Chen Boyang's face changed drastically. "You are so presumptuous. You have no basis for your claims. This is slander. Princess, please don't believe him. You know me best. Don't let this villain instigate us and ruin our relationship."
Princess Yi Yang no longer cared about her son-in-law. Fang Jingru's matter was the most important.
"Shut up, Mr. Zhao, and tell me what's going on."
How did Zhao Youping reveal the body, and what they found out during the investigation, especially the people who were sent to burn down the charity cemetery yesterday, it was impossible not to arouse suspicion.
Princess Yiyang's face was gloomy. "How do you want to explain?"
Chen Boyang almost knelt down, cursing and swearing, "I really didn't harm her. Back then, an expert told me that burying her there would be good for her, so I didn't bury her in the ancestral tomb.
When I heard that the body was washed out, I was not afraid that you would be upset. I wanted to deal with the matter. I really didn't hide it from you on purpose.
Princess, we have been married for more than ten years, and you still don’t believe me? You know what happened back then.”
Zhao Youping looked at the princess thoughtfully, somewhat doubtful. Could it be that the princess was also involved in the murder of Fang Jingru?
"Shut up."
Princess Yi Yang felt a little flustered. This guy was really useless. Didn’t he even know what to say and what not to say?
Xu Qianer didn't expect this to happen. It involved her parents' past affairs, and her good impression of Zhao Youping also faded a little.
Princess Yiyang calmed down and said, "Master Zhao, you don't have sufficient evidence for this matter. It is indeed wrong for my master to send people to burn the charity cemetery. We will double the compensation.
Forget about going to the Dali Temple. After all, it would be bad for my family's reputation if it got out. If you want to know something, you can come to our house and ask. We will tell you everything we know. Can you give me this favor?"
This is the difficulty of investigating the powerful. If ordinary people are brought to the yamen and threatened, the suspect will confess out of fear. Even those with strong mental qualities can be intimidated or even tortured, and no matter what means are used to make the suspect speak.
But you are not completely sure about the powerful and wealthy, and you cannot even bring them to the government office for interrogation.
Zhao Youping is not a fool who insists on taking the person away. He came here today just to test Princess Yi Yang's attitude.
The gains were greater than he had expected. Princess Yi Yang was probably also involved. He felt depressed. It was more difficult to touch a princess than a marquis.
Zhao Youping got what he wanted and did not stay any longer. He stood up and said, "Since the princess said so, I will definitely give her face. However, please stay in the mansion for the time being and do not leave the city. The Dali Temple may come to inquire at any time.
I have official business to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
"Butler, please send Young Master Zhao off."
As soon as Zhao Youping left, Xu Qianer asked worriedly, "Is our family really involved in a lawsuit? Then would I still consider him as my husband?"
Princess Yi Yang was speechless. It’s already this time, and you still have the mood to think about men?
"Go out and have fun. You don't need to worry about things at home."
"Oh, I'm leaving then."
Rather than saying that Xu Qianer is heartless, it would be better to say that she is fearless. She has no feelings for her stepfather, and the people he harmed have nothing to do with her mother.
Even if there is a relationship, given the status of my grandfather, who would dare to make things difficult for a princess?
As long as it's not murder, arson, or other unforgivable crimes, or treason, it's not a big deal.
Princess Yiyang was not so optimistic. She dismissed the servants and stared coldly at Chen Boyang: "How did your ex-wife die? Don't try to lie to me, or I won't help you anymore."
Chen Boyang felt guilty and said, "She was indeed seriously ill at the time, but she just wouldn't let me go. I wanted to send her back to the farm in the countryside, but a servant accidentally dropped her to death.
I really didn't want her to die, it's just that she was unlucky."
Yi Yang glanced at him coldly, "That woman is quite stubborn. She really has a bad fate. Why didn't she do it cleanly back then? Now it rains and it's dug out again. It's going to be difficult to deal with."
Chen Boyang took her hand and said, "Yiyang, you have to help me. I can't do it without you. You are the only one I have. For our family and for our son, thank you for your hard work."
"The Zhao family? Oh, how could such a good marriage have happened? You stay home and don't make any stupid moves. I'll go out and find out."
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work. I will take good care of you tonight."
Yi Yang rolled his eyes at him and said, "We're an old couple, aren't you ashamed?"
There was not much anger on his face, which made Chen Boyang feel relieved.
…
After leaving the Princess's Mansion, Zhao Youping returned home, washed, changed his clothes, and cheered up to continue his investigation.
Zhao Letong walked over by himself and refused to be held by the nanny. His appearance as a little adult melted everyone's heart.
Zhao Letong is still concerned about Fang Jingru's case, so he comes to ask his nephew about the situation. It involves a marquis and a princess. Can his nephew handle it?
Where are the people?
When she entered the room, she didn't see anyone, but she heard the sound of water in the bathroom next door. Zhao Letong went straight in. Zhao Youping was taking a bath and was about to get out of the tub when she blocked his way.
"Auntie, why didn't you say anything when you came in?"
[You are my nephew, are you afraid of me seeing you? ]
Zhao Letong found it funny that his nephew was still shy.
For some reason, Zhao Youping didn't dare to treat her like a child. The little aunt suddenly became smart and understood a lot, not like a child.
"Of course, men and women shouldn't touch each other. Auntie, please go out first. I need to get dressed."
[Humph, who cares to see it? It's not like I haven't seen it before.]
"Where have you seen this before? Who is so shameless as to let you see this? Please explain clearly, little aunt."
Zhao Youping was so anxious that he almost walked out naked.
[My dear nephew, it's just a naked man, why are you making such a fuss?]
Zhao Youping breathed a sigh of relief. What should he do now that his aunt has grown up?
Thinking about which young boy had kidnapped him, Zhao Youping wanted to kill him.
"Come out quickly, don't get soaked."
Zhao Letong sat in a chair waiting for him, eating snacks on the table and thinking about the plot in the book.
Princess Yi Yang was also mentioned, but more often it was her daughter who was a close friend of the heroine and helped a lot in connecting the heroine with the royal family.
The book revolves around the heroine, so Zhao Letong has to be careful of anyone related to the heroine.
Moreover, he has a good relationship with the heroine, and their personalities are similar. The people in this princess's mansion are not that good either.
"Auntie, things are not going well. I think the princess also knows about Madam Fang's affairs. She is deliberately protecting Marquis Chen.
The most difficult thing is that Madam Fang has no living relatives, so there is no one to complain to. If the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate. Even if the higher-ups ask us to stop, we have no choice but to give up the investigation."
[Where's her daughter? Still no news?]
"We'll have to wait a moment. I've sent someone to look for him."
[Be quick and be careful. If you can think of it, they can think of it too. I'm afraid they'll kill this little girl once and for all.]
"That's impossible, isn't it? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs."
He dared to kill his own wife and didn't care about having another child. Don't think too highly of human nature.
