"Because of this, the prince is particularly gracious to you and Zhu Xiu, letting you be the stewards of the prince's palace. The wages are the highest, and all matters on the post are decided by you."
"But you are too greedy. It is precisely because you thought your dead mother was the prince's wet nurse that I did not hand over these testimonies and account books to the government to convict you."
Mu Lingwei didn't want to deal with these things, and it would be thankless to offend people without saying anything. But Jun Mohan gave her his seal, and she couldn't pretend to know nothing.
When Wang Fu heard that he wanted to report to the official, he quickly softened his attitude: "The princess can ask the servant to leave the pile, but for my wife and daughter, the princess has to have them released first."
He had already found out clearly that Zhu Xiu and his daughter had been taken away by the government.
At this moment, a guard hurriedly came in and said, "I see you, Princess."
"What happened?" Mu Lingwei asked.
"The princess asked her subordinates to take Zhu Xiu and Wang Huan'er out, but they died in prison." The guard added, "Zhang Zhenniang also died suddenly."
Mu Lingwei was suddenly startled and stood up from the soft chair, "His Royal Highness Prince Ping has been dealing with this matter. How could a person die suddenly?"
"He was poisoned to death..."
So, the guard told what happened again.
"Ling Wei, who is so bold and dares to kill people in the prison?" Gu Panpan said in shock.
Before Mu Lingwei could speak, Wang Fu started crying and shouting: "Why are they dead? We have no credit for the palace, but we have worked hard. They did something wrong and they already knew it was wrong. The princess didn't really
Killed."
"But Huan'er and Axiu, they were taken advantage of. They died miserably!"
"Shut up, if you want to cry, go out and cry." Mu Lingwei was so noisy that she had a headache, and said: "Even Zhang Zhenniang is dead, it must be someone from the Shen family who did it. They knew that the emperor had exempted her from the death penalty.
It’s so audacious to dare to do this.”
"Are you saying that the Shen family is causing trouble secretly?" Gu Panpan asked.
"Jun Yi's side should be conducting a strict investigation, but the person is already dead. Pan Pan, you have to be careful, I'm afraid Shen Chen will do something to you." Mu Lingwei said worriedly.
She said to Wang Fu again: "I will let someone handle your matter. You should step aside first. The deaths of Zhu Xiu and Wang Huan'er must be related to the Shen family. It is useless for you to make trouble in the palace. I advise you to be honest."
, It is a fact that they want to climb up to Shen Yu, to climb up to the dragon and the phoenix. They have no such intention, and they will not be easily taken advantage of. They should have thought that such a day would come when they seek skin from a tiger."
Soon, Wang Fu was also taken away. His daughter and wife were both dead, and they were related to the Shen family. He also regretted not persuading them.
At this time, the carriage that Gu Mansion came to pick up Gu Panpan also stopped in front of the Anyang Prince's Mansion.
Or Gu Yushi would come to pick him up in person.
Mu Lingwei sent Gu Panpan to the door. Gu Yushi opened the car curtain and looked very unhappy.
"Dad." Gu Panpan stepped forward.
"You still know that I am your father. You have become more capable and are acting more and more nonsense." Gu Yushi was so angry that he didn't see his daughter when he came out of Jingzhao Mansion Yamen. When he returned to the house, he still didn't see her.
, and later I found out after asking the maid that she went to Anyang Prince's Mansion again.
"Dad, I am doing good things..."
Gu Yushi said angrily: "Okay, get in the car first."
Mu Lingwei knew that Gu Yushi was angry, who dared to offend the Shen family!
He is a royal censor, so he doesn't dare.
So, Mu Lingwei also stepped forward and said, "Uncle Gu, don't go in for a cup of tea before leaving. Panpan and I are good friends. If uncle doesn't come in, it would seem that I am not polite enough."
Gu Yushi also bowed his hand towards her and said: "I met the princess. It was raining outside, so the official refused to go in. Panpan was naughty and caused trouble to the princess. However, the princess has a distinguished status, and Panpan is just a confidant.
As the youngest and middle-aged daughter, I still hope that the princess will stop interacting with Panpan."
Mu Lingwei thought to herself: "Gu Yushi probably also knew that someone died in the prison, so he came to pick up Panpan in person?"
"Dad, what are you talking about? Ling Wei is my daughter's good friend, and my grandmother has no objection to her daughter's friendship with the princess." Gu Panpan said anxiously.
"Shut up." Gu Yushi said angrily: "Your mother is sick."
He made any excuse at random.
"Ah! What's wrong with mother? How could she be sick?" Gu Panpan exclaimed in shock.
"I was infected with the cold and kept talking about you, so daddy came here to look for you in person." After all, Gu Yushi couldn't bear to blame his daughter, and he knew that she had done nothing wrong.
Such a major event happened in the imperial city. Even if there was no petition from the people, as a censor, he should not just sit idly by and ignore it.
But...he...
Seeing that her father's attitude softened, Gu Panpan quickly said: "Ling Wei, I will go back home to visit my mother first, and then I will come to find you. You must pay attention to your safety. If you have anything to do, ask someone to send me a message."
Mu Lingwei smiled and said, "Okay."
She glanced at the door of the palace again and seemed to catch a glimpse of Bai Changyan's figure.
So, Gu Panpan said to her father again: "I left my clothes and jewelry in there. Dad, please wait for me and I will take them out."
With that said, she ran inside again, wearing Mu Lingwei's clothes.
Gu Yushi couldn't do anything to her. When he realized it, she had already run away.
Mu Lingwei said: "Panpan has a straightforward personality and is really a cute and innocent little girl. It would be great if everyone could be like her, carefree."
Gu Yushi's eyes were full of embarrassment, "Princess, I'm sorry, Panpan is outspoken and doesn't know how to guard against others."
"Speaking of which, my princess and Panpan are actually distant relatives," she said.
Gu Yushi frowned, even a little nervous.
She added: "My father Mu Minghuai once served as an official in the court. Later, he was dismissed from his official position for unknown reasons. He sent my mother and I to my uncle's house in Linzhou. Later, he married another
I met Gu Yushi’s distant relative Gu Qingying, and Panpan didn’t know that I still had this relationship with her.”
Gu Yushi stared at Mu Lingwei closely and said, "Since the princess knows that she is a distant relative, there is no need to tell Panpan."
He then thought that the Shen family had begun to inquire about Mu Minghuai and had already found him.
Back then, Mu Minghuai became the son-in-law of the Gu family and left the officialdom. Therefore, when the new emperor ascended the throne and announced to the world, Mu Minghuai was naturally released.
Mu Lingwei raised the corners of her lips and said calmly: "This princess has always regarded Panpan as a friend, and she will not worry about anything that worries her."
"Uncle Gu, you should know some inside stories." Mu Lingwei said lightly: "The reason why they killed Zhang Zhenniang was probably because they wanted to take revenge on the Zhang family."
Gu Yushi looked nervous, but pretended to be calm and said: "I really don't know anything."
Mu Lingwei raised her lips and sneered: "Does Gu Yushi really know nothing? Mu Minghuai's identity should soon be found out by the Shen family. Similarly, they will also know that it was Gu Yushi's gang.
