Spring Secrets

Chapter 1464: Two Hundred and Sixty-Eight Severe Punishment

Views:

Mrs. Qin San was so frightened that her legs went limp. She was so frightened that she was in a daze and couldn't even think straight. But now that she realized her situation, her heart almost stopped beating. She called out to her mother in a heart-wrenching voice, "If this guy really goes to the Jinyiwei, how can I, your wife, have any dignity from now on?!"

Did she think she didn't know? The character of Qin San Lao Ye was exactly the same as that of Qin Lao Tai Ye. He had someone else outside early on. Although there is no cat that doesn't steal fish in this world, the problem is that Qin San Lao Ye is a person who can eat anything dirty and smelly. In the past, I had never done anything wrong. I was always able to help at home. Qin San Lao Ye even made a scandal of promising his concubine to be the first wife. What's more, if I went to prison, he would be allowed to do whatever he wanted.

People are selfish. It is hard to even say the word death, let alone if it really happens to them. Mrs. Qin San's eyes were blurred with tears. She gritted her teeth and refused to follow him: "Mother, please go and plead for me..."

She didn't say anything after that, but as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who have lived together for so many years, everyone could guess what she was going to say without her saying it. Old Master Qin's face turned ugly, and he coughed and showed some impatience, but Old Lady Qin was different.

She was still very patient, smiling and saying a few more words to the Jinyiwei, before she personally went to support Mrs. Qin San: "If I were involved in this matter, you would die even faster! For so many years, I know you think the third brother is unreliable, and you bought a lot of things outside. Have I ever said anything? Just be good, and you will have everything after you pass this stage. Those things are all yours, and I will definitely not say a word even if you move everything back to your parents' home."

Madam Qin San naturally had her own plans. After all, everyone has to think about themselves. When she heard what Old Lady Qin said, she was stunned and didn't speak for a long time. When the Jinyiwei came up one after another to urge her, she lowered her head and covered her face, then stood up with a sad face, trying her best to make her expression look normal.

Fortunately, what Old Lady Qin said was true. Although it was the Jinyiwei who came to question her, they also took into consideration the good relationship between the Qin family and Prince Linjiang, and did not treat her too harshly. Even when they were interrogating her, they did not choose the gloomy-looking torture chamber. She looked at the clerks in front of her who were preparing to record and coughed unnaturally.

Su Jia, who was brought out by Ying Kai who was interrogating her, was also an old acquaintance of the Qin family. He looked at Mrs. Qin San and asked with some embarrassment: "Did you go to the Wei family?"

Mrs. Qin San knew that they had come for this matter. She perked up and nodded quickly: "Yes, I went there once..." Her tongue was like a spring, chattering non-stop: "Because my family mentioned the Wei family a few times, I took it to heart. I knew that the princess of the Wei family seemed to have something wrong, so I thought of telling Mrs. Wei..."

While Su Jia was looking at the written records, she asked her, "Why did you go to the Wei family to talk about this? Do you have a good relationship with the Wei family?"

Prince Linjiang gave a series of incoherent orders, and the people under him had no choice but to follow them. However, they were still confused and didn't know what the interrogation was about. However, since they were told to find out who instigated Old Madam Wei to enter the palace, they had no choice but to do their job responsibly. Otherwise, they might not be able to report to their superiors.

Madam Qin San did not hesitate at all. When she heard the question, she answered without hesitation: "Because when I went to the palace to attend the wedding banquet before, I had some disagreements with the princess of the Wei family... The princess is a difficult person to get along with. I talked to her a few times but she ignored me and gave me a cold look. She embarrassed me in public. I was resentful in my heart. When I saw that she was in trouble, I wanted to watch the show, so I went..."

In fact, after saying this, her reputation of being sarcastic and gloating would definitely spread. In addition, she was imprisoned because of this matter. In the future, she would become a laughing stock among the noble ladies in the capital. But it didn't matter. People would compare and weigh the pros and cons. Compared with losing her life, losing face was not such a big or intolerable thing.

Su Jia was a little speechless. After watching the document record the matter truthfully, she coughed a few times and asked again, "Is it for this?" Women are really troublesome. Why do they have to be so picky about everything? It is human nature to be happy when seeing others in trouble, but it is a bit too much to go to their house and laugh at them. Isn't this just looking for trouble

Madam Qin San nodded her head rapidly: "That's it. I didn't expect that Madam Wei would be so impatient. After listening to me, she even wanted to enter the palace..."

Su Jia shook her head and asked again: "You know nothing about what happened after that? Do you know Liu Cheng?"

Mrs. Qin San was really confused and shook her head blankly: "What Liu Cheng? I haven't heard of him..."

It seemed that she really didn't know anything. Su Jia asked for a while, and seeing that she really knew nothing, he sorted out the evidence and handed it over. Fortunately, the Jinyiwei had a direct report to the emperor, and reported it directly to King Linjiang, so there was no need to go back and forth in the middle. After hearing his reply, King Linjiang smiled gloomily.

Don't know? But Old Lady Wei clearly said that Madam Qin San tried every means to get her into the palace. If she said that Madam Qin San knew nothing, King Linjiang would not believe it. His anger and embarrassment of being plotted against became more and more intense. He sneered and ordered Su Jia: "Torture her. I want to hear the truth."

Su Jia's heart skipped a beat. The Qin family had always been very respected by King Linjiang. Everyone knew that King Linjiang respected Old Master Qin very much, because Old Master Qin and Old Lady Qin were indeed very good to King Linjiang, almost treating him like their own son, giving him whatever he wanted, almost never withholding anything. For King Linjiang, the Qin family even lost two sons... ...

Now, Prince Linjiang knew clearly that he had not gotten anything out of the interrogation of the Third Madam, yet he still asked the Jinyiwei to torture the Third Madam Qin. This was a direct way of not giving the Qin family any face, and even showed his suspicion of the Qin family.

He could not help but shudder. After knowing that King Linjiang was extremely angry this time, he dared not say anything else and turned around to torture Madam Qin San. After all, he was brought up by Ying Kai. If he offended anyone, he would not be too miserable with Young Master Lin to support him. What was he afraid of? (To be continued)
