“When your maternal grandfather was accused of treason, I did not believe it and pleaded for him, but my father ignored me. Later, the Ministry of Justice found evidence of his treason in the Marquis of Anle’s residence. I wanted to review the evidence, but my father still refused.”
"In the end, the entire Anle Marquis family was imprisoned. I went to the prison under cover of night, and the Anle Marquis said he was innocent..."
Su Wenyuan looked at him incredulously. What did he mean by that?
"I was young, and then something unexpected happened, so no one knows about this matter. If you are willing to stay, I will help you investigate, but I may not be able to find out." Sheng Jingyu offered a huge temptation.
Today he finally realized what was happening, so he stopped Su Wenyuan in time.
If you don't react in time next time, something bad might happen.
Su Wenyuan was still in shock. What was going on? Marquis Anle had not betrayed the country?
Now her burden was even heavier. She had taken over the original owner's body and was spending her mother's dowry, which was prepared by Marquis Anle for his only daughter.
Suddenly, Su Wenyuan's heart clenched, and she felt a little breathless.
"I'll go call Hua Ling!" Ye Shan saw that something was wrong with her and quickly ran out.
Su Wenyuan was helped to a side room, struggling to breathe, her heart feeling as if it were being squeezed, every breath a precious gift.
Su Wenyuan was much better when Hua Ling arrived; her back was covered in cold sweat and her face was deathly pale.
If Marquis Anle had not rebelled, her mother would not have been demoted to a concubine, nor would she have committed suicide, and Su Wenyuan's many years of misery would not have happened.
She will have a good background and a strong support system, and she will have a grand wedding.
But all of this was ruined by a false charge of treason.
The entire Anlehou clan also died for this crime!
Although Marquis Anle only had one daughter, he had brothers and sisters. None of the collateral relatives were spared; from the oldest to the youngest, they were all beheaded.
Su Wenyuan became increasingly upset, and she didn't hear a word Hua Ling said.
"You have too much of a temper. Try to control it. I'll give you a few acupuncture needles, but try not to get angry in the future," Hua Ling said as she removed the needles.
Sheng Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief; he hadn't expected Su Wenyuan's reaction to be so strong.
He simply felt that since the two were married and Su Wenyuan was at odds with the Prime Minister's family, she should be told about her mother's affairs.
After Hua Ling applied a few needles, Su Wenyuan no longer felt anything unusual and was completely revived.
She also secretly promised herself that she would definitely investigate the matter of the Marquis of Anle's mansion thoroughly.
Whoever did it will have to pay the price.
"I can stay, but don't forget what you promised me." Su Wenyuan got up and left; she needed to rest.
This near-death experience left her completely drained of strength.
Sheng Jingyu said, "As I said, it's not certain that we can find out, and the treason charge may not be true."
"I know, just do my best. As long as I do my best, I'll have done right by everyone." Su Wenyuan walked out.
But halfway there, she remembered why she had come to find Sheng Jingyu.
"Meng Qi, go and tell your prince that no matter what relationship he had with Lu Wanying in the past, I don't want him to be entangled with Lu Wanying in the future. Open your eyes and don't make a fool of yourself." Su Wenyuan's attitude was not very good.
It wasn't that it was targeting Sheng Jingyu; I just didn't have the energy to be tactful.
Meng Qi relayed the message to Sheng Jingyu, who was completely bewildered. Why was it Lu Wanying again? They didn't have any connection.
"Today at the restaurant, the Princess ran into Miss Lu, and some unpleasant things happened. The Princess even slapped her. It all started because Miss Lu spoke ill of the Princess first..."
Meng Qi recounted what had happened that day, but he didn't hear the few words the two whispered to each other.
"Anyway, after Miss Lu finished speaking, the princess's expression suddenly changed, and she slapped her. Before leaving, the princess said, 'With your status, what right do you have to look down on him?' And she reminded her to remember to bow next time."
After Meng Qi finished speaking, he stood aside and observed Sheng Jingyu's expression.
Sheng Jingyu suddenly smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Go and tell the kitchen to make some of the Princess's favorite dishes for dinner. The Princess is in a bad mood."
After Meng Qi left, Ye Shan asked, "Whether Marquis Anle has committed treason or not, Your Highness only has doubts. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble by telling the Princess so directly?"
Sheng Jingyu thought for a moment and said, "Such doubts are not unique to me. It's just that no one has been able to find an opportunity, and no one has dared to bring it up for so many years. Marquis Anle is her maternal grandfather. Perhaps she has a way to bring this matter back to the forefront."
Ye Shan was still worried, but since Sheng Jingyu had already spoken, she couldn't say anything more.
"Don't worry, she won't be so foolish as to make trouble without evidence. That won't help in finding the truth. Go and investigate Lu Wanying again, and also investigate what she has been doing outside the capital all these years," Sheng Jingyu instructed.
He had no impression of Lu Wanying, let alone any relationship with her.
Even if he said that, Su Wenyuan might not believe him.
Let Ye Shan investigate thoroughly and then hand it over to Su Wenyuan.
As for the conflict between the two at the restaurant, Meng Qi only heard the gist of it, but that gist was enough for Sheng Jingyu to deduce the truth.
When he was still blind, he was surrounded by many "good people," but these people all disappeared after he went blind.
The reason is self-evident. Sheng Jingyu also wanted to see how these people would react when the news that he was not blind got out.
In Zhuyue Pavilion, Su Wenyuan lay on the bed, processing the information she had just heard.
This matter is not mentioned in the book. Did Marquis Anle really betray his country?
If it's fake, where did the evidence come from, and who made it? Did the Emperor truly believe the evidence, or did he simply accept it because of its authenticity?
A series of questions made her head feel like it was going to explode.
Yuexiu secretly entered the room, genuinely worried about Su Wenyuan's health.
Su Wenyuan was also awake, and asked in a low voice, "Yuexiu, do you still remember my mother?"
Yuexiu was initially flustered, glancing around in alarm before smiling wryly, "I forgot we were at Prince Chen's residence; I thought it was the Prime Minister's residence."
“I remember, Wang forbade me from mentioning it, and also forbade anyone else from mentioning it.” Su Wenyuan’s face was cold.
This is one of the few things in her memory that are related to her mother.
Perhaps because the original owner deliberately avoided it, she really didn't have many memories of the Marquis of Anle's mansion and her mother.
Even his appearance is blurry; what I remember most vividly is the beating he received from Wang.
She was severely beaten because she inadvertently mentioned her mother when she was young.
Su Wenyuan grew increasingly angry as she thought about it, and sat up to ask, "Is there nothing in the Prime Minister's residence that is related to my mother?"
Yuexiu shook her head and said, "I don't know."
The only place they could move around was that inconspicuous, dilapidated courtyard; they had never been to any other part of the mansion.
"Go and see for yourself!"
