The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2710: Chapter 41: The Outcome

"Furthermore, the day Heir Ye was stopped by that girl Xiaoyu, Madam Situ and the commoner girl were at the teahouse across from Juhua Tower. As for the matter of the third concubine in the Situ Residence, at that time the residence needed to select a girl from among us to..."

"Shut up!" At this moment, State Duke Situ jumped out.

After four years, suddenly hearing about this matter again, State Duke Situ’s expression turned grim.

Why?

Because back then he intended to choose a girl to be by Prince He’s side.

If it were revealed that Prince He controlled the Baili Clan while he sent someone to Prince He’s side, the implications would be significant. Not only could he not explain, even if he could, the Emperor wouldn’t believe him, nor would any of the others present.

He didn’t realize Xiaofei was also aware of the matter, seemingly another one of those presumptuous foolish women was at play.

At this point, if he didn’t want Xiaofei to continue speaking, he could only admit to the matter! Furthermore, he had to punish this foolish woman, otherwise the Ye Family would likely expose it, considering Xiaofei was brought into the palace by them, she was certainly already interrogated. Now, they could only severely punish this foolish woman to appease the anger of the Ye Family.

"Your Majesty!" State Duke Situ knelt again, "I am guilty, I failed to manage the affairs of the harem, letting such filthy matters taint Your Majesty’s ears. On New Year’s Day, my unworthy wife was provoked by Madam Ye’s words in the palace, which mentioned matters of life and death, causing her to recall our two sons. The grief over their passing left her in unbearable pain. Thus, believing Madam Ye intentionally mocked her about our sons, led her to cause the situation today."

"Regardless of the reasons, today’s matter is entirely my unworthy wife’s fault. As a minister’s wife, she has brought no merit to the state or family, not only that but also plotted against the nobility, an unforgivable crime! However, having been married to her for many years, considering our matrimonial bond, I cannot bring myself to abandon her, so I request to strip her of the State Duchess’s Imperial Decree and send her to the manor as punishment!"

"You..." Madam Situ was too shocked, she closed her eyes and fainted on the spot, this time not feigned but truly unconscious.

However, State Duke Situ’s words brought a sigh of relief to the Empress, who was also aware of the matter from four years ago. If the girl were to speak out, she feared both she and the crown prince would be implicated.

This Xiaofei cannot be kept around!

Yang Chuxia was also curious, what exactly did Xiaofei intend to say that made State Duke Situ admit so quickly?

She thought there would be a tough battle today, but didn’t expect it to be resolved so smoothly!

Even Ye Rongqing and the others did not expect State Duke Situ to admit so swiftly.

Baili Yan’s gaze swept over him, to prevent further divulging of the matter, it seemed crucial not to let him know. Baili Yan was curious but knew not to delve too deeply, otherwise, it would be difficult to clean up.

"This is a matter between you and the Ye Family, whether it is acceptable or not, you should ask Madam Ye and Heir Ye!"

State Duke Situ turned and said, "Madam Ye, Heir Ye, today’s matter was due to my unworthy wife’s ignorance. Once she is clear-headed, she will certainly visit to apologize, restoring Heir Ye’s innocence."

Yang Chuxia also acknowledged this as the best outcome, with the State Duchess’s Imperial Decree revoked, and Ye Haoxuan’s memorial in place, the Situ family’s harem was likely to change drastically.

Take what you can get! She nodded slightly, "In that case, I shall await Madam Situ’s grand visit at home."

The matter resolved, everyone left the imperial palace.

As for Xiaofei and Xiaoyu, they were taken to the dungeon.

However, within two days, a carriage left the Capital City, inside was Xiaofei; the day she confessed, Ye Haoxuan promised to spare her life.
