Chapter 89: Conclusion
Since that day, Xie Huizhi went to Cao Rong a few more times, and without much effort, he inquired about the follow-up news.
With the memories of the maid ring beside Miss Cao, the people in the second room of the Cao family quickly found a few people who had been bought by Wang Meiru from among their own subordinates, and asked how she was led by the girl of the main family to sneak into Cao Wenying's yard on her back, and stayed alone in the boudoir for more than a quarter of an hour, and then deceived the maid who found her with rhetoric, left the courtyard smoothly, and came back with others half an hour later.
A second-class girl in the courtyard, just because she failed to compete for the quota of Cao Wenying's maid to marry, and was promised by her family to an unsatisfactory object, she became resentful and rebelled under the lure of Wang Meiru's heavy money. She not only provided Wang Meiru with a route to sneak into, but also told the other party where Cao Wenying's important jewelry was collected, and finally, provided the other party with a big red silk silk.
It happened to be the one on the ornament that was used to connect the two jade pendants.
There was also a little girl who was waiting for tea during the banquet, recalling that when Wang Meiru first came, she had a jade pendant tied around her waist, which seemed to be Jiang Shaoliang's appearance of losing the jade pendant. Because it was a little smaller, the tassel was on the long side, which was a little strange, and she looked at it a few more times at the time. But Wang Meiru went to change clothes, and when she came back, the jade pendant on her body was gone, she thought that Wang Meiru had lost something, and then looked all the way to pick up the bargain, but unfortunately she didn't find it.
After the people in the second room of the Cao family beat and scolded these disloyal minions, when they turned around and told the people of the Chengenhou Mansion, it was easy to come to a conclusion: Wang Meiru must have had the intention to calculate Cao Wenying that day.
She didn't know how to steal a jade pendant from Jiang Shaoliang, and took the opportunity of the Spring Banquet to sneak into Cao Wenying's boudoir, steal a jade pendant engraved with Cao Wenying's boudoir, and use a big red silk silk to connect the two together, making a complete ornament, deliberately placed in a conspicuous place, and then she found an excuse to pull outsiders over, just to find the ornament, so as to expose Cao Wenying and Jiang Shaoliang's "private relationship".
The woman who is about to become Donggong Liangdi has an affair with another man, so she naturally loses her qualification to marry the prince. And the Cao family no longer has a second daughter of appropriate age, so they can only give up this plan. At the same time, Wang Meiru, who has the identity of the Cao family's in-laws, seems to have become the only candidate for the Cao family's support in the short term. The Cao family can use her to firmly grasp the crown prince and snatch the prince's favor with the crown princess. By the time the other daughters of the Cao family grew up to the age of marriage, Wang Meiru had already gained a firm foothold in the East Palace, and maybe even the emperor and grandson were born.
This logic is reasonable, but the Cao family is a little incredulous. At the beginning, they just regarded Wang Meiru as the prince's pet, and felt that in order to hold the prince's heart, it didn't matter if they gave him a little sweetness, and they could also use Wang Meiru to suppress the prince's concubine and win more time and transcendent status for Cao Wenying. Who would have thought that the little people they didn't care about at all would play tricks on them and almost ruin their Cao family's plans?
It's almost like it's broken. Now that Cao Wenxiang has broken the facts, as well as the Lin family's deliberate disturbance, the rumors that Cao Wenying and Jiang Shaoliang have a "private relationship" have spread, and it can be said that everyone knows it in the circle of relatives and friends of the Cao family. Although the truth has now been revealed, it is Wang Meiru who is secretly playing ghosts, but there is no clear evidence, and it is difficult to win everyone's trust based on the testimony of a few people in the second room of the Cao family. Rumors are such a thing, since there are many rumors, there are few rumors, and the mouth grows on others, no matter how powerful the Cao family is, it is impossible to block everyone's mouths. Once the palace knows about these rumors, Empress Cao's wishful thinking does not know if it will be affected.
