"Your Majesty, her words are pure nonsense and slander!"
Old Madam Song was so angry that she was shaking and almost couldn't stand. Fortunately, Madam Song supported her.
"Come here, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing that His Majesty was so affectionate towards Old Madam Song, Nanny Liang had a bad feeling.
She is a nobody and just a servant of the Song family. It is unlikely that the emperor will believe her!
Alas! She is too naive!
He caught a glimpse of the righteous Meng Gaoyang from the corner of his eye, and his heart was at ease again.
After Old Madam Song sat down, Emperor Qianyuan asked, "You said that Madam Liang slandered your Song family. How can you prove it?"
"Ever since Baili Qingluan married into the Song Mansion, I've sent Nanny Liang to serve her. Baili Qingluan doesn't have the slightest bit of princess airs and is very filial to me. She gets along very well with her sister-in-law and sisters-in-law. She's kind to everyone and never beats or scolds the servants. From time to time, she sends gifts to each room and rewards the servants in the mansion. Everyone in the mansion, from the masters to the servants, loves her. Am I right, Nanny Liang?"
“That’s right!”
Nanny Liang had to admit that what Old Madam Song said was true, "But..."
Old Madam Song didn't give her the chance to continue and interrupted her, "So Baili Qingluan hid it this way. She had the opportunity to secretly collect intelligence without anyone noticing, and then escaped back to Xirong after stealing our Northern Army's important military secrets!"
"No! It was you who framed the Princess of Xirong, Your Majesty. The Song family framed the Princess of Xirong because they were worried that the truth would be exposed and they would be killed!"
Nanny Liang protested loudly, but she was ill, and her words were weak and powerless.
The ministers who heard this felt that she was guilty.
"Your Majesty!" Old Madam Song stood up and said righteously, "You heard it just now. Baili Qingluan often rewards servants in order to win their hearts. It is clear that Nanny Liang was bribed by Baili Qingluan to frame our Song family."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Madam Liang!" Old Madam Song tilted her head and looked down at her. "You say I'm talking nonsense, but how could your second son, who works as an accountant at the Fuyun Restaurant, have the money to buy a house worth several thousand taels in Beijing?"
"I..." Nanny Liang was so shocked that she couldn't speak a word.
At first, she felt that someone was framing her because of the large sum of money.
But after Baili Qingluan left, no one came to search her yard for many days.
She felt that this was given by Baili Qingluan!
Because Baili Qingluan once asked about her family situation and said that as long as she bought another house, her youngest son would be able to get married!
Could it be that the Song family gave the banknotes just for today?
"Your Majesty, you have seen that she is completely unable to refute me. Everything she said was fabricated to help Baili Qingluan slander the Song family! Your Majesty, please understand!"
Nanny Liang was confused at the moment and didn't know how to prove what she said.
"Your Majesty, how dare this old servant help Baili Qingluan slander the Song family and deceive the emperor? That is a grave crime of deceiving the emperor. This old servant does not have the courage. The Song family is the one who framed me for what I am now."
Madam Song: "Your Majesty! Nanny Liang suffered a stroke because she lost her balance and fell on the stone steps. I was able to save her life by arranging for a doctor to see her in time. Considering that she had served the Song family for many years, not only did I continue to pay her monthly salary, I also sent her many precious medicinal herbs and assigned maids to serve her. All of this can be verified!"
"Well, Censor Meng, I want you to thoroughly investigate this matter again!"
"Your Majesty!" The Supreme Court Justice stepped forward. "This concerns the reputation of the General's Mansion. I request to investigate this matter thoroughly with Lord Meng."
"Alright, I give you seven days to investigate this matter as quickly as possible. Dismiss your presence!"
Nanny Liang closed her eyes with a dead heart and was carried out by the palace servants.
"Mother, Liang Wen was taken to the harem!"
Old Lady Song's eyes darkened. It seemed that the Emperor was inclined to agree with Liang Wen's statement.
Fortunately, they sent someone to look for her second son when they entered the palace.
The letter from home should have been sent out of the city by now.
"She can't make a big splash. Let's go. We have a tough battle to fight next."
"Father! I wonder why you summoned me here?"
This is the second time Feng Jinyu has met Emperor Qianyuan since he returned to Beijing.
He had the illusion that his father seemed to feel guilty towards him and was avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally.
Emperor Qianyuan raised his head and looked at Feng Jinyu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. His Yu'er looked obviously better than when he just returned to Beijing.
Then he told him the rumors about Baili Qingluan.
"What do you think about this?"
"I only know that such a rumor has not yet appeared in the capital. If there were a rumor, I would definitely not be unaware of it. How did Meng Gaoyang learn of this rumor?"
"Meng Gaoyang must have heard the rumors long ago, so he arranged for people to secretly investigate the matter. After many days of investigation, they found nothing. Finally, they discovered the Da Rong Bank in an underground bank and traced it back to Liang Wen, a servant of the Song family..."
Feng Jinyu thought for a moment and said, "If the rumors are true, the Song family now has a large number of troops, which makes things difficult."
"Father is worried about this. He doesn't believe the Song family would treat Baili Qingluan so harshly."
Feng Jinyu said, "Now we have to assume that the rumors are true. We must secretly send people to the army to deploy. Once the rumors are confirmed, we can control the Song family army in time."
"The Emperor has given them seven days to investigate. Meng Gaoyang spent a long time investigating before finding Nanny Liang. Judging from Madam Song's behavior in court, this rumor is very likely a premeditated conspiracy by Baili Qingluan."
"Father, I am leaving the palace now to personally inquire with Nanny Liang and clarify the rumors."
"No need to leave the palace, she is in the palace."
At this time, Nanny Liang was placed in the backyard of the Shangshi Bureau and was taken care of by two old palace maids.
