Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 118 The Substitute Actress Counterattacks Bai Yueguang (23)
Shi Qing decided to use the Wu family's affairs as a breakthrough point to bring this matter out.
However, the Wu family was in decline, and when they were hunted by King Chen, the only one who escaped with his life was Wu Miaoyu's younger brother Wu Miaoqin.
He is a member of the Wu family and has been avoiding the pursuit of King Chen. Fortunately, he is also a capable man. With his business acumen, he opened many taverns in the capital, and he had hidden his secret agents in each tavern.
When Shi Qing found him, he already knew that Wu Miaoyu's whereabouts were probably in the Shen Mansion.
But he did not act rashly. He was not a reckless man. Planning revenge for his sister and family was a big deal, otherwise he would not have endured it for so many years.
The table was filled with osmanthus wine. Wu Miaoqin looked at Shi Qing with suspicion. With Wu Miaoyu's reminder, Shi Qing successfully gained his brother's trust.
Wu Miaoqin clenched the wine glass in his hand, with a look of forbearance on his face. He looked at Shi Qing and said in a low voice.
"It was Prince Chen who plotted against the Wu family, and Shen Zhongli who harmed my sister, right?"
Shi Qing nodded and did not hide anything. There was no need to hide such things. Wu Miaoqin would figure it out himself.
"This is a token of her love that she asked me to give you."
Shi Qing handed over a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants. Wu Miaoqin's tears fell and her heart trembled.
When he saw the pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants, he remembered his elder sister's careful teaching to him in the past, but now things have changed.
"Sister Yun, I am willing to lend you a helping hand. When Shen Zhongli is punished by the imperial court, I will personally build a tomb for you."
Shi Qing looked at the young man and said in a deep voice, "Everything depends on human effort. As long as the living still remember her, that's enough."
Wu Miaoqin decided to avenge her sister and use all her strength to destroy the reputation and prestige that Shen Zhongli had built up.
He deserves death for his murder, and it's all his own fault.
Wu Miaoqin knew a lot of people. After finishing the secret talk with Shi Qing, he bribed the people who spread gossip in the capital and spread the news that the daughter of the Wu family died in the Shen Mansion three years ago.
Dou Yao was the first to be held accountable and impeached Shen Zhongli in the court. However, even if Shen Zhongli tried his best to deny it, it was useless.
The newly appointed Jingzhao prefect received an order from his superiors to take people to search the Shen Mansion. Sure enough, Wu Miaoyu's body was found in the pavilions and towers of the Shen Mansion.
Shen Zhongli was originally calm. He thought that without any witnesses, who could prove it? However, he did not expect this.
On the opening day of the court session, Nanny Zhou, who had been dead for many days, unexpectedly appeared in front of the Jingzhao prefecture safe and sound.
Nanny Zhou publicly revealed that Shen Zhongli brought Wu Miaoyu into the mansion three years ago and even forced Wu Miaoyu to have her body.
Later, Wu Miaoyu was killed and her body was placed into the wall of the pavilion and integrated into it.
That day, many people from the capital went to the city. When they heard about such a horrifying thing, they almost fainted. They did not expect Shen Zhongli to be so cruel.
"The usually honest Lord Shen turned out to be such a wicked person. Not only did he ruin that little girl's life, he also made him feel uneasy."
As soon as the words fell, a draft blew through the hall, making everyone feel a chill on their backs, and they always felt that it was Wu Miaoyu who was showing off her power.
Wu Miaoqin knelt in the hall and said firmly, "Please, sir, make a decision for my sister. Lord Shen has taken human life lightly and should be punished like the common people!"
The prefect of Jingzhao glanced at Shen Zhongli and said coldly.
"With all the evidence and witnesses, you still want to lie?"
Shen Zhongli was calm and composed. With Prince Chen backing him up, he didn't think that the little Jingzhao prefect could do anything to him.
"Just a few words, and you want to convict me? Isn't that too hasty? At least make people believe it."
The prefect of Jingzhao was a little embarrassed and looked at Dou Yao. When everyone was undecided, a voice rang out.
"These letters may prove that they bear Lord Shen's seal."
A handsome young man in a Feiyu suit walked into the hall. His ponytail was tied up high, and he looked very high-spirited. Shen Zhongli's gaze fell on the young man's face, and his expression changed slightly.
The person who came was not someone else, but Shi Qing. Even though she was a woman disguised as a man, Shen Zhongli would never forget Shi Qing's appearance. She was holding a stack of letters in her hand, which looked somewhat familiar.
Shen Zhongli remembered the letters that were not burned in the study. After Shi Qing died in the fire, he went to look for the letters, but found nothing!
"Yun Qing, it's actually you..."
He took a step forward, wanting to hold Shi Qing in his arms and ask her why she was still alive after the fire in Guanlan Garden and why she didn't go back to find him.
In the past two months, Shen Zhongli has lost a lot of weight. Every time he gets close to Wen Mian, Shi Qing's appearance always appears in his mind.
However, the person is gone, he kept telling himself this, but who knew that Shi Qing was still alive.
Dou Yao stood in front of Shi Qing, glanced at Shen Zhongli coldly, and sneered, "Sir Shen, if you attack me again, don't blame me for being rude."
Shi Qing handed over the letter he had prepared. The letter was a little yellowed. It was the letter in which Lord Wu asked Shen Zhongli about the whereabouts of his beloved daughter, but Shen Zhongli mocked him.
He bluntly said that Wu Miaoyu was in his hands, and Lord Wu was at the end of his strength and had no power to fight back.
After reading the letter, the prefect of Jingzhao directly imprisoned Shen Zhongli. This matter needs to be reported to the emperor for further processing, and there is no need to be impatient.
