After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she opened the wooden box, inside which were two thousand taels of silver notes and several large, round, and extremely rare pearls.
"You people certainly don't lack money, it's just a pity you don't use it for good." After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she gently stretched out her hand, and the wooden box floated up and went directly to Zhang Rui.
Zhang Rui was completely stunned when he saw someone use such magic for the first time.
"Even if you gave me your entire Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, I wouldn't help you. Justice resides in the hearts of the people. You schemed against others like this, and now you're reaping the consequences. It's all retribution! Since you dared to do such a wicked thing, you should bear the consequences." After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she turned to enter Taoyuan Residence.
Having practiced divination for so long, this was the first time someone had tried to bribe her with money to overturn her predictions.
How could she possibly do something that would damage her own reputation and go against her conscience?
These powerful families are probably used to bribing people with money, believing that there is nothing in the world that money can't solve.
Little did they know that people like them who cultivate the Tao would not care too much about these material possessions unless they were starving.
Just like Ye Xianya now, she is no longer short of money.
Even when she was short of money in Liuhe Town, she did not violate her bottom line and conscience.
"Miss Ye!" Zhang Rui hurriedly ran forward, bowing as he blocked Ye Xianya's path. "It's not what you think, Miss. We did have something to hide from Siyao, but we were forced into it. As the head of the household, even if I had a mistress and a child, Siyao shouldn't be demanding a divorce. As the legal wife, if she doesn't even have this much dignity, she'll be ridiculed. If it weren't for you standing up for her..."
Seeing Ye Xianya's face darken, Zhang Rui immediately dared not continue speaking.
In his excitement, he forgot that this young lady was not a fortune teller; she was the crown prince's daughter, and once the crown prince ascended the throne, she would become a princess.
"Interesting!" Ye Xianya laughed in anger: "This is the first time I've ever seen such a shameless person as you. You were the one who mistreated your wife, used sterilization drugs to make her unable to have children, and even brought the child born to your mistress back to the manor, lying that it was born to a collateral branch of the family. Not only did you want to adopt it as your wife's legitimate son, making her raise your child, but you also neglected and humiliated her. You show no remorse and even blame me..."
As soon as Ye Xianya finished speaking, the onlookers began to whisper among themselves.
"So the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an is actually this kind of person..."
"No wonder his wife invited her family yesterday and demanded a divorce. It turns out they're bullying people like this..."
"To bring back a concubine's child and raise him as the legitimate son is utterly foolish. Who knows if a child born to a concubine is even his own?"
"With such disregard for the rules, the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is likely to face many troubles."
...
Zhang Rui never dreamed that Ye Xianya would reveal everything in public.
"I'm just a fortune teller. Your wife came to my door to have her fortune told, and I only answered her questions. I didn't support her or instigate her to divorce you. Yet you came to make trouble. Since that's the case, then I'll help her out."
After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she carefully examined Zhang Rui's face and began to calculate with her fingers.
“Zhang Rui, the heir of the Marquis of Wu’an, three years ago, when you were serving as the deputy commander of the Divine Vanguard Guard, you failed to perform your duties during the night patrol, which allowed thieves to escape and three people to die tragically in vain. However, you shifted the blame for dereliction of duty onto a colleague whose family background was not as good as yours, causing him to be dismissed and investigated.”
Under Zhang Rui's utterly horrified gaze, Ye Xianya recounted: "After your colleague received thirty strokes of the cane, he was demoted to a remote place. Fearing that he might one day return to the capital to accuse you, you sent the guards of your residence to kill him on his way to his new post and bury him in a secluded mountain valley..."
"You...you're talking nonsense..." Zhang Rui said as he backed away.
He regretted it; he shouldn't have come to find Ye Xianya, and he shouldn't have impulsively questioned her.
Now they've really shot themselves in the foot.
All his secrets were exposed.
"Miss Ye...Miss Ye, I absolutely did not do such a thing, Miss Ye, you must have miscalculated!" Zhang Rui said in a trembling voice.
“The person has been dead for three years. The guards you sent out probably don’t remember where they buried him. After all… they weren’t familiar with that place, and they were so frightened at the time that they buried him and ran away under the cover of darkness. But… it’s enough that I know!”
After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she quickly went inside, wrote a note, and gave it to a servant at Taoyuan Residence.
"Take this note to the Jingzhao government office and give it to Wu Muzhi, the payment officer, to ask if this matter falls under his jurisdiction. If he cannot handle it, then hand it over to someone who can."
Ye Xianya wasn't very familiar with these matters of the imperial court, so she left them to Wu Muzhi for now.
"Yes!" the servant replied and hurried off.
"You murdered your colleague and poisoned your wife. Are those charges enough? If not, I can go back a few years and maybe find some more." Ye Xianya turned to look at Zhang Rui, who was lying on the ground, and laughed.
"Miss Ye, spare me... Miss Ye, spare me!" Zhang Rui kowtowed on the ground, begging for mercy.
Upon seeing this, Yun Siyao, who had already arrived, couldn't help but shed tears.
She heard from her maid that Zhang Rui had taken people to Taoyuan Residence, so she rushed over.
Yun Siyao knew Ye Xianya's identity and also knew that Zhang Rui wouldn't dare to make things difficult for her.
She just wanted to know why Zhang Rui had come to find Ye Xianya.
I never expected him to be so shameless, actually trying to bribe Miss Ye and distort the truth.
Fortunately, Miss Ye not only prevented him from succeeding, but also exposed all the dirty deeds he had done.
This is absolutely gratifying!
She quickly stepped forward and kowtowed deeply to Ye Xianya, saying, "This humble servant thanks Miss Ye for her help."
This bastard committed the crimes of slandering and murdering his colleagues. He will either pay with his life or be exiled. It all depends on how the Ministry of Justice decides his sentence.
Regardless of the outcome, this scumbag's life is completely ruined. With the support of her parents, brothers, and clan elders, she will definitely be able to divorce him.
No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, she is fearless.
As long as I can get away from that bastard Zhang Rui and that filthy place, the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, that's enough.
"Get up quickly!" Ye Xianya reached out and helped Yun Siyao up.
"Thank you so much, Miss Ye, for helping me escape this sea of suffering. I am deeply grateful. When I return, I will set up a longevity tablet for you and burn incense and pray every day, asking Heaven to bless you with a long and healthy life," Yun Siyao said with tears in her eyes.
Without Ye Xianya's help, her divorce would not have been so simple. Not only would it have taken a long time, but she might also have had to endure the torment of those people from the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion.
She had been prepared to fight to the death, but unexpectedly, she got what she wanted.
