The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

"No... that's not right. That's the Crown Prince's wife's child, and also my child..."

Due to excessive tension, Sean's face was pale, sweat was dripping down his forehead, his body was shaking uncontrollably, and even his speech became stuttering and incoherent.

At this moment, a sharp, piercing voice full of anger and fear suddenly rang out, "No... You are just talking nonsense!"

Zhao Yuting stared at Sean with her eyes wide open and disbelief. Her originally beautiful face seemed a little distorted due to extreme shock and fear.

She never thought that the person in the sack would be Sean!

You know, before, she always thought that this was just an ordinary conspiracy, but she never expected that things would develop into such an unexpected situation, catching her off guard.

The emperor frowned upon seeing this, and pierced Xiao En with a sharp gaze. He asked in a deep voice, "My dear Xiao, I hope you can think carefully before answering. Do you know what you are talking about?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Zhao Yuting's heart felt like it was hit hard by a heavy hammer, and she instantly became extremely nervous. At this moment, the emperor obviously did not completely believe Sean's words. If she could seize this critical moment and persuade Sean to change his words and deny the matter, then perhaps... she would still have a chance of survival.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuting suppressed her inner panic and took a deep breath, as if to gather all the strength in her body. Then she said to Xiao En with a serious face: "Master Xiao, please stay calm and think carefully. Don't make a big mistake because of the impulse."

"As the consort of the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion, how could I have anything to do with you? You are speaking nonsense and throwing dirty water on my Zhenguo Mansion in a blatant attempt to tarnish the reputation of the Zhenguo Mansion."

"If it's just because you recognized the wrong person, then you only need to apologize to the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and explain everything to the emperor in person. You are just talking nonsense."

"In this case, this prince's consort will be magnanimous and forgive you for the past. I will no longer pursue this mistake you made due to your momentary confusion."

These words, with both kindness and severity, analyze the pros and cons clearly and plainly.

Normally, if any ordinary person were in this situation, he would definitely be able to understand the hidden meaning and implications of the words, and might even have begun to weigh the pros and cons in his mind.

However, Xue Jinhua did not give him the opportunity to think carefully. She only raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Sir Xiao, what the wife of the prince said is very true. These matters are indeed very serious and of great importance. You must think carefully..."

"After all, daring to deceive the emperor is a serious crime. Once the truth comes out, it will not just be your fault, Sir Xiao."

Who wouldn't threaten someone? Moreover, compared to Zhao Yuting's previous words, Xue Jinhua's threat at this moment was like a sharp sword, piercing people's hearts, and was obviously more deterrent.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuting's face instantly became tense. If Sean really listened to Xue Jinhua's advice and confessed, then all the hard work and efforts she had put in before would disappear like bubbles and all her previous efforts would be wasted.

Sean obviously fully understood the profound meaning of Xue Jinhua's words.

Although Zhao Yuting had given him many benefits before, at this point, he could only choose to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to these benefits.

"Your Majesty, every word I said is true. I would never dare to deceive Your Majesty in the slightest!" Sean said sincerely.

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and then she sarcastically said, "Oh my, Madam, the Queen specifically asked me to learn from the Crown Prince's wife, hoping that I could get pregnant as soon as possible like you, but... I didn't expect that this is your so-called success experience?"

"Then I'm afraid I will have to disobey the Queen's order this time. The Crown Prince's Consort has the guts to cuckold the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but I don't dare."

Xue Jinhua's words were like sharp swords, each word piercing the heart and each sound harsh, ruthlessly stabbing Zhao Yuting's face, making her feel as if struck by lightning. She froze on the spot, her face turned extremely pale, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.

Zhou Mengmeng on the side was also shocked and couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes. Her mouth was opened so wide that it seemed as if an egg could be stuffed in.

Only the Marquis of Zhenguo was so angry that his eyes turned red and his whole body trembled. Then he fell to his knees with a plop and said, "Your Majesty, this old minister is really unlucky for his family!"

Seeing this, even the emperor was shocked. He was still a little skeptical, so he asked, "Is it true that the Crown Prince's Consort of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has such a scandal?"

"Your Majesty, this is unjust!"

Zhao Yuting felt as if a heavy stone had fallen on her heart. She cried as she said, "I have always been a law-abiding woman. This Lord Xiao just came to propose marriage, but my family did not agree, so he held a grudge against me."

