Chapter 519 Aunt Liu Sold Tao Yiran
The old lady and the empress dowager had some affection for each other. When the old marquis was away fighting in the battlefield, the empress dowager took extra care of her, and she always regarded the empress dowager as her greatest reliance.
"This is what the Marquis said himself, so I think it is true."
Wang sighed, "The last time I saw the Queen Mother, she was in good spirits. It's really surprising that she suddenly became seriously ill."
"I didn't tell mother because I knew that mother had a special affection for the Empress Dowager, and I was afraid that you would worry and hurt yourself."
"Mother, please don't be too sad."
The old lady pressed her eye sockets with a handkerchief and said that she had a collection of rare ginseng that could be sent to the palace. Wang refused her, saying that the emperor had not mentioned this matter and probably did not want other families to know about it. No one had ever sent anything to the palace, so naturally their mansion could not send anything.
"The eldest brother's wife's temper"
Wang said it was hard to comment, and added that she had gone out frequently before, mostly to watch operas, and she had never invited anyone else, just by herself. "I thought she had invited someone, so I couldn't say anything, but she went out to watch operas every day and didn't care about the children, which was really outrageous, so I banned her from going out."
What can the old lady say?
She wanted to promote Tao Yiran, but she was powerless because she didn't live up to her expectations.
After preparing the old lady for the occasion, Wang got up when she saw that it was almost time and said that she wanted to go see Chunlang.
The old lady nodded. She was helpless and couldn't help but regret in her heart again. How great it would have been if there had been no exchange marriage. Xin An would go out to build connections for the eldest son and take care of the house; as the second son's wife, Tao Yiran wouldn't have to worry about anything. She could go out to worship Buddha or listen to opera as she pleased.
"After all, it's fate that makes people play tricks on them."
Seeing that she was about to overthink it, Gan Lu hurriedly said that there were many new flowers and plants in the yard, "The Second Young Master's wife paid for them herself, and many of them are rare and valuable. The weather is good today, why don't you go and take a look?"
Before the old lady could speak, Ganlu came forward to help her up. "I asked the stove to prepare a pot and put it in the yard at noon. It will also be quite interesting."
The old lady was helplessly supported by her and went out of the door. The sunshine shone on her body, and her mood inexplicably improved a lot.
In the front yard, Aunt Liu knelt in front of Wang and sold Tao Yiran without reservation, only begging Wang to save her life.
"What did you say, sterilization?"
Wang was quite surprised. She only knew that Tao Yiran was stupid, but she didn't expect that she was so poisonous. Since Aunt Liu was here, she didn't think of hiding it anymore. She knelt on the ground and said, "After Aunt Wei came in, the eldest young master's wife gave her a decoction. The medicine doesn't affect a woman's pregnancy, but no matter how many times she gets pregnant, she can't give birth."
"Later, the eldest young lady learned that the prince had acquired a few more beauties while in office. In order to avoid future troubles, she added medicine into the honey apricots she sent to the prince. The medicine would destroy the man's foundation and prevent him from having children."
Wang did not feel happy or gloating, but was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. This vicious woman was really cruel. Fortunately, she did not marry his son. How could anything good happen if she got involved with her?
"Where did the medicine come from?"
Aunt Liu gritted her teeth and said, "The eldest young lady made the request, and Madam Tao prepared it."
"When Master Nuer and Concubine Yu suddenly fell ill, it was because the eldest young lady's wife used medicine to control Concubine Yu."
Wang had doubts about this matter at the time, but did not investigate it further. She took a deep breath when she learned the truth.
"When did her affair with the Prince of Nanguang begin?"
Wang's words made Aunt Liu feel that it was the right step to take. The Madam really already knew about it, but the reason she hadn't taken any action yet was probably because she was still waiting for something.
So she told Wang everything about Tao Yiran and Prince Nanguang, but because Tao Yiran didn't trust her much recently, she didn't know the details. But that didn't stop her from telling Wang about Zhu You and Master Xu, and she also mentioned a few people that even Xin An and Tang Mo didn't know about, who Tao Yiran had hooked up with before she got married.
After everything that needed to be explained was said, Wang looked at Aunt Liu and said, "You shouldn't stay any longer. Go back."
Aunt Liu said so much just to get Wang's protection. She was inevitably uneasy without a definite answer. Wang said, "Go back and keep an eye on her. If you are willing to tell her everything, I will save your life."
"Please, Madam, save my family. If Madam Tao finds out that I betrayed the eldest young master's wife, my husband and daughter will not have a good ending."
As for the dowry, the whole family should have come, but the Tao family separated them alive, which is really hateful.
"In this case, I will let you go back to the Tao family once. You can decide what to do. After the matter is completed, I will return your indenture contract and let you leave."
Her indenture was still in Tao Yiran's hands, but it was obvious that Tao Yiran could not keep it.
"Go ahead."
Aunt Liu thanked him profusely, kowtowed three times, stood up, dusted off her clothes, adjusted herself, left the mansion as if nothing had happened, and went back to the Tao family.
Wang sat for a long time, and exhaled a long breath. If Tao Yiran's cheating made Tang Gang so angry that he wanted her dead, but if he knew that his precious son had been abolished, I wonder if he could still hold on? Slow down, the blow he gave him in the past two days was too great, wait for him to recuperate for two days before telling him.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
I walked out and stood under the eaves, raised my hand to look at the sky, and felt that the sunshine today was really good, the sky was really blue, and my mood was particularly good.
"Tell the people in the kitchen that the Marquis has been tired these days. Go to the herbal medicine shop and order a pot of soup for the Marquis to nourish him."
She has always been a considerate person.
The person who was being cared for was now standing outside the imperial study waiting. He had just reported to the emperor in detail yesterday on the progress of the Pingshun Marquis case. Today the emperor summoned him again. Tang Gang felt a little uneasy, worried that the book found by Liao Zhi might record something unfavorable to him.
You have to know that the Marquis of Pingshun was not as tough as imagined. He didn't let Liao Zhi wait any longer before he told him the location of the booklet. Liao Zhi went to the Marquis's house overnight and found a large box from the dark room. There were six booklets neatly arranged in the box. Opening any of them would reveal all kinds of shady secrets.
Everyone inside and outside was Liao Zhi's man. When they were interested, they would randomly open a book and start reading. They would tell about whose son was not their own, who was corrupt, who killed people secretly, and even who stole the fame of others. The most cases were in the Duke of Enguo's Mansion. I wonder if the emperor would fall down after reading all these stories.
It only took him two incense sticks to glance through the books, put them back into the box, had someone seal it, and asked someone to guard it. Then he went back home, changed his clothes, and went to court.
At this moment, the box had been opened. The emperor was looking through it with a frown on his face and anger in his eyes.
He looked up at Liao Zhi and asked, "Have you seen these things?"
Liao Zhi bowed and said, "Look through the first page to confirm its authenticity."
The emperor didn't believe him. This ghost was the most cunning and he hated the generals who had brains. "How do you think we should deal with it?"
Liao Zhi didn't say anything. The emperor put down the book and said, "I forgive you for being innocent. Speak."
