Chapter 924: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 66
Zhou Wang didn't want to die, he was still counting on Mrs. Dong to promote him.
He was not appreciated by his master in Yuhua Courtyard, so he took benefits from Madam Dong. Madam Dong gave him too much, and he thought that if he did this for Madam Dong, he would be able to live a rich life in the future.
The Duke will definitely deal with the servants involved in this matter. At worst, they will be sold or sent to the farm. As long as Madam Dong can promote him, he is not afraid of having a hard life.
But if a person dies, no amount of money will be of any use!
Zhou Wang kowtowed and said anxiously, "I have already burned it all! I don't know why I found the rice paper. Madam, please spare my life! I was just following your orders! You promised to save my life, you can't go back on your word!"
Madam Dong was so angry that she was shaking. She said angrily, "You are a servant of Yuhuayuan. What does it have to do with me? If you keep talking nonsense, I will cut off your tongue!"
"Can'er is my flesh and blood. How could I bear to hurt Can'er? Yun Ye, it's not enough that you have harmed Can'er. You also ordered this cunning slave to frame me."
"Master, no matter what, this man is also a servant of Yuhuayuan. How could he frame me? Such a cunning servant deserves death!"
Aunt Qiu scolded with a stern face: "Zhou Wang, you still don't know your crime? It doesn't matter if you die, but you dare to frame Madam. Aren't you afraid of implicating your family?"
Zhou Wang was not very loyal to Madam Dong to begin with, he only gathered with her for profit. In order to make Madam Dong feel at ease to use him, he voluntarily sent his lover to Madam Dong. Only then was he controlled by Madam Dong and received a generous reward from her and did things for her.
He was an orphan and he really liked that woman, but no matter how much he loved her, she was not as important as his own life.
Mrs. Dong was determined to kill him. If he didn't want to die, he had to find another way to survive.
Zhou Wang kowtowed and betrayed Madam Dong immediately, "Please spare my life, Lord! It was Madam who forced me to do this! Madam captured Wu Niang and forced me to do things for her, otherwise she would kill Wu Niang."
"I purposely stood guard at the door of the storehouse and got this job. I replaced the poisoned rice paper and sent it to Cuishan Courtyard. Cuiwei would hint to the Second Young Master that he should use it tonight. The Second Young Master would definitely be poisoned. If he makes a fuss, the Young Master would not be able to explain himself even if he is right."
"If you don't believe me, go ahead and check. Wu Niang is in Madam's hands. I dare not disobey you. I am also forced to do so. I beg you to have mercy and spare my life."
Mrs. Dong was a little panicked. Naturally, she refused to admit it and ordered her men to drag Zhou Wang out and beat him to death with sticks!
Ji Yunhuan was a little surprised. She had always thought that Zhou Wang loved Wu Niang deeply. She had also found out where Wu Niang was and was ready to find a chance to save her, so that Zhou Wang would identify Mrs. Dong.
Now things are much easier. Mrs. Dong was anxious to silence the witness, but Zhou Wang gave her away instead. Everyone is happy.
Zhou Wang always acted like he was deeply in love with Wu Niang, and even let Wu Niang manage his money. It turned out that he was just using Wu Niang as a pawn, and not only deceived Madam Dong, he even deceived her when she was investigating privately.
Yun Ting slammed the table and said angrily: "Drag him out and keep him under strict supervision. Don't let him commit suicide."
Zhou Wang kowtowed to express his gratitude. He knew that his life was saved. As long as the Duke found out that he was forced, he would not take his life.
Madam Dong's face turned pale, and she said sadly, "My Lord, I didn't do that. This cunning servant is talking nonsense. How could I possibly harm my own child?"
Yun Ting looked angry, but he was actually relieved in his heart. Fortunately, it was not Ye'er who did it.
He had feelings for Mrs. Dong. He was not a piece of wood. Mrs. Dong had served him wholeheartedly for more than ten years, and he had also given Mrs. Dong the glory and honor she deserved.
