Chapter 527: Furious
The maid took all the blame for murdering the prince. In the absence of other evidence, it would be difficult for the Ministry of Justice to convict Du Xiner and Xiao Jingxi.
The Ministry of Justice only cares about life for life, and doesn't care whether Du Xiner fails to discipline her subordinates.
Moreover, Prince Qing did not allow the Ministry of Justice to continue the investigation.
The Minister of Justice summoned Du Xiner and Xiao Jingxi to the Ministry of Justice for questioning, and Prince Qing also went there later.
Prince Qing said to the Minister of Justice, "The maid confessed and committed suicide. She deserved the punishment. The rest is our family affairs. I will deal with it when I return."
The quack doctor only sold the poison to the maid Qiaohui and had never met Du Xiner. As for whether Du Xiner was instructing the maid behind the scenes, no one knew.
Although the Minister of Justice did not believe that the matter was so simple, he could not stop Prince Qing from taking his son and daughter-in-law away because the Princess of Qing, who had sued Du Xiner and Xiao Jingxi, had also given up.
Princess Qing disagreed, but she saw murderous intent in Prince Qing's eyes.
Princess Qing's face turned pale and she felt a chill down her spine.
How dare I not follow Prince Qing's wishes?
Princess Qing was originally very sick, but she forced herself to go to the Ministry of Justice in order to avenge her son. Only after she felt relieved did two maids help her out of the Ministry.
After leaving the Ministry of Justice, Prince Qing turned around and slapped Xiao Jingxi in the face.
The slap was so strong that Xiao Jingxi's head was knocked off balance and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Du Xiner, who had been feeling complacent, could no longer laugh.
Prince Qing didn't hit her, but the look he gave Du Xiner was so frightening that she almost lost two of her souls and trembled all over.
Many of the Ministry of Justice's runners witnessed Prince Qing beating his son outside the Ministry of Justice. This news spread and reached Shen Wan's ears.
Shen Wan felt that Prince Qing was absolutely furious.
From Prince Qing's perspective, the Prince Qing's Mansion was about to be destroyed, and his son and daughter-in-law were still fighting for the position of Crown Prince, which ruined his plans.
Not to mention a slap, I guess Prince Qing wanted to kill Xiao Jingxi and Du Xiner.
Besides, after Du Xiner and Xiao Jingxi returned to Prince Qing's Mansion, they were both more amazing than each other.
Du Xiner asked to be divorced because she failed to manage her subordinates well and failed to discipline the maid, which led to the death of the prince.
Xiao Jingxi said that he had caused the maid to misunderstand that he wanted to be the prince, which led to the death of Prince Qing. He felt guilty and was willing to be expelled from Prince Qing's mansion.
Because Prince Qing's mansion was hosting a funeral, many people were coming in and out, and even though Prince Qing issued a gag order, the news still got out.
Anyone who heard about this had no doubt that Du Xiner and Xiao Jingxi wanted to anger Princess Qing to death.
One of them is the daughter of the Left Prime Minister, and the other is the only remaining son of Prince Qing.
The one who poisoned his son was a maid. Can Prince Qing let his son divorce his wife?
With this being the only heir left, could Prince Qing expel him from the family and leave his title without anyone to inherit?
It was obvious that the two of them did it on purpose, trying to make Princess Qing angry to death.
So what if her son was killed?
They are still staying well in Prince Qing's Mansion. They are now the eldest young master and the eldest young mistress, and will soon be the crown prince and the crown princess.
Princess Qing was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
Shen Wan felt that if she gave Princess Qing some time, she would definitely be able to kill Du Xiner and Xiao Jingxi. It all depended on whether she and Xie Jingyu would give Princess Qing a chance.
That day, the Fourth Madam came to Zhaolanxuan to look after the child and told Chen Wan, "The Luo Mansion will not postpone the marriage. We will marry Yao'er on the 28th of this month..."
Previously, the Fourth Lady and the Luo Mansion were afraid of hurting Prince Qing and Princess Qing, so they wanted to postpone the wedding date for another ten days to half a month. However, as the news of the quarrel between the brothers in Prince Qing's Mansion spread, the Luo Mansion no longer took Prince Qing's feelings into consideration.
