Wei Changying asked Wang and she had nothing to say, but he wanted Wang to admit that Zheng Cuiye's death had nothing to do with her, but Wang refused. She repeatedly emphasized: "I come from a small family, so what are the rules and respect for me?" I don’t even understand, anyway, my daughter was killed at a young age, and I will never give up until this matter comes to light!”
They were arguing back and forth in Weiyang Hall for several hours. It was almost dawn when Shen Shuyu woke up from her sleep. Chief Wei Ying was thinking about going back to comfort his daughter and was too lazy to bother her any more. He said, "Mrs. Wang, you are so careless about the indiscriminate entanglement. How can we get to the bottom of things? Let me give you an idea: I was in the Shen Mansion with my servants the night of your daughter's accident, you shouldn't doubt this, right?"
Wang bit her lip and said, "Yes, but..."
"My servants and I are all in the Shen Mansion, within the imperial capital. So if I want to harm your wife, it must be through the people who were in Zhuangzi at that time, right?" Wei Changying sneered, "Go and investigate these people. Just ask if you were instigated by someone. Of course, if you say you were instigated by someone, you have to provide evidence! Otherwise, how can you get away with it if you are innocent?"
Mrs. Zhou frowned slightly - she was a little worried that Liu Ruoye's identity would be exposed, so she couldn't help but glance at the latter. But she saw Liu Ruoye also looking at her, his eyes cold and mocking.
This kind of look made Mrs. Zhou feel very unhappy: "Why do you think I have treated you badly? But based on your experience, you should not have come back to your natal family and ruined the reputation of your natal family! I tolerated my husband placing you in Zhuangzi, you What else do you want?”
Mrs. Zhou cursed the sister-in-law in her heart and said: "In my opinion, I'm afraid it's Miss Zheng's left and right people who are more problematic. There is something I don't understand. It's not like His Majesty didn't reward Lu Guogong Mansion Zhuangzi. Why does Miss Zheng always run away?" Going to my house in a village that is so remote that I can’t even remember it without looking through the ledger? This seems to be trying to connect Miss Zheng’s accident with the Liu family.”
She was afraid that Liu Ruoye would reveal her identity if she couldn't bear the torture and bring shame to the Liu family. Mrs. Zhou had no choice but to drag out the servants who were serving Zheng Cuiye, and tried every means to draw everyone's attention elsewhere.
Wang's face looked ugly: "I didn't discipline my daughter well, which caused her to often go to your village to disturb you. It was my fault, and my daughter was a little too Meng Lang. But no matter what, she was right enough to have to pay for it. , I’m not wrong enough to suffer the pain of losing a daughter because of this! Moreover, Mrs. Zhou, you keep saying that the Liu family has a lot of property. You can’t remember this place without looking through the account books, but that village belongs to the Liu family. You can't deny it! In this case, why do you only mention my daughter's past and not your negligence? I think you have many sisters-in-law, but you don't even care about the family's property! Now that my daughter is gone, it will be found out that she is rebelling. Do you think it will be covered up by saying that a certain property has not been taken care of for a long time? "
Because Wang was full of resentment, she said these words too fast - so fast that Queen Qiu had no time to stop her!
Sure enough, Mrs. Zhou's expression changed, and she immediately bowed to the empress Qiu Qiu: "Please give me a warning, the empress! Although my Liu family did not follow your majesty at the beginning of his imperial career, we have never had any evil intentions since joining the imperial family! Not to mention the imperial court. When they discussed the crusade against the southwest, Zhuo Fu immediately responded and rushed to the front with his own armor! Is it just a cruel trick according to Mrs. Wang's intention to sacrifice his life this time? The young lady died young again, and Mrs. Wang’s words really chilled the hearts of those who have come to serve under His Majesty!”
Queen Qiu scolded angrily: "Ms. Wang! Are you overwhelmed by the pain of losing your daughter?! What nonsense did you say? Why don't you apologize to Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wei quickly!"
Wang's face was gloomy, but she still followed Empress Qiu's words and saluted Mrs. Zhou and Wei Changying, who were looking very solemn at the moment, and whispered: "I'm so sad. I have something bad to say, please." Don’t be offended!”
Wei Changying glanced at her expressionlessly and thought, "Is this a strange question now? As a member of the new rich, you blatantly said in person that you suspected the Liu family was rebelling. Doesn't that mean that from Wen Yaozi to you guys? The new rich from the common people do not trust us, the nobles who later joined us!"
Even if Queen Qiu specifically mentioned the "pain of losing her daughter" to cover up the Wang family, is this kind of thing so easy to cover up
"Of course Mrs. Wang is sad." Mrs. Zhou also knows this - especially since the recent war in the southwest of Dayong has gone very smoothly, and the prestige of Wen Yaozi, the new emperor, is rapidly being established...
The Zhou family in Xilin has also experienced the three dynasties of Dahe, Dawei and now Dayong. How could Mrs. Zhou not understand what a big deal it would be if Wang's words were said by others and not by her own words!
So she refused to let go of this matter no matter what she said, and said coldly, "But people are very sad, and what they tell is usually the truth - so this is how Mrs. Wang usually thinks about our family, or... Who heard it from and kept it in mind?”
