Wang Tuiguan has always been familiar with Shen Chen. He glanced at Shen Chen, then looked at Mrs. Li on the ground, sighed and said, "Ordinarily, we don't mind other people's family affairs, but if someone dies, it's not a family matter. The eldest lady said with her own mouth that you forced her to die, and asked the maid to torture her. This is more than just a family matter."
He put his hands down in front of him, calmly rejected the interruption of Madam Qi, stared at Old Lady Li in front of him seriously, and said righteously: "You should go to the government office with us. Whether the third wife was drugged to death or the first wife was forced to death, we will know everything after a visit to the government office."
Mother Qi was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. Hearing these words was like hearing some bad news. She looked at Old Lady Li with a pale face without blinking, and shouted with all her might, and then moved closer: "Old Lady! You... "
Before he could finish his words, Wang Tuiguan glanced at him and asked, "Is this the Qi mother who forced someone to death for you?"
Mother Qi was suddenly called out and was startled. She took a few steps back before she staggered back to her feet and waved her hands hurriedly: "I... I didn't... I don't know..."
Now she has long lost her previous arrogance and is like a dog that has lost its home.
She knew in her heart that if today's incident had not alarmed the government, it could be covered up. It would not matter if she offended the Wei family, even if she offended Marquis Pingxi and Princess Shouning as well.
Anyway, Li San was trying to plot against the Wei family but failed, so he got angry and humiliated.
But if the government is alerted now, the situation will be completely different. Since Mrs. Li has interfered, Li San will definitely protect Mrs. Li.
The Wei family has done their job more cleanly, and now Mrs. Li is obviously on the side of the Wei family. Since they said they wanted to force them to death, it must be true.
But Li San would definitely let her take the blame and would never let Old Lady Li bear the charges, so she would be the one who would be unlucky.
But she doesn't want to die.
Being alive is the real benefit, everything else is false, and when people die, everything is really gone.
She was so frightened that she trembled and dared not interrupt again.
Old Madam Li had never been to the government office in her life. To put her in jail was no different from asking her to die. At this point, she calmed down instead. She looked at Wei An and Shen Chen fiercely and said, "So this is what you were planning."
Now that she thinks about it, Mrs. Li went to see Wei Yuyou against her will for no reason, and then something happened to Wei Yuyou. Mrs. Li asked the maids to rush out to look for him, and even mentioned that the funeral supplies had to be prepared. There are really strange things going on here.
The people of the Wei family obviously also understood. First, they immediately sent servants back to invite the master. Second, they had the courage to break into the house without caring about anything and made a big fuss under the pretext that the young lady was about to die.
She was the first to get anxious. After thinking through all the intricacies, she couldn't help but want to deal with the first wife as she did in the past. Who knew that the first wife would sincerely oppose her and even said she was going to die, and even ran to hit her head against a pillar to commit suicide... ..
The arrangement of these links is really clever.
If her crime of preparing to torture and kill her daughter-in-law was confirmed, then why bother? The Wei family could just take her away. There was no need to divorce her, let alone divorce her. The Wei family could just write a letter of righteousness.
What a cunning plan!
These two young people were much more cunning and eccentric than an old woman like her who had lived to such an old age, and yet they had calculated everything accurately.
Wei An didn't even look at her again. Since the people from Shuntian Prefecture had arrived, then it was natural for Old Lady Li to go where she should go. She raised her head and looked at Shen Chen and said, "I'll go see my fifth sister."
Shen Chen nodded and asked Nanny Wang and Lin Hai's family to accompany her and take good care of her.
Yuqing nodded hurriedly beside him: "Don't worry, we all know it."
There may not be peace in this mansion, so it is better to be careful in everything.
Shen Chen nodded, knowing that Wei An's tattooing skills were pretty good, so he watched Wei An go in with peace of mind. It was not convenient for him to enter the women's bedroom, and he was impatient to see Old Lady Li's dying look, so he went outside and stood under a loquat tree.
He was standing, but no one else dared to ask him to stand. Immediately, a servant of the Li family went to find an armchair for him to sit on, and all his words were full of flattery.
The Li family's wealth only came after Grandpa Li succeeded in the imperial examination, and it only lasted for one generation. If they had any accumulation, there was really none, and naturally there were not many loyal servants. Everyone knew that if the family broke up, they would be sold again, so naturally they would not help the temporary master to offend the powerful Marquis of Pingxi.
Shen Chen sat on the armchair, looking at Old Lady Li who was furious, he narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered.
I don't know why, the more mean people are, the less they want to be accused of being mean. It is clear that Old Mrs. Li was mean to her daughter-in-law, but she didn't want others to know that she abused her daughter-in-law. It's such a ridiculous contradiction.
This time it was Xuesong who followed him out. Seeing him looking over there, he said, "My Lord, don't worry about anything. They can't cause any trouble."
It's just the Li family. It would be fine if they hadn't been caught in a weak spot, but now that the evidence has been presented to them, even if the Xu family really wants to intervene, they will have to have the ability to do so.
Shen Chen originally didn't take them seriously, so he just smiled when he heard him say that, and ordered him: "By the way, go find the young masters and young ladies in this mansion and bring Zhao Ge'er over."
Wei Yuyou was obviously being threatened with Zhao Ge'er and that was why he didn't dare to leave. Now he was covering up for the Li family. It would be better to bring Zhao Ge'er back.
Xue Song responded.
Once you meet an official, many things will go haywire. Old Madam Li is not the type to manage a household. When Madam Li gave up, the servants under her were simply unable to keep things under control, and it was easy to find someone to help.
Although it was really against the rules to look for someone in someone else's inner courtyard, but think about it, the Li family didn't have many rules, so there was no question of whether it was an overstepping of authority or not, or offending someone or not. So Xuesong took people to look for someone without any psychological burden.
He was also quick in his actions, and soon led people to find out the location, and came back to ask Shen Chen what he meant: "It's in the old lady's yard, Zhao Ge'er's nanny didn't dare to bring him here."
This is asking Shen Chen how far he should go. If he encounters someone who insists on stopping him, what should he do? (To be continued)
