Chapter 293: Blatant accusation
As the discussions around them grew louder, Lan Tingting's grip on Song Changwei's clothes became tighter and tighter, as if she wanted to keep him here for fear that he would escape.
Some people with ulterior motives began to speculate that this seemingly weak girl must have been bullied by Lord Song.
Everyone in the capital knows Song Changwei's background. He was born in a poor family and married to the Zhong family as a son-in-law. Although Zhong Xuemei, the man he married, had a decent family background, she was not very good-looking. In addition, she could not have children, so he must have other intentions.
This must be due to a romantic debt and being entangled by someone...
Lan Tingting did not make any explanation. She just sat there quietly, with her head down and a smug glimmer in her eyes. She wanted to see how Song Changwei would break the impasse.
Song Changwei was calm and composed. He squatted down to take off his clothes, then stood up and stood a few steps away from Lan Tingting.
He glanced around and spoke lightly.
"May I ask this girl's name and family?"
Lan Tingting was stumped by the question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
The Lan family has been destroyed, and the Lan family was very famous in the capital at that time, so she naturally did not dare to reveal her true identity.
But if she said at this time that she was a concubine in Song Chengfeng's mansion, it would be a joke.
So she stammered and answered casually: "I live in the south of the city, and my parents are both dead."
"Oh? Since both parents are dead, there should be a surname, right? Although I am not a talented official and my official position is not high, I still know the population of each street in this capital city very well."
"me…"
"Miss, tell me which family you belong to. I will give you an explanation when I go back and investigate."
"What do you mean by that, sir? Do you not want to take care of me anymore?"
Lan Tingting started to use the beauty trick again. She deliberately raised her sleeves to wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, staring at Song Changwei with resentment.
Before Song Changwei could say anything else, a middle-aged man suddenly squeezed through the crowd and stood in front of Lan Tingting with indignation.
Song Chengwei took a closer look and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. It turned out to be Prime Minister Song. It must be difficult for him to get away today.
Song Chengfeng pointed at Song Changwei with a look of disappointment on his face. His voice trembled, as if Song Changwei had really done something that no one could see.
"You actually bullied a weak woman in public! It's a waste of all the effort I put into you. Song Changwei, who can you be worthy of?"
When the people saw that even the Prime Minister came out to beat Song Changwei, they thought that there was probably something unusual between this girl and Song Changwei.
"This is really disappointing. Even after being found out by someone, you still refuse to admit it. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
"I'm afraid he's afraid that Zhong Xuemei will complain to his father, which will affect his career. How ungrateful!"
"That's right! As the saying goes, most loyal people are butchers, and most unfaithful people are scholars. I heard that Mr. Song is very talented and handsome. I guess he is unwilling to stay with a wife with mediocre talent, right?"
Song Changwei listened to these voices without changing his expression. He did not even glance at Lan Tingting, but instead focused his gaze on Song Chengfeng's face in front of him.
Not surprisingly, he caught a glimpse of triumph in the eyes of Prime Minister Song.
Song Changwei understood what was going on after a little thought. It was so vicious that they actually used this method to bully him.
It is really shameful that a real man does not work hard in the government, but instead uses his woman to frame others.
Seeing that Song Changwei remained silent, Song Chengfeng thought that he was frightened, so he continued to exaggerate.
"I am your elder after all. If you want to take a concubine or a concubine, just tell me. Why do you have to do this secretly? What if Miss Zhong finds out?"
These remarks seemed to be truly made for Song Changwei's sake. If one didn't know, one would think that Song Chengfeng was some respected elder!
However, Song Changwei just snorted disdainfully, shook his head and spoke.
"Prime Minister Song's beauty trap is really clever. If Chang Wei wasn't paying attention, he would have been trapped by you."
"What do you mean by that? Did I ask you to disappoint this woman?"
"It's hard to say who has wronged this girl. I just want to ask a question: where did this woman come from? If Prime Minister Song didn't know her, why was he so sure that Chang Wei must have bullied her, rather than her deliberately framing her?"
"What nonsense! How can a woman in this world use her innocence to frame others?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around them also echoed them.
Indeed, in this age where women's chastity is above everything else, I have never heard of any woman deliberately throwing such dirty water on herself. Isn't that crazy?
But Song Changwei was not panicked at all. He turned his attention to Lan Tingting who was sitting on the ground.
"Does this girl know Prime Minister Song?"
"What Prime Minister? I don't know him! I only know you!"
Lan Tingting looked obviously panicked. She glanced at Prime Minister Song guiltily, then quickly lowered her head.
When people lie, they will subconsciously look left and right and dare not look at others. Lan Tingting has been with Song Chengfeng for several years and they have slept in the same bed countless times. How could she not recognize him?
Song Changwei looked at Lan Tingting's expression carefully and had an idea in his mind. He had already guessed the identity of this woman.
"Since the girl said she knew me, then why don't you tell me how we met and how I bullied you?"
"That day, you came back from court and I ran into you on the road. You saw that I was alone and looked pretty, so you approached me and took the initiative to talk to me. That's how you bullied me. Then when I approached you again, you denied it."
Although Lan Tingting's answer was a little hesitant, she mentioned the time and place, so the people around her naturally chose to believe it.
All of a sudden, everyone began to accuse Song Changwei indignantly.
"Mr. Song has just been promoted and yet he has done something so ungrateful. It's really shameful!"
"That's right. You only have one wife and no concubines. If you really can't do it, just marry her. Why don't you acknowledge her?"
Song Changwei raised his hand to signal everyone to stay calm, and he continued.
"Is this place in the basement of my house? If the girl says it's not, then you remembered it wrong."
"Yes, yes, yes! It's the basement of your house. When you took me there, you told me not to let my wife find out!"
"Do you remember what color the walls of the basement were?"
"This... is... is blue! Yes, blue, and there are a lot of miscellaneous items in it!"
Lan Tingting's eyes lit up and she began to speak along with Song Changwei's words.
It was too late for Song Chengfeng to stop it. He intuitively felt that Lan Tingting had fallen into Song Changwei's trap.
Sure enough, Song Changwei snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.
"There is no underground room in my Song family! What is your intention in accusing me like this?"
