: Failure to plan but being plotted instead

Author: Xu Lin

After Shen Zhiyi left, Zheng Fanglan looked at the cup of tea on the table that she had only taken a sip of, and lowered her eyes without saying a word. Shen Zhiyi was right, dignity and face were given to her by herself.

But even if she is right, what can she do? Her father comes from a poor family, neither a noble family nor a distinguished family. It is not easy for him to reach his current position.

If she does anything behind Ren Wanli's back, it will definitely implicate the Zheng family and her father. She has done enough bad things for Ren Wanli over the years, including this one.

Miss Shen Si, I'm sorry. If you want to blame, it's you who offended someone.

"What kind of dignity can I have with my status?"

She laughed at herself, got up and left the flower hall.

Ren Wanli looked at the letter in her hand and chuckled: "Such a clumsy alienation plan."

But after tearing the letter into pieces, he couldn't help but think about what it said. Zhang Pinggui had already recruited her and was going to expose her. Was Shang Junhua planning to push her out and take the blame?

"Girl, Commander Xiao is here."

Before Ren Wanli could get up, she heard Xiao Zian's voice through the door: "The command post is handling the case. Please cooperate with Miss Ren."

The young man was wearing Feiyu uniform, with a long sword standing on the ground, standing at the door of Ren Wanli's courtyard with a cool posture. Ren Wanli was so angry that she almost cursed. Before she could leave the court, he led a group of people to block the door.

"Commander Xiao, what do you mean? Wanli is still a woman in a boudoir."

Ren Dong came over in a hurry, and when he saw his fight, he thought his daughter had committed a heinous crime.

"Ren Shangshu."

Xiao Zian raised his eyebrows and looked at him and said, "Are you trying to disrupt my handling of the case?"

"I don't know what case requires Commander Xiao to do this. I have to go to the main hall anyway. Wanli contracted a cold a few days ago and is still ill."

Ren Dong frowned and snorted, but Xiao Zian raised his hand and said: "Oh, it doesn't matter. It's inconvenient for Miss Ren, so just carry her away."

He didn't give any face to Ren Dong. As he was talking, he actually saw someone coming forward. Ren Dong shouted: "Xiao Zian!"

"Shang Shu Ren, I am polite to you because we are all officials in the same court. Please don't make me angry. Do you understand?"

Xiao Zian was already upset, but Ren Dong still pushed back and forth. If he hadn't considered that he was still a second-rank minister, he would not have given him any face.

Ren Dong closed his eyes and took a deep breath and said: "Commander Xiao said that my family Wanli committed a crime, please inform me."

"Shang Shu Ren can sit in on the case of human life. I only waited outside the Shangshu's house for a quarter of an hour. Miss Ren didn't come out after a quarter of an hour. I had no choice but to use some other method."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zian led people away from here and broke into Ren Wanli's yard just to put pressure on her. He also knew that Zhang Pinggui's mouth alone would not be able to convict her.

But it doesn't matter, he will find a way to pry her mouth open in his hands.

Ren Dong watched Xiao Zian leave and walked into Ren Wanli's yard. Ren Wanli had a plain face. When she saw her father, she cried: "Dad, I haven't done anything, and I don't know Commander Xiao." Why do you have to say I did it?"

She has always wanted to be strong, and crying so weakly made Ren Dong feel a little soft: "Don't you really know why Commander Xiao is looking for you?"

Xiao Zian has never had any unjust, false or wrong cases in his hands. If he can come to his door, it means he already has evidence in his hands.

"My daughter contracted a cold some time ago and has been recuperating at home. Doesn't dad know that?"

Listening to Ren Wanli's reply, Ren Dong sighed: "Wanli, my father only has a daughter like you, and he will pamper you. You must know that Xiao Zian will never do anything randomly."

"If you tell me now, my father can still help you, but if you go to the government, he won't be able to help you at all."

Ren Dong was very aware of Ren Wanli's temperament, and also knew that Xiao Zian had no grievances with him and would not engage in random disputes, so he wanted to hear something different from Ren Wanli's mouth.

"Dad, you don't believe me? I really didn't do anything."

Ren Wanli clenched her sleeves and said sadly: "So what if I go to the government? If I haven't done anything, I haven't done it."

According to the plan, Zhang Pinggui couldn't tell her anything. After all, she didn't come forward, but Xiao Zian found her so accurately. What went wrong?

Ren Wanli, who was preoccupied with other things, did not see the somewhat evasive look of the maid next to her.

When Ren Wanli was brought to the government, she cried so much that Xiao Zian asked Zhang Pinggui's confession to be placed in front of her. She wiped her tears and looked at the confession, and then she realized what happened. It was her personal bodyguard.

The maid was seen.

She looked at the maid with eyes like a knife and then said: "I was not feeling well in those days and had a poor appetite. I asked the maid to go to the street to buy me some food. Is there anything wrong with this?"

“Do I need to go to a rice and grain store to buy food?”

"No one said you can't go to the rice and grain store."

Anyway, this is just Zhang Pinggui's side of the story, and there are no witnesses or anything, so it's not a matter of opening his mouth.

It's just who instructed this maid to dare to betray her.

There was an endless debate in the hall, and the matter got louder and louder. Shang Junhua, who was in the palace, naturally heard about it. She thought Ren Wanli was some kind of smart person, but she was immediately found out.

Thinking of the words in the letter, she stretched out her hand to summon a maid. It would be terrible if Ren Wanli pulled her out too.

If she had known earlier, she might as well have done it herself. She didn't get to eat the mutton, but instead made herself look embarrassed.

On the government side, when Ren Wanli thought about it and couldn't think of who instigated this maid, she saw the maid trembling and knelt down: "Sir, my maid can testify that it was the girl who instigated this maid to go to the rice and grain store.

of."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Before Ren Wanli could pounce on the maid, she was stopped by someone. The maid was still talking about how Ren Wanli ordered her, without missing a word.

When she was taken into custody, Ren Wanli had not yet realized that it was her who was being held tightly in the prison.

When Shen Zhiyi received the letter in the Shen Mansion, he was also very surprised. There was actually a third person in it. Ren Wanli's personal maid retaliated in court.

"It's a pity that my trip to Zheng Mansion was wasted."

I thought it was a big drama between Shang Junhua and Ren Wanli, but it turned out that Ren Wanli entered the game alone.

Shen Shaowei listened to Shen Zhiyi's words and asked: "You originally wanted to use Zheng Fanglan to make Ren Wanli doubt Zheng Fanglan. Let Zheng Fanglan tell the truth. Unfortunately, I didn't expect that there was a third person here."

"The third person is not an outsider, she is Ren Wanli's aunt."

Ren Dong had no children. He only had one biological daughter left by his wife who died young, which was Ren Wanli. He doted on Ren Wanli very much, but he made his concubines dissatisfied.

Ren Wanli was arrogant and bluntly said that as long as she was around, that aunt would never be able to correct her, and she would lead people to bully her everywhere. As the saying goes, the bite of a rabbit that doesn't bark is the most painful.
