The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

Chapter 136 This Marquis of Yongning really has a poor eye for people!

Upon hearing this, Granny Wang was greatly alarmed. She hurriedly denied it, saying, "I'm innocent! I'm innocent! Please, Your Highness, see the truth!"

Granny Wang was truly panicked.

She saw a young woman accompanying people from the Dali Temple to investigate a case, and found it strange, wondering who this young woman was.

Now, this girl claims that she took the jade pendant herself.

How did she find out?! She couldn't possibly have left any evidence herself!

Wang Mama knew that the jade pendant had some history; the servants were saying that it had been passed down for ten generations.

The Yong'an Marquis's family was a wealthy family from the beginning, and even after the change of dynasties, they still held the title of marquis.

The servants all said that it was that jade pendant that protected everyone in the Yong'an Marquis's mansion.

Wang Mama thought to herself, if this jade pendant fell into her hands, wouldn't it also ensure her family's wealth and prosperity?

So they went all in and stole the jade pendant back!

The girl actually admitted that she was the one who took the jade pendant!

And just a few days ago, the heir apparent's wife of the Marquis of Yong'an gave birth.

The prince and princess have been married for many years, and this is their first child. They may never have any more children.

This child will inherit the title in the future.

They were destined to be showered with love and affection from birth.

Coincidentally, her daughter also gave birth on the same day!

She had a bold idea at the time: to switch the Crown Prince's child with her own!

Granny Wang believed that fortune favors the bold.

If I hadn't been so bold all these years, would I have been able to live such a good life?

So a few days ago, I took action in this way, and it was a success; I didn't get caught!

What does it matter if someone comes from a bad family?

She came from a humble background, but through her own efforts, she defied fate and changed her destiny step by step!

Even her daughter's child can become a superior person and inherit the title of heir apparent in the future!

Watching the people in the manor dote on her little grandson, she sighed that everyone in the Yongning Marquis's mansion was a fool, while feeling proud of herself.

Wang Mama wondered if this secret would also be exposed!

Impossible, it's already done perfectly.

Does the Crown Prince intend to have a blood test to verify the child's kinship?

When Marquis Yongning heard Qin Wanying say that it was Granny Wang who stole the jade pendant, he refused to believe it.

He had never witnessed Qin Wanying's true abilities and still harbored doubts about her ability to solve cases.

Besides, Granny Wang has served in the Yongning Marquis's mansion for so many years, how could it be Granny Wang who stole it?

However, since Qin Wanying had just saved him, he couldn't say anything unpleasant, so he said, "Miss Qin, this Granny Wang has served in the mansion for many years. Could you be mistaken?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Wang wiped away her tears, "My lord is wise! How could I possibly steal your things! I have served you for so many years, don't you know what kind of person I am!"

Qin Wanying almost rolled her eyes.

[This Marquis of Yongning is truly bad at judging people. No wonder his house was robbed, all his servants were hired by others, even his grandson was replaced, and he's still speaking up for the person who harmed him.]

Hearing this, Wei Hongwen sighed inwardly; his father was indeed sometimes a bit confused.

He advised his father to investigate the backgrounds of the servants before employing them, but his father, being old, didn't take it seriously, so he stopped interfering.

"Over the years, what you've stolen from the Yongning Marquis's residence is far more than this. Adding the bribes you've embezzled, it's over 100,000 taels."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Yongning's eyes widened.

This Granny Wang embezzled and accepted bribes of 100,000 taels of silver in the Marquis's mansion.

The girl's words sound so credible, they don't seem fake.

"These relatives you've placed in your household have given you plenty of money. You've arranged a total of twelve people in your household, all of them your relatives and friends. If you want to investigate their backgrounds, you can find out everything."

Upon hearing this, Granny Wang turned pale.

This girl actually knew with absolute certainty that she had placed twelve people in her residence!

These twelve people did indeed bring her gifts before they were allowed in.

To avoid suspicion, they usually don't speak at all.

The Marquis was also muddle-headed and didn't investigate the details.

Only then did she dare to assign people to the mansion.

Looking at Wang Mama's expression, Marquis Yongning knew that Qin Wanying had hit the nail on the head.

I trusted that old woman Wang so much, I practically treated the Yongning Marquis's mansion as my own!

How dare she arrange for her own relatives to be placed in the mansion like this!

Qin Wanying began, "Their names are: Wang Qing, Zhao Haiyu, Li Huan'er..."

Qin Wanying rattled off twelve names in one breath!

Marquis Yongning and Wei Hongwen had some recollection of most of these twelve names; they were indeed people from their household!

Qin Wanying has never been to the Yongning Marquis's residence before, so how could she have revealed the entire list?

This girl can even figure out a name?

This is too amazing!

Marquis Yongning originally thought that Qin Wanying probably didn't have any real skills and was just a fortune teller.

I only realized now, what a remarkable person! You really can't judge a book by its cover!

Wei Hongwen was also shocked.

He knew Qin Wanying could know what was going to happen next, but he didn't expect that Qin Wanying could also see past events and even know the names of the people involved!

This is incredible!

Le Xiuyuan was also very surprised, and thought he should wait and see if Qin Wanying's wishes would all come true.

He then thought of the Crown Prince's child.

Where is the original child? Could he have drowned?

Marquis Yongning summoned all the people on the list, and they all knelt down in the outer courtyard.

Everyone kept their heads down, feeling uneasy.

When they saw that the people calling out were all relatives of Granny Wang, and that Granny Wang was already kneeling to the side, trembling, they understood what was going on.

The fact that Granny Wang was arranging people for the household could no longer be kept secret.

In fact, it was normal for Granny Wang, as one of the stewards and servants in the household, to arrange for her relatives to be placed in the household.

Which government office doesn't have such a thing?

The problem was that Granny Wang had arranged for far too many people—twelve in total.

There are only so many servants in the mansion, yet Granny Wang arranged for twelve. This seems like quite a big deal.

When Marquis Yongning saw these people kneeling before him, looking guilty, he was furious.

He asked, "What exactly is your relationship with Granny Wang? Tell me the truth! Even if you don't tell the truth, I can still find out!"

The kneeling person remained silent.

At this point, Granny Wang knew that she could no longer keep her arranging people in the mansion a secret.

However, this was the smallest thing she had ever done.

Hopefully, the girl doesn't know where her house is near the capital, and can't reveal that she switched the children...

“Start with you, and go one by one!” Marquis Yongning said to the trembling maid on the far left.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, this servant...this servant is Wang Mama's cousin..."

"This servant is Wang Mama's nephew..."

......

All the servants confessed, one by one.

Marquis Yongning turned pale with anger, and Wei Hongwen, standing beside him, also had a livid face.

All of Wang Mama's relatives were taken away by the guards of the mansion.

Qin Wanying continued, "Wang Mama used the embezzled silver to buy a house, which is located in the east of the capital, near Wanmu County."

"Right next to the moat, next to that temple tower, the largest house belongs to Granny Wang."
