The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

The news of the Crown Princess' suicide spread throughout the capital within an hour.

When Academician Fang found out that his daughter was so angry that she fell ill, he dragged his sick body to submit a memorial to seek justice for his daughter. For a while, the court was in turmoil and the emperor was furious.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. At one time, memorials impeaching Earl Yongkang came pouring in like a tide.

He was impeached for failing to educate his daughter properly and for forming a clique for personal gain.

Among them, he used his power to obtain the position of prefect of Chengzhou for his distant relative. However, after taking office, the prefect not only did nothing, but also colluded with local landlords and bullies, bullying men and women, collecting taxes, extorting money, and plundering the people. He did all kinds of evil, which led to the local crime rate rising year by year.

Whenever local officials wanted to report his actions to the capital, they would be suppressed by Earl Yongkang.

The emperor was furious in the court and stripped him of his title on the spot and demoted him to a commoner.

After knowing this, Lin Yanyan wanted Lin Shilou to plead for the Yongkang Marquis' Mansion, but Lin Shilou was afraid of implicating himself, so he did not give her the chance to enter the mansion. Even Meng kept her under strict supervision to prevent the mother and daughter from causing trouble for him.

Originally, she had been fantasizing that as the eldest son, Wang Pinyi had the opportunity to inherit the title, and that she could at least become a countess in the future, so she had let it go after marrying into the Earl's Mansion. But now her dream was shattered, and she really couldn't accept it.

After returning home, she had a big fight with Wang Pinyi and threatened to divorce him. Wang Pinyi had a bad temper to begin with, and now that he had lost the Earl's Mansion, he had become a drunkard who drank all day long. When he heard that Lin Yanyan wanted to divorce him, he broke her legs in a rage.

Lin Yanyan spent every day in the Wang family like a year, and kept hoping that her parents would come to save her.

But she was afraid that she would never be able to wait.

There are no eggs left under the overturned nest.

The suicide of the Crown Princess made the Emperor completely disappointed in the Crown Prince. He ordered him to be confined to the palace, and seemed to be thinking of deposing the Crown Prince. However, out of consideration for the Queen and her maternal family, the order to depose the Crown Prince was delayed.

King Xuan took advantage of this period of time to collect more evidence of the Crown Prince's factionalism, corruption and bribery.

The building is full of flowers.

"Lord, we have all heard that it was you who helped find the murderer of the Crown Prince's concubine. The murderer's father, Earl Yongkang, was the backer of the murderer who killed Brother Guan's family."

Shen Xiang talked about this matter with great interest, and Guan Ming also showed a long-lost smile on his face.

Mu Yan was surprised for a moment. It turned out that the prefect of Chengzhou was the murderer who killed Guan Ming's father and sister. The prefect's backer in the capital was Earl Yongkang. She had inadvertently helped Guan Ming to avenge his death.

"This is a coincidence, but it's also a happy thing to be able to help you get revenge indirectly. How are you living here?"

"Brother Tang treats us very well, and now that we have new identities, we don't have to hide anymore."

Mu Yan felt very comforted to see that his subordinates got along well with each other.

"By the way, why did you ask me to come here this time?"

At this time, Tang Wen's face became serious: "Lord, we just heard the news last night that the head of the Hanlin Academy, Lin Shilou, helped the prince to buy and sell official positions privately."

After hearing this, Mu Yan's mind buzzed and she suddenly thought of the ending of the Lin family in the previous life. The Lin family was confiscated and Lin Shishi became a government prostitute.

Although Lin Shilou's death was not a pity, she could not watch Lin Shishi become a court prostitute. What's more, Madam Lin was old and the journey of exile was difficult. How could she endure such hardship?

"Is this news accurate? Where did you hear it from?"

Although Mu Yan knew that Hua Manlou's information was never wrong, so it had an excellent reputation and a constant source of customers, but Mu Yan just wanted to take a gamble on a one in ten thousand chance.

Tang Wen nodded confidently, "This news was said by the Minister of Justice himself, so it must be correct. Moreover, according to him, once all the evidence is collected, they will report it to the emperor as soon as possible."

The Minister of Justice Wang Junjie is King Xuan's man, and he is in charge of the Ministry of Justice. It is not difficult for him to collect evidence. This matter must be true.

It seems that King Xuan is taking this opportunity to overthrow the Crown Prince. Once all the evidence is collected, they will launch a fierce attack, and by then the Lin family will definitely not be able to survive as cannon fodder.

……

"What?! Where did you get this information, cousin? Are you sure it's accurate?" Han Jiuxiao stood up from the stool after learning that Lin Shilou helped the prince buy and sell official positions.

"Speak a little more quietly, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall." He calmed down only after Mu Yan rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry about where the news came from, but I'm sure it's true."

Han Jiuxiao knew her cousin's character. She wouldn't joke about this kind of thing. He asked cautiously, "What about Miss Lin?"

Mu Yan's expression was serious: "Cousin, let me ask you, if Shishi didn't have the identity of the eldest daughter of the Lin family, would you still like her?"

Han Jiuxiao also answered seriously: "Of course, I like her not because of her identity, but because she is who she is."

Mu Yan felt more relieved after hearing Han Jiuxiao's answer.

"How long will it take for Grandfather to return to Beijing?"

"Based on the distance they traveled, I estimate that they will be able to reach the capital in ten days at the latest."

Hearing Mu Yan ask this, Han Jiuxiao could guess roughly in his mind.

Although Lin Shilou helped the prince to buy and sell official positions, his crime was extremely serious, but it was not a crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of his clan. The most he could do was to confiscate his property and exile.

A married daughter is like spilled water. She belongs to her husband's family, so she will not be implicated, but will be called the daughter of a criminal.

If the marriage between Lin Shishi and Han Jiuxiao could be arranged before the Lin family was convicted, then she would be a member of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion, and she would not be implicated if the Lin family was convicted.

As for her identity as the daughter of a guilty minister, I guess no one dared to say it to her face.

The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had just made military achievements and held military power. I believe no one would be so blind as to dare to offend the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion at this time.

As for what is said behind one’s back, let them say it if they want. The mouth is on other people’s body, so if they can’t hear it, just pretend it didn’t happen.

But the most difficult thing is to find a way to delay the time for King Xuan and his party to report. If the Lin family is convicted, it will be extremely difficult to rescue Lin Shishi.

After all, in the last life, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was feared by the emperor because their achievements surpassed their master. If the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery still rushes to form an alliance with the Lin family after the Lin family is convicted, isn't this clearly going against the emperor's will?

She couldn't risk the entire Loyalty and Bravery Mansion, so she had to find a way to delay time.
