Zhong Rong was speechless after being asked by Pei Jiuniang.

For some reason, her confident look made Zhong Rong feel a little uneasy.

But the more she hesitated, the more guilty she seemed in the eyes of people around her.

Some people even started speaking in Pei Jiuniang's favor.

"I just think it's impossible for Master Pei. One is a marquis, with great military achievements and a handsome appearance, while the other is just a fifth-rank official, and there's no comparison in appearance..."

Hearing this, Zhong Rong became even more panicked.

Pei Jiuniang took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy.

"Yes, anyone with eyes can see that my husband is much better in every way. What reason do I have to give up my husband and not want him?!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Liu Xiao with disdain.

Liu Xiao gnashed his teeth in hatred, but he didn't show it on his face, still looking infatuated. "Jiu Niang, I'm not good, I'm not worthy of you, I shouldn't..."

Pei Jiuniang tried her best to hold back and didn't vomit. She said contemptuously, "Yeah, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see what kind of character you have. Are you worthy of me? How dare you compare yourself with my husband?!

And you, you like this thing, so you think everyone is competing with you for it.

Today I realized that you two are really a perfect match, one is shameless and the other is extremely stupid. "

Then, he glanced at them coldly again, "One word, do you dare? What?"

"Nine Lady, this is all my fault. I am the one who should die to atone for my sin..."

No matter what Pei Jiuniang said, Liu Xiao just looked affectionate.

The people around were stunned again.

Pei Jiuniang was too lazy to argue with him and just spat.

"Being slandered by a toad like you is giving me nightmares."

Having said that, she turned to the censors and the elders of the Gu family.

"I, Pei Jiuniang, am upright and have never done anything wrong. I swear to heaven that if this is true, I am willing to die."

As he spoke, he glanced coldly at Liu Xiao and Zhong Rong, "And some people, forget it, they are such cowards. If they can't get what they want, they like to use despicable means to destroy the other party."

As soon as these words were spoken, people around started discussing it again.

Some people even shouted at Liu Xiao.

"Master Liu, if you have the guts, swear as well. If..."

"I've already said it, it's all my fault. Why bother Jiu Niang? Jiu Niang is a woman, her reputation is so important..."

He stared at Zhong Rong fiercely and asked, "Have you had enough of this?"

This made Zhong Rong, who had been wondering whether Pei Jiuniang really didn't have any misunderstandings, make up her mind completely.

"Well, if I have slandered you, I will die as atonement."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiao's face froze and his lips trembled, but he said nothing.

He just swung his sleeves fiercely at Zhong Rong, "You are stubborn and recalcitrant."

Liu was in no mood to watch them swear an oath or die to atone for their sins.

She couldn't wait to nail Pei Jiuniang to the pillar of shame and defeat her completely.

"Mrs. Pei Jiu, don't do these things to confuse people. I have been with you for many years, and I don't know that you are good at pretending to be righteous. If you really want to prove your innocence, explain clearly what happened to the bellyband and the letter?!"

Hearing this, Pei Jiuniang let out a long sigh and was about to explain when she heard Liu's sarcastic voice.

"Why are you speechless? I knew it would be like this, so you were just pretending before. Pei Jiuniang, today I will give you a divorce letter on behalf of my son..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that the atmosphere was wrong. She was stunned for a moment, and following everyone's gaze, she saw Gu Tingzhi walking to the door of the hall.

Gu Tingzhi had a cold face and looked unapproachable.

As soon as he appeared, everyone turned their eyes to him unnaturally.

But no one expected that he would actually walk straight to Pei Jiuniang.

Liu had her back to him and couldn't see his expression. She thought he was finally disappointed with Pei Jiuniang and couldn't hide her excitement. "Tingzhi, I said we can't have this woman..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Tingzhi turned around and stared at her with cold eyes, emphasizing each word, "She is my, Gu Tingzhi's, only wife, and the mistress of my mansion. Who dares to give her a divorce letter!"

"But she gave you..."

Liu blurted out.

But he was interrupted by Gu Tingzhi, "I think you know exactly what's going on."

Hearing this, Liu panicked, but then calmed down. She wanted to say something, but Gu Tingzhi did not give her a chance.

"The one with the word nine is my wife's? But as far as I know, there is another small word in my wife's yard that is also Jiu'er's? And my wife is kind-hearted. She always gives the unused fabric to the servants. If anyone wants my wife's words, she will be generous too!"

"As for the letters, my wife had many admirers before she got married. After she got married, some people admired her. Could it be that all the admirers secretly wrote letters to her, and that my wife had an improper relationship with them?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Zhong Rong reacted most strongly and could not help but retort, "You don't want the Marquis' Mansion to lose face, so you defend her and bribe the servants to take the responsibility, but..."

"According to what you said, if the bellyband has the word Rong embroidered on it, it's yours. What a coincidence. There happens to be someone in my house whose nickname is also Rong. Does that mean that you also have an improper relationship with the groom who keeps horses in my house?"

After these words were spoken, Zhong Rong's face became extremely ugly.

The people around couldn't help but whisper.

The censor already knew that there was something fishy going on. It was obvious that Gu Tingzhi knew something, and he spoke hurriedly.

"My Lord, please speak."
