The lobby suddenly became quiet again.
Only this time, everyone's eyes deliberately avoided Qian Poxin, but they invariably followed his expression with their peripheral vision, not knowing whether they were watching the excitement or fearing that he would suddenly fall out.
Shen Zhonglei was also stunned at this time, not knowing what to say.
What Li Zian said before sounded to Qian Poxin that he was leaving a way out for Shen Zhonglei.
But in Shen Zhonglei's ears, he thought it was Li Zian who was hinting to him that he should save some face for the governor and not just pursue solving the case, but more importantly, handle it "properly".
But everything developed so quickly. How could the case be solved so quickly?
Thinking back to what Li Zian said in the mortuary before, the people this master likes are really capable!
Whether it was Fan Yuru or Mrs. Tong, it took only a few words to solve the case, which is really hard to accept.
Shen Zhonglei couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He felt a little worried in his heart. Qian Poxin made such a big mistake in the hall, and he didn't know if he would hold a grudge in the future. He might not dare to trouble Li Zian. But if you want to create a stumbling block for yourself, isn’t it easy?
Everyone had their own thoughts, causing the entire Erfu Yamen lobby to remain depressingly quiet, and only the sobs of Grandma Wang could be heard.
"Sir Qian, please don't get angry because of such unscrupulous slaves. You won't deserve to be so angry. You are sincere to them. It's just that they are greedy."
No one expected that it would be Li Zian who finally spoke up to save Qian Poxin.
Upon hearing this, Qian Poxin first showed a bitter smile and said: "Thank you for your comfort, Your Majesty, sir..."
Before he could say the second half of the sentence, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Grandma Wang who was looking at him with tears streaming down his face in surprise.
What does Li Zian's last sentence mean? Why don't you say anything else but say it's just greed?
Grandma Wang has no shortage of food and clothing in the Qian family. Qian Poxin not only reuses her son, but will also take care of her well in the future.
Although she is a slave in name, her life is actually better than that of the old feudal lords from wealthy families. What else is there to covet?
Qian Poxin used to trust Grandma Wang too much. Even if she occasionally did something too much, he would turn a blind eye.
At this time, he had already discovered that the other party was not as loving and kind as he had imagined. When the veil that had been covering the two of them was torn, many things naturally became clear.
Qian Poxin was not a fool, but he was blind and had never thought of it this way.
Once the mind opens up at this time, many details from the past immediately come to mind.
The wife would tolerate her grievances from time to time, the servants would often be evasive, and even the staff would occasionally have something to say...
These little things that he didn't take seriously, now that he thought about it, they were actually tips from the people around him.
It's a pity that I was too slow and didn't realize anything was wrong until someone pointed it out today.
Mother Wang and her son teamed up, one pretended to be powerful around her mother, the other deceived others around her, and she even had her sights set on her newborn son...
Thinking about it, Grandma Wang has lived a good life in the Qian family for many years, and she has long been in a happy mood.
To her, from top to bottom in the entire Qian family, except Mrs. Qian and Qian Poxin, no one could be taken seriously by her.
Even Mrs. Qian is not strong enough because of the difficulty of giving birth, so she often has to look at Grandma Wang's face.
As for Qian Poxin, she had already firmly grasped him.
No matter what mistakes she made, Qian Poxin would immediately soften when she mentioned the friendship she had with him when she was a child.
This kind of life was so comfortable, so when Mrs. Qian finally gave birth to her legitimate son, Grandma Wang only wanted to use this method again to firmly control the next generation of the Qian family in the palm of her hand. inside.
Qian Poxin's back felt cold. If her son's wet nurse also became Grandma Wang's, wouldn't she be holding both her father and son in the palm of her hand?
Does she want to become the next old feudal lord of the Qian family after Mrs. Qian?
The more Qian Poxin thought about it, the uglier his face became. He originally wanted to plead for Grandma Wang, but now he had no such intention.
Qian Poxin stood up suddenly and said: "The case has basically come to light now. I will ask people to escort Song Zifan over. Please handle it impartially, Mr. Shen."
"master--"
Grandma Wang couldn't believe her ears. Based on her knowledge of Qian Poxin over the years, his expression had clearly been shaken when he begged for mercy. Why did it suddenly change again?
She walked up to Qian Poxin on her knees, hugged his legs and cried: "Master, this slave is really just obsessed for a moment, and he has really realized that he was wrong. Please save my life -"
After pleading, Grandma Wang saw that Qian Poxin's expression remained unchanged, and immediately used her trump card: "Don't you remember, master? In order to make the master full, the old slave cruelly left his little son at home so that he was skin and bones. He died when he was less than two years old...
"These days, all my thoughts are focused on the master. Even if I do all kinds of wrongs to others, my love for the master is absolutely beyond words..."
When Grandma Wang mentioned this matter, Qian Poxin's originally firm attitude suddenly wavered.
He looked at his mouth bitterly and said: "Of course I will never forget that my grandma lost a day because of me, and I have always blamed myself for this. I also promised to my grandma that I would take care of my grandma like my own son until the end of her life. Can……"
Those words made the people around him sigh. They didn't know whether they should lament Grandma Wang's self-sacrifice or admire Qian Poxin's love and justice.
At this moment, Shen Tianshu, who was standing next to Li Zian, suddenly couldn't help laughing, and then said with an apologetic look: "Sir Qian, I'm sorry, I'll interrupt you a little, there's something I have to ask. you."
As she spoke, she ignored Qian Poxin's ugly face and asked directly: "When Grandma Wang was a wet nurse for Mr. Qian, did the Qian family give her monthly money?"
"What's your problem!" Qian Poxin asked with a stern face, "How could my family not give you monthly money?
"Not only that, my mother also wrapped a red envelope for grandma. Until now, the gift of three birthdays and two birthdays has never stopped every year."
"That's it." Shen Tianshu clapped his hands and looked down at Grandma Wang who was kneeling on the ground, "As a wet nurse, your master pays you wages, and you feed the master's children. Isn't this what you should do?
"You are not the only one in the world who has milk. If you had been willing to explain that you had insufficient milk, the Qian family would have hired another wet nurse. Would they have forced you to starve your own son to death?
"It's obviously your choice to hold on to the big tree of the Qian family, so why should you be a favor for something that's your duty?"
