"In the second year of Yuande, Xie Ze's wife's younger sister, Cui, lent money at exorbitant interest rates. Her wicked servants forced her to pay the debts, driving more than a dozen innocent people to their deaths."
"..."
"In the twenty-first year of Hongzhen, Xie Ze's brother-in-law, Cui, was stationed at the border city. He killed innocent people to claim credit and harbored bandits to maintain his own power..."
Helian Jue read aloud the words one by one onto the white paper.
From Xie Ze's brothers to his relatives, and even Xie Ze himself, almost everyone was involved in illegal or disorderly conduct.
In particular, Xie Ze's brother-in-law, Cui, committed a capital offense.
Xie Ze, despite being born out of wedlock, was able to seize control of the entire Xie family thanks to his wife's family, the Cui family.
If he angers the King of Yue, and this implicates the entire Cui family, and the Cui family falls, Xie Ze will not have a good end either.
Of course, the Cui family also has nobles in the palace, so they won't fall anytime soon.
However, at this crucial moment when the crown prince has been deposed and the court is preparing to recommend a new crown prince, the slightest carelessness could implicate the fifth prince born to Lady Cui.
As Xie Ze thought about these things, cold sweat poured down his forehead.
He stared intently at the "incriminating materials" in Helian Jue's hands, wishing he could rush up and tear them to shreds.
However, Xie Ze couldn't help himself. He wasn't stupid, and neither was Helian Jue.
Those incriminating materials will not be prepared in just one copy.

At that point, it will truly be a fight to the death, with no room for retreat.
"Your Highness, we are all family, why have things come to this?"
"Well, it's just a dowry, I'll give it! I'll give it!"
Xie Ze wiped away his cold sweat while forcing a smile.
Xie Yuan: ...Impressive!
As expected of someone who was once the crown prince, even after being deposed, he is not someone to be trifled with.
Xie Yuan certainly wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think that His Highness the Prince of Yue was collecting dirt on Xie Ze for her sake.
It's estimated that Helian Jue started doing this while Xie Ze was jumping around trying to change the bride.
only--
If Helian Jue were to reveal his dirty secrets now, it would indeed help her get her dowry, but then he wouldn't be able to deal with Xie Ze.
Xie Yuan couldn't help but feel moved and guilty.
Did she ruin Helian Jue's plan?
