OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess-Chapter 801: He Is Innocent—This Matter, I Am Aware Of

Originally, Chu Ping and the other Xiu Luo Envoys standing not far away were merely watching the scene with folded arms.

After all, as long as Feng Fuce didn’t signal them, they would never meddle in business concerning the Marquis.

But now the eldest son of Duke Ping dared to curse the Marquis right to his face.

They would never tolerate this!

Chu Ping immediately took the lead to rebuke, "Presumptuous! How dare you speak to the Marquis like this?"

An Shiyu was tall in stature, yet had the features of a scholarly face.

At this moment, he also became angry: "I speak this way, not only will I reprimand him, but I will also say that Marquis Wan, it must be you who killed my brother!"

"I’m telling you, the Heavenly Dao is cyclic; your hands bear countless wronged souls. Just wait for heaven to come after you!"

Chu Ping, enraged, turned red with fury and drew his sword directly: "Say that one more time!"

Feng Fuce suddenly raised his hand to stop Chu Ping.

The youth pressed his thin lips together, revealing a sarcastic smile.

He looked down at Duke Ping: "What reason do you think I have to kill your son?"

"If I truly wanted his life, on the martial arts field where blades know no eyes, with his meager skills, I could have easily killed him right there."

"Given that, why bother resorting to such petty tricks with the weapon rack, it’s truly the act of someone beyond foolishness."

Duke Ping’s eldest son gritted his teeth and said, "You’re just sophistry!"

Chu Ping angrily yelled, "No explanation and you call it guilty, explain it and you call it sophistry. You just want to berate our Marquis! You call yourself a man, your heart is even narrower than a needle’s eye!"

An Shiyu exclaimed in agitation, "When is it your turn to butt in!"

Feng Fuce and Duke Ping hadn’t lost their temper, yet the two were about to start fighting.

Just then, from above the White Jade staircase came a stern rebuke—

"Enough! To endlessly bicker at the door of the Imperial Study Room, what a disgrace!"

Feng Fuce remained expressionless, while the rest quickly stood respectfully.

Bai Xilie, followed by the Palace Attendants, walked down the steps.

He glanced at Duke Ping, shook his head with a sigh, and frown coldly, "Duke Ping, what you did was really inappropriate."

Duke Ping choked up, "Your official merely wants to know whether this matter has any connection to Marquis Wan! That day, someone saw Marquis Wan going to the backyard of the martial arts field first."

"Since he went there, why does he dare not say what he went there to do?"

Bai Xilie sighed repeatedly upon hearing this.

He spoke with earnest intent, "Marquis Wan remains silent for the sake of protecting your family’s dignity, hence I requested him to maintain secrecy."

Duke Ping and his son were taken aback, "What?"

Bai Xilie raised his hand, "Rise first, and then I shall tell you."

Duke Ping quickly stood up.

Bai Xilie, with hands behind his back, said sternly, "I have deep ties with you and have never spoken harshly before."

"Yet there’s one thing today I must say without restraint: Duke Ping, you are kind to others, yet truly lack proper discipline towards your son."

"Back then, your young son invited Marquis Wan to a duel, yet he spiked the tea of Marquis Wan with Soft Bone Powder. If he had decided for a match, why resort to such disgraceful means?"

Duke Ping had also heard of this matter, but at the time Marquis Wan wasn’t affected by the drug, and the Emperor didn’t pursue the matter.

He bowed his head in shame, "My mismanagement, but what does this have to do with Marquis Wan going to the backyard?"

Bai Xilie coldly snorted, "Having drank problematic tea, he naturally felt unwell and went to the backyard to rest."

For a moment, Duke Ping was rendered speechless, his face turning pale.

Bai Xilie gazed at him in his state, sighing gently, "I’ve already asked Marquis Wan about your doubts long ago."
