When Tang Cheng and Wen Huaian came back, the Zhenguo Mansion was brightly lit. The Zhenguo Duke was alarmed by the fact that Tang Cheng was attacked at the Lantern Festival.
The Duke of Zhenguo personally interrogated the captured people and finally pried open their mouths. After following the clues...
The mastermind behind the scenes was exposed.
The Duke of Zhenguo was furious. He obviously did not expect that his concubine, Aunt Chen, would be so bold as to attack Tang Si. He immediately ordered people to lock Aunt Chen up.
As soon as Tang Cheng came back, he learned that the mastermind behind the incident had been found, and it was also confirmed that the powders were indeed highly poisonous. He was stunned for a moment.
Isn’t this speed too fast
"Who is the mastermind behind this?" Tang Cheng couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's Aunt Chen!" Lady Min, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, said with a cold face.
Who would have thought that the person who would be so cruel to Tang Cheng would be Aunt Chen, who had no grudge against Tang Cheng.
Wen Huaian's handsome face darkened.
“It’s her!”
He thought it would be the Queen Mother who hated Tang Cheng or someone from the Cheng'en Mansion...
Unexpectedly, the person who attacked Tang Tang was actually his father’s aunt in the backyard!
Tang Cheng was stunned.
"I have no grudge against Aunt Chen, what good would it do for her to go after me?"
The Duke's wife sneered, "She is too careless, blinded by greed. She doesn't even think about the fact that even if you are gone, there is still Dabao. There is no need to adopt her sister's grandson."
Tang Cheng's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
"Is Aunt Chen out of her mind?"
"But Aunt Chen doesn't look like a fool. I always feel that there must be other reasons."
"Do you want to re-examine it?"
Tang Cheng’s intuition is very accurate.
The Duke of Zhenguo, who had a dark face, suddenly said, "What Tang Si said makes sense. We can re-examine the case."
Tang Cheng was very happy.
Wen Huaian: “…”
Father really spoils Tang Tang.
"By the way, how should we deal with Aunt Chen?" Tang Cheng was quite concerned about this matter.
The Duke of Zhenguo said expressionlessly: "After the interrogation, he will be sent to the government and exiled to the bitter cold land of the northwest."
If it weren't for the child in Tang Si's belly, the Duke of Zhenguo would have killed the audacious concubine Chen with a three-foot-long white silk cloth.
Tang Cheng was very satisfied with the outcome.
At this time, the palace physician arrived.
"Quickly take the young lady's pulse!" The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo hurriedly urged when she saw the court doctor coming in.
A hint of worry flashed across the Duke Zhenguo's eyes.
Facing the worried and concerned eyes of his parents-in-law, Tang Cheng smiled and waved his hands: "Parents-in-law, don't worry, I'm fine, and the baby in my belly is also fine. Those who attacked me were kicked away by me one by one. They were very weak. However, the poison they used must be very powerful, but God is not on their side."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Wen Huaian."
It seemed that God didn't help them. She and Wen Huaian wore cloaks and masks when they went out, and the poisonous powder sprinkled on them was blocked by the cloaks and masks.
Under normal circumstances, they might have succeeded.
What a pity, it’s the time and the fate.
Duke Zhenguo: “…”
The Duke’s wife: “…”
The court doctor was shocked.
Wen Huaian held his forehead with his hand. In fact, Tang Tang’s health was so good, it should be the credit of the strengthening potion.
"Tang Tang, let the court doctor take your pulse, so that father and mother won't worry."
Tang Cheng listened to Wen Huaian.
"All right."
The court physician carefully felt Tang Cheng's pulse and confirmed that she was in good health and the fetus in her belly was also healthy and had not suffered any miscarriage. He then truthfully informed the Duke and his wife of Tang Cheng's condition.
The Duke of Zhenguo and his wife both breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm glad you're okay.
The Duke of Zhenguo was amazed at Tang Si's physique, thinking that his son had really found a treasure.
After giving some instructions and showing some concern, the two of them let him go back to the yard to rest early.
All the servants in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were shocked when they heard that Aunt Chen was imprisoned. After learning the truth, they all gasped.
I didn’t expect that the gentle Aunt Chen could be so vicious!
It’s true that you can’t judge a book by its cover.
