Chapter 516: Reporting to the Police
Ever since she came to Jingming Tower, she seemed to have been staying with Aunt Jiao...
Ying Zhilin glanced at Aunt Jiao, and finally landed on Huang Ying'er: "Ying Zhixue is soft-hearted and is wrong to stir up trouble, but the person who stirs up trouble behind the scenes deserves death.
Huang Ying'er, take good care of her, or I will make you regret it."
"Who are you glaring at? Who are you scolding? If you say that to my daughter again, I'll dig your eyes out." Aunt Jiao was immediately displeased and cursed in a low voice, "Your own sister has no manners, why are you being so mean to my daughter!"
Ying Zhilin snorted coldly.
Aunt Jiao thought she had the upper hand and continued to taunt Ying Zhilin: "What are you humming about? My Ying'er is now a fourth-rank official, and you are only an eighth-rank official. You still have to bow when you see her!"
Ying Zhilin Kan was too lazy to pay attention to Aunt Jiao anymore.
Tell them to stay in their rooms and not to act rashly.
Leaving the room directly can easily expose everyone in the room.
He had no choice but to open the window and jump from the second floor.

"How dare you!" In the lobby on the third floor, Zhu Lele slammed the table and stood up.
She pointed at Wen Yan and said, "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to question Sister Ruyue?
Sister Ruyue has always protected you, but you took advantage of her kindness to bite her back. You are like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, you are so heartless and ruthless..."
"Wow, it's so lively here!" A kind and gentle voice sounded from the corridor.
Everyone turned around.
They were all shocked when they saw the person coming.
They all knelt down and saluted: "Your Highness the Concubine."
The person who came was none other than Concubine Dowager Gong.
With the support of Ning Tan and Zheng Xiaozhe, Concubine Gong went up to the third floor.
Wen Ruyue looked up quietly and first saw a pair of gorgeous pointed-toe shoes.
When I looked up, I felt that the embroidery on Concubine Gong's skirt looked familiar.
Looking again, isn’t this the new style that was just launched in my shop?
Could it be that Concubine Gong also likes the clothes in her shop?
Wen Ruyue was secretly happy.
However, when she raised her eyes again, she realized that she was overthinking it.
This dress has the same style and embroidery as the ones in his shop.
But the materials used are completely different, and the texture they present is even more different.
It uses Feihe jacquard.
More breathable and softer drape.
The production of Feihe jacquard silk is very low, and only Tianyi Cloth Shop sells it.
Wen Ruyue's eyes suddenly widened and she subconsciously clenched her fists.
Wen Yan also made this dress.
It was also given to the Queen Mother.
When did she make it? When did she give it to the Dowager Concubine?
Wen Ruyue turned around and looked at Wen Yan.
Wen Yan only saw a smile on his face, and he raised his eyebrows slightly at her.
Wen Ruyue shuddered, and her whole body felt cold.
Concubine Gong patted the back of Ning Tan's hand.
Ning Tan nodded and said to everyone, "Her Majesty, please ask all the ladies to stand up."
Everyone looked at each other and then stood up.
Only then did he see the two maids supporting Concubine Gong.
One of them had fair skin and a round face, and looked very pleasing. It was Zheng Xiaozhe.
The other wore a veil, revealing a pair of lively eyes.
Although she did not show up, others had already guessed her identity from her outfit.
Wen Yan blinked at her. Ning Tan didn't dare to reveal too many signs and just looked at her one more time.
It can be considered as a greeting.
Concubine Gong let go of Ning Tan and Zheng Xiaozhuo's support.
She came to the Glass Guanyin alone and bowed three times sincerely.
She turned around, and Princess Taisu stepped forward to support her: "Grandma, why are you here at this time?"
Princess Taisu helped Concubine Gong sit down.
Concubine Gong said, "Your father brought me back to Beijing to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. After I finished the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace, I heard that a shop specializing in glassware had opened here. I was curious, so I came to take a look and digest my food."
"Do you like any of the glassware in this shop?"
"I've seen them, and I like every single one of them. Why don't you buy them all and give them to me?"
Princess Taisu showed a shocked expression, then she hugged Concubine Gong's arm and shook it coquettishly: "Grandma, aren't you making things difficult for your granddaughter? I'm so poor. Even if you sell me by the pound, you still can't buy so many glasswares!"
Concubine Gong laughed heartily: "You, you are even more stingy than the daughter of the Wang family who sells herbal tea at the entrance of the Jokhang Temple!"
"Grandma, you are making fun of me again!" Princess Taisu covered her face with a shy expression.
Wen Yan changed to a new set of glass cups and brewed tea: "This is a flower tea that calms the mind and helps with sleep. Would you like to try it?"
Concubine Gong took the teacup and took a sip. "Hmm, it tastes good. This time it has the scent of jasmine, which is much better than the lotus seed scent last time.
The fragrance of lotus seeds tastes bitter as soon as I smell it."
"If the Concubine likes it, I'll send a few packets to you tomorrow."
Just a few simple sentences, but they contain a huge amount of information.
Wen Yan has always been in contact with Concubine Gong.
In other words, Concubine Gong is Wen Yan's backer.
Those who had just bullied Wen Yan together felt a little guilty.
Concubine Gong smiled and said, "Okay."
After a few pleasantries, Concubine Gong asked about what had just happened: "What were you talking about?"
Wen Yan was about to report.
Princess Taisu took the initiative to tell the whole story.
Concubine Gong frowned after hearing this: "This may seem like just a quarrel between sisters, but if it gets out, it will affect the reputation of both women.
How about this, I will take charge today and get to the bottom of this matter.
Pei Shaoqing of the Dali Temple is the most impartial and adept at solving cases. Let him investigate this matter. I believe that in no time, the misunderstanding will be resolved and the two girls will be cleared of all charges."
"No..." Wen Ruyue wanted to stop her.
But her cry was so abrupt that everyone looked at her.
Wen Ruyue was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead: "It's just a small quarrel, there's no need to trouble the Dali Temple."
Wen Ruyue's shop had never been robbed.
If the investigation goes on, Wen Yan will definitely be cleared.
Then, as someone who said "the sample clothes were stolen" in person, I would become too suspicious.
Wen Ruyue looked at the same clothes on Concubine Gong and Ning Tan. Wen Yan must have made more than just these few...
Then all the dirty water she had just thrown at Wen Yan would definitely rebound back on herself.
By then, her reputation will be ruined. Will the Crown Prince and the Marquis of Jingping still like her?
What's more, Wen Yan has the support of Concubine Gong and Princess Taisu, so how can he be her opponent?
Thinking of this, she felt a chill in her heart.
Mrs. Jia also clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
She secretly glared at Wen Ruyue.
Something that is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.
Concubine Gong ordered Ning Tan, "Go downstairs and have someone go to the Dali Temple and call Pei Qiupan."
"Yes." Ning Tan went downstairs immediately.
About a cup of tea later, Pei Qiuchen hurried over.
Behind him, Ying Zhilin followed.
"Your humble servant greets the Concubine Dowager." Pei Qiuchen and Ying Zhilin knelt down in salute.
Wen Yan raised her eyebrows, wondering why Ying Zhilin came out.
Concubine Gong waved her hand and said, "This case concerns the reputation of two women. I'd like you to go and clear their name."
After Pei Qiuyan agreed, he and Ying Zhilin went their separate ways.
