Chapter 54: A moment of delay, one hundred taels
"You're right. Grandpa has someone investigate this matter. Just wait for the news."
This reminded the old man that since the Song family was so scheming, perhaps they really had some shameful reason for needing a large amount of money.
While drinking tea, Nanny Hong brought over the freshly made snacks and winked at the old man. The old man hurriedly put down the teacup and spoke to Chu Jiuning with a loving look on his face.
"My dear grandson, I investigated the Crown Prince ruthlessly. I didn't find anything good, but I did find a lot of things about his ruthless methods and deep scheming. But I think this is normal and acceptable for someone who wants to achieve great things."
"There's another good thing. Because there are rumors that His Royal Highness is seriously ill and can't have children, so up to now, there has been no news of him having any involvement with any young lady. So, Grandpa guesses that His Royal Highness is probably still a virgin."
As Old Master Chu spoke, he leaned back. He had traveled all over the country for so many years that he could tell something at a glance. He always felt that the Crown Prince's illness was a rumor and had been exaggerated. He looked tall and thin, but the robe wrapped around him clearly showed a strong body, so he must have good physical strength.
"Sun, have you ever thought about attacking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Chu Jiuning didn't know how to answer her grandfather's question for a moment. Nanny Hong grabbed a chair and sat next to her, holding her hand.
"The one who is close to the water gets the moon first, Miss. We can only move to a higher place so that we won't be retaliated by the Song family."
"It seems to make sense."
Chu Jiuning agreed with a smile.
Nanny Hong immediately exchanged glances with Old Master Chu, and both of them finally felt relieved.
Originally they were worried that the young lady still had feelings for Song Jinhuai, but now it seems that she is quite good. She came to her senses quickly and stopped the loss quickly, which is very good.
"But the most important thing right now is divorce."
These words made Chu Jiuning frown slightly. If she wanted to divorce, she had to get the emperor's consent. But the emperor would definitely not agree, and neither would the Song Mansion's group of blood-sucking worms.
He sat up irritably.
"I'm going to see the Duke's wife."
"What are you looking at that evil woman for? She doesn't have a single kind piece of flesh on her body. She's so disgusting."
Moreover, the prison environment was terrible, dirty and messy everywhere. His granddaughter was delicate and he wished that every step she took was paved with jade.
"I didn't do anything, but I was happy just watching her locked up in jail."
That’s true.
Old Master Chu nodded, and then Chu Jiuning packed up and asked Mingtang to take good care of Grandpa, and then left with Amber and Qingsong.
When passing by a teahouse, the carriage stopped for a while. The audience's anger reached its peak as they listened to the storyteller's vivid description of how the Song family plotted against them, how they killed them, and how they rose to prominence.
Suddenly someone jumped up, slapped the table and shouted.
"Isn't this the story of the Song Mansion? If Chu Jiuning had fallen into their trap, wouldn't this be the outcome?"
"Yes, although the Chu family is a merchant family with a large business and a lot of money, they are still good to ordinary people like us."
"Yes, it snowed for days last winter. If they hadn't sent me rice, food, cloth, and charcoal, my mother wouldn't have survived. Actually, the Chu family is doing pretty well."
…
Listening to them talking one after another, Chu Jiuning finally discovered that the Chu family had been doing good deeds all along, and she felt deeply sorry for the Chu family. She turned around and said.
"Give all storytellers in the capital an extra 500 taels of silver!"
after.
He used the Crown Prince's jade ring, spent a large sum of money to clear the way for the Ministry of Justice's prison, and slowly walked in with good wine and delicious food.
The cell was dark, damp, and filled with a foul odor that made people want to hold their breath.
There were rows of torture instruments, the jailers had expressionless faces, and a cold wind was blowing in the corridor.
Far away.
Then I heard Song Jinhuai cursing.
"Hurry up and find me another place, otherwise when I get out I will seek revenge on you one by one. How dare you lock me up in such a smelly and messy place without even considering my status."
"I've been wrongly accused and will be out soon. If you know what's good for you, come and curry favor with me and serve me. I won't eat this pig food. Go get some roast chicken and some good wine. I'll reward you handsomely when I get out. Do you understand?"
Bang bang bang.
Seeing that no one paid any attention, Song Jinhuai slammed the prison bars. It was unknown whether he disturbed others or not, but the Duke's wife behind him had already frowned and said in annoyance.
"Okay, stop yelling and sit down. I promise nothing will happen. Just wait."
Since Lord Wu agreed to take her jade pendant to see the emperor, the Duchess's wife calmed down. After coming here, she sat in the straw pile and waited.
Looking at the son in front of her, she was somewhat disappointed, but now she needed to rely on Song Jinhuai to gain status as a mother, so she couldn't turn against her son.
Turn your head.
Song Jinhuai rushed to the Duke's wife with a cold face.
"You are truly a good mother to me. You have done the same evil for me as your son."
The Duke's wife sneered. Of course she had to drag Song Jinhuai down with her because he was of noble status and was the son and grandson of the emperor. If the emperor had lost his feelings for her long ago, she would have to rely on Song Jinhuai to turn things around.
This crime.
She said she would drag Song Jinhuai down with her no matter what.
Just about to speak.
When I looked up, I saw Chu Jiuning and his men walking slowly towards me, carrying a food basket.
The Duke's wife hurriedly stood up, rushed to the prison door, frowned and scolded.
"Why are you here now?"
Song Jinhuai saw the food baskets in their hands at a glance, rushed forward, pushed the Duke's wife aside, and reached out to grab them.
