Chapter 180 Give her another piece of firewood
Fortunately, there were only two women in the room and her grandson was not seen.
Mu Qingyan has found Prince Ling and briefly told him what happened to the sisters.
Prince Ling didn't react.
Mu Qingyan looked at him for a long time, "Do you know them?"
Prince Ling nodded.
He knew about this before he recommended Yang Yi to serve as an official in the court.
Since Yang Yi entered the Ministry of Justice, he has been investigating various old cases. The death of the Tongzhou prefect, who was a fourth-rank official, was so sudden that even the Ministry of Justice did not file the case. There must be something fishy about this matter.
"Tongzhou was my aunt's fiefdom. The prefect of Tongzhou accidentally learned her secret, which is why he was silenced..."
And the Kyoto Jiaofangsi...
He wanted to ban it a long time ago.
Whenever an official committed a crime, countless women were implicated and forced to become official prostitutes.
But what did these women do wrong? They were girls who stayed at home and never left their houses. But when their families fell into poverty, they were forced to serve as courtesans and were humiliated and bullied.
I guess the eldest princess has made use of the Jiaofang Bureau to make money for herself and win over officials, right?
She had been ready for a long time and was on the same boat with Prince Yong...
When the eldest princess turned around, she saw Prince Ling and Mu Qingyan standing with him.
How come these two people seem to have the ability to predict the future? How come they are prepared for everything?
She didn't know yet that Prince Ling's men had already gone to search the Jiaofangsi.
King Chong and Mu Sinian stood together, hidden in a place where no one noticed, watching the scene after scene. Their faces were not very good.
"Your Highness, if this continues, the Grand Princess will be completely defeated today..."
Prince Chong's solemn expression eased a little, "You have underestimated this eldest daughter of your family, and you have also underestimated my uncle. Neither of them is a person who can be bullied. The eldest princess is just relying on this being her territory, thinking that she can take the upper hand, but she doesn't think about it. The uncle is still the uncle after all. In his career as a prince, he has dodged so many arrows and arrows to get to where he is today. How could he be easily defeated by a woman in the harem?"
She wanted to use the girl from the Zhou family to drag Yang Yi into the water, but Prince Ling turned the tables on her and ruined her own son.
Now he wants to use the official prostitutes in the Music Bureau to drag the Gu family into the water. At the moment, it is still unknown how Mu Qingyan will respond.
In his opinion, today, the eldest princess would have to take out the elite soldiers in her hands and surround Prince Ling and Mu Qingyan, so that she would have a chance to move against them. But this elite soldier could be her amulet, but also her death warrant.
If she dared to act rashly, Prince Ling would arrest her on the pretext that she was planning to start a coup.
She pretended to be sick in order to make trouble for Mu Qingyan. From the moment Mu Qingyan refused to take the bait, the eldest princess was already in a passive position. But she herself had not yet realized it and was still thinking that she could achieve her goal by using these shady means.
As for why the Queen Mother can only be the Queen Mother and Prince Yong is still just Prince Yong, isn't it because of short-sightedness?
Prince Yong thought that with the Queen Mother's support in the court, he would have a chance of winning.
But the empress dowager is just the empress dowager after all. Among the civil and military officials in the court, as long as they have some status and position, who can be a fool?
"It's time to put our plan into action... The Grand Princess's fire isn't burning strong enough, let's add some more fuel to the fire..."
Mu Sinian looked at this young face, but with a deep tone that was rare for a man of this age, and his heart turned cold.
He had probably chosen a path of no return, but now that he regretted it, there was no way to turn back.
If he wants to continue to maintain his current wealth and prosperity, he can only cling tightly to the big tree of King Chong.
"Yes……"
But he couldn't figure out the reason.
Prince Chong also had close ties with Prince Yong. Logically, he should have stood on the side of the Grand Princess and made Prince Ling fall. But he didn't seem to care whether the Grand Princess could do anything to Prince Ling. He was watching the show all the time, and even after knowing that the Grand Princess didn't win, he wanted to add insult to injury.
King Chong used to disguise himself very well. No one knew his true face, but now his true face is suddenly exposed, making it hard for people to cope with it.
The Grand Princess ordered people to carry the bodies of the two women out for disposal. Mu Qingyan glanced into the darkness and someone immediately followed.
The play could not go on any longer, so the Grand Princess thought about covering it up. After all, the attire of these two women showed that they were people who had been in the secular world. In the eyes of everyone, how did they get into Fuyuan? As the owner of this villa, she must know.
Besides, Nanny Chun had just shouted in public that the young master of the Gu family had behaved inappropriately, so she had to give an explanation to the Gu family.
The reputation of a noble son is not something that anyone can slander at will.
At this time, Old Madam Gu and the eldest lady of the Gu family were staring intently at the face of the Grand Princess.
The Grand Princess knew that this matter could not be easily covered up, so she glanced at Nanny Chun, who understood what she meant and knelt down hurriedly, "Please spare me, Grand Princess. I was blinded by my old age and recognized the wrong person..."
Just as the eldest princess was about to speak, Madam Gu interrupted her, "Madam, I don't understand what you said. Just now, you swore that my two grandsons were fighting with women in the backyard, disrespecting their dignity and being unbecoming. Could it be that you just want to brush this matter off with a casual remark that you saw it wrong? Can the reputation of my Gu family's son be slandered at will with empty words?"
Madam Gu's words did not give the host of today's banquet any respect.
The eldest princess and old lady Gu are of the same age. When the two old ladies with silver hair stand together, it is the old lady of the Gu family who has more aura.
The eldest princess showed her cowardice because she felt guilty.
But Nanny Chun is hers, and protecting Nanny Chun is equivalent to protecting her own face.
"Old Madam, you are too kind. You and I are both elderly people. It's not a big deal if we made a mistake. The Gu family has a strict family tradition. We all know the characters of the two young masters. That's why we came here in a hurry to verify it, right?"
Madam Gu sneered, "Seeking proof? I'm afraid the Grand Princess is anxious to prove that my sons and daughters of the Gu family are guilty of defying the royal family. There are only two women's bodies in this room. There is no evidence. No one knows what you were planning!"
"You-you mean to say that I am deliberately plotting against your Gu family!"
Madam Gu raised her chin and said, "The Grand Princess is a daughter of a rich family. If you say it's not true, I will believe it. Even if I don't believe it, I can't provide any evidence, right?"