Prince Qing's son and daughter-in-law don't care about his feelings, so why should their neighbors care about them?
The other person's son had caused a funeral in order to fight for the position of the crown prince, and she, the Luo family, had to consider their feelings when holding a happy event. How soft a persimmon must the Luo family be.
If it is really postponed, Lord Luo's colleagues will look down on him, and no one will say that the Luo family is cold-hearted and is rubbing salt into Prince Qing's wounds.
Since it has been decided to hold the wedding on the appointed date, the Jingbei Palace will send out invitations in the next two days to invite all civil and military officials to attend the wedding banquet.
Chen Wan doesn't need to worry about these things. The Fourth Madam, Mother Zhao, and Steward Zhou will take care of them properly.
The Jingbei Palace is getting busier day by day.
After the wedding invitations were sent out, many ladies from prominent families came to the Prince of Jingbei's Mansion to give gifts to Xie Zhiyao.
The Jingbei Palace was divided early, but the fourth branch has not been separated yet. The fourth master was promoted two levels, which was recommended by the prince. This shows how good the relationship between the fourth branch and the prince and princess is.
The second and third wives cannot rely on the big tree of Jingbei Palace, but the fourth wife is an exception.
In addition, Xie Zhiyao was marrying Young Master Luo, the nephew of the wife of Duke Weiguo. Anyone who had some friendship with them would come to send gifts and make do, and it was a reciprocity of gifts. When they got married in the future, Xie Zhiyao would also have to return the gifts.
Shen Wan also gave Xie Zhiyao a set of luxurious jewelry. Xie Zhiyao repeatedly said, "It's too expensive..."
Shen Wan said, "How can you not accept the additional makeup? What I gave you is almost the same."
Xie Zhiyao also knew this, so she accepted it.
Wei Mingzhu, Qin Nian'er and Ling Xue also came to give her some extra dowry. Zhao Ru and the Yun sisters also came. The Jingbei Palace had not been so lively for a long time.
On the day when the Jingbei Palace held its daughter's wedding banquet, the Yun family came early to help, and Wei Mingzhu and the others also came. Now that Chen Wan was a princess, few people had the courage to let Chen Wan greet and see off guests.
The wedding banquet was held in a festive and lively manner. Almost all the civil and military officials came. The wedding banquet was held in the Jingbei Palace for the sake of the prince and princess's face.
The next day was Xie Zhiyao's wedding day.
That day, Shen Wan got up early.
The Fourth Lady felt that Empress Quanfu of Kyoto, the most blessed person, was not as blessed as Chen Wan, so she asked Chen Wan to do Xie Zhiyao's makeup. If Xie Zhiyao could get a little bit of Chen Wan's blessing, her life would be smooth sailing.
Chen Wan must agree to this.
It’s just that Xie Zhiyao blushes too easily, and Shen Wan likes to tease her, “You blush so much, you can save yourself the rouge.”
Xie Zhiyao was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide in the bronze mirror.
After finishing the makeup here, the sedan chair arrived over there. However, Young Master Luo was bound to be given some trouble. When the time was almost up, Shen Wan helped Xie Zhiyao put on the phoenix crown and sent her to bid farewell to her parents.
Under the veil, Xie Zhiyao shed tears one after another.
She was shy and was reluctant to leave her parents. She was also a little afraid of the unfamiliar Luo family and cried very hard.
The fourth master and the fourth lady were also very reluctant to leave.
Shen Wan and they watched Young Master Luo leave with the bridal sedan.
Xie Jingyu and Prince Yuzhang went to the Luo Mansion for a wedding banquet, but Chen Wan did not go. Seeing the sedan chair going away, the fourth lady was still wiping her tears. Shen Wan said, "Don't worry, fourth aunt. Young Master Luo is a good person and will not let down fourth sister."
The Fourth Lady was not worried, she just couldn't bear to leave her daughter. She carried her daughter for ten months and gave birth to her daughter, and she never left her side for a single day.
Now that she is in the bridal sedan and married into another family, it will not be easy to see her again in the future.
