Chapter 177 What are you barking like a dog here?
No matter what Princess Hengyang asked, Mo Yunwan would just cry and complain about being wronged. After crying for a while, she even fainted.
Princess Hengyang was about to have cold water poured over her when Chunxi spoke softly, "Last night, my mother-in-law appeared in my dream, saying that she was tragically killed by my third brother's wife. I'll go down the mountain and beat the drum to protest my grievances. The Jingzhao Prefecture will then investigate the case, so Your Highness won't have to worry about it."
Princess Hengyang raised her eyebrows.
Although she and Prince Ying were of noble status, they did not have the power to directly convict people. She thought Chunxi would take the opportunity to ask her to make the decision, but she didn't expect that Chunxi had already thought of a backup plan and would not trouble her at all.
Be bold but know your limits, and don't blindly climb up the pole.
This personality is really to her liking.
Princess Hengyang liked Chunxi more and more, but Shen Qingyu seemed to have been hit in the foot and exploded: "Cao Chunxi, what are you talking about? My mother was clearly pissed off to death by you. What does this have to do with Wan'er?"
Chunxi glared at Shen Qingyu coldly: "Whether there is any connection or not, the Jingzhao Prefecture will find out after an investigation. Why are you barking at me here, Third Brother?"
"you……"
Shen Qingyu wanted to rush over and hit Chunxi, but was stopped by the monks of Yunshan Temple: "Donor, you have been causing trouble in the temple today and have already violated the temple rules. Please go to the Discipline Hall to be punished!"
Although he said please, Shen Qingyu was directly lifted up and cursed Chunxi even more.
Chunxi turned a deaf ear to him and approached Princess Hengyang curiously: "This is my first time at Yunshan Temple. May I ask what the punishment is in the Discipline Hall?"
"Yunshan Temple has thousands of precepts. Violations of different precepts will result in different punishments in the Discipline Hall. He spoke nonsense, defamed others, and disturbed the pure grounds of the Buddhist temple. He will be beaten with at least twenty monk sticks and forty verbal punishments. I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed or speak for half a month."
Chunxi gave a thumbs up after hearing this: "Buddha is wise!"
This Yunshan Temple is truly a blessed place. She must come here more often to worship in the future.
After watching the excitement, all the pilgrims dispersed. Chunxi also had to rush down the mountain to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to appeal for justice. Princess Hengyang borrowed two guards to help send Mo Yunwan to Jingzhao Prefecture.
"Thank you, Princess. Your Highness is such a kind person."
Chunxi thanked her sincerely, and Princess Hengyang was a little dazed.
It's been years since I've heard such sincere praise. Others have called her a vicious woman who bullies others and is a heretic.
The two guards took turns carrying Mo Yunwan and walked very quickly, leaving Chunxi and Shen Jinhua behind.
When no one was around, Shen Jinhua leaned over to Chunxi and whispered, "Ah Xi, was your mother-in-law really killed by this Mo Yunwan?"
Although Shen Jinhua had always wanted to take advantage of the Marquis's Mansion to gain some benefits, she would not dare to murder Mo even if she had ten times the courage.
Moreover, she didn't even dare to breathe when facing Prince Ying and Princess Hengyang just now, and her heart was still pounding.
She thought Chunxi's words about finding a way to make Mo Yunwan reveal her true identity were just a small quarrel with Mo Yunwan. She never expected that it would involve the royal family. Moreover, Princess Hengyang seemed to be very familiar with Chunxi. The Mo family did not have such great ability back then.
After defeating Mo Yunwan, can Chunxi really return Xiao's dowry to the Shen family?
Shen Jinhua felt sympathetic, but her thoughts kept changing.
Chunxi said gently, "I don't know whether it's true or not, but my mother-in-law told me in a dream. We'll know once Jingzhao Prefecture investigates."
Going down the mountain was easier than going up. In just an incense stick of time, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Chunxi was searching for the carriage and suddenly saw Shen Qingyuan sitting in the carriage instead of the coachman.
