Forced to Switch Marriages, I Went from Slum to First-Rank Imperial Matron

In her previous life, Wen Yan married into the Marquis's estate for over a decade. Upwards, she helped her mother-in-law defeat concubines and regain control of the household. Downwards, she he...

Chapter 464: Everyone went in

The two were so angry with each other that they reported each other one after another.

The charges kept piling up, getting bigger and bigger.

The concubine regretted it deeply and although she tried to stop it, it was too late.

When Deng Fuyin heard this, his face twisted.

The chief clerk who was in charge of recording the court trial had to write with his brush in splits before he could keep up with the speed of their attacks.

Lord Wen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and a look of relief appeared on his face.

Wen Yan was curious. Could it be that he had something more important to say?

Wen Yan quickly gestured to Aunt Shuang, asking her not to take any action yet.

Maybe, by operating secretly, she could get out more important information.

Aunt Shuang nodded and quietly left.

The prefect retried the case and, except for the children of the concubine, all the others were thrown into jail.

Jiang Xinkui didn't expect that he would be imprisoned, and he was terrified at the time.

She struggled and begged for mercy.

Suddenly, outside the court, Wen Ruyue was seen in disguise.

She struggled and yelled at Wen Ruyue, "Yue'er, save mother, you must save mother!"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Wen Ruyue, wanting to see what the daughter born to this wicked couple looked like.

Wen Ruyue was horrified and quickly covered her face with her sleeves and fled in a panic.

Jiang Xinkui was shocked and wanted to call her, but she saw Wen Yan in a moment of inattention.

Her lips moved a few times, but she didn't ask for help.

Of course, even if she asked for help, Wen Yan would not care about her.

All prisoners were taken away.

In the end, only the two children of the concubine were not imprisoned.

But he had to return to Wen's house, be guarded by the police, and be brought to trial at any time.

Wen Yan and Pei'er also left.

They were walking to Qingfeng Building when suddenly someone bumped into them.

Pei'er tugged at Wen Yan's clothes and slipped the note into her hand.

Wen Yan unfolded the note and took a look at it. His eyes darkened, and he said to Pei'er, "It seems we're out of paper and pens at home. Let's go to 'A Little Ink' to get some."

Pei'er blinked her eyes. She had just replenished her pens, ink, paper and inkstone three days ago, so there was no shortage of them at all.

The lady made a special trip, it seems it is related to the note.

The two changed direction and soon arrived at "Yidian Mo".

She wanted to perform the whole act, so she asked Su He to prepare some paper and ink for her, and then she went to the backyard.

She waited in the backyard for more than half an hour, and just when she was about to fall asleep, footsteps suddenly came from the backyard.

Wen Yan winked at Pei'er, and Pei'er opened the door and went out.

The next person to come in was a tall and rough-looking Uncle Dahu.

Pei'er nodded to Wen Yan and closed the door.

"Da Hu greets the young lady!" Uncle Da Hu was about to bow when he saw Wen Yan.

Wen Yan quickly stopped him: "I treat you as my uncle. If you continue to do these empty formalities, I will be angry."

Uncle Dahu was carefree and smiled shyly before talking about his recent situation.

"After I lurked beside Manager Cui, he was very wary of me at first and kept asking me to do small errands.

On the surface, Manager Cui looks like a serious businessman.

But I kept a note of the delivery address every time I delivered something.”

Uncle Dahu said this and took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket.

He unfolded the paper in front of Wen Yan and pointed out the areas circled in red, "Look at these areas. On the surface, it's a private restaurant.

The delivery times arranged by Manager Cui are fixed.

Moreover, I deliver goods once a day, but I have never seen the people inside.

I became suspicious and went to stake out the place at night. I found that only men were coming in and out of the place, and they only went there to consume at night.

I guess it's not a private restaurant, but a private brothel.

I felt something was wrong, so I came back to report to you immediately. Is this the place you were looking for?"

Wen Yan thought for a moment, then shook his head and reminded: "Uncle Dahu, don't act rashly.

Shopkeeper Cui hasn't let down his guard against you yet, so I'm afraid he deliberately showed you the private restaurant."

"Fortunately, I didn't fall for it." Uncle Dahu's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he felt scared.

Fortunately, after following the young lady, I think more about things.

Otherwise, based on his temper, he would have rushed out to catch people and was completely exposed.

"Uncle Dahu, you must be careful.

Life is more important. If there is any risk of exposure, remember to tell me in advance."

"Okay!" Uncle Dahu was deeply moved when he saw that Yan really cared about him, and he promised her that he would complete the task.

After Wen Yan gave some more instructions, Uncle Dahu prepared to leave.

Outside the house, Ying Zhilin leaned against the wall, multitasking.

While he intimidated Pearl with his eyes, he listened to most of the conversation in the room.

When she heard that Uncle Dahu was about to leave, Yingzhi Lin made a gesture to Pei'er to ask her to keep her mouth shut.

Pearl nodded mechanically.

Ying Zhilin strode towards the bookstore in front.

After she could no longer see his figure, Pei'er breathed a sigh of relief, still feeling a lingering fear.

Today's son-in-law is so scary.

His eyes were like those of an eagle, as if once you were targeted by him, you would become fish on the chopping board.

Uncle Dahu left the backyard, bought a piece of the cheapest paper in the store, and left.

Ying Zhilin quietly followed Uncle Dahu.

Uncle Dahu was very alert and soon realized that he was being followed.

When passing through a small alley, he turned the tables and attacked Ying Zhilin with the Black Tiger Heart-Ripping Move.

Ying Zhilin stretched out his hand to block and neutralized his move: "Uncle Dahu, it's me."

Uncle Dahu was very shocked: "Uncle, why is it you!"

Ying Zhilin heard Uncle Dahu still calling him son-in-law and explained the divorce. Yan'er did not spread the news, leaving room for maneuver.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

But he immediately concealed his emotions and began to ask Uncle Dahu: "What did Yan'er ask you to investigate?"

Uncle Dahu looked away: "The lady said not to tell anyone else."

"I'm her husband, how could I possibly harm her?

If you keep investigating like this, it will take forever, why don’t you and I cooperate…”

Wen Mi and her brother were sent back to the Wen Mansion.

After the officers arrived at the Wen residence, they first searched the house and then began to interrogate the masters and servants of the Wen family.

"Why are the third young lady Wen Xiuyun and the newly found young master not here?" The officer immediately suspected that the two had received the news in advance and fled with important evidence out of fear of being punished.

The servant quickly replied, "The young master is seriously injured. The head doctor of Dazhao Temple is a master doctor. The third lady has taken the young master to see a doctor."

Having said that, the officers did not relax at all and immediately sent a team of people to Dazhao Temple to capture Wen Xiuyun and his sister.

The remaining officers retreated to various important entrances and exits, completely controlling the entire Wen Mansion.

In the main courtyard, only Wen Zeduan and another illegitimate son were left.

Wen Zeduan glanced at Wen Mi and her brother, then led his illegitimate son away.

Jiang Xinkui's personal nanny is eyeing Wen Mi and her brother covetously.

Wen Mi knew that life would be very difficult if she fell into her hands.

She wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble and take control of the Wen Mansion.
