Black Lotus Concubine's Case-solving Notes

Meng hugged Xie Yunyao tightly and pleaded in a low voice: "Husband, even if it is true as the Taoist said, Yao'er is indeed the reincarnation of an evil dragon, but haven't we been living in peace for so many years?"

"But now things have already happened," Feng Jia frowned and said, "Sixth brother has lost his hand because of Sister Yunyao, and grandmother has developed a cough because of Sister Yunyao. Why did mother turn a blind eye to it?"

"Xie Lanzhao, shut up!" Meng was furious.

Feng Jia said, "Father, I know Sister Yunyao is the apple of your eye, but you still have Brother Yan, the eldest brother, the third brother, and Sister Shubai. We are all your children. Do you want to gamble the fate of all of us just because of Sister Yunyao? Bet that she won't ruin our future?"

Feng Jia sneered in her heart, Xie Qian, do you dare?

Do you dare to destroy your years of planning for Xie Yunyao? Do you dare to sacrifice your official career for her? Do you dare to take risks with your precious sons?

Xie Qian didn't dare.

Not only did he not dare, but Xie Qian also felt that it was a good thing to recognize that Xie Yunyao was just a good-for-nothing before entering the harem. It was much better than letting the Xie family and his eldest son and third son be implicated because of her stupidity in the future.

However, Ninth Girl's words reminded him.

He did not only have Xie Yunyao as his daughter, he also had Shubai. In terms of appearance and talent, Shubai was no worse than Yunyao, and was even better. Although she was not his biological daughter, she had been raised by his side since childhood, and was better than his biological daughter.

At worst, he still had Xie Lanzhao. Although she was just a little concubine, Yunyao was far inferior to her in terms of means and wisdom. If she and Shubai were both sent to the harem in the future, Shubai would compete for favor, and Lanzhao would be responsible for cleaning up the opponents. In addition, with his influence in the court, by then, the position of queen would definitely belong to the Xie family!

Thinking of this, Xie Qian's eyes immediately sank: "You disappoint me so much, Yun Yao! Someone, get him down for me!"

This sentence undoubtedly sentenced Xie Yunyao to death.

"Father! No! Father, are you really going to burn Yao'er to death? I don't believe it! Mother!" Xie Yunyao panicked and threw herself at Meng's feet, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. The daughter of the first wife who usually looked high and mighty had panic and despair in her eyes at this moment: "Mother, please beg Daddy, I don't want to die, Yao'er really doesn't want to die!"

Mrs. Meng looked at her daughter, whom she had taken good care of, crawling on the ground with mud all over her body and face. She felt her heart was about to break: "Husband! How could you do this to my Yao'er! She is your legitimate daughter!"

Feng Jia reminded him at the right time: "What legitimate daughter? Mother, she is a disaster."

Meng screamed: "Xie Lanzhao! You wish Yunyao would die, don't you?"

At this moment, Meng was really panicking. Her Yan'er had already lost an arm, and she couldn't lose Yun Yao again! Absolutely not!

Meng fell to her knees, no longer showing her usual arrogance. She was as humble as a beggar, begging for charity from Xie Qian: "My husband, I was wrong. I admit it. I did all this. I invited this Taoist priest and asked him to frame Xie Lanzhao on the spot. It was me. I did all this!"

Meng slapped herself again and again with her palms, and in the astonished eyes of the servants, she kept saying that she was wrong. She did not stop until her cheeks were swollen and blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth.

All the reputation that she had maintained with great effort over the years collapsed and was destroyed today, but Meng didn't care at all. She only wanted Yun Yao.

After hearing all this, Tan was horrified. "Sister-in-law, how can you be so cruel! Yun Yao's life is life, but Lan Zhao's life is not life?"

Recalling something, Feng asked again: "What about before? What about the previous rumors? Were they also false?"

"It's fake! It's all fake!" Meng cried, "I hate it, I hate that Xie Lanzhao's mother looks better than me, I'm jealous, I'm jealous of the master's love for the third concubine, and I'm also afraid, I'm afraid that my husband will love the third concubine and her family too, I'm afraid that if Xie Lanzhao is born, it will threaten Yao'er's status!"

