After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 794 - 792 Ruthlessness

Mrs. Jiang was Mrs. Tang’s wet nurse, having watched Mrs. Tang grow up from childhood. In her heart, she considered Mrs. Tang as her own daughter.

She knew Mrs. Tang’s temperament.

Once she made up her mind, she wouldn’t persistently delve into a dead-end, become indecisive, or hesitant to torment herself.

Not only would she avoid that, but she would be decisive and straightforward.

Mrs. Tang always avoided seeing people from the Wenyuan Bo Mansion because she truly detested them.

Seeing them would uncontrollably remind her of the things they had done.

If not for the sake of the Old Master, she would have made life unbearable for the Wenyuan Bo Mansion even without Marquis Dongxiang’s intervention.

As she left the courtyard, she walked towards the main yard.

Young Master Su and two others trailed her from a distance.

After following for a while, they changed routes and sneaked through a dog hole to reach the front yard faster than Mrs. Tang.

This would give Mrs. Tang the illusion that they had always stayed in the front yard, never entering the inner yard or touching the goblets.

Mrs. Tang stepped out of the Marquis Mansion.

Madam Wen Yuan was ceaselessly kowtowing.

Upon seeing Mrs. Tang, a wave of bitterness and regret surged in her heart.

She truly regretted it.

Had she known that Mrs. Tang would marry Marquis Dongxiang,

that Marquis Dongxiang would raise the late Heir of Duke Chong’s son, rebuild the Flying Tiger Army, and raise the Emperor’s most beloved princess,

and that this princess would marry the Heir of Prince Zhenbei...

Even if it cost her life, she wouldn’t have allowed Mrs. Tang to marry Prince Qi as a concubine or listened to Princess Qi’s instigation to give her sterility medicine.

With a powerful brother-in-law like Marquis Dongxiang and a princess as a niece, they could stride dominantly throughout the Capital City.

Madam Wen Yuan was filled with regret, she kneeled forward a few steps, pleading Mrs. Tang for forgiveness.

Mrs. Tang’s gaze swept across her face without the slightest warmth.

Mrs. Jiang’s eyes brimmed with hatred.

The person kneeling before her was the murderer who caused her daughter’s death.

Mrs. Tang couldn’t bring herself to seek revenge, so how could she?

How could a mere servant contend with an Uncle’s Mansion?

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, riding on horseback, saw Mrs. Tang stepping out, and though he looked displeased, he felt somewhat apprehensive.

To have raised three such astute children as the late Heir of Duke Chong, Princess Consort Zhenbei, and Young Master Su certainly wasn’t solely Marquis Dongxiang’s achievement.

Rebuilding the Flying Tiger Army while also overseeing children would be unbearable for even an ironman.

Moreover, how could an ordinary person win Marquis Dongxiang’s favor, especially since when Mrs. Tang married him, she had taken sterility medicine.

Such a wise person, yet tolerating the indifferent Wenyuan Bo Mansion, even if kind-hearted, wouldn’t possess such benevolence.

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice suppressed his doubts, dismounted, and greeted Mrs. Tang.

Mrs. Tang was harsh towards Madam Wen Yuan but softened towards the Vice Minister, saying, "Is Lord Lin here to arrest Madam Wen Yuan and her daughter to take them to prison?"

The Vice Minister nodded, "That’s precisely the reason for my visit."

Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "In that case, I must trouble Lord Lin to take them away. Kneeling here at the Marquis Mansion’s door, although we at Dongxiang Marquis Mansion don’t care about outsiders’ opinions, it’s somewhat obstructive."

Madam Wen Yuan felt a chill and hurriedly said, "But I’m your sister-in-law!"

Mrs. Tang chuckled lightly, "My elder brother sold his sister for glory, and my sister-in-law gave me sterility medicine. Are you them?"

Madam Wen Yuan’s face went rigid.

Her throat felt as if it were being squeezed, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Though everyone knew these things, a crowd had gathered around to watch.

Could she openly admit she was the sister-in-law mentioned by Mrs. Tang?

If she dared to admit it, people’s remarks would drown her.

The Vice Minister had met Mrs. Tang before but hadn’t seen her conduct herself so distinctly.

With Mrs. Tang’s rhetorical response, he was truly impressed.

