Chapter 57 You Are Not Very Honest
This is truly a false accusation. Qi Muchao sighed helplessly and reached out to hold her unfriendly finger. "I don't think so, but my opinion cannot represent the opinions of others."
"Do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or the Second Prince would be more willing to trust Wei Xun to clean up the Sang family's current mess, or would they trust Sang Mingyue, the woman who was tricked by Wei Xun and had to flee in disgrace?"
The answer is obvious, isn’t it?
But Lu Wanning totally disagreed. "This doesn't mean anything. No one would be constantly on guard against the person next to them. The reason the Sang Mansion has become like this only proves that Wei Xun is a cruel and shameless villain."
"Are we really going to ignore this shameless and despicable person and blame everything on the people who have suffered?"
Should I blame Sang's father for not being more vigilant against his son-in-law, which led to my own death? Should I blame Sang's mother for being so deeply in love with her husband that she followed him after his death? Should I blame Sang Mingyue for letting a wolf into the house out of her sincerity?
This is ridiculous.
Qi Muchao remained noncommittal.
Of course he was willing to stand on Lu Wanning's side, but it was obvious that he was the only one.
Lu Wanning knew what he meant and didn't argue with him any further.
She was not convinced in her heart, but what she needed to do was not to change these people's views with just words, but to do something to make these people truly realize that interests are not unchangeable.
Sang Mingyue recuperated in Prince Qi's mansion for three days. He Maosheng also came over and left again after making sure that she and Sang Zhiyu were safe.
He should want to avenge Sang's father himself and not let the two siblings get involved.
The person sent to Ji'an to investigate the whereabouts of the wet nurse also returned with news.
The wet nurse is still alive.
Qi Muchao's men brought back the wet nurse, her adopted son, and his entire family.
When Changqing came to report the news, Lu Wanning had just put the prepared pills into an exquisite small porcelain bottle.
Hearing this, his eyes lit up and he stuffed the small porcelain bottle into Qi Muchao's arms, "One pill a day. You can't miss it this time."
Qi Muchao opened it and took a look. Although the smell of the pills was still not very pleasant, compared with the big bowl of pitch-black medicine, it was definitely better.
He quickly put the small porcelain bottle away like a treasure and said, "Changqing has locked the man in the dungeon. I'll take you there."
Yes, there is a dungeon in Prince Qi’s mansion.
Walking over to the rockery, Qi Muchao led her to stand next to a huge stone, pressed a small protrusion on the side, and the huge stone moved away with a bang.
It was pitch black inside and I couldn't see anything.
Lu Wanning immediately grabbed a corner of Qi Muchao's clothes.
Qi Muchao lowered his eyes and led her inside.
After walking through a dark and narrow path and turning two corners, you will arrive at the dungeon.
The candlelight in the dungeon was still dim, and because of the lack of light and humidity for many years, there was a very unpleasant smell.
Lu Wanning felt a little breathless as soon as she came in. However, what made her breathless even more was the people imprisoned in the three cells in front of her.
These three people are completely unrecognizable. There is not a single piece of good flesh on their bodies, and it is even impossible to tell whether they are male or female.
He was hung on a piece of wood like a cross, with his hands and feet tied and unable to move.
If it weren't for the occasional weak breath, Lu Wanning would have really thought that this man was dead.
The people in the other two cells were not much better off.
These three people didn't know whether they smelled Qi Muchao's scent or heard his voice, but they couldn't help but tremble all over.
Changqing handed over a whip very familiarly and without any tact. Qi Muchao clicked his tongue lightly, frowned and did not take it.
Seeing Lu Wanning's shocked look, Chang Qing immediately understood and put away the whip again. "Don't be afraid, Princess. These are extremely vicious people who should have been in hell long ago. They are kept here to torture them every day and not let them die too easily."
Lu Wanning was not afraid.
She was just thinking excitedly that if Wei Xun was also hung here and let Sang Mingyue whip him a few times every day, Sang Mingyue's inner depression might be relieved a little.
Seeing her eyes flickering, Qi Muchao thought she was afraid, so he pulled her towards him and said sarcastically, "So that's all the courage you have."
Lu Wanning glared at him immediately and said, "I'm not scared."
Glancing around, her sight fell on a few people huddled together not far away. Lu Wanning walked over and stood in front of a woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties. She tilted her head and asked, "Is this Wei Xun's wet nurse?"
"yes."
Wei Xun's name made the flesh on the woman's cheeks tremble.
She stared at Lu Wanning, as if trying to recognize who she was, but she had no idea at all.
Lu Wanning glanced at the young couple and the child sleeping soundly in their arms, then squatted down. "Don't be afraid. I just want to ask her some questions. As long as she answers them well, you can leave soon."
The young couple nodded repeatedly, and the young man even begged his mother, "Mom, just tell her whatever she asks. Wang'er is still young and can't stand being frightened."
After these people calmed down, Lu Wanning spoke, "Li Xianglan."
The woman raised her head and looked at her tremblingly.
"When you were young, you were Wei Xun's wet nurse for a long time, right?"
"yes."
"Then let me ask you, who brought you to Wei Xun to take care of him?"
The woman's eyes flickered. "Yes, it's Wei Lianzhao."
"Really?" Lu Wanning raised her eyebrows calmly and continued, "You've been with Wei Xun for so many years, have you ever met Mrs. Chen, Wu Shuhua?"
She clearly saw Li Xianglan's cheek twitching and her eyelashes trembling rapidly, but she was determined not to make it too obvious. "No, I haven't seen it. Mr. Wei and the young master usually lived together. Later, Mr. Wei married a wife, and his wife died not long after."
She said so much without being asked, which only meant that she was afraid of the question Lu Wanning had just asked, because she had indeed met Mrs. Chen, so she needed to use other topics to suppress this question.
"You're not very honest."
Lu Wanning clapped her hands, and Changqing immediately snatched the sleeping child from the arms of the young couple.
The young couple screamed and tried to take it back, but Chang Qing raised his foot and kicked the man out, saying coldly: "If you scream again, I will throw this child to death."
The young couple was so frightened that they dared not make a sound at all.
Li Xianglan closed her eyes in pain and clenched her teeth.
The child was frightened awake and cried incessantly, which made people feel upset.
Lu Wanning just wanted to make a quick decision. She said to the wet nurse, "Wei Xun was raised by you back then. Could it be that you won't be raising your adopted son as well?"
