“You’re talking nonsense, I didn’t even buy the herbs ……”
Before Wu Sheng could finish his sophomoric words, he was interrupted by Zhang Zhuan, “Your Excellency does not know, my aunt is the aunt of the Wu family and has not been in contact with the family since I can remember. My cousin suddenly came to me four years ago, and although I thought it was strange at the time, I didn’t think much of it, but it was only after this incident that I enquired that my first brother, who had been missing for many years, had been in the Wu family. Unfortunately, he was discovered and ended up in such a situation, and even dragged my aunt into it. My cousin should be harbouring a grudge, and has gone to Qingping County many times to look for me just to find an opportunity to frame Miss Song.”
The Wu family had fallen from prosperity to this point, and everyone in the capital knew about it, and naturally the Shuntian governor was well aware of it, but the matter of stealing and swapping medicinal herbs was of great importance, not to mention that the emperor had already made a decision, so if he overturned the case, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face of the emperor?
The emperor is grieving over the death of the imperial concubine, and if he were to slapped the emperor’s face again at this time, would he still want his official position?
The court of law has been in a state of shock, “The matter of stealing and exchanging medicinal materials is of great importance, this official needs to send someone to find out slowly, first put Wu Sheng in custody, wait for the investigation to be clear before trial ……”
“You’re lying, I didn’t say that at all! Cousin, how much did you receive for coming to the capital to set me up?”
Wu Sheng was furious.
That look, if he wasn’t in the lobby, he would have wanted to pounce on Zhang Zhuan and tear him apart.
Zhang Zhuan simply ignored him and knocked his head on the ground, “I am telling the truth, Your Excellency can send someone to investigate, if I have one lie, Your Excellency can send me to jail.”
“That’s ridiculous!”
The government’s government has been working on a number of projects to improve the quality of life in the country. It’s obvious that the soap was mixed with something that shouldn’t be there, causing my daughter’s face to rot after using it.
The Shuntian governor was eager to put the matter of the herbs behind him and was about to answer when Xu Yan spoke up before him, “If it was Wu Sheng who tampered with the soap in our shop, let the governor send his men to arrest his sidekick and find out. You and the Wu family have conspired to harm us?”
“Xu Yan, watch your words!”
“What’s wrong with my words?”
“You ……”
The Minister of Household was furious and his forehead was bruised.
“Uncle, even if the Minister of Household did such a thing, you can’t say it so bluntly, at least give people face, after all, they even put their daughter’s face on the line.”
Song Wangyue was still not enough of a fire and poured some more oil on it.
The Minister of Household almost did not faint from anger.
Mrs. Wen Zhong’s calmness could not be maintained any longer, “Song Wan Yue, you just said that my face has nothing to do with your soap, what, now you admit it?”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
“You don’t have to talk nonsense, it’s clearly your soap that’s faulty ……”
The Shuntian governor’s head hurt even more.
“My lord ……”
A magistrate hurried up to the hall and whispered in his ear.
The Shuntian magistrate slapped the wood of the hall, “The court is adjourned, we will try again later.”
After saying this, he hurriedly returned to the back of the court.
…………
The great prince stood with his hands folded.
The Shuntian governor was apprehensive, “Your Highness.”
The Grand Prince turned around, smiling warmly, “My palace is not disturbing your case, is it?”
Naturally, he did, but he did not dare to say this, “They were making a lot of noise, and I had a headache, so I had to take a break.”
The Grand Prince sat down and the magistrate brought up a cup of hot tea.
The Emperor picked it up and fiddled with the tea leaves with the lid, “What do you think about today’s incident?”
“This ……”
The Grand Prince’s fiddling with the tea leaves paused and the Shuntian Prefect became even more apprehensive, he couldn’t guess who the Grand Prince was here for and tried his best to weigh his words, “They say the public has a point and the public has a point, my official is not sure for a moment.”
“It’s hard for you to do so, but I have a few friends with the Minister of Household Affairs, so invite him to the back room and I will persuade him.”
The Shuntian governor himself went to call for the man and brought him to him, retreating far away himself.
The Minister of Household entered the room, and when he saw the Grand Prince there, he was stunned and then went forward to salute, “Greetings, Your Highness.”
“The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
The Minister of Household was slightly stunned, the Grand Prince was blatantly trying to protect the Xu and Xiao families. If he did not agree, if the Grand Prince really took that position in the future, his official position would come to an end; but if he agreed, when would he be able to get rid of the anger he was holding in his heart?
“My palace knows that you are in a difficult position, but you will not have the upper hand even if you tear your face off with the Xu family like this, so why not take a step back?”
“If you sell me this favor, I promise you one condition, no matter what happens in the future, as long as it is within the scope of what I can do, I will help you.”
The Minister of Household Affairs was moved.
With the assurance of the Grand Prince, he would be able to protect himself if he was ever impeached.
“Your Highness has spoken too highly, my humble servant will go and persuade my daughter.”
The Grand Prince nodded, “Let the Shuntian Prefect come in.”
The Minister of Household Affairs withdrew and was relieved to see that the Shuntian Prefect was standing far away and had not heard them, nodding towards him and gesturing for him to enter.
When the Minister of Household was called away, Song Wan Yue guessed that someone was coming.
But either the First Prince or the Second Prince should have taken the opportunity to make a big deal out of it and remove the Wu family for them, instead of using such mild tactics and calling people to the back.
If Song Wan Yue could think of it, Xu Yan and Xiao Zheng could naturally think of it too, and the three of them shot a glance at each other and decided to wait and see what would happen.
The Minister of Household Affairs soon returned, pulled his daughter aside and said something unknown to him, and Madam Wen Zhong looked back at Song Wan Yue and Xu Yan and his wife with great reluctance.
The Shuntian governor then returned, and with a startling clap of the wood, proceeded to raise the court.
Mrs. Wen Zhong knelt down again, “Your Excellency, I admit my own bad luck and will not sue.”
Song Wan Yue raised her eyebrows, “Is Mrs. Wen serious?”
Even though she was not willing to do so, between her father’s official position and her anger, Mrs. Wen Zhong chose the former, without her father’s shelter, the three of them would be nothing.
“That is natural.”
“My lord ……”
Song Wan Yue also knelt down, “My daughter is suing Madam Wen for false accusation, please also ask your lordship to investigate!”
