Avenge For Love novel Chapter 64

"Your Majesty! I am being framed. I don't know how those drugs got there but I swear by the Heavens, I have nothing to do with it! Someone must be framing me! Please investigate!"

His words were laced with anxiousness and worry as he swiftly bowed on the ground.

From his seat, Wu Dingxiang had no clue how it ended up in Xiao Zhi's estate but at least it wasn't him. Otherwise, he would have to explain himself and everything he worked for would have been ruined.

"Frame you?" Emperor Long scoffed at the man.

"If it weren't for the fact that General Tang reported in time about the drugs, no one would have learned of this. If the Wu Eldest Miss hadn't opened my eyes, no one would have suspected it to be someone from Buxiu. That way, no one would have suspected you!"

Minister Xiao trembled at those words, fear crawling through his skin. Even if he was telling the truth, no one was going fo believe him because of the evidence.

Only General Wu has control of the drugs. It had to be him!

Minister Xiao Zhi turned to Wu Dingxiang with a menacing face. Glaring straight at the man, Minister Xiao pointed,

"Your Majesty, it was General Wu! He was the one who framed me!"

Wu Dingxiang furrowed his brows from the accusations.

"How presumptuous!" The Crown Prince yelled. The evidence was already clear, and yet he dares to out the blame on someone else?

"I'm not lying! He has been running an illegal drug business for years!"

Minister Xiao ratted as he would not be satisfied falling alone. If he was going to be ruined, then Wu Dingxiang who he believed framed him would have to be ruined as well!

General Tang kept quiet as he watched everything unfold. He didn't expect Minister Xiao to actually reveal Wu Dingxiang so easily like that. So called "allies" they were to each other.

The emperor also didn't expect Minister Xiao to state such a thing so he looked at Wu Dingxiang. He didn't dare order an arrest for the man was after all the head of the Wu clan.

From the five main clans, the Wu were the only one involved in politics and military affairs. The other four stayed out of it as they had no interest it. Despite not being involved, everyone knows they held immense power in the empire.

"Your Majesty. Minister Xiao must be spouting nonsense." Another official, the Minister of Rites, Wen Wuhan expressed as he knew Minister Xiao could not be saved any longer. He was also one of Wu Dingxiang's ally so he defended the man.

"Minister Xiao, you and General Wu have always been on good terms, what reason is there for him to frame you?" Wu Dingxiang's remaining ally, the Minister of Revenue, Geng Jihao also spoke up. They had to persuade the emperor to execute the man before he revealed too much.

Wu Xingxie's face revealed no emotions as she read the scroll Madam Gu sent her.

Since Wu Xingxie was a girl, Madam Gu suggested that she married someone who would be of great assistance to her and help her forward their future plans.

Madam Gu didn't disclose who she picked but Wu Xingxie had a guess on who it was.

Since she had never shown her face to Madam Gu, the woman had no clue what she looked like or her real identity.

General Tang on the other hand saw her face and knew she was part of the Wu clan. Now that he knew Wu Dingxiang killed his benefactor, would he suspect her of being an accomplice?

It's time I tell her the truth.

Wu Xingxie concluded as she rolled the scroll back up. Aware of today's events, Wu Xingxie's mood was better than usual. Even with Wu Dingxiang forbidding people to leave, did he think she would actually obey?

Wu Xingxie sneaked out like usual without any detection as she teleported to the Gu estate.

By now, the guards were aware of her relationship to the Madam, although it was a coverup.