"Hurry up and bring the food over. I'm starving."
Look.
Even though Chu Jiuning was just angry with him, she actually couldn't bear to see him suffer.
Chu Jiuning looked at his anxious look, smiled, and opened the lid of the food box. There were pork elbows, roast chicken, liquor, and even lion's head. The aroma of the food almost made Song Jinhuai's eyes pop out. He was really too hungry. This was from Guixian Tower, and a plate of food cost hundreds of taels of silver.
“Hurry up…”
Chu Jiuning took out the elbow, smelled it, and looked at Song Jinhuai. Just when Song Jinhuai was happy, she suddenly handed the elbow to the jailer beside her and smiled.
"Guixianlou bought some food and gave it to the adults. I'll say a few words to them and then leave."
The jailers were already trembling with fear when they saw the things of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but later they were given a large sum of money and were very happy. Now they had good wine and delicious food, and there were several food baskets, each of which was heavy.
Now that was great, all the brothers could have a full meal. The jailer was in a very good mood and treated Chu Jiuning like the God of Wealth. He took the food basket and said with a smile.
"Whatever you want."
Watching the jailer leave in a flash, Song Jinhuai felt like his stomach was about to explode, and veins on his forehead popped with anger.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you? You didn't come to see us, to redeem us, you came to watch me have fun."
"You're right."
Chu Jiuning smiled and pointed to the cell where he was staying.
"Is it comfortable to stay here? Is it smelly enough?"
As she said this she turned around and clapped her hands.
It won't take a moment.
Then someone came over carrying three loads of things.
After putting down the things, the first servant raised his hand and introduced.
"Master Song, this is a load of cow dung."
The second one also shouted.
"This is a load of chicken manure."
The third probe also said hurriedly.
"These are two baskets of pig manure."
A gust of wind blew through the hallway, stirring the three odors together, and adding the unique vomiting smell of the prison, it was simply so fresh.
Song Jinhuai quickly covered his nose with his hands, looking terrified.
"What are you going to do? Chu Jiuning, what are you going to do?"
Chu Jiuning didn't say anything, hooked her fingers, then clasped her hands across her chest. The servant tied an apron, put on gloves and a mask, and then spoke respectfully to Chu Jiuning.
"Miss, please step aside so as not to dirty your beautiful clothes."
Chu Jiuning nodded and took several steps back.
The servants grabbed the long wooden spoons and each scooped a large spoonful of manure. Someone shouted one, two, three, and then three piles of manure were thrown towards Song Jinhuai.
Song Jinhuai's face changed drastically. He quickly retreated, hid in the corner of the wall and grabbed some straw to cover himself.
When the servant saw him start to hide, he knew the fun was about to begin. He spat twice into his palm and gripped the spoon handle tightly.
"I didn't hit it right just now. Let's try again."
"I almost threw it into his mouth."
Chu Jiuning spoke lightly.
"If you hit one, you get one hundred taels of silver."
The servants' eyes lit up when they heard this, and even the yamen runners not far away ran over and asked Chu Jiuning with a smile.
"Miss Chu, this game is fun, can we play it?"
"Of course, the same, if you win, you get one hundred taels."
The yamen runners immediately became excited, rolled up their sleeves, found various tools, dug up the feces and threw them at Song Jinhuai and the Duke's wife.
For a while.
All I saw were two people in the cell jumping around and screaming miserably. After being hit, they were so disgusted that their eyes turned red.
"The atmosphere in this prison is really good. I need to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to reward you all."
As Chu Jiuning said this, the jailers immediately worked harder, and even brought the toilet bowl over and scolded them.
The Duke's wife and Song Jinhuai were covered in feces and fell to the ground, gasping for breath and looking desperate.
Song Jinhuai clenched his fists tightly and roared in excitement.
"Chu Jiuning, wait until I get out, I'm going to make you pay."
The Duke's wife also glared at Chu Jiuning hatefully.
"Bitch, do you know who I am? You'll regret it sooner or later!"
"What is your identity?"
Chu Jiuning raised her hand and everyone stopped immediately. Chu Jiuning walked forward wearing a mask.
"Tell me the truth, and I'll have the warden move you to another place. Otherwise, you'll be sleeping in poop tonight."
The Duke's wife's body was already sticky. Those smelly and disgusting things had seeped into her clothes and stuck to her skin. She felt so disgusted and uncomfortable.
"I still need to shower and change."
"good."
Chu Jiuning nodded.
Anyway, this matter will be made public tomorrow at the latest, so it doesn't matter if she tells Chu Jiuning now. The Duke's wife stood up and took a step forward, but ended up stepping into the soft feces. The Duke's wife trembled with nausea, and forced herself to take a few steps forward, staring at Chu Jiuning.
"Come closer and I'll tell you."
She really wanted to see, when Chu Jiuning found out that she had a relationship with the emperor and Song Jinhuai was the emperor's son, would his face show shock, regret, or would he immediately kneel down and beg for mercy?
"Chu Jiuning, you should actually be happy. I'm going to tell you my true identity..."
"Forget it."
Chu Jiuning suddenly waved her hand, turned around and left with a cold face.
The words were about to come out of the Duke's wife's throat, and she was about to say them, but she turned around and left. The Duke's wife instantly felt like a flood, about to rush out, but was blocked.
How can this be tolerated?
She screamed with bloodshot eyes.
"Why didn't I say anything? Isn't this what I'm trying to tell you? Don't leave, Chu Jiuning, you little bitch, come back here and listen to me."
But.
Chu Jiuning ignored her and walked quickly towards the exit...
