The world is so wild, I want to go to Kang Kang

Chapter 100: Concubine Sister (17)

The second prince also came to Zhaoning Palace several times.

He looked much better than the Crown Prince, and did not feel that the Queen's appearance was threatening.

This time he came, he also brought some tonic medicine that the Grand Tutor had sent back from the old doctor in Qiongzhou.

There was also a letter along with it.

"Mother, what did the tutor write for you?" He looked at the cover and saw no words on it, and he didn't know what it was about, but it was thick and it felt like there was a lot of words written on it.

He didn't know if it was because of the mother-son bond, but he always felt that there was some kind of unclear relationship between his mother and the Grand Tutor.

And the poems that Taifu wrote every year to celebrate his birthday were so unbearable and exaggerated that even his son was embarrassed to listen to them.

Shi Yue didn't avoid him, but he didn't speak to explain. He just opened the letter in front of him.

No wonder it’s so thick, there are actually several more letters inside.

The cover was written with "Personally written by the Imperial Concubine" in beautiful handwriting, and it was obvious that it was not his teacher's handwriting.

Oh, he looked away, thinking that he had discovered some gossip.

Shi Yue read the contents and found that they were all topics that Wen Lai wrote to her to entertain her.

Maybe he was worried that she would be bored while recuperating, so he wrote this to make her happy.

"Wen Lai wrote this to you?" The second prince thought of someone immediately after taking a look, but he didn't understand why she wrote a letter to his mother.

Shi Yue nodded and said, "Lailaila will be working as a court lady in the palace next year, so I came to let you know."

"Were you familiar with her?"

Why does the prince favor her and her mother also pays more attention to her?

"What a smart girl! I like her very much, isn't it okay?" Shi Yue really wanted to tell him the truth, but he didn't know where to start. After all, there were too many things involved.

"Then do you know if the prince likes her?" the second prince asked tentatively.

Shi Yue was really impressed by them. Each of them knew much more than she did, except that she was kept out of the loop.

"Yes, but I want to know why you know it too."

It's impossible that a child like him, whose hair hasn't even grown out yet, could have seen anything.

"The prince and I were from the same school, but he often went to the Grand Tutor's Mansion. I was naturally curious about what he was doing there, and then I found out."

Well, I really discovered it myself.

"But don't worry, the Grand Tutor won't ask the prince to be his son-in-law."

I know, you don't have to tell me.

She secretly complained in her heart, always feeling that her youngest son talked too much today.

"Mom," he rarely looked so hesitant, which made her wonder if something difficult had happened.

I haven't had time to take care of him recently. Is he in trouble?

"Don't worry about what others say. Your son is standing well, and no one dares to look down on you."

He didn't want to sound so serious, after all, it really didn't affect them at all. But he felt that women's thoughts might be different from those of men like them?

After seeing the letter written by the Grand Tutor's daughter, she was obviously much happier.

Then could he say a few nice words and ask his mother to experience the intimacy of the little cloak?

Shi Yue's heart was as excited as fireworks. He felt his son's rough love and was a little moved.

With a son like this in my life, what else could I ask for?

However, before the storm here has settled, another one arises over there.

Wenyuan Hou Mu Ruiping was sued by his nephew's husband for murdering his brother and abusing his niece, and his origins were not legitimate.

The case was originally handed over to the Dali Temple for handling. However, during the investigation, it was discovered that the Dali Temple Minister was a descendant of the Queen's natal family, Qian's collateral branch. Considering the relationship between the Crown Prince and Wenyuan Hou, he deliberately shielded him and hid the evidence.

This ultimately led to the plaintiff vying to death in a desperate struggle, vowing to fight the case to the end.

In front of the people in the city, he ran headfirst into the gate of the Dali Temple.

Fortunately, the patient was treated in time and was saved.

However, this matter was spread by the common people at the scene and eventually reached the imperial court.

Early in the morning, memorials impeaching Marquis Wenyuan piled up high on the emperor's desk.

The emperor was furious and immediately dismissed the Chief Justice from his post, transferred an official from the Ministry of Justice to take up the post and thoroughly investigate the case of Marquis Wenyuan.

It doesn't matter if you don't check, but you will be shocked if you check.

The account book in Wenyuan Marquis's mansion is very strange, with unknown expenditures appearing regularly. This is not harmonious for the Mu Marquis's mansion, which is known for its diligence and thrift.

All those who entered the mansion to search were surprised at Marquis Wenyuan's integrity and frugality when they saw the interior layout of the mansion.

The mansion was simply decorated, without even any gold, silver, jewelry, jade or other ornaments on the surface. It was only decorated with calligraphy and paintings, all of which were written by him.

They were dressed simply, and even the future Crown Princess did not wear any extra ornaments, but only wore brighter clothes.

There were not many maids and servants, but just enough.

It is really curious that such a huge marquisate is so poor, yet it always spends a sum of money.

When I asked his family, no one knew.

He started by investigating every detail of Mu Ruiping's life, and actually made some discoveries.

He never ate at home in the evening. When his family asked him about it, he said he had already eaten outside.

His family was living in poverty, but he was eating and drinking lavishly outside? His wife was dissatisfied at first, so she sent someone to follow him.

It was discovered that he did not go to restaurants to have fun, but went to a food shop to eat wontons, and only ate wontons every day.

This level of love is simply outrageous. I go there every day for nearly ten years.

People in the Ministry of Justice thought that the situation was unusual and unreasonable.

He then listened to the confession of the Marquis' wife and found the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant was the famous wonton beauty, who had attracted many men because of her beauty and diligence in the early years.

In recent years, he gradually became less concerned about making a living. He opened the shop very late every day and closed it early.

Business is naturally not as good as before, but Wonton Xishi is becoming more and more glamorous and has no worries about food and drink.

The Ministry of Justice arrested her and interrogated her, but they tried every possible means but still could not find any clues. This woman was very tough and did not reveal any faults of Wen Yuanhou.

With an attitude of giving it a try, someone from the Ministry of Justice suggested revealing the news that the woman had been captured to Mu Ruiping, and saying that she had confessed, to see how Wenyuan Hou would react.

Who would have thought that this Wenyuan Hou was usually the most upright and law-abiding person, and that he was a man of many words and deeds. Who would have thought that he was actually a hypocritical, cowardly villain who confessed everything without being asked.

He didn't know how much Wonton Xishi had confessed, so he told it all.

Even the person taking the note couldn't help but frown, unable to bear it.

This old man was an official in the Ministry of Revenue. Not only did he embezzle money, he also accepted countless bribes. He never brought the money home, but instead kept it in the home of his mistress, that is, Wonton Xishi.

It is true that a cunning rabbit has three burrows.

It's a pity that his family not only didn't enjoy any happiness but also had to be dragged down by him.

The accusation of his nephew's husband was also true. In order to inherit the title of the Marquis, he poisoned his elder brother but did not treat his only daughter well.

Later, he and the Marquis's wife had only one daughter, and in order to avoid being childless and to avoid being criticized, he did not take a concubine but instead took a mistress, who gave birth to a son.

The case was exposed to the world, and everyone should have celebrated the removal of a corrupt official. But the people ended up implicating the prince.

Mu Ruiping borrowed the power of the crown prince to deceive his superiors and bully his subordinates, and also took advantage of the crown prince's status as his quasi-father-in-law to become extremely corrupt.

The call to depose the crown prince rose up overnight.
