Chapter 587 Wu Yanzhi breaks up with Liu Mingxin!
Liu Mingxin's face immediately turned ugly. If the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice intervened in this matter, even if it was finally found out that it had nothing to do with their family and was just an accident, it would still damage the reputation of their Liu family.
Wu Yanzhi wanted to have their family charged with murdering their daughter-in-law.
"Prime Minister, be careful with your words. If it was our Liu family who wanted to kill your daughter, why would we do it in our own home? If we do it in our own home, wouldn't it be hard to justify it?"
Wu Yanzhi thought about it and decided that he couldn't let the matter go easily.
"You and I are both officials of the imperial court, and we are also relatives. I naturally believe in the character of Lord Liu and his family. However, in order to prevent someone from trying to sow discord between our two families, this matter must be handled impartially."
Liu Mingxin looked a little ugly.
"This is a private matter between you and me. If you insist on bringing it to court, it will be bad for both our families!"
Wu Yanzhi said angrily, "Master Liu, please be careful with your words. If someone with ulterior motives hears this, they might think you are trying to destroy the evidence and cover up this matter."
"My daughter cannot die in vain. Even if it was an accident, I will find out the root cause. I will ask you to fix it firmly on the wall to avoid any more accidents in the future!"
Liu Mingxin's face became even uglier. If he continued to stop them, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
It would be better to just make the matter public. At most it would damage one's reputation, but it is better than being charged with murdering one's daughter-in-law.
"Okay, you and I will go to the Dali Temple together."
Wu Yanzhi was worried, so when he left, he asked his entourage to stay behind, saying that they should guard his daughter's body.
Soon the Dali Temple accepted the case.
Two giants in the court of the Great Zhou came to report the case. The dead was their common relative, and the death was incredible.
This matter was immediately reported to Shen Lanxi's desk.
Shen Lanxi: "Now, the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice will investigate this case together and give an explanation to the two families!"
"Also, before the case is fully investigated, let the two adults stay at home and work with the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to investigate the case together!"
Two decrees were issued in succession, and everyone knew what His Majesty meant.
It's simply because he was afraid that the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice could not suppress the two families, so he kept the two mountains at home. Once either family wanted to make trouble, they would have to consider the other party's official position.
Soon the incident spread, and some people spread rumors that Wu Yanzhi's daughter disrespected her mother-in-law after marrying into the Liu family, slept until noon every day, and treated the servants harshly, beating and scolding them. Some people also saw Wu Yanzhi's daughter scolding her husband in public, saying that she relied on her status as the prime minister's daughter to stir up trouble in the Liu family and do whatever she wanted.
Some people also said that the son of the Liu family not only often flirted with other girls outside, but also did not let go of the beautiful maids in the house. Wu Yanzhi's daughter in the capital was jealous of those girls, and the couple often fought over girls.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, the Wu family and the Liu family could never go back to the way they were before. Even superficial harmony was out of the question, and they broke up.
The matter on the Shen family also came to an end. Shen Yuanhe gave her dowry to the Wang family, and Shen Congwen subsidized the Wang family with a lot of money, in exchange for a divorce certificate.
This is what happened on the surface, but no one knows what was agreed upon in private.
Although Shen Yuanhe got the divorce as she wished, her reputation was ruined.
Now, her reputation and Shen Yuantang's reputation are as different as heaven and earth in the hearts of the people.
Because several daughters divorced and returned home one after another, the already bustling Shen family became even more overcrowded.
Fortunately, the yard that was reserved for them is still there, so the girls from the Shen family will not be left without a place to live after returning home.
The more people there are, the more friction there is.
Zhou Xinrou was preoccupied with other matters and had no intention of managing the household. Shen Yuantang saw the opportunity and asked his mother for the task of settling the women.
Naturally, Shen Yuantang started to make things difficult for them. He first deducted the monthly salary, then exempted the share, and then cut back on the food.
The girls from the Shen family who returned home had a lot of hardship, but fortunately they still had their mother to help them, unlike Shen Yuanhe, who had no one to herself, no mother, and was rejected by her father.
Fortunately, Shen Yuanrui returned home not long after.
"Sister, how about we go find grandma?" Shen Yuanrui looked quite comfortable with herself and the child, but if she brought Shen Yuanhe along, she seemed a little stretched.
"Don't go." Shen Yuanhe had already experienced the power of the mistress at home. She dared to say that if they went to disturb their elder sister because of such a trivial matter, the mistress would definitely not let them go.
"Sister, what are you afraid of?" Shen Yuanrui was puzzled.
Shen Yuanhe was now like a frightened bird, feeling that his every word and action was being watched. Even if he said something bad about his mistress, he would be pulled out and slapped.
"Just listen to me. I won't hurt you." She was frightened and ashamed and didn't want to say anything more.
After returning home, the daughters of the Shen family have to pay respects to their elders, visit several rooms, and give gifts to the elders and children in the family.
After all the excitement, Shen An fell ill again.
There was no improvement in the condition after several days, and the two elderly people in the third room almost turned gray with worry.
Fortunately, at this time, Shen Yuantang stood up, first scolded all the girls, and then asked someone to set up a separate yard for Shen An in the Shen family, and ordered everyone not to disturb him.
Shen An's condition improved, and upon seeing this, the two uncles and aunts from the third room directly asked Shen Yuantang to take care of Shen An.
Since Shen Yuantang couldn't recommend anyone else, he accepted it.
From then on, Shen An was legitimately taken care of by Shen Yuantang.
The other side
Huang Yu originally thought that it would be easy to capture Pan Yunshan, but when she actually arrived at Pan Yunshan, she realized that the bandits there were all desperate criminals who would risk their lives on the tip of a knife. She was discovered as soon as she set foot in Pan Yunshan.
Most of the secret guards she brought with her were killed in order to cover her escape.
She didn't want to escape back to the capital in disgrace, so she had to ask Zhou Xinrou for help.
"Princess, there is news from the young master."
In the middle of the night, the nanny suddenly woke Zhou Xinrou up.
"Read!" Zhou Xinrou was already awake before she even opened her eyes.
"The young lady encountered an ambush at Panyun Mountain. The bandits there were fierce and killed most of the people she brought with her."
Zhou Xinrou immediately stood up and sat up.
"Let her come back."
"The young master said she would not come back. She wanted to wipe out the bandits and take the position of deputy commander of the Beijing Guards."
Zhou Xinrou had a dark face and the air around her was as cold as an ice cellar.
“She doesn’t want to live anymore?”
"Princess, you know that the young master is very stubborn."
Zhou Xinrou took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart.
At this point, we can only use secret means.
"Let Qilian go."
"My lady, Qi Lian is on duty at this time. If he goes, I'm afraid his whereabouts will be exposed."
Zhou Xinrou: "I can't care about so much, the most important thing is to save Huang Yu first."
"yes!"
The message was sent out that night, and the next night, the deputy general of the city defense closest to Pan Yunshan, with a thousand soldiers and horses, quietly entered Pan Yunshan.
