But now all that has changed.

Because Pei Jiuniang is in big trouble.

God knows how excited she was when she found out Pei Jiuniang was caught cheating on her husband.

retribution.

Everything is retribution.

She said that Pei Jiuniang was gentle and respectful before, but suddenly she seemed like a different person, which was definitely not normal.

It turns out that he has changed his heart, that's why he is so rampant.

Her mother said that this time she would make her vomit out everything she had eaten.

Thinking of this, Gu Pingting became proud again.

Pei Jiuniang looked at Gu Pingting jumping up and down. If someone didn't know, they would think she was playing tricks on her. This time, she couldn't bear it and directly retorted, "You didn't commit suicide, so why should I? Gu Pingting, do you think that no one knows about the things you did in Sucheng?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Pingting's face suddenly changed.

She looked at Pei Jiuniang in disbelief, not daring to think that she actually knew about her situation in Su City.

How could she know? How much did she know? Would she tell him directly?

For a moment, Gu Pingting suddenly regretted coming here.

But seeing everyone's curious looks, she still couldn't accept it, so she pretended to be fine and replied, "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't do anything shameless. Don't think that everyone is as shameless as you."

"You are so shameless when you talk about others. I have never seen anyone as shameless as you."

Pei Jiuniang sneered.

Gu Pingting became even more panicked. She always felt that Pei Jiuniang seemed to know a lot. No way, what would happen if she told it out?

Her mother would never forgive her.

At this moment, someone suddenly couldn't help but interrupt.

"Master Pei, we are the censors from the Censorate. We heard about your affair with Lord Liu. Since both you and Lord Liu hold official positions and have great influence, we from the Censorate are here to investigate. We hope you can cooperate."

Pei Jiuniang turned her eyes away and nodded slightly.

Liu on the side was impatient to express her opinion, "What else is there to investigate? The bellyband is hers, and there are letters as evidence. It is set in stone. What else do we need to investigate? Such an unvirtuous woman should be thrown into a pig cage."

Liu gritted her teeth.

"Yes, you should be put in a pig cage."

Gu Pingting also agreed.

Hearing what Liu said, the censor's face was also very bad, but he still said, "The pig cage has been abandoned, but if it is true, you can write a divorce letter."

Hearing this, although Liu was a little unwilling, she still nodded.

"She can't just be divorced. She is still a teacher and holds an official position. Her official position was granted by His Majesty himself. If she does this, she is simply betraying the Emperor's grace and deceiving the Emperor..."

Before Zhong Rong could finish, Liu Xiao said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? How is it related to deceiving the emperor? Don't make things difficult for Jiu Niang. This is all my fault..."

"At this time, you are still on the side of this bitch, Liu Xiao, you are going too far. What, you want to divorce me and marry her?"

Hearing this, Liu Xiao shook his sleeves in frustration, making him look angry and anxious, but it seemed to be what Zhong Rong said.

Those present started discussing again.

After all, Liu Xiao was too protective of Pei Jiuniang, and he never denied it, which almost meant he admitted those things.

The censors all looked unhappy, some even couldn't help showing contempt, showing no respect at all for Pei Jiuniang.

"Master Pei, what do you say?"

"How do you say what?"

Pei Jiuniang's expression remained unchanged.

"It's about the bellyband and the letter, what do you say?"

The censor didn't want to make it too clear. After all, it was not very decent for a censor to deal with such a matter of adultery between a man and a woman. But then again, they were all officials in the court, and the matter was a big one, so they had their reasons to come forward.

In fact, in their opinion, there is really nothing more to say.

But Pei Jiuniang's attitude was ambiguous and she never acknowledged it.

But some people firmly believe that Pei is innocent.

Even His Majesty knew about it.

They have no choice but to not care.

"I don't know. It has nothing to do with me."

Pei Jiuniang remained indifferent.

"What do you mean it has nothing to do with you? The small words on the bellyband aren't yours? Or are they your words? The Jiu'er in the letter isn't you?"

Zhong Rong was filled with righteous indignation and pointed at Pei Jiuniang.

