Spring Secrets

Chapter 258: Fifty-eight. Secret investigation

Views:

If you say there is nothing fishy here, she would never believe it even if you beat her to death.

Moreover, after that incident, she, who was experienced, immediately sensed something was wrong - Princess Changning's furious performance had left a deep impression on her.

That's clearly the kind of frustration that comes from someone trying to steal a chicken but ended up losing a handful of rice.

She later found out that something seemed to have happened in the Zhennan Palace. After bribing the servants of the Zhennan Palace, she heard that the Zhennan Princess seemed to be having a very unpleasant quarrel with the Changning Princess.

If this is the case, it can explain several problems.

Because the Princess of Chu knew very clearly why she was able to return to the capital.

That was the work of Princess Changning.

Combined with her previous understanding of Princess Changning, Princess Chu was able to piece together a rough outline of what happened - after so many years, Princess Changning still only had these old tricks to frame people.

It's simply that he feels that Zhuang Feng is now useless, so he and Princess Zhennan secretly plan to give their unfavored daughter to Zhuang Feng, and they may even have discussed how to take a concubine for Zhuang Feng in the future.

The Princess of Chu curled her lips and found it unbelievable.

This is truly a bizarre story. How could Princess Changning hate her own daughter so much

As far as she knew, Wei An and Wei Yulong were both Princess Changning's biological daughters. Even if Princess Changning didn't like Wei An, she wouldn't treat this daughter badly, right

But it has been confirmed that Zhuang Feng can no longer be the crown prince.

What's worse is that Zhuang Feng is disabled and he doesn't even have any hope for the future - the Prince of Zhennan himself is only an adopted son and doesn't get much of the family property, not to mention that he has so many children.

Princess Chu shook her head, put aside these complicated thoughts, and instructed Ding Xiang: "Call... call Zhang Wei."

Zhang Wei was the chief guard of the King of Chu and was highly valued. Ding Xiang was startled when she heard that he was being called. She hesitantly called out, "Your Majesty..."

Princess Chu made up her mind: "No need to say more, go ahead, I have something to tell him."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Forget it, just call Zhang Ba, it will be the same."

Zhang Ba is Zhang Wei's younger brother. Ever since he lost his hand in an accident, he has been working as an accountant at home. The Princess of Chu values him very much and assigns many tasks to him.

He was a very suitable person in terms of identity, and he had a gentle face, looking very harmless. Dingxiang quickly responded and went out to call for help.

Princess Chu then quietly ordered him: "No matter what the cost, you must find the person. I have an important role to play for you."

No matter what the reason was for Princess Changning to plot against her own daughter, there must be something worth exploring here.

Maybe it will be useful

Although the Wei family has now fallen into a trap, the affairs of a shopkeeper will certainly not completely bring down the Wei family. The Wei family still has Wei Yangqing, and Old Lady Wei is not dead yet, and there is a trend that she and Emperor Longqing have forgiven each other.

If she could help the King of Chu with this big favor, the mistakes made by the Huang family in the past might be written off.

The Wei family that she had targeted was actually quite well organized.

Because although the Jinyiwei surrounded the mansion, they only surrounded the mansion and did not harm anyone.

After the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice personally led people here several times, they came less and less frequently.

The Second Madam stood under the eaves and looked outside. She was not affected at all. Instead, she smiled more than before. She watched the children playing in the flower garden and was busy asking the maids and nurses to follow closely. When the Third Madam came over, she said with embarrassment: "Third sister-in-law, I am sorry to make you worry about the situation now."

The second wife's daughter who had married out came back. Her husband had no property in the capital, so it was a bit troublesome for her to live outside. So Old Lady Wei simply asked them to live in the mansion.

The third wife arranged a separate courtyard for them and took the trouble to arrange it. She was very thoughtful and the second wife was very grateful.

The Third Madam smiled and shook her head: "What's the big deal? We are all family, Second Sister-in-law, please don't say such polite words."

He walked side by side with the second wife and talked about trivial matters at home: "But speaking of it, there are a group of Jinyiwei with embroidered spring swords standing outside, which really makes people feel uncomfortable. It seems that Qingming Festival is coming soon."

"That's right." The second wife answered, and then sighed: "I don't know when they will leave. Although I know it's okay, they are crowded at the door. What's going on?"

At this time, no one knew when he would leave, and the very scary Young Master Lin had just left the Wei family's house and went to the Qin family's mansion.

Young Master Lin is a very good person, so even though he doesn't get any support from the Qinghe Marquis's Mansion and is just a bastard of a lowly family, he can still thrive, and even now the Qinghe Marquis and his wife have to look at his face.

Therefore, he has always been very good at reading the wind direction.

Qin Sheng entertained him in the flower hall, personally poured him a cup of tea, and said to him gently, "Third Young Master, thank you for your trouble this time."

Young Master Lin still had a cold face, neither too friendly nor too cold. He shook his head and said, "So far, the evidence we have is not enough to do anything to the Wei family themselves. If the Wei family puts forward a scapegoat, the matter will be over."

This was obviously within Qin Sheng's expectations. He hummed, and the ring on his hand sparkled in the sunlight. After a moment, he smiled and said, "No hurry."

There is no rush for all this, he just wants to teach the Wei family a lesson first.

Just like during the Chinese New Year, if you want the chickens to die more slowly, you don't have to cut their throats completely. They will twitch on the ground, or even still be able to jump up and live for a long time.

Waiting for death in such pain and anxiety is the real painful thing.

He felt that any form of torture was too light for those who had hurt his family.

"Do you have other plans?" Young Master Lin took a sip of tea and said, "But the situation of the Wei family is very good now..."

"Take your time." Qin Sheng shook his head leisurely: "The easier it is for them to get over this, the worse the outcome will be. I am not the only one who has to deal with them."

He laughed and asked Young Master Lin again: "By the way, how is the Fang family's case going?"

Young Master Lin immediately realized his plan: "There will probably be news tomorrow, and it probably won't be good."

The Fang family's deeds were so terrible that Fang Zhengrong killed not just one or two people, but also a successful scholar. This had already aroused public outrage.

According to his sister Concubine Shu, even Empress Fang failed to change Emperor Longqing's mind this time. This time, Emperor Longqing was determined to teach the Fang family a lesson.
