I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Novel - Chapter 334
334 Interrogation
“Mother, now is not the time to argue about this.”
The old lady’s interruption made the marquis’s head hurt.
He couldn’t take it anymore and could only change the topic. “Minghui, our entire ministry is in trouble now. You should ask your wife to stay.
Just now, you said that you asked the general’s wife and your wife to go to the courtyard, but you didn’t know when your two sisters came back at all?”
!!
Marquis Beining didn’t believe Song Minghui’s words.
After all, Song Minghui was the only one in this family who was close to General Wei Bei. He was also the one who mediated the matter at the Imperial City Division.
Now that they had been released, it was impossible for him not to know anything about it!
And most importantly…
“Your third sister is still missing. Don’t tell me you really don’t know anything about this?”
“Father, instead of asking me about this, why don’t you ask Eldest Brother and Yu Niang?” Song Minghui helped Zhou Ningqian sit down. When he heard Marquis Beining’s words, he turned around and said to him calmly, “At this point, in order to prevent the entire Marquis Beining’s family from being exterminated, please figure out the situation first. It won’t be too late to ask after that.”
“What do you mean?” Although Marquis Beining could guess it, his expression still darkened when he was humiliated by his son in public. He tried to remain calm as he rebuked, “What your brother is like is your brother’s business. I’m asking you now!”
“I didn’t handle this matter, so if you want to ask, you should ask Eldest Brother first. He has handled this entire matter. No one knows about the situation better than him.”
With evidence in hand, Song Minghui couldn’t be bothered to keep up pretenses with the group of people in front of him.
Every time he saw Marquis Beining and his elder brother, he felt disdain.
From the beginning to the end, he was the only one who had been trying his best to maintain the dignity of the family, but in his father’s eyes, he was the most useless person.
“Second Brother, what do you mean? Eldest Brother has been in the residence all this time.” Song Minghui’s words made Song Mingyao, the fourth son of Marquis Beining, unhappy.
His eldest brother was already unlucky enough, but at this moment, his second brother actually wanted to slander his brother. He was really too much.
“What do you mean? Why don’t you ask your good brother what he wants to do?!” As Song Minghui spoke, he took out a stack of letters from his sleeve. Then, he walked over and threw them on the table beside Marquis Beining.
“This is a copy of the confession that General Wei Bei’s subordinate gave me after General Wei Bei left just now.
It records Princess Ning Fu’s colluding with our brother.
Brother, how bold are you to drug the fourth prince?
“Have you ever thought that if this matter really blows up, our family will be wiped out?! Are you crazy?”
Previously, Song Minghui had only reminded him. Now that the testimony had been taken out, no matter how skeptical Marquis Beining was, he couldn’t help but reach out and pick up the stack of letters. After just a glance, his face turned pale and his hands started trembling. After he quickly finished reading the contents of the letters, he couldn’t help but slap the table and shout at Song Minghe, who had been in a daze since he entered, “Kneel down!”
“What are you doing? Minghe has always been obedient. What can he possibly do?” The old lady was unconvinced.
She had always doted on her eldest grandson. Although he was the son of a concubine, the old lady had never cared since she still had conservative values from her previous life in the countryside.
As long as he was her grandson, it was fine. Why should she be so picky?
Therefore, when she saw Marquis Beining start to shout at Song Minghe, she couldn’t sit still anymore.
Her usual prejudice made her attribute all of this to Song Minghui. She was certain that Song Minghui was behind this and that in order to protect his position as the heir, he wanted to harm his own brother.
“Mother, don’t say such nonsense now! The evidence is conclusive. How can it be fake?” Marquis Beining slammed his hand on the table and he was so angry that his eyes turned red.
Although he doted on his eldest son, he wasn’t stupid enough to ignore the evidence.
Since Song Minghui was able to provide this testimony this time, it meant that the witness had definitely fallen into their hands. The accomplice was his eldest son, who had always looked honest, obedient, and sensible.
“You can’t say that. If this was done by my brother, it wouldn’t make sense!” After Yu Niang quickly went forward and took the stack of letters from Marquis Beining, she looked through them. Although she was flustered, she still explained in a coquettish voice, “It says that Princess Ning Fu ordered people to set up the general’s wife, but in the end, it was Princess Ning Fu and…
If this matter was really done by her brother, how could he have made such a stupid arrangement? Not only did he make a mess of things, but he even screwed his wife over.
Moreover, with my brother’s temper, he definitely would have discussed this with you!
How could he not have known?”
Yu Niang knew that today’s plan had most likely been foiled. Other than her son, who had already been exposed, she was most worried about her subsequent arrangements.
And Third Madam, who had yet to be found…
She had already arranged for people to search the residence secretly, but until now, no one had reported her whereabouts. The mountain bandits she had found had also disappeared…
“Yu Niang, don’t be in a hurry to defend my brother. I have something to ask you.” Seeing that Yu Niang had fallen for the trap, not only was Song Minghui not anxious, but a smile also appeared on his face. In the next second, what he said exposed Yu Niang’s greatest fear. “Where’s Third Sister now?”