No one spoke for a while.

Mrs. Jiang, losing patience, said, "My lady was deeply hurt by her treacherous brother standing in the way of her happiness, leaving home for over ten years, never seeing them again, having long forgotten their faces. Since Madam Wen Yuan claims she is not that person, why doesn’t she leave?!"

Mrs. Jiang wished to grab a broom to chase them away.

Mrs. Tang knew Madam Wen Yuan wouldn’t admit it; she couldn’t afford to lose face.

Mrs. Tang exchanged pleasantries with the Vice Minister and turned to return to the mansion.

Young Master Su furrowed his brow.

Young Master Shen and the Ninth Prince looked at each other.

The two gazed at Young Master Su, "Something seems amiss with this situation."

Easy as tossing the Holy Grail, the Dongxiang Marquis’s wife was supposed to be striving to save the Wenyuan Bo Mansion, so why was she sending Madam Wen Yuan to jail?

Marquis Dongxiang had meritorious work raising the princess, and the Emperor hadn’t yet rewarded them.

If the Dongxiang Marquis’s wife pleaded with the Emperor, the Emperor would surely oblige, treating the Wenyuan Bo Mansion leniently.

Although the case was investigated by the people of Duke Chong, the eldest daughter of the Wenyuan Bo Mansion had saved the heir of Duke Chong.

If the Emperor were lenient, Duke Chong wouldn’t deter it.

But this situation was truly beyond the Ninth Prince’s expectations.

Not only was the Ninth Prince perplexed, but even Young Master Su himself was baffled.

If his mother were determined to save the Wenyuan Bo Mansion, she wouldn’t have said such heartless words.

As Young Master Su watched Mrs. Tang’s receding figure, his little brows furrowed, unable to loosen.

Unable to comprehend his father’s thoughts was one thing, but understanding his mother’s mind was just as difficult.

This was beyond what his little mind could grasp.

Yet seeing the Vice Minister ordering the officials to forcibly arrest Madam Wen Yuan and the eldest daughter of the Wenyuan Bo Mansion, he couldn’t help but feel elated.

Duke Chong’s Mansion.

In the study. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Both Duke Chong and the Duchess were present.

The servant reported everything that happened at the doorstep of the Dongxiang Marquis’s Mansion to Duke Chong in detail.

Duke Chong furrowed his brows tightly.

The Duchess looked at him, saying, "Is it possible that the Dongxiang Marquis’s wife would be so heartless towards the Wenyuan Bo Mansion?"

This was completely contrary to their expectations.

Isn’t she supposed to exhaust all efforts to save the Wenyuan Bo Mansion?

The servant, unaware that Marquis Dongxiang had invited Duke Chong for a meal to plot against the Wenyuan Bo Mansion, said, "More than just heartless, it seemed as if she wished to drive Madam Wen Yuan away to prevent her from dirtying the doorsteps of Dongxiang Marquis’s Mansion."

Duke Chong’s face darkened.

Though he wasn’t genuinely intent on protecting the Wenyuan Bo Mansion, he hadn’t attempted to ruin it further, and Mr. Zheng had specifically come to inquire with him, only not to heed his instructions in the end.

There must be something suspicious here!

Duke Chong sent for Mr. Zheng to the Duke’s Mansion, and upon inquiry, learned that the Emperor had dispatched a confidante to Yongzhou to investigate the case of the Wenyuan Bo Mansion.

Duke Chong’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, "How could the Emperor possibly send someone to investigate the Wenyuan Bo Mansion’s case?!"

Mr. Zheng looked up at Duke Chong.

Duke Chong was fuming, panting heavily, and the Duchess said, "Are you sure the Emperor wouldn’t?"

Duke Chong confidently replied, "Though the Dongxiang Marquis’s wife hasn’t acknowledged the Wenyuan Bo Mansion, everyone knows her identity. She and the Wenyuan Bo Mansion have a feud, but it’s still her family."

"Who’s to say she wouldn’t plead for the Wenyuan Bo Mansion?"

"If Marquis Dongxiang voiced it out, wouldn’t the Emperor show leniency?"

"Whether the evidence of the Wenyuan Bo Mansion’s corruption is real or fake doesn’t matter to the Emperor at all. Why would he send people to investigate?!"
