Qing Wu stood on the carriage, waving the whip around her hand and said, "You keep saying you're here to catch a thief?"
"Princess Xu doesn't want to be blamed, so now that everyone is here, let's see if there is really a thief hiding in my carriage!"
The car curtain was lifted, revealing the people inside.
Mu Ying had been tidied up and didn't look as disheveled anymore, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was unconscious.
When the old woman and others saw Mu Ying, their hearts sank again.
Qing Wu sneered: "Aren't you here to catch a thief? Tell me, who is the thief in the carriage?"
The old woman was so frightened that she was shaking all over, but the current situation did not allow her to think. She could only blame herself for being blind and not realizing that it was the carriage and horses from Prince Yan's palace.
She hated Mu Ying even more in her heart. How did this crazy woman end up in Prince Yan's mansion?
The old woman had just said that they were catching a thief, and Mu Ying was right in front of her. If she changed her words, she would be contradicting herself. She could only bite the bullet and say:
"Princess, please forgive me. I was blind and offended you just now."
"Please be magnanimous and don't bother with me, but the crazy woman in the carriage is definitely a thief!"
"Please open the door, Princess, and allow us to take this thief away. Not only does she steal things, but when she gets mad, she can hurt people."
When Qing Wu heard her calling her a mad woman on the left and a thief on the right, she became furious.
"You are so brave!"
The woman shouted, her eyes flashing like lightning: "She is Mu Ying, the daughter of the Mu family. She is obviously your mistress. You evil slave, not only did you kill your master, but you also dared to deceive her!"
The old woman was struck by lightning and tried to argue: "How can a mad woman like her be the mistress of my house? Princess, please don't be fooled by her!"
Obviously, Mu Ying was so crazy that she couldn't recognize people. She had been locked up in the mansion for so many years. Not many people in the capital knew her. How could her words be seen through? !
"Okay, then why not invite your Minister Wang to come over and see if he knows who his wife is!"
The old woman was so frightened that her face turned pale. Before she could make any more excuses, the guards behind her kowtowed repeatedly in fear, muttering:
"Princess, please spare me. That is indeed my wife!"
"She is insane, and the disappearance of the young master has stimulated her to become ill. We are all out to look for her. We have no intention of deceiving the master. All this is just nonsense made up by Mrs. Zhang—"
How could the people around not understand when they heard this?
"I've heard of slaves bullying their masters, but I've never seen such a rampant slave who actually slandered his master as a thief."
"What does Minister Wang do for a living? Doesn't he know that his wife was bullied like this by the servants?"
"Why would the wife of a minister go crazy? Maybe she was abused at home!"
"Yes, if it is true that my wife is ill and ran away, then just say it clearly. If you deliberately cover it up, I am afraid there is something else going on with the illness of this assistant minister's wife."
Qing Wu threw away the whip, and without looking at the people who were knelt and begged for mercy, she looked at Xiao Chenyan:
"Your Highness, anyone can accuse us of harboring thieves right now. We can't just let this go!"
"And this lady of the Minister's Household is an important witness."
"I see that the Minister's mansion is in a mess. The servants dare to bully the master. If we let them take people away, if someone dies, I'm afraid they will throw a basin of dirty water on us again!"
Xiao Chenyan was not prepared to stand idly by.
He had met Mu Ying in the past, although they did not have much friendship, but just because she was the niece of the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo and the cousin of Xiaodou, Xiao Chenyan was willing to make a move.
"Give these wicked slaves forty lashes and throw them to the residence of Minister Xi."
"As for this woman."
Xiao Chenyan glanced at him and said, "After beating him, take him to the Prince's Palace for a thorough interrogation."
The old woman was so frightened as if struck by lightning that she almost fainted on the spot.
"Your Majesty." Qing Wu spoke again: "Let's report it to the police. Madam Mu still has a lot of injuries on her body. This matter must be filed to avoid being wrongly accused later."
"What the princess said makes sense."