Wei Changying said calmly: "It's weird that Miss Zheng died on the Liu Family Village. And it's even more unreasonable for me to be dragged into the water. Before today, I had never thought about Miss Zheng's age. A girl will fall in love with a humble husband! But my eldest son has reached the age of marriage. To put it bluntly, my eldest son is considered to be both talented and beautiful even if he belongs to a famous family! "
Mrs. Zhou sneered and said: "Second Young Master Shen is more handsome than anyone else and has a sharp mind. We all know this. I don't have a daughter. If I have one, she is similar in age to the Young Master. I have to find a way to follow him again." Mrs. Wei, a relative of the Shen family, is right. A girl of Miss Zheng's age, even if she is pregnant, should choose young men who are as talented and beautiful as she is, rather than those who are already old enough to be her. Father’s Lord Shen, right?”
She looked at Mrs. Wang, "Is it because Miss Zheng is dead and Mrs. Wang doesn't care about her reputation as an only daughter and wants to drag the Shen family into trouble?!"
Queen Shou Qiu’s face was extremely ugly!
At this point, the focus is no longer on the cause of Zheng Cuiye's death, but on the uneasiness of people like Shen and Liu, how to appease them!
"Ms. Wang, you are talking nonsense and slandering the loyal ministers of famous families! How can you be worthy of being a royal minister?!" Queen Qiu took a deep breath. To be honest, whether it was her personal relationship with the Wang family or the purpose of supporting Wen Zhiqi's ascension to the throne, Queen Qiu was not willing to deal with it. The Wang family - after all, they are relatives and representatives of the new rich, so Zheng Sanya has a bad temper and is unreasonable. After coming back, she might rush to the harem to argue with the queen - but Queen Qiu knows better. If she doesn't do anything about this matter, Come up with an explanation to restore the rift in the trust between the king and his ministers caused by Wang's blunder. Wen Yaozi might directly depose her as a queen if she finds out!
After all, if she doesn't deal with the Wang family quickly to prove her trust in the Liu family and the Shen family, when Wen Yaozi receives the news and wants to repair the rift, I'm afraid it will be too late - the Southwest is still fighting, and the Yongding Ding has not yet been destroyed. Only a few days? !
Queen Qiu didn't have this look or courage at all. How could Wen Yaozi tolerate it? !
Therefore, Empress Qiu became cruel and said with a cold face, "Come here! According to the decree of this palace, the Wang family is relying on the pain of losing her daughter, and her words are full of nonsense! It is suspected that her mind is unclear! I will revoke her title of first-class wife and demote her. For the people’s wives!”
Sun Mo responded, and a palace maid came forward, took off Madam Wang's hairpin and took off her dress. The queen did this, and Wei Changying and Madam Zhou were not surprised. Gao and Mrs. But Zhao was also shocked!
Mrs. Gao thought for a while about whether her mother-in-law was an official, but Mrs. Zhao stepped forward to stop the palace maid and shouted to Danqi Shang: "Brother and sister, what do you mean? Ye'er is gone, and the second sister-in-law is now I don’t know how uncomfortable I am! It’s okay to force her to apologize, but now you’ve even taken her life! Does it mean that we are useless now that the world has been conquered?”
"Shut up!" Queen Qiu's eyes showed anger! When she first heard the words "brother and sister", she was reminded of the old love she had when she heard that Yaozi was not in trouble. But when she heard Zhao's words, she wanted to draw all the new rich people to her side and talk about herself as the queen. It was unfair, and the old feelings in Queen Qiu's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace!
She immediately ordered the palace maid to push Zhao down and "palm her mouth! Let's see if she still dares to be rude in front of me!"
... All in all, the Queen's personal interrogation on this day not only failed to clarify the cause of Zheng Cuiye's death and the murderer, but instead caused an even greater disturbance!
It was not until noon that the guard Chang Ying returned to Shen's mansion. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard Shen Shuyu's cry.
"My baby is crying again?" She gathered her energy and rushed to the side room, where she saw two wet nurses surrounding the baby, coaxing and persuading her. But how could such a big child understand? Weeping with her eyes closed, Wei Changying hurriedly shouted: "My dear, my mother is back!"
Shen Shuye immediately fell silent, with tears hanging on her long eyelashes, and looked towards her.
The wet nurse and the other servants all breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Miss Qi Sun is smart. She recognizes her mother at such a young age. Madam, if you are not at home, none of us can coax Miss Qi from crying."
"You stay here obediently. I'll change my clothes and come with you as soon as I can." Wei Changying felt sweet in his heart. He stepped forward and touched his daughter's little head and warned her gently.
When she returned to her room, she saw Shen Zangfeng half-lying on the couch. If he hadn't picked up a book to read, Wei Changying would have thought he was sick, so he complained, "You still have the time to read here? My child. You're crying like that, but you don't want to hug me!"
"The heartless little thing will recognize you." Shen Zangfeng put down the book and said with a wry smile, "I just went to hold her, but she cried even harder. The wet nurse tactfully drove me away, so I had no choice but to stay here. "
While changing into his regular clothes, Wei Changying said: "Since you are not busy right now, I will hold my daughter and tell you something - what Wang said in the palace today, the matter is in big trouble!" (Unfinished) to be continued)
