Chapter 94
Huo Jiuge's call for help immediately attracted the attention of others. When everyone arrived, they saw this scene: Miss Huo family was holding their young lady from Duke Wen's house in her arms. Both of them were soaked, as if Like freshly fished from the lake.

"Oh my God! What's going on?" A lady wearing a crimson brocade robe looked at the scene in front of her and said dumbfounded.

Han Zan rushed over with the doctor at this time. He pushed aside the crowd and put clean clothes on the two of them, and then took Wen Yan from Huo Jiuge's arms.

The banquet outside was just about halfway through when I heard the news that someone had fallen into the water, so a large number of people came here.

The moment Mr. Huo saw his granddaughter, his expression immediately became tense. Huo Jiuge was shivering with cold at this time. The moment she saw her grandpa, her eyes immediately turned red and she spoke with an aggrieved tone. , timidly said: "Grandpa, I'm cold!"

Upon seeing this, Prince Wen immediately asked someone to take her down to change into clean clothes, and then immediately asked someone to go to the main hall to question her, including the two old servants that Huo Jiuge asked Han Zan to capture.

"What the hell is going on? How did these two good ladies fall into the water? What on earth do you do for food?" Prince Wen spent a lot of time this time. Today is his son's one-year-old banquet that he had been looking forward to for so long. It was a festive day, but now it was completely ruined, and it was even humiliated in front of others.

However, a group of servants said that they were busy with matters at the banquet and did not notice how the two ladies fell into the lake. The two old servants who recommended Wenyan into the lake also mingled with the crowd and said: Say the same thing as everyone else.

Seeing that her son's first birthday gift was ruined, Mrs. Ji's face flashed with anger. Seeing that her husband was still worried about the murderer, she stood up and said, "What happened today was just an accident. Since the two ladies It’s okay, why is the master so angry?”

When he heard her say this, Mr. Huo raised his eyelids, as if he was dissatisfied with her words, but as a guest, he couldn't interfere in other people's family affairs.

"What happened this time is not an accident!" Suddenly a loud voice broke the deadlock. Everyone looked back and saw Han Zan standing at the door, doubts flashed across their brows, and they saw him striding across the threshold, walking up to the people and saying to Prince Wen : "And the two young ladies are not as harmless as my aunt said. Miss Huo soaked in the lake for so long to save people and suffered a lot of fright. However, my cousin has not woken up yet and is dying!"

His words were like a bomb that exploded in the crowd instantly. Although they were embarrassed to discuss it in front of the host, their minds were all focused on this matter now, completely forgetting why they came here. .

Mrs. Ji lost her temper. Just when she was about to speak, Han Zan pointed to the two old servants and said, "When my cousin fell into the water, not only did they not save her in time, but they stood on the shore and stood idly by. I discovered After that, he ran away in panic."

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw the two trembling old servants in the crowd. At this time, they quickly knelt down and said, "Young Master, this old slave has been wronged!"

They shouted that they were wronged, saying that they did not know how to swim. If they jumped rashly, not only would they not be able to save the young lady, but their own lives would also be at risk. As for what he said about running away, that was even more of a misunderstanding. They were in a hurry. This is what it takes to find talent.

"Since the death of the eldest lady, the old slave has been taking care of the young lady. I feel sorry for the young lady before it is too late, so how could I harm her?" Two old servants knelt on the ground and complained about their difficulties.

Both of them were experienced at scheming, and Han Zan, as a man, could not defeat them.

Seeing that he was about to be at a disadvantage, Huo Jiuge changed his clothes at this time, walked over and said, "If it is really like what the two nuns said, then please explain to me why I am in Miss Wen's hands." Did you find this?"

When Huo Jiuge rescued Wen Yan from the water, he found that she was holding a lapel button in her hand. It turned out that it was pulled from the murderer when she was pushed into the lake and struggled.

She handed the evidence to Prince Wen for him to judge, and then retreated to Mr. Huo's side, looking at the two mothers as a bystander.Prince Wen held the lapel button in his hand, looked at the two nuns kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Whose of you two does this belong to?"

Grandma was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak. After looking at each other, she buried her head lower.

The whole main hall was silent. At this moment, someone snorted coldly, and then spoke slowly: "It is said that Zheng Zhuanggong's mother Wu Jiang didn't like her eldest son, so she wanted to kill the eldest son and establish a young one. This is true for parents and children, let alone a son. A stepson."

The person who said this was Pei Jingxing. He stood quietly in the crowd, his eyes slightly cold, and he carried a majesty that was not angry and dignified.

His words directly pointed the finger at Prince Wen's concubine Ji. Since Wen Yan's mother passed away, she became the mistress of the entire Duke Wen's palace. Not only did she soon give birth to the two daughters of the Wen family, , and later even gave birth to the only male grandson of the Wen family.

Such a grand first-year banquet can also show that the Wen family attaches great importance to their grandson. However, at such a critical moment, something happened to Wen Yan, the legitimate daughter of Duke Wen's family, and her life or death is now uncertain.

If the child's biological mother was still alive, how could this happen?
Ji's face suddenly turned pale. However, due to the other party's identity, she could not argue with him. Likewise, Prince Wen did not dare to offend Pei Jingxing for her.

You must know that now he is a popular person next to the emperor, holding great power. He has always been aloof, cold and self-sufficient. He doesn't like to make friends with others, and he is also not afraid of offending others.

At this time, Duke Wen spoke: "Give me these two wives who have abandoned their master, and then drive them out. Our Wen family cannot tolerate such evil people." As he said this, he pointed to the two girls beside him. To Wen Yan, tell them to take good care of her. If something like today happens again, all the women and girls in Fangfeiyuan will end up like these two women.

These words were like a muffled bell hitting Ji's heart. It seemed that Duke Wen was really angry this time.

What happened today has directly brought the entire Duke Wen's palace into disgrace.

Even though the banquet continued, everyone lost their temper and could only end it hastily and go home.

Just as Pei Jingxing was about to leave, someone stopped him and said, "Thank you for speaking out about today's matter!"

Pei Jingxing turned around and looked at the beautiful figure in the distance. He said to Han Zan: "It's just a small effort, and the person you really want to thank is not me."

Han Zan knew who he was referring to, but if it weren't for Pei Jingxing's words, the two of them would have been at odds for a long time, and he didn't stop him just to thank him.

Now the person in front of him is in charge of the entire Suwei Department. If he can be remembered by him, his official career will be easier in the future. However, it is a pity that the other person did not stay longer. After replying to his words, he left quickly. .