After Shi Qing finished everything, he secretly complained and said to Wu Miaoyu who was hiding among the jade Buddhas.
"Miaoyu, when everything is over, you should feel at peace."
Wu Miaoyu's voice was ethereal, but it contained a hint of relief compared to before.
"Thank you, my dear."
After the trial, the people cursed Shen Zhongli with all kinds of nasty words. Some even threw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at Shen Zhongli. The originally handsome Shen Zhongli was now in a miserable state.
Shi Qing didn't even look at him, turned around and was about to leave, Shen Zhongli hurriedly said.
"Yun Qing, you are helping the Wu family to avenge me. Do you have me in your heart? As long as you admit your mistake, I will allow you to return to the Shen family."
Shen Zhongli said shamelessly that in his opinion, Shi Qing was heartbroken by him. He thought Shi Qing had passed away, but the fact that she was still alive was his biggest surprise.
But Shi Qing didn't feel happy.
Shi Qing glanced at Shen Zhongli coldly.
"Since you know my identity, why bother pretending to be nice to me? There's no way we can ever be reconciled. Who would be willing to be your concubine?"
After saying that, she left without even looking at Shen Zhongli, just like when she resolutely left the Shen Mansion that day.
Dou Yao left with Sui Shiqing. Shen Zhongli was controlled by the people of Jingzhao Prefecture and escorted to the Heavenly Prison. He felt a little pain in his heart, as if something important had left his chest.
He was saying Shi Qing's name, feeling a little dazed. What happened in the past month had made him lose his judgment.
Wen Mian's return made him fall in love with her. He discarded Shi Qing and Yun Wanrou like worn-out shoes. It was not until today when he entered Jingzhao Prefecture that he learned about them from Awen.
During this period, Wen Mian always secretly went to the study and even asked for information from various sources, as if he was passing it on to someone.
Even the military garrison map that King Chen left with him was almost stolen by Wen Mian.
That would have been fine, the Shen family had never lacked gold and silver, and Wen Mian was very generous, having spent quite a bit of money in just a few days at the mansion.
Wen Mian even secretly hid some money, as if he was preparing to leave the Shen Mansion.
What else did Shen Zhongli not understand? Wen Mian's return seemed to be intentional. He began to be unable to distinguish between true feelings and false ones, and he just felt a little empty in his heart.
The Shen family seemed to be targeted, but he was careless for a moment and lost the initiative.

Shi Qing left Jingzhao Prefecture and said goodbye to Dou Yao.
Dou Yao was the Marquis of Zhenning and was very busy with court affairs. The return of Prince Chen to the capital was even more urgent. Recently, the situation in the capital had become increasingly chaotic.
She made an appointment with Wu Miaoqin to meet at a tavern.
"I brought you your sister's ashes."
Shi Qing gave the black jar to Wu Miaoqin, which contained Miaoyu's ashes. She had already prayed for Miaoyu's reincarnation, and Miaoyu's life in the next life would surely be smooth and peaceful.
"Miss Yun, thank you so much. I'll come back to thank you after I bury my sister."
Shi Qing said with a blazing gaze, "I'll go with you."
Wu Miaoyu hid in the Jade Buddha and did not show up, perhaps because she was worried that she would be reluctant to leave the world.
Wu Miaoqin chose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. It was the cemetery where the Wu family was buried. After Wu Miaoyu's tombstone was engraved, he buried her ashes and some priceless jewelry in the tomb.
"Sister, I've grown up now and have a lot of money. I can buy you a lot of jewelry and make you the most envied lady in the capital."
"Sister, next time I will be your brother and spoil you. I won't let you suffer any more grievances. The revenge of our Wu family will be avenged one day."
At this point, Wu Miaoqin couldn't control her tears. Wu Miaoyu walked out of the jade Buddha. She reached out to touch her brother's head, but she couldn't touch it.
The dragon and phoenix jade pendants in Wu Miaoqin's hands collided, making a crisp sound. He seemed to have sensed something, stretched out his hand and looked into the distance, and said tremblingly.
"Sister, are you back to see me..."
However, what I got was silence.
Shi Qing buried the jade Buddha in the tomb, and Wu Miaoyu's body was buried there, so she could leave the world at any time.
When leaving, Shi Qing cast a spell to allow Wu Miaoqin to see souls. She left in a carriage, and her plan would not be delayed.
When Wu Miaoyu saw her brother, she left the world quietly, and her eyes became softer as she watched Shi Qing leave.
"My dear, may you be safe and sound, and may all your wishes come true."
Miaoyu turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared. She left in such a graceful and neat manner, as if she was just visiting the world.
In autumn, maple leaves look like fire.
This day was the day when the palace held a welcome banquet for Prince Chen. The banquet was hosted by the Royal Concubine and was very grand and lively, welcoming many court officials.
King Chen was wearing a dragon robe and was in high spirits. He accepted everyone's congratulations with a calm and composed expression on his face, as if everything was under control.
This was indeed the case in the future. The deposed crown prince was not a threat, and Emperor Wenchang had few descendants, so they were not a threat.
However, the palace banquet was already halfway through, and Emperor Wenchang had not yet appeared, causing everyone to be surprised and puzzled, and they sent people to invite Emperor Wenchang to come over.
At this time, Emperor Wenchang was furious in the imperial study. He never knew that Concubine Xian was so cruel.
Although Yun Zhan was not in the palace, he had his spies in the court, and he knew everything that Concubine Xian did.
Emperor Wenchang finally verified who the ghost that Shi Qing was talking about. In the past, if a concubine in the harem became pregnant, the final outcome would be one corpse and two lives, or the fetus would be miscarried. In short, there was no good ending.
