A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Chapter 1149 - 926 The Truth 5 (Seeking Votes for More Updates)

"The mistakes that all fathers make, are you Lu Yunsheng’s father?""Of course I am!"

"I mean his biological father!"

"I am! I... I am not... I am his adoptive father, everyone knows he is the heir of the Prince’s Mansion, I am merely his adoptive father!"

Princess Lianchun deliberately set a trap while questioning Lu Zezhong.

Lu Zezhong, in his haste, originally intended to erase the scandal of exam fraud. Little did he expect Princess Lianchun to turn the question towards Li Yunsheng’s identity.

Thus, he accidentally revealed his inner thoughts!

Princess Lianchun stared fixedly at Lu Zezhong, as Xiaosuisui handed her a piece of paper with just three words written on it.

[Careless]

"You just said that everyone knows you are Lu Yunsheng’s adoptive father?"

Princess Lianchun asked coldly.

"Of course, Princess Lianchun, you have been wandering for more than a decade and suddenly returned, intervening in court affairs. What are your intentions?

Could it be that you wish to emulate Emperor Wu and seize the throne?"

"Lu Zezhong, you are out of line!"

Almost as soon as Lu Zezhong finished speaking, the Emperor slammed the desk and shouted angrily.

Lu Zezhong abruptly knelt on the ground and began kowtowing.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die. Grant me justice, Your Majesty, for I truly had no choice. Thirteen springs ago, I inadvertently adopted a child.

After recovering from his illness, he lost his memory and forgot who he was, so I adopted him.

Everyone who knows me is aware of this matter!

Later, he followed me to Yunhang for disaster relief, uncovered Wu Li’s conspiracy, and even recalled his past. Only then did everyone know he was the orphan of the Prince’s Mansion.

Similarly, it was also at that time that I learned of his true identity!"

Lu Zezhong knelt on the ground, pretending to plead for justice.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!

Princess Lianchun is trying to put a hat on my head, refusing to acknowledge Lu Yunsheng as the orphan of the Prince’s Mansion!"

Lu Zezhong continued to plead.

Liu Yuheng also knelt down and began to plead for justice.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!

These years, I have been diligent in my position, working tirelessly day and night, always putting public affairs before private ones. My wife is about to return to her parents’ home.

Unexpectedly, despite my dedication to the Great Han, I am still suspected!

I am truly unjustly accused!

I beg Your Majesty to grant me justice!"

Lu Zezhong and Liu Yuheng sang in unison, crying bitterly on the ground, turning the entire Imperial Study into a chorus of cries!

Princess Lianchun’s face turned black. Such superb acting!

"The two of you perform so well, it must be a great joke for Lord Li!"

Ji Youzhi walked in, followed by Li Xu from the Government Office!

Li Xu didn’t know what was going on?

He was handling official duties in the office when Ji Youzhi came in with two Inner Guards, telling him that the Emperor summoned him.

When he saw Ji Youzhi, his heart sank, wondering which matter Ji Youzhi had discovered.

But thinking it over, it seemed impossible; the Li Family was always cautious, unlikely to leave any evidence.

If something were to happen, it should be the second issue surfacing first.

If the second issue had really surfaced, the family would have informed him.

Even though he felt uneasy today, he hadn’t received any messages from the family.

This indicated that everything at home was stable.

Thinking this way, Li Xu felt a bit relieved.

So, he turned to Ji Youzhi to inquire what had happened?

For what reason did His Majesty summon him?

Why wasn’t it Eunuch Ling who delivered the message?

Ji Youzhi did not answer but said he would find out once they arrived at the Palace, assuring him it wasn’t anything bad!

Hearing it wasn’t anything bad, Li Xu immediately felt at ease.

Walking up to the Palace gates, he still hadn’t seen anyone from the Li Family, which reassured him further.

Li Xu did not realize that the office staff had been instructed not to pass any messages indoors, otherwise it would be a matter of losing one’s head.

Li Xu happily followed Ji Youzhi into the Palace, but upon reaching the Imperial Study door, he heard Lu Zezhong rambling on, nearly scaring him to death.

He knew Ji Youzhi was investigating the arson and massacre case of the Prince’s Mansion, but did not expect...

He had people secretly monitoring Ji Youzhi for a long time, yet saw no action from him.

All day, he was either checking their archival records or the Government Office’s records!