But Mrs. Dong harmed his two children, falsely accusing the older one and poisoning the younger one. If it was really Mrs. Dong who did it, he could no longer keep Mrs. Dong.
"Madam, please stand up. Kneeling is harmful to your health. Since it is just the slave who spoke nonsense, I will punish him after I find out the truth. I will never wrongly accuse you, Madam."
Mrs. Dong bit her lip and stood up. She would never let Yun Ting find out the truth. As long as there was no solid evidence, Yun Ting could not divorce her with the support of the Dong family!
She still has a chance, she is not at the end of her rope yet!
Nie Caixing entered the room and bowed to Yun Ting, "I didn't want to disturb the Duke in the middle of the night, but since everyone is here, there is no need to wait until tomorrow. Let's just check it out now."
"I caught a monk who was cheating people and tricked him into my shop. I wanted to send him to the authorities for investigation, but when I asked him questions, he revealed a lot of information, including that related to Madam Dong. So I had no choice but to bring him back."
Master Lingbao was pushed in, tied up. He didn't have any wounds on his body, but he had been tortured by the people in the martial arts hall and was scared. There was no need to ask more questions, he just told everything like pouring beans.
"I am just a liar! I am not a master at all. I am from the same school as Master Ci'an of Gaota Temple, but I was expelled from the school a long time ago. It's even better to be expelled from the school. I rely on the skills I learned to coax and scare people, and those ladies rush to give me money."
"Mrs. Dong is very superstitious. I used some tricks and she believed me. She offered me sacrifices every month and asked me to curse the prince of the Duke's Mansion. I didn't have the courage to do that, so I just performed a random ritual and said it would take effect in three days. In fact, she just wanted to make a fortune and run away quickly."
"I made too much money from this. When I left Shangjing City, I would be far away from home and no one would recognize me. I could continue to make money by changing my appearance! But the prince suddenly fell into a coma. Madam Dong was overjoyed and gave me another reward. I was greedy, so I thought of cheating him again."
"Madam Dong asked me to calculate his horoscope. I am the best at observing people's expressions, so I naturally said what Madam Dong wanted. In front of all the ladies, I said that the prince's horoscope was peculiar and he was not suitable to marry a noble lady. He should find someone from a small family."
"The Ji family has two girls, one is vicious and the other is cowardly. No matter which one you marry, you will never have peace. I said that both of them are good and coaxed Madam Dong to give more money. Suddenly, the prince woke up. I made up a random excuse to fool him, saying that the curse was invalid and I wanted to do it again. Madam Dong was tempted again and wanted to curse him again."
"She might be afraid of cursing the immortal prince, so she wanted to frame him. I helped her make poisonous rice paper and planned it carefully. She wanted to harm people, and I wanted to cheat money. Even if she failed, she would not dare to report me to the police. There is no better way to make money in the world than this."
Mrs. Dong was completely panicked. She had taken every precaution, but she didn't expect Lingbao to be captured!
She had always believed that Lingbao had real abilities, the ability to fly over eaves and walls, and kill people in dreams. How could such a powerful person be caught by a mortal?
Seeing Mrs. Dong's reaction, Yun Ting understood everything. He always thought that Mrs. Dong was just doting on her child, but in fact, she just wanted to deliberately ruin Yun Ye and provoke Yun Ye to go against him.
He was busy with official duties and had to leave Yun Ye to the care of Mrs. Dong. It was his dereliction of duty as a father. Fortunately, Yun Ye was smart and passed the military examination despite his carefree attitude. He did not grow up to be a bad person and never had the intention of harming anyone.
Yun Ting sighed deeply, "Dong Hui, I was wrong. It turns out that people can really act for more than ten years. If you hadn't been exposed today, you could have acted for a lifetime!"
"You are so terrible that you can even kill your own son. I can't keep you here."
