Chapter 246 Everyone was shocked
Shen Yuanwei looked around.
Seeing Xie Chengyun lying on the back of the Dragon Scale Guard and staring at her without blinking, she shook her head implicitly.
Xie Chengyun pursed his lips and gave up the idea of testifying on behalf of his mother.
Shen Yuanwei knew very well that she couldn't let anyone know that Yun'er had overheard the conversation between Nanny Cui and Queen Mother Jiang.
If everyone knew that Yun'er overheard it, they would definitely think that she was the one who learned about it and then used the trick to harm Queen Mother Jiang...
The unintentional mistake caused Queen Mother Jiang to suffer the consequences of her own actions, and can be forgiven.
But he used the same trick to make the supreme Empress Dowager lose her virginity, which is an unforgivable crime.
Imperial power has always been so unreasonable.
It is said that thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. No matter how vicious and harsh the emperor and the empress dowager are to them, they have to endure it and thank God for the grace. If they retaliate against the royal family, they deserve to die.
After looking around, Shen Yuanwei shook her head and smiled bitterly at Xie Junlin.
"I really can't find any witnesses to prove my innocence, but Your Majesty, you don't have any evidence to prove that the Queen Mother was murdered by me—"
"Madame Cui, the person who knows the truth, is kneeling here. You haven't even asked her clearly what happened yet, so you must suspect me first?"
Her eyes were fixed on Xie Junlin.
"I am just glad at this moment. Fortunately, I am now a wife of the Xiao family. You at least gave me some face for your wife and didn't attack me directly..."
"If I had not left the palace that year, and I had stayed by your side and become your concubine, now that this had happened, would you have stabbed me through the heart with a sword, kicked me hard, and slapped me a few times?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Junlin frowned and scolded her coldly!
"Shen Yuanwei, you are so outrageous!"
Xie Junlin glanced at the child and angrily turned away!
"You are the most suspicious now. I have already saved your face by not having you arrested! You are ungrateful and are still making trouble here, saying these words to sow discord between me and the child. Do you really think I dare not touch you?"
Shen Yuanwei said nothing.
She knelt down and kowtowed, looking at Xie Chengyun and Xie Congyuan with tears in her eyes.
Both children looked at her with tears in their eyes.
In the past, they did not understand why their mother abandoned their father and them. Now, seeing their father being so ruthless to their mother in a rage...
They seemed to understand their mother a little.
If my mother stayed in the palace, I'm afraid she would really die like my mother said...
Father will kill mother...
Shen Yuanwei saw the tears of her two children as she wished, and she finally felt at ease knowing that they would no longer hate her for abandoning them.
She had to thank Queen Mother Jiang for giving her the opportunity to let her child completely understand her and feel sorry for her.
With tears in her eyes, she looked at the trembling and frightened Aunt Cui.
"Your Majesty, before you convict me, let's listen to Nanny Cui's account of what happened."
"She said that the Empress Dowager asked her to summon the Second Young Master Zhao, so she must have known about what happened tonight. Even if Your Majesty doesn't believe what she said, you should give her a chance to speak up, right? As for whether what she said is true or not, I think everyone can make their own judgment."
Shen Yuanwei stared into Nanny Cui's eyes and spoke slowly.
"Madame Cui——"
"The Queen Mother will be awake soon. If you don't hurry up and tell her everything, you may not have the chance to speak later."
“…”
Upon hearing this, Nanny Cui looked at Shen Yuanwei with a complicated expression.
She didn't know how Shen Yuanwei had managed to do all this tonight.
But she knew that Shen Yuanwei was right. When the empress dowager woke up, she would be the scapegoat and she would be dead.
Even though it would be unforgivable to tell it now, at least there is still a glimmer of hope...
Nanny Cui took a deep breath, then fell to the ground and told loudly what had happened.
"Your Majesty, it is true that the Empress Dowager asked me to find the Second Young Master Zhao, but the Empress Dowager did not intend to commit adultery with him!"
"The Queen Mother wants...she wants..."
Nanny Cui looked at Shen Yuanwei and spoke word by word under the gaze of everyone.
"She wants Mr. Zhao to ruin Madam Xiao."
Everyone was shocked to hear this.
No one had expected that the affair between the Queen Mother and the Second Young Master Zhao would actually involve Madam Xiao!
Everyone stared at Shen Yuanwei.
They couldn't understand how the Queen Mother could be so vicious. How could she find a notorious playboy to abuse her former daughter-in-law? How could she bear to let the mother of her own grandson be abused and humiliated by an outsider?
Shen Yuanwei also raised her head suddenly and looked extremely shocked.
"What……"
She was extremely surprised.
She covered her heart with her fingers and trembled, "Madame Cui, what did you say? Did you say that the Queen Mother wanted to harm me tonight?"
She shook her head and trembled, "This shouldn't be the case. After all, she and I have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for a year. I have called her mother for a year. Even if I am not in the palace now, I am still the mother of her grandson, right? She let someone abuse me. Has she ever thought about how the two princes will live in the future after this incident?"
She pointed at the two princes and choked up, "No, I don't believe it. No matter how much the Queen Mother hates me, she can't ignore her two grandsons, right? How could she let the biological mother of the two children be abused at the palace banquet, witnessed by so many people? How could she let the two children be stabbed in the back in the future?"
Xie Junlin was also shocked.
He thought it was Shen Yuanwei who harmed his mother, but Nanny Cui actually said that it was his mother who wanted to harm Shen Yuanwei!
how so?
He stepped forward, pointed at Madam Cui and said sternly, "How dare you! Do you know what you are saying? If you frame and slander the Empress Dowager, I can kill your entire family!"
Aunt Cui kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, I have not lied. Everything I said is true!"
She spilled the beans from a bamboo tube, telling him everything quickly.
"In fact, the Queen Mother originally wanted to make Madam Xiao and His Royal Highness Prince Rui have a good thing tonight!"
"The queen found out that His Royal Highness Prince Rui was deeply in love with Madam Xiao and would not marry anyone else, so she wanted to help her youngest son!"
"She asked me to buy some strong medicine long ago, and then told me to take Madam Xiao to the garden tonight to have a done deal with His Royal Highness Prince Rui—"
"But who knew that before the banquet started, the Queen suddenly discovered that His Royal Highness Prince Rui seemed to have let go of Madam Xiao and seemed willing to choose another lady from a noble family as his wife. The Queen was overjoyed!"
"She said that she hated Madam Xiao to the extreme. Madam Xiao was not innocent and was not worthy of her innocent son. As long as her son was willing to let Madam Xiao go, why would she let Madam Xiao defile her son?"
"I thought the queen was going to cancel her plans for tonight, but she sat there stroking her chest, her eyes becoming more and more vicious."
"She seemed to have thought of the time when Madam Xiao stabbed her in the heart. She hated Madam Xiao so much that she ordered the servants to find a wretched, ugly, and greasy playboy to rape Madam Xiao. Then she would lead the civil and military officials to catch the adulterer and slander Madam Xiao for being fickle and having an affair at the palace banquet. Then she would force Madam Xiao to die..."
