Wen Liang didn't expect that his mother and grandmother would also appear here, so he looked hesitant on his face.
He hesitated again when his grandmother asked him to explain the whole story clearly.
Just now, Wen Qiong and Qiao Shengke had no intention of asking him to tell the truth, and he knew the reason in his heart.
After all, it involves the reputation of Qiao Yuyan's daughter's family. How can you chew it in your mouth like this?
Especially since Qiao Weisheng was still here, how could he hear the accusations against his daughter's innocence, so Wen Liang also expected that his father would not ask him to tell the details.
And these details involved Qiao Yuning, and he couldn't tell at all.
But Mrs. Wen's attitude was very resolute, she didn't even look at anyone else, she only focused on Wen Liang.
"explain!"
"This..." Wen Liang immediately hesitated and looked at Mrs. Wen. When his mother turned her face away, he had no choice but to face it, "Grandma, unless my grandson doesn't want to talk about it, this has something to do with Mrs. Qiao."
The girl’s reputation…”
"My daughter's reputation has been ruined by Mr. Wen. Is there anything else that can be ruined? Speaking of which, as a father, I also want to hear what Mr. Wen heard."
This was what he had to say. Wen Liang raised his head and looked around at the others. His thoughts were spinning rapidly, and he finally thought of what to say.
"One person told me that he seemed to have seen the five people kidnapping Miss Qiao, and he also said that the Tianwang Gang was doing similar things.
The eldest girl of the Qiao family is a girl from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, and the Tian Wang Gang is not unaware of it. Moreover, Miss Qiao is so pretty, so it is obvious why they kidnapped her."
As Wen Liang spoke, he quietly looked at the faces of these elders and found that everyone was looking at him with the same eyes, so he had no choice but to continue talking.
"Originally, I didn't care about this matter. But when I got home, I heard that Uncle Six and Miss Qiao were engaged. I wondered why I was so anxious about this matter. Later, I heard outside that it was to cover up Qiao.
The eldest girl spent the night outside the city.
I thought of the Tianwang Gang, so I immediately asked someone to investigate, only to find out that those five people were all imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion, and there was no news at all.
I felt anxious now. My sixth uncle has just passed the exam and has been praised by even the Holy Emperor. If that matter spreads, I'm afraid our family's reputation will be completely ruined."
"Based on your own inference, you determined that Miss Qiao's innocence must have been lost, so you took action?"
Wen Qiong and Yuan wanted to scold their son, but the old lady of the Wen family beat them to it.
Wen Liang's face turned red, "My grandson also knows that everything must be provided with evidence. If you are not completely sure, if you do it rashly, you may end up getting burned, so your grandson also went to investigate."
In the wasteland between the two villages in the west of the city, I found some clues, including fragments of Miss Qiao's clothes, traces on the ground, and scattered ropes. I later traced it to a forest not far from the house.
I also found something inside.
All these things can prove that Miss Qiao really encountered those five idle men from the Tianwang Gang..."
As he spoke later, his voice gradually became quieter, and he carefully looked at Qiao Weisheng's face. After all, he was talking about her girl.
Wen Qiongyu didn't expect that his son would actually conduct an investigation, and he would do so in such detail.
This makes people don't know how to refute it for a while.
The room suddenly fell into an eerie calm, and even Mrs. Wen didn't know what to say next.
I just felt so angry that I didn't expect that my good plan would be ruined by my own grandson.
The marriage with the Qiao family could continue, but there was something wrong with it. She didn't even dare to look at Qiao Weisheng's face.
"My fourth nephew's words can be said to be perfect, but a little...too perfect." A gentle but somewhat cold voice sounded, startling everyone.
I saw the wall on Mrs. Wen's right hand side suddenly rotate, and two people walked out of it.
Wen Tingyuan stood there with a pine-like posture, and standing behind him was Qiao Yuyan.
No one knew they were actually behind this wall, let alone when they were there or how much they heard.
What made everyone even more stunned was the look on Qiao Yuyan's face. There was no shame, no anger, or even a little bit of embarrassment. Instead, she looked relaxed with a slight smile.
It seemed that this matter had nothing to do with her, she was just a spectator.
It was Old Mrs. Wen who came to her senses first. She frowned and said, "Lao Liu, why are you here? What do you mean by what you just said?"
"Now that we are talking about this, I think all of you are actually murmuring in your hearts." Wen Tingyuan sat down on Wen Qiongyu's desk unceremoniously, and then waved Qiao Yuyan to his side, "In this case,
Why don't we make things clear?"
Qiao Weisheng actually didn't know much about what happened that night. He only heard his daughter say that she had been kidnapped, and then he escaped and met Wen Tingyuan.
He trusts his daughter's character and has no doubts about what she says. Looking at the current situation, that doesn't seem to be the case?
"Actually, Miss Qiao was indeed taken away by those five people that night, but she escaped on her own, just in the dark. She didn't escape far before she was discovered in the woods that the fourth nephew mentioned."
There was a very cold smile on Wen Tingyuan's lips, and he pointed at Wen Liang.
"It was at that time that General Wei and I met Miss Qiao. General Wei was very skilled and was more than capable of dealing with Fifth Brother's thugs. We tied him up, hid him, and took him to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen the next day."
His eyes even fell on Wen Liang casually. When he said this, he naturally noticed the change in the expression on Wen Liang's face.
"General Wei and I both know that such a thing is fatal to Miss Qiao, but General Wei is still engaged.
And I have always heard of Miss Qiao’s maiden name, and I believe in her character. In our haste, we had no better choice but to announce the marriage first.”
The look on Wen Liang's face was changing. Just looking at everyone's attitude, it was obvious that he believed Wen Tingyuan's words, "So that's the case. I've just guessed it. What I said just now is not inconsistent with what Uncle Liu said. I don't think so."
Knowing what happened the night before, how can we determine the truth? What's more, I never would have thought that Uncle Liu would go to the countryside on the day when the results were released."
Wen Tingyuan smiled and shook his head, "What you said is an excuse."
