The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 165 Complaint

A few days later.

When Chen Tianlin returned to the mansion and passed by the small garden, he happened to see a maid with a frightened look on her face, hurrying over with a food box in her hand. She didn't notice him at all and accidentally bumped into him.

Chen Tianlin said unhappily, "Watch the road, why are you in such a hurry?"

When the maid saw it was him, she was even more terrified and quickly knelt down and said, "Prince, spare me! I am from the Second Young Madam's courtyard. I just went to the kitchen to get some snacks. I was afraid that if I came back late, the Young Madam would punish me, so I was in a panic. Please don't bother with me, Prince."

Chen Tianlin's eyes flashed with irony. Jiang Lian'er was really stupid. Did she think that she could rest easy just because her father got promoted and she gave birth to a son? Wasn't she suppressed by her elder sister in the beginning?

Now, look what he has heard. He thinks that his position as the crown prince will be lost sooner or later just because he heard a little rumor, and now he starts to act so arrogantly!

idiot!

Chen Tianlin was in no mood to argue with a servant, so he turned and left.

When he returned to his room, he saw a pot of unfamiliar flowers on the window. He asked what it was, and a beautiful woman immediately replied timidly, "It's a batch of orchids that the housekeeper just purchased. Two pots were sent to each room."

"Well, tea!"

The woman walked over slowly, served Chen Tianlin tea, and then carefully helped him undress. Suddenly, he grabbed the woman's hand, and the woman was so scared that her whole body froze.

"What? Are you so afraid of me?"

The woman shuddered and replied, "I...I just feel a little unwell and I am afraid that I can't serve the prince well."

Chen Tianlin sneered: "You are a concubine, it is not good to be too pretentious. According to the old rules, go over there and dance for me."

“Yes.” The woman was disheartened. She stood up and began to undress. Finally, she danced wearing only a veil. The mottled bruises on her body were visible to the naked eye.

Even though she jumped stiffly, Chen Tianlin still became excited. He took out a whip from somewhere and took the maid who dared not resist to the bed.

The maid's eyes were filled with tears: "Please have mercy on me, my Lord!"

Seeing her like this, Chen Tianlin thought of the stunning figure he had caught a glimpse of when he was rushing to the palace banquet, and he felt very happy: "Don't worry, I will be gentle!"

Having said that, Chen Tianlin was extremely excited. He knew that the rumors were good for him. He didn't know which person hated Princess Zhaohe so much and made up such nonsense, just to push Bai Zhaozhao into the quagmire. In this way, maybe he could really marry Bai Zhaozhao!

If that was the case, then he would be disrespectful to refuse. When Bai Zhaozhao married, he would let her see whether he was erect or not! As for the words that the man told him not to touch Bai Zhaozhao before he left, huh, how could asking for her hand in marriage be considered as touching her?

After torturing the maid until midnight, Chen Tianlin called the servants to carry her away, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Ten days passed, and there was still no movement in Prince An's Mansion and the Bai Mansion, but there was new progress in the rumors about Chen Tianlin's impotence.

It is said that several famous doctors were seen entering and leaving Dingyuan Marquis's mansion, but none of them could cure Chen Tianlin's impotence, which made the marquis' wife so angry that she cursed the doctors as mediocre.

Some people also said that the reason why Chen Tianlin had concubines was to torture them with tools. He even killed two of them and buried them in his garden. They were not even wrapped in straw mats. They were buried naked!

Oh my God, such detailed things are described with reason and evidence, I'm afraid it must be true!

Then the direction of the rumors changed again, and people said that the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion had evil intentions, and that Prince Chen was already a useless man, but he still had the nerve to marry the county lady. He was really a toad wanting to eat swan meat, and he was overestimating his own abilities!

However, some pedantic scholars said that how can an engagement be cancelled at will?

Some people even said that Princess Zhaohe coveted the prince, wasn't that wishful thinking? She was a perfect match for Chen Tianlin. Of course, only a few people said this, and most people were sensible and didn't dare to talk about the prince easily.

There are many different opinions and the truth is hard to tell.

February 2nd is a big day.

Dragon dance performances are held in many places, so most people in the capital like to go to the streets to watch the fun. And when the streets are crowded with people, someone beats the drum in front of the Jingzhao Yin Yamen!

The sound of drums was deafening, and immediately attracted a large number of people to come and see.

It’s Bai Zhaozhao.

She had a determined look on her face and was beating the drum rhythmically. Although she was dressed in plain clothes, she exuded a sense of tenacity.

Two yamen runners appeared quickly, and when they were about to ask loudly, they suddenly stopped. Coincidentally, they were the two yamen runners who had been waiting for the prisoner in the brothel with Bai Hao before.

They hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings to Princess Showa!"

The people were shocked. Is this the Princess Showa? The heroine in the rumor? Oh my god, she actually came to complain! I'm afraid there's something fishy about the engagement!

Bai Zhaozhao stopped beating the drum and said to the yamen runner, "Go and tell the Jingzhao Yin that I want to sue Dingyuan Marquis Mansion for forging a marriage certificate and defrauding the marriage! And it's also destroying my reputation!"

The bailiffs did not dare to delay and hurried to report it, but the people around were in an uproar!

My goodness, the marriage certificate is forged? I never thought that Dingyuan Marquis Mansion would dare to do this? Everyone has been arguing for so long about whether Princess Zhaohe should get married, but in the end it turned out to be a conspiracy to defraud marriage!

Oh my God, this is terrible. If this is really a marriage fraud, then it is probably true that Prince Chen is impotent!

Princess Zhaohe did not choose to go to the emperor for a decision, but instead went to the Jingzhao Yin, beat the drum in public and exposed the matter. She simply left no way out for herself. No matter what the facts were, once the Jingzhao Yin conducted a public trial, he would investigate the matter to the end. Who doesn't know that the Jingzhao Yin is famous for his integrity?

Soon, Jingzhao Yin sent someone to invite Bai Zhaozhao in, and at the same time accepted Bai Zhaozhao's complaint. He also sent someone to summon Chen Tianlin, the eldest son of Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, and issued an announcement that the case would be publicly tried in three days.

Of course, Jingzhao Yin was not stupid. He went into the palace after receiving the petition. In fact, Emperor Yongkang also heard the news from the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He also felt that the matter of the marriage certificate had caused too much trouble and he had a headache. He didn't know how to end it. As a result, Jingzhao Yin came to meet him today.

Okay, okay, Prince An didn’t show up, Bai Lin didn’t show up, but Princess Zhaohe showed up in person. He wanted to see how this matter was resolved.

Emperor Yongkang therefore ordered the Jingzhao Yin to enforce the law impartially, and allowed the crown prince to attend the trial but not to interfere.

After receiving the order, Jingzhao Yin quickly collected the whole story of the incident. He also paid a special visit to Prince An and arrested some suspicious people who spread the rumors. Of course, everything went very smoothly.

Chen Tianlin felt terrible after receiving the message, and Marquis Dingyuan was also extremely shocked. They didn't expect that the Bai family would not choose to compromise and negotiate, but to fight to the end.

Let's just go for it, who's afraid of who? So they took the marriage certificate, made some preparations, and went to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen.
