Chapter 299: The Anger of the Ex-husband
Erya rolled her eyes, "You believe what she said?"
Yun Ting thought, that’s good.
If he married Erya, he would be scolded by her for the rest of his life, and he would feel hopeless just thinking about it.
"Don't be stubborn. I can see your end, but you may not live to see mine." Erya said, "Live well. I'm waiting for the verdict from Shuntian Prefecture."
After she finished speaking, she sneered and waved to the crowd, "Go away, go home and eat, we still have to work."
She cursed and left leisurely.
After they had been out for a long time, Yun Ting asked her, "You didn't perform to your full potential today. I thought you were going to scold her to death, but why, why did you call it quits so quickly?"
"I'm not here to scold her," Erya said. "I'm here to warn Xin Ji'an."
"Um?"
"Remind him that as long as Dujuan dies, all the sins can be put on Dujuan."
Yun Ting couldn't help but take a breath.
"Will Xin Ji'an listen?"
"Yes." Erya didn't say that this was Daya's idea, but just repeated what Daya had said to her, "Xin Ji'an must have gained something. Once the matter is exposed, he will lose more than he gains. If Dujuan dies, he can easily put the blame on Dujuan, because he, Doctor Hu, and my mother have no conflict of interest."
I guess by then, Xin Jian will pretend to be pitiful and say that he believed Du Juan's one-sided words and was deceived because he trusted her too much.
"But you said it in front of so many people, and Xin Ji'an still dared to attack Du Juan?"
"In order to avoid being exiled three thousand miles, he dared."
Yun Ting suddenly said, "Zhuozhuo, you look a lot like Zhaozhao now. You two are indeed sisters. I never realized before that you are so smart."
"Don't you think I'm cruel?"
"She wants your mother's life, and you want her life. This is not cruelty, but filial piety." Yun Ting said.
"Oh, this idea came from my eldest sister."
"I thought so. But it's also thanks to you coming. You're the one who's really good at scolding people. Zhao Zhao can't do that."
Erya gave him a blank look and left.
Two days later, Dujuan went out for a trip with Xin Ji'an and fell into the water in public.
Because the weather was still cold, no one went into the water to rescue him.
Xin Ji'an was anxious and offered a reward of ten taels of silver, asking anyone to help rescue the person.
When faced with a huge reward, some brave men jumped into the river to save people, but when they were rescued, the people were already dead.
If he had died in some other way, perhaps there would be conspiracy theories.
But the person was in public view, and Xin Ji'an had people rescue him. Afterwards, he took Dujuan's body back for burial and fainted from crying several times. Who wouldn't say that he was deeply affectionate and loyal?
After such a performance, I believe that in the future when he goes to court, even if he is caught, he can use the excuse that he was blinded by deep affection to excuse himself.
After all, Dujuan really couldn't speak.
When Dujuan Niang heard the bad news, she cried day and night.
Since the person is dead, there is nothing for Doctor Hu to worry about.
I had originally made up my mind to separate, but now seeing that Lin had lost her daughter and was left alone, and with Hu Rui around, I had no choice but to continue like this.
Lu Qin's mother was also very sad.
However, she only thought that it was Dujuan's fault and did not expect other calculations behind it.
In Shuntian Prefecture, upon hearing that Dujuan had died, Xin Ji'an no longer accused her of adultery, but only said that he had heard it all from Dujuan, and there might be some discrepancies.
The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture was so happy that he immediately declared Du Juan to be a false accusation. However, the man was already dead, so the case was closed.
In fact, those people in Shuntian Prefecture don’t eat for free.
They have followed Xin Ji'an and found the Qingping Marquis Mansion.
The housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion had once had contact with Xin Ji'an and was seen by someone.
But who dares to continue investigating?
Now that we have come to this point and have an explanation, let’s close the case quickly.
Yun Ting advised Xiao Yan to be more open-minded, using what Xiao Yan had said to him before.
Because when people are stuck in a dead end, they actually understand the truth, but they need someone to remind them.
"Just like my case, that was my own father, yet they're trying to smooth things over. If the Shuntian prefect continues to investigate, and it's ultimately linked to the Marquis's Mansion and the princess, it will have to be reported to the emperor. By then, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed in the emperor, too."
Because no matter what the nature of the matter is, it will always end up being "unsuccessful".
If you still want the emperor to give you a result, then in the eyes of the emperor, it would be considered as being aggressive.
"Xiao Yan," Yun Ting patted his shoulder, "Jiang Xuan is in this state now. You should take back the position of commander of the Black Armor Army. Otherwise, if this position falls into the hands of someone else, in two or three years, you will have no place left."
When people leave, the tea gets cold.
Jiang Xuan bought Xiao Yan more than a year, and from now on, Xiao Yan can only rely on himself.
Only with power can you do whatever you want.
Now Xiao Yan was angry, just like himself, just angry for a moment.
Then at most, he could assassinate his stepmother?
But things have come to this point today, and the Seventh Princess died at this juncture. Who did it? It's as obvious as lice on a monk's head, isn't it?
The emperor may indeed be unable to find evidence, but if he makes the emperor unhappy, what future does Xiao Yan have?
Daya also expressed the same idea to Xiao Yan in private.
She said, "Father, even a centipede is still alive even after death. With the princess's help, the Marquis's family is huge and powerful. It will take a long time to overthrow them. You should first seek to restore them, and then you can fight back and forth and slowly wear them down."
Xiao Yan could endure the harm he had suffered in the Marquis' Mansion.
However, he found it hard to swallow the fact that his stepmother had attacked Lu Qiniang.
Daya advised him, "Dad, nine out of ten things in this world are not as you wish. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. These things between you and the Marquis' Mansion cannot be explained in a few words. Moreover, your life experience is also involved. If she dies, your life experience may not be found out. So, wait a little longer. Even if my mother knew the truth, she would advise you the same way."
People at the bottom of society are accustomed to suffering losses.
"Yeah." Xiao Yan was finally persuaded by Daya.
However, reinstatement requires the right time, place and people.
The Prince of Yan had implicated him before, and the Emperor was still unsure whether he was willing to let him take charge of the Black Armor Army again.
Someone needs to bring this up.
Xiao Yan still has to think of a solution.
He is patient.
But this sudden accident, unlucky and disgusting, interrupted his plans.
Lu Qiniang no longer mentioned anything about the marriage consummation.
Xiao Yan knew that she was in a bad mood and could not bring it up again, so he could only look for another opportunity.
In short, Xiao Yan was very depressed.
There is no wall that is impenetrable in this world, especially for Old Lady Sun, who still lives in Tonghuafang.
The story of Lu Qiniang and Doctor Hu eventually reached Zhang Heyao's ears through Sun Shun.
Zhang Heyao immediately hosted a banquet to entertain the governor of Shuntian Prefecture.
The governor of Shuntian Prefecture went there happily.
You have to know that this is the Minister of Revenue, who is in charge of the purse.
During the banquet, Zhang Heyao flattered the governor without making any expression, which made the governor of Shuntian Prefecture very happy. He treated Zhang Heyao as his brother and almost became sworn brothers with him.
When Zhang Heyao sympathized with him and told him that his job was not easy, what else could he say?
He complained bitterly to Zhang Heyao.
After the banquet ended and the Shuntian prefect was seen off, Zhang Heyao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the twilight in front of the window with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"Qingping Marquis Mansion, very good——"
Xiao Yan is a waste, but he is not.
If anyone touches his people, he will cut off her hand!
