Chapter 314 Confession
"What else do you have to say? Now that the evidence is overwhelming, there's no room for further sophistry."
When Physician Qu nodded, Aunt Wang collapsed to the ground, feeling utterly hopeless. She never imagined that in the end, she would still be exposed.
Wang Xi was already disfigured, and she was about to succeed and become the matriarch of the Zhang family. Her son, Zhang Zong, was about to become the eldest son, and the Zhang family would belong to them. But now, all her efforts have been in vain.
"Zhang Xian, what do you think we should do with this woman?"
"Brother, I..." Zhang Xian was still in a daze. He had never really liked Aunt Wei because she wasn't good-looking, but he would visit her from time to time because she had given birth to his eldest son.
Every time she went there, Aunt Wei never said what she wanted and always served her very gently. Little did she know that she was a heartless serpent.
"Aunt Wei, why did you drug the Madam? It didn't do you any good at all." Zhang Xian was still somewhat puzzled.
"Why? I just can't stand her face. Why does she have such a good family background and such an outstanding appearance? She gets all the good things. So I'll ruin her face." Aunt Wei's face was now contorted with rage, like a completely different person from before.
"You've been in this manor for so many years, and you've seen my face for so long, yet you still can't stand it?" Wang Xi was full of doubt. If you couldn't stand Wang Xi's face, wouldn't you have drugged him long ago? Why wait nearly twenty years?
"Why? You clearly don't like the master, yet you still marry him. My son is the only son in the Zhang family, but because of you, he has to bear the name of an illegitimate son!" Aunt Wei shouted hysterically.
"Master, why do you like Wang Xi? Is it just because of her face? She clearly doesn't like you. No matter how beautiful her face is, she's not yours." Aunt Wei looked at Zhang Xian with a face full of accusation.
Zhang Xian watched as Aunt Wei screamed like a madwoman, feeling utterly disgusted. He was about to speak when he was interrupted again.
"Haha, do you know why Wang Xi hasn't had any children all these years?" Aunt Wei laughed like a madwoman at everyone.
"Aunt Wei, shut up!" Zhang Xian was clearly flustered.
"Why should I shut up? Wang Xi has been forbidden from being touched by you for so many years, and you still protect her. Do you like her that much?" Aunt Wei roared at Zhang Xian with sarcasm.
“You…” Zhang Xian was furious with Aunt Wei. This idiot, was it because of her face? He could find beautiful women anywhere. He was after Wang Xi’s power, the power that would allow him to rise to the top.
Of course, he liked Wang Xi's face at first, but Wang Xi never let him touch her, so he didn't care. However, having such a wife was still a source of pride in front of outsiders.
The others were also shocked. This...this...this is too unbelievable. You know, Zhang Xian and Wang Xi have been married for almost twenty years. Have they never shared a bed in twenty years?
This is still a normal couple. If they didn't like each other, why did they get married in the first place? Were they just bored?
Wang Yang looked at his sister in disbelief. He had always thought that his sister was infertile, which was why she had tolerated Zhang Xian so many times and even used her connections to help Zhang Xian get the position of Prefect of the Capital at a young age. He never expected that it was his sister who was unwilling.
But why? Wasn't it her own sister who insisted on marrying Zhang Xian back then?
"Little sister," Wang Yang wanted to ask Wang Xi.
"Brother, let's talk about it later." Wang Xi shook his head; now was not the time to discuss this.
"Guards, throw Aunt Wei and Xiao Shui into jail immediately!" Zhang Xian was furious. Nothing could be more humiliating than this: his wife wouldn't let him touch her, and now so many people knew about it.
"It's all because of this Aunt Wei," Zhang Xian said, looking at Aunt Wei with a sinister gaze. "This Aunt Wei can't be allowed to live anymore."
Having already offended the Wang family, keeping the person would be tantamount to going against them. Now is not the time to break ties with the Wang family.
The crowd outside, watching Aunt Wei and Xiao Shui being pinned down, were all talking amongst themselves.
"What's wrong with Aunt Wei? Could it be that Aunt Wei poisoned the Madam?" a maid whispered.
"Stop talking, the young master is watching." The maid next to her immediately pulled her aside.
The little maid looked up and saw Zhang Zong's gloomy face staring intently at her, and immediately lowered her head in fright.
Emperor Zhangzong noted down the maid's appearance, but he didn't have time to deal with her now; he would deal with her later.
Zhang Zong withdrew his gaze and then walked towards Aunt Wei with concern.
"Auntie, what's wrong? Why are these people pressing you down?" Zhang Zong looked at his aunt with heartache. His aunt used to care about her image the most, always keeping her hair smooth and shiny, but now it was disheveled. She must have suffered a lot.
Seeing that the two servants were still holding down Aunt Wei's arms, Boss Zhang said angrily, "How dare you! Let her go!"
"Young Master, this is what Master ordered. Please don't make things difficult for me." The servant didn't want to either, but their master was Zhang Xian.
"You, you all have a death wish, don't you?" Zhang Zong's eyes turned red with anger as he saw that this person was not giving him any face.
"Auntie."
"Zong'er, Mother may not be able to stay with you anymore. You must take good care of yourself from now on." Aunt Wei looked at Zhang Zong with loving eyes, her voice full of regret.
"Mother, what are you saying? Why can't you stay with me? What happened? Why is Father treating you like this?" Zhang Zong felt cold all over and asked excitedly. He didn't want to leave his mother; she was the one who loved him the most in the family.
"Alright, Zong'er, don't ask anymore. Just remember what your mother told you." Aunt Wei didn't want to say these things in front of so many people, making things difficult for her son later.
"Mother, no, I won't let you leave me."
"Mother, I'm going to find Father." Zhang Zong said and ran into the house.
Zhang Xian entered the room without even looking at anyone else, and went straight to Zhang Xian, saying, "Father, why did you lock my mother up in jail? Please release her."
"Zhang Xian, does your son even know any manners? He actually calls a concubine 'mother'," Wang Yang sneered.
These words immediately broke Zhang Zong's defenses, and he glared angrily at Wang Yang: "Was it you? Was it you who bullied my mother?"
"Heh, it's me. What are you going to do about it?" Wang Yang's expression was particularly irritating, which further provoked Zhang Zong.
"Father, did you hear that? You must avenge Mother and drive them out!"
Zhang Xian looked on helplessly, wondering how he could have such a stupid son.
