Shuntianfu, Shuntianfu again!
Mr. Peng and Mrs. Peng looked at each other, and bad memories suddenly came to their minds. They frowned in disgust.
But then the first lady remembered that the second lady had already entered Shuntian Prefecture and nothing would happen anymore, so she quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
The eldest master was the same. He didn't want to see the people from Shuntian Prefecture, so he told the butler: "Send them some tea and snacks, and then send them away."
He no longer wanted to receive guests in person.
The housekeeper did not agree. He looked up at them, his hands trembling, but he still did not move. He shook his head and said, "Master and Madam, Magistrate Wang said that he is here to ask the Madam to come over..."
Master Peng instantly flew into a rage.
What on earth is going on in Shuntianfu? !
He walked out of the door in a few steps and strode to the front hall. When he saw Wang Tuiguan's smiling face, he asked solemnly: "What's going on? What does Lord Wang think of our Peng family? He keeps provoking us and causing trouble..."
This anger seemed quite scary, but Wang Tuiguan was not afraid at all. He shook his head and took a step back: "Your Excellency is really too kind. It is my duty and I dare not not come... I dare not not come..."
As he spoke, he stated his purpose without waiting for Master Peng to speak: "Today, the court is open. The Second Madam... She pleaded for herself, saying that she was not involved in the case of Mrs. Tao's poisoning and death, saying that..."
Master Peng's right eyelid twitched heavily, and he asked solemnly, "What did you say?!"
Not really. The second son’s wife has always been clear-headed.
Could it be that the second brother didn't explain it to her clearly? !
What could be more important in this family than family reputation
Wang Tuiguan smiled and said, "The Second Madam said that what Changgui confessed before was true. It was indeed the Sixth Master who wrote a letter to the First Madam, asking her to help him kill the witnesses and kill Tao to eliminate future troubles. The First Madam did read the letter and took action..."
Mr. Peng was struck by lightning and was unable to react for a moment.
What?!
The second son's wife actually said that?! Is she crazy?!
Really... ..
This is totally false!
What little Tao? The one who hanged herself was actually Qinghe, the handle that the Peng family was going to use to threaten the Wei family!
And no one knew where that big Tao came from.
All of this is fake. The Wei family deliberately used Qinghe to stab them in the back.
The Second Madam should know this very clearly.
How could she admit this
Is this crazy?!
Where does this put the Peng family? !
Wang Tuiguan was somewhat embarrassed and sighed hesitantly: "Second Madam's words are so shocking, our prefect is really in a difficult position. And today, Cao Yuanwailang is outside to attend the trial. Our prefect..."
This means that people from the Ministry of Personnel were also present and intervened, and this case is no longer something the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture can intervene in.
The second lady is such an idiot!
Master Peng wanted to jump up and strangle her to death if she were in front of him now.
He felt a little dizzy and almost fell down. He managed to calm himself down and hold on to the table next to him so that he could stand steadily without revealing anything.
Wang Tuiguan looked at his expression and said, "Since the Second Madam said so, we have no choice but to ask the First Madam to come over. Please be flexible and give each other convenience."
This convenience has to be given even if you don’t want to.
It is no longer possible to use both soft and hard tactics to force Wang Tuiguan to back down as he did last time, and then find a second wife to be a scapegoat.
In fact, every time they thought of a method, it seemed feasible at the beginning, but in the end, it all failed to work and something went wrong, which made him feel a little cold.
It felt as if every thought in their minds had been seen through, and that traps had been set for these thoughts, waiting for them to step into them, resulting in one false alarm after another.
This feeling was so creepy that he quickly shook his head.
No, no.
How could that be
Maybe the second wife is just unwilling to accept it.
It must be that the previous conflicts with the first lady have not been completely resolved, so the second lady is resentful and said this on purpose.
But it was also their own fault. They were too hasty and trusted the second son too much in his ability to control his wife.
He took a deep breath, met Wang Tuiguan's inquiring eyes, and nodded with a forced smile: "If that's the case, then I'll go tell my wife."
At this point, we can only take one step at a time.
He forced himself to go into the backyard and tell the first lady.
But the first lady couldn't calm down at all. She asked back subconsciously, and then she heard Master Peng say that the second lady had changed her mind and asked her to go to Shuntian Prefecture.
Her eyes widened, she couldn't believe what she heard.
Then he couldn't help crying.
She didn't want to go to that damn place called Shuntian Prefecture.
At first, it was Peng Caichen who went in. She thought her son would come out soon, but her son has not come out yet, and she has been implicated as well.
Later, the second wife went in.
This time everyone had agreed that there would be no more mistakes, so the case was closed.
But now there is another twist.
This case is simply a bottomless pit, with its bloody mouth wide open, waiting for the Peng family to fill it in one by one.
She cried and shook her head: "I won't go! I won't go!"
Once she goes in, she can’t come out. She doesn’t want to go!
Master Peng yelled at her in annoyance, and when she calmed down, he said seriously: "You can't just not go if you want to. The second son's wife went back on her word, and things are a bit troublesome..."
Unfortunately, the Wei family set up this trap too perfectly, fabricating an identity of the Tao family for Qinghe, but there really was such a person. The Tao family had been away doing business and had recently moved back to the capital, so very few people knew them, and it was impossible to obtain evidence.
He hardened his heart and made up his mind, looking at the eldest lady: "There is no other way. Think about Caichen, think about Awei and the others, you have to have an idea in your mind."
Mrs. Peng knew that the matter could not be resolved by just crying, making a fuss, or even hanging herself.
She couldn't tell what she felt at the moment. She glanced at Master Peng and slowly stood up.
Master Peng turned his back and didn't look at her. He felt resentful in his heart - who wouldn't be upset to see a good family come to this point
And all this has been going on until now, and Mr. Peng somehow wants to put the blame on Mrs. Peng -- if she hadn't written that extra letter, causing the Zou family to suffer, then there wouldn't be so many people who would believe what happened afterwards... ...
Now the family is not a family, even the Empress Defei has personally issued an imperial decree to reprimand him, and his request to see Linjiang Wang Yu's concubine was also rejected... ...
