Wen Chaoyan: "Because King Yu's mother was not born in a glorious way."

Jiang Wancheng knew that this was another secret.

So, he immediately sat up straight and listened to every word Wen Chaoyan had to say.

It turned out that the old lady Deng from the Wang family who had just passed away was a notoriously tough and powerful woman when she was young.

So, even though I’m over 20, I’m still not married.

However, her family was wealthy, so after finally negotiating a marriage with the Wang family, she married the son of the Wang family, who was only slightly wealthy at the time, with a generous dowry.

With Deng's dowry, the Wang family's business naturally grew bigger and bigger, and soon they became a wealthy family.

The Wang family’s wealth once occupied a place in the entire Fujun County.

When he was young, Master Wang still took his wife's personality and family into consideration. But when his own family property became several times richer than his wife's family's, he became unscrupulous.

He began to take concubines and numerous maids.

Even the maidservants around Deng were slept with by him.

At that time, there was a fierce fight within the Wang family.

With so many concubines, except for two or three illegitimate sons and daughters, there were no more offspring left.

Mr. Wang was naturally very angry.

He originally wanted to divorce Deng for being jealous, but Deng was not just famous for her fierceness.

In the middle of the night, she held a knife and said to Mr. Wang, "The Wang family's property and future can only belong to my child! If you dare to divorce me, I will take you down with me! I, Wang Deng, always keep my word!"

This move really frightened Mr. Wang so much that he almost died on the spot.

Afterwards, I heard that he was sick for another three to five months.

From then on, he naturally never dared to provoke his wife again.

However, he did not dare to sleep in the same bed with his wife, let alone the relief and emotional support a man could find in bed.

So, he kept a mistress outside who was beautiful, gentle and considerate.

And this concubine gave birth to a son and a daughter for Mr. Wang in three years.

This daughter was the biological mother of King Yu.

After Mr. Wang passed away, the entire Wang family was naturally controlled by Old Lady Wang and her children.

Although Mr. Wang secretly left a lot of wealth to his concubine, Mrs. Deng knew what her husband meant long ago, and as soon as the old man died, she immediately took back all the wealth.

Perhaps the concubine was afraid that she and her two children would die at the hands of Deng, so she left the place with her two children.

Later, this daughter, Wang Xian'er, entered the palace by chance and successfully climbed onto the dragon bed to become a concubine.

Originally, she could be directly made a concubine based on the return of her son.

However, her birth was really miserable.

How could a daughter of a concubine become the biological mother of a prince?

Moreover, if King Yu behaved like this, even if he were a prince, he would probably have no future at all.

Under the guidance of the noble lady, Wang Xianer immediately summoned Deng into the palace.

Now that the Wang family knew Wang Xianer’s current fortune, how could they dare to act rashly?

Even Deng, such a tough woman, was afraid now.

After all, even if Wang Xian'er could not be made a concubine, she could easily destroy the entire Wang family like crushing an ant.

What's more, it's not worth it to offend the prince.

In order to please Wang Xianer, Deng was willing to offer half of her family wealth, saying that it was left by her father and she was willing to return it all now.

Not only that, Deng also took the initiative to record Wang Xian'er and her siblings in the family tree, and Wang Xian'er became Deng's legitimate daughter.

Although her identity as a mistress was erased, Wang Xian'er could never forget what the Wang family had done to her and her two children.

Therefore, even though the Wang family had done so much, she strictly prohibited the Wang family from claiming to be the prince's mother's family.

The Wang family is not allowed to use the prince's relatives to show off their power.

The Wang family was trembling with fear, and in order to protect themselves, they had to return to Qingyang Town and become an unknown wealthy businessman.

Wang Xianer's biological mother and brother stayed in Shangjing and always kept a low profile, never causing any trouble for Wang Xianer.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in this world, and many noble families know some inside information.

King Yu had only married three concubines up to this point, and none of them were noble ladies from prominent families.

Zhao Jingmo was completely panicked after hearing this, his face turned pale. "So, their Wang family is actually a royal family. Sir, this...what should we do? If we go back to Qingyang to investigate the case, won't the county magistrate of Fujun refuse to cooperate at all?"

Wen Chaoyan said, "I will find an opportunity to present your petition to His Majesty. Although His Majesty is young, he also wants to develop his own power, so he should be willing to give me a chance. Moreover, the young emperor has not yet fully formed his sense of good and evil, so he is also willing to redress such injustices in the world."

"What's more, it concerns his uncle's maternal family. If it is really related to the Wang family, the Queen Mother would be happy to see some results."

The Zhao family’s affairs actually involved the royal family.

Zhao Jingmo was panicked and uneasy.

She was afraid of implicating Jiang Wancheng and the others.

But Jiang Wancheng gave her a reassuring look, "We are not afraid."

Wen Chaoyan: "But by then, I may have other tasks to do, so I can't leave Shangjing to investigate in person. But I will find a reliable person to accompany you back to Qingyang and investigate this case thoroughly. I will do my best to clear your Zhao family's name and settle your blood feud. How do you think?"

Zhao Jingmo was already extremely grateful for such an opportunity. What else could he do?

She almost knelt down, and Jiang Wancheng saw this and quickly pulled her back.

"Mo'er, if you continue like this, you will alienate me!"

Zhao Jingmo had no choice but to stand up and looked at Jiang Wancheng and his wife with red eyes: "If you can settle the blood feud and injustice of my Zhao family, I am willing to work like a cow and a horse for you to repay your kindness!"

Jiang Wancheng glared at her, "Why do I want you to be my slave? I want you to continue to be my good friend, my lifelong friend! Be good and stop saying those useless things."

Zhao Jingmo smiled and wiped his tears again.

"Cheng'er, having you is truly my blessing after three lifetimes of cultivation."

"Oh, there's one more thing. Dalangjun, I have a cousin, who is the eldest son of my uncle. After he was discharged from the army due to injury two years ago, he only went home once and then came to Shangjing. In the past two years, he seldom wrote back, and we only know that he is on duty in the Ministry of Justice in Shangjing."

"But we have no idea where he is or where he lives."

"Something happened at home this time. I don't even have an address, so I can't write to him to report the loss. If possible, can you help me find him?"

Jiang Wancheng had indeed heard that Zhao Jingmo's cousin, Zhao Qinglang's eldest brother, was also in Beijing.

But why is this person so mysterious?

He has not been home for two years, and his family does not know where to contact him in Beijing.

Wen Chaoyan agreed to the matter, Zhao Jingmo expressed his gratitude a few more times, and then said goodbye to the two of them temporarily.

Jingniang was waiting for Zhao Jingmo by the path outside the yard.

Such a big thing happened in Zhao Jingmo's family and she was in a very depressed mood every day, so Liu Jingniang stayed with her whenever she was free.

Seeing Zhao Jingmo coming out, Jingniang hurried forward and asked with concern, "How is it? Is everything going well? Can the eldest son help you?"
