Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

The next night, Wen Wanying sent a letter to the Second Prince, Xiao Haoze. The letter described in detail how Yao Jingyi had appeared at the foot of a mountain in a nunnery early in the morning of a certain month and year, and had obviously not returned home all night.

When the second prince saw this, he almost collapsed.

This is what it means for a word to come true.

The bad news came as expected.

If word got out that Yao Jingyi hadn't returned home all night, the Yao family would be ruined, and his mother's life or death would be uncertain. How could he go out and threaten others for help at this time? How could he save his mother?

In a fit of anger, Xiao Haoze went straight to the Yao family.

The Yao family today is no longer the same as it was in the past. Not only has the huge mansion been lost, but the entire Yao family has lost its vitality and spirit.

Apart from the second prince, no one was willing to set foot in their house.

But this time, Xiao Haoze obviously didn't come to give them money and talk about family affection with them.

He went straight to the point and went directly to Yao Xun to ask him if Yao Jingyi had ever spent a night out in the wild.

Yao Xun was immediately stumped by the question and stammered for a long time without being able to say a complete sentence.

When Xiao Haoze saw his expression, he understood everything.

He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave, but was stopped by Yao Jingyi who came hurriedly.

Yao Jingyi asked everyone to leave, leaving only herself and Xiao Haoze talking in the room.

I don't know what she said, but when Xiao Haoze left, although there was still some anger on his face, he didn't mention canceling the engagement.

When Old Lady Yao heard that the Second Prince had come to the mansion and was furious, she hurriedly sent someone to call Yao Jingyi over and asked her what was going on.

Yao Jingyi dismissed her attendants once again and stared at Old Madam Yao for a long time, until she felt uneasy. Then she sneered and said, "Grandma, don't you know what's wrong?"

Madam Yao was startled. "How did Grandmother know?"

"It seems that Grandmother is indeed very ill. She has completely forgotten everything she did," Yao Jingyi said. "Back then, you and Wen Wanying set a trap to harm the eldest daughter of the Shen family, but you failed to harm her and instead forced my mother to commit suicide. You wouldn't just forget such a serious matter, would you?"

"It doesn't matter if you forget, I just remember it," she said coldly, "You harmed Shen Li, and ended up getting retaliated against, which led to me being abducted. Fortunately, those people weren't as vicious as you. They only sent two women to abduct me to the nunnery and didn't do anything else out of the ordinary. So I still don't hate them. I hate you, especially you, old lady. It was you who caused my abduction."

Old Madam Yao widened her eyes in surprise, as if she didn't know her.

Is the person in front of her still her sensible and intelligent granddaughter?

Yao Jingyi then heard her say, "I've always remembered my mother's suicide. I always say that God is fair, so what? Did something happen to the Third Prince? Wen Wanying's prestige has fallen, hasn't it? Ha, when our family was raided, she even stopped me on the road to humiliate me. Now that I have such a good opportunity, how could I let it go? Of course I have to stop her on the road and say hello. In any case, she will be a widow for the rest of her life. If I don't congratulate her, how will she know that she is so evil and hated, and so many people are waiting to see her laugh?"

Seeing her say these words calmly, Mrs. Yao's expression finally showed fear.

"Don't be afraid, Grandmother. I hate you, but I won't do anything to you. After all, that incident left you incontinent. From now on, you won't have a clean day. I'm so happy that I don't need to take action against you. Just watch me and see how I bring ruin to the Wen family and your own family."

After saying so much, she felt a little tired of standing. She turned around and sat on the chair, looking around at Old Lady Yao's room, and said with emotion, "When you were so powerful, did you never think that one day you would live in such a shabby house?"

Without waiting for the old lady's reply, she continued, "Don't you want to know why the Second Prince came here? I'm not afraid to tell you that Wen Wanying told him that I was kidnapped. He thought something must have happened to me and that he would be ridiculed. He came here in a rage, and instead of seeking revenge for my kidnappers, he just acted arrogantly towards me. He's such a coward. If it weren't for the Queen, do you really think I would be interested in him?"

"Grandmother, you don't have to look at me like that. I'm not afraid of you telling others what I said to you today. Anyway, without me in this mansion, you won't have a good life. Your son, your other grandchildren, will all have a bad life. The entire Yao family's hopes are on me. Who among you dares to offend me?"

"Don't worry, I've already told the Second Prince what happened that night. The Empress is also fully aware of the matter. I'm innocent. If he doesn't believe me, he can ask the Empress. Moreover, my misfortune is more or less related to the Empress. He will find a way to investigate it clearly. Even if he can't find out, looking at the Empress's current situation, who else but me would dare to stand with him? I advised him not to fall for other people's divisive tactics at this critical juncture, and it seems that he listened. Grandmother..."

Her voice suddenly dropped very low. She stood up and walked to Old Madam Yao. She bent down close to the old lady and whispered, "Actually, I'm hoping the queen will die."

Looking at Old Madam Yao's eyes that instantly widened with fear, she said calmly, "It's true. I really hope she's dead. I've been with the Second Prince these days, saying I'm helping him find a solution, but in reality, I want to know what he's found out. As expected, the Empress has offended the Emperor. She touched Empress Chu, isn't this courting death? Huh? Grandmother? What's with that expression on your face? Are you involved in this? Oh my God, Grandmother, you... you..."

This time, she was also frightened.

Fortunately, she was resolute and quick to change her mind. She immediately said to Madam Yao, "Let me tell you, the Emperor is disheartened by the affairs of Concubine Liu, the Fourth Prince, and the Third Prince, and doesn't want the Empress's affairs to be known to the world. So, at most, he'll announce that she died of a sudden illness and give her a three-foot white silk scarf. He won't send anyone to execute our entire family, nor will he do anything to the Second Prince."

"But if you want your entire family to be buried with her, then go ahead and shout that you were involved. If you value the Second Prince's status as a prince, even if he can't become the Crown Prince in the future, at least he has a fiefdom to live in, which can ensure that the entire Yao family lives a worry-free life. Then you better keep your mouth shut."

Throughout the whole process, she never addressed Madam Yao as "you".

At this moment, she no longer had the gentle and kind appearance she had outside. She was like a hedgehog covered with thorns, wishing to hurt everyone.
