The Marquis' Wife
Liang Chenyue was arrested

Prefect Zhong read the report of his men with a cold face, his hands tightly grasping the tip of the paper containing the report.

"Heh~ hahaha.How dare he put a rat in my house!!". This was no longer Lu Xiang's personal matter but his.

He did not expect that his wife's niece was so brave to put a spy in the main house occupied by his wife and it had been many years!!.

Imagining the maid reporting an important incident that had occurred in her home making the veins on her head pop, she took a deep breath feeling a headache from being too shocked to receive the report.

Liang Chenyue!!

He got this big clue due to the fault of the servant employed by Liang Chenyue, he got whispers and suspicions from his concubine and ordered the guards to watch the place where the party was held without being discovered.

Prefect Zhong told his servant to clean up the party tomorrow because it was already night and, although hesitant and astonished by the order, all the servants complied except for a servant who came to the front yard and take the cake plate.

After being caught by the guard, the waiter initially said that he wanted to eat the cake because he wanted it so badly and nothing happened after he ate the two cookies on the plate.

But Prefect Zhong was very suspicious of course did not immediately believe the words of the waiter because the rest of the cake was also in the kitchen. For what the waiter bothered to take the cake in the front yard and make others suspicious of him.

"Tabib, analyze this cake is there a poison that is harmful to the human body?" What he thought was a slow-acting poison that people were unaware of the source of the poison.

The healer smoothed half the cake, smelled the scent and tasted it but found no suspicious composition.

"There's nothing suspicious about this prefect's cake".

Prefect Zhong grew even more confused and began to doubt his suspicions but he tried to remain suspicious and started thinking from another point of view and it worked.

He asked from the seat where the cake was taken and was surprised when he received the answer because he remembered very well that it was the seat of Lu Xiang and his wife.

What a terrible coincidence!!.

Prefect Zhong also changed the question, is the cake dangerous for pregnant women?.

The physician was stunned and realized something he had missed and then went back to analyzing and showing other results.

"In this cake there are two spices that are dangerous for pregnant women, namely fenugreek and asafoeda spices. Pregnant women can experience severe contractions to miscarriage if they eat a lot of these two spices. Prefect, in this cake there are many two spices".

Prefect Zhong's eyes grew bigger, the caught servant began to panic and kowtow to beg for mercy but was completely unmoved by his master.

Which Prefect Zhong thought what if it happened to Adelia while she was at her family party!!.

It was not only Lu Xiang who became cold-hearted but also the families of mayors from various regions and other scholar families. Who would believe him if he could poison the wife of the person who had just meritorious and contributed to him!.

Imagining such a risk made Prefect Zhong's body shudder in horror. Liang Chenyue not only wanted to destroy Adelia but also her family!!!.

"Torture this servant until he says who told him to do that heinous thing!!!". Even though he already has a candidate for the perpetrator but he must receive evidence and testimony in order to catch the damn woman!!.

Liang Chenyue had almost made her career that had just brilliantly fall apart!!.

The servant finally gave up after being tortured for two hours and let out whatever he knew. "Ampuni servant of the great lord!! Madame Zheng threatened the servant with the servant family if the servant did not do her wish!!! Servant beg pardon Prefect Zhong, you may kill the servant but please release the servant family!!!".

The servant hit him on the head several times until he finally died, this is better than being punished in public and making his family ashamed!!.

Prefect Zhong held onto his aching chest, the various things that Liang Chenyue had done to his family that even tried to poison his beloved concubine!!!, he thought that it was because of the carelessness of concubine Meng and did not listen to the explanation of the woman who accused her of doing so!!.

"Why don't you trust me!! I miscarried because your wife did not tolerate me to have a son!!!"

Because of the incident, he began to move away from concubine Meng although eventually made up but the relationship between the two is not as smooth as before.

What made Liang Chenyue so bold to do that?!!.

Prefect Zhong's thoughts were on his wife who stunned him and then laughed. His eyes became so cold.

"Order the attendant to arrest Ling's servant and arrest Liang Chenyue for me!!".

He could no longer tolerate the attitude of the woman, if now he dared to harm others in his residence then tomorrow he even dared to harm her if he thought it was not in line and useful anymore!!.

That afternoon, the public was shocked by the news of the attempted murder by Mrs Zheng, who in fact was the nephew of Prefect Zhong's wife.

They had not expected that the rumors about something happening at the Zhong family party related to Lu Xiang were true!!.

Zheng Hui and his children were also shocked to see many officers coming to their house and arresting Liang Chenyue!!.

"What are you guys doing?! Don't you know whose house this is?!!". Zheng Hui tried to hold back but of course his strength was not worth the yamen officer who had martial arts.

"I'm sorry for our stupidity Mr. Zheng. We have come here to arrest the perpetrator who tried to commit murder on the wife of the scholar Xiefu. Please your cooperation".

"You are crazy!! You don't know who I am?!! I am the nephew of Prefect Zhong's wife, I can destroy your career and family just by snapping a finger!!" Liang Chenyue was unaware of her current state and was still acting arrogant.

Zheng Hui looked disapprovingly at his wife but still persuaded the yamen officer and said that this must be a misunderstanding.

"Master and mistress Zheng. We are only obeying orders and these orders come directly from Prefect Zhong, if you do not agree to this order please pass it to the Prefect yourself!!" The yamen attendant became annoyed and forthright, no longer appreciating Liang Chenyue and Zheng Hui.

"No! Unhand me!! Unleash it. You will regret doing this!! Remember what I said you'll regret doing this to me!!".

Liang Chenyue's rebellion had absolutely no effect on the yames officers. His loud shout made the crowd gather outside the gate and saw him being pulled with his hands tied back, Liang Chenyue's face was so flushed red with anger and embarrassment.

The news of Liang Chenyue being arrested spread throughout the city of Fucheng, Zhong Prefects' men herded the topic by making the community focus only on Liang Chenyue and not his relationship with Liang Shu, his wife.

"What are you doing my husband?!! Why did you catch Chenyue?!".

Prefect Zhong stared flatly at his wife then went back to reading the report. "I caught him because he made a fatal mistake. You just came here to ask that?".

"What do you mean Chenyue made a mistake?! How's it possible?" Liang Shu was so shocked to hear the news of his nephew's arrest from the maid.

Prefect Zhong smiled obliquely. "What do you mean how is it possible? He even had the heart to abort his uncle's own concubine".

Liang Shu's eyes widened. "My husband, what are you talking about? There's no way Chenyue could do that".

Prefect Zhong was stunned to see her husband's reaction and then laughed out loud. "You know Liang Shu, apparently you know and you pretend to be messy with Meng Xin Qiang!. Go back to your house, you don't have to take care of this business and don't take a single step out before you get my permission!!".

Liang Shu almost fell limp if her servant did not hold her back, she stared in disbelief at her husband and laughed in tears. For so long they were married she never had a place in her husband's heart.

Concubine Meng who heard that all laughed so hard that she shed tears. "Son, the punishment for them has arrived!! Did you see him in heaven?!!".

The situation at the Zhong family residence was a disaster due to Liang Chenyue's troubles. But the Lu Xiang family enjoyed their togetherness quietly and harmoniously.
