Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 730 - Chapter 730 Chapter 730 Slander It Is Definitely Slander

Chapter 730: Chapter 730 Slander, It Is Definitely Slander Chapter 730: Chapter 730 Slander, It Is Definitely Slander Doctor Wang recounted everything he knew exactly as it had happened.

He also revealed how after Lady Tang was poisoned, he feared the General would investigate and trace it back to him, so he especially spent several taels of silver to bribe Nanny Zhao, making her give false testimony and accuse Zi Xia of poisoning, thereby clearing his own name and directing the suspicion toward the eldest daughter.

The eldest daughter had never gotten along with Auntie Tang.

Accusing her of poisoning Auntie Tang wouldn’t arouse any suspicion.

Such power struggles were common in the homes of the wealthy, so no one found the situation odd. However, Lady Tang’s reputation had always been good in the Capital; she was known for her virtues, gentleness, wisdom, and household management. She was even considered a role model for the noble ladies, but now it seemed all that was a facade.

Moreover, for her to engage in such vile acts, everyone’s impression of her changed instantly.

Prince Pu immediately started to curse angrily, “You treasonous dog servant, spouting utter nonsense, my daughter would never do such a thing.”

War Prince asked, “Doctor Wang, do you have evidence that it was Lady Tang who asked you to do this?”

“Yes, every time Auntie Tang asked me to do something, she would reward me with some gold and silver treasures,” he said, and took two gold bars out from his bosom to show everyone.

The gold bars seemed to weigh no less than ten taels each.

Suddenly, everyone in the room believed his words without a doubt.

It made sense, being just a doctor who treated people in the General’s Mansion, one wouldn’t earn much of a stipend in a month, at most ten or eight taels.

Two gold bars were astronomical figures to those servants; they were something they couldn’t earn in a lifetime as servants.

Upon seeing this, Prince Pu started to scream again, “Slander, absolute slander.”

Everyone in the room felt utmost contempt for him. With so much gold in front of them, Prince Pu still wouldn’t admit to anything. No one had thicker skin than he did.

Thus, everyone ignored his tantrums.

Xuexue put the pastries she was holding back onto the plate, looked up, her young face filled with sorrow, and said to Situ Yongjie, “Father, what did your daughter do wrong? Why does Auntie Tang hate me so much, even wanting to kill my foster mother? I am very scared and don’t know when she might poison my foster father and mother. I’ve decided, Father. In a few days, I’ll take my foster parents back to Mo Family Village to live a simpler life. It may be poorer, but at least our lives will be worry-free.”

Xuexue’s young face was pitiful and heart-wrenching.

Situ Yongjie felt greatly guilty inside, originally thinking that with fewer women in the mansion, there wouldn’t be such dirty struggles. Unexpectedly, Lady Tang, this narrow-minded woman, couldn’t even tolerate his deceased wife’s daughter, and wanted to remove her only a few days after she returned to the mansion.

“Xuexue, don’t be afraid, your father will protect you,” Situ Yongjie silently made up his mind.

“What if there is a next time, and we’re not so lucky?”

“Xuexue, give your father a few days, and I will certainly handle this matter properly.”

“Alright.”

Xuexue also knew that she couldn’t rush things and had to let Situ Yongjie think things through properly.

In the end, the War Prince, considering that Auntie Tang was still unconscious, decided not to hold her accountable for now, and that everything would wait until she woke up.

As for Doctor Wang, he was to remain in the General’s Mansion. Once Auntie Tang regained consciousness, and their testimonies aligned, they would deal with him accordingly.

Seeing the War Prince getting up to leave with his subordinates,

Doctor Wang was astonished.

Prince Pu was still glaring at him menacingly from the side. If the War Prince left, would he still have his life?

“War Prince, you can’t go,” Doctor Wang crawled to the War Prince’s feet on the ground, blocking his path.

Long Yi shouted sternly, “How dare you block the War Prince’s way, move aside immediately!”
