Lu Wan waited in the carriage for a while, then followed Ying into the city gate. It was still dark at this time.
Only when they saw the city gate completely closed did they breathe a sigh of relief.
They rushed back to the general's mansion at lightning speed. Lu Changxin and Shen Yan had already received the news and were waiting for them in the study.
"You guys are back? Is my sister safe and sound on the journey?"
Lu Changxin asked with concern.
"Of course." Lu Wan felt that she was now confident in what she said. She took out the account book with a smile and said, "Brother, Chen Yan, look at what this is?"
The two took it, flipped through it a few times and smiled in surprise. This account book clearly recorded how Tian Congxi had squeezed the people's money over the years in order to honor Song Ping.
With this, there is hope of bringing down Song Ping. Even if the empress dowager tries to protect her, she will have to look at this glaring evidence.
"Lu Wan, you did a good job."
Lu Changxin couldn't help but praise her and touched her hair. Chen Yan's expression was no longer as cold as usual, but gentle instead.
If Lu Changxin was not mistaken, there was probably a hint of admiration in his eyes?
Unlike the happy atmosphere here, the Tian and Song families were already in an uproar. Tian Congxi knelt at Song Ping's feet tremblingly, and said tremblingly: "Sir Song, it's not my fault. It was all that Boss Jin from the capital who deceived me. He must have taken advantage of his visit to your house to drink and stole my account books hidden at home."
"Waste!" Song Ping went up and kicked Tian Congxi in the heart, causing him to step back a few steps and fall heavily to the ground, covering his chest and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
But he still wiped the blood from his lips and said, "Sir, please spare me because I have worked hard for you for so many years. You are the nephew of the Queen Mother. Even if the account book is brought to the Emperor, as long as you refuse to admit it, they can't do anything to you!"
Tian Congxi said pleadingly.
Of course Song Ping knew that the Queen Mother loved him and would definitely protect him, but she managed to steal the account book that he had asked Tian Congxi to guard so carefully so easily. On the surface, it was stealing Tian Congxi's things, but in fact it was a slap in his face.
How could Song Ping be so easily fooled!
Song Ping was filled with anger and decided to do as Tian Congxi said.
Sure enough, not long after, news came from the palace asking Song Ping to hurry to the palace, saying that he was summoned for an important matter.
Song Ping sneered, knowing that she could not escape. When she arrived at the Golden Palace, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were already sitting upright, looking down at them.
"Your Highness, I bow to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Long live the Emperor, and long live the Empress Dowager."
"No need to be polite."
The emperor was still young, and the empress dowager often listened to government affairs from behind the curtain.
