Chapter 73: Opening the coffin

The lid of the coffin was opened, and the coffin did not emit the expected smell of corpses. Prime Minister Ye Cheng felt strange, stretched out his head to look into the coffin, and his face changed suddenly.

When Wang saw the old man's expression, he was terrified. The lord won't punish her for currying favor with King Xuan, right? Wang's heart really has no bottom.

At this time, Ye Wanting heard about what happened in the mansion and also came to the Liu family's courtyard.

Ye Wanting came in and walked to Wang's side, hugged Wang and said, "Mother, are you okay?" ”

Seeing her daughter coming, Wang's heart settled down a little, she patted the back of her daughter's hand, and reluctantly said, "It's okay." ”

Ye Xiaoyan tugged Nangong You's sleeve and said, "Let me go." ”

Nangong You did not put her down, but carried her to the coffin.

The two of them stretched out their heads to look into the coffin, and saw a dummy with straw tied in it, stuffed with some dirt in the straw, wearing Liu's clothes, lying in the coffin.

"Father!" Ye Xiaoyan screamed: "Where is my mother's body? ”

Nangong Youye asked, "Prime Minister, where is the body of this king's mother-in-law?" ”

Prime Minister Ye had a calm face, he didn't know what was going on, and asked the Wang family: "What about the body of the Liu family?" ”

"I, I, I don't know wow." Wang's Zhiwu.

Ye Wanting held her mother's hand tightly. When she heard King Xuan call Liu's "mother-in-law", a trace of jealousy and distress crossed her heart. If she marries King Xuan, then King Xuan should call her mother "mother-in-law" today, and King Xuan will not question her mother for the daughter who was born cheaply.

Ye Xiaoyan said: "Madam, I sorted out my mother's body that day, and you said that you would take care of the rest of the matter, and you told me to rest assured." But now......" Ye Xiaoyan cried: "Where did my mother's body go?" ”

Nangong You gently patted the little woman in her arms like a child, and comforted: "Don't be too sad, you still have a wound on your head now." ”

"I ......" Wang was anxious to find a reason. She glanced at Xing'er and Mama Dong standing aside, and she had an idea, and stretched out her hand to point: "It must be these two subordinates!" These two subordinates lost Liu's body. ”

Mama Dong stepped forward with a blank expression, knelt down at Prime Minister Ye's feet, and said, "Master, the slaves and maids are wronged!" ”

Xing'er also stepped forward and knelt down with Mama Dong.

Mama Dong said: "After the second lady sorted out the remains of the second lady that day and left, the eldest lady ordered someone to carry the body of the second lady away. Until yesterday, he ordered someone to bring a coffin, saying that it contained the body of the second lady, and asked the slaves and maids to set up a mourning hall to guard the soul of the second lady. ”

Of course, Prime Minister Ye knew in his heart that it was not these two slaves who lost it, it must be that the Wang family couldn't find the body of the Liu family, so he made a dummy.

Prime Minister Ye Cheng was annoyed. This Wang, if he can't find it, he said that he couldn't find it, and he did such a stupid thing, and even he hid it. If he had known that this was the case, he would definitely not have agreed to let Wanyan take another look at Liu's remains. It's good now, even King Xuan has seen it.

"Father," Ye Xiaoyan sobbed, "where is my mother's body?" ”

Prime Minister Ye glanced at Ye Xiaoyan with loving eyes and asked Wang: "Which of the coffins are the subordinates?" ”

Wang understood the meaning of the old man's words and knew that he had to find a few people to blame, so he said: "It's the concubine's fault, it's the concubine's negligence." The concubine went to interrogate. ”

Prime Minister Ye said: "If you don't confess honestly, it doesn't hurt to kill you." ”

"Yes." Wang understood, turned around and went to "kill".