The Cao family was angry and hateful, and at the same time a little annoyed.
When the second room of the Cao family held a spring banquet, it happened to be a few days after Queen Cao decided that Cao Wenying would enter the East Palace as Liangdi. Cao Erye was happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to publicize it, so in the name of spring wine, he invited several relatives and friends to celebrate. Wang Meiru also had the permission of Empress Cao at that time, and was about to enter the East Palace, but her position had not yet been decided. The second wife of the Cao family specially sent a post to Wang Angui's family, hoping that the daughter of the Wang family could form an alliance with her own daughter and work together to deal with the crown prince and concubine in the future.
After the arrival of the Wang family's mother and daughter, Mrs. Cao Er was fortunate to entertain each other. Where did she think that at that time, Wang Meiru had a smiling appearance, supple and gentle, and saluted Cao Wenying everywhere, but she was already secretly planning to frame her daughter? If it weren't for the thief couple who stole the jade pendant, I'm afraid that Cao Wenying's reputation would have been ruined long ago. At that time, the examination was not over, and Wang Angui had not yet been discovered, who would have thought that his daughter would have such courage?
When Mrs. Cao thought about it, she felt God bless. It's just that Wang Meiru's conspiracy failed at that time, but today it is making a comeback. This time it really hurt Cao Wenying, but the impact was not great.
Mrs. Chengenhou said that she would enter the palace tomorrow and explain the matter to Empress Cao, so as to return Cao Wenying's innocence.
Cheng Enhou felt that he could discuss with his henchmen how to make some trouble for the Lin family, especially the Jiangning County Order, which was really unscrupulous. The Cao family can't deal with Lin Zhaoyi for the time being, can't they handle a small seven-grade sesame official?
Cao Erye said that he would send someone to search for the escaped thief couple, as long as they admitted in public that they had stolen Jiang Shaoliang and Cao Wenying's jade pendants, transformed them into ornaments, and resold them to the owner of the black shop, then they could confuse the whole thing. As for the confession of the shopkeeper? That must be his mistake!
Mrs. Cao Er comforted her daughter, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, so she discussed with Cao Rong's mother, Cao Su, to give Wang Meiru a little color. Wang Angui is looking for his own death, his wife, daughter and eldest sister are all responsible for his death, why did Wang Meiru calculate on their Cao family? ! The original trick was done by Wang Meiru in order to compete for favor, and if it failed, forget it. Now that Wang Meiru has already become a lost dog, she has no qualifications to enter the palace, why should she harm people again? !
The second wife of Cao identified the culprit, so she took Cao Su's family and a few good concubines to find the Wang family. They had a quarrel in the Wang family, so that the head of the Wang family and the clansmen decided to lock up Wang Angui's wife and daughter more tightly, and not allow them to go out again, just wait for Wang Angui's case to be closed and the verdict is down, and they can send their mother and daughter to exile.
Mrs. Cao went this time, Wang Angui's old mother had been sick for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, and it was time to die. This old lady has always been very low-key, and she has been ill for a few years and rarely sees outsiders. When the emperor was angry with Wang Angui's family, he didn't think of depriving her of her life together, so the rest of the Wang family didn't dare to go too far with her, but they also felt that she was already a dead person, and as soon as her daughter-in-law and granddaughter left, she could take the property.
Wang Angui looted countless belongings, in addition to the part confiscated by the government, there were also some ancestral properties that could not be moved, as well as hidden treasures that outsiders did not know. The things left by the ancestors, of course, must be owned by the clan, how can they be cheaper for outsiders?
It's just that Mrs. Wang still has a destiny after all. She is dying, nothing else is enough, but her daughter Cheng Wang can't help but come back to give the old man a ride. The Cheng Wang family is still grounded in the Ningguo Marquis Mansion, and the patriarch of the Wang family hesitates, whether he really wants to notify her?
