Xie Wanyu never expected that Mr. Sun not only liked men's behavior, but also liked to abuse those men.
None of the waiters around him was intact, each one was injured.
The most serious one was burned and eventually kicked out of the house.
"I think this person is the most suspicious."
Xie Wanyu nodded, but she felt that the matter was not that simple and she wanted to find the person first.
Tai Shuqi's movements were one step faster than hers. When the man was caught, he was about to poison the Sun family and his wife.
Caught red-handed!
This incident quickly caused a stir, and Mr. Sun became the laughing stock of the entire capital.
But I didn't expect that Mrs. Sun and Mr. Sun were unwilling to admit this matter no matter what.
They insisted that it was Da Wu who did it, and that they were just randomly looking for a scapegoat.
Xie Wanyu was furious after hearing this. She rushed out of the crowd, pointed at Mr. and Mrs. Sun and said, "Master Sun has gotten to this point only because of your connivance."
"You knew clearly that he abused the people around him, but you didn't take care of it. Instead, you just let him run wild. Now that he was killed, didn't you bring it upon yourself?"
"You really don't know how many innocent people he killed and how many men died at his hands? Or do you insist that I provide evidence?"
She has already investigated these clearly, and now she has the evidence in hand.
Sun and his wife lowered their heads in shame, knowing that they could no longer argue.
"In this case, I am surprised that the dignified young master of the Sun family would do such an animal thing. As a parent, he did not stop him, but became an accomplice."
Mrs. Sun's expression changed: "..."
Xie Wanyu looked at the two of them with sharp eyes. There was a round of applause and the people cheered.
Dawu was acquitted, and Xie Wanyu took him back to Panyun Mountain.
Aunt He had already prepared mugwort and a brazier, hoping to get rid of the bad luck on his body.
Zhufang ordered someone to prepare a table of food.
Just as everyone was rejoicing, two more uninvited guests came.
Tai Shuyi and Shen Jinyu were in a stalemate at the door, and Xie Wanyu welcomed them in.
And asked politely, "Do you want to have a meal here?"
She just said polite words, but the two of them sat down without ceremony.
Seeing this, Zhufang could only get two more pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
"Isn't the prince very busy recently?"
Tai Shuyi sneered, "Isn't it the same with the Right Prime Minister?"
"I was entrusted by Madam Hou, where is the prince?" Shen Jinyu raised his eyebrows and asked slightly provocatively.
Tai Shuqi glanced at Xie Wanyu, his expression obviously displeased, "Of course I was invited by Madam Hou."
Xie Wanyu paused with the chopsticks in her hand. Why did she feel that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between the two people?
Tai Shuyi and Shen Jinyu looked at Xie Wanyu together, waiting for her answer.
"Well, let's eat first."
Zhufang came out with soup, which relieved the somewhat awkward atmosphere.
Everyone ate this meal with fear.
After eating, Xie Wanyu hurriedly left with her people on the pretext of something happening at home.
On the carriage, Zhu Fang pursed her lips and smiled. He had never seen his wife running away, but this time she saw it.
"You are still laughing. These two are important people in the government. We cannot afford to offend either of them."
Xie Wanyu is not timid, she just doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Since the prince likes this place so much, just take your time in the hot springs." Shen Jinyu stood up and left.
Taishu Ai didn't say a word, and looked at the departing figure with a darker look in his eyes.
Xiao family.
As soon as Xie Wanyu returned to Qiran Courtyard, Taishu Ai came after her.
Seeing the people in the room, Xie Wanyu hurriedly closed the door.
"Your Majesty, it's a clear day, it's not good for you to appear in a woman's boudoir like this, isn't it?" Xie Wanyu rolled her eyes helplessly.
"I have something serious to talk to you about." Tai Shuqi sat down with a solemn expression.
Xie Wanyu rarely saw him like this, so she knew it must be something big.
"Do you know why Xiao Jing is obviously alive, why he hides it, and why he doesn't come back for so long?"
Xie Wanyu pondered for a moment and said, "After losing the battle, he was afraid that the emperor would blame him, so he wanted to make meritorious service and return to the capital."
But this was all her speculation and had not been confirmed. Apart from that, she could not think of any other reason.
"That's right..." Tai Shuyi nodded.
"The enemy country sent 500,000 elite soldiers. Their numbers far exceeded our army. Even though they were waiting for work, they were still defeated miserably. The death toll exceeded 30,000!"
Xie Wanyu's eyes widened: "With so many people, don't we allow the enemy to occupy our border?"
"No," Tai Shuyi said, "The 30,000 troops led by Xiao Jing were all killed and wounded, leaving less than a thousand people. Fortunately, reinforcements have arrived."
"On the battlefield, only a headless corpse was found, wearing Xiao Jing's battle uniform."
Xie Wanyu didn't expect him to be so cunning. Since he wanted to become famous and return to Beijing, she would not let him do so.
"I know what to do." Xie Wanyu curled her lips slightly.
She didn't believe that Xiao Jing could hide forever.
"Madam, please come over here." Zhu Fang's voice came from outside the door.
"knew."
Xie Wanyu responded, glanced at Tai Shuqi, opened the door, and quickly closed it again.
Tai'an Hall.
Mrs. Xiao held a string of bracelets and kept turning them. Mrs. Li and her two-year-old child were kneeling on the ground. Mrs. Li was crying and Xiao Yinshuang was sitting on a chair with an arrogant look on her face.
"Grandma, what's going on?"
Before Mrs. Xiao could speak, Xiao Yinshuang snorted coldly, "This little bastard... the kid broke my jade bracelet. I asked her to pay for it, but she said she had no money."
"Let's see how this matter is resolved." Mrs. Xiao obviously didn't want to take care of it, so she pushed the matter onto her.
Xie Wanyu said with a smile, "We are all one family. Why do you care so much, elder sister? You have more than one jade bracelet."
"That's a white jade bracelet, worth several hundred taels."
Li said in a low voice, "I don't have a few hundred taels of property in my entire body."
"Grandma, my monthly silver has been halved. Since this concubine cannot afford to pay, let her pay." Xiao Yinshuang raised her finger and pointed at Xie Wanyu, with a proud smile on her lips.
Xie Wanyu glanced at her fingers and smiled lightly, "Eldest sister's fingers are so beautiful. It would not look good if one of them was missing."
Xiao Yinshuang's expression changed, she hurriedly took her hand back, and stared at Xie Wanyu with gritted teeth.
Xie Wanyu ignored her at all and said to Mrs. Xiao, "Grandma, all my dowry has been invested in shipping, and I can't get any money out of it at all. You know this."
"How about grandma choose one of the rewards she received a few days ago to compensate the eldest sister?"
How could Mrs. Xiao take it out? She treasured those things very much.
"grandmother……"
"Besides, if it's so precious, why would the eldest sister be willing to let the children play with it?" Xie Wanyu reminded deliberately.
Mrs. Xiao realized that Xiao Yinshuang didn't like these two children from the concubine, so how could she approach them? She looked at her with a stern look.
Xiao Yinshuang let go of her hand in a panic, "Grandma, I, I was accidentally hit by him, and then...then the jade bracelet broke."
"But, elder sister was not like this just now..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Yinshuang roared.
Mrs. Li was so frightened that she shivered.
In the past few days, they had been bullied by this aunt, and they didn't even dare to breathe in front of her.
