Mrs. Wen's accusation made Qiao Yuyan the target of public criticism, and it also made others feel relieved.
After all, every wrongdoer has his own owner, and if the Wen family wants to protect this Qiao daughter, it will be a disaster for the whole family.
But Qiao Yuyan's killing of Princess Jiahe was their personal grudge. If the Seventh Prince showed some mercy, most people would be fine.
But what Wen Qiongyu said just now clearly meant that he didn't intend to directly push Qiao Yuyan out and make people who had nothing to do with the matter worried.
At this time, Mrs. Wen directly pinned the matter on Qiao Yuyan, which greatly reduced the pressure on them.
Qiao Yuyan could tell what they were thinking just by looking at the other people's expressions.
However, this idea is too simple.
The seventh prince's face suddenly darkened, and he stared straight at Mrs. Wen, "What did you say? You said Princess Jiahe was killed by this woman?!"
He pointed at Qiao Yuyan, his eyes still fixed on Mrs. Wen.
Mrs. Wen was already a little scared at this time, but she did not regret it. After hearing this, she could only suppress her fear and nod, "Yes, it is her! The princess's... are still behind, and the murder weapon is in the hands of our master. Everyone knows it.
That's her hairpin."
When the seventh prince heard this, he sent a person to check behind him, then turned to Wen Qiong and said, "Master Wen, this person... was killed by your sixth wife?"
Wen Qiongyu's face was ugly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Your Highness Rong Bing, we have just learned about this matter and are still investigating. At this time, please tell Mr. Qiao
It would be too early to tell whether he is the murderer."
Mrs. Wen was simply mad at his words. This was related to her son's future. As a father, he was still here to excuse Mr. Qiao!
In short, in his eyes, family is important, brothers are important, and sons-in-law are important, but the legitimate son she gave birth to is the only one he despises.
Mrs. Wen quickly said: "Your Highness clearly knows that this person was killed by Mr. Qiao. Many of us saw it just now, and there are both witnesses and physical evidence..."
Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Wen stopped her with a sharp shout, "Shut up! How dare you speak on such a big matter?!"
At this time, the people sent by the Seventh Prince came back, "Your Highness, there is no one in the bamboo forest."
Qiao Yuning suddenly muttered as if she couldn't help it: "Where was the person who was clearly on the stretcher just now moved?"
Her voice was not soft at all, and the seventh prince could hear her clearly, and his stern eyes only wandered around the heads of the Wen family.
Old Mrs. Wen had no choice but to reply: "How can the princess' body be left like this? I was just carried back to the princess's yard."
It means admitting that Princess Jiahe is indeed dead.
The seventh prince immediately sneered, "Very good! Very good! My father, seeing that your Wen family has been loyal for generations, married the imperial sister to your family. Now you actually despise the imperial authority and dare to murder the princess!"
"
Hearing this, Mrs. Wen didn't care about Mrs. Wen's anger at all. She brushed away the hand of the nanny who was holding her and quickly knelt in front of the Seventh Prince.
"Your Highness, Your Highness clearly knows that we treat the princess very well. If you don't believe me, you can ask the maid in front of the princess to ask.
What happened today was all done by Mrs. Qiao. She had a personal grudge with the princess, so she killed the princess and killed her. Please tell me, Your Highness! It is all Mrs. Qiao's fault alone."
The seventh prince turned his back to the firelight and lowered his eyes to look at the kneeling woman. A cold light flashed in his eyes, "Qiao, a commoner woman, dared to murder the princess. Could it be that she thinks Gu Tai is easy to deceive?"
Mrs. Wen didn't know if she was too scared. She didn't understand the seventh prince's words for a while and looked up at him blankly.
Wen Qiong and Mrs. He Wen looked at each other with worry in their eyes.
The Seventh Prince immediately ordered the soldiers behind him, "When someone comes, please first detain everyone in the Wen family on the spot, waiting for the case to be found out, and then be released."
As soon as the order was given, soldiers came over with nooses to pull people away.
Wen Qiongyu immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. The entire Wen family is absolutely loyal to the court, to Your Majesty and Your Highness. There is something fishy about this matter..."
"Since there is something fishy, it is even more important for Yousi to find out," the Seventh Prince looked sideways at Wen Qiong, "Does Lord Wen not trust the Third Division? Or does he not believe that Gu will handle it impartially?"
This was a big label, and Wen Qiongyu did not dare to say anything more.
Old Mrs. Wen couldn't control herself at this moment, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
Even though Old Mrs. Wen has seen many things, the current situation is still beyond her tolerance.
The current prince, or even the next monarch, came to the house with soldiers and had to detain the entire government.
This was her life's hard work. She worked hard, gathered the strength of her whole family, and watched the Wen family rise step by step.
She could say that she had not wronged the Wen family. Even if she went underground, she had the confidence to face the ancestors of the Wen family. She dared to ask the ancestors of the Wen family to judge Mr. Wen.
With this breath, she must fight until the end to show the person who left things alone that she can carry the family without him.
But now it's all over, the entire Wen family is over, and she can almost close her eyes.
Everyone quickly gathered around her, Wen Qiongyu's eyes turned red, and she said to the Seventh Prince in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Jiaci is a second-grade imperial edict granted by the Holy One. Now that he is old, he really can't bear this, so why not?"
Please, Your Highness, be considerate and allow Jiaqi to rest and recuperate."
The seventh prince just looked at her coldly, "Master Wen, Mrs. Wen is not in good health, Gu Ye feels sorry for her, but who can feel sorry for Gu Na's unnecessary death of the imperial sister?
Mrs. Wen was personally conferred by the emperor, but Jiahe was also the father's biological daughter and a consecrated princess!
Now that Gu's imperial sister died tragically in your bamboo forest, and was killed so cruelly by gangsters, you are now here to talk to Gu about human relations and compassion, do you think this is justified?"
After speaking, he turned his back to them and turned to the people under his command, "Listen, the cause of the princess's death is unknown. This matter is related to the reputation of the royal family, and there have been many unidentified spies in the capital recently. At this critical moment, you must
Be alert and check carefully!"
At this time, even Wen Qiongyu couldn't hold it any longer and turned to Qiao Yuyan with a pale face.
Qiao Yuyan had no choice but to stand up. She saluted the seventh prince, "Your Highness, if something happens to the princess, it is natural to find out. But your highness is so powerful. Maybe it is not for the princess, but because he has a problem with the Wen family, right?"
Everyone looked at Qiao Yuyan as if they had seen a ghost. Is she crazy? What good would it do to her to anger the Seventh Prince like this?!
The seventh prince also looked at her in disbelief, "You mean, Gu is deliberately looking for trouble for the Wen family?"
