Shen Wan slept late last night and woke up late in the morning. When she woke up, she was still bleary-eyed, so Yin Shuang told Shen Wan that the Criminal Department had arrested Mrs. Wang.
The speed of the Criminal Department's work really shocked Shen Wan. It should be the old lady who was interrogating overnight. Without conclusive evidence, the Criminal Department could not come directly to arrest people, especially Mrs. Wang who still had a warrant.
Shen Wan was in a happy mood, lifted the quilt and got out of bed. After washing, she sat in front of the dressing table and let Yin Shuang dress her up.
Yinshuang said while combing Shen Wan's hair, "When the old lady was in the boudoir, wasn't she promised the son of a second-rank official? Why is she the son of a fourth-rank official?"
Shen Wan also felt strange about this matter. Everyone in the Hou family knew that the old lady wanted to repay the old lady for saving her life, so she gave up a good marriage and married the old prince as a continuation. The old lady gave up a second-rank official. The son's marriage is not a fourth-grade official, but this is what the old lady said herself, and there is no truth to it.
Outside, Dong'er brought tea into the house. Hearing Yin Shuang's words, he said, "The old lady was indeed engaged to the son of a fourth-rank official, and his surname seems to be Zheng."
"The old Marquis is a kind man. He was moved by the deep love between the old lady and the late Madam as sisters. He also felt that the old lady was ashamed of her fiancé's family by canceling her marriage in order to take care of the Marquis. The fiancé's family is willing to cancel the engagement and he has a good character. The old Marquis promoted Mr. Zheng, who was only a fourth-rank official at the time, as compensation. Thanks to the old Marquis' promotion, Mr. Zheng rose through the ranks and reached the position of a second-rank official in less than three years. "
"The old lady canceled her fiancé's marriage. Half a year later, her fiancé made another marriage. She and his wife Qin Se were harmonious, and they gave birth to two sons and two daughters. She never took a concubine in her life, and she seems to be still alive..."
Yinshuang's eyes widened when she heard this, and she asked Dong'er, "How did you know about this?"
Dong'er said, "It's spread all over the house."
Shen Wan was disgusted again.
I've never seen someone so good at picking things that are beneficial to him.
Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng are in harmony. The old lady thinks that she could have lived such a harmonious life if she had not broken off the engagement, right?
And when she married her grandfather, her title was lost and was inherited by her father. Her grandfather also had concubines, and he didn't live as long as Mrs. Zheng.
If my grandfather knew anything about it, he would have to be angry.
Shen Wan was so nauseous that she lost her appetite for breakfast and couldn't eat more than a bowl of millet porridge.
After breakfast, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan returned to Prince Ling's Mansion.
But on the way back to Prince Ling's Mansion, Shen Wan's mood recovered.
Well, not only did I recover, but I felt extremely happy.
Shen Wan was leaning on the carriage, thinking about how to inflict hardship on the old lady and Mrs. Wang who were imprisoned in the Criminal Department. The secret guard rode over and reported to Xie Jingyan, "Sir, Liangjiang Yanzheng was killed on the way to Beijing."
Shen Wan was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt it was normal.
Liangjiang Salt Administration paid 40,000 taels of filial piety to Prime Minister Zuo every year. Mrs. Wang couldn't even enter the gate of Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, so she knew that Liangjiang Salt Administration had no chance of entering Beijing alive.
Once escorted to Beijing, unable to withstand the torture, and confessing who he has bribed in the past few years, the emperor will definitely pursue him. It will be a trivial matter to spit out the bribes he received, but he is afraid that it will affect his official career. The evidence of Liangjiang Salt Policy is conclusive, and it is already a star. The waste chess will not only be useless if left alone, it will even become a knife hanging over their heads, and they must be killed to avoid future troubles.
It is much easier to do it on the way to Beijing than to do it after entering the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
When Mrs. Wang was old, she went to Beijing to fish for her son. However, her son did not catch her, but instead dragged the old lady into the water, and she herself was imprisoned.
