Chapter 122 Su Yinyin's premarital pregnancy is brought up again
The old man's face was terribly cold. Su Yinyin sensed this and comforted him, "Don't be angry."
Su Yinyin said to Lu Jingxuan, who was lying on the ground, "Young master, what do you want to do?"
Lu Jingxuan was furious. He had never been hit before in his life. All he did was strike up a conversation. Why did they hit him so hard?
Lu Jingxuan stood up, pointed at Su Yinyin, and said, "A piece of trash, what's she pretending to be so noble for? Everyone, take a look at this woman. Six years ago, she got pregnant out of wedlock and gave birth to a son. I don't know why she still has the face to live in this world."
Lu Jingxuan's words aroused the curiosity of those around him. Everyone gathered around to see what was going on.
The old man raised his hand, intending to kill this vile woman. Su Yin stopped him.
Lu Jingxuan saw this move as a sign of weakness, which made him even more smug, his face full of malicious smiles.
Su Yinyin remained calm and composed, her gaze steady and resolute as she looked at Lu Jingxuan: "So what if I'm pregnant out of wedlock? Do you think I'm eating your food, drinking your water, or having you support me? Or have I harmed you?"
Su Yinyin turned to look at everyone present and asked, "Or have I, Su Yinyin, ever wronged any of you?"
No one present could answer. Even though she was pregnant out of wedlock, she hadn't harmed them.
Su Yinyin continued, "I, Su Yinyin, was originally the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongyi's mansion. How did I, a woman who rarely left my home, manage to become pregnant out of wedlock?"
I don't know. If anyone wants to know why I became pregnant out of wedlock, they can ask the Lady of the Marquis of Yongyi's household and Su Yinhan, the concubine of Prince Yong'an, my former dear sister.
Upon hearing Su Yinyin's words, the crowd erupted in an uproar. They whispered amongst themselves, casting suspicious glances at Lu Jingxuan.
Lu Jingxuan was startled, not expecting Su Yinyin to dare openly point the finger at the Marquis's wife and Su Yinhan. But he still stubbornly said, "Don't try to deny it, there's no smoke without fire."
Su Yinyin sneered: "I would never stoop to the level of a petty person like you, but I will not let this go so easily after you have slandered me like this. I, Su Yinyin, have been raised with strict discipline since childhood, yet I have been framed for no reason. If anyone does not believe me, they are welcome to investigate and see if I have been secretly plotted against."
At this moment, an elderly man stepped forward from the crowd. He was a man of considerable renown in the city. He stroked his beard and said, "This matter is indeed strange. Miss Su is right. Young Master Lu's unfounded accusations are likely instigated by someone."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingxuan's face turned deathly pale, and his eyes began to dart around. He knew that if things escalated, the person behind him would abandon him.
Seeing this, Su Yinyin pressed her advantage: "I hope this matter ends here. If there is a next time, I will definitely not let you off." After saying that, she calmly left with Lao Yi, leaving Lu Jingxuan standing there at a loss.
Old Yi watched Su Yinyin's retreating figure and knew that the young lady was in pain.
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and a magnificent carriage stopped in front of them.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and a young man dressed in fine clothes stepped out. He glanced at Su Yinyin, his eyes filled with pity, then looked coldly at Lu Jingxuan, "Today I have witnessed the shamelessness of this world, daring to bully my future queen."
It turns out that the son Su Yinyin gave birth to out of wedlock was the Regent's.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingxuan was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
Su Yinyin was truly angry. Why did Zhou Yuan always act this way? He was so self-righteous. Hadn't he listened to a single word she said before? He'd made this public. What was he trying to do?
Su Yinyin bit her lower lip and strode towards Zhou Yuan. "Your Highness, how could you be so reckless? Do you know how much trouble this will cause me?"
Zhou Yuan looked at Su Yinyin with doting eyes and reached out to pull her closer, but she dodged him. "I just feel sorry for you being wronged and don't want anyone to bully you anymore."
Su Yinyin's eyes reddened with anger. "But if you do this, the whole capital will know about my shameful past. How will I ever be able to stand up again?"
Zhou Yuan then realized his rashness and quickly apologized. "Yinyin, it was my oversight. I will protect you and not let anyone harm you in the slightest."
Su Yinyin took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. "Your Highness, please think twice before you act in the future. What's done is done, and we can only try to find a way to remedy the situation."
As for Lu Jingxuan, although he has been warned, we cannot let our guard down. We need to have someone keep an eye on him to prevent him from causing any more trouble. And our child—we absolutely cannot allow him to suffer even the slightest harm.”
Zhou Yuan nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, Yinyin, I will do whatever you say."
Su Yinyin sighed helplessly, "Old One, let's go." Turning to Zhou Yuan, she said, "Don't follow me, I get annoyed just looking at you."
Su Yinyin's departure stunned everyone present.
Su Yinyin left with another man, but what about the Regent? Why wasn't the Regent angry?
After Su Yinyin left, she lost interest in shopping. She asked Lao Yi to take her back to the Divine Doctor's Pavilion.
Back at the Divine Physician's Pavilion, Su Yinyin rested for a while before disguising herself as a divine physician.
She then entered the palace with the head of the Divine Physician Pavilion. She promised the emperor that she would deliver the elixir to him that day.
Su Yinyin and the Divine Physician Pavilion Master entered the palace, where palace maids and eunuchs bowed to them along the way. Upon arriving at the Imperial Study, they announced their arrival before entering the room.
The emperor's eyes flashed with anticipation when he saw Su Yinyin. "Divine Physician, I have been anxiously awaiting this elixir."
Su Yinyin respectfully presented the elixir. The emperor accepted it, examined it carefully, and then took it. Within moments, he felt refreshed and invigorated, and his imperial countenance was filled with joy. "The divine physician is indeed a master; I will certainly not treat you unfairly."
Just then, a commotion arose outside. It turned out that Lu Jingxuan was requesting an audience.
He entered and saw a stranger he had never seen before, and curiously glanced at him a few times. In an instant, he put on a pitiful look and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
The emperor asked impatiently, "What brings you to the palace, young man?"
Lu Jingxuan replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am here to visit my aunt, the Noble Consort. I have come to pay my respects to Your Majesty first."
The emperor said in a calm tone, "Oh, greetings, you may leave."
Seeing that the emperor was not as talkative as usual and was about to dismiss him, Lu Jingxuan said to His Majesty without thinking, "I encountered some interesting things on the street today, and I don't know if I should tell Your Majesty."
The emperor said unhappily, "Can't you see that I have guests here?"
The emperor was now preoccupied with communicating with the divine physician and figuring out how to keep him by his side and make him work for him.
Su Yinyin spoke up, curious about what this man surnamed Lu wanted to say. "Your Majesty, since this young master has said it's an interesting story from the common people, why not listen and have a good laugh?"
The emperor glanced at the divine physician and, seeing his keen interest, said, "What is it? Stand up and tell me."
When Lu Jingxuan saw the person next to him speak, the emperor agreed. He couldn't help but scrutinize the masked man sitting to the side.
Moreover, sitting next to the Emperor was an immense honor. So he nodded obsequiously to Su Yinyin. "Your Majesty," he said, "today on the street, I encountered Su Yinyin, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongyi. This Su Yinyin became pregnant out of wedlock a few years ago and gave birth to a son. And that man was none other than the Regent."
How could such an unchaste woman be fit to be the Regent's woman?
