When Jiang Xiancao heard that Marquis Wen Ning wanted to test Shen Tingsi again, he chuckled.
This man who was used to giving orders still hadn't figured out that he was no longer the powerful marquis he used to be. He was just a criminal waiting to be tried and sentenced. He had no right to give orders to anyone!
Marquis Wen Ning glared at her, "Are you scared? Afraid that I'll expose your conspiracy and lies, and you'll be unable to continue as the fake Ninth Prince!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xiancao laughed even louder.
After she finished laughing, she looked at Master Yuan and said, "Master, are you still going to allow a lunatic to bully me and my uncle?"
Lord Yuan lowered his eyes. He had heard a long time ago that Imperial Master Huiming had claimed that the Ninth Prince and Second Miss Jiang had exchanged souls, but his claim failed in front of the Emperor, causing the Emperor to be furious. Under the current circumstances, he really didn't want to listen to these things from a criminal who was immersed in evil magic.
After a moment's thought, Lord Yuan made a decision and said in a deep voice:
"Marquis Wenning, the Emperor has long known of your past intimacy with Huiming. Now that your affair has been exposed, you're trying to use Huiming's rhetoric to deceive the people. How ridiculous! Come, immediately put Marquis Wenning in a prison cart and send him to the Imperial Prison!"
When Marquis Wenning heard this, he roared like a madman:
"I won't go to the Imperial Prison. Everything I said is true! Give me a chance, and I can prove it!"
Master Yuan just said coldly:
"Save these words for when you're in prison!"
When Marquis Wen Ning was put on the prison car, he was still shouting that the imperial prison was Shen Yubai's territory, and he would be tortured into confessing if he went in, and Shen Yubai would never allow him to tell the truth.
But no one paid any attention to him, even the common people watching the show on the roadside just made sarcastic remarks.
Because the people in Wen Ning Marquis' Mansion are usually arrogant and do a lot of bullying to men and women, it is no wonder that people are gloating when they see them in trouble.
There were also people who hated Marquis Wen Ning so much that they threw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at him.
Marquis Wen Ning was in a state of extreme humiliation, his dignity completely shattered.
The Imperial Guards quickly escorted him to the Imperial Prison. Lord Yuan said to him, "Your Majesty, do not worry that His Royal Highness Prince Zhan will torture you into a confession. We, the Imperial Guards, will investigate this case together. The evidence of your crimes is well documented, and we don't need any testimony to convict you. Why would His Royal Highness Prince Zhan bother?"
Marquis Wen Ning had been in a state of panic and anger all the way, and his mind was a little hazy at this moment. Hearing this, he suddenly came to his senses, "That Xuanyin Tianlu was secretly put into my study by Prince Zhan's people. Huiming and others and I don't have any shameful dealings. I..."
"If that thing was really placed in your study by someone to frame you, how did you know it was called Xuanyin Tianlu?"
Master Yuan narrowed his eyes and sneered:
"My Lord, those who do evil will eventually perish. For someone like you who would even sacrifice his wife and children, you've truly deserved this. Furthermore, the Emperor already knows about your defilement and imprisonment of Princess Lin Yue. I advise you to stop resisting and confess all your shameful deeds as soon as possible. You'll suffer less in prison!"
Marquis Wen Ning had been in the court for so many years, and even though his heart was filled with fear and anxiety, he was still keenly aware that Lord Yuan's attitude towards him had suddenly changed!
Could it be that the emperor had someone convey another oral order in private?
His extremely unfavorable guess was soon confirmed by Mr. Yuan:
"You are not the only one who committed heinous crimes in the Wenning Marquisate. Your mother and sons will also be tried. The confiscation order will be issued soon, and you Jiang family members will soon be reunited in the imperial prison."
Upon hearing this news, Marquis Wen Ning, who had originally hoped that his family could make some moves outside, was so shocked that he fainted.
