Chapter 445: Duke Dingguo is such a good storyteller, so the teahouse should have good business

"Look at me, do I look like your first wife who was bullied to death by your mother-in-law and concubines!" Yun Xuanmo said, and kicked Si Bochuan, who had a look of shock on his face and eyes wide open.

Si Bochuan, who was kneeling upright, was kicked backward and fell on the cold ground with his back. He forgot to react and just looked at Yun Xuanmo in shock.

Yun Xuanmo stared at him with murderous intent.

"You may not know that the past ten years of your life were given to you by me. Otherwise, ten or fifteen years ago, your Duke Dingguo Mansion would have been closed down and your descendants would have died out."

"How ridiculous that you are so stupid that you don't even realize it. You have repeatedly requested for your concubine to be crowned as the Crown Prince. More than a dozen petitions have been rejected. Don't you want to think about the reason?"

The courtiers gasped.

As the saying goes, three times of failure is the limit. If you have failed to get the title three times, you should reflect on the reason. Duke Dingguo actually submitted more than ten petitions to be crowned as the crown prince? How brave!

At this time, a sneer came from the golden steps, and Xiao Beichen said, "If it weren't for my ninth junior brother who stopped me from taking action all these years, would the Duke Dingguo's Mansion still be safe?"

"Your Majesty is wise! My wife died of illness that year, and I never treated her badly..."

No matter how slow Si Bochuan was, he understood what was going on. He was so shocked that his back felt cold. He knelt down again and explained tremblingly.

However, before he could finish his words, he was knocked away by the scabbard again, and rolled on the ground before falling in an awkward position.

But after all, he was also a military general when he was young. He endured the pain and climbed up, glaring at Yun Xuanmo.

"Rebellious son! How dare you kill your father?!"

Si Bochuan never thought that the two-year-old child who was abducted that year would actually appear in front of him one day, and in the court!

This should have been a scene of glory for the family, with a loving father and a filial son recognizing each other, but unexpectedly, the son who was lost and found again looked at him as if he were an enemy and even attacked him directly!

But he was in the court, with the emperor and his ministers watching, and he couldn't make too many excuses. If he said too much, it would become a family scandal.

Facing his accusations, Yun Xuanmo smiled and drew his sword. The blade flashed with a faint cold light, and the tip of the sword pointed at the angry Si Bochuan. His voice was as cold as ice and snow.

"The Azure Dragon Guard is one level higher than you. I hold the Emperor's Sword in my hand and can cut through the heavens, the earth, and the ghosts and gods. It's more than enough to kill you!"

The discussions in the court had long since died down, and all the civil and military officials held their breath.

"Old Nine, put away your sword." At this time, the person on the dragon throne suddenly spoke in a calm tone.

Yun Xuanmo sheathed his sword, bowed towards the golden steps, and then walked back to Yun Tang, who smiled at him.

She knew that Senior Brother Nine was just venting the emotions that had been pent up in his heart for many years, and he would not really do anything to the Duke Dingguo.

They are people who practice Taoism.

"As you can see, my ninth junior brother Yun Xuanmo is Sima Feng, the eldest son of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion who was said to have gone missing."

"The two-year-old child witnessed his mother being rubbed to death. When Duke Dingguo learned about it, he did not seek justice for his mother but announced that his mother had died of illness and ignored her."

"His mother had just been buried when a servant in the mansion carried him out of the mansion and threw him to a kidnapper outside. However, after the kidnapper took him to the East Territory and sold him, he sent people to hunt him down."

"My master passed by and saved his life. After learning the truth, he brought him back to Qingfeng Temple and accepted him as his ninth disciple. I was busy with state affairs and it was only a few years later that I learned about the scandal of Duke Dingguo favoring his concubine and killing his wife."

"I promised Ninth Junior Brother that he would decide when to unveil this case. Before that day comes, the lives of everyone in the Dingguo Mansion will be regarded as Ninth Junior Brother's repayment for his kindness."

Xiao Beichen orally narrated the truth of that year as someone involved. Even though there were no witnesses or physical evidence, no evidence presented in court, and no signatures or seals, no one dared to question it.

Because eighteen years ago, the wife of Duke Dingguo died suddenly of illness, and her only legitimate son was lost before her body was intact. Who who has lived in this capital for more than twenty years does not know this?

During those three years, it was one of the hottest topics in the capital, but later, with the establishment of Tianji Pavilion and Yunshang Temple as a royal Taoist temple, it gradually became a new topic.

The story of Duke Dingguo favoring his concubine and killing his wife is not new, but the truth behind this case has now been revealed, which has caused the entire court to sigh, and for a while, there was a buzz of discussion again.

"Your Majesty, my wife did not live a comfortable life in the inner palace when she was alive. My mother always blamed her for the bad relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but it is really unfair to say that she was tortured to death!"

Duke Dingguo was so frightened that his face turned pale. He kept trying to defend himself, but even his voice was choked with sobs.

"As for allowing a concubine to kill the legitimate son, that is out of the question. I only had two sons back then. Even if I favored my concubine more, I would never harm my sons."

"When Feng'er was missing, I sent many people to search for him day and night, from the capital to various places for many years without giving up. Shuntian Prefecture also knew about it."

"Because I was afraid that the incident would cause harm to the child, I did not dare to make it public. I secretly went to find the governor of Shuntian Prefecture and even searched the capital."

"Later, we were able to capture many kidnapping gangs one after another. This should not be a secret in the capital, but I lost my beloved son, so I gave up the search only after these years..."

Si Bochuan's voice became more choked as he spoke. He looked at the expressionless Yun Xuanmo with red eyes. Seeing his son's indifferent reaction, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"What I think is that if the child was alive, he would have grown up long ago. If... I have been comforting myself all these years, thinking that the child must be alive and well somewhere, and just forgot the way home."

"Click".

Suddenly, a slight "click" interrupted Si Bochuan's miserable and sad confession.

Many court officials were crying out of sympathy and were about to take out their handkerchiefs to wipe their tears when they were stunned by the sudden "click" sound.

Even Si Bochuan, whose eyes were filled with tears, was stunned and turned to look at the source of the sound.

He saw the Princess Protector of the Country holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand and cracking them. When she saw him looking over, she spat the shells at him.

There’s that “Pah” movement again.

Si Bochuan's eyes darkened and turned red with anger.

"Hey, Xiao Tang'er, didn't I tell you a long time ago that you can only eat cakes secretly in the court, and you can't eat snacks that make noises easily?"

Xiao Beichen was also a little embarrassed. He was just watching the fun and he also wanted to have a handful of melon seeds to slowly eat.

Yuntang recalled that when he was a child, he sat beside the dragon throne and watched his third senior brother scold the court officials. His third senior brother did remind him that he could only eat cakes secretly, otherwise it would attract too much attention.

But this time it was different, she explained: "Your Majesty, this Duke Dingguo told a good story, Yuntang couldn't help but take out some melon seeds to eat, but I still need a cup of tea."

"Duke Dingguo is such a good storyteller, he should have good business in the teahouse." Yun Tang glanced at Si Bochuan, whose expression was a little ferocious and he was about to lose control of his anger, and added.

Xiao Beichen knew that if he hadn't restrained her, Xiao Tang'er would have attacked Duke Dingguo's Mansion years ago.

You can't kill them openly, but it's easy to curse them or release some evil spirits.
