Chapter 242 Ending
Previously, Shen Ji did not allow anyone to visit the old lady in prison, which caused Shen Ti to come to the door. Shen Wan was so angry that he lost his mind and chased Shen Ti away with a broom. This was an insult to the royal dignity and he almost got beaten with a stick.
Queen Song was also forced to severely punish Shen Ti. Shen Ti wanted to see the old lady before being caned. Queen Song had no intention of caning Shen Ti in the first place, so how could she refuse this request?
From that day on, the Ministry of Justice would allow anyone who wanted to visit the old lady.
Of course, no one would visit the death row in the Ministry of Justice except the old lady’s own children.
The old lady was about to be beheaded in public, yet she still wanted to see the Crown Princess. Shanhu said, "Third Aunt knew that the Crown Princess wouldn't go, so she didn't go in person, but only sent a maid to pass on the message."
Shen Wan picked up the teacup, and the mist of tea made her face hazy.
She chuckled, "Aren't you curious why the old lady wants to see me?"
coral,"……"
Silver bracelet, “…”
The maid had not been curious at first, but now her curiosity was piqued.
Shanhu opened her eyes and looked at Shen Wan, "Is the Crown Princess going to see the old lady?"
Chen Wan originally wanted to see what became of the old lady. The old lady wanted to see her one last time, and Chen Wan granted her wish.
The next day, after Shen Wan said good morning and prepared to greet Xie Jingyu, she went to the Ministry of Justice. Just as she reached the door of the study, Xie Jingyu came out and said, "Let's go."
Shen Wan, “…???”
Shen Wan was bewildered, "Where to?"
Xie Jingyu asked, "Aren't you going to visit the prison in the Ministry of Justice?"
Are you going to accompany her?
Shen Wan said, "I can go alone."
"I just happened to have something to do at the Ministry of Justice."
Without giving Shen Wan a chance to refuse, Xie Jingyu grabbed Shen Wan's hand and led her forward.
The Ministry of Justice is responsible for major cases such as murder and arson. What could Xie Jingyu have to go to the Ministry of Justice for? Shen Wan believed that Xie Jingyu was looking for an excuse to accompany her.
As a result, when they took the carriage to the Ministry of Justice, Xie Jingyu did not accompany her to the prison, but went to the government office.
If you really have something to ask, go to the Ministry of Justice.
But Xie Jingyu didn't accompany him, Chen Ping did.
The jailer of the Ministry of Justice did not recognize Shen Wan or Chen Ping, but Chen Ping carried the token of the Jingbei Palace with him, which was very useful.
The jailer let him go and Shen Wan was taken to the Ministry of Justice.
Having lived two lives, this was the first time that Chen Wan entered the prison of the Ministry of Justice. It was cold and damp, and the air was filled with a rotten and fishy smell. Even with candles lit in broad daylight, it was still dim.
As he walked forward, he suddenly heard a sharp scream, which scared Shen Wan.
The jailer who led the way said, "The princess of Jingbei is here to visit the prison. Don't alarm her. We'll interrogate her later."
After walking forward for a long time and passing through two iron gates, we finally arrived at the cell where the old lady was imprisoned. This was the outermost cell, and the more serious prisoners were still imprisoned in the innermost cell. It was as difficult as climbing to the sky to rescue someone from the death row of the Ministry of Justice.
The old lady had a stroke and was lying on a wooden bed. Grandma Sun was taking care of her.
Mother Sun followed the old lady for many years and was loyal to her. After the old lady suffered a stroke, she could not even hold dishes or chopsticks, let alone stand up. Mother Sun wanted to move in to take care of the old lady, and the Ministry of Justice agreed, otherwise there would be no one to clean up the prison and it would be stinking.
Without Grandma Sun's company, the old lady might not be able to see Shen Wu get married and die.
Seeing Shen Wan coming over, a trace of surprise flashed in Mother Sun’s eyes, and she quickly reported to the old lady lying on the bed, “Old lady, the second aunt is here.”
