Chapter 731 I can die to prove my innocence
A word is like a rock dropped into water.
After a brief silence, countless ripples suddenly exploded.
"Have a child?"
"This Prince Yuwen hasn't even married a wife yet, and now he has a child, and the child is with a prostitute. This is simply bringing disgrace to the family!"
"No wonder she had the guts to come to the Marquis's Mansion to cause trouble. She must be pregnant with a child, so she has someone to rely on!"
"This is a prostitute. Who would have thought that the first child of the prince of a marquisate would come from the belly of a prostitute? If this gets out, the entire Marquisate of Mingchang will probably become a laughing stock in the imperial city."
Although it was at the birthday banquet of the Marquis of Mingchang Mansion, everyone wanted to remain silent and did not dare to cause trouble. But this news was too explosive, and for a while, there were discussions everywhere, and the eyes looking at Yuwen Huan became particularly complicated.
Yuwen Huan was stunned on the spot, looking at Lian'er, he subconsciously said: "What nonsense are you talking about! How could you have this prince's child? This is simply nonsense!"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask a doctor to check my pulse. It's been more than two months."
"Even if you are really pregnant, it doesn't prove that this is my son's!" Yuwen Huan gritted his teeth and spoke, but a look of panic appeared on his face.
Is it really his own child?
Although he normally doesn't mind people saying he's a playboy, he still has to take things seriously. If he really has a child, it will be a big trouble.
Lian'er stared at Yuwen Huan in a daze, her face turned pale because of his words, and tears kept rolling down her face.
"Sir, although I am a prostitute, from the beginning to the end, I have only given my body to you. How can you wrongly accuse me like this? Only if I really die in the Marquis' Mansion with the child in my belly, you can believe that what I said is the truth!"
As she spoke, Lian'er's face turned cold, and she suddenly stood up, about to bang her head against the table beside her.
The official who was originally sitting at the desk was so frightened that he stood up quickly.
Yuwen Huan was also shocked and immediately asked someone to hold her back.
The servant and maidservant nearby hurriedly grabbed the person, and Lian'er struggled hard.
"Let me go. Since the prince doesn't believe me, let me die to prove my innocence!"
"Tighten it up, we must not let her commit suicide!" Yuwen Huan said loudly.
If I really die here, I'm afraid everyone will pierce my spine!
The guests present watched this scene, and those who had originally doubted Lian'er now almost all believed it.
If she was really just a prostitute who lied for money, how could she risk her life?
Of course, there were also some people who thought that maybe she just wanted to take a chance, knowing that Yuwen Huan would never let her really die here.
And even if Yuwen Huan didn't care, Marquis Mingchang and the eldest princess wouldn't just sit there and watch.
What's more, if they really have a child, then it will be the bloodline of the Mingchang Marquisate no matter what.
Seeing Lian'er being grabbed, many people looked at Zhong Yixiu and Zhong Xingyun.
Today's farce has affected more than just the Mingchang Marquis Mansion.
The marriage contract between the Zhong family and the Marquis of Mingchang Mansion has been finalized, but before the marriage, Prince Yuwen got into such a scandal. Can the Zhong family still marry their daughter to him?
And Miss Zhong, before they got married, her fiancé had a child with a prostitute. That means not long after the marriage, she might have a illegitimate son or daughter. After all, she is the legitimate daughter of an official family. How could she tolerate such a thing?
When Zhong Xingyun first heard Lian'er explain her identity, his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, but then he comforted himself in his heart that it was just some romantic affairs and nothing serious.
But now that he heard that the other party was pregnant with Yuwen Huan's child, he finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
Although he wanted to climb up the Mingchang Marquis's Mansion, he still had to save his face. If he remained silent and did not express his opinion, he was afraid that many people would laugh at him behind his back.
Thinking of this, Zhong Xingyun's face turned cold, and he stood up and said, "My Lord, Princess, what is going on?"
It sounds like a question, but it leaves some face and room, and the tone is appropriate without any accusation.
"Minister Zhong, please be patient and let us sort this matter out first." Marquis Mingchang said with an apologetic tone.
The eldest princess also said, "My husband is right. Master Zhong, please be at ease. This matter has not been clarified yet. Maybe it's just the nonsense of the brothel girl, or she is taking revenge out of hatred. In any case, I like Yixue very much and will never let her suffer any injustice."
Hearing this, Zhong Xingyun did not continue asking questions and sat down again.
Zhong Yixiu, who was standing next to her, watched her father stand up and then ask such a meaningless question as if it was just a formality. She felt it was ridiculous.
If a normal father heard such words, he would probably have shouted to cancel the engagement and speak up for his daughter.
But for his father, even standing up and asking this question just now was probably just for show.
He had never considered himself in his heart, and had never thought about whether he would be wronged if the engagement continued under such circumstances.
Zhong Yixiu stared for a long time, and Zhong Xingyun felt her gaze and turned to look at her.
When Zhong Xingyun met his daughter's disappointed look, he suddenly felt depressed.
He pursed his lips and instinctively avoided the gaze. After realizing what he was doing, he coughed again, looked at Zhong Yixiu again and whispered to her.
"Don't worry, your father will never let you suffer any injustice. But let's first see what's going on. There may be a misunderstanding. We also need to see the attitude of the princess and the others."
Zhong Yixiu didn't say anything, but just turned her gaze away coldly.
Zhong Yiyu, who was sitting next to Zhong Yixiu, looked at her elder sister, then at Zhong Xingyun, her eyes couldn't help but turn cold, and the resentment towards her father in her heart increased a little more.
Lian'er was still being pulled by the maid, looking like she had suffered a great deal of injustice.
The princess looked at her coldly and scolded her, "What is your intention in breaking into the Marquis of Mingchang's mansion and making such a fuss?"
"Your Highness, I know you are of noble status. I came here today just to ask for a place to stay. Please be merciful and kind, even for the sake of the child in my belly, please let me stay."
Lian'er's face was full of sorrow.
"I know that the things the prince said before might have been just to coax me. Maybe he didn't know how many women he had said those things to. I was stupid and took it seriously, but the child is innocent. I..."
"Shut up!" The princess interrupted Lian'er in a harsh voice. "You are just talking nonsense. Huan'er may be a little out of tune with her, but he is definitely not heartless or someone who deceives women. If you dare to throw dirty water on me again, don't blame me for having your tongue pulled out!"
