Chapter 442 Not Unfair
Xie Jingyu brought people to raid the Wen Mansion?
Shen Wan thought he had fallen asleep and had a sweet dream.
She stood up and tried to sit up, but her belly was too big and she couldn't stand up immediately, and her hips were pulled and she felt a tearing pain.
I'm not dreaming...
Shanhu hurried over to help Shen Wan, and Shen Wan asked, "Which Wen Mansion did you copy?"
Are there other Wen Mansions in Kyoto?
Shanhu quickly replied, "It's Concubine Wen's family."
Shen Wan, “…”
It turned out that they really copied Concubine Wen’s family.
There was no news about this beforehand, so how come they just raided the house?
Generally, a house search is conducted when there is solid evidence of a crime, and it is rare for a verdict to be overturned.
Chen Wan couldn't wait to know what the Wen family had done wrong that was why the emperor confiscated their property, but Shanhu only knew that Xie Jingyu had taken people to search the Wen family's house, and she didn't know anything else. She could only wait for Xie Jingyu to return home to ask.
Inside the room, Concubine Wen leaned against the large pillow with a restless mood.
She was pale. This time the diarrhea almost took half her life and she still hasn't recovered.
The maid brought the medicine into the room. Smelling the bitter taste, Concubine Wen wished she could skin Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu alive.
The maid advised, "Concubine, drink the medicine."
When Concubine Wen heard the word "concubine", she felt it was harsh and humiliating.
"Take it away!"
She didn't want to drink.
The maidservant could only persuade Concubine Wen earnestly and finally persuaded her to drink the medicine. Just as Concubine Wen was about to take the medicine bowl, a maidservant stumbled in and hurriedly said, "Concubine, this is bad! The prince has brought people to the Wen Mansion to confiscate the property!"
Bang!
The medicine bowl in his hand fell out of his hand.
It fell on the edge of the bed, half of it spilled on the bed and the other half spilled on the ground.
Concubine Wen's already pale face lost all color. "What did you say?!"
"Say it again!"
Let me say it again, it was the Crown Prince who led people to raid the Wen Mansion.
The Crown Prince has a bad temper, and Concubine Wen knows it very well. Why not provoke the Crown Prince when there are so many people to provoke? The Crown Prince doesn't care whether the Wen family has saved the old prince's life or not.
The maid reported again, and Concubine Wen got down from the bed in a hurry. She was just exhausted from diarrhea and had not eaten anything yet. She did not even have the strength to lean on the big pillow. She fell off the bed and her hand was cut by the broken pieces of bowl, and blood gushed out.
Concubine Wen was furious. "The Wen family has been kind to the Jingbei Palace, how dare the prince do such an ungrateful thing?!"
The maidservants could not bear to hear this. General Wen saved the old prince's life, but the Wen family also wanted to repay the favor by asking for the position of the prince's concubine. When the prince agreed to marry Concubine Wen, he said that the favor had been repaid.
It’s just that the old lady, the second lady and the third lady used to cause trouble for the princess, and they would often mention the Wen family’s life-saving grace to the old prince.
Concubine Wen and the Wen family coveted the position of the Crown Prince and replaced him with another. If it weren't for the prince's protection, the Crown Prince would have been tortured to death by their Wen family. Until now, the whereabouts of the real Second Young Master are still unknown.
Even so, it is too shameless to expect the prince to remember the kindness of the Wen family in saving the old prince.
Concubine Wen wanted to go find the prince, but she was so weak that she couldn't even leave the room and could only worry.
"Go and invite the prince!"
Chen Wan was originally very sleepy, but when she heard such exciting news, her sleepiness disappeared. She didn't know when Xie Jingyu would come back. Chen Wan waited for the sleepiness to go away while waiting for Xie Jingyu.
Shanhu regretted waiting so much. She should have waited until the Crown Princess woke up before reporting to her...
After waiting for a full half hour, Xie Jingyu finally came back.
Entering the room and seeing Shen Wan leaning on the large welcoming pillow, Xie Jingyu asked, "Are you awake?"
"I haven't slept yet."
“…”
Xie Jingyu came over and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Shen Wan asked, "Did you really bring people to raid the Wen Mansion?"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Jingyu knew that Shen Wan was waiting for him and that was why she didn't sleep.
Xie Jingyu said, "It has been copied. Madam Wen and everyone in the Wen family have been imprisoned and will be executed on a later date."
