Chapter 100: Confrontation Again
The Marquis of Zhongyong and his wife were furious at Master Meng's unreasonable words.

Marquis Zhongyong: "Master Meng, what you mean is that my daughter was bullied innocently and it has nothing to do with your Meng family?"

"Of course, your Bai family is just a bunch of ruffians. We were lucky enough to follow a good master and earn some military merits, so we washed the mud off our legs and transformed ourselves into the upper class," said Master Meng proudly. "My Meng family has been an aristocratic family since the previous dynasty. My third sister is the wife of Prince Xuan, and my second brother is a second-rank official. Every one of our children is outstanding."

"Bullying the Bai family? Do you think your Bai family is qualified?"

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was so angry that her eyes turned red. "Master Meng thinks so highly of himself, yet he is nothing more than a commoner! And the wife he appointed as his wife is merely the daughter of a criminal from the previous dynasty!"

Lin glared at Zhao fiercely.

Zhao sneered, "No wonder Princess Zhaoshan...

"That's enough," King Xuan interrupted, "let's get down to business."

Zhao was stunned.

Princess Xuan took out the wooden token from her sleeve and said, "This was dropped from the masked man in black. I've seen it, and it's indeed the Meng family's token."

Lin quietly clenched her sleeves.

Master Meng took the token and casually threw it on the table. "What's a token worth? If you pick up the token, it means you are ordered by my Meng family? If you pick up the token of Prince Xuan's palace, it means you are ordered by Prince Xuan?"

This sounds shameless, but there is a grain of truth in it.

Marquis Zhongyong: "The evidence is right before our eyes. Master Meng, what you said means you will never admit it?"

"Evidence? What kind of evidence is this? If your good son-in-law picked up the jade pendant of my family's patriarch, that would be evidence!" Master Meng waved his hand. "Okay, Master, I reluctantly accept this evidence, but what about the motive? What reason does my Meng family have to plot against the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion?"

"The Meng family has always coexisted peacefully with King Xuan's men, and we've always helped whenever we could. Back when the loyal and brave Marquis was defending the city, our Meng family even donated rice for free!" Elder Meng sneered, "I'm afraid the loyal and brave Marquis is a forgetful person, so he's probably forgotten it a long time ago!"

Marquis Zhongyong clenched his fists.

"Who said there's no motive?" Zhao pointed at Lin and said, "During the Jing'an Temple Dharma Assembly, Madam Meng and Miss Meng were humiliated by Princess Zhaoshan and forced to buy 100,000 kilograms of soybean oil!"

"Has the wife of the Loyal and Brave Marquis been so angry that her anger has spread to her brain?" Master Meng took out the folding fan from his waist. "Listen to what she said. Does it have anything to do with the Loyal and Brave Marquis's money?"

If there is any revenge, it should be taken against Princess Zhaoshan!
Zhao was speechless. What should she say? Should she say that it was her daughter who instigated this?
Wouldn't that make people think that her daughter deserved the suffering she suffered!

Lin rolled her eyes and said, "Since the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery doesn't want to speak, then I will speak for her."

"During the Jing'an Temple Dharma Assembly, Princess Zhaoshan donated soybean oil. Miss Zhongyong Hou insisted that the soybean oil was animal oil, and in a few words, she instigated Miss Gu Qi to cause trouble."

"As my aunt, I naturally had to help my niece. I made a bet with Princess Zhaoshan, and after it was confirmed that the soybean oil wasn't animal oil, I accepted the loss and kept my promise, donating 100,000 kilograms of soybean oil. The matter has been resolved."

"I wonder if the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery brought this up again because she's suspecting the Meng family or Princess Zhaoshan?"

Zhao choked. Lin hit the nail on the head. Compared to the Meng family, she suspected Princess Zhaoshan more!
"Great, so it turns out the drunkard's intention is not to drink. The Marquis of Zhongyong doesn't dare to approach the princess directly, so he uses my Meng family as a scapegoat!" Master Meng slammed the table and stood up. "Do you really think my Meng family is easy to bully?"

King Xuan looked at Marquis Zhongyong speechlessly.

Who do you suspect? Give me the answer!

Marquis Zhongyong also looked at Zhao in confusion.