Thinking of his previous instructions, Chunxi felt a little guilty. Shen Jinhua had already strode over and said, "Yuan'er, when did you come down the mountain? I couldn't find you just now. You don't know how dangerous the situation was just now..."
Shen Jinhua climbed onto the carriage and recounted what had happened in the temple. Finally, she slapped her forehead and exclaimed, "The third brother is still being punished in the Discipline Hall. Ah Xi and I are really exhausted. Why don't you go up and pick him up, Yuan'er?"
"No, he knows the way."
Shen Qingyuan refused directly. Seeing Chunxi dawdling beside him, he raised his eyes and glared at her: "Madam, why don't you get in the car?"
Chunxi then stepped forward, but did not get into the carriage. Instead, she sat outside with Shen Qingyuan in a flattering manner: "Why is my husband here too?"
She thought Mo Yunwan would find an excuse to get Shen Qingyuan away and let Shen Qingyu cause trouble.
"Shouldn't I be here for such a big thing?"
Shen Qingyuan asked back, but didn't look at Chunxi. Without waiting for Chunxi to answer, he whipped the horse whip and drove away in the carriage.
Inertia made Chunxi lean back. She instinctively hugged Shen Qingyuan's arm and refused to let go. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "After I separated from my husband, Mo Yunwan asked me to return to the Marquis' Mansion in the name of mourning. Now that she is in charge of the Marquis' Mansion, it is inconvenient for me to go in and out, and there are people watching me in the dark, so I can only act according to circumstances."
"Madam, aren't you afraid that I might hear some rumors and misunderstand you?"
"My husband is a master at solving cases, so he naturally wouldn't be deceived by rumors. Moreover, I am sincere to you. You should have experienced this during this period, right?"
Chunxi took the opportunity to wink at Shen Qingyuan, and before Shen Qingyuan could speak, she continued, "And when I saw Mo Yunwan in the temple just now, I guessed that it was my husband who was secretly helping me. My husband is not only so foresighted, but also so in tune with me. Why would I need to consult with him again?"
Chunxi's flattery continued, but Shen Qingyuan withdrew his hand with a serious face: "Madam couldn't find a chance to discuss things with me, but she was able to contact Wuyou Pavilion and even had the guts to plot against Prince Ying and Princess Hengyang. I never thought that Madam could be so capable."
"...Husband, this is a long story."
"It's okay, take your time."
"oh."
Chunxi recounted in detail the conspiracy between him, Lanshu and Xiao Yechen.
On the other side, Wei Lingze was riding his horse back to the city with Xiao Qinghe.
Wei Lingze held it in all the way, and when he got off the horse, he roughly pulled Xiao Qinghe off.
After entering the mansion, he immediately questioned Xiao Qinghe: "Do you know Cao Chunxi's plan?"
Xiao Qinghe's wrist was painfully grabbed. Her eyes were cold as she stared at Wei Lingze and asked, "My husband, are you referring to me knowing that you secretly had Mo Yunwan monitor my aunt's every move and deliberately dragged the princess and my aunt into a play to lure my husband to Yunshan Temple to catch them in adultery?"
The premise for Chunxi to set a trap to harm Wei Lingze was that he had bad intentions and sent people to secretly monitor him first. Moreover, if he trusted his wife, he would not fall into such an obvious trap.
But he doesn't believe in the love of the person next to him, nor does he believe in the person's character.
Xiao Qinghe's eyes were cold, and although her tone was gentle, it was sharp enough to see through the most secret and unbearable side of Wei Lingze's heart.
Wei Lingze's face turned cold and he said in a more serious tone: "I'm asking you now, answer me!"
"Yes, I teamed up with my aunt to harm you. Are you satisfied?"
Xiao Qinghe answered coldly. Wei Lingze's temples twitched twice. This was not the answer he wanted to hear.
"Impossible, you and I are husband and wife. It's not good for you to do this. Besides, you like me so much, it's impossible for you to help that bitch to hurt me. He'er, what you just said was just angry words, right?"
At the end, Wei Lingze softened his tone, hoping that Xiao Qinghe could change his answer.
Xiao Qinghe stared at him with pity, and after a while she said, "Wei Lingze, you are really sick."
