This move can be made in any way.
Liu died, and her death was so tragic.
Even if Yan Nangui is confined to his home, he can still accomplish this task.
She did 80% of the work; she should ask His Highness the Crown Prince to do the rest for her.
Shu Chengfeng was pleased to see it succeed.
The Meng family is the eldest princess's money bag. Given enough time, who knows if the eldest princess won't help the second son?
What if her youngest daughter cannot marry the twelfth prince? Or what if the situation changes in a few years?
Therefore, dealing with the Meng family now is not a bad thing.
It's impossible to overwhelm them in one fell swoop; after all, the Meng family didn't give away so much money to the Second Prince for nothing.
He would protect the Meng family no matter what, but it wouldn't be difficult for him to bring Meng Junxian and Yan Jinsi's relationship to a freezing point.
Or rather, it wouldn't be difficult to get Yan Jinsi to break ties with her mother.
These things may seem trivial, but who knows what use they might be in the future?
Besides, his beloved Yan Liangyuan was finally going to have a good time, so he had to help her no matter what.
So, Liu's brother received one sum of money, but another sum was still pending. He didn't know who had paid it, but he didn't care.
With the money, he could leave the capital and live a good life.
Anyway, the capital city is just like that, not easy to make a living. Might as well go south.
He had no feelings for his sister, of course; she became a concubine in the Meng family, but he received no benefits from her.
Now that we have it, shouldn't we seize the opportunity to squeeze some money out of them?
Inside the Jingzhao Yi Yamen (prefectural government office), Liu cried uncontrollably, repeatedly accusing the Meng family of disregarding human life.
He abused his concubine until she was killed.
He wouldn't even admit it was suicide; he just insisted that the mistress murdered him.
Liao Jing, the prefect of Jingzhao, was the top scholar in the eleventh year of Jingxun's reign. Because of his outstanding talent, he had never been to any local area.
I have been doing this job as the Prefect of Jingzhao for seven years now.
Although he is not very old, he is truly an incorruptible and impartial person.
After all, if you're always afraid of the position of Prefect of the Capital, you won't last long.
In the capital, it's like if a brick falls from the sky, it'll land on a servant in the home of a royal or noble family.
The Meng family, in this situation, can be considered both well-off and poorly-off.
It's nothing more than their family getting involved with a princess.
However, now that this murder case has been brought to the table, even if he doesn't dare offend the eldest princess, the Meng family will still investigate.
The Meng family went to the Second Prince immediately, and the Second Prince indeed sent someone to the Jingzhao Prefecture. It was fine to just give a heads-up, but it was definitely not acceptable to block them from investigating.
Therefore, the Prefect of the Capital still had to take people to visit the Meng family.
Once she left, Liu's body could no longer be hidden.
Although the maid who served her managed to get someone to carry her back, the household was in a state of chaos because of Yan Jinsi's miscarriage and was worried about the Jingzhao Yi causing trouble, so they didn't even change her clothes.
Upon seeing this, Liu Da burst into tears.
Liu Da was a terrible person, but his wife was still somewhat sensible and burst into tears.
Together with the maid, they first changed Liu into a decent outfit before calling the coroner to examine her.
Anyway, this person will lose all dignity after death, so let's try to make things as good as possible.
The coroner would have to remove the clothes anyway, but he'd leave out the vital areas. The person was already dead. That fatal wound on the neck was obvious at a glance.
It was suicide.
However, the coroner did not say it directly, but only came out after examining the limbs and waist.
"Sir, this Liu... perhaps we should take her back to the yamen for further examination."
"How should I put it?" Lord Liao was at a loss.
"At first glance, the wound on the neck appears to be from suicide, but this Liu... as a concubine in the household, she shouldn't be covered in injuries," the coroner said.
"Ah? That damned Meng family! They don't treat their concubines like human beings!" Liu Da cried again upon hearing this.
Sister-in-law Liu nodded in agreement: "The coroner is right, she really is covered in bruises, it's so painful. Even though my sister-in-law was sold into the Meng family, she's still a person..."
The maid knew perfectly well that Liu had hit the car herself before the accident.
She was determined to die... and wanted to drag the Meng family down with her; in fact, she wanted to kill Yan Jinsi.
Unfortunately, she lacked the strength and failed to succeed. It can only be said that Yan Jinsi suffered a miscarriage.
Liao Jing nodded upon hearing this. Since the cause of death was questionable, they should naturally be taken back.
The Meng family, of course, wouldn't allow it; both the old lady and Meng Junxian tried to stop them. They pleaded with them to no avail.
It's simply because she was, after all, a concubine in the household; how could she be taken to the yamen (government office) so easily?
However, the law of the land is in effect, and the Meng family ultimately couldn't stop them.
In just half a day, news spread that the Meng family had abused and killed their concubine, and that the Meng family had persecuted the concubine together with Yan Jinsi.
Yan Jinsi herself lost her child for no reason, yet now no one seems to think she's been wronged.
After all, even if it is a legitimate heir, a child who has not yet been formed and a life, the legitimate heir is more important when the door is closed, but when the door is open, it is the other way around.
Yan Nangui no longer cares about right and wrong; how far things will escalate depends on the Meng family's abilities.
She was going to carry it on her back.
She really wanted to see the original owner's biological father, the man whose name was Lan Shi and who made Princess Rongning willing to be his concubine.
After all, in the original owner's memory, he was a person filled with expectation and some hatred.
That's not objective.
On the first day of the fourth month, before dawn, they bid farewell to the Crown Princess in the main courtyard. The four of them then went out together.
The Crown Prince has already entered the palace; he walked out of the palace with His Majesty.
Although the group left early, they had to wait outside the city until His Majesty's appointed time to go out together.
So Yan Nangui slept directly in the carriage.
She has two carriages, one for passengers and the other for carrying things.
In the end, the plug still came out.
The carriage swayed and rocked, but it wasn't cold, so it was a good place to sleep.
"You guys should take a nap too. You won't leave until 9 AM, it's still early," Yan Nangui yawned.
She had taken off all her jewelry and was just lying there comfortably, since she was on her way and wouldn't see anyone anyway.
As for the Crown Prince, if he has time to come over.
We're on the same side, it's okay.
His Majesty probably meant that he wanted to bring all his sons out, rather than guarding against the Crown Prince, so a group of princes, from the Second Prince to the Twelfth Prince, were all present.
So there was a very long queue, and it was quite lively.
Yan Nangui and his carriage were closer to the front, and had just stopped where they were waiting for His Majesty.
Some of the women got out of the car to get some fresh air, but most of them stayed in the car to catch up on sleep, since they had gotten up so early.
Of course, this is just Yan Nangui's opinion. Whether they're all catching up on sleep is hard to say.
Finally, it was time for His Majesty to leave the city. There was no need for everyone to get out of their carriages to pay their respects. They simply waited until His Majesty's carriages had moved ahead before following in turn.
Because the line was so long, it was already noon by the time they got up again.
Don't even think about eating properly during the day; just make do with whatever you can find.
Fortunately, the Crown Prince's entourage had a cook in their carriages, and naturally brought a flatbed carriage for boiling water, so there was no worry about the supply of hot water.
