Chapter 867: The situation is not good before the wine and food arrive
Leng Rongyue and others walked into the mansion.
Old Madam Xue and her two daughters-in-law had already come out of the back house. They saw everything that happened in front of the mansion from the back window.
I saw Qing Yi and his men beat up Zhang Miaotong;
Seeing Princess Yi and Wang rushing to protect him;
Saw the arrival of Zheng Tong, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture;
I also saw Prince Yi's carriage coming... and then leaving...
Later, we saw Yue'er filing a complaint in front of Zheng Tong, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. She filed one complaint at first, and then filed three complaints in a row!
Then Wang was beaten, Princess Yi Zhang Miaoying was divorced, and the three of them, mother and daughter, confessed their guilt and signed their names. They were convicted by the prefect Zheng Tong, and finally the dust settled!
The hearts of the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and the two of them also began to beat fast and slow, up and down in anxiety!
At this time, seeing Leng Rongyue, Madam Xue didn't say anything, but just took Leng Rongyue's hand and led her towards the mansion.
Xiao Jingyu and others followed the old man and the young boy, and returned to the second hall together.
In the flower hall, Duke Anguo Fu Peng and his son were still sitting there.
Seeing everyone come back, the maids hurriedly served tea and then left according to the rules, closing the door of the flower hall.
The servants in the mansion kept reporting the situation outside, and the Duke of Anguo and his two sons were all aware of it.
The family sat around the table drinking tea. They were really thirsty after being outside for so long.
Xiao Jingyu took out the paper written by Zhang Miaoying from his sleeves and handed it to Anguo Gong Fu Peng.
Duke Anguo Fu Peng took it, read it once, and then handed it to his son.
Even the first wife Huo Chanyu and the second wife Zheng Suyao had seen it.
The Second Madam took the paper in her hand and examined it twice more. She tilted her head and said with a smile, "This Zhang Miaoying is quite interesting!
Under the current circumstances, Prince Yi not only did not come forward to rescue, but instead left first, and then sent someone to deliver the divorce letter, directly abandoning his princess and the entire Cifu Mansion.
Prince Yi's actions today perfectly embody the four words "heartless and cold-hearted"!
Princess Zhang Miaoying, the Princess of Yi, did not receive help from her husband in a critical moment. Instead, she was given a divorce letter and abandoned...
After receiving the divorce letter from Prince Yi, as a woman, if she really wanted to take revenge on Prince Yi, she could have just exposed Prince Yi's ambition to usurp the throne in broad daylight in front of everyone outside the palace.
That was the most direct revenge she could take!
But she didn't. Instead, she wrote these two sentences on the paper and gave it to Yue'er.
What on earth does she mean by doing this?"
The eldest lady took the paper from the second lady, looked at it carefully, smiled, and said, "Compared with her stupid and arrogant sister Zhang Miaotong, this Zhang Miaoying is actually quite smart.
Today, that stupid Zhang Miaotong came to provoke us. I guess she was only thinking about how to threaten and intimidate our Yue'er after she saw her, and how to force Yue'er to act according to her wishes.
She would never have thought that our Yue'er would ignore her and directly write a complaint and sue her to the Shuntian Prefecture Government Office!
By the time she realized what was happening, she had already been beaten, became the defendant, and finally became a criminal guilty of deceiving the emperor!
As for Zhang Miaoying, from today's events, she recalled that the emperor had thrown her father, Zhang Jinyan, into the Heavenly Prison yesterday;
Today, Yue'er filed three complaints in front of the prefect, not only bringing down Zhang Miaotong, but also Wang Shi and herself, Zhang Miaoying, the Princess Yi!
Yue'er acted today without any regard for Prince Yi and Prince Yi's Mansion.
From this, Zhang Miaoying probably sensed that the Emperor and we were not completely ignorant of Prince Yi's secret deeds and his ambitions.
Perhaps it is because there is not enough evidence, or for some other reason, that they are keeping silent.
Since the emperor is currently holding back, she doesn't want to act rashly. She doesn't want to muddy the waters and disrupt the emperor's plans, which might even add to his guilt.
But Zhang Miaoying was unwilling to do nothing.
So, she dug a trap for King Yi in advance.
As for when Prince Yi will fall into the pit...that depends on the needs of the Emperor!
This is what Zhang Miaoying meant, right?
Dad, what do you say?"
Duke Anguo Fu Peng nodded slightly, "Out of a woman's desire for revenge... she definitely has this idea.
But, not entirely.
From a small perspective, perhaps Zhang Miaoying still has a glimmer of hope in her heart."
"How do you say this?"
Mrs. Xue was puzzled.
"The crime of deceiving the emperor is a serious crime that warrants the extermination of all property and the genocide of the clan!
After all, Zhang Miaoying was born in the family of the second prime minister and married into the Prince Yi's Mansion. She would not be unaware of this.
Because she knew that, she wanted to take a gamble!"
Duke Anguo Fu Peng explained to Old Madam Xue.
"If the Emperor still doesn't know Prince Yi's evil ambitions, then... these few words of hers can be considered meritorious service after her crime.
Perhaps just for these few words, the emperor would show mercy and give him a chance to live;
If the emperor already knew about it, it would at least show that Zhang Miaoying's heart was still with the court and she had no intention of deceiving the emperor or rebelling.
If the emperor believed it a little bit, it was not impossible for her to escape.
Because... Zhang Miaoying wants to live to see the end of Prince Yi!"
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Everyone discussed what happened this afternoon.
Leng Rongyue looked at the sky and said, "Grandpa and grandma, as soon as we came back from the palace, we were disturbed by that Zhang Miaotong. We spent the whole afternoon there!
It’s this late, my grandparents, uncles, aunts, and brothers should all be hungry, right?
Yue'er promised to make delicious food for her grandparents, uncles, aunts, and brothers.
Wait for me for a moment, okay? I'll be back soon!"
“Okay, okay!
Of course, that’s great, we’ll definitely wait!”
Compared with the Anguo Duke and his wife, the first master and his wife, and the second master and his wife, Xiao Jingyu and Fu Mingjun nodded with smiles, but the third master Fu Mingxiu responded most enthusiastically!
The Anguo family sat around the table, chatting happily, waiting for Leng Rongyue to bring them some new and delicious food!
Zhang Jinyan in the sky prison is now... panicking!
No one came to deliver food and wine to Prince Yi's mansion, and the jailer's attitude also changed...
Zhang Jinyan looked at the black pancake thrown by the jailer...his heart sank...not good!
