Nan Hongqiu actually believed what Song Wanning said. After all, if Song Wanning hadn't known about this first, she probably wouldn't have been able to come here to block her.
Nan Hongqiu, when you thought of Wu Junrou this time, you were so angry that you gnashed your teeth, but it was too late to say anything now.
Nan Hongqiu snorted coldly upon seeing this, and said to Song Wanning, "Now that I'm in your hands, just tell me what you want to do to me."
"My aunt has done this for me, so naturally I have to think about her as well." Song Wanning waved to the people behind her and said, "This lady set fire to the Prime Minister's residence, intending to burn everyone there. I'm afraid someone behind the scenes is plotting to murder the Prime Minister's family. Dali Temple Minister Qian Xingyu has always been fair in enforcing the law. Send her to the Dali Temple and let him conduct a thorough trial."
Nan Hongqiu's face turned pale as he was taken away.
Song Wanning guessed correctly. Nan Hongqiu was not a man of integrity. When he saw the criminal law of the Dali Temple, his legs went weak and he confessed everything in an instant.
In addition to admitting that he had sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion through a dog hole and set fire to it in an attempt to kill Song Wanning, Nan Hongqiu also said that he was instructed by someone to get the news that the Prime Minister was detained in the palace.
And the person who gave her the news and reminded her that she could take revenge happened to be Wu Junrou.
When Wu Junrou was taken to the Dali Temple for questioning, she still looked incredulous. Nan Hongqiu knelt in the Dali Temple and said, "Your Excellency, it was this lady who sent her subordinate, the mother, to deliver a letter to me, reminding me that the Prime Minister had fallen into trouble and it was time to avenge him. That's why I went to seek revenge. Please be kind and consider this."
"Slander, blatant slander." Wu Junrou was shaking with anger. She hadn't expected Nan Hongqiu to be such a fool. "What evidence do you have to prove that I wrote to you?"
"I still have that letter." Nan Hongqiu took out the letter from her sleeve and presented it to Qian Xingyu who was sitting above.
Qian Xingyu read the letter and immediately looked at Wu Junrou below him and said, "The evidence is right here. Madam Yin, do you have anything else to say?"
Upon seeing this, Wu Junrou immediately explained to Qian Xingyu, "Your Excellency, I am being wronged. This matter has nothing to do with me. It is this woman who is wrongly accusing me. I have never written such a letter. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at my other letters. The strokes on them are simply not something I could write."
Qian Xingyu, who was sitting on top, frowned and thought for a while, then said to Wu Junrou, "If it wasn't written by you, could it be written by one of your servants?"
"The Prime Minister is my nephew, and Song Wanning is my niece-in-law. How could I do such a thing? I hope you will understand." Wu Junrou looked at the current scene and wished she could skin Nan Hongqiu alive to relieve her hatred.
Nan Hongqiu listened to Wu Junrou's words and just smiled and said, "You just want to distance yourself from it now. Don't think I don't know. If we talk about relatives, I am still Song Wanning's aunt. This little kinship is nothing."
Wu Junrou gnashed her teeth in anger, but couldn't get angry. She looked at Qian Xingyu who was sitting above her and said, "Sir, I'm afraid it's impossible to convict me based on a letter that wasn't written by me and this shrew who's spouting nonsense. Besides, I'm the family of an official. If you want to convict me, I'm afraid there are still many rules to go through."
Seeing this, Qian Xingyu also smiled at Wu Junrou and said, "These rules are indeed not enough. Today I just called Madam over to question her. I'm afraid that one of your subordinates has a grudge against the Prime Minister's wife, which is why she did such a thing. Just hand over that servant."
Seeing this, Wu Junrou remembered that the letter had been written and delivered by Mother Shen's son. If Mother Shen's son was handed over at this time, Mother Shen would probably feel resentful. Wu Junrou hesitated for a moment, and at this moment, Nan Hongqiu said, "The person who came to deliver the letter was a servant. It seems that he is a servant in the Yin Mansion. He is tall and has big ears. I'm afraid he has some important work in the mansion. Silk clothes like that are not something that ordinary people can wear."
"If Madam doesn't hand it over, I'm afraid it's because she's guilty." Nan Hongqiu said to Wu Junrou in this way.
Wu Junrou really didn't know why this crazy woman would bite her to death, but she was helpless at the moment. She only said to Qian Xingyu who was sitting above, "Sir, when I return to the mansion, I will thoroughly investigate the servants there. If any servant has really done such a thing, I will naturally send them to the Dali Temple."
Wu Junrou originally wanted to do it secretly, but who could have imagined that Song Wanning outside also added fuel to the fire. After investigating, she tied up Shen Mama's son and sent him to the Dali Temple.
When Nan Hongqiu saw the servant, he immediately pointed the finger, "Yes, it's him, the fat, big-eared fellow who delivered the letter to me. Please, sir, investigate carefully and don't let my accomplices go."
Qian Xingyu felt a headache when he saw Nan Hongqiu kneeling below. He immediately asked Nan Hongqiu, "Are you sure it's this person?"
"That's right." Nan Hongqiu nodded repeatedly.
Qian Xingyu interrogated Shen Mama's son again. Fortunately, Shen Mama's son was loyal and did not betray Wu Junrou. However, Wu Junrou did not expect that the matter would turn out like this.
After Wu Junrou returned to her own residence, she spent a lot of effort to rescue Shen Mama's son from the Dali Temple. Wu Junrou was now seriously injured and did not dare to think of any way to deal with Song Wanning.
At this time, the situation in the imperial palace was turbulent.
Gu Jie entered the Imperial City from outside the palace to look for Concubine Yu. He looked at her and said, "Oh no! I heard someone has gone looking for that sorcerer. I'm afraid someone in the harem has noticed something and is trying to break your illusion."
Although Concubine Yu was somewhat surprised when she heard this, she looked at Gu Jie calmly and said, "What are you afraid of? How could that mage be so easy to find? Besides, so many years have passed, he might have died. Master sent so many people to hunt him down, but he was never found."
After hearing this, Gu Jie still said to Concubine Yu, "We must be on guard against this matter. We should hurry up with our plans. You should talk to the emperor these days and execute Yin Yichen first. He will definitely be a disaster if he's around."
When Yu Meiren heard this, she realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately nodded towards Gu Jie.
