In order to get a taste of Xu's gossip, Xie Ying stayed awake all the time.

As a result, they waited until noon before finally seeing Xie Xiu coming back.

Tu Jiaojiao also wanted to know what happened to the Xu family, so when she saw Xie Xiu coming back, she hurriedly asked, "What happened? Has the person been arrested?"

"Although Xu has always denied it, with the confessions of Sun Qingqing and Tao'er, and the testimony of Doctor Li, it is useless for Xu to deny it.

However, she had just given birth and was too weak. County Magistrate Wang was worried that someone might die, so he did not torture her. He probably wanted to let her recuperate for a few days before interrogating her.

Just wait and see. I have spread the news, and those who are secretly searching for her will definitely find her soon.

Although she is Madam Chu now, she just gave birth and went to great lengths to switch the baby. If those people are not stupid, they will guess it is her!"

"That's good!" Tu Jiaojiao's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down. She sneered, "I'll just wait and see what happens to her!"

As it turned out, Xie Xiu's guess was correct.

Those who were secretly searching for Xu Yiyi found the county government office that night. After revealing their identities, they soon saw Xu Yiyi in prison.

Because she had just given birth and had not yet confessed, County Magistrate Wang was afraid that she would die in prison and would not be able to explain herself, so he specially arranged a clean cell for her and asked a doctor to prescribe medicine for her.

The child was placed in the back court and a wet nurse was found for her.

When these people arrived, County Magistrate Wang was worried about this matter. He was afraid that "Madam Chu" would die in prison, and he was also afraid that her premature daughter would die suddenly.

When he learned that these people had suddenly come to his house, he thought they were looking for trouble with him. He was so scared that he turned pale and almost lost his soul!

It was not until he learned from the other party that "Madam Chu" was actually a fugitive and the daughter she gave birth to was the concubine of the convicted official Mei Qingchuan that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he had returned to the world from hell.

Although this place is thousands of miles away from the capital, half a year has passed since the incident and the news has already reached here. Naturally, he has heard about it and knows that the other party has offended the current emperor and the imperial concubine.

Mei Qingchuan accused Concubine Jiang of disrupting the government. He was not only scolding the Concubine, but also scolding the Emperor for being stupid and all the officials in the court for being incompetent!

How could such a rebellious person have a good ending?

No wonder the imperial concubine wouldn't even let his mistress go!

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Wang was immediately filled with righteous indignation and said with great sorrow, "I never thought that Madam Chu was using a fake identity! She is actually the concubine of a convicted official!

No wonder she would do such things as poisoning people and switching babies! You gentlemen, you don't know, this woman is extremely vicious!

In order to successfully switch the babies, she poisoned a pregnant woman with twins, causing them to give birth prematurely!

Not only that, she also poisoned the mother of the woman who was about to give birth, causing the old woman's old illness to relapse and become bedridden! She was unable to personally take care of her daughter's childbirth!

She even did not spare the newborn baby. Not only did she pinch the child's feet until they were bruised, she also wrapped the child in wet swaddling clothes.

If the child's father had not been alert and discovered it in time, the child would have suffered a great deal and it is not known whether he could have survived. "

When the people who came to arrest him heard this, their faces instantly became extremely gloomy!

It's not that they feel sorry for the child, but they suspect that Xu Yiyi did this on purpose and wanted the child to die in their hands!

Once the news gets out, the world won't know the truth and will only say that they are cruel and inhumane and deliberately killed Mei Qingchuan's concubine!

If that were the case, how could they possibly survive? Death would be the only way to atone for their sins!

They were ordered to arrest Mei Qingchuan's mistress and his unborn daughter, which was a matter that was easy to be criticized.

Once a child dies in their hands, they will naturally have no way to defend themselves and their crime will be even more serious!

This Xu family is really vicious!

Not only did he switch the children, he also wanted to use an innocent baby to take their lives!

Fortunately, the bitch failed to switch the baby, and the Xie family discovered the clue.

Otherwise they will be the ones who suffer!

Several people exchanged glances in tacit understanding, and the leader asked, "We heard that in addition to a maid, Xu also had an assistant who helped her switch the children. Is this true?"

County Magistrate Wang replied cautiously, "That's true, but that person couldn't be considered Xu's accomplice. She was poisoned by Xu, and was forced to help with the substitution."

"She was also poisoned by Xu?" The leader suddenly laughed coldly, "This Xu is truly a vicious woman!"

County Magistrate Wang echoed cautiously, not daring to say anything more.

Fortunately, these people did not ask too many questions. They just asked someone to write a confession and forced Xu to sign it. Then they stayed in the county government office temporarily and only sent someone back to the capital to report the news.

Although County Magistrate Wang was very afraid of these people, he did not dare to drive them away. He could only pray day and night, secretly praying to the gods and Buddhas, hoping that these plague gods would leave quickly.

The news of Xu's poisoning and substitution was quickly reported to the capital, which soon caused astonishment and endless discussion among the court and the public.

Because Xu's confession also included the fact that he poisoned Mei Qingchuan's wife, Li, causing her to be bedridden.

This incident added another stain to Mei Qingchuan's reputation.

Although Mei Qingchuan's property was confiscated and he was exiled, many people privately respected and admired him, believing that he was a true gentleman who dared to speak frankly and criticize the current social ills!

But such a true gentleman actually secretly kept a vicious woman who loved to poison people! She even poisoned his original wife!

Does Mei Qingchuan know Xu’s true identity?

Was Mei Qingchuan kept in the dark about Xu's poisoning of Li, or did he do it on purpose?

Mei Qingchuan's concubine did such a cruel thing, which naturally angered the emperor.

If it weren't for Concubine Jiang's strong dissuasion, he would even order Xu to be tortured to death!

"Although this woman was vicious, her plan ultimately failed and no one was killed. If Your Majesty were to sentence her to death, it would likely spark public outcry."

The charming and enchanting Concubine Jiang gently leaned on Emperor Taihe's back, her delicate hands painted with red nails pinching his shoulders, and she continued with a breath as sweet as orchid, "Your Majesty, why don't you tattoo this woman and exile her, allowing her to reunite with Mei Qingchuan with her daughter?

Your Majesty sent people to send them safely to the border and help them reunite. I think even those imperial censors can't find any fault with Your Majesty."

Emperor Taihe snorted unhappily, "I'll chop those bastards off sooner or later!"

Concubine Jiang smiled and did not respond.

She also wanted to kill those imperial censors, but she was not the one to say that.

What's more, she knew that Emperor Taihe was just talking nonsense and didn't really have the intention to kill.

Now is not the time to kill those people, but if they commit crimes one day and she gets the chance, she will naturally not be polite.

As expected, Emperor Taihe quickly said, "Well, since my beloved concubine said to send Xu's mother and daughter to the border, I will agree to your request."

Imperial Concubine Jiang then smiled and continued, "Mrs. Xu has just given birth, and her daughter was born prematurely. I'm afraid she can't stand the fatigue of traveling. Why not tattoo her first and let her rest well? Wait until the baby is one month old before sending them directly to the border? This is also Your Majesty's kindness."

Emperor Taihe quickly made the decision: "This Xu family has committed numerous evil deeds and their crimes are unforgivable! I will do as my beloved concubine says!"

As long as the mother and daughter reach the border alive, people all over the world will naturally see his kindness.

Emperor Taihe smiled with satisfaction and embraced Concubine Jiang in his arms: "My beloved concubine cares so much about me, how can I not be pleased with her?"

Those bastards, do they really think that he, the emperor, is a fool who lets a woman play with him at her will?
