On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

Finally, the old woman finally gave in.

Shen Wantang let out a long sigh, suppressing the grief in his heart: "Bring the person into the house."

"The first lady had a miscarriage, not because of her weak body, but because Aunt Liu secretly gave her medicine. Although the medicine was not harmful to the fetus, it really ruined the first lady's body."

The old woman told everything.

At that time, the clerk beside her wrote down everything the old woman said.

"When the late Madam had a miscarriage and was in confinement, Aunt Liu would hang around in front of her with her belly bulging. The late Madam was already depressed because of losing her child, and her health became even worse. Finally, Aunt Liu ordered someone to drug the late Madam, which led to her death..."

After hearing this, Shen Wantang was already in tears, and the bones of his clenched fists turned white. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Is what you said true?"

The old woman kowtowed repeatedly: "Every word I said is true!"

At that time, Shen Wantang's throat was aching slightly and he could no longer speak.

Qing'e stepped forward and said, "Go and give your fingerprints. In the future, all of these will be used as evidence in court."

After a while, Shen Wantang finally came back to his senses. He stared at the old woman with a frown on his face: "Where is the person who poisoned me now?"

"Madam Liu originally wanted me to kill that woman, but I took her money and sent her to the farm..."

The old woman murmured in a low voice: "The woman is now at Hongye Manor outside the city."

After getting the confession from the old woman, Shen Wantang waved his hand.

The guards continued to stuff the old woman's mouth, then moved her out and sent her to the Ministry of Justice prison overnight. Now, the old woman was safest in prison.

After interrogating the old woman, Shen Wantang felt a sharp pain in his heart, his breathing stagnated, and his face turned purple.

Tears flowed down uncontrollably.

She raised her head in pain and looked at the stars in the sky, wondering which one was her gentle and quiet mother.

The late Madam was such a kind person that she did not drive Concubine Liu out when she learned that she was pregnant. Instead, she handled the matter of taking her in properly. With the help of official documents, Concubine Liu, the "good concubine", was taken into the mansion.

Unexpectedly, my kindness would become a sharp weapon stabbing my own chest.

"Miss."

Just when Shen Wantang was crying her heart out, a gentle voice pulled her out of the darkness.

Qing'e gently stroked Shen Wantang's back, her brows furrowed, wishing she could feel bad for her.

"Miss, I heard from the old woman that the woman has a black birthmark on the inside of her left arm. I have sent someone to Hongye Manor overnight to make sure that the woman will not run away."

Shen Wantang looked relaxed and nodded slightly, the murderous intent in his eyes slowly returning.

Early the next morning, Shen Wantang got up early and rode towards Hongye Manor outside the city.

Outside Hongye Manor, the guards were on high alert and not even a fly could get in.

Just as Shen Wantang jumped off the horse, the village head hurried over.

"Miss..." The village head hesitated and looked unhappy.

"What happened?" Shen Wantang asked coldly.

"I failed to take good care of her. Last night, the girl died at home!" The head of the village had a bitter face and his voice trembled a little.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wantang's pupils suddenly shrank.

At that time, the outside of the women's courtyard was already surrounded by people who came to watch the fun.

"This woman never worked and had no shortage of money, so how could she die..."

"I heard that he hanged himself. I don't know what he was thinking about. Sigh..."

"She doesn't have to work and yet she can live in such a nice yard. Who knows, some land thug might have coveted her money and killed her!"

The people were talking a lot.

Shen Wantang was led by the head of the village to the woman's residence. When he pushed the door open, he saw a corpse hanging from the beam.

The village head almost fainted when he saw this. He turned his head away repeatedly, closed his eyes and muttered "Amitabha".

The guard nearby put the man down, and with Shen Wantang's instruction, one of the guards leaned over to check the body.

"Miss, there are two marks on your neck."

It was just as Shen Wantang expected.

"Boss, just tell everyone that this woman's parents passed away and she was so upset that she followed him. Don't spread any other stories."

Shen Wantang's expression was terrifyingly quiet, and Zhuangtou nodded tremblingly.

After sending the people outside away, Shen Wantang leaned over and took a look at the woman.

I have so many doubts in my mind, but I can't figure out why.

"Miss, what should we do now..."

Seeing the man who drugged his mother die suddenly, Shen Wantang felt calm.

"Wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave."

She stood up and walked out with big strides.

At that time, Shen Wantang stood up, jumped on his horse and rushed towards the city.

in the palace.

"Is the Queen Mother still ill?"

In front of the Empress Dowager's palace, Ji Xunchuan stood there steadily, his heart furrowed.

The eunuch beside him nodded and sighed: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has been ill since the palace banquet. Now she is relying on ginseng soup to keep her spirits up. The Queen serves her every day, and now she is also ill..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xunchuan frowned and clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Personnel Xia Huai'en is already waiting in the Imperial Study."

The eunuch came hurriedly.

Ji Xunchuan's thoughts slowly came back to him.

"Tell my mother that I have been here. Then tell the Imperial Hospital that no matter what precious herbs they have, they must take care of my mother and the queen."

Ji Xunchuan left a few words and then left the Queen Mother's bedroom.

"This Shen Wantang!"

Long Jia arrived at the imperial study, where Xia Huai'en had been waiting for a long time.

"The Shen family is really getting more and more presumptuous! I thought General Shen was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but I didn't expect that the daughter he raised would be so arrogant! He refuted the Queen Mother, and now, the Queen Mother is still bedridden!"

Before he saw Ji Xunchuan, Xia Huai'en heard his furious voice.

Just hearing this voice, Xia Huai'en felt uneasy.

Ji Xunchuan came to the imperial study and glanced coldly at Xia Huai'en who was kneeling on the ground: "Xia Qing, what are you doing here?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have lived up to Your Majesty's trust. All redundant officials in the court have been dismissed, and many corrupt officials have been punished. What remains now is to re-discipline the officials."

As he spoke, Xia Huai'en raised the memorial in his hand high.

The eunuch brought the memorial up, and Ji Xunchuan just glanced at it and then slammed it on the table.

Seeing Ji Xunchuan like this, Xia Huai'en plucked up his courage and said, "Your Majesty, are you worried about the Shen family?"

"Among all the people in the court, the only one who can make me so angry is the Shen family!"

Ji Xunchuan raised his voice by a pitch, and his roar might be heard even outside the palace.

"General Shen is proud of his achievements, and the daughter he raised is also like this. Xia Qing, what do you think about this matter?"