Tang Cheng and Wen Huaian returned to Wutong Courtyard. After taking a bath and washing up, they went next door to see Dabao who was already fast asleep. Wen Huaian noticed that there were several more breaths in the dark. It seemed that his father was afraid that something might happen to Dabao, so he specially sent more people to protect him.
Wen Huaian was completely relieved.
After seeing Dabao, Tang Cheng and Wen Huaian returned to the warm room and got on the kang bed.
"Wen Huaian, I initially thought that my father-in-law would send Aunt Chen who committed the crime to the family temple to worship Buddha, but I didn't expect that he would send her to the government to be exiled to the bitter and cold northwest." Tang Cheng smiled happily.
Wen Huaian gently embraced Tang Cheng.
"Mrs. Chen is not qualified to enter the family temple. Even if she is, neither my father nor I will allow her to enter the family temple to worship Buddha."
"Tang Tang, going to the family temple to worship Buddha may seem like a heavy punishment, but in fact, a married daughter can still take a look at her child when she returns to her parents' home. Aunt Chen is so cruel, exiling her to the bitter cold northwest is still too light a punishment. If she hadn't been trying to accumulate merit for our child, she should have been killed with a three-foot white silk."
Wen Huaian felt that it would be better to let Aunt Chen die than to torture her, so that everything would be resolved once and for all without any future troubles.
Tang Cheng was surprised.
I didn’t realize Wen Huaian is such a ruthless person!
She likes Wen Huaian like this.
"Mrs. Chen won't cause any trouble in the future, but we still have to be careful of her daughter Wen Ya. For Dabao's safety, let her not come back to her parents' home unless it's something serious."
Who knows if Wen Ya will hold a grudge against her? Tang Cheng likes to plan ahead.
Wen Huaian raised his hand and rubbed her head.
"good."
Even if Tang Cheng didn't mention it, he would have done so.
After watching the excitement all night, Tang Cheng felt a little sleepy. He couldn't help yawning several times, and soon fell asleep while hugging Wen Huaian.
Wen Huaian turned his head to glance at Tang Cheng who fell asleep so quickly, smiled, gently kissed her eyebrows, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
That night, the upper circles in the capital all knew that Tang Cheng had been attacked at the Lantern Festival. They had different thoughts and reactions, and they all speculated about who was the mastermind behind the attack, but they all thought that it was the Queen Mother who did it.
At the same time, Tang Cheng's toughness and her brutal hobby of kicking people into the water once again won people's hearts.
Some noble ladies who were in love with Prince Wen and were determined to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion gave up their thoughts.
Tang Cheng didn't know that his violent kick had shattered Wen Huaian's peach blossoms into pieces.
Ci'an Palace
The empress dowager, who had not yet fallen asleep and was waiting for good news, frowned and cursed when she learned that Aunt Chen's people had failed in their attack on Tang Si.
"A bunch of rubbish!"
Nanny Li was also in a bad mood.
Tang Si's luck was too good, and Nanny Li was secretly jealous.
As early as the Empress Dowager's people discovered Aunt Chen's secret actions, they took advantage of the situation, but Aunt Chen was so useless that she lost a great opportunity to deal with Tang Si in vain.
"Queen Mother, there is still a long time to come. We will find a chance to get rid of Tang Si."
The Queen Mother quickly calmed down after hearing this.
Yes, there is a long time to come, and there is no rush to deal with Tang Si. The most important thing now is to let the daughter of the Chen family marry into the royal family and give birth to a prince of the Chen family's bloodline.
As for the deposed queen who only gave birth to a princess, she had long been forgotten by the empress dowager.
The next day, on the 16th day of the first lunar month, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion sent Aunt Chen to the government for conviction with great fanfare, causing an uproar in the capital.
No one expected that the person who was so cruel to Miss Tang Si was actually a concubine in the backyard of the Duke of Zhenguo!
Everyone was shocked.
While people outside were talking about the vicious concubine Chen, Tang Cheng in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion was worried about another thing.
When she went to the main courtyard to have breakfast this morning, she specifically asked the Duke of Zhenguo about the result of the second interrogation of Aunt Chen. The Duke of Zhenguo had a gloomy face and remained silent, while the Duke of Zhenguo's wife smiled with gloating attitude without saying a word.
Tang Cheng felt weird.
She always felt that they were hiding something from her.
Something incredible must have been unearthed when interrogating Aunt Chen again last night.
It’s a pity that Wen Huaian didn’t know either, otherwise she could ask him secretly.
