Xiao Wan's eyes also became serious. This matter should not be underestimated.

She said to Zhao Wenqing, "Yesterday, when the Zhang family was being interrogated, I noticed someone among the audience who seemed particularly suspicious. I asked Zhang Liang to follow him, but he was lost in an alley."

She subconsciously kept Duan Hongyi's matter hidden, thinking it would be better to ask Duan Hongyi in person.

After hearing this, Zhao Wenqing's face also became solemn. This matter must be dealt with seriously, and hidden dangers must be discovered in advance to avoid turmoil in the court!

Moreover, he is on the side of the Second Prince and is loyal to the Emperor. As long as the Second Prince does not do anything harmful to the Emperor, he will still support the Second Prince to ascend the throne.

Xiao Wan then asked, "Master Zhao, is there anything strange about Zhang Xicai's body? Since he's bleeding from all seven orifices, it must be poisoning. If you don't find any signs of poisoning after opening the abdomen, I suggest the coroner examine the body for any needle holes or the like."

When Zhao Wenqing heard this, he suddenly understood as if he had been enlightened. He immediately turned around and ordered the bailiff to find the coroner!

Xiao Wan shouted "Wait", and the yamen runner and Zhao Wenqing turned to look at her.

She continued, "Keep an eye on the Zhang brothers. I'm afraid if they find out something, they'll be silenced."

Zhao Wenqing's face turned even uglier. He stood up and saluted, then went back to interrogate the suspect personally.

After everyone left, Xiao Wan relaxed and leaned back in the stool. It was necessary to talk to Zhao Mingyuan about this matter to make him more vigilant. After all, the second prince wanted to compete for that position.

Of course, compared to others, she hopes that the second prince will take the throne.

At this time, Xiao Ting came in with sweat on her head. Xiao Wan hurriedly asked her to sit down and poured her tea.

Her face was faintly filled with joy, and she said to Xiao Wan excitedly, "Wan'er, I just helped out down there, and I felt pretty good. I seldom worked before, and later I was forced to work at the Zhang family. Now I've been busy with you for a while, and it feels really good. It's also fulfilling to work with them."

Xiao Wan smiled slightly and replied, "Sister Ting, seeing you like this makes me feel relieved. How about this, you come back with me to Yuntai Town Qilixiang to help. My sister is at the branch store, and you can help me at the old store. I'll pay you as usual."

Xiao Ting waved her hand and said, "That won't work. You saved me, and we're a family, so it's only right that you help me."

"Sister, Third Aunt and the others are also helping out in the workshop. They should be paid for any work they do. Even if you get married in the future, you should save some for your dowry!"

"You girl, how dare you make fun of me." Xiao Ting said angrily.

Then, she said solemnly, "Wan'er, I was foolish in the past and did many wrong things to you and Sister Zhen. I also did many wrong things to my second uncle and second aunt. You helped me without holding a grudge, but I still want to say sorry to you. I hope you can forgive me."

Xiao Wan was also very emotional, and pulled her aside, saying, "What happened in the past is in the past. You come and help me from now on, and we will live a good life as a family. As for your mother, she will be released soon. You go back and persuade her."

"Wan'er, my mother is about to come out? How could that be? Thank you, Wan'er, I will definitely persuade her well." Xiao Ting said excitedly.

She didn't expect that Xiao Wan would let Wang go so easily. Xiao Ting felt that the sky had finally cleared up for her family. In the future, she would restrain Wang well, not make mistakes anymore, and live a good life with her family.

As for getting married again in the future, I'll just take it as it comes.

After Xiao Wan rushed back to Dahuaishu Village, she found Zhao Mingyuan and told him about this.

She thought about it again and again, and then said that Yun Kelai might be related to this matter.

Since it concerns Zhao Mingyuan, Xiao Wan doesn't want to hide anything from him.

After listening to this, Zhao Mingyuan pondered for a long time and prepared to rush to the county government office to see Zhao Wenqing to inquire about the situation, and secretly monitor the whereabouts of Yun Kelai and Duan Hongyi.

This matter cannot be left unattended. No one knows who is behind these privately cast weapons. If someone intervenes at a critical moment for the Second Prince, it will be like being attacked from both sides.

Moreover, I heard that after the great victory in the northwest, the enemy was severely damaged and would not fight again for a while.

The news from the capital was that the emperor was very happy, but he never attended court again after that day.

Before the court session ended, the emperor appointed ministers to oversee the internal affairs of the court, with the eldest and third princes acting as regents. No one knew where the emperor had gone. The ministers worked diligently, and for a while, nothing major happened.

The eldest prince and the third prince were ecstatic when they got the chance. Since they were appointed as regents, they both had the chance to be crowned crown princes.

I heard that the two of them were squeezing each other, but were suppressed by the court officials and did not dare to go too far!

It was said that before the court was adjourned, Concubine Zhao also disappeared from the palace, and no one knew where she went.

Zhao Mingyuan waited for a long time but was not summoned by the emperor, so he decided to go to the northwest to find the second prince in a few days.

Xiao Wan nodded and prepared to send him away.

Zhao Mingyuan held Xiao Wan's hand and said with difficulty: "Wan'er, after all, I have let you down. Once the big thing is over, we will never separate again. I will always be with you."

Xiao Wan nodded to show her understanding, but when Zhao Mingyuan left, she still felt a sense of loss.

But she still had a lot of things to do, so she quickly cheered up.

If Zhao Mingyuan really goes to that step, I will never be a woman who is not worthy of him!

Whether it is for herself or her family, she will make herself better!
