The woman, her face still streaked with tears, grabbed Xie Xuan's robe and cried out, "Your Highness, my daughter is innocent! For the sake of their family's interests, they want to reconcile with that murderer! They even slander my daughter, saying she's immoral, disobedient, and unchaste... My daughter is the most obedient and sensible girl. How could they do this?"

"Your Highness, only you can help me! You can definitely get justice for my daughter, right? You can definitely make those who killed my daughter pay with their blood, right?"

"I beg you! Your Highness Prince Xuan, I beg you!"

The woman's voice was heart-wrenching, clearly indicating extreme pain.

After listening to the middle-aged woman's words, Yun Chuwei understood that the person in front of her was one of the three mothers who had lost their daughters.

Clearly, this is a mother who is unwilling to compromise; she wants to seek justice for her daughter.

That's why they sought help from Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan bent down to help the middle-aged woman up, and said, "Madam, please don't do this. This matter..."

He wanted to say that he was powerless to help, but the words wouldn't come out.

He was the emperor's son, a prince of this dynasty.

If even he says he's powerless, what about everyone else? What about ordinary people?

After a moment, he said, "I will do my best, but now that the case has been dropped, I'm afraid it won't be easy..."

Before Xie Xuan could finish speaking, a group of servants and guards appeared around him.

They surrounded the three of them.

The one in the lead appears to be the butler.

After leading everyone in bowing to Xie Xuan, he spoke, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, our lady has suffered a great shock due to the death of her daughter and is now delirious, speaking incoherently. If she has offended Your Highness, I apologize and beg Your Highness's forgiveness."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman released her grip on Xie Xuan's sleeve.

She took two steps back and laughed.

She looked at Xie Xuan and said, "Your Highness, I know this isn't your fault! It's my fault! It's my fault for being so incompetent! I couldn't protect my daughter, I couldn't get justice for her. I couldn't even decide whether I was sensible or not! They needed me to be sensible; even if I were sensible, I would become sensible!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly.

The steward hurriedly said, "Madam is talking nonsense again! Take her back quickly and find a doctor to examine her!"

Upon hearing this, several servants prepared to step forward and seize the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman gave a bitter smile and rushed towards a nearby pillar before the servants could catch her.

Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan flashed over almost simultaneously and grabbed the woman.

After being pulled away, the woman cried out, "Don't stop me! Let me go find my daughter! She's been afraid of water and the dark since she was little. How terrified she will be if I'm not by her side!"

At the same time, the servants ran over, trying to grab the woman.

Yun Chuwei swept her cold gaze over the servants and uttered a single word indifferently: "Get out!"

The servants sensed the killing intent emanating from Yun Chuwei and took a few steps back.

Yun Chu bent down slightly and approached the middle-aged woman.

She reached out and tidied the woman's hair, saying slowly, "If you leave, who will watch over your daughter and ensure her enemy suffers the consequences she deserves?"

The woman was taken aback. She looked at Yun Chuwei and asked, "Will that day ever come?"

She dreamed of seeing that person die.

But she also felt that that day would never come again.

Yun Chuwei's expression was serious: "It will happen! It definitely will! Water overflows when it's full, and the moon wanes after it's full. Even if your daughter's matter is put on hold for now, there are other things that can make him pay the price. But you need to give His Highness Prince Xuan time. When he sends that person to the execution ground, that will be the time for you to avenge your daughter!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman looked at Xie Xuan and asked, "Your Highness, is that truly the case?"

Xie Xuan nodded seriously.

The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up; she suddenly felt that life was full of hope again.

She stopped struggling and knelt down, kowtowing to Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan.

She said earnestly, "I will live well and wait to see that day!"

After saying that, she stood up, took a deep look at Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan, and then turned and walked towards the butler.

-

On the way back to the Marquis's residence, Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan remained silent.

Yun Chuwei kept recalling the matter concerning Yue Jingsheng that Empress Wang had asked her to handle in her previous life.

Yue Jingsheng had committed quite a few crimes, but the ones she handled were not particularly serious.

To bring Yue Jing to his death, we must find a crime he cannot escape.

However, the crimes that could cost Yue Jing his life were all handled personally by Empress Wang.

She didn't know.

However, on one occasion, Empress Wang had an argument with Yue Jingsheng's mother.

The two had a pretty big argument that time because of Yue Jingsheng. They both seemed to be blaming each other.

How was that matter resolved in the end?

It seems that the Yue family raised a lot of money, treated Yue Jingsheng's superior to a meal, and gave him many gifts.

Later, Yue Jingsheng seemed to have changed jobs.

What was Yue Jingsheng's position during that period?

It seems to be a lucrative post for transporting grain and fodder for the Ministry of War.

Yun Chu raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the reason for the defeat in the Northwest campaign during that period was due to the lack of supplies.

The delay in supplying provisions was attributed to weather conditions.

Now it seems that it's more than that.

If that defeat was related to Yue Jingsheng, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't save him.

Yun Chuwei thought for a moment and looked at Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan met Yun Chuwei's bright eyes and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

What is Yue Jingsheng's current position?

Xie Xuan thought for a moment and said, "The Ministry of War is responsible for provisions and military expenses!"

Yun Chuwei nodded slightly; that matched up.

"An army marches on its stomach. This shows how important supplies are. Can someone like Yue Jingsheng, who is in charge of supplies and military funds, really be trusted? If he were to embezzle military funds or delay supplies, wouldn't that endanger the soldiers on the front lines?"

There are some things that Yun Chuwei can't say too obviously.

After all, she wasn't sure whether Yue Jingsheng had actually misappropriated military funds and supplies.

Upon hearing Yun Chuwei's words, Xie Xuan also recalled the defeat in the northern war in his previous life.

He frowned slightly and said, "The Ministry of War is under the control of the Crown Prince's faction. If the Crown Prince wants to assign Yue Jingsheng a position, no one can say anything."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Then why don't you keep an eye on him? If he makes a mistake, you can find a way to have your people fill in. Maybe you can even use this to help that lady achieve her wish!"
