Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

At the moment when the carriage was about to hit someone, several dark shadows flew over, picked up Mo Yichen, and narrowly avoided the accident.

They also took aside several frightened and crying children.

The out-of-control horse was also restrained by the neck and forced down to control the carriage.

Passersby all breathed a sigh of relief. It was so scary that a stampede almost happened.

Who is so bold as to ride a horse in a busy city?

The people in the carriage rushed down, tumbling and crawling. They were a master and servant. The master was a beautiful girl, but at this moment, her face turned pale, her legs were weak, and she could not even stand.

Passersby were puzzled when they saw this. Where is the driver? He disappeared?

Mo Yichen was also frightened, his legs were as soft as noodles. Wu An stepped forward to support him, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Mo Yichen forced himself to remain calm, but his anger rose as he yelled at the master and servant, "How do you drive? If you drive recklessly in the street, you'll kill someone."

The master and servant both looked frighteningly pale and trembling.

Seeing this, Mo Yichen sighed helplessly and thought, forget it, why bother with a woman.

He bowed deeply to the men in black and said, "Thank you for saving my life, I will repay you later."

The man in black pointed to the Phoenix Tower not far away and said, "Thank my master if you want to thank him."

Mo Yichen looked in the direction of the finger and saw a man and woman with extraordinary demeanor.

"Please allow me to go up and thank you two."

The man in black did not refuse, "Come on."

Mo Yichen pulled Wu An and followed. After walking a few steps, he found that the master and servant had also followed. He felt a little strange, but did not say anything.

The group entered the Phoenix Tower and went straight to the third floor.

Mo Yichen took a look and bowed deeply, "Thank you both for saving my life. Please tell me your name..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a "thump" sound. He looked over and saw the woman kneeling on the ground, crying.

"Your Majesty, please save me, I don't want to die."

Mo Yichen's mind went blank, and he subconsciously looked at Ning Zhiwei, "Your Majesty?"

Ning Zhiwei was wearing very ordinary clothes and no jewelry, but her noble aura could not be concealed.

Is this the legendary empress?

Wu An gently pulled his sleeve, and he finally reacted and knelt down, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

His heart was pounding and his whole body was shaking.

Ning Zhiwei looked at the woman, "Do you know me?"

The woman said cautiously, "I have met Lord Rong. The only one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Lord Rong is the Queen."

This pleased Rong Jing, who raised his eyebrows and asked sensibly, "Who are you from?"

The woman took a deep breath and said, "My daughter, Cui Yanxi, is the daughter of the former Left Censor-in-Chief of the Metropolitan Censorate."

Rong Jing used to be the Minister of the Dali Temple and often dealt with the Censorate. He knew who it was the moment he heard it. "Cui Tianhao's daughter?"

"Yes."

The Qinghe Cui family, the Xingyang Zheng family, and the Taiyuan Wang family are all well-known and prominent families.

There are no poor families in the upper class, and no noble families in the lower class. The royal family is proud to marry daughters from noble families, and no one from noble families would send them to the palace.

Kings come and go, but aristocratic families remain forever. No matter how the dynasties change, the aristocratic families remain stable.

Moreover, they are always present behind the scenes causing troubles in every change of dynasties.

They secretly control the world situation.

This Cui Tianhao is from the side branch of the Qinghe Cui family, and the main branch disdains to serve as an official.

When Ning Zhiwei entered the capital, all the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty naturally no longer counted and were purged according to the list.

Cui Tianhao was not purged, but he could no longer serve as an official and lived in seclusion at home.

Ning Zhiwei's heart moved. This aristocratic family, although it seemed prosperous on the surface, actually, they did all kinds of dirty things.

Originally, they didn't interfere with each other, but recently, the aristocratic family has been making small moves frequently, which always makes things difficult for her.

Then, let’s start with the Cui family.

"Wasn't that an accident?"

Cui Yanxi's eyes were filled with tears. "The carriage lost control, and the coachman immediately jumped out and ran away, leaving us, the master and the servant, in danger without a care."

Ning Zhiwei looked at her and said, "This doesn't prove anything. It only means that the groom is not loyal."

Cui Yanxi shuddered, "There were three accidents this month. If there are too many accidents, they are no longer accidents."

"Once, he vomited black blood after eating."

"Once, someone pushed me into the river, and we still haven't figured out who did it."

If she hadn't been forced into it, she wouldn't have risked it.

She really doesn't want to die.

Ning Zhiwei frowned. Is the Cui family so chaotic? She didn't believe Cui Tianhao didn't know anything about it.

"What's going on with the Cui family?"

Rong Jing knew, "Cui Tianhao has married four wives. His first wife was from a noble family and gave birth to his eldest daughter. His second wife was the daughter of a high-ranking official and gave birth to his eldest son and second daughter."

"The third wife was from the Bai family. She gave birth to a daughter, Miss Cui."

Ning Zhiwei suddenly thought of the Jiangnan Bai family. Could they be from the same family? "A daughter of the Bai family?"

Rong Jing knew the situation of each family very well and could handle it with ease.

"Jiangnan Bai Family, do you still remember? Twenty years ago, the head of the Bai Family had only one daughter. He divided his millions of dollars of wealth into two parts, giving half to his daughter as a dowry, and she married into the Cui Family."

"Half was given to the adopted son, the current Patriarch of the Bai Family."

Ning Zhiwei was a little surprised. "The Cui family should not be poor. Given the noble character of the Cui family, there is no way they would marry a merchant girl, right?"

Rong Jing laughed sarcastically, "We are not poor, but who would complain about having too much money? What's more, the Cui family is extravagant and extravagant, with a huge display and countless servants. A meal costs thousands of taels of silver. Even mountains of gold and silver cannot afford such spending."

"What about the fourth wife?"

"She is the daughter of a minor official and is said to be very favored by Cui Tianhao."

Ning Zhiwei shook his head, "This man is not good, his fate is bad, he will kill his wife."

A man in black came in and said, "Your Majesty, the carriage was fed with crazy grass, so it went out of control."

Cui Yanxi kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to donate all of my late mother's dowry, a total of 10 million taels of silver, and I am willing to contribute to the court."

Wow, ten million taels of silver were donated just like that, what a generous amount.

No wonder some people would do anything to get rid of her.

A woman's dowry is always left to her own children and no one else can touch it.

Any family that uses their daughter-in-law's dowry will be laughed at by the world.

How could the Cui family, a family that values ​​their reputation, lose face?

What to do? If you die, the dead cannot inherit property.

Ning Zhiwei was fighting on two fronts and it was a bit exhausting, so he was immediately happy when he heard this, as the army fighting in the northwest had received pay.

"You won't leave any?"

Cui Yanxi bowed and said, "I believe the emperor will not treat me unfairly."

Ning Zhiwei looked at her deeply. She was at the age to get married, no wonder some people couldn't wait.

As soon as she gets married, she will take these dowries to her husband's house.

"Riding a horse in the street endangers the people and causes irreparable consequences. This case is handed over to the Dali Temple for trial."

Rong Jing immediately understood what she meant. It would be a waste not to use this handle that was delivered to his door.

It's time for the aristocratic family to be knocked down and cleaned up.

He nodded without hesitation, "Okay, I'll do it."

"Someone, tell Cui Tianhao and his wife to go to the Dali Temple."
