Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Chapter 214 Liang's Counterattack

Liang knelt on the ground and recounted what happened yesterday from beginning to end.

After hearing this, the prefect patted the stick and asked in a deep voice.

"Then you saw the eldest princess and Prince Zheng doing something improper with your own eyes?"

"When I rushed in despite being stopped, the two of them were hurriedly putting on their clothes. Isn't this proof enough?"

Liang looked at the prefect with tears in her eyes. Did she have to see with her own eyes the two of them doing that dirty thing?

The prefect touched his nose guiltily and looked at the eldest princess.

"Princess, can you tell me what happened?"

Nan Rongwan snorted coldly, "This princess and Prince Zheng met only to discuss matters, and did not do anything shameful."

"As for what Madam saw, it was because my clothes got wet accidentally when I was drinking, and the prince was just wiping them for me."

"You can even tell such a lie. Do you think I'm a fool, Princess?"

Liang looked at her sarcastically.

Nan Rongwan frowned slightly and sneered, "Why would this princess lie? My husband and I are newlyweds and have a deep affection for each other. How could I possibly do something that would let him down?"

"You want to destroy your husband because you can't please him, but you should never pull me down. You beat me, and I will punish you for your crime."

Nan Rongwan's words were righteous and oppressive. If she were just an ordinary person, she would have been frightened by her aura.

But Liang only looks weak, but she is actually an extremely strong person inside.

"I don't need to say much about what kind of person the eldest princess is. Everyone knows it."

The fact that Nan Rongwan kept a lover was indeed known to everyone, and she had always had a bad reputation among the people.

Therefore, the fact that she committed adultery with Prince Zheng did not actually need to be tried, and everyone believed it to be true.

What's more, many people saw what happened in the inn yesterday.

Liang turned to look at Zheng Xiao again, "My Lord, do you have anything to say in your defense?"

"You evil woman, you slandered me and the princess. I will divorce you."

Zheng Xiao glared at her fiercely. He never expected that a wife who was usually so obedient to him would suddenly pounce on him and bite him.

Thinking that Liang loved him dearly and was willing to seduce him in order to marry him, he thought that as long as he said he wanted to divorce her, she would stop.

However, he had never truly understood the wife in front of him.

Liang looked at the two shameless queens and sneered, "Since you both don't admit it, I will continue."

"You and Nan Rongwan started doing indecent things six years ago. Every once in a while, you would meet in a yard on the back street in the north of the city."

"Four years ago, your last wife, my elder sister, discovered your affair. In order to cover up your scandal, you poisoned her to death. Every word you said is true. There are witnesses and evidence. I hope the prefect will investigate it."

After saying that, Liang took out a few pieces of paper from her body. Upon seeing this, the lawyer hurried forward and presented them to the prefect.

The more the prefect looked, the more frightened he became. He glanced at the eldest prince with a guilty conscience and nodded slightly at him.

The eldest prince was angry. He knew that what Liang said was true, but he never expected that she could find evidence.

He glared at Zheng Xiao. He couldn't even handle such a small matter. It would really cause trouble for him.

Seeing this, Nan Rongwan and Zheng Xiao could no longer remain calm. As long as they did not admit to something like adultery, they could still cover it up.

But if someone kills someone, even if he is a princess, he cannot escape punishment.

Zheng Xiao stepped forward and grabbed Liang fiercely, "You married this prince to avenge your sister. You have been by my side for the past few years, collecting evidence. How can you be so vicious?"

He was actually deceived by her.

"Do you really think I love you madly?" Liang sneered.

"Zheng Xiao, every day I'm with you, I feel sick and nauseous. I wish I could kill you with my own hands, but I know I can't kill you yet. I want to give justice to my sister and the child in her belly."

"What did you say?" Zheng Xiao frowned. What child? He didn't have any child.

Liang laughed loudly, "My sister was pregnant at the time. She was poisoned by you before she could share the good news with you. You killed your own child, your only child, with your own hands."

She said a little crazily, "You will never have children again."

"What do you mean, you vicious woman, what did you do?"

Zheng Xiao looked at her as if she were a monster. This wife whom he had never taken a fancy to before turned out to be a poisonous snake lurking by his side.

"When I first entered the mansion, I poisoned you. It will make you infertile. I will make sure you will never have children in your life."

Liang said softly, "This is all retribution for you."

"What a vicious woman." Zheng Xiao was so angry that he slapped her hard, knocking her to the ground.

When the onlookers saw Liang being bullied, they all began to cry out for justice.

"This Prince Zheng is so vicious. He committed adultery with the princess and even killed his wife and children. He has no conscience."

"Isn't it? The Crown Prince's wife did nothing wrong in avenging her sister."

"The prince dared to do such a violent thing in the hall. If he were at home, who knows how he would beat up the prince's wife."

Seeing this, the prefect quickly said, "Zheng Xiao, don't fight in the court. Kneel down now."

"You..." Zheng Xiao looked at the prefect in disbelief. Who was he to dare to make him kneel?

Seeing that he still couldn't figure out the situation, the prefect simply waved his hand, and the officers on both sides immediately stepped forward and forced him to the ground.

Nan Rongwan understood that the evidence Liang had just presented was enough to convict Zheng Xiao, otherwise the prefect would not have turned against him so quickly.

She quickly defended herself, "This princess knows nothing about the murder of Daliang, and I didn't participate in it. It has nothing to do with me."

At that time, she only sent someone to deliver a bottle of poison to Zheng Xiao, and she did not do anything, so it was impossible for Liang to find evidence against her.

She was right. The evidence in Liang's hands was enough to prove that her sister was killed by Zheng Xiao, but it could not prove that the eldest princess was involved.

"Prince, you see, you are just a chess piece that can be discarded at any time."

Liang looked at Zheng Xiao sarcastically.

Zheng Xiao didn't expect that the eldest princess would abandon him so quickly. He looked at the eldest prince, trying to find an answer.

As long as she insisted that Nan Rongwan was involved, she would have no chance of getting away with it cleanly.

The eldest prince knew what he was thinking and gave him a reassuring look.
