Chapter 179 Exposed
Chapter 179 Exposed
"Hahahaha, sister Shi Nuan is really too naive."
There was a hint of teasing on Zi Jin's delicate face. Her narrow and charming eyes stared at Shi Nuan with a smile, as if she wanted to see through her.
Shi Nuan felt uneasy when she stared at him like that.
"Your brother suspected Prime Minister Shen because of the fire at Fu Mansion. Moreover, he had carefully planned a conspiracy. That night, when Huaying was watching the lanterns, she was separated from her family. Your brother secretly sent someone to knock Huaying unconscious and abduct her to Taohua Village. When she woke up, he lied to her and said that he had saved her."
Zi Jin deliberately lowered his voice, but every word was clearly heard by Shi Nuan.
When Shi Nuan heard this, her heart was shocked, her face was full of disbelief, and she said with trembling lips: "You are talking nonsense, my second brother is not that kind of person."
"Hahahaha, am I talking nonsense?"
Zi Jin laughed so hard that her body shook.
"I might as well tell you that the reason why your second brother is so nervous about the baby in Huaying's belly is because he gave Huaying an amnesia drug. This drug is extremely powerful. Not only did it make Huaying lose part of her memory, it also made it difficult for her to get pregnant. Now that she is finally pregnant, your second brother is naturally very concerned."
At this point, Zi Jin's laughter became even more crazy, "Hahahahaha, sometimes when I think about that poor Miss Shen, who was kept in the dark about all this and knew nothing, I can't help but feel happy for her stupidity!"
Shi Nuan stood there in a daze as if petrified. She stared blankly ahead, her mind in a mess.
"How do you know these things?"
"I have liked your brother since I was nine years old. How could I not know everything about him? How could I find Zui Jiang Yue in Taohua Town?"
Zi Jin threw the question to Shi Nuan.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zi Jin felt much better.
She glanced at Shi Nuan triumphantly.
Shi Nuan was left alone, seemingly lost in deep thought...
"Since the person I'm looking for is not here, I'll take my leave now."
Zi Jin said this leisurely, then left with his personal maid.
It was night time when Huaying came back with Fu Shiyan.
Seeing Fu Shiyan taking good care of her along the way, Huaying showed a happy smile on her face.
Fu Shiyan tucked her in and kissed her forehead gently. "You went for a long walk today. Are you tired, Madam?"
"You've been taking care of me the whole way. You even carried me while we walked. How could I be tired? If you continue to spoil me like this, I'm afraid I'll get spoiled."
Fu Shiyan looked at the dependence in his wife's eyes and felt warm in his heart.
"Who else can I pamper if not my wife? You should have a good rest. I will go to the study to be busy for a while."
Fu Shiyan stroked Huaying's black hair.
Seeing Huaying nod slightly, Fu Shiyan left the bedroom.
It was midnight and everything was quiet except for the flickering candlelight in the study room deep in the courtyard.
At this moment, a rhythmic knock on the door broke the silence.
"Come in." A calm and slightly majestic response came from inside the house.
The door was gently pushed open, and a figure quickly flashed in, then knelt on the ground respectfully.
Fu Feng's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he looked nervous and excited.
"Master, we have found out! The mastermind behind the fire in Fu Mansion was Prince Rui! He was afraid that the old prime minister would expose his crimes, so he took ruthless action first, wanting to cut off the roots and eliminate future troubles!"
As Fu Feng spoke, his hands began to tremble slightly unconsciously, and he carefully presented some evidence in his arms.
These pieces of evidence seem to carry a heavy load of history and injustice, and each one is shocking.
Fu Shiyan sat quietly in front of the desk, his face as calm as water and his eyes as deep as a pool.
Fu Feng glanced at his master carefully and continued.
"Master Zhang is willing to testify in person in the court and expose the conspiracy of Prince Rui. In addition, several officials from the Ministry of Rites also revealed to us that Prince Rui had threatened their family members' lives in private to force them to do things for him. Now, we have all the evidence. Master, when are we going to expose Prince Rui?"
Fu Feng raised his head and looked at Fu Shiyan eagerly, with the flame of revenge burning in his eyes.
However, Fu Shiyan remained silent, and the entire study fell into a suffocating silence.
After an unknown amount of time, his deep and magnetic voice slowly rang out: "I have a letter for my eldest brother. Please send someone to deliver it quickly."
At this time, Shi Nuan, who was standing outside the door to ask her second brother, listened to the whole conversation between the two people in the house. She saw anger flashing in her eyes and bright red blood dripping from her clenched fists...
A few days later, in the court of Wu State.
The emperor finished discussing state affairs with his ministers as usual, then frowned, looking a little tired.
Seeing this, Eunuch Li on the side hurriedly lowered his head and asked the emperor if he wanted to rest. He felt relieved when he saw the emperor slightly shook his head.
Seeing that the ministers had nothing to report, Eunuch Li received the emperor's hint and flicked the whisk in his hand. He was about to announce the adjournment of the court, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Lord Fu walk out of the queue, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
......
Huaying stretched lazily and sat up from the bed with sleepy eyes. Just as she was about to get up, dress and wash up, she saw Shi Nuanfeng rushing towards her.
Shi Nuan looked anxious, and quickly walked up to Hua Ying and said, "Second sister-in-law, you have to go somewhere with me today!"
Huaying struggled to move her body, which had become a little clumsy due to pregnancy, with a faint smile on her lips.
"You little girl, why are you in such a hurry so early in the morning? Where are you taking me?"
A layer of fine beads of sweat had already seeped out of Shi Nuan's nose. She looked up at the sand funnel, estimated the approximate time, and then turned her gaze to Huaying.
He spoke very quickly: "Second sister-in-law, don't ask so many questions, just listen to me. I have already told my second brother that he will come to us when he finishes his work."
After saying that, Shi Nuan didn't wait for Huaying's response. She turned around and told Qinghe to pack her luggage quickly.
Then she came over and carefully helped the heavy Huaying up.
Hua Ying felt a little uneasy. She subconsciously reached out and tightly grasped Shi Nuan's arm, asking, "Did your second brother start overhauling the case for the Fu family ahead of time?"
