Chapter 1161: Chapter 1155: Sophistry

"We should go out first; the Emperor and the others should be leaving soon too."

Jin Zijin’s eyes gradually turned colder as he let go of Gu Youyou, saying, "You wait here for me, don’t come out."

Did he think he could just walk away? That would be underestimating him.

Gu Youyou nodded lightly, not stopping him.

After Jin Zijin left, Xiang Chun and Searcy soon entered the room.

Xiang Chun looked at Gu Youyou with concern and sighed, "It’s a relief that it was just a false alarm, and no one got hurt. But I don’t know how the child will be divided; originally, it belonged to Miss Du alone, and now they’ve found the child’s father. Although the father is no longer alive, the grandfather is still here. I wonder if Mr. Jie will take the child away."

Gu Youyou smirked slightly and said, "That’s none of our business anymore."

She turned her face to Searcy and asked, "How did you think of finding Mr. Jie? And that letter..."

Searcy looked at the door and lowered her voice, "Before you mentioned that Miss Du’s lover might be the second young master of the Jie Family, so who else would I seek besides Mr. Jie? We can’t let Miss Du carry the stigma of being spoiled by bandits."

Gu Youyou was stunned for a moment and then nodded, "You found the right person."

But Searcy’s words were somewhat unpleasant. What did she mean by lover? They had been formally married before, after all.

Searcy added, "As for that letter, it’s fake. After I explained the situation to Mr. Jie, he immediately ground the ink and wrote that letter himself."

Gu Youyou nodded again and said, "Mr. Jie is indeed strategic and farsighted!"

If it weren’t for that letter, it would have been hard to convince everyone.

After all, Zhonglin is already gone, and there’s no proof in words alone.

In the outer room, the atmosphere was tense and hostile.

Jin Zijin didn’t plan to let it go and took the opportunity to make a move against the Empress.

"You have always been spying on me and slandering Youyou for surrogacy; what is your true intention?"

The Empress sneered and said indifferently, "You must have evidence to speak. I have never ordered anyone to spy on you. As for Gu Youyou being accused of surrogacy, aren’t all these things you’ve done suspicious? First, Gu Youyou concealed her pregnancy, then you hid a pregnant woman in your home; it would be difficult not to be suspicious. And whether the child is yours, that’s still in question."

"Oh? You want evidence?" Jin Zijin smirked, but his eyes were filled with coldness.

"Very well, I’ll give you evidence."

He clapped his hands, and in a short while, several maids and a servant were brought into the crowded room by guards.

It seemed there was no longer any business for the Imperial Physicians, but no one wanted to leave the drama, so they tried to squeeze to the sides to make room.

"What do you intend to do? Bringing out a few maids from your household to frame me?" The Empress wasn’t worried; she had already prepared her defense.

"Who appointed these maids?" Jin Zijin asked indifferently.

The Empress answered with a smile, "Your residence doesn’t have anyone, so is there a problem if I arrange people here? Not only in your household but also in the houses of King Jin and Prince Qin, most of the servants are arranged by me."

Jin Zijin smiled faintly, and with a stretch of his hand, someone handed him a large envelope.

He opened the envelope, which was full of specially made small notes, all written with the daily activities of him and Gu Youyou.

Jin Zijin handed the large envelope to the Emperor and then said to the Empress, "All these things were delivered by a vegetable farmer named Su. Perhaps you will say again, would I find a vegetable farmer to slander you?"
