My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?
Chapter 55: Gu's Showoff
Master Deng and his men called the brother and sister over to ask them questions and then discussed countermeasures.
Madam Deng gnashed her teeth and said, "Who the hell is Shao Xun? How dare he act so presumptuously in my Deng family? I'll report this to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. I want him to disappear from Wuwei Marquis's Mansion!"
After leaving Deng's house, Shao Xun and An Xueming took their men straight to the Dali Temple.
Did the Deng family really think that he would wait for them to come to discuss reconciliation? Dream on.
An Xueming said: "The eldest son of the Deng family is the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. Sending him to the Dali Temple is like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth."
Shao Xun sneered: "If the Deng family has the guts, just let the suspect die suddenly. I would love that!"
An Xueming still didn't understand.
Shao Xun had no choice but to explain to his honest cousin.
An Xueming suddenly realized and looked at his cousin with great admiration: "My cousin is really smart. I am not."
Shao Xun patted his shoulder and said, "You are good at fighting, and this is also good, don't be discouraged."
An Xueming chuckled, his eyes lighting up at the praise from his cousin.
After sending the suspect and the complaint to the court, Shao Xun also gave An Xueming a stern rebuke, which made the matter known to everyone inside and outside the Dali Temple. Only then did they leave.
Deng Hengchang smiled bitterly, cold sweat breaking out on his back.
After ordering the three suspects to be detained and the needle used as evidence to be collected, Deng Hengchang hurried back home.
Lord Shao threw a hot potato to him. On the surface, he handed the person over to the Dali Temple, but in reality, who wouldn't be keeping an eye on Deng Hengchang?
It would be fine if this matter only involved the Wuwei Marquis' Mansion, but it also involves Miss An. Something happened a while ago, and now it happens again. His younger brother is a big suspect, if not a big one.
Besides, he knew his brother's temper very well...
When Deng Hengchang returned home, Deng Hengyan and Deng Yuyuan had already been forced to tell the truth by the two masters, which was almost the same as what Shao Xun said.
Master Deng was so angry that he cursed his unfilial son.
Deng Yuyuan stood by with her head down, feeling guilty, not daring to move.
In fact, she instigated her second cousin to do this.
No one knew that she had always secretly fallen in love with Wuwei Hou, even though everyone said that Wuwei Hou was a bad person, tyrannical, and notorious, but she was fascinated. She even fantasized that one day Wuwei Hou would turn back for her.
Everyone says bad things about him, but she is the only one who values him, admires him, and treats him well with all her heart. She treats him with sincerity, so she should be able to gain some true love from him, right?
Unexpectedly, he got married suddenly, and there were rumors that he treated his new wife very well and protected her very much. Many people also joked that Wuwei Hou became much more mature and sensible after getting married, and knew how to love his wife.
Deng Yuyuan felt even more upset.
Seeing Lin Yulan, he could no longer suppress the jealousy growing in his heart...
Deng Hengyan didn't care. "Even if Shao Xun guessed it right, what does it matter? Can a guess be used as evidence? My family denies it. I want to see which government office dares to use torture to extract a confession."
Master Deng Er also advised his elder brother to be patient.
When Deng Hengchang came back and told them that Shao Xun had actually sent all the witnesses and evidence to the Dali Temple, and had signed a complaint together with An Xueming, the two brothers were stunned.
"Why did he go to the Dali Temple? Didn't he say he would go to Shuntian Prefecture? Didn't he say he would wait for our family to turn themselves in? But he did it himself!"
Deng Hengyan sneered: "When has Shao Xun, that bastard, ever told the truth? Only you believe him, I don't. I think he has lost his mind and actually went to the Dali Temple! Isn't this just right? Big brother, you can deal with him. I want to see him staring blankly and helpless with anger!"
Deng Hengchang frowned, "It's not as simple as you think. The person has been sent to the Dali Temple, and there can't be any mistakes, otherwise people will definitely suspect that I have done something wrong. It's okay for our Deng family's reputation to be damaged, but if it implicates the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince will certainly not say anything because of his reputation, but how will the Crown Princess feel?"
The Deng family members were in a bad mood.
Although the Crown Prince respected the Crown Princess and her position seemed to be impregnable, the Crown Princess had been married to the Crown Prince for many years and had only given birth to a little princess. The Crown Prince had always favored Feng Gengyi, who was brought into the Eastern Palace by chance from the folk.
Although Feng Gengyi was of humble origin and the Empress had issued an imperial decree to confer only the lowest rank on her, she was a special existence in the Eastern Palace. Even the Crown Princess, who had the highest status among the women in the Eastern Palace, would never dare to mistreat or make things difficult for her.
Not only can the Deng family not help, but they are also a hindrance. What does the prince think?
Deng Hengyan said impatiently: "Anyway, that bastard Shao Xun has no evidence, so who cares! It's better for those two rascals and Ah Mo to fall into the hands of my brother than into the hands of others."
This is true.
Look at everything from both sides.
If these three people really fell into the hands of Shuntian Prefecture, they would be even more uneasy.
Finally, the Deng family discussed that, on the one hand, they would properly deal with the three people by using both soft and hard methods to get their confessions; on the other hand, Mrs. Deng and Mrs. Deng II would secretly visit Mrs. Shao tomorrow.
There is no room for discussion on this matter with Shao Xun, but there is a lot of room for discussion with Old Madam Shao.
Who in the circle of powerful people in the capital doesn't know what Old Madam Shao and the second wife of the Marquis's Mansion are thinking?
After Shao Xun made a big fuss at Deng's house, he was worried about Lin Yulan and An Xiaoqi, so he hurried back home with An Xueming.
Lin Yulan and An Xiaoqi looked seriously injured, and both of them lay down in their respective rooms.
An Xiaoqi knew exactly how to create realistic and intimidating-looking external injuries.
Even if people from the Imperial Hospital came, they would never dare to suspect Madam Hou and the daughter of General Zhaoyi. As long as they didn't examine them carefully, they could get away with it.
When Shao Xun and his companions returned home, the imperial physician had already left after seeing the patient. Old Madam Shao sent someone to say a few words of greeting, and Fu's mother and daughter came to take a look, but they also left early.
In Lin Yulan's bedroom, her stepmother, Gu, was sitting on an embroidered cushion and scolding her.
"Why don't you save yourself some trouble? Do you know that the Marquis went to the Deng Mansion because of this matter? If there is a commotion, what's the point! Don't you consider whether you are worthy of offending the Deng family, and don't think about whether you can offend the Deng family. It's fine for you to hide in the Marquis of Wuwei's Mansion, but don't implicate your father and us."
Lin Yulan was seriously injured, and Shao Chu immediately sent someone to inform the Lin family and spread the news.
Gu had long wanted to visit the Wuwei Marquis' Mansion, but had never had the chance, so she took the opportunity and hurried over.
She still resented Lin Yulan for snatching away her daughter's marriage. Seeing Lin Yulan in such a miserable state, she felt extremely pleased. If she didn't scold her now, when would she?
Lin Yulan didn't want to argue with her stepmother. Besides, she was "seriously injured" and probably didn't have the strength to speak, so she just pretended not to hear.
Shao Xun listened through the door for a moment and became angry.
"Mother-in-law is here? It's rare that mother-in-law cares about Madam. I would like to thank you."