"That's why I arranged for an old Taoist priest to make up a rumor that Xie Lanzhao was the reincarnation of an evil dragon. I thought she would definitely die in Shicheng, but I didn't expect her to come back alive and oppose me at every turn! I was furious, so I used the same trick again and arranged today's scene!"

"I was confident of winning, but I still lost... Husband! I did all this, you can blame me if you want, you can confine me, you can deprive me of my position as the legal mother, I only ask my husband to let Yao'er go, she is innocent! She knew nothing about it!"

Xie Qian frowned, why did he marry such a selfish and jealous fool? !

Musk's eyes were also unhappy. She used to think that although Meng was a little stupid, she still knew the general situation. She didn't expect that she was so ignorant of the rules and used such a sinister trick to frame a concubine's daughter!

It's simply too unpresentable!

Feng Jia smiled and said, "Mother, I didn't expect you to do this for my sister. You even gave up your own reputation?"

Meng was mad: "What do you mean! What I said is true!"

Feng Jia blinked: "True or false, I think my father and grandmother have already made their judgment. You'd better not waste your breath now, otherwise it will make the Xie family a laughing stock for outsiders to see!"

"What I said is true! It's all true! If I say even a lie, God will strike me with lightning!" Meng felt that she was about to be driven crazy by Xie Lanzhao.

"Mother, do you have any evidence?"

"Yes, evidence!" Meng's eyes lit up, and she shouted behind her, "Xia Chan! Tell them quickly, did I ask you to slip the note with Ninth Girl's birth date to that Taoist priest?"

Xia Chan's body was pulled crooked by her, and she knelt down tremblingly. She didn't know why things suddenly took a turn for the worse. She was terrified for a moment, fearing that she would cause a bigger disaster, and hurriedly said, "Madam, Xia Chan didn't do it, please don't wrongly accuse me!"

"Bitch! What are you talking about!" Meng looked incredulous.

Xia Chan kowtowed repeatedly and said, "I really don't know either! Please, Master, please look into this matter!"

Meng was speechless for a moment because of shock, but suddenly she remembered something and shouted to the Taoist priest standing next to her: "Then tell me! Did I ask you to spread rumors? I also promised to reward you with 100 taels of silver later!"

The old Taoist priest subconsciously glanced at Feng Jia, only to see that the other party was looking at him sharply. He felt his tongue go cold for a moment, and immediately retorted in a serious tone: "What reward silver, what hundred taels, Madam, I am devoted to Taoism, please don't slander my reputation!"

"How is this possible! You are lying! Why did you lie!" Meng screamed and was about to pounce on the old Taoist priest, but fortunately she was held back by the servants.

"Ms. Meng! You're just like a shrew now!" Xie Qian said with disgust.

"Husband! I have been framed! These two people were instigated by Xie Lanzhao to frame me! Please, husband, help me and Yun Yao!" Meng cried and wailed.

Feng Jia looked at her with a slightly scrutinizing gaze: "Mother, you keep saying that I framed you. Even if this old Taoist priest was bribed by me, what about Xia Chan? She has been with mother for many years! How could Zhao Er bribe her? Mother, do you hate me so much that you want to kill me?"

"I didn't! Everything I said is true!" Meng was desperate. She had lost, completely. At this moment, all hatred and disgust were not worth mentioning. She just wanted Yao'er to survive!

Meng broke free from the restraints of the servants and knelt on the ground: "Mother knows her mistakes, please let me and Yao'er go!"

Every time she spoke, she would nod her head down, her forehead was covered with blood and her face was full of humiliation.

But she had no choice, face was not worth mentioning in front of Yaoer!

At this moment, not only the servants in the mansion were terrified, but even Tan and several concubines standing aside looked astonished.

Is this still the same Meng who is so high and mighty and acts arrogantly every day?

As a legitimate mother, she actually knelt down to a concubine's daughter? And was she so servile?
