After the divorce, I wanted to give up, but the Prime Minister took me into his arms in the street

Chapter 166 Shooting yourself in the foot

Ling Zhiyun and Xia Yunfeng looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and confusion.

"Oh, what happened? Why is there so much noise? What are you all doing here?"

Ling Mohui asked the question even though she knew the answer, and glanced at everyone with a sly look.

"Ma'am! Why...why are you outside? What's going on?"

Xia Yunfeng was confused, his face full of doubt and puzzlement.

Ling Mo retorted, her tone relaxed and somewhat teasing: "If I'm not here, where else should I be?"

Xia Yunfeng pointed anxiously into the room and said, "Who is in that room? Explain yourself!"

Ling Mo raised her eyebrows and pretended to be confused: "Oh? There is someone else in my room? This is really interesting."

As soon as the voice fell, Ling Mo turned around and strode towards her room without waiting for an answer. Ling Zhiyun followed closely behind her, and Xia Yunfeng also followed quickly. The three of them were all in turmoil, eager to uncover this sudden mystery.

The scene inside the house slowly unfolded, like a shocking painting, causing the expressions of all those who stepped through the threshold to freeze in astonishment.

"Ran Ran?"

There was a tremor of disbelief in Ling Zhiyun's voice. She gently covered her slightly open cherry lips with her delicate hands, her gaze fixed on Xia Ranran and the groom who were lying side by side, covered with the same quilt. Her eyes were flashing with complex and indistinguishable emotions.

Xia Ranran's face was as pale as paper, her eyes were as panicked as a deer, her hands were gesticulating randomly, and she argued incoherently: "No... It's not what you see, it's really not! We, we are innocent..."

Her words were accompanied by a slight tremor, and she seemed particularly helpless.

"We were attacked and we don't remember anything before we passed out! Nothing really happened between us!"

Xia Ranran explained eagerly, but before she finished her words, a surge of resentment rose in her heart, and she fiercely kicked the groom lying beside her, as if to vent her resentment and grievance.

The groom was caught off guard and was kicked off the bed, falling heavily to the ground. However, he did not dare to complain. He just lay on the ground, motionless, as if even his breathing had become cautious.

"Dad! You must believe in your daughter!"

Xia Ranran called out in a tearful voice, revealing a desperate plea for help.

At this time, Fu Yansheng was the first to recover from his shock. He frowned slightly, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He reached out and pulled Ling Mohui, who was still immersed in shock, and said in a deep voice: "It is not advisable to stay here for long. Miss Xia, please tidy up your appearance first, and we will talk in detail outside."

There was unquestionable majesty in his tone, as well as the proper handling of the situation on the scene.

"Yun'er!"

Xia Ranran's call was filled with resentment, tears welled up in her eyes, her body went limp, and she slumped down on the edge of the couch, tears streaming down her face.

Ling Zhiyun couldn't bear it, so she quickly stepped forward, gently embraced Xia Ranran in her arms, and comforted her gently: "It's okay, Ranran, I believe you, everything will be fine."

Her voice was soft but firm, trying to melt the ice in Xia Ranran's heart with warmth.

In the corridor, Ling Mohui sat quietly on the carved wooden chair, with a complex emotion in her eyes.

She secretly thanked herself for having a bottom line in her actions and not pushing the situation to an irreversible point. After all, in this era, a woman's reputation is more precious than her life.

She only used this incident to teach Xia Ranran a profound lesson and retain the dignity and respect she deserved.

Soon, Xia Ranran ran out of the room in agitation, accusing Ling Mohui like an arrow: "Ling Mohui! All of this is a conspiracy you carefully planned. You deliberately framed me, right!"

She clutched Ling Mohui's sleeve tightly, almost losing control, but Wei Ruoming quickly pulled her hands away and gave her a light push, and Xia Ranran staggered and fell to the ground.

Wei Ruoming's voice was calm and firm: "Before finding out the truth, it is irrational to accuse anyone at will."

Wei Ruoming's defense of Ling Mohui undoubtedly added to Xia Ranran's anger: "Even the prince favors her? She almost ruined my reputation, how could you do this!"

Ling Mo responded coldly, her words showing her sharp edge: "You said I ruined your reputation? I think it's you who trespassed into my territory and made a scene on my bed, which is the biggest insult to me!"

"Dad! It was Ling Mohui. She drugged me and the groom and wanted to put the blame on me!"

Xia Ranran almost roared, and her accusing voice echoed in the air.

Faced with this sticky situation, Xia Yunfeng was in a dilemma. On the one hand, there was the powerful person who was crucial to the family, and on the other hand, there was his beloved daughter. Caught between the two, his brows were filled with worry.

Fu Yansheng's eyes were sharp, and he glanced at Xia Ranran coldly, and every word was sonorous: "Miss Xia, if there is no solid evidence, it is a serious crime to slander the wife of the Prime Minister. Please be careful with your words."

"I...I saw it with my own eyes. Isn't that enough?"

Xia Ranran's eyes were as sharp as torches, and she glared at Ling Mohui fiercely, as if she wanted to burn holes in her body.

Ling Mohui asked calmly, "Ms. Xia, since you insist that it was me who did it, I will take you who are unconscious back to the room. There must be witnesses along the way. Why has no one mentioned this matter so far?"

Xia Ranran was speechless for a moment, and reluctantly retorted: "You chose to act outside the door, and your method is covert, so of course no one will notice it."

Ling Mohui raised a mocking smile and said, "Then how did Miss Xia happen to appear outside my door? Was it also a coincidence?"

Xia Ranran was speechless for a moment. Her lips moved, but she couldn't utter a single word. Seeing this, Ling Mohui said with a hint of joking: "Oh, you can't say it, right? If you have something to hide, it's naturally hard to justify yourself."

"Yes, tell me, why did you come to Mo Hui's house in the middle of the night and bring a driver with you? What does this mean?"

Wei Ruoming's voice was low and powerful, and every word revealed a stern question that could not be ignored, as if the temperature in the air had dropped a few degrees.

Xia Ranran's face turned a little pale, and her lips trembled slightly, as if she was looking for the right words: "I... I just happened to know that she was not feeling well, and I was worried, so I wanted to come and visit her in person."

Ling Mohui heard this and raised a cold sneer at the corner of her mouth, her eyes full of disdain and ridicule: "It's really hard for you. You actually let your personal maid go out and spread those unclear rumors about me and other men. How can this be called concern?"

Wei Ruoming's eyes suddenly became sharp, like a cold light in winter: "Bring it up!"

As the order was given, the maid fell to her knees with a plop, trembling all over, with her head pressed tightly against the ground, not even having the courage to raise her head.

Fu Yansheng slowly walked to the maid's side, his tone as cold as ice, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Tell me, who instructed you to slander Ling Mohui?"

Faced with such questioning, the maid's body trembled even more violently, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "I... I really recognized the wrong person, I didn't mean to..."
