Chapter 441 Human Relationship
So fast...
Xie Jingyu was almost in a daze, wondering whether the secret guard he sent to investigate the second master of the Wen family was Chen Guo.
Chen Guo presented the evidence.
Xie Jingyu took it and looked through it.
Chen Ping was a little bit unbelievable, "You found the evidence so quickly?"
There are two masters in the Wen Mansion.
The eldest master Wen is in Kyoto, and the second master Wen is exiled to Xuzhou.
On the day when the wife of the Prince of Zhaoping gave birth, Shen Wan was on her way back home when Wen Jingze tried to kill Shen Wan by shocking her horse. When Xie Jingyu found out, he decided to completely destroy the Wen family to prevent them from causing trouble.
The eldest master Wen only holds an idle position in Kyoto, and his office is not very profitable, but the second master Wen, who is sent out, has real power. If you want to destroy the Wen family, you have to start with the second master Wen.
Xie Jingyu sent Chen Guo to Xuzhou. He thought it would take at least one or two months for him to come back, but he didn't expect him to come back in just a few days.
Xuzhou is not far from Kyoto, but it is not close either. It takes three days to get there even if you ride at full speed. In other words, Chen Guo found evidence of Master Wen's guilt in just three days.
This seems too easy no matter how you look at it.
Xie Jingyu was worried that there was something wrong with the evidence, but on the contrary, not only was there nothing wrong with the evidence, it was enough to get the entire Wen family to lose their heads.
Xie Jingyu looked at Chen Guo, "You figured this out in just three days?"
...How is that possible?
Even if he were given three months, he wouldn't be able to find out this irrefutable evidence.
Chen Guo shook his head. "These evidences were not found by me. When I was investigating the Wen Residence at night, I ran into a man who was also investigating the residence. He knew I was one of my men, so he gave me these evidences."
"I was worried there might be a problem, so I spent a day verifying it before returning to Beijing."
Xie Jingyu asked, "Who found the evidence?"
Chen Guo shook his head, "I don't know."
Chen Ping said, "It would take at least a year or two to collect this evidence. How could I hand it over to you so easily?"
Chen Guo said, "I find it strange too. He said he had a grudge against the Wen family and that he handed the evidence to me as a way of repaying my life-saving grace."
"I feel that it's impossible to fabricate this kind of false evidence in one day. Besides, even if it's true or false, the Emperor won't do anything to me, so I chose to believe him."
After that, Chen Guo asked, "Is this evidence true?"
Xie Jingyu said, "It's true."
but--
He didn't remember saving anyone who had a grudge against the Wen family.
In any case, it's a good thing to get the evidence so quickly.
He remembered this favor.
After reading the evidence from beginning to end, Xie Jingyu took the evidence into the palace.
Chen Wan didn't know that the Wen family was doomed. She was tired of sitting, so she walked around the room, holding her waist. As she was walking, Chun'er came in from outside, lifting the cotton curtain. "Princess, the two cousins from the Yun family are here."
Chen Wan's brows lit up with joy, and Yin Chuan said, "I will go and welcome them."
Soon Yun Miao and Yun Qing came in.
Seeing them, Shen Wan smiled widely, "Why are you here?"
Yun Miao said, "Thanks to my cousin, the Yun family has made great contributions and received many rewards from the emperor. Grandpa and grandma are very happy and have prepared a lot of things for us to bring to you and Prince Jingbei."
The two men brought two large boxes.
No one knew what was inside, and the two servants had a hard time lifting it.
Chen Wan said, "I just opened my mouth, and it was my cousin and the Yun family who ran around. It's only right that the emperor rewards the Yun family."
Yun Qing smiled and said, "Then it's not right for cousin to give her share to the Yun family."
The one who went to the Yun family to announce the reward was Eunuch An.
The Yun family was generous and provided disaster relief to Jizhou. When Eunuch An went to announce the reward, the Yun family gave him a thousand taels of silver. Eunuch An was happy to go to the Yun family to announce the reward.
Old Master Yun was modest and said that the credit went to Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu, and that the Yun family was just helping out and running errands, and they were not worthy of so many rewards from the emperor.
Eunuch An smiled and said, "The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess of Jingbei humbly gave way to the Yun Family, and the Yun Family gave way to them. Don't worry, the Emperor will have many opportunities to reward them."
Knowing that half of these rewards were for Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu, Old Master Yun and Old Madam Yun felt bad. After Old Master Yun looked over the emperor's rewards several times, he plunged into the storeroom to see if there was anything that his granddaughter Chen Wan and his grandson-in-law Xie Jingyu would like.
Two large boxes.
One box was for Chen Wan and the other was for Xie Jingyu.
Shen Wan asked, "Grandpa and Grandma, aren't you being distant with me?"