The old lady didn't even have the strength to sit up. The jailer opened the cell door and Shen Wan walked in.
The old lady was lying on the bed, her eyes fixed on Shen Wan, her mouth twisted as she spoke with difficulty, "I thought you wouldn't come..."
Shen Wan curled his lips and said, "Having seen your glorious appearance, I also want to see your miserable end."
Just one sentence made the old lady very angry, but unfortunately, half of her body had suffered a stroke, so she couldn't move no matter how angry she was.
Mother Sun said with red eyes, "The old lady is already like this, why does Second Aunt have to add insult to injury..."
Chen Wan laughed, "The old lady is so cruel and heartless to her own sister who is from the same mother, and you can't stand it just because I said a few unpleasant words?"
"The old lady wants to see me, has she never thought that my words are unpleasant to the ears?"
Mother Sun didn't dare to say much.
She knew that the old lady had brought this upon herself.
The old lady only hated that her eyes couldn't kill, otherwise Shen Wan would have been beheaded long ago. She laughed, "The thing I regret most in my life is not killing my own sister, but letting you stay in the Dingguo Mansion and let you enter the Dingguo Mansion family tree!"
Sure enough, I called her here to talk about this.
Before he died, he wanted to drive a thorn into her heart.
She told her this before she died in her previous life, and now the old lady told her this before she died.
Chen Ping frowned slightly.
Coral was also confused.
The Crown Prince's Consort was born to the Duke's wife, so naturally she must be included in the Duke's Mansion family tree. Can this be avoided just because the old lady disagrees?
Shen Wan also laughed, "Does the old lady think she can stop what my father insists on?"
The old lady's eyes flashed, "You know you are not a biological child?!"
Shen Wan said, “If the old lady asked me to come here just to tell me this, then there is no need.”
The old lady grabbed the green cloth beneath her and said word by word, "When did you know that?!"
Chen Wan chuckled, "Want to drive a wedge between me and my parents? I will only be more grateful for their love for me and do my best to protect them."
The old lady was so angry that she couldn't breathe. Not to mention Mother Sun, even Shen Wan was worried that the old lady would not be able to catch her breath and would die.
After a long while, the old lady finally calmed down. Shen Wan felt that she was quite capable and would not be easily angered to death, so she felt relieved. "Since I'm here, I can't make a wasted trip. I'll also tell you something that the old lady doesn't know..."
"I knew everything about you and Minister Qu teaming up to plot against my eldest brother. How could I possibly let you succeed?"
"The fourth young master caught the adulterer. I had someone lead him there."
"It was me who asked Madam Zhou to help expose your evil deeds..."
Every time Shen Wan said something, the old lady's face turned three points darker.
Chen Wan smiled and left. As he walked to the prison door, he turned back and delivered the last straw that broke the camel's back, "I forgot to mention that the Taoist priest that Madam Sun invited into the mansion said those words, and I also taught him..."
"An illegitimate daughter, with an indescribable destiny, capable of ensuring the prosperity of the Duke's Mansion for a hundred years. Yet, someone actually believed such a clumsy lie, and believed it without a doubt."
How dare an illegitimate daughter who is not presentable and has no backing dream of sitting on the throne and ruling the country?
Shen Wan scoffed.
The laughter was full of sarcasm.
The old lady was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot, which made Mother Sun feel scared.
How did Second Aunt know that she was not her biological daughter? When the Duke and his wife brought her back home, the old lady did not agree to let the Duke and Yun adopt her because of her unknown origin. That was the first time Mother Sun saw Shen Ji get angry, and she smashed a rosewood table with one palm.
Shen Ji's eyes were cold, "From today on, she is my daughter, Shen Ji's biological daughter!"
"Anyone who dares to say a word in front of her will end up on this table."
"If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Because she was a daughter, and she was born weak and sickly, no one thought they could raise her, so no one took her seriously.
Unexpectedly, the old lady's life was ruined by the second aunt.
