Chapter 125 2 Actors
"Your Majesty, is this matter to be ended so hastily?" Lady Tini was dressed in a cream-colored gauze dress, with a skirt adorned with lilac-purple floral ribbons tied around a wide crinoline, making her look incredibly gorgeous and grand.
She's been wearing these youthful colors lately. The emperor stroked his chin and sneered inwardly. Nouveau riche families really don't have any real substance. Their pampered daughter has poor taste, a narrow vision, and no self-awareness.
Even though she had been in the royal court for so many years, she hadn't made any progress. Her husband was truly guilty, for he hadn't given his wife any useful guidance and had even conspired with other husbands to let her do as she pleased.
So, she was wearing an inappropriate dress, standing there like a turkey with a peacock's tail feathers, and that was part of her responsibility.
Tsk.
"Then take a look for yourself." The emperor showed no emotion on his face. He looked at his wife warmly and handed her the letter that Keslan had given him.
"With transactions like these, what charges do you expect me to bring against you two? Including..."
“Your nephew previously said that Lord Chen Xin abused and humiliated him, treating him like a plaything. But look at this letter; the evidence on it is completely different.”
"That Lord Chen Xin has spent a fortune on Zhong Qin, and he's currently fabricating an identity for him."
How could this be? Lady Tini trembled as she held the letter. How could the Emperor obtain such evidence in just a few days? Zhong Qin had destroyed all the evidence in Chen Xin's possession. Why could the letter from the "Owl" organization fall into the Emperor's hands so easily?
"This is impossible... This letter must be fake, Your Majesty. Someone must have done this on purpose. Think about it, how could it be possible that exactly what we need would appear without a single missing letter?" Lady Tinie forced a smile, trying to persuade the emperor.
The emperor sat on his throne, his fingers tapping calmly on the armrest of the chair: "That's also possible."
Before Lady Tiny could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Emperor smiled and said, "But there is another possibility: your husband, after all, is the Emperor of the Ocean Empire, isn't he?"
"I want to thoroughly investigate all of a person's life information. Do you think deliberate fabrication and concealment can fool me? Besides, these are just a few letters."
Mrs. Tinie was struck dumb by his meaningful words.
What does he mean by this? Whom did he investigate thoroughly? Whose identity was fabricated?
Zhong Qin?
But how could that be? Leaving aside the fact that she had already made all the arrangements, how could this mediocre and incompetent emperor have such a brilliant mind? For all these years, she had been leading him by the nose; she had long since cultivated a loyal following within the palace who would only obey her.
What use was this emperor, the weakest in history? He only knew how to be fraternal and equal with his ministers, completely unaware that he was being cuckolded countless times. Yet, he still treated her kindly and coaxed her every day, offering her the best food, clothing, and necessities, just to make her smile.
Thinking this way, Mrs. Tiny's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, settled back down. She comforted herself, telling herself not to think of the simpleton as too unfathomable. She was his wife, and no one knew him better than her. There was no need to scare herself unnecessarily.
"So these things can't be taken out, otherwise General Jiang Ren and his men will kill us." The emperor stared intently at the constantly changing expressions on Lady Tini's face, finding it extremely interesting.
"Let's just say there's not enough evidence and release them quickly," he said deliberately.
As expected, Mrs. Tiny was extremely pleased with herself. Look, even though she knew it was a setup and a frame-up, this fool was still willing to clean up her mess. Unfortunately, she couldn't let it go so easily.
"Your Majesty, then let's say we've wronged Lord Chen Xin. Who told her to have those terrifying and perverted fetishes? She secretly made a deal with 'Owl' to actually give my poor nephew a legitimate identity. My nephew will probably suffer less if he hears about it."
Mrs. Tiny sat down on the chair to the side; the dress was so heavy it was making her feel exhausted.
“But I have evidence to prove that Lord Jiang Yu truly doesn’t care about human lives.” Lady Tini leaned forward, her nostrils flaring slightly, as if she were extremely anxious.
"Is that so?" the emperor asked curiously. "In comparison, I am more curious about why you seem to hate Jiang Yu so much, since this is your first time meeting her. Anyone who didn't know better would think you wish she were dead."
"Is it simply because you favor the child from the Ren family?"
of course not.
Lady Tiny sneered inwardly. How could that fool from the Ren family deserve her true affection? Looking at the Emperor's curious gaze, she recalled the day she reported on her duties, when that radiant young woman sat there, receiving praise and compliments from everyone, even the Emperor's eyes filled with undisguised admiration.
If a woman doesn't enjoy wealth and luxury but insists on being the best in terms of political achievements and abilities, what's the point of having men? Does she want to overshadow other women?
This reminded her of someone else. A shadow that loomed over her entire childhood and adolescence.
They are just as repulsive.
She couldn't overthrow the mountain that was above her back then, but now she can easily crush another one, which is a kind of joy in life.
If there's any benefit that power has brought her over the years, it must be the thrill of manipulating other people's fates.
"I'm just disappointed. At first, I was just as full of admiration and hope for Lord Jiangyu as you are now. But that's precisely why it hurts so much to learn that all that glamorous facade was just a facade, and that he was actually so filthy in private. The feeling of being deceived is especially painful."
"Like you, I wanted to uncover the truth to clear her name, but I never expected to dig up something even more incredible. Your Majesty, aren't you curious?"
"This time I've found a poor but courageous witness who will tell us everything!"
The emperor almost applauded his wife; her impeccable logic was truly remarkable. However, he had to suppress his delight and continue the charade.
"What an understanding and thoughtful woman!" the emperor exclaimed. "Then where is this witness?"
“Your Majesty, I have already had her brought to the palace and settled in properly. Here’s what I’m thinking: since this concerns Lord Jiang Yu’s reputation, why don’t we invite Lord Jiang Yu to confront her face to face, and also have her relatives present? After all, she is our esteemed lord, and we can’t let the witnesses speak carelessly, can we?”
She's truly considerate; who can find fault with this arrangement? This is a crucial part of her plan, and everyone needs to be present.
Mrs. Tini sat there, swaying back and forth impatiently.
"Then Your Majesty, let's resolve this as soon as possible. The lords' families are anxious, and the two lords are also very worried. Please set a date as soon as possible."
The emperor stood up and stretched: "Then tomorrow. I'm too lazy to question that panicked witness alone. I'll just send someone to summon the general and the others to the palace first thing tomorrow morning and settle this matter."
