This move by Song Wangyue took everyone by surprise and everyone in the lobby was stunned.
The Shuntian governor’s mouth was even slightly open, forgetting to speak.
“Song Wangyue, say it again?”
The Minister of Household first came back to his senses, furious.
If not for the Grand Prince’s intervention, he would have made Song Wangyue and the Xu family bow this head today no matter what. He had never expected that Song Wangyue would immediately backtrack and sue Ri’er for false accusations after he had just taken a step back.
Song Wangyue’s voice rose and she said, “My daughter is suing Madam Wen for false accusations, so I ask Your Excellency to look into this.”
The Minister of Household Affairs was so angry that his eyes turned black.
The Shuntian Prefectural Yin simply did not know what to say, Song Wan Yue did not look stupid, why did she not open her eyes at this time?
If it wasn’t for the Grand Prince coming to intercede, the Minister of Household would not have been willing to give up just like that.
“Miss Song ……”
Xu Yan and Xiao Zheng bent down in unison, “Please also ask your lordship to look into this.”
The Shuntian Prefect had no choice but to give a wink to the magistrate next to him, who quickly ran to the back office and reported the situation in front to the Grand Prince.
After hearing this, the Grand Prince frowned.
He was greedy for the power cultivated by the Wu family, but did not want to fall out with the Xu and Xiao families and Song Wangyue, so he thought of a solution that would be the best of both worlds. But then Song Wangyue suddenly turned against him, so what should he do now?
The first prince has not yet come up with a solution, but the second prince has also received a message from Song Yin, and is very puzzled.
“Why is the boss going to the Shuntian Palace?”
“I guess it’s for the Wu family.”
“The Wu family?”
Song Yin nodded, “After Wu Sheng was captured, Wu went into the Grand Prince’s residence.”
“Are you saying that Wu Jin has defected to the Boss? That’s not true, the Wu family has nothing now, what would Wu Jin do to negotiate with the Boss?”
“The camel that died is bigger than the horse, not to mention that Wu Jin was called into the palace by the emperor a few days ago, ostensibly to let him see concubine Shu for the last time, in the end for what, no one knows, Yue’er and I have a bold guess, the emperor may have asked Wu to do what the third prince failed to do, Wu Jin is afraid that he can’t do it, that’s why he defected to the grand prince.”
What the third prince didn’t finish, that’s not ……
The second prince stood up, he couldn’t let the oldest steal the show, “Prepare the carriage, go to Shun Tian Fu!”
“Your Highness wait, this matter boils down to the Wu family, in order to prevent the eldest prince from stealing the lead, we must make sure that the Wu family cannot be his helper.”
“What do you say?”
Song Yin whispered a few words, and the second prince immediately ordered it down.
……
The First Prince didn’t think of a better way, so he could only ask the magistrates to call Song Wangyue to the back office.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing.
The first prince spoke first, “Miss Song, please forgive me, I can’t go directly to the lobby to help with such matters.”
“We are already grateful that His Highness is able to come.”
The Grand Prince waved his hand, “It was my idea to ask Lord Shang Shu to persuade Madam Wen not to sue, after all, it would be bad for your business if this matter became a big deal, and Miss Song should not be angry with her any more, peace is precious in all matters.”
Song Wangyue’s face is modest, but her words are not soft but hard, “I will listen to whatever Your Highness says, but I cannot agree to this matter. I’m afraid that if we don’t get a result from the investigation today, we won’t be able to open our shop in the future. My workshop has already been closed and if we can’t open our shop again, we will have to drink from the northwest.”
No one had ever brushed him off like this, and the Grand Prince was not pleased. It was true that he wanted to use the power of the Xu family and the Ding Palace, but if Song Yin was really Chu Yunxiao, all these people would be guilty of a capital crime, and he might be implicated as well.
But then he thought that if he flipped out with Song Wan Yue, he wouldn’t be able to get close to Song Yin and find out if he was Chu Yunxiao, so he suppressed his displeasure.
“What result does Miss Song want?”
“Naturally, we want to clear our names and have Mrs. Wen go to the door of our shop again and say that her face was not caused by our soap and that she framed us.”
How was this possible?
“Miss Song, be merciful to others.”
“The Grand Hall is right, so for your sake, I won’t let Madam Wen pay for the damage she caused to the shop today.”
The Grand Prince’s temples popped.
He knew what was going on, and if he really investigated, Wu Sheng was bound to be found out, and if he couldn’t protect Wu Sheng, the Wu family’s power would not go to him.
“Miss Song really won’t allow a step?”
Song Wangyue looked innocent, “I gave in.”
The Grand Prince, ……
“Yo, what is big brother doing here?”
With an abrupt voice,the second prince walked in.
Hearing the gloomy tone in his voice, the First Prince frowned.
The Second Prince had always been at loggerheads with him, always sticking his nose into everything, and today was a difficult day.
The second prince sat down straight across from him before looking at Song Wangyue as if he was seeing her for the first time today, “Are you Song Wangyue?”
The first prince subconsciously did not want the second prince to talk to Song Wan Yue, and was about to ask Song Wan Yue to go down, when Song Wan Yue already blessed herself, “My daughter Song Wan Yue, meet the second prince.”
“You’re a clever one, no wonder someone begged me to do you this favour.”
A bad feeling rose in the Grand Prince.
The Second Prince waved his hand, “I’ve already ordered someone to take the man to the lobby, so go over there too.”
Song Wangyue blessed herself once again and turned to leave.
“Lao Er, what do you want to do?”
The Second Prince looked at him with a smile and took the tea handed over by his subordinate, fiddling with the leaves without haste, “Naturally, I want to do whatever Big Brother wants to do.”
The former Yamen.
Several people were thrown in the lobby.
Seeing what they looked like, Wu Sheng fell to the ground, these were his servants.
The visitor arched his hand towards the Shuntian Prefect, “Your Excellency, this is what the Second Prince asked to be sent to him.”
The Shuntian governor wanted to faint, how could the Second Prince be involved in this?
“These people are Wu Sheng’s servants, they were involved in what Wu Sheng did, they know everything, this is their confession.”
The visitor came forward and put a few pieces of paper on the table.
The Shuntian governor picked them up and looked at them carefully, and the confessions were almost identical to what Zhang Zhuan had said. He put the confessions down and slapped the wood of the hall, “Wu Sheng, what else do you have to say?”
Wu Sheng closed his eyes and did not say a word.
“The Second Prince has said that Wu Sheng is not the only one who has done this, so please ask the Lord Prefect to investigate strictly.”
Wu Sheng snapped open his eyes, “This matter is my doing alone, it has nothing to do with anyone in the House.”
No one paid any attention to him.
The Shuntian governor gave a direct order, “Go and bring everyone from the Wu family here!”