"And he is just making up stories like this in order to put me in an irretrievable situation. I am truly wronged. I hope Your Majesty will understand this clearly."

Zhou Mengmeng felt relieved. She thought this was a foregone conclusion...

After all, she herself is a woman, and it is hard for her to believe that there are people in this world who are so vicious and could do such sinister and cunning things.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed difficult to justify ourselves with Lord Xiao's one-sided statement alone." Boss Xue echoed at this time.

After all, if there is no real evidence...

"Your Majesty, every word I said is true. I swear to heaven that if I say even a single word is false, I will die without a burial place and suffer the pain of being struck by lightning."

Scholars are the most reverent towards gods, just like believers are pious towards gods.

Sean swore, undoubtedly using his own future as a desperate chip to prove his innocence.

There was already a ripple in the emperor's heart.

Zhao Yuting gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, every word I said is true. My child is from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If I say even a single word is false, I will be struck by five thunderbolts and die a miserable death."

This is really a desperate situation. Are all the oaths and pledges he made up just like that?

Xue Jinhua looked at Zhao Yuting performing so hard...her heart was filled with contempt, as if she was looking at a ridiculous clown.

The emperor looked at her resolute expression, and the balance that had originally leaned towards Sean began to waver again.

"Crown Princess, how could you go against your conscience like this? Say such things?" Sean was dumbfounded, unable to believe that she... would behave in such a despicable way.

"You used a trick that day. You clearly wanted to seduce the prince, but somehow you walked into the wrong house and ended up in my house."

"You forced yourself on me, but then you denied it..."

"And you...even slept next to the drunken prince afterwards. Do you dare to say that these things...didn't happen?"

After all, he is a scholar, and his temperament is really straightforward...

Sean confronted her, his eyes instantly turning red.

A trace of disgust flashed in Zhao Yuting's eyes, "Master Xiao, even if you want to make up a lie, you have to be sensible."

"No one can say it without evidence."

"I know you are a good person and would never say these things for no reason. Tell the emperor... is there someone behind you who instigated you to say these things?"

"Don't be afraid, just speak out boldly. The emperor is here now, and he will definitely do you justice."

Xue Jinhua admired Zhao Yuting's eloquence. These few words... turned the situation around so easily.

If she hadn't prepared early, she might have been fooled by her.

"Father, in my daughter-in-law's opinion, these two people don't have any solid evidence. Why not let the matter be handled by the Dali Temple?"

Zhao Yuting’s face turned pale instantly. If this was the case... wouldn’t everyone know about it?

Even if she proved that the child was from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she would probably become a laughing stock of others.

Sean's face turned even paler. If this was true...his career would probably be over.

"Your Majesty, I have evidence." Sean said tremblingly.

Zhao Yuting stared at him intently, as if she wanted to stare a bottomless abyss in him. The look in her eyes was like that of a poisonous snake, which made people shudder.

Xue Jinhua raised the corner of her mouth slightly and chuckled: "Master Xiao, you can't just talk, you have to show real evidence."

"This is the jade pendant left by the Crown Prince's wife. It is enough to prove that I had physical contact with her." As soon as Sean said this, he took out a jade pendant from his arms without hesitation and handed it to the emperor.

The children of the Zhao family carry a jade pendant engraved with their names since birth, and this one is Zhao Yuting's.

Xue Jinhua glanced at the jade pendant and saw the word "Ting" clearly visible...

Zhao Yuting was extremely anxious and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! You just found a jade pendant and you dare to say it's mine? Sir Xiao, your method is really despicable!"

"Since the Crown Prince's wife said that this jade pendant is fake, I wonder if she could take out your jade pendant so that we can verify its authenticity?" Xue Jinhua said lightly.

"This..." Zhao Yuting looked embarrassed and hesitant.

"Could it be that the Crown Prince's wife can't take it out?"

"Who said I couldn't take it out? I just didn't have it with me." Zhao Yuting tried to remain calm.

"Oh? The Crown Prince's wife didn't carry such an important item with her?" Xue Jinhua curled the corners of his mouth slightly, as if smiling.

"Or... the Crown Prince's wife doesn't have this jade pendant at all, and is just making it up to deceive us?"