Yun Qing said, "How can I be so polite? My cousin has the Yun family in her heart, and the Yun family must be thinking about you too."
The Yun family was so good to her that she couldn't say anything more. Thinking of how she had screwed the Yun family over in her previous life, Shen Wan couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.
But that was in the past life, and I will never repeat the same mistake in this life.
It was rare for Yun Miao and Yun Qing to come to the Jingbei Palace, and since the weather was nice, Shen Wan accompanied them for a walk in the garden.
The two of them didn't dare to. They were scared when they saw Shen Wan's big belly. "It's very cold, let's not go to the garden. Let's just talk in the house. When the baby is born, there will be plenty of time to go to the garden."
Shanhu Yinchuan also agreed, and Shen Wan said, "But I want to go for a walk in the garden."
Shanhu said, "When the prince comes back, let him accompany the princess to visit the garden."
If anything goes wrong, no one can take the responsibility.
Chen Wan had no choice but to give up and said to Yun Miao and Yun Qing, "There are not so many people in the Jingbei Palace now, so you can come and talk to me often."
Yun Miao and Yun Qing nodded repeatedly.
Soon Xie Zhiyao also arrived, and the few of them drank tea and ate snacks in the flower hall, talking and laughing.
Yun Miao and Yun Qing liked the imperial cakes. Chen Wan said, "If you like them, I'll ask the imperial chef to make some more. You can take them back and let your grandparents have a taste."
Yun Miao said, "Grandma will definitely like it."
While eating and chatting, Yun Qing talked about the marriage between Yun Yue and the third daughter of the Zhou family. Yun Qing said, "The wedding date has been set. The wedding party will leave for Qingzhou in the next two days to pick up the bride."
Shen Wan asked, "Is my third cousin back?"
Yun Miao said, "Third brother sent a letter back and will be back in the next few days."
After a pause, Yun Miao whispered, "Grandpa and grandma are worried about big brother's marriage."
Yun Yan is the eldest son of the eldest house and will become the head of the Yun family in the future.
Yun Yue married the third daughter of the Zhou family, a daughter of an official, so Yun Yan's marriage became difficult.
Marry someone of equal social status, or you might not be able to control your sisters-in-law in the future, and there will be discord in the house.
He could marry the daughter of an official. Even though the Yun family was now much more prestigious, most people would not marry their daughters into the Yun family. Even if Old Madam Yun had someone she liked, she would not dare to propose marriage, for fear of bringing shame upon herself.
Then Yun Yan's marriage was put on hold. Old Madam Yun planned to let Mrs. Yun go out more often after Miss Zhou San came into the family, to see if she could also marry a well-educated and well-mannered lady for Yun Yan.
Shen Wan asked, "Doesn't your cousin have a girl he likes?"
Yun Miao said, "Brother is completely focused on business. It would be strange if he had a girl he liked."
If there really is one, grandparents won’t have to worry. It’s difficult to choose between the two, so it’s better to follow Yun Yan’s wishes.
Chen Wan also felt that her cousin didn't seem like the type of person who would have a girl he liked, so the topic came to an abrupt end.
Yun Miao and Yun Qing stayed for a while longer. Seeing that if they didn't leave now, they would be late for lunch, so Chen Wan said, "Then don't rush back. Have lunch with me. I'll ask the imperial chef to make a few more dishes."
Yun Miao and Yun Qing had never tasted the imperial meal before, and were a little hesitant. "If we stay, what about my cousin-in-law?"
Chen Wan laughed, "Zhao Lan Xuan is so big, but there is no place for my husband to eat?"
Yun Qing, “…”
That's not what she meant, okay?
How could my cousin accompany them for dinner and leave the Prince of Jingbei aside?
Just as the two were hesitating, Chun'er came in and said, "Princess, the prince has something to do and won't be back for lunch."
Chen Wan looked at Yun Miao and Yun Qing, "Now you can rest assured that you can have dinner with me, right?"
The two of them nodded hurriedly.
The imperial chef prepared eight dishes and one soup for them, all of which were his best dishes. The Yun family believed that they never treated themselves badly when it came to food, but it was still nothing compared to the imperial cuisine.
Thinking that his grandparents had never eaten the imperial meal, Shen Wan said, "When grandpa's birthday comes later, I will ask the imperial chef to prepare a birthday banquet for him."
Yun Qing said, "Grandfather will be extremely happy."
The meal lasted for half an hour. Yun Miao and Yun Qing said goodbye. Chen Wan didn't want to keep them any longer, and Xie Zhiyao sent them out of the house.
After Shen Wan had lunch, he walked in the yard to digest the food. When he felt sleepy, he went back to the house.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, Shanhu, who had gone out, came back again. She opened her mouth and made Chen Wan's sleepiness disappear. "Princess, the prince brought people to raid the Wen Mansion..."
