Chapter 22 How Could He Fall into the Trap?
The next day.
Zhan Beiyuan did not take Momo and Mianmian to the military camp. Instead, he and Jiang Yunxi went to check each dry well in a high-profile manner, and brought guards with them. The formation was so grand that it attracted the attention of people from all over the city.
What happened at the Wenxin Marquis Mansion yesterday has spread throughout the capital.
Today, Zhan Beiyuan and Jiang Yunxi went to check the dry well. The people couldn't help but associate the two things together, and everyone started discussing it heatedly.
I began to wonder whether what happened at Marquis Wenxin’s Mansion was true.
He watched his wife, whom he had married in a formal ceremony, drown, and killed his father-in-law's entire family. He even suppressed their souls in a dry well, preventing them from being reincarnated.
These kinds of deeds are simply outrageous to both humans and gods!
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan searched carefully for each dry well. When they met onlookers, they asked them to provide the location of the dry wells.
The people were very enthusiastic in telling the location of the dry well. In their eyes, Zhan Beiyuan was fair and selfless.
I will not wrongly accuse good people, nor will I let the bad people go.
A whole day passed.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan checked many dry wells, and there was still a small number left to check, so they planned to continue checking tomorrow.
…
Prince Han's Mansion.
In the evening, the emperor came quietly.
"Royal grandfather!"
Momo and Mianmian ran towards him with their short legs, each holding one leg and rubbing their little heads against him affectionately.
The emperor's heart melted when the two of them hugged him, and he couldn't stop smiling.
They didn't bring their children into the palace, so he had to come by himself. He missed them very much these days.
"Be good, look what I brought you." The emperor said and looked at Eunuch Qin behind him.
Qin Fu immediately walked forward holding an exquisite brocade box, looked at the two little ones, and said with a smile: "Little prince, little princess, let's go over there and see what the emperor brought you."
"Thank you, Grandfather!" Momo and Mianmian said and went to see the gifts.
Zhan Beiyuan looked at the emperor and said indifferently, "Why did the emperor leave the palace?"
The Emperor said with a dark face, "What's your attitude? You don't want me to come to your palace? Humph, I'm not here to see you."
"Thinking too much is bad for your health." Zhan Beiyuan gave him eight words.
The Emperor: “…”
Jiang Yunxi wanted to laugh when she saw the father and son. She knew that the emperor loved Zhan Beiyuan very much because he was the youngest son of his beloved woman.
"Besides visiting Momo Mianmian, does the Emperor have anything else to do?"
"I heard that you went to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion and beat the drum to complain. Is what you said true?" asked the retired emperor. He was not there to stop her from investigating.
On the contrary he supported Cha.
He heard about it.
Last night, they went to check the dry well together, and today they went to check the dry well together with the guards. Isn't this what he hoped for, the two of them spending more time together?
"It's true." Jiang Yunxi said seriously. After she and Zhan Beiyuan returned to the palace last night, she released Xie Sirou's soul.
Let her tell Zhan Beiyuan about her grievances in person.
The Emperor's face darkened, his eyes sharp. "The Wenxin Marquisate was once a prosperous place, and their ancestors were all good people. How could they have such a descendant?"
He was angry on behalf of the ancestors of the Marquis Wenxin Mansion.
An unfilial son or daughter can really ruin an entire family.
"You reap what you sow." This is the only explanation Jiang Yunxi could give.
"You guys investigate it carefully and make the truth known to the public." The retired emperor said with dignity. Only if they spend more time together can they understand each other and take their relationship to the next level.
"I will make Marquis Wenxin pay the price he deserves." Bloodthirsty murderous intent flashed in Jiang Yunxi's beautiful eyes. The other party was not worthy of being a human being.
Back then, the Marquis Wenxin married Xie Sirou, a merchant girl, because the mansion was unable to make ends meet.
She brought a large dowry with her, and because she was good at business, she revitalized all the loss-making shops in the Wenxin Marquis Mansion and made them profitable.
Because of her, the life of Marquis Wenxin's mansion will get better and better.
In the end, she became the worst sufferer.
The Wenxin Marquis Mansion is sorry for Xie Sirou.
After enjoying a wealthy life for ten years, it's time to pay back the debt.
The retired emperor looked at her with admiration and praised her, "You are so righteous, you are a bit like your grandfather."
Jiang Yunxi said: "I am indeed like my grandfather. My grandfather is also very righteous in the underworld now."
"What did you say?" The emperor was stunned.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
He heard clearly that the old Duke of England was in the underworld.
"My grandfather did not reincarnate in the underworld." Jiang Yunxi said without hiding anything.
"Hasn't he been dead for more than ten years? Why hasn't he been reincarnated yet?" The retired emperor had an expression of shock and disbelief on his face.
Jiang Yunxi had no choice but to repeat what she had said to her grandmother that day.
The Emperor: “…”
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
The father and son were both stunned when they heard this. It was the first time they heard such a strange story.
dinner.
The emperor stayed in Prince Han's mansion.
At the dinner table, he asked Jiang Yunxi to tell him a lot of miraculous things.
Jiang Yunxi said happily.
After dinner.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan took the children to see the emperor off. Originally, the emperor wanted to take Momo and Mianmian to stay in the palace for a few days, but Jiang Yunxi said that her father had returned from the border and she planned to take the children to see him tomorrow.
The retired emperor had to wait for the next opportunity to bring his two children into the palace.
"The emperor needs to be careful in the near future, otherwise he will get hurt." Jiang Yunxi thought about it and gave a reminder.
"It's okay to be injured. Anyway, I can still live for at least five years. I'm not afraid." The emperor was not nervous because of her reminder. As long as his life was spared, it would be fine.
Jiang Yunxi's face was full of black lines.
You are so open-minded!
Great mentality!
He is worthy of being the emperor!
…
The Mansion of Marquis Wenxin.
"Master, this Jiang Yunxi is so despicable. It seems like she is determined to go against our Marquis' Mansion." Yao held the handkerchief very tightly, with a stern look on her face and a burning rage in her heart.
Lu Ze'an's face no longer had the elegance of the past, only gloom. He thought that after Lord Qu from Jingzhao Yinfu came to the Marquis' Mansion and found nothing, Jiang Yunxi would give up.
But she not only didn't give up, but also pulled His Royal Highness Prince Han into it.
During the day, they were searching for dry wells everywhere with great fanfare. If he guessed correctly, they were probably looking for the suppressed souls of the Xie family.
I didn't expect Xie Sirou's soul to run away.
But it seems that she doesn't know where they were suppressed, otherwise she would have told Jiang Yunxi long ago.
"Without evidence, even if His Royal Highness Prince Han is involved, we can't do anything to the Wenxin Marquis Mansion." Lu Ze'an quickly calmed down. They deliberately made a lot of noise, just to make him feel a sense of crisis and deal with the souls of the Xie family.
How could he fall into the trap!
If he doesn't lead them, they won't be able to find the place!
Hearing this, Yao finally felt relieved. "This Jiang Yunxi really deserves to die. She looks like she won't give up. It's not good for the Wenxin Marquis Mansion if she keeps making trouble like this."
Sudden.
The housekeeper came in and hurriedly reported: "Master, Concubine Li has sent Madam Xu to the mansion."
