As she spoke, she gently touched her chin, with a hint of smile in her eyes: "Old Madam, why don't you think about it carefully, do you have any sisters? Maybe it's like the rumors say?"

Old Mrs. Guo’s whole body stiffened.

She also thought that the Chong'an Palace wanted to be on good terms with the Guo family.

But now it seems that Princess Chong'an came to the Guo family for that matter.

But isn’t that doctor an ordinary person?

How could he possibly get to know Princess Chong'an when he had lived in a slum like that in West City for so many years?

Old Mrs. Guo was unsure of what Jiang Yun meant and hesitated to speak.

Until Jiang Yun's voice sounded again.

"Things in this world are often complicated. Sometimes, the truth is often hidden in those seemingly insignificant rumors. What do you think, old lady?"

When Old Lady Guo heard this, her heart sank. She knew very well that Princess Chong'an was no ordinary person. Now that things had come to this point today, even if she avoided answering the question, it would be difficult for her to pass Princess Chong'an's test.

She might as well just admit it.

She looked up at her daughter-in-law and said, "Shu'er, you go back first. I want to talk to Princess Chong'an alone."

Zhao Shu nodded, stood up and walked out.

But after walking for a while, she quietly turned back and hid under the window to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.

It wasn't that she wanted to eavesdrop.

But she also felt that there was something fishy about what the princess said.

The coroner's initial diagnosis was that the death was from sudden cardiac arrest.

But later it turned out that the medicine I took was poisonous...

This is ridiculous!

She didn't believe such a ridiculous explanation.

But her husband said that this is what the coroner's examination showed, and she should believe the evidence in front of her.

Inside the house.

Old Lady Guo took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "It seems that the princess has already found out everything. She came to your house today to question you."

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Ask for punishment? This princess does not have that right. I was just asked by someone to rescue poor Doctor Du from prison."

Old Mrs. Guo narrowed her eyes and looked at Jiang Yun.

"What merits and abilities did Doctor Du have to deserve the princess's concern?"

"He once prescribed several prescriptions for my mother."

"It's just a few prescriptions. Princess, do you want to offend our Guo family for him?" When saying this, Mrs. Guo's expression was terrifyingly sinister.

Jiang Yun curled her lips and smiled, "What? Is Madam Guo threatening this princess?"

Mrs. Guo's expression changed several times, and finally she said with a sad face: "Even if I had a hundred more courage, I would not dare to threaten the princess! But when I recall the past, I can't help feeling a little uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun just picked up the teacup and drank tea without saying anything.

Old Mrs. Guo gritted her teeth and had to continue talking.

"I did wrongly accuse Doctor Du. In fact, the young lady who died was accidentally beaten to death by my worthless nephew. I was protecting my nephew and was afraid that my Guo family's reputation would be damaged if he went to jail, so I...put the blame on the innocent Doctor Du."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun nodded slightly, as if she was not surprised by Mrs. Guo's confession.

She took a sip from the teacup, her eyes deep, "Old Madam, you know that your action not only harmed an innocent person, but also could put the Guo family in an irreparable situation at any time."

When Old Lady Guo heard this, she was shocked and looked flustered: "Princess, I... I know I was wrong. Please show some mercy."

Jiang Yun put down the teacup, looking sternly: "Old Madam, you should understand that everything in this world has its cause and effect. Your nephew has committed a serious mistake and should be punished accordingly. But in order to protect him, you let an innocent person take the blame..."

She paused and continued, "Do you know what is engraved on the stone tablet in front of Shuntian Mansion?"

Old Mrs. Guo blinked her sore eyes, moved her lips, but did not answer.

Jiang Yun said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Fairness and impartiality, one word will bring all people together. Following the law will make everyone equal. No distinction between relatives or strangers, noble or humble, all will be judged according to the law!"

Old Mrs. Guo began to tremble all over, but she still couldn't utter a word.

At this time, Zhao Shu outside the window also understood the whole story.

She felt mixed emotions and was extremely disappointed with both Old Mrs. Guo and her husband.

Zhao Shu still remembers that two years ago, her brother got drunk and accidentally went to the wrong house, and it happened that there was only a widow in that house.

Her brother had only slept in her yard for one night, but the widow accused him of attempted rape...

At that time, she even begged her husband to investigate carefully and found that her brother was definitely not that kind of person.

But what happened later?

Her brother was still thrown into jail, where he suffered untold hardships. He was finally released after serving his sentence, but when he was released, he had gone mad.

At that time, her husband said that he should be fair and just, regardless of relationship.

But now, she finally understood!

Her husband did not discriminate between her relatives, but did so towards his own relatives...

What a great guy who doesn’t distinguish between relatives and strangers! !

Zhao Shu left in tears.

Jiang Yun knew from the beginning that someone was eavesdropping outside, but she was happy for Zhao Shu to hear it.

Because she specifically asked Zhufeng to investigate the Guo family.

Old Mrs. Guo is not friendly to her daughter-in-law Zhao Shu!

Especially the case of Zhao Shu's brother Zhao Kang a few years ago. It was not an attempted rape at all, but a self-directed and self-acted case by the widow...

Zhao Kang was not drunk and went to the wrong place. Instead, he was taken home by the widow as a neighbor after he was drunk.

This matter can be found out if you investigate carefully.

But Guo Qing clearly found out the truth, but he destroyed the evidence and continued to make a mistake, wronging Zhao Kang.

Poor Zhao Kang originally wanted to take part in the imperial examination, but one day he was thrown into prison and tortured to the point of going crazy.

And all these years, Zhao Shu had been kept in the dark by the mother and son, working like a slave for them in the Guo family...

Jiang Yun's goal had been achieved. She stood up and said in a cold tone, "You guys take care of yourself. I have compiled the evidence and handed it over to the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple."

Gong Qi, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, was a man of Prince Chong'an, so Jiang Yun felt relieved to let him handle this matter.

But when Mrs. Guo heard this, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

She never thought that this matter would be discovered and become a sharp arrow to defeat their Guo family.

Jiang Yun opened the door and said to the maid waiting outside: "The old lady has fainted."

After saying that, she raised her foot and left the Guo family.

The maids quickly entered the hall, helped Old Lady Guo to the soft couch in the inner room, and then went to invite Guo Qinghe, a doctor, to come.

As soon as Guo Qing returned home, he hurried to see Old Lady Guo.

At this time, the doctor had stabilized Mrs. Guo's condition and she had woken up, but she was a little lethargic.

Guo Qing looked at the frail old lady Guo on the bed and said with red eyes: "Mother, I'm late! How do you feel now?"

Old Lady Guo reached out and firmly grasped Guo Qing's hand, saying word by word: "Quick, go and release Doctor Du."
