Miao Qinghua chuckled. "They even built a maze for you to prevent you from disturbing their world of two? And they said they broke up because of a long-distance relationship?"
Miao Huitao knelt on the ground in fear. "Queen Dowager, I know I have no ability. I don't have the favor of the Regent, nor the trust of the Princess. That's why I was driven out of the palace and received a letter of divorce. In the Miao family...I have become an abandoned woman."
"Humph, after being divorced by the then Crown Prince's Mansion, she returned to the Miao family to eat and drink for free?"
Upon hearing this, Miao Huitao's face turned brilliant, and she quickly pleaded, "Queen Dowager, I have always regarded the Miao family as my natal family. Without my husband's family, my natal family is the only place I can stay. It wasn't because of my intelligence that I was chosen. I simply drew lots and won..."
When I say this, I feel ashamed and embarrassed.
"Hui Tao? Lift your head and let me take a good look."
Miao Huitao raised his head in fear and looked towards Miao Qinghua.
Miao Qinghua's lips curled up slightly, but her expression was cold and sinister.
The Ministry of Justice and the Miao family jointly investigated the case of Miao Li's tragic death, and asked people in the streets and alleys of the city if they saw anything that night.
After questioning in the streets and alleys, perhaps the next step would be to break directly into the Regent's Palace and arrest the people in the palace with confidence.
Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen sat by the window, looking down. Ni Yueshan held up her chin and asked curiously, "When they come to the palace to arrest someone, should they arrest you or me?"
Jing Yuchen frowned and responded, "You?"
"Why?" Ni Yueshan asked.
Jing Yuchen raised his lips and said, "Because I was unconscious at the time and you were awake, the only person who committed the crime could be you. How could you arrest me?"
"Your Highness is mistaken! You are the prince. If you are finished, the Jing family will be truly devastated. I am just a wife, a wife not as important as you, Your Highness. If I die, it will have no impact on the Queen Mother's cause. But if you die... hehe, it will change the situation in the court!"
Ni Yueshan proudly turned the teacup in his hand, looking quite heartless.
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan, stretched out his hand and slapped Ni Yueshan on the head. Ni Yueshan rubbed his head in pain and complained, "What are you doing? There must be a reason for hitting people. Be careful, I will hit back!"
Although her kung fu was a bit useless in ancient times, it was not completely useless.
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan scrutinizingly: "How dare you ask me, if I really get arrested, will I take the blame for you?"
Ni Yueshan pouted and didn't say anything back, she just felt very depressed.
Seeing Ni Yueshan's gloomy expression, Jing Yuchen smiled instead: "Alright, alright, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you, so what does jail mean to me?"
The two were still talking when they saw a woman being held in a prison van and paraded through the streets below?
Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen looked at each other. Although Miao Huitao had little presence at the beginning and they hadn't seen each other for such a long time, they still recognized Miao Huitao at a glance when they saw him again.
"Who on earth has the ability to put the concubine of the Miao family in a prison van and parade her through the streets?" Ni Yueshan stared at Jing Yuchen, and Jing Yuchen also looked downstairs in surprise.
"It's probably the Miao family themselves!" Jing Yuchen seemed to have seen through the Miao family's plan.
Ni Yueshan frowned and looked over: "The Miao family herself? Push her out..."
Miao Huitao was pushed all the way, and the people followed to watch until they stopped at the gate of Dali Temple and took him in.
Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen thought that this matter might be related to them, so they went downstairs.
Outside the Dali Temple, many people were watching and pointing.
Kneeling in the court were Miao Huitao and the Miao family's steward.
Kang Xueyi, the Supreme Court Justice, slammed the gavel and demanded, "Who is this person? I will not take any case that is not commissioned by the imperial court!"
"Sir, I am the steward of the Miao family. The woman beside me is called Miao Huitao. She is the third concubine of the Miao family and was once the concubine of the regent. I am suing her!"
Kang Xueyi was obviously a little surprised: "You, an old servant, are suing your own young lady?"
"Exactly! Your Excellency, please listen to me as I explain in detail!"
