The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

Wang Wan's fall into the water was indeed not an accident.

After the answer was confirmed, the interrogation naturally became much smoother.

Among the female officials who came with Nanny Qian, there were people from the Inner Court Interrogation Department. Although they could not torture to extract confessions, they were proficient in interrogation techniques.

It was just a young girl, and since she was already panicking, after just a few rounds, Yao Ronger, the eldest daughter of the Yao family, admitted that she was the one who accidentally pushed the person.

As for the reason, it was different from what Nanny Qian had guessed.

Nanny Qian originally thought that this Miss Yao had a personal grudge with Wang Wan and was unwilling to let her become her eldest sister-in-law so easily, so she pushed her into the water.

After all, even though people are more open-minded nowadays, no mother-in-law would like a daughter-in-law with a bad reputation before getting married.

Even if he was worried that the Wang family would not cancel the engagement, he would have already become tired of his daughter-in-law.

As a result, Wang Wan will have to keep a low profile when she marries into the Yao family.

This is already the most vicious scheme among the women in the boudoir.

But Nanny Qian didn't expect that Wang Wan's fiancé, the eldest son of the Yao family, and Miss Xu who was here just now were also involved.

The girl from the Xu family is named Xinru.

According to Yao Ronger, Xu Xinru, who often came to the Yao Mansion, accidentally ran into her brother and immediately developed a secret relationship with him.

However, the other party came from a merchant family, and with such an identity, the Yao family would never hire her as the eldest daughter-in-law.

And soon, the eldest lady of the Yao family arranged a marriage for her eldest son into the Wang family.

Originally, this was just a girl's wish that ended in vain, so they just kept it to themselves and would get married in the future.

But Miss Xu was unwilling to give in.

She believed that she was the one who met Yao Jia Dalang first and did not want her lover to marry someone else.

The girl from the Yao family had a very good relationship with her and could not bear to see her crying every day. She was bewitched by Xu Xinru and did such a wrong thing in a moment of impulse.

This is what Yao Ronger said.

If you listen to it, you will understand.

Nanny Qian, who had rarely received an important assignment, would certainly not believe one-sided words. Since her mother had made such a big fuss over Wang Wan and her daughter, she would definitely get to the bottom of the matter.

After Yao Ronger finished speaking, Nanny Qian immediately ordered two eunuchs to go outside and get the person.

Xu Xinru, who had just left Yao Mansion, was captured and brought back.

This time, the aunts from the interrogation department were not so kind.

With Yao Ronger's confession in hand, it was possible to torture Miss Xu.

But it was obvious that this Miss Xu was quite aware of the situation. She confessed everything before she was even taken to the punishment hall in the inner court.

It’s more straightforward than Yao Ronger’s.

But her words were different from Yao Ronger's.

Xu Xinru said that she and the young man from the Yao family were in love with each other and it was not unrequited love. However, due to the difference in their social status, her lover could not marry her as his wife, but he also promised to take her as a concubine after marriage.

She understood her lover's dilemma and believed that their love was stronger than gold. She would not be burdened by her status. She would obediently listen to her lover's words and wait quietly to become a concubine of the Yao family.

As for the incident in which Yao Ronger pushed Wang Wan into the water, Xu Xinru said that she was not aware of it and had never instigated her to commit murder.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Ronger, who was separated by a screen, had her acupoints unblocked and rushed out directly.

Then there was a big confrontation.

Nanny Qian and several other female officials did not stop them and just listened to the two people biting each other.

The truth of the matter gradually became clear.

The Xu family is a well-known wealthy family in Hezhou. Although the Yao family is a family of officials, in terms of money, they certainly do not have as much as the Xu family, which has been in business for generations.

Yao Ronger was waiting to be married. Apart from the toys and ornaments given by her elders during the holidays, she only had a small amount of money allowed every month. Xu Xinru, the daughter of a merchant, could become her close friend only because of the money.

Yao Ronger looked down on Xu Xinru because she came from a merchant family, but she also envied her for having endless money.

Knowing that the other party had an affair with her brother, she fully approved of it and became more and more impolite when using Xu Xinru's money.

Yao Ronger had already decided on her marriage and was preparing her dowry, so her appetite for money became even greater.

After all, dowry is private property, and no girl would complain that her dowry is too little.

But this time, Xu Xinru was not so generous in giving.

She cried to Yao Ronger and told her that she would be a concubine under the mistress in the future and she had to keep some money for herself for self-defense.

So, in order to get ten thousand taels of silver, Yao Ronger agreed to let Wang Wan fall into the water in public. Even if she married into the Yao family in the future, she would have to be humble and would never act like a mistress.

The two hit it off.

This is the truth.

After clarifying all the facts, Nanny Qian did not leave, but waited quietly for the other party involved, Yao Jia Dalang, to return home from his duty.

After explaining the matter to the other party, express your desire to hear their side of the story.

Yao Jia Dalang is already in his twenties and holds an official position. Compared with the two girls, he is more calm in the face of emergencies.

However, after hesitating for a few moments, he frankly admitted that he had an affair with Xu Xinru, but he only promised her the status of a concubine and would never favor her over his wife.

As for the incident of his fiancée falling into the water, the younger sister had no intention of harming anyone. It was just that the two girls were confused for a moment.

He will go to the Wang family in person to apologize.

Nanny Qian's order was to find out the truth about the fall into the water. As for how to punish the real culprit after the truth was found out, her mother did not give any instructions.

Yao Ronger and Xu Xinru are not slaves who can be ordered around at will.

After all, Wang Wan is a girl from the Wang family. She suffered so much because of her fiancé's romantic debts, and her family will stand up for her.

How the matter is resolved is the business of the Wang and Yao families.

Therefore, after hearing this, Nanny Qian pointed to a eunuch without saying a word and asked him to go into the palace to report to the imperial concubine, and then immediately led his men away in a mighty manner.

…………

The first thing Nanny Qian did after returning to the Wang family was to go to the main courtyard of the house.

Xie An Ning also knew that this female official from the palace was going to the Yao family today to find out the truth about her daughter falling into the water, so she did not go out all day and just waited for news in the yard.

Seeing Nanny Qian come in, she stood up from the main seat and hurried over to greet her. After exchanging greetings, she helped the other person sit down.

Xie An Ning personally brewed tea and said, "Thank you for coming here personally, Madam. I wonder... how Madam's investigation went?"
