Xie Ru sneered, "She's your trusted nanny, how could she slander you? Liu Xu, have you always wanted me to die quickly so that my dowry and the entire Weiyuan Marquisate would fall into your hands?"

Liu Xu shook her head vigorously: "No, I don't have such thoughts at all. You really wronged me. I respect my sister the most. How could I wish you dead?"

Xie Ru ignored her and looked at the new emperor Xiao Ling: "Your Majesty, please ask the Dali Temple Minister to call up all the maids and doctors in the palace. I believe they all know the truth!"

The new emperor glanced at the eunuch beside him and shouted, "Master Xuanlin, bring the prisoner into the palace!"

The moment Lin Ran brought in an old nanny and the court physician of Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, little Liu was so frightened that she curled up into a ball.

There was only one thought in her mind at this moment, that was it!

It's all over!

Xiao Ling asked in a deep voice: "What secrets do you two know about the young Liu family in Weiyuan Marquis Mansion? Tell us quickly!"

The court doctor spoke first, "It was Madam who instructed me to conceal Xie's true condition and prescribe herbal remedies that don't cure her illness!"

The old nanny also said: "When boiling the medicine, add the poison that will slowly damage the body. That will make her illness even worse!"

Xiao Ling's expression suddenly changed. He frowned and asked, "Xiao Liu, now that the witness has confessed, do you still dare to quibble?"

Little Liu burst into tears. She knelt on the ground and said, "I know I was wrong. I will never do it again. Please spare my life, Your Majesty!"

Wang Yong looked at Xiao Liu in astonishment and asked in disbelief, "Did you really do it? Xu'er, is what they said true?"

Liu Xu argued sadly, "I harbor resentment in my heart, Brother Yong. It was clearly me who got pregnant with your child first. And because my family has no money, my child has to be raised away from home, unable to enjoy the slightest bit of honor in the Marquis' Mansion!"

Wang Yong sighed helplessly: "You, why are you so confused?"

He originally thought that she was innocent, so he dared to make trouble in front of the emperor, but now, how should he end it?

After thinking it over for a while, he could only speak: "Your Majesty, this is our Weiyuan Marquis Mansion's family affair. I really shouldn't have disturbed you. I will take them back now and deal with them!"

Xiao Ling frowned and interrupted, "Marquis Weiyuan, do you think my imperial study is like a market outside, where you can come and go as you please?"

Weiyuan Hou regretted it deeply. He asked in fear, "Your Majesty, how do you want to deal with this matter?"

Xiao Ling looked at Xie Ru: "Madam Xie of Weiyuan Marquis, what is your request?"

Xie Ru spoke word by word, "This humble servant was nearly killed by this vicious woman. Naturally, I cannot forgive her. I will punish her according to the laws of the Sheng Dynasty. As for Weiyuan Marquis Wang Yong and his other two children, I will expel them from the Marquisate and return the title of Weiyuan Marquis to my son!"

Mrs. Liu was so frightened that her face turned pale and ugly. Xie Ru was going to kill her.

No, she can't die!

She also has to fight for a future for her two children!

She quickly knelt and crawled in front of Xie Ru, begging, "Sister, I was wrong. I was blinded by greed. Please don't argue with me. You can beat me and scold me, but don't send me to the Dali Temple. My children are still young. Can you bear to separate us?"

Xie Ru's brows flickered with coldness as she said in a cold voice, "When you ordered others to poison me, did you ever think about how Xiaoshu would live without me? Or were you planning to kill him too?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Ran, who had been silent the entire time, spoke first: "Oh, right, the mage confessed that someone from the Marquis' Mansion had tipped him off to kidnap Wang Jianshu. He didn't know who it was."

Xie Ru's pupils contracted violently, and she glared at Xiao Liu fiercely: "Is it you?"

Little Liu cried and denied, "It's not me, it's really not me, Brother Yong, please save me, I can't be convicted, otherwise Ah Ye and Ming Zhu will be without a mother!"

Weiyuan Marquis Wang Yong's face was full of struggle. He looked at Xie Ru darkly, "Can you please spare her this time for my sake and let her work like a slave for you when she returns home?"

Little Liu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I can serve you like a slave. Please, sister, I know I was wrong!"

Xie Ru kicked her to the ground, grabbed her collar and shouted, "You even dared to plot against my son! Do you think I can let you off so easily? Liu Xu, you're doomed!"

Before Liu Xu could say anything, Xiao Ling gave the order: "Lin Ran, take her away. Quickly interrogate her and find out how she found the mage. Once the charges are proven, sentence her to death by slicing!"

Xiao Liu's eyes went dark and she fell to the ground.

They actually tortured her to death, what a painful way to die.

She fell to the ground and shed tears of regret: "Brother Yong, save me, save me!"

Before Wang Yong could say anything, Wang Jianye rushed forward and punched and kicked the guards who were dragging Xiao Liu: "Let my mother go! The ones who deserve to die the most are that bitch and the bastard. Go arrest them, why are you taking my mother away?"

The guard threw him away with all his strength, and Wang Yong was so frightened that he immediately rushed forward and hugged him: "Ye'er, don't be impulsive!"

Wang Jianye cried out, "Father, you are not omnipotent. I will not take anything from that bastard anymore. I will return everything to him. I only ask him to let my mother go!"

Wang Yong was filled with hatred. The good relationship between Weiyuan Hou and Xie Ru was ruined.

He glared at her angrily: "Are you satisfied now? Xu'er has been taken away, are you still going to make trouble?"

Xie Ru scoffed, "I want to take back everything that belongs to me. How can that be considered a disturbance? But you, Wang Yong, dare to say that if it weren't for the 100,000 taels of silver I brought into the mansion, your Weiyuan Marquisate would still be here today?"

Wang Yong was speechless, he couldn't deny it.

Back then, his father lost the disaster relief money, and it was Xie Ru who helped the Wang family overcome the difficulties.

He took a deep breath and said, "I admit that I neglected you. I can change in the future, but how can you divorce me? What qualifications do you have?"

Xie Ru asked, "Why am I not qualified? Since the title of Weiyuan Marquis was obtained by me, is it okay for me to take it back for my son? If you can't bear to leave your two children, then get out!"

"You!" Wang Yong looked at her in disbelief, feeling that Xie Ru in front of him was very scary.

Xie Ru kowtowed to the new Emperor Xiao Ling and said, "I beg Your Majesty to grant me a divorce and confer the title of Marquis of Weiyuan on my son, Wang Jianshu. I am also willing to donate another 100,000 taels of silver to the national treasury to support the border troops!"

Lin Yiwan's eyes lit up. Xie Ru is really rich!

Sure enough, Wang Yongqi's face turned dark and ugly, but he was helpless.