Xiao Chenyan looked at her.
The news of this excitement soon spread throughout the capital.
The old woman and the guard were forced to be beaten with a stick in the street. Qing Wu took them to Prince Mu Ying's palace for treatment on legitimate grounds.
The Minister's Mansion wants to come again to ask for someone?
Oh, when the head of the family has been abused like this, even if they have the nerve to come, Qing Wu can find all kinds of reasons to turn them away.
Since Minister Wang is shameless, Qing Wu will tear his face off!
With Mu Ying in the carriage, Xiao Chenyan naturally couldn't get on the carriage. He just rode the horse back to the palace, which inevitably moved a part of his body that had just been severely injured, and veins popped out on his forehead.
Also, because of Mu Ying's matter, the memories of the past were brought back, and Xiao Chenyan was shrouded in a layer of solemn and murderous aura.
After arriving at the palace, the doctor from the palace was sent to see Mu Ying.
Qing Wu watched the doctor remove more than a dozen soft needles as thin as hair from Mu Ying's wrists and ankles.
As the needles were removed one by one, Mu Ying was convulsing in pain. After taking some tranquilizers, he fell into a deep sleep.
A group of people went to the yard to talk.
Qing Wu: "Did that old woman get anything out of you?"
After the old woman was beaten with a stick, she was dragged to the palace, and under torture, she confessed everything.
Lu Qiao: "That woman admitted that she was following the orders of Minister Wang's first wife, Mrs. Zhou..."
"Wait a minute," Qing Wu interrupted, "Isn't Madam Mu the legal wife?"
"You may not know, Princess, but this Minister Wang married Zhou Xueqing, a concubine of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion, as his second wife a few years ago."
"It's funny to say that it was Madam Mu who entered the family first. But because her family was not as prosperous as before, she was forced to give way to Madam Zhou and became the second madam from the first madam."
Qing Wu's eyes turned cold for a moment, and she tapped her fingers on the table. Lu Qiao continued:
"After Zhou married, she had someone give Madam Mu a drug that would make her lose her mind. She also ordered the acupuncture."
"Zhou had been childless for a long time and felt that Wang Yulang had taken the place of her child, which was why she couldn't get pregnant. So she instructed the old woman to find an opportunity to take Wang Yulang out of the Minister's Mansion."
"The old woman said that they threw the person into the Infant-Eating Mountain."
"Eating Baby Mountain?"
Lu Qiao hurriedly said, "It's a wild mountain thirty feet west of the city. Rumor has it that the mountain will eat children, so the people try to avoid it."
"Don't worry, Princess. The matter has been reported to the authorities, and Jingzhao Yin has also sent people to search the mountain."
Qing Wu frowned and glanced at the dead air in Mu Ying's Children's Palace, which had not changed at all.
Even if Jingzhao Yin continues to look for someone, I'm afraid there will be no results.
The situation of her little nephew was urgent. Qing Wu had no time to wait, so she got up and went to find Xiao Chenyan.
Siweiyuan.
Baisui felt his scalp tingle when he saw Qing Wu coming towards him aggressively, and he subconsciously tried to stop her: "The prince said we can't..."
“Get out of the way!”
Qing Wu pushed the person aside and walked in through the door.
"Xiao Chenyan, I have something to ask--"
"Get out!" the man's voice was filled with anger.
Qing Wu's eyes fell on his hand holding up his pants, and she suddenly remembered her invincible iron head skill, and blurted out:
"Can you still live?"
Baisui had just stretched out his foot, but immediately retracted it and slammed the door in fear.
The man's handsome face was as black as ink, and the veins on his hand holding up his pants were bulging. "What did you say?!"
Qing Wu's heart skipped a beat and her face looked solemn. It's over!
Xiao Chenyan's heart also skipped a beat, and before Qing Wu could say anything shocking again, he strode forward and covered her mouth.
Qing Wu's back hit the door, and she clearly felt the pressure and dangerous aura coming from the man.
