Xu Nian was no longer in the mood to dawdle with him.
“Master Qiu should be a pragmatic person. You should know in your heart that your situation is beyond saving. But even in this dark and gloomy prison, there are comfortable and uncomfortable times. Master Qiu has been comfortable for several days now. Otherwise, Master Qiu would like to experience what it is like to be uncomfortable.”
After being threatened by Xu Nian, Master Qiu, who had suffered these past few days, finally couldn't hold on and told everything he knew. Then, Xu Nian took back the testimonies and documents with his fingerprints on them.
Before leaving, he gave the order that Master Qiu's life be spared for the time being.
A life for a life, but there's still some use for Master Qiu's life.
When Xu Nian received the definite news, the first person he naturally told was Bobo.
The matter was already basically settled; Mr. Qiu's testimony merely added to its credibility.
After reviewing the testimony, Bobo immediately wrote a letter to his parents in the capital, explaining that he couldn't handle the matter himself and that it would be better if Yinzhen and Yunrong intervened.
It's more convenient to do things over there.
However, after finishing writing, Bobo did not immediately send it to the capital. Instead, she said to Xu Nian, "Go and ask Miss Qiu what she thinks."
The matter has been settled, and the parties involved must know this.
"yes."
Xu Nian immediately went over to ask, and the result was predictable: Qiu Wen was a mature person and did not feel guilty about using someone's body.
When she arrived, the original owner of this body had already died. If she hadn't been able to swim, she would have died too.
Although she was not short of money, there was still a gap in status between her and Zhang Tingyu. Zhang Tingyu was willing to work hard for her, and she herself was also quickening her pace. However, if this status could save them both some trouble, that would naturally be good.
Furthermore, Qiu Wen had also learned about the people involved in this substitution of the prince, as well as the general situation in the capital afterwards.
In short, by not exposing this charade, the bad guys can continue to live a life of luxury.
After receiving Qiu Wen's approval, Bobo immediately had the letter sent out.
When the letter arrived in the capital, both Yinzhen and Yunrong read it.
Yunrong exclaimed, "These days, storybooks rarely have such bizarre tales. I never imagined that someone would dare to do it."
"You handle this matter as you see fit. Don't forget to give Faka some face. His ancestors were meritorious officials, and he's been relatively well-behaved."
The implication is that this matter should be handled discreetly, otherwise, if it escalates, the entire Niohuru clan will be thrown into turmoil.
This matter needs to be handled from the perspective of the inner quarters.
It's really unfortunate of Faka to say that he only had two sons, one not his own and one his own. But the other son's aunt was the culprit, and although his only son seemed to be raised well, his true character was not something to be proud of.
A few days later, Yunrong summoned Faka's wife to the palace for a talk.
Faka Fujin was also puzzled. She usually had a low profile among the wives of noble families, simply because she didn't have a child.
She came from a respectable family; she was from the Hesheli clan and the younger sister of the former empress. Although the Hesheli clan was not as powerful as before, the descendants of the four former regents were all like this, so Faka dared not mistreat her.
As for Aunt Hua, she naturally dared not do much. When Hesheli first married into the family, she was still naive and was secretly plotted against by Aunt Hua several times. Because of this, she was considered someone who couldn't even have children in Faka.
But later, Aunt Hua dared not do anything, and even tried her best to avoid her. She knew that even if Hesheli was gone, she could not become a Fujin (princess consort). When a young, beautiful, and fertile Fujin came in, her plans would be over.
Aside from not having children, her life wasn't too bad in the manor, but once she went out, she was looked down upon and talked about, so she simply lowered her profile.
Why did the Empress suddenly come after her?
Empress Hesheli entered the palace with a belly full of doubts.
Yunrong looked at Hesheli and knew her situation in the mansion beforehand. After exchanging pleasantries with her for a while, she said, "I called you here today for two reasons. First, to catch up with you. Second, there is something I need to tell you. It is a family matter, but it involves a murder case in Cangzhou, so I have to tell you about it."
Hesheli was completely confused. How did this involve a murder case?
"Your Majesty, please speak."
She was flustered, but she managed to stay calm for the time being. After all, if the outcome were bad, the Empress wouldn't have been chatting and laughing with her like that.
Yunrong said, "Speaking of which, it involves old matters. Back then, you probably hadn't entered the Niohuru Mansion yet. This matter has to start with the Fujin before Faka. Back then, due to some reasons, your eldest son gave birth in Cangzhou. Recently, a murder case in Cangzhou has implicated this matter. I have a testimony here. You'll understand after reading it."
As she spoke, Yunrong had someone bring up the testimony.
Hesheli realized that this matter had nothing to do with her, but it could be related to the eldest prince in the mansion.
To be honest, Hesheli couldn't quite explain how she felt about the child left behind by the former wife in the mansion. She harbored resentment, after all, because of his existence, she no longer had the right to be a mother, just because Faka was worried that if she had her own child, it would be bad for the previous child.
But later, watching the child being pushed step by step towards the abyss by Aunt Hua, she felt quite complicated. What had the child done wrong?
No matter how much resentment there was, nothing remained after all these years, only a numb heart, waiting to witness Faka's unbearable pain.
Thinking this, Hesheli checked the dossier and testimonies, and was stunned after reading them.
