In the evening, the rain gradually became a trend, and Chen Ying resigned from the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, but did not return home, but turned back to the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Chen Yi's confession is not difficult to obtain, but the content is debatable.

Chen Ying suspects that Cai Juan lied to her master.

A maid coerced Guo Yuan on the grounds of "committing suicide on the spot", this kind of words can scare the county lord who often kills slaves?

Chen Ying was deeply skeptical.

However, this trip is still fruitful, and Chen Ying got the background information of the colorful silk.

The Caijuan family is indeed considered to be annihilated, and the initiator is indeed the eldest princess's mansion.

It all started eleven years ago. At that time, the Cai Juan family opened a small shop to buy dim sum, and there were a lot of monthly incomes, and there were still a few acres of thin fields in the countryside, which could be called solid.

It's just that the shop happened to be favored by a steward of the eldest princess's mansion, and the steward relied on the princess's momentum to buy and filthy her family's unclean food, causing people to be seriously ill, and a complaint was filed to the government office, and Caijuan's father and brother were imprisoned. The steward bribed the cool officials and tortured his father and son, and the mother of the colorful silk scattered all the family wealth before returning to two dying people, and they both died of illness in a short time.

A family without a pillar of support, the days can be imagined, first selling the shop cheaply, then selling the property, and the hard-working mother finally died of illness, leaving the colorful silk and sister to be sold to people by relatives.

The two sisters changed hands several times, the younger sister was young, couldn't survive, died of illness, and the colorful silk was bought by the Chengguo Mansion, from the last miscellaneous to the second-class maid, because of her intelligence and calmness, she was transferred by the Xu family to serve Chen Yi.

In the spring of last year, the eldest princess and the Empress Dowager Xiao were repeatedly impeached, and the case of the Caijuan family was also brought for retrial.

As for the shop and field property of Caijuan's family, because it has changed hands many times, there is no way to pursue it, and Caijuan, as an orphan of the bitter master, was only called to ask once, and then it was over.

Chen Ying always felt that the "hatred of destroying the door" mentioned in Caijuan's suicide note was a little reluctant.

Whether the steward's actions were acquiesced by the eldest princess or whether he acted privately, there is no way to know, and he also died in prison, so it stands to reason that this revenge should be regarded as more than half of the revenge.

However, Cai Juan took revenge on Guo Yuan, and it was still in such a vicious way, which is incomprehensible.

After all, this is the Great Chu Dynasty, not a modern equal rights society, and the status of the noble and the lowly is generally recognized, and Caijuan's hatred for Guo Yuan is a little inexplicable.

In addition, Chen Ying also found a suspicious point from Chen Lu's vague narration.

Yesterday in the Qin Garden, there were two palace people pointed out by Cai Juan in public: one was to carry Fang, and the other was a little palace maid, whose name was unknown.

Chen Ying turned around this time, which was to go to the eldest princess's mansion to find this little palace maid, and by the way, observe the terrain again.

In the death of Cai Juan, she always felt that there was something unfinished, so she had to investigate it repeatedly.

Speaking of which, the left and west of the eldest princess's mansion are also powerful, including the Yongguo Mansion, the Zhaoguo Mansion, and the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, and at the intersection of several mansions, there is also a miscellaneous alley, where people from various mansions live.

Chen Ying made a clever little servant, gave him a few silver horns, and ordered him to inquire about the news, while she herself returned to the eldest princess's mansion first and knocked on the corner door.

Unfortunately, her request was denied, and even if she took out the Imperial Gold Medal, it didn't make much difference.

Liu Changshi of the princess's mansion took a few guards to block the door, and told her very politely: "Several masters are sick, and it is not easy to see guests, please come back at another day." ”

Chen Ying spent a long time talking about the pros and cons of Chen Qing with him, but the other party blindly refused.

She was not easy to break through, and in the end, she had to return home.

And this "chosen date", there is no follow-up.

couldn't get a complete confession, and Chen Ying's detective record was also incomplete, so she asked Pei Shu to transfer it to Emperor Yuan Jia, and gave a hint euphemistically.

However, there was no response.

Two days later, the Xiangshan County master poisoning case and Cai Juan's suicide case were closed at the same time, and the file was sent to the Criminal Department for sealing.

At this point, Chen Ying was completely excluded from the case, and even Pei Shu could only read the file, but could no longer investigate the case.

Chen Ying felt deeply powerless.

Cases that are seriously interfered with by those with the highest authority can only reach an impasse, no matter what the era.

And more importantly, the poisoning case of Guo Yuan represents that the authority of the Great Chu royal family is offended, which is absolutely not allowed, and because of this, all means of retaliation are likely to be acquiesced.

This kind of acquiescence may be one of Emperor Yuan Jia's comforts to the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Immediately afterwards, a marriage decree was issued, and Chen Lu, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yongcheng, was pointed out to Lu Ren, the third son of the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion, and at the same time arrived with a paper order.

The marriage of the Holy Decree is a great glory, but underneath this glory lies a cold and cruel reality.

The maid of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion poisoned the lord of Xiangshan County, although the murderer pleaded guilty to his own crime, however, the dignity of the royal family cannot be violated, and someone must bear the consequences.

Chen Yi is the master of the colored silk, so this consequence will fall on her.

On the day he received the order, Xu fell ill and was bedridden.

Chen Yi was peaceful, taking care of his mother without undressing, and the old lady Xu was personally in charge of the Hou Mansion, and Chen Xun, the Marquis of Yongcheng, expressed his gratitude the next day, and everything was as usual in the mansion.

On the fifth day, the order of the Ministry of Officials arrived, and Chen Xun was promoted to the commander of Jingwei, ranking the fourth grade, and awarded General Mingwei.

Thunder, rain and dew, all are Jun'en, and this order has been given, and the Xu family has a letter.

On the day she got the appointment, Mrs. Xu went to her eldest daughter-in-law's sickbed, closed the door, and talked to her for a long time.

Three days later, Xu's illness recovered, re-in charge of the house, after which he became more and more humble and obedient, respected the old and loved the young, and kept the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion in good order, and was deeply loved by the family.

As the so-called few happy and a few sorrowful, the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion is a mixture of sorrow and joy, but in the Changle Palace, it is dull and depressed.

The eldest princess took Guo Yuan and sat beside the throne of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and the mother and daughter were all in tears.

"Queen Mother, Erchen really doesn't understand, what is Your Majesty doing?" The eldest princess choked up and couldn't make a sound, her red and swollen eyes were dripping with tears, and the thick fat powder was pushed away by the water stains, leaving a few sallow furrows.

Empress Dowager Xiao hugged Guo Yuan, and her eyes were red.

"Imperial grandmother, Gillian is really sad, will Gillian never see anyone again in the future?" Guo Yuan sobbed quietly in her arms, her voice was sad, her porcelain white face was still a little sick gray.

Empress Dowager Xiao felt like a knife in her heart, stroking her back, tears dripping: "Good child, grandmother's baby, poor child, you really suffered this time, it's all because your grandmother didn't protect you." ”

As soon as these words came out, the eldest princess cried more and more into tears, Changle was not seen in the Changle Palace, only the crying was quiet, and the palace people avoided it and did not dare to hear it.
