Chapter 138 Mr. Hu ruins Chen Qingyin's reputation
Prime Minister Chen immediately explained to everyone.
"This matter concerns the reputation of my daughter Qingyin. I must get to the bottom of it."
"With so many distinguished guests here today, please be a witness and help cooperate with the investigation."
"It would also be a good idea to find out who the real culprit behind this is."
Everyone had no objection, but they didn't know how Prime Minister Chen planned to investigate.
Prime Minister Chen asked someone to bring in a screen.
All the women present, including their maids, had to say something behind the screen.
Let Manager Yu identify it.
Minister Ji frowned and was about to stop him, but was dragged outside by Chen Hanjing.
"General Chen, what are you doing?"
"Nothing to do. If you stay in there, I'm afraid you'll hinder my father's investigation. We also want to get to the bottom of this matter. Isn't this just the right opportunity to help you fulfill your duties?"
A trace of guilt flashed across Minister Ji's eyes, but Chen Hanjing's words made sense and he couldn't refute it.
Prime Minister Chen looked at Madam Chen and said, "Madam, we are the banker today. Since I made this request, we should start first."
"Why don't you be the representative? You and the maidservant beside you should go behind the screen and set an example for everyone."
Mrs. Chen's dignified expression remained unchanged. She nodded and walked behind the screen.
Starting from her and then her maid, Manager Yu all shook their heads after hearing their voices.
Next came the female guests and their maids, none of whom looked suspicious.
Suddenly, Hu Mianmian asked, "Why doesn't she go?"
The little guy pointed at Chen Luhua.
Everyone's eyes focused on her, and Chen Luhua's heart tightened.
"I, what was I going to do? When others were instructing this person, I hadn't even returned to Beijing yet!"
Hu Mianmian shook her head and pointed at her maid: "She is here, I recognize your maid, she was here when I came to the mansion to eat before!"
Chen Luhua's eyebrows jumped and she looked back.
The maid Yunxiang beside her had turned pale and was trembling.
Prime Minister Chen said in a dignified tone: "Mianmian is right. Since Luhua, you are also a member of the Chen family, then you should bring your maid to cooperate with the investigation."
Chen Luhua immediately winked at Yunxiang.
Yunxiang suddenly knelt down, lowering her voice and pretending to be embarrassed.
"My Lord, I caught a cold not long ago and have not recovered yet. I am afraid my voice is also..."
Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, Manager Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's her! The person who was talking to me behind the screen, that's the voice!" He pointed at Yunxiang.
Yunxiang was shocked, and then she became angry: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't even know you, and I have no grudge against the Third Miss, why would I instruct you to frame the Third Miss!"
Manager Yu said anxiously, "It's definitely true. Although I can't see her face through the screen every time, I can hear the sound of silver bells on her body when she moves!"
Prime Minister Chen frowned fiercely, and the butler beside him rushed forward and grabbed Yunxiang's wrist.
"No! No!" Yunxiang knelt down, but couldn't break free.
The housekeeper simply pulled up Yunxiang's sleeves, and on Yunxiang's wrist, there was a golden bell string made of colorful rope.
Prime Minister Chen shouted angrily: "Tell the truth!"
Madam Chen also hurriedly accused: "Yunxiang, you are a maid I trained myself, how dare you do such a bold thing?!" Yunxiang then cried and said: "It's all my fault, I...I remember that when the third lady was at home, she competed with the fourth lady."
"I am so angry that I want to vent my anger on Miss Fourth..."
This statement is full of loopholes.
How could a maid give Manager Yu so much money to bribe him?
Moreover, to vent his anger? Putting the blame of the murder on Chen Qingyin was clearly to ruin her reputation and make her unable to recover in this life!
How vicious.
Although Prime Minister Chen didn't say anything, he already had a vague guess in his heart.
His cold eyes swept across Mrs. Chen's face.
The latter sensed his suspicion and trembled in his heart.
Mrs. Chen angrily shouted at Yunxiang for being unfaithful. She rushed over, grabbed her by the collar, and slapped her hard on both sides, more than a dozen times.
Yunxiang's cheeks were swollen from being beaten, but she could not continue to be interrogated.
"You really disappoint me! Because of you, a maid, you almost caused a misunderstanding between the two young ladies. Master, please punish this slave severely!"
Prime Minister Chen said in a cold tone: "I will punish him, of course, but I don't believe it's that simple."
"Han Mo! Have someone take Yun Xiang into custody. I will interrogate her myself after today's incident!"
"Yes." Chen Hanmo bowed and asked Chen Dingming to take people to drag the maid away.
Prime Minister Chen looked at Minister Ji again.
"Now that the truth has been revealed, I also want Minister Ji to give me an explanation!"
Minister Ji had a sinister look in his eyes. He cupped his hands and smiled, "You are a good man, Prime Minister. It was indeed because I did not investigate this matter thoroughly that this joke happened."
"However, there is one more matter that I originally wanted to resolve privately. But since the Prime Minister is so powerful, why not try the other person in person?"
After that, he clapped his hands and said, "Bring Mr. Hu up here!"
Chen Qingyin was stunned.
Linlang: "Mr. Hu? Isn't he imprisoned in the prison? Why is he out making trouble again!"
After a while, Mr. Hu was brought up by the officers.
He was thin and covered with scars, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Qingyin was like that of a poisonous snake, wishing to tear her apart.
Minister Ji urged: "Mr. Hu, you are in prison and you said you want to sue your former daughter-in-law for adultery. What's going on? Now Miss Chen San and her father's family are here. You might as well explain it all at once!"
Mr. Hu said in a hoarse voice: "My son died unjustly and was wronged because of this vicious woman! She has been cheating on men since the wedding night. Her behavior is evil and vicious!"
This time, not only Chen Qingyin, but also everyone around was stunned.
what's the situation?
Mr. Hu was spitting and making passionate accusations.
He said that a few days after Hu Yunshen and Chen Qingyin got married, Hu Yunshen came to him and told him about a doubt he had.
Hu Yunshen suspected that he was knocked unconscious on his wedding night and did not have sex, but there was blood on his handkerchief.
"This matter has always troubled my son Yun Shen's heart, so he would rather fight outside in recent years than go home to face his wife who betrayed him and his daughter who is not his own flesh and blood."
"But even though Hu Mianmian was not his own flesh and blood, he still took good care of her and gave her due responsibility. But Chen Qingyin, this vicious woman, actually killed him!"
Chen Hanjing shouted angrily: "Speak with evidence. My sister was innocent and married into your family. How did she become the kind of person you said she was?"
"Besides, Hu Yunshen has been dead for a long time, and there is no way to find out. You want to fabricate it and ruin my sister's reputation. No way!"
Mr. Hu bowed and said, "I have brought some of my son Yunshen's bones here today. We can test them and find out if Hu Mianmian is our Hu family's child!"
Chen Qingyin's face turned pale.