Ye Wanting helped Wang out of the house and secretly glanced back at King Xuan. Seeing that he had been holding Ye Wanyan, his face was full of love and pity. Since she entered the house, King Xuan hadn't glanced at her, and always paid attention to Ye Wanyan in his arms. Ye Wanting felt a little confused in her heart, if she had married at the beginning, then she would be the one who was loved and pitied.

Ye Xiaoyan watched Ye Fusheng and the Wang family sing and harmonize, knowing that this matter could only end here, she raised her head and said to Nangong You: "Lord Wang, the concubine feels that her head hurts so much. ”

Nangong You said: "Let's go home." ”

Prime Minister Ye Cheng said: "King Xuan is rare to come, let's go after dinner." ”

"No need." Nangong You refused: "Yan'er is injured, it's better to go back and recuperate." ”

Ye Xiaoyan turned her head to Prime Minister Ye and said, "Father, my daughter has been used to serving Xing'er and Mama Dong since she was a child, can my daughter take them away?" ”

Prime Minister Ye readily agreed, and ordered someone to take the deed of sale of the two and hand it over to Ye Xiaoyan.

"Thank you, father!"

Prime Minister Ye Cheng said very caringly: "Go back and recuperate, and I will send someone to send you some supplements later." ”

Nangong You said goodbye to the prime minister, took Ye Xiaoyan out of the prime minister's mansion, and got into the carriage of the Xuanwang Mansion. Xing'er and Mama Dong also followed Qing Fan and them into the carriage behind, and the group returned to Xuanwang's Mansion.

Prime Minister Ye Cheng sent King Xuan away, returned to the study, tore up the book on the table, and asked, "What about the Wang family?" ”

The servant replied, "The eldest lady seems to be in the eldest lady's room." ”

"Ask her to come to the study."

"Yes."

In Ye Wanting's room, Wang and her daughter sat opposite each other, half-hanging their heads, full of regret.

Ye Wanting asked, "Mother, is that really not going to happen?" ”

Wang sighed and said, "Today you have also seen your father's attitude. He saw that the scumbag was deeply favored by King Xuan, and it seemed that he was not going to change it. ”

Ye Wanting said resentfully: "Mother, you too, if you can't find it, you can't find it, why do you want to make a fake, and go to the road to stop that, and give birth to these incidents for nothing." ”

Wang sighed: "I didn't expect that that would become like this after losing his memory. ”

Ye Wanting said strangely: "Those nursing homes are also useless, why don't you just beat her to death." ”

Wang shook his head and said, "If he is really dead, I am afraid that King Xuan will have to wash the Prime Minister's Mansion in blood today!" ”

"He dares!" Ye Wanting said angrily.

Wang remembered the scene at that time and still had palpitations, and said: "You didn't see it with your own eyes, that guard forcibly ripped off one of people's arms." It's horrible! ”

Ye Wanting frowned: "Is it really that cruel?" By the time she arrived, the body had been carried away from the yard, leaving only a trail of blood.

Wang said: "One guard is like this, but what about two guards? What if you add King Xuan? Don't forget, King Xuan was once the commander of the Yulin Army. I don't know if his martial arts are the best in the world, but at least there are not many people in the current dynasty who are his opponents. ”

Ye Wanting still said with a sense of urgency: "Then he doesn't dare to wash the Prime Minister's Mansion in blood!" ”

Wang sighed and said, "Daughter! Although your father is the prime minister, in the final analysis, this world is the royal world and the world of the Nangong family. We don't care what that does, but if King Xuan does anything to our Prime Minister's Mansion for her, it may be a disaster. ”

Ye Wanting was puzzled: "King Xuan is really so powerful?" Then why did you agree when I said I wouldn't get married?"

Wang said: "Wasn't he crippled at that time, he became a waste. Naturally, the waste people don't have to take it to heart. But now that he's better, he can't help but take it to heart! ”

Ye Wanting also regretted it in her heart, she knew why she had to do it today.

The mother and daughter were regretting, and the next person came to report, and the lord asked the eldest lady to go to the study.