Zhao gritted her teeth and said, "Princess Zhaoshan, please come forward to confront us."

Princess Xuan was unhappy, "What does this have to do with Princess Zhaoshan?"

The princess of a country is the wife of a minister like you, so why would you confront her just because of what you said?

Yang Zhui glanced at his mother-in-law, whose face flushed red, and stepped forward, saying, "Your Highness and Princess, when I was taking my wife to hide from the killer bees at the Green Shrimp House, I heard someone inside the restaurant calling out a warning. I sent someone to inquire, and they confirmed that Princess Zhaoshan was at the restaurant at the time."

Zhao suddenly felt more confident. "Princess, why is Princess Zhaoshan there? This can't be explained by coincidence, right?"

"If it's really a coincidence..." "Impossible!" Zhao glanced at Prince Xuan and his wife, who clearly didn't want to involve Princess Zhaoshan, and gritted her teeth, "After the Jing'an Temple ceremony, Princess Zhaoshan threatened Rouyin in front of me, saying bluntly that if it happened again, don't blame her for being cruel!"

"Hmph," Master Meng snorted coldly, "I was wondering why the prince and princess were so ruthless towards the Meng family. It turns out they wanted to protect their daughter-in-law!"

Lin chimed in, "It seems that Princess Zhaoshan is highly suspected. It's really pitiful for Miss Zhongyong. How could such a thing happen on her wedding day?"

Marquis Zhongyong knelt down and pleaded, "Princess Zhaoshan, please come forward to confront us."

King Xuan and his wife looked at each other and said, "Go and invite the princess."

Nanny Meng left with a gloomy face. Half an incense stick later, Nanny Meng came back alone.

Princess Xuan asked, "Where is Zhaoshan?"

Just as Nanny Meng was about to answer, she heard a sharp shout from outside, "Let me go!"

Everyone in the house was startled and hurried out.

In the front yard of Minghui Hall, Bai Rouyin held Tang Zhao tightly with one hand and stabbed Tang Zhao's face with a hairpin in the other hand, "I'm going to kill you!"

Tang Zhao dodged and grabbed Bai Rouyin's wrist when the hairpin came at him again. "Have you had enough of making trouble? This princess has tolerated you for a long time!"

Bai Rouyin cursed loudly, "Tang Zhao, you will die a miserable death!"

Tang Zhao was extremely annoyed and kicked him out immediately.

Bai Rouyin only felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, and her whole body flew backwards uncontrollably and hit the rockery heavily.

The broken rocks from the rockery fell to the ground along with Bai Rouyin.

"Rouyin!" Zhao was terrified and ran over without caring about her manners. She sat on the ground and held her daughter in her arms.

Bai Rouyin spat out a large pool of blood.

The loyal and brave Marquis's eyes were bloodshot, "How dare you hit my son?" and attacked with a palm.

Tang Zhao had no time to dodge, so he raised his arm to take the blow.

At this time, a figure came at high speed, stretched out his arms to hold Tang Zhao's waist, and gently pulled her into his arms.

Gu Ci held Tang Zhao in his arms and blocked the palm strike from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery with one hand.

Seeing that his first attack failed, Marquis Zhongyong changed his palm into a fist and rushed towards Tang Zhao.

Gu Ci responded while saying, "Lord of Loyalty and Bravery, if you want to confront me, then confront me. Why are you using such a deadly attack?"

"Did Rouyin get kicked by her for nothing?"

"Although Zhao Shan's attack was a bit ruthless, it was also to protect himself." Gu Ci frowned, "Do we really want to let Miss Bai take Zhao Shan's life?"

The Duke of Zhongyong also knew that it was his daughter who did something wrong first, but as a parent, seeing his own child suffer such a great insult first and then such a serious injury right under his nose, even the most rational person would be blinded by the love for his child.

The loyal and brave Marquis threw a punch with all his strength.

Just as Gu Ci was about to take it, he saw a tall figure suddenly appear in front of him.

King Xuan took the blow and said sternly, "Bai Wei, stop."

King Xuan: You are a good man, but when it comes to matters concerning your wife and children, it’s like being kicked in the head by a donkey.

Zhao Zhao: Kicked by Bai Rouyin.
