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

In the capital, the night has already fallen into darkness.

The main courtyard of Xie's mansion was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

Wang Er's bound hands and feet were not loosened, but his gagged mouth was free again, and he kept shouting:

"I am a servant of the Wang family. I am valued by the master in the Wang family. I am not some nameless person. Even beating a dog requires looking at its owner. Madam, you took me into your house without permission. Aren't you afraid of the Wang family's resentment?"

The superficial respect was gone, and the tone was extremely arrogant.

Before Xie Anning could say anything, Wang Yue, who was standing behind him, kicked him in the knee.

"Stop talking nonsense! Tell the truth about what the lady asks you. Otherwise, even if the master is kind enough to forgive you, I can't."

He belongs to Wang Shaofu, and he has only one master, Wang Shaofu.

When Wang Shaofu left Beijing, he left him in the capital with a death order: his wife's safety was above everything else.

Any disturbance must be nipped in the bud.

Just a Wang Er...

Wang Yue drew the sword from his waist and said, "Take it out!"

"No! Don't hurt anyone!" Wang Er looked horrified. He took out the sachet from his sleeve and handed it over tremblingly.

Wang Yue sneered, took the sachet, squeezed it carefully, and after making sure there were no hidden weapons inside, he gave it to Peirong.

When it reached Peirong, it went through another round of inspection before finally being presented to Xie Anning.

She sat on the soft chair, one hand gently stroking her abdomen, the other holding the plain sachet and examining it for a while before looking up and saying, "Tell me, where did you get this?"

Wang Yue thrust the sword at his waist forward and shouted, "Speak!"

"Yes, yes... I will tell you."

Facing his fierce shout, Wang Er's body trembled like a sieve, but he raised his neck slightly and looked at Xie An Ning. Seeing that she was holding the sachet tightly, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she began to stammer and explain.

He said, "It was given to me by the eldest son of the Yao family."

I originally thought that today's incident was related to the Wang family, but I didn't expect it to involve the Yao family.

Xie Anning frowned.

Wang Erdao said, "Madam, you may not know this, but Young Master Yao has regretted breaking off the engagement. When he learned our daughter had gone to Yunzhou, he whipped his horse whip and followed her. After spending several months together... he has impressed her again. However, Master has misunderstood him... That's why he came to you..."

"Impossible!" Xie Anning didn't believe it at all.

In a letter a few days ago, Wang Shaofu also said that he wanted to marry into the Liu family and asked Liu Yueping to give up his son to marry into the Xie family.

If his daughter was really still in contact with Yao Yushu, how could he, as a father, just ignore it, break up the couple, and hastily arrange a marriage?

Besides, who would use a blood-stained token to pray for their future mother-in-law?

He still tried to get her to go to the teahouse by means of seduction and coercion.

This statement is so confusing and full of loopholes that it can be easily seen through.

However, Wang Er showed no sign of panic. He only smiled awkwardly and said, "I blame you for not explaining clearly. You misunderstood me. In fact, only the eldest lady of the Yao family was in the teahouse. She was only there to discuss her son's marriage. She had no intention of harming anyone as you thought."

"Madam Yao sent three visiting cards and four invitations, all of which you declined. Knowing that I once served under the master and hold some influence in your presence, I asked you to come forward, bearing the sachet, and invite you to come and have a chat."

"When the Wang and Xie families made their marriage contract, I received some favors from Master Yao. This time, he came to me and begged me. I couldn't refuse and had to obey. As for the bloodstains on it..."

Wang Dun paused and said, "I don't know why. Why don't you go and ask the eldest lady of the Yao family yourself?"

This explanation is reasonable.

I don’t know if he is just quick-witted or if this is really the case.

The yard became quiet.

Xie Anning fell into deep thought.

According to Wang Er, this matter had nothing to do with the Wang family. He simply owed Yao Yushu a favor and came forward to help Mrs. Yao to discuss their children's marriage.

Yao family.

She had no grudges against the Yao family, and the matter of her daughter falling into the water had long been written off with the cancellation of the engagement.

If it was really Mrs. Yao who invited her, then the trip to the teahouse should not be as dangerous as she thought.

Wan'er, nothing happened either.

Can……

Is it really that simple?

At this moment, Ishihara Qing came back.

He strode into the yard and was stunned by the scene inside.

"What happened?"

Xie An Ning was staring at the dark red bloodstains on the sachet, his mind distracted and he had no intention of helping him solve his puzzlement.

Fortunately, there were guards he left in the courtyard who reported the whole story to their master in a low voice.

Ishihara Qing's brows furrowed more and more, his eyes as sharp as torches staring straight at Wang Er who was kneeling on the ground, and he said in a cold voice: "Whether it is true or not, just bring the people from the teahouse over and ask them, and you will know."

As he spoke, he ordered his attendants: "Go! Invite the people over."

"Yes!"

Several guards left.

At this time, the evening breeze blew gently, and Xie Anning suddenly smelled a strange smell.

It's not the smell of blood.

She frowned, "Isn't that blood on it?"

After he finished speaking, Wang Er, who had been trying to remain calm, couldn't help but show a slight change in his expression.

It's a tension that's hard to capture.

But Ishihara Kyo was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He had handled countless cases and tried countless criminals. He immediately realized that something was wrong.

He snatched the sachet from Xie An Ning's hand, put it to his lips and sniffed it, his expression changed drastically: "Where is the court doctor?"
