Chapter 399: Grievance
"Zhao Jingyi, you have been wronged." The Queen smiled.
"Your Highness, you are worried about me. I am grateful." Shen Chuliu stood up and smiled: "Shen Biyu, do you want to admit it yourself, or wait to enter the Internal Criminal Department?"
Shen Baolin stood up as if he had been stabbed. "What are you talking about, Lady Jing Zhaoyi? What should I admit?"
"This move of yours is vicious, but it's a pity that you can't justify yourself. Wang Sancai is just a servant, how could he have letters between me and anyone else? Even if he had, he should have received them, so how could he have written them? That's because my handwriting is easy to forge, but it takes a lot of effort to forge someone else's, right?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"Then... maybe the letter from Concubine Jing Zhaoyi has not been sent out? You also said yesterday that it was about Meng Xiaoyi and... and the murder of the prince. Maybe Wang Sancai didn't dare to send out such a letter?" Shen Baolin was sweating profusely.
"Tsk, this is really getting more and more wrong." Rong Jieyu smiled and said, "How do you know what the content of this letter is? And how do you know that the person who sent the letter is Wang Sancai?"
"Jieyu Rong should not get herself into trouble. What about the silver found here by Wang Sancai? If the master hadn't asked him to do something, why would he give so much silver? If you don't believe me, you can check. He must have been out of the palace recently." Shen Baolin said.
"Then there's no need to check. He must have gone out naturally. If he didn't go out, how could he die with peace of mind?" Shen Chuliu smiled.
"I... I don't know what you are saying..." Shen Baolin became more and more flustered.
"Okay, Zhu Sizheng, go ahead." Shen Chuliu smiled.
Zhu Sizheng took a step forward and said, "I obey your order."
Zhu Sizheng told the story leisurely.
This matter is already very clear.
It turned out that the initial cause was Wang Sancai's illness, he had liver disease. Shen Chuliu was a good master, and when his subordinates were sick, they would naturally see the imperial physician.
When he first saw the patient, he didn't call the imperial physician, but asked Wang Sancai to go to the Imperial Medical Bureau with money. This was because there were many things going on in the palace at that time, and it was the time when the Feng family was in trouble.
Because of this, Shen Chuliu and everyone else didn’t know that he had a serious liver disease and that he didn’t have much time left.
This matter was originally kept secret, but Xiu Jin, who was with Shen Baolin, accidentally saw it and told Shen Baolin. Shen Baolin acted decisively and spent money to hire Doctor Liu to make the diagnosis as a common illness.
Wang Sancai was even easier to persuade. He didn't have much time left, but he still had people at home. If he couldn't be cured, he would accept the offer of exchanging his last time for money without hesitation.
As for the letter, it was naturally given to him by Shen Baolin.
He had left the palace half a month ago to make sure his family had received the silver, so he was willing to come back. He was indeed willing to drown in Luming Lake.
It's hard for them to wait patiently for these few months.
Shen Chuliu's wet nurse Xu Yu Niang imitated Shen Chuliu's notes to write these letters, all pretending to be addressed to Concubine Yang, and said things that instigated Meng Xiaoyi and talked about the medicine in a nonsensical way.
How did Shen Chuliu know about it in the first place?
Nature is also faith.
Wang Sancai was not very smart. Although he was willing to die early in exchange for money, he was not a very wise man after all.
How could one live with someone without revealing anything? It was the young eunuch who lived with him who discovered the clues. The young eunuch was illiterate and handed the letter to Yuan Xiao.
Yuan Xiao was shocked, so he acted out a play with Shen Chuliu. After reading it, he took advantage of Wang Sancai's absence to put the letter back in its original state, and waited for several months.
During this time, Shen Chuliu was not idle either, and she easily found out about Xu Yu Niang who had remarried into the Liang family.
It was not difficult to find out about the sudden wealth of Liu Taiyi's family. The Liang family could not compare with the Shen family, but they would not lack this little money.
She was just not in a hurry, waiting for Shen Baolin to set up the situation.
Here we are.
Everyone just listened to what Zhu Xulin said, and didn't know that Shen Chuliu had actually been waiting for him.
In this incident, what Mrs. Song, the eldest wife of the Shen family, did was to cut off the communication between Liang and her natal family, and even cut off the temporary contact between Shen Baolin in the palace and the Shen family.
Liang didn't even know about this.
If everyone acts independently, chaos will naturally arise, and there will not even be a chance to make amends.
Song had seen through it long ago. The palace did not need two ladies from the Shen family, and the mansion naturally did not need two people in charge.
Even the Song family thought further. Nothing in this world is foolproof. What if Shen Baolin is favored one day? When Shen Chuliu is favored in the palace, it doesn't matter to Jing Zhaoyi that the Shen family is the Song family's housekeeper.
But if Shen Biyu is favored, the person in charge of the Shen family will have to be replaced. Even if it cannot be replaced, it will inevitably cause trouble. In the future, it is inevitable that we will have to respect Liang more.
Wouldn't it be troublesome at that time? So why not pull her down now? The women of the Shen family are all powerful, but how could Song, who gave birth to several daughters of the Shen family, be a softie?
Back then, she couldn't stop Shen Biyu from entering the palace without completely harming her own interests, but times have changed, and now she can fully cooperate with Jing Zhaoyi.
And the best thing is that even if she cooperates with Jing Zhaoyi, there is no need for communication or conspiracy.
Perfect.
But for Shen Chuliu, the so-called family affection of the Shen family is not reliable, but the wall formed by interests is strong enough.
At this time, Shen Baolin wanted to beg for mercy, but she couldn't open her mouth because Zhu Sizheng's last words blocked her way.
"Liang Zhengqi has admitted that he is currently in the Ministry of Justice. It was he who arranged for him to be outside the palace."
Liang Zhengqi, Shen Biyu's cousin, is the young master of this generation of the Liang family.
Besides the Liang family, the Liang family also wants Shen Biyu to be successful.
So, as long as she said it, they would naturally be willing to do it, it would just cost money.
Even Wang Sancai was seriously ill and chose to die early.
It's really not a big deal.
After the incident between Liang and Shang, the Liang family didn't really suffer any loss, but their reputation was not as good as before. Naturally, they hoped for a better future.
"This is really a case of one thing leading to another." The Queen smiled and said, "They are all sisters from the same family. Shen Baolin is really cruel. If this crime is proven, Jing Zhaoyi will be skinned alive if she doesn't die."
"This is really not only cruel, but also stupid. If it is really confirmed that he is conspiring to murder the prince and princess, the Shen family will not be in good shape." Concubine Rong looked at Shen Baolin with contempt.
Shen Baolin didn't say anything at first, but when everyone talked more, she suddenly started laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Concubine Qian was surprised.
"What am I laughing at? I'm laughing at my stupidity. I didn't know at the beginning that my sister didn't want me to enter the palace. I'm laughing at my own stupidity. Why do I think I can do it? But why can't I? I'm also the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. My father is also a general, and I'm also the granddaughter of Jing'an Marquis. I have everything that Shen Chuliu has, so why can't I? Why?"
