My husband married a concubine? I turned around and married the cold prince.

Chapter 180: Manager Chen Seeks Justice

Xue Wanxian stared at Manager Chen, somewhat unable to believe that Manager Chen, who always liked things to be clean and tidy, would end up like this. And there was also that child. He had met that child the last time he went to see Manager Chen.

That child was very smart and cute, and seemed to be only ten years old this year. How did he become like this?

"Do you know where this is? If you have a grievance, why don't you go to the government office to seek justice? Why are you running here? Lord Xue, why don't you send someone to take them away!"

Prince Yong noticed that Xue Wanxian's expression seemed a little strange, and he quickly spoke up, wanting to get Manager Chen to leave.

However, before Xue Wanxian could do anything, King Cheng spoke.

"Wait, why don't you go to court to seek justice?"

King Cheng realized that something must have gone wrong on Xue Wanxian's side.

Xue Wanxian was Prince Yong's man, so he was happy to see Prince Yong suffer a loss.

"I dare not reply to your Highness. I knew that you two Highnesses were coming here today, so I came here to ask you to redress my grievances."

"This is not a court. Take him away." Prince Yong interrupted Manager Chen and signaled the guards on both sides to take the man away.

"Wait, why are you in such a hurry? Since they have come here to ask for help, shouldn't we seek justice for them?" The more anxious Prince Yong became, the more Prince Cheng tried to stop him from taking the person away.

Upon seeing this, Prince Yong could only shut up. After all, he was still a prince, and it was impossible for him to really not let others get justice in front of so many people.

He could only look at Xue Wanxian with disappointment.

Receiving Prince Yong's gaze, Xue Wanxian frowned.

Although he didn't know why Manager Chen became like this, it was obvious that something had happened since he brought people here.

"Tell me, what is your grievance?"

The banquet hall, which was originally filled with laughter and conversation, suddenly turned into a serious court.

Everyone looked at everything in front of them in silence and curiosity.

"In reply to your Highness, I want to sue someone in the Marquis' Mansion. Her name is Liu Yiyi. Some time ago, she asked the various shops under the name of the Marquis' Mansion for money, but because there is really no money in the account, I can't give it out.

She was furious because she couldn't get the silver, so she had someone kidnap the commoner's son and poisoned him, causing him to fall ill every seven days.

Every time the disease broke out, it was very scary. I would break out in cold sweat and scream. After the cold sweat stopped, yellow pus would appear all over my body. But within an hour, the abscesses would automatically burst and the pus inside would flow out.

I had no choice but to pawn all the valuables in my house and finally gathered some money to buy the antidote. However, she said that the antidote could only temporarily suppress the toxicity and could not completely detoxify it. If I wanted to get the real antidote, I had to listen to her instructions and do everything for her.

When Xue Wanxian saw Manager Chen mention Liu Yiyi's name, he was immediately shocked. After hearing what Manager Chen said, he was so shocked that he couldn't react.

"Where is Liu Yiyi?" King Cheng narrowed his eyes, obviously not expecting such a thing to happen.

Of course he had heard of Liu Yiyi's name. At that time, the events in Lin'an Marquis Mansion had almost spread throughout the capital.

"I'm here." Liu Yiyi walked out and stood next to Manager Chen, but she disliked the disgusting smell on Manager Chen and stayed away from him.

She forced herself to calm down, but she was still frightened when she saw such a scene.

She never thought that Manager Chen would not care about her son's life or death, and would risk sacrificing her son by reporting her in front of so many people.

"Is what he said true? Did you really poison his child in order to get the silver?"

"In reply to your Highness, I have never done anything like this. It is clear that Manager Chen was instructed by someone else to frame me."

Liu Yiyi naturally refused to admit it.

"Instigated? You mean, who instructed him?" Upon hearing this, King Cheng's smile deepened. He originally thought that he had lost a glass bottle in vain when he came here today, but he didn't expect that there would be such a good show.

From this perspective, it seems that the trip was not in vain.

"I don't know this, but many people here don't like me and have grudges against me. Maybe she is the one who instigated this."

Liu Yiyi said this and looked directly at An Qingqian.

Her words and actions almost told everyone directly that it was An Qingqian who instructed Manager Chen to frame her.

Liu Yiyi stared at An Qingqian. She knew in her heart that An Qingqian must have done this.

Although there is no evidence, what An Qingqian said to her just now must be about this matter.

Therefore, she would never let An Qingqian get away with it alone. She wanted to drag An Qingqian down as well to see what explanation she could have.

Everyone looked at An Qingqian with curiosity and confusion.

An Qingqian calmly put down the teacup and accepted everyone's gaze calmly.

Liu Yiyi did not clearly say her name. If she spoke, wouldn’t she be admitting that she and Liu Yiyi had a bad relationship, and that she was the one who instructed Manager Chen.

Liu Yiyi wanted to force her to speak, but she would not be fooled.

Seeing An Qingqian's calm and composed look, everyone looked at Liu Yiyi.

It seems that An Qingqian would not do such a thing. Perhaps, Liu Yiyi wanted to throw dirty water on An Qingqian because of what happened before.

Seeing everyone's eyes on her again, Liu Yiyi suddenly became anxious.

However, she couldn't directly say that it was An Qingqian who ordered it. After all, she didn't have any evidence, and all this was just her guess.

"Manager Chen, do you have any evidence to prove that what you said is true?" King Cheng looked at the person on the ground and continued to speak.

"Yes, I have evidence." Manager Chen held his child with one trembling hand and took out a small paper bag from his arms with the other hand.

"Your Highness, this is the second antidote Liu Yiyi gave the child. I took it outside and asked a highly skilled doctor to examine it. Although he did not confirm all the herbs needed for the antidote, he was able to identify a few.

It just so happens that these herbs are very special and not commonly seen. Even in the capital, many pharmacies do not have them. But I have looked in various pharmacies, and they said that during this period, only one person went to buy these herbs, and that person was Liu Yiyi from the Marquis' Mansion.

This is the antidote. If you don't believe it, you can ask a doctor you trust to check it. There is really no need for me to lie."

King Cheng glanced behind him, and soon someone came forward and brought the pill up.

King Cheng took a closer look and found that it was just an ordinary brown pill. He couldn't tell anything from it just by looking at it.
