These words sounded very sincere, as if he was almost kneeling down.
Zou Yangyao felt it was ironic, and he asked, "Do you know why I divorced Yue Shan?"
Minister Tai looked strange. How should he answer this?
As he looked at her with hesitation, Zou Yangyao took the initiative to explain, "Back then, there was a vicious woman in my mansion. If she hadn't tricked me, would I have divorced Yue Shan?"
"From what I've seen, this Miss Tai looks very similar to Yang Wanyan!"
Zou Yangyao's words sounded like they had no intention of giving face at all. They were very heartless and unpleasant to the ear.
As expected, Minister Tai's face darkened. He looked at Zou Yangyao with dissatisfaction: "What you said! It's slander!"
Zou Yangyao snorted coldly, "This general doesn't want this kind of situation to happen again, so I will only accept one woman into my mansion! That woman is currently Xiao Chu'er, not Tai Banxue!"
Afterwards, Zou Yangyao frowned and ordered the servants outside, "Please send Minister Tai back!"
He shook his sleeves and walked away without giving Tai Shangshu any face.
Minister Tai's expression darkened. He pointed at Zou Yangyao's back and cursed, "Be careful! I'll tell the Queen Mother all your plans!"
"The imperial decree has been issued, do as you please!" Zou Yangyao responded without turning his head. He looked very cool and not threatened at all.
Minister Tai was extremely angry. He lowered his status and lost all his face to speak such humble words, but Zou Yangyao didn't even give him any face at all.
Then it would be even more unreasonable for the Tai Mansion to continue keeping the secret!
After leaving the general's mansion, Minister Tai went to the palace to meet the empress dowager.
Miao Qinghua had just returned from the new general's mansion. Although she had become the empress dowager, she was still a junior in front of General Miao. She was despised by General Miao for her incompetence and was very angry.
When he heard Minister Tai asking for an audience, he immediately roared, "No!"
The palace maid shuddered, turned around and went back to report to Minister Tai.
Minister Tai spoke hesitantly, "Please inform me again and tell me that I have an urgent matter! It's about the Miao family case!"
Afterwards, the palace servant bravely went to report it again. Miao Qinghua was a little surprised. About the Miao family case?
When Minister Tai walked in to pay his respects, Miao Qinghua had already spoken coldly, "The Grand Marshal's Mansion no longer exists. I wonder what Minister Tai means by this?"
Minister Tai didn't mince words and spoke directly, "Empress Dowager, I only learned today that there's a hidden story about the Miao family case! It's my incompetence that I only figured it out after the imperial edict was read out!"
After saying this, he kowtowed hard on the ground. Miao Qinghua frowned and asked, "What exactly is going on? Explain it clearly!"
"It's my granddaughter Banxue. She had been suffering from the plague and had been in a coma. I had originally sent her out of the city. I thought I would never see her again and would be sending her off in old age, but..."
"Who knew that after a few days of recuperation outside the city, she recovered on her own. When she regained consciousness, she told me something that made me regret it!"
Miao Qinghua's brows were knitted tightly together, and her expression was filled with impatience: "Just finish what you want to say at once!"
Minister Tai sighed, "After Banxue regained consciousness, a servant told her everything that had happened in the capital during this period. Only then did Banxue realize that the testimony she had written was actually..."
Minister Tai sighed again, "In fact, that testimony wasn't written by her at all. It was General Zou who came to the mansion to visit Banxue that day and took advantage of Banxue's unconsciousness to get her to sign the testimony written by someone else!"
"Banxue was completely unaware of this. She regained consciousness later, but she still had no idea what was happening! And since the handwriting matched Banxue's, I believed it to be true..."
As he spoke, he kowtowed repeatedly on the ground, looking very remorseful.
Miao Qinghua clenched her fists. "Is that all? Any other discoveries?"
Even if this matter were made public, it would only clear Shao Lecheng of the charges.
Tai Banxue's testimony only stated that Shao Lecheng and Duan Gouqiong conspired to frame the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it had nothing to do with the Miao family!
"Other things... have not been discovered yet, it's just that this is all a setup! Queen Mother, if you make this matter public, you can convict Zou Yangyao!" Minister Tai was a little anxious.
All of this was a trap set up by Zou Yangyao to take advantage of Tai Banxue! Tai Banxue had suffered so much during the plague. If he didn't avenge Tai Banxue, wouldn't it be a sign of his incompetence as an elder?
Miao Qinghua looked at Minister Tai, frowning, and asked, "Is there any way to find out more?"
Minister Tai looked at Miao Qinghua hesitantly. They had only done so much with Tai Banxue. How could they investigate more?
"I am incompetent. Banxue's testimony was fabricated by them. This Miao family case must have been caused by them. Queen Mother, do you think the Prince of the County was also involved? In fact, he has never broken off relations with the Regent Palace!"
"You are so merciful. You only made the prince a duke! In fact, they are all in the same group!"
After hearing what Minister Tai said, Miao Qinghua's expression gradually became serious.
She had suspected Shao Lecheng before, but after so many incidents proved that they were not in the same group, she no longer doubted Shao Lecheng. Now, after hearing Minister Tai's speculation, her suspicion of Shao Lecheng rose again.
Seeing that Miao Qinghua didn't say anything, Minister Tai didn't say anything and just knelt on the ground obediently.
Miao Qinghua was silent for a long time before she spoke: "You should leave the palace first. Don't make this matter public. If their breakup is just a fake, I will make him pay the price!"
