Chapter 121: The most vicious heart of a woman?
Nanny Li's heart tightened, but she remained calm.
"Show me the letter."
The old woman carefully handed the letter to Nanny Li.
Nanny Li opened the letter, glanced at it quickly, and her face turned a little ugly.
Recently, I have been very confused and have many things to talk to you about. Therefore, I invite you to meet me at Jing'an Temple at noon three days later. I hope you will come. I will wait here to help you solve the confusion in your heart and tell you my thoughts.
Please.
Ring.
Concubine Wen's maiden name was Wen Huan. The content of the letter was indeed somewhat ambiguous, but this letter alone could not prove that Concubine Wen had kidnapped the master of the Chen family.
The old lady of the Chen family was very cautious. When she saw Nanny Li finish reading the letter, she hurried forward and put it away without waiting for her to say anything.
"This letter doesn't prove anything. Maybe someone deliberately forged it. Don't make trouble here. Leave immediately, or you won't blame the palace for being rude."
Nanny Li said sternly.
"Madam, I am stupid and don't know why Concubine Wen needs to write a letter to ask my son to meet. However, the words in the letter are too controversial. I beg the prince and princess to make the decision. Today, even if I have to risk my life, I will come to get it clear. If my son has done something unethical, I will not forgive him. I only ask the prince and princess to find out the truth."
When Old Lady Chen said this, the people watching began to talk about it.
"What does this old lady mean?"
"Didn't you hear it? It should be that Concubine Wen and Master Chen are having an affair?"
"what?"
"No way? This man dares to cheat on the prince, isn't that a bit too bold?"
"I heard it. Didn't you hear what the old woman said just now? The two are cousins. I'm afraid they have been lovers for a long time. Could it be that Prince Shun broke them up?"
"Then could it be that the master of the Chen family was silenced?"
"Silencing? No way?"
"What can't you do? Haven't you heard that women are the most vicious?"
......
"you......"
Seeing that her persuasion was futile, Nanny Li had no choice but to turn around and go back into the palace. Her back looked furious.
"Princess, those people refused to leave and took out a letter, saying it was written by Concubine Wen to the master of the Chen family. The words were ambiguous. But I think this letter might be forged."
After hearing this, Princess Shun's eyes darkened slightly.
"Humph, these people are so bold. Since the prince is not here, Yushu, go and call Concubine Wen for me."
At Princess Shun's command, Yu Shu immediately took the order and left.
At this time, the noise outside Prince Shun's mansion was still going on, the people's discussions were getting louder and louder, and all kinds of speculations and rumors were spreading quickly among the crowd.
Ye Xiaoxiao was surprised as she watched the noise not far away getting louder and louder.
What's going on with Shuntian Prefecture?
Why would the Chen family think of suing the authorities?
"General Xiao, the Chen family went to Shuntian Prefecture to file a complaint, but they were not afraid. Was the Shuntian Prefecture governor bribed by Prince Shun?"
"To win over?"
General Xiao snorted coldly.
"This Shuntian Prefecture Governor Song Ben'an is your Majesty's man and has always been loyal to your Majesty. Prince Shun, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to win him over."
Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly realized.
"I see... Song Ben'an, is Shuntian Prefecture Governor a member of the Song family? Then what is his relationship with the Anbohou Mansion?"
General Xiao looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"Anbohou Song Benyuan is the legitimate brother of Song Ben'an. Anbohou is the legitimate son of the eldest branch and inherited the title of marquis. Song Ben'an is the legitimate son of the second branch."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded. It turned out that this person was really from the Song family!
"Mother, isn't this man the uncle of Sister Yaning and Prince Song?"
Liu Yunniang also just realized the relationship between the two. She nodded but did not say anything.
However, when Xiao Mu heard Xiaoxiao mention Prince Song, his eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Liu Yunniang with a somewhat melancholy look.
"Oh, I don't know, when did Xiaoxiao become acquainted with Prince Song?"
It seemed that he was asking Ye Xiaoxiao, but his eyes were fixed on Liu Yunniang, and he looked extremely jealous.
Liu Yunniang noticed the man's strange gaze and glanced at him.
"It was just that we happened to run into the old lady from the Ye family on the street that day and argued with her for a few words. Miss Song and the prince couldn't stand the old lady's face and spoke a few words for us. General Xiao is probably overthinking it, right?"
Who does he think he is? Just a divorced woman. Is there anyone who can compete with him for her? Why is he acting so jealous?
When Xiao Mu heard Liu Yunniang's unfriendly tone, he coughed twice and did not dare to ask any further questions. Instead, he brought up the Shuntian Prefecture Governor's usual style of doing things.
There was no trace of the jealous look from just now.
Ye Xiaoxiao watched how the two of them got along and silently gave a thumbs up to her mother in her heart.
Mother, this is a skill to control your husband!
Inside the palace, the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Princess Shun sat in the main seat with a gloomy face. After a while, Concubine Wen hurried over, her face pale and her eyes full of panic.
Concubine Wen has been in a state of panic ever since the day she was confined to the courtyard by the prince.
That day, the wound inflicted on Murong Jin was very deep. Now, her face was no longer as delicate as before, and looked a little hideous.
So, today, she had a thin veil covering her face, barely hiding the horrific wound.
As soon as she saw Princess Shun, she knelt down and said in a trembling voice,
"Princess, I am innocent. I have never met him before, and Chen Zicong's matter has nothing to do with me. I really didn't kidnap him. I was not aware of the appearance of that person that day... That person clearly deliberately framed my sister. I am really innocent..."
"Then tell me, what about the letter that the Chen family mentioned?"
Princess Shun looked at her crying without a trace of sympathy.
Concubine Wen only heard from the maid that the Chen family had reported her to the authorities, but she didn't know what other letters those people had taken out.
"This... I really have never written any letters, and I don't know what's going on!"
Concubine Wen cried out.
Princess Shun looked at Concubine Wen with suspicion in her eyes.
"Then how do you explain the existence of that letter? And why did the Chen family insist that you kidnapped the Chen family master?"
Concubine Wen burst into tears.
"Princess, I really don't know. This letter must have been forged by someone who wants to frame me. I am loyal to the prince and would never dare to have second thoughts. This person is clearly trying to force me to death. Please, princess, please help me. Where is the prince? Yes, princess, where is the prince? Please let me see the prince. The prince will definitely not be so cruel as to ignore me..."
Princess Shun frowned slightly.
"Your Highness has not returned to the palace yet. Since the people of the Chen family have endured the punishment of being beaten with a needle and a board and still want to sue you, then Shuntian Prefecture will definitely arrest you and take you back. Now that the evidence is before my eyes, how can I expect this princess to believe you?"
Punishment with needles and boards?
The people of the Chen family actually wanted to force me to death?
Concubine Wen was completely panicked.
This is impossible, how could it be such a coincidence?
The prince is not at home today, so why did Shuntian Mansion come to visit today?
