Chapter 316 A Divorce Letter
Jinse checked the letter before handing it to the Queen. The Queen unfolded it in front of the Emperor, read it once, and then handed it to the Emperor.
The emperor just glanced at it and waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to look any further.
"Mrs. He... I don't know if I should still call you that now, because your husband, Lord He Liansheng, sent you not just a letter, but a divorce letter."
The Queen asked Jinse to show the paper to Madam He. Madam He, who looked pale, took it with shaking hands, read it word by word, and shook her head slowly:
"No, this must not have been written by Zhuyin. Zhuyin would not treat me like this, no..."
"Ms. Tan, please stop deceiving yourself. Lord He clearly stated in his divorce letter that you are the most jealous and rude person.
You knew clearly that the position of the Censor did not allow you to have contact with court officials, but you secretly sent gifts to the Wuning Marquis's residence and took the opportunity to settle a personal grudge. I am going to divorce you today. Your words and actions have nothing to do with Lord He. ”
The queen coldly reminded Tan that her husband Zhuyin no longer wanted her.
"He Liansheng! I have done so much for you, why do you bully me like this!" Tan's scattered eyes gradually became focused, and she cried and laughed in a shrill voice.
"Ms. Tan, you have behaved inappropriately in front of the emperor. Do you want to confirm the conviction of Censor He? The Empress asked you a question, so why not answer truthfully!"
Su Qianqian didn't want Tan to be dragged out and punished like this. Tan hadn't said what she wanted to know yet. She scolded Tan, gave a fawning smile to the Queen and the Emperor, and pointed at Tan and acted like a villain.
Queen: You think I'm your interrogator!
Emperor Gan De looked at Su Qianqian again and said nothing.
Tan finally regained consciousness, and hatred appeared in her eyes as she looked at the divorce letter.
"Okay, I am willing to tell the truth. It was He Liansheng who ordered me to go to the Marquis of Wuning's mansion to deliver the gift. If not, why would I have the audacity to visit the Marquis of Wuning without any contact with him?"
Even though she was cruelly divorced by He Liansheng, Tan was still in pain and hesitation when she told He Liansheng about it.
"Ms. Tan, before you saw the divorce letter, you never mentioned that it was Censor He who gave you the order. Now that you say this, I'm afraid it's hard to convince people."
Emperor Gan De glanced at the woman kneeling on the ground and said lightly.
Tan was slightly startled. She looked up at the emperor and then at the queen. She finally understood that what the queen had said before was not meant to scare her.
[After the divorce letter was signed, Tan's words were full of resentment towards He Liansheng, saying that she had reasons and evidence to accuse her ex-husband. He Liansheng had already prepared a countermeasure.
He was confined to the mansion and could not go out, so he used this as an excuse to send Tan, who was tied with explosives, to the mansion. If he succeeded, everything would be fine. If he failed, he would lose a chess piece. Now no one would believe anything Tan said.
These silly women, another heroine of a rebirth novel has appeared! 】
The system sighed deeply.
[Whether what Tan said is believed or not is not that important. What I want her to tell you is not evidence, but the truth, and the clue I want to find in the truth. 】
Su Qianqian is not that sentimental. She is not a living Bodhisattva who comes to save all living beings. She just wants to save her own tribulation.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, although I have committed a serious crime, I was once the eldest daughter of the head of the Jiangnan Tan family!
For He Liansheng's sake, I broke off my engagement and married him, a bastard's son. I arranged for him to be valued by his father and to study hard for him to succeed in life. Even if I feel sorry for the whole world, I am only sorry for him, He Liansheng! ”
Tan knelt straight, but her body was like a drifting leaf.
"What reason do I have to deceive the Emperor and the Empress at this moment? My body is like a candle that will be extinguished by the wind, but I am unwilling to give up and must explain the whole story clearly!
He Liansheng was now staying in the mansion to reflect on himself and had no contact with the outside world. But that day, he suddenly called me into his study, handed me the painting and the ancient book, and ordered me to deliver the gift to the Wuning Marquis' Mansion, as this was related to whether he could resume his post as soon as possible.
The minister's wife had no idea what the connection was and asked what the gift was. He said it was just a painting and calligraphy, and he gave it to Madam Qin because she liked it very much.
On the way to the Marquis of Wuning's mansion, I casually opened it to see what kind of painting it was, but I didn't expect it to be...
I am also well-educated, so I naturally know how serious this is, but I misjudged He Liansheng’s intentions and thought he was targeting Madam Qin II…”
[So stupid!] She doesn't even know what kind of person her man is. It's ok that he's just young, but is she still so naive at her age? No wonder he was used as cannon fodder by He Liansheng! 】
Tan lowered her head and clenched her fists. After a pause, she raised her head again and said, "I know about the painting that He Liansheng prepared, but with a note like that stuck in the book, how can I know the handwriting of Marquis Wuning?
Regardless of whether the Emperor and the Empress believe it or not, I will not argue any more. This path was chosen by me, and it is not unfair that I lost my life. I do not blame others for my stupidity. ”
[These sentences are quite interesting. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Silence is the most eloquent. It is best to stop at the right point. 】
"Ms. Tan, you said that Lord He was reflecting on himself in the mansion. How did he know about the recognition of relatives by the Marquis of Wuning's mansion?"
Su Qianqian asked the question she wanted to know most.
"I didn't think much about it at the time, but later I remembered that one night a few days ago, I went to the study to bring snacks to the master, but the guard said that the master was meeting guests and no one was allowed to disturb him. How could there be guests at night? I thought it was..."
Tan didn't say the rest.
[I thought it was that pervert He Liansheng having fun again! 】Su Qianqian added in her heart.
The Empress' eyes flickered as she turned to look at Emperor Gan De. Emperor Gan De was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned back to ask Concubine Yun: "My dear Concubine, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"
Concubine Yun smiled like a blooming spring flower, her slightly dark skin glowing with luster. She said with a naive face, "Your Majesty, this is embarrassing for me. Apart from knowing how to please Your Majesty, how can I know about these state affairs? If you want to talk about this, you have to ask the Queen."
The Queen turned to look at Concubine Yun and smiled, "Although Concubine Yun is from a foreign country in Daliang, she knows her limits. This matter is indeed not to be overstepped. I never get involved in state affairs, but since the ladies have convicted me, I have no choice but to take responsibility."
[Well done, you, a tea-loving prostitute, relying on your good looks, you want to break into someone's house and take over their affairs. You sleep with someone and think that everyone in the world is a prostitute. How dare you even set your sights on my white moonlight! 】
At this time, Su Qianqian heard Meng Yun's secret and finally understood why the prince behaved strangely. It turned out that he was hiding in the East Palace to avoid the emperor's new concubine.
The Queen's eyes darkened, and she glanced at Meng Yun again before she said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, although Tan has no real evidence, the handwriting in the book is definitely not something she can imitate. We need to investigate this matter in detail, Lord He..."
Emperor Gan De lowered his eyes to look at the tea bowl, then slowly turned back and said, "Since Tan has already acknowledged that it was a gift from her, there is no way to verify the other claims. The suspension of He Liansheng's self-reflection will be postponed."