Shen Wan's eyes widened, "What crime did the Wen family commit?"
Xie Jingyu sat down beside the bed. "Corruption and bribery, favoritism and fraud, abuse of power, bullying men and women, collusion between officials and businessmen..."
"Punishment for ten crimes is not unjust."
Shen Wan was stunned by so many charges.
The Wen family is in Kyoto. Because General Wen died saving the old prince, and the prince's concubine was the daughter of the Wen family, the Wen family is in Kyoto. Although their official positions are not high, no one dares to bully them. But no one expected that they would be so evil in private.
Yes, it would be strange if a mother like Old Lady Wen, who throws a tantrum, could raise good children.
Shen Wan asked, “You found so much evidence, when did you start investigating the Wen Mansion?”
Shen Wan wondered if he had wanted to do this before she married Xie Jingyu.
Xie Jingyu told her, "I said I checked it half a month ago, do you believe it?"
Shen Wan looked at him with an expression that said, "Do you think I'm so easy to fool?"
Xie Jingyu couldn't bear to see her like this, so he reached out and pinched her nose. "Your husband didn't lie to you. On the day when the Zhaoping Marquis's family had a baby, Wen Jingze took action and you almost scared a horse in the street. Since we can't keep our distance, it's better to get rid of him, otherwise he'll pounce on us and bite us one day."
Originally, for the sake of the old prince's face, Xie Jingyu didn't plan to do anything to the Wen Mansion, but Wen Jingze and Concubine Wen kept looking for death.
Since they want to die so much, there is no reason not to help them.
Shen Wan was shocked, "So much evidence, and it only took half a month to find out?"
This ability to get things done is beyond words.
Xie Jingyu laughed, "It was investigated by someone who had a grudge against the Wen Mansion. He took advantage of a ready-made opportunity."
Shen Wan, “…”
Can this be a bargain?
But it's also true that in the eyes of court officials, the Wen Mansion is under the protection of the Jingbei Palace. Most people don't have the courage to touch the Wen Mansion, otherwise there would be no need to collect so much evidence and not sue the Wen Mansion.
Xie Jingyu is the prince of Jingbei. If he attacks the Wen Mansion, the Wen Mansion will be doomed.
It’s not that Xie Jingyu is taking advantage, but that each of them gets what they need.
With so many charges, even the prince cannot protect the Wen family, not to mention that the prince may not necessarily save the Wen family. However, Wen Jingze and Song Nanyue, Duke Song, Queen Song and the Queen Mother will definitely spare no effort to save them.
The Wen family's property was confiscated and they were imprisoned so suddenly that by the time Duke Song received the news, his daughter and son-in-law were already in the Ministry of Justice's prison.
Duke Song was so angry that black smoke came out of his head. His daughter was so well-behaved, but she was badly harmed by the third prince of North Vietnam!
When the news was received, Yu Niang was in Duke Song's study. Duke Song was so angry that he grabbed Yu Niang's neck and almost broke her neck.
If the wife of Duke Song had not rushed over, Duke Song might have strangled Yu Niang to death.
Duke Song let go of her hand, and Yu Niang quickly jumped out of the window and left.
Yu Niang stayed at Prince Cheng's mansion and returned with bruises on her neck, gasping for breath while leaning on the table.
At that moment, there was a creaking sound from the window and a man jumped in.
Yu Niang was startled.
The man asked, "Who did it? The Duke of Song or the Left Prime Minister?"
Yu Niang said, "Don't worry about it. How's the investigation going on with the thing I asked you to investigate?"
The man said, "The Yongzhou snowstorm resulted in no more than a hundred casualties."
Yu Niang frowned, "A hundred people? How come so few died?!"
The man said, "The Yun family spread rumors that a snowstorm would occur in Yongzhou. The people of Yongzhou were well prepared, so a hundred casualties are not surprising."
"The Yun family again!"
When Jizhou was hit by a flood, the Yun family provided disaster relief.
There was a snowstorm in Yongzhou, and the Yun family contributed again.
When did the court's affairs become the Yun family's affairs?!
The master also wanted these natural disasters to deplete the Ning Dynasty's treasury so that he could turn around and raise an army to have a better chance of victory.
As a result, the losses from both natural disasters were minimized by the small Yun family!
Yu Niang's eyes were icy, "The Yun family must be controlled by the Prince of Jingbei!"
The man said, "I can't kill the Prince of Jingbei, but I can kill a few of the Yun family to vent my anger."
