Chapter 338: Chapter 338: Shameless

Translator: 549690339

But, isn’t it too much for such a trivial matter to be brought to the Jingzhao Magistrate’s office?

Do they want everyone in Chang’an City to know that I tried to steal someone?

I’m going to be killed by my stupid wife.

After answering, Zhang Wang glared angrily at his wife.

Madam Wang saw this and thought, I haven’t even scolded you yet, so she glared back even harder.

In the courtroom, the two were just like two fighting roosters.

Lu Xun pounded the gavel: “Zhang Wang, did you and Ms. Liu agree to meet at the Tea Delight Inn?”

Zhang Wang looked at his wife and saw that she wasn’t reacting, so he thought that since the matter had already been exposed, there was no point in hiding it any longer. He nodded feebly: “Yes.”

“Shameless!” Madam Wang cursed with hatred.

Lu Xun looked at her.

Madam Wang murmured with her head down, “I’m just upset, if Master Lu were cuckolded, he wouldn’t be able to bear it either.”

Lu Xun couldn’t help but smile wryly.

That’s why he always hated dealing with women, they were too troublesome.

He asked Zhang Wang, “After you went there, what happened?”

Zhang Wang rubbed his head, “I went there at the appointed time, but just as I arrived at the door, I was knocked unconscious by someone. When I woke up, I saw two officers…”

Lu Xun frowned, “Did you get a clear look at the person?”

Zhang Wang shook his head, “Not at all. I have no idea if they were male or female, young or old.”

“Did you and Ms. Liu make the appointment long in advance?”

“Yes, we agreed to meet at the Tea Delight Inn tonight.”

“Who else knows about this?”

“No one else, I guess…” Zhang Wang shook his head, “I wouldn’t tell others about such a thing.”

Everyone looked at Ms. Liu.

Ms. Liu seemed somewhat bewildered, “I didn’t tell anyone else either. But… maybe my maid Xiaohuan knows?”

“Where’s Xiaohuan? Call her in for questioning!”

“Xiaohuan… died of illness a few days ago.”

Everyone was speechless.

After all the questioning, they were still clueless.

However, since Ms. Liu and Zhang Wang both admitted to being each other’s secret lovers, it naturally proved that the Crown Prince was not involved with a married woman.

But the fact that he broke into someone’s house at night and embraced her couldn’t be denied.

As for who the mastermind behind it all was, Lu Xun had no competence to investigate.

It’s better to leave it for the Crown Prince to worry about himself.

So, Master Lu banged the gavel, and court was adjourned!

It’s difficult for a fair official to settle domestic disputes. The matters between Ms. Liu and Madam Wang had been clarified. As for how to resolve the problems, they could go home and solve them on their own.

As soon as the noisy group had left, Lu Xun hurried to Li Jixian’s side.

Li Jixian looked solemn, “Master Lu really dares to handle any case.”

Lu Xun repeatedly said, “I dare not, Your Highness, please don’t be angry.”

Since Lu Xun was not a follower of the Crown Prince, Li Jixian couldn’t do anything to him for the time being. He stood up, snorted heavily, and left with a flick of his sleeve.

It was already dark outside, and there were hardly any people around.

Li Jixian couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope, thinking that it was night after all. If he started to seal up people’s mouths right away, he might still be able to suppress the matter.

So, he immediately called Attendant No. 2 and made arrangements to silence the people who needed to be silenced.

If word got out, no one would get away with it.

He had no intention of returning to the East Palace, so he spent the night in one of his own residences nearby. In the morning, looking at the bright sunlight outside and the quiet courtyard, his mood improved inexplicably.

It’s so quiet, should everything be fine now, right?
