Chapter 69 Forced Buying and Selling
"You're not allowed to say anything? Why? Because she's your biological daughter? How can you be sure she's your biological daughter? You saw her born with your own eyes?"
A Li's barrage of questions left Xia Deqing bewildered, and he couldn't help but begin to doubt Wen Wan's true background.
Although he did sleep with Wen Chanyi and they had a child...
Just then, the Xia brothers came over carrying a sack and threw it on the ground with a thud!
"Phew! Luckily I made it in time."
Xing Beilu cleared his throat twice, signaling the two to untie the sack: "The person on the ground is Wen Wan's personal nanny, Wen Chanyi from Yanliu Alley in Qicheng."
Looking at Wen Chanyi, who was bound tightly, it was good that she was still unconscious.
"Let me tell you what happened. When the Marquis went to Qicheng on business, Wen Chanyi, in order to climb the social ladder, plotted to get the Marquis drunk and have sex with him once. But she didn't know if she could get pregnant. In order to have a son of the Marquis's family, she sought out several men during that time, indulging in pleasure every day, until her belly started to show." At this point, Ali couldn't help but blush. Those embarrassing things were something she, a virgin, was too ashamed to talk about.
Ali didn't shy away from these questions. She looked at the Marquis with a half-smile and said, "My father, are you really sure she is your child?"
"Then, she wanted to go to the Marquis's house to have him acknowledge the child, but to her surprise, the Marquis refused to acknowledge the child and only gave her a large sum of money to abort the child. She had planned for so long, how could she give up like this? So she found a way to become a concubine in the Wen family, her mother's good friend's family. Later, she even plotted to burn down the Wen family and let Wen Wan be picked up by Madam Cui. She also secretly came to the Marquis's mansion and became Wen Wan's nanny, giving her advice, plotting to frame Ali, and sowing discord between her parents, all so that she could successfully rise to power and make Wen Wan the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion."
"But some time ago, she arranged for Wen Wan to reunite with her father. Unfortunately, I happened to be passing by and overheard part of it. I became suspicious, so I sent Xia Yi to investigate. I have all the evidence now."
As she spoke, Ali presented the prepared evidence notebook to everyone. The notebook clearly recorded the time, place, and witness information.
Wen Chanyi had already woken up during the recounting, her face filled with panic: "No, impossible! My plan was so well-designed, how could it have been discovered? My plan was so well-designed!"
Ali: "Yes, you planned it very well. Everyone involved in these things was killed to cover their tracks afterward. But do you really think no one will know about this 'using and discarding'? Some smart people foresaw it long ago and quietly moved their families. It took me a lot of effort to find these witnesses." Yu Yang found the same people she found, yes, that's right!
"Besides, in order to make your child look like the Marquis, you slept with the Marquis's unfavored collateral relatives. You can't kill them all to silence them. Do you want me to call them all here for a confrontation?"
Everyone was stunned.
The Xia family members were truly surprised that Wen Chanyi was so ruthless. Someone who could set up a scheme for more than ten years was simply terrifying.
Wen Chanyi fell completely silent. This Xia Li actually knew who she had slept with. She thought, "Am I going to be completely ruined here today?"
You're so dense! Think of something quick!
Wen Wan was also shocked and speechless. She had never known that her background was so dirty.
Wen Chanyi: "This is slander. You're the one who brought up the evidence, which might be fabricated!"
Ali didn't expect that she still wouldn't give up after seeing the Yellow River: "What way do I have to forge evidence of your affair with other men and get them to sign it for you?"
She smiled slightly and said slowly, "Just because the eldest young lady can't do something doesn't mean the second young lady of the Xing family can't... Ah!"
Before she could finish speaking, a guard flew up to her and grabbed her by the throat.
Xing Beiluo slowly swayed to her side, chuckling, "Oh? You mean I'm protecting Ali and trying to frame you? If I wanted you dead, you'd be a corpse already. Why bother with all this trouble!"
At the critical moment of life and death, Wen Chanyi truly panicked: "My lord, my lord, save me."
Xia Deqing: Don't ask, I'm scared too!
Ali quickly stepped in to stop Xing Beiluo: "Stop it! My goodness, you're really making it a case of forced confession!"
Xing Beiluo glanced at her impatiently: "Troublesome!"
However, he still ordered his men to release Wen Chanyi.
Ali: "This matter is simple. The clues are all there, and everyone can investigate. Besides, the evidence of time is not something I can easily slander. When the Wen family's house burned down, I was just a little kid who couldn't even hold a torch properly. How could I possibly slander her!"
After stating the facts, Ali left the front hall. She didn't need to worry about this place; however, her expanding business empire required her attention.
"Hey! You left without telling me?"
"Haha, I knew you'd come. We're planning to go check out Jin Yu Man Tang, do you want to come along?"
“Of course I’ll go! I own 30% of the shares!” Xing Beiluo said without any politeness. Then, she changed the subject, “To be honest, I thought it was just the two of us running the shop, and I felt like you were losing out by taking 70% and me 30%. But then I found out that you only own 30%, Yu Yang and your two working brothers and Qing Hao each own 5%, and the managers you hired also get 20%. I really admire you; you've got people on your side. I sometimes feel a little guilty for taking the biggest share…”
Ali asked with a smile, "Then will you give me 5% of your shares?"
"No!" What a joke! She has many expenses. Although Jin Yu Man Tang's business is doing well, the amount of spirit stones she needs is not small.
"It's alright, this is just the profit from Jin Yu Man Tang. Once our business empire is established, we will distribute even more."
"!"
"It's only sustainable if everyone makes money together!"
Upon arriving at Jinyu Mantang, I saw a disturbance. Upon inquiring, I learned that an old woman wanted to buy an inkstone for her grandson, but she didn't have enough money.
She could have just bought another one.
But the old woman instead pulled the onlookers and cried her heart out, trying to force them to buy her things.
People around them were also criticizing Jin Yumantang for disrespecting the elderly.
Moral kidnapping?
Don't you even know who I am?
"Ahem!" Ali cleared his throat and pointed at the young woman who was shouting the loudest, saying, "Since everyone feels sorry for this old lady, why don't you pay for her money?"
"Why should I?" The woman's shrill voice immediately silenced the surroundings.
Ah Li smiled, knowing this would be the outcome. She turned to the others and said with a smile, "Then why don't you all help out with the hundred taels of silver?"