"So, Jiu'er has an improper relationship with your husband? And I have to write every day. If someone imitates me, can they blame me? Besides, the letter was written by your husband, not by me. What makes you conclude that I seduced your husband? Maybe your husband is plotting to frame me because he can't get the love he wants?"

After hearing this, Zhong Rong was speechless.

After all, she only found the letter Liu Xiao wrote to Pei Jiuniang, but did not find the letter Pei Jiuniang wrote to Liu Xiao.

But even so, she still felt that if it weren't for Pei Jiuniang's seduction, Liu Xiao would not have thought so much.

But she couldn't say that.

Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, Liu became unhappy.

"A fly won't bite an egg without cracks. If you didn't deliberately seduce him and use your seductive skills, how could he write those love letters to you?"

After this was said, everyone felt that it made some sense.

Pei Jiuniang sneered, "According to what you said, if someone loves another person, then the other person must have seduced them first? Then if I also have someone write a letter to you, mother-in-law, it would also be you who seduced them first?"

"You?! Pei Jiuniang, you actually dared to make up stories about your mother-in-law. You all saw it, she is truly unfaithful and unfilial..."

"Why, if the same thing happens to you, mother-in-law, it means I am unfaithful and unfilial, but if it happens to me, it means I am deliberately seducing her. How can such a thing be possible in the world?"

Pei Jiuniang asked with a cold face.

"Nine Lady, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have done that, but I didn't expect that I would actually hurt you..."

When everything was going well, Liu Xiao's words made everyone think more.

Liu Xiao is an official after all, there is no reason for him to slander Pei Jiuniang.

Moreover, even though Zhong Rong had such a quarrel with him, he still protected Pei Jiuniang. This affection must be real.

Zhong Rong was even more enraged and yelled at Pei Jiuniang again and again.

Pei Jiuniang's face also looked very ugly.

After all, Liu Xiao is the culprit of all this.

If it weren't for his ambiguous attitude, which gave people room to imagine, things wouldn't have come to this.

Thinking of this, she turned around with a cold face and looked at Liu Xiao.

"Master Liu, you keep saying that you are doing this for my own good, and that it's all your fault. But if you really want to do this for my own good, you should clearly say that you have nothing to do with me, instead of saying it with an ambiguous attitude, making people think that I have a relationship with you..."

"I. I didn't mean it, Jiu Niang, I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself..."

"you?"

When Zhong Rong saw that Liu Xiao, who was cold to her, behaved like this in front of Pei Jiuniang, she was furious.

"Whether it was involuntary or deliberate misleading, you know it in your heart. I just want to ask you, are you sure that the bellyband was given to you by me?"

"This, I...I didn't mean to..."

"Okay, I see. You are going to slander me to the end."

Pei Jiuniang's eyes were cold, which made Liu Xiao panic, but he quickly calmed down and hurriedly shook his head to explain, "Jiu Niang, I'm sorry..."

"No, I don't dare to accept what you said now, and you are never worthy of saying sorry to me, but, have you ever thought about..."

Halfway through her speech, Pei Jiuniang suddenly remembered something and asked the censor, "Censor, just now you said that if I really did it, you would dismiss me and remove me from my official position. Then can I ask, what if it is finally determined that someone deliberately slandered me?"

"What do you want?"

When the censor heard her ask this, he also had doubts in his heart. Since ancient times, if a woman was caught having an affair, she would be scared to death, but Pei was really not like that.

"If it is proven that I was cheating on my husband, the Gu family, and His Majesty, I will die to atone for my crime. But if someone deliberately frames me, destroys my innocence, discredits my Gu family, and destroys the talent that His Majesty values, then please let him die to atone for his crime as well."

Hearing this, the censor was stunned.

Liu and Liu Xiao's expressions became a little tense.

But Zhong Rong refused to do it.

"Why? Why should he die to atone for his crime? Now that we understand, everyone will be happy..."

"Why? Are you scared? Do you also feel that I was wronged, but you still made a big fuss about it? Do you think that as long as you make a big fuss, no matter whether it is true or not, my reputation will be ruined? But how can such a trivial thing happen in the world? Why should I be smeared and slandered when I am innocent?"

"Who slandered?"

"If you are so sure, why don't you dare to gamble?!"
