relationship, so she begged me Come here."

"If she hadn't produced evidence to prove her identity, how could I help her?"

In Xie Su's memory, about a year after Yuanshen and He Yongye got married, this woman came to see her with the child in her arms.It was only then that Yuanshen knew... the scumbag didn't have his whole heart for him.

It's just that the marriage was promised, and there were so many disputes, even Xie's family became a joke in the capital... How could he turn around?What's more, Yuanshen still has love for He Yongye.

Even if such a living evidence was in front of him, he could bear it.

Yuanshen himself was unable to bear children for He Yongye, and he couldn't bear to see He Yongye's children live in misery, so he could only allocate some silver taels every month to help secretly, pretending that he didn't know about it.

Li Niang is also smart, she knows that her own status is not enough to match the current county king, and the rumors of the king of He's doting on his wife are all over the capital...

She was afraid that if she showed up, she would be dealt with secretly by the king of the county, so she has been keeping herself safe for two years.

In her opinion, as long as her son grows up, even if the county king doesn't want to, she has to think about the child.

It is impossible for the two men to have offspring. By then, her child will not be the only hope of the county palace?

And with the young master of the Xie family occupying the position of the mistress of the He mansion, it is impossible for others to hook up with the county king.

It's just that Li Niang didn't expect that Master Xie's family would suddenly reconcile and leave, and even went to court!

But this may not be an opportunity for her.

The county prince was able to cover her up and deal with her secretly, but if everyone in the capital knew about it, she would be in no danger.

Leaving aside the rumors in the capital, if she died at the hands of the county king, how would her son think about this fact when he grows up?

Her child is now three years old, and she has been struggling for three years.If she misses this opportunity, she is afraid that only 15 years later, when her son grows up, can she get everything she wants!

Thinking of this, Li Niang took out something from her bosom, and said: "This is the prince's personal belongings that were accidentally lost on the side of the cave, please be aware of it, my lord."

It was a jade pendant.

Although there are many jade ornaments from powerful families, the meaning of this jade pendant is different.

This was a gift from the emperor after He Yongye won the top three places in a military election before the palace.

This kind of royal gift is not easily given to others, and it is common sense to say that it is left behind.

"I remember losing the imperial gift, what crime is it?" Xie Su slammed into the situation coolly at the side, and added: "My lord, don't say that I gave it to her, I remember that among the accessories of my lord, There is also a jade pendant that is exactly the same."

Xie Su guessed what was going on.

He Yongye lost the imperial gift and was afraid of being found in the wrong place, so he secretly copied a similar one, trying to hide it from the past.

The imitation must still be in the He residence, so this matter cannot be called Xie Su's intentional frame, after all, when He Yongye lost the jade pendant, the original body had not yet married into the He residence.

He Yongye gritted his teeth, turned around and approached Xie Su, and said: "This king can't bear the crime of losing the imperial gift. Haven't I found it now?"

"Even if this king has had sex with others, it was before marriage... There is no such regulation in my dynasty's regulations. What's more, if the wife has nothing to do after marriage, the husband can also take concubines!"

"What the lord said is reasonable." Zhang Zhifu stroked the mustache on his lips, nodded and said: "According to the rule of seven outs, the wife has nothing to do, and the husband is a concubine. If the wife refuses, the accomplice has nothing to do and be kind." Jealous of both..."

Xie Su can be regarded as knowing how much the status of being a wife restricts him.

Seeing that He Yongye put aside his affectionate personality and refused to reconcile, Xie Su raised his brows and said: "Lord Zhifu, my marriage with Hefu is in special circumstances... It is a special gift from the first queen mother. I Even if I am a man, is the law of this dynasty applicable? Can I also take a concubine?"

The He family's incense is incense, isn't the Xie family's incense?

Moreover, when the Empress Dowager bestowed the marriage, she only stated that "it is good to have two surnames", and there was no conclusion that He Yongye was a husband and Xie Su was a wife, it was just that the original body was willing to marry into the He family.

"This..." Zhang Zhifu was at a loss for words.

What happened back then, the Empress Dowager was just a decree to grant grace, how could she have expected the pile of lawsuits that followed?

Now even if you want to ask the Queen Mother for her opinion, there is no way... The Queen Mother has passed away, and this mess still has to be a headache for Zhang Zhifu.

"Back then, the Empress Dowager was looking at the deep affection of King He Jun, but I was determined to go my own way, so I made a decree to grant my request." Xie Su stood in the hall and argued with reason: "Now the King looks It doesn't seem so affectionate, and I don't insist on this matter anymore, is this marriage still necessary?"

He Yongye suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he said in the hall: "The empress dowager said golden words, since the decree has been issued, how can there be any reason to take it back? Thank you Su, don't despise the emperor's prestige!"

With a big hat on his head, Xie Su would not accept He Yongye's slander.

"Who is despising Huang Wei? Why didn't the county king tell the queen mother about his dewy love before marriage?"

He Yongye was so stunned that he was speechless, so he could only cup his hands and say to the magistrate: "Please judge!"

Xie Su also said: "Since this case has come to this point, I am afraid that the magistrate will not give a light sentence! This marriage was ordered by the empress dowager before, and now it should be decided by the emperor!"

Xie Su opened his mouth and brought up the case, and Zhang Zhifu's brow was sweating.

He really can't judge this matter... Thinking of this, Zhang Zhifu slapped the gavel and said: "This case will be forwarded to the imperial court, waiting for the emperor's judgment!"
