Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Concubine Wen and Yun Xi in the room looked at each other and both stood up.

The first feeling of both of them was that the Queen was here to cause trouble again.

Pushing the door open and going out, Concubine Wen frowned and said, "Mammy, why are you so nervous?"

She was very unhappy with the servants' flustered behavior.

It was rare to see Concubine Wen being serious, so the nanny couldn't help but lower her voice: "Reporting to the concubine, it was Old Man Wang's daughter, she hit her head against the wall."

"Hit the wall? Why?" Concubine Wen asked the nanny while staring at her.

Yun Xi admired her very much. Even if Concubine Wen was nervous, she didn't show any abnormality on her face.

"When checking the accounts, they found that the flowers purchased were different from the actual flowers received several times. Old man Wang picked up a chair and was about to hit his daughter, but she hit her head against the wall." The nanny replied with her head lowered.

"How is it different?" Yun Xi asked curiously.

"When we bought flowers before, we didn't know many of them, so we just believed what they said. But now, we know a lot of them, and when we check the accounts again, we find that the names of the flowers we received don't match the names on the delivery list provided by Old Man Wang. We...we overpaid a lot."

Concubine Wen's expression finally changed a little, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "How much did you find out?"

"We've only checked half a year, and there are four items that are different. The total price difference is roughly estimated to be more than one hundred taels." The nanny was also very angry.

It's a pity that the concubine is so kind to them! Ungrateful wolves! A family without conscience!

She was skeptical about Old Man Wang's claim that he knew nothing about it and that it was his wife and children who did it.

Old Wang is the head of the family. How could he not know that his wife and children were doing such a mess right under his nose? That would be too stupid, right?

If he got the upper hand from Concubine Wen, he would certainly get the upper hand from others. Just like a thief, once he got on the pirate ship, he would not get off easily.

Nanny thought: If it is true, Old Man Wang should stop doing this business as soon as possible, otherwise he will get into trouble without knowing it. Concubine Wen has a good personality, so she will not punish him harshly. But it is not certain for others.

"Is the girl okay?" Yun Xi frowned.

Did Old Man Wang do it on purpose?

Letting his daughter hit her head against the wall was intended to make Concubine Wen feel pity for him and spare him severe punishment?

Or use this incident to interfere and stop the investigation?

"Mammy, help the girl to lie down in the side room. Take my token and go get the imperial physician. Make sure Miss Wang is in good health."

"Yes," Mammy responded with a curtsey, then stood up and asked hesitantly, "What about the account?"

"Of course we have to continue investigating." Yun Xi interrupted.

If we end it here, wouldn't that be exactly what Old Wang wants?

Now that the investigation has begun, we must do it in one go and investigate all the accounts thoroughly.

and……

Yun Xi suddenly raised her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Wen: "Is there anyone else in the palace who bought flowers from Old Man Wang?"

Concubine Wen was also very annoyed about this: "Yes, I introduced several concubines who were agreeable to him."

"Should you send someone to notify those concubines, or call them over?" Yun Xi asked.

Concubine Wen thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Why not invite them over? It's hard to explain in just a few words. Mammy, go and call them all over."

"Wait." Yun Xi suddenly stopped the nanny.

If you are going to do it, you have to make sure it is foolproof.

If the old Wang family also deceived other people in the palace, then Concubine Wen had better take the initiative to expose this matter. Otherwise, it will become a handle for her to be criticized.

Looking at the nanny, her face was gloomy and her tone was cold: "Go ask that old Wang first, who has he sold the palace to. If he has the accounts, ask him to provide them now. If he doesn't have them, send someone to go home with him to get them."

There was a hint of majesty and determination in her eyes, as if she was conveying an irresistible will to Mammy.

Nanny was being looked at by Yun Xi, and inexplicably felt the pressure from the superior. Unconsciously, her knees became weak and cold sweat broke out all over her body: "Okay, Princess! I'll go right away!"

"Sister, what are you doing..." Concubine Wen looked at Yun Xi suspiciously.

“Sister Wen, do you think that as long as there is nothing wrong with the concubines’ flowers, everything will be fine?”

"Yes." Concubine Wen guessed, "It is very likely that Old Man Wang's daughter bullied me because she saw that I had no family to rely on. I don't think he would dare to do the same to other concubines."

"If that's the case, it would be the best." Yun Xi nodded. "I'm afraid they're not just deceiving you."

Concubine Wen shuddered: "You mean, they deceived other people besides those three concubines?"

"It's so easy to make a lot of money, and you've never been discovered. Even a fool would want to make more money. Who made you so rich and so stupid?" Yun Xi tapped her forehead with amusement.

Just by looking at the stupidity of Old Man Wang's two daughters, we can tell that they make money indiscriminately.

"That makes sense..." Upon hearing this, Concubine Wen became more and more anxious the more she thought about it. She paced back and forth in the room, feeling uneasy.

"Don't panic. Let's sort things out first, and then we can deal with it as the time comes." Yun Xi comforted.

"Yunxi, I..." Concubine Wen's eyes were full of panic, "I just want to live a simple life. I don't want to cause any trouble at all."

She got into trouble and no one could help her.

"I know." Yun Xi held her hand gently, "Sister Wen, sometimes, life in this world is not as simple as you want it to be. This is especially true in the palace."

"What should I do? If he has cheated many people in the palace of their money, will they report it to the emperor? Will the emperor blame me? But I... I really don't know anything! I have been cheated of so much myself!" Concubine Wen was almost in tears.

"Yun Xi, they said that the punishments in the palace are very painful. I'm afraid of pain, and I don't want them to prick me with needles or burn me with fire..." Concubine Wen held Yun Xi's hand tightly, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled and fell down.

Yun Xi felt heartbroken and reached out to hug her.

Such a kind and gentle woman was bullied again and again. Damn it!

"Don't worry, I'm here!" Patting Concubine Wen on the back, she whispered the most important promise.

If someone was targeting Concubine Wen, she would definitely pull him out from under the ground at all costs!

Mammy came back soon with very bad news.

"Concubine Wen, that old man Wang didn't have many account books on him, but we separated his daughter for interrogation. The girl was not frightened and quickly confessed that their flowers were also sold to ten other concubines, three imperial concubines, and several eunuchs in the palace. Those people were also sold by them as good quality and made dirty money."

Concubine Wen's eyes turned black and she was about to fall down.

Yun Xi quickly hugged her: "Sister Wen, calm down!"