I wonder what Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang’s expressions would be like when they received this news?
Shen Wan is a kind person, and Mrs. Wang is indispensable for being able to expose the old lady's crimes. She must thank her.
Shen Wan opened the curtain and ordered the secret guard, "Send this news to the Penal Department Prison and tell Mrs. Wang to know."
The secret guard took the order and went down to do it.
I didn’t even ask a certain man. Just kidding, a certain man doted on the princess to such an extent that everyone knew it was outrageous. The princess ordered them secret guards to do some small things. How dare the secret guards not listen? They beat the prince, and they probably hesitated before doing so.
Shen Wan was so nauseous in the morning that she only ate a bowl of porridge. Now that she was in a good mood, she felt hungry. She looked at Xie Jingyan with such a pitiful expression that it made Xie Jingyan's heart itch, "What's wrong?"
"hungry."
"..."
Xie Jingyan felt weak all over. When he saw Shen Wan looking at him with her clear eyes open, Xie Jingyan suddenly became teasing and teased in her ear, "Do you want to eat... for your husband?"
This bastard!
She was so hungry that her chest was touching her back, and he was teasing her.
She was going to let him know that he was riding the horse's hooves today!
Shen Wan grabbed a certain man's hand and bit it.
A certain man, "..."
Gasp.
This woman really bites.
Shen Wan bit down hard. Xie Jingyan looked at the tooth marks on his hand and said with twitching lips, "It's so cruel."
Shen Wan raised her neck and said, "I've already shown mercy."
Xie Jingyan pinched Shen Wan's nose and said, "Thank you for your mercy, Princess. What do you want to eat?"
Shen Wan hesitated.
Xie Jingyan said, "Okay, I understand."
He opened the curtain and told Chen Feng, "Go buy it."
"Yes."
Shen Wan, "...???"
She looked at Xie Jingyan, "I haven't even said what I want to eat yet."
Xie Jingyan laughed, "Aren't you the only one who wants to eat but is too embarrassed to ask?"
Shen Wan didn't expect that Xie Jingyan would remember her preferences so clearly. Deep down in her heart, she felt like there was a clear spring flowing through her. It was sweet, sweeter than honey.
When Shen Wan returned to Mo Yuxuan, she smelled the aroma of noodles as soon as she entered the room. The fat sausage noodles she wanted to eat were placed on the table, steaming hot.
Smelling the smell, Shen Wan could only feel the greed in her stomach tumbling.
Here Shen Wan is eating noodles happily, and over there in Fengyi Palace, Queen Song is copying the palace rules. She was already upset and angry when she heard the news that the old lady was imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishment, and her face sank even more , threw the brush in his hand on the table, "Stupid as a pig."
I don’t even understand the principle of cutting the weeds and removing the roots.
Killing the old lady and trying to seize Madam Hou's position, but leaving Shen Jing alive and going to jail even when she is old, is really stupid.
No wonder she raised a fool like Shen Ying. In order to show off her quick words, Princess Ling pretended to be pregnant and used the emperor's hands to usurp her position as the concubine. In the end, she also suffered disaster.
The father is stupid, the mother is stupid, and with a stupid mother like Shen Ying, Empress Song doesn't expect her children to be very smart.
Besides, Shen Wan was very satisfied after finishing a bowl of fat intestine noodles.
After putting down the chopsticks, there was a knock on the window. Yin Shuang went over to open the window, and Shen Wan also walked over.
The secret guard who went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to deliver a message came back and reported to Shen Wan, "I have informed Mrs. Wang of the murder of Liangjiang Yanzheng according to the princess's instructions."
After a pause, the secret guard said, "The Criminal Department locked Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang in a cell. When the subordinate asked the jailer to pass the message, the two old ladies were fighting..."
Shen Wan, "..."
I really can't imagine what it would be like for the old lady and Mrs. Wang to fight.
But it doesn't affect her happiness.
Dog bites dog, a mouth full of hair.
There was no need for her to send another message to the Ministry of Justice, it was enough to lock the two of them together.
