On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

Xu Shihuan turned around and was about to leave, but stopped abruptly when he heard these words. She was just about to open her mouth to refute Diao Yingxue's words, but she didn't expect Diao Yingxue to say first:

"You and Wen Yidi got married not only because of the marriage granted by the emperor, but also because of your own willingness. Mr. Xu, I wonder if my guess is correct or not?"

Seeing Xu Shihuan looking at him with inquiring eyes, Diao Yingxue did not panic at all and continued to say slowly:

"Since you don't say anything, it means I guessed it right. If you two don't get married, it would be a good thing if Wen Yidi can be recognized by the eldest princess and be a good match."

"But the problem is, you two are married now. You must have experienced the benefits of a woman marrying a man. At this time, if Wen Yidi becomes the son of the eldest princess, what do you think will happen?"

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Diao Yingxue's face. In just a few words, she expressed Xu Shihuan's hidden concerns:

"The eldest princess has been in pain for more than ten years. Suddenly she found that her son, who had been dead for many years, came back to life. How do you think she will love this child? It is certain that she will be made a county prince."

"At that time, when people talk about you, you will no longer be Mr. Xu, but the princess of the county. No matter how you serve as an official in the court or what your political achievements are, it is better to stay in the government and give birth to a few children as soon as possible."

Seeing Xu Shihuan's face becoming more and more ugly, Diao Yingxue even forgot about the pain in her body and continued to say without mercy:

"What I just said is nothing. In the first few years, Wen Yidi had a good relationship with you, so he would not consider taking concubines. But this person will grow old one day. Ying Yanyan, do you think he will be tempted?"

"So, Mr. Xu might as well make a deal with me. You help me save Wen Yi'an's life, and I'll give you the token that can prove Wen Yidi's identity. It's up to you whether you want him to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, or continue to maintain the status quo. That makes sense."

Xu Shihuan did not speak immediately, but stared at Diao Yingxue's face, seeming to be thinking about what she had just said. After a while, she regained her initial calmness and said in a deep voice:

"Okay, I would like to thank Mrs. Wen for your trust."

After speaking, the two discussed the details of the matter. Mrs. Wen told Xu Shihuan the person she had arranged in advance. After Xu Shihuan rescued Wen Yian, he needed to hand Wen Yian over to this person.

At the same time, that person will also hand over the token proving Wen Yidi's identity to Xu Shihuan. From now on, whether Wen Yidi can be recognized by the royal family depends on Xu Shihuan.

After discussing all this, Xu Shihuan originally wanted to interrogate Mrs. Wen as to how much she knew about the Wen family's rebellion according to Master Xiao's instructions. But before she finished asking, she saw black blood flowing from the corner of Diao Yingxue's mouth.

"Someone is coming!"

Xu Shihuan shouted a few times, and the jailer from the sky prison hurried over. After they came forward to inspect it carefully, they immediately knelt down in front of Xu Shihuan and said in panic:

"Sir, spare your life! This Mrs. Wen has already died from the poison. It was Xiao's negligence and did not realize that this person buried the poison in his teeth. Xiao is willing to be punished."

Xu Shihuan looked at Diao Yingxue's body and couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart. At this time, Mrs. Wen did not forget to risk her own life. She could imagine that it wouldn't be long before word spread in Yong'an City that she had killed her mother-in-law.

"I will report this matter to Mr. Xiao. Now, hurry up and take the people to check all the Wen family members in the prison. Do not commit suicide by taking poison like this again."

After saying that, Xu Shihuan quickly left the prison. She had to report Diao Yingxue's suicide as soon as possible.

"What? Mrs. Wen committed suicide? Did she tell you anything before she died?"

On the way here, Xu Shihuan had already thought of a way to deal with it. Facing Mr. Xiao's inquiry, she said without hesitation:

"She said that she was Wen Yidi's mother after all, and asked me to find a way to rescue the Wen family from the prison. When I didn't agree, she cursed me and said that she wanted the world to know that I forced my mother-in-law to death, right? A filial person.”

After hearing this, Mr. Xiao couldn't help sighing. Prime Minister Xu wrote to him before because he was worried that something would go wrong when Xu Shihuan arrived at the Ministry of Punishment and interrogated the Wen family.

For this reason, Mr. Xiao specially sent someone to interrogate the Wen family before Xu Shihuan, and all the punishments that should be used were used. If Mrs. Wen hadn't repeatedly asked to see Xu Shihuan and the people in the prison had made sufficient preparations in advance, he would never have dared to send Xu Shihuan there.

But despite all his calculations, the Wen family had already made preparations and hid the poison in their teeth.

"That's all, I will send someone to handle this matter. Let's just say that Mrs. Wen still didn't say anything today. The Ministry of Punishments really had no choice, so she was tortured. I didn't expect that Mrs. Wen's body was so weak that she lost her life like this."

Seeing that Mr. Xiao had already thought of a way out for him, Xu Shihuan hurriedly thanked him. Mr. Xiao saw that her face was not good-looking, and he was afraid that if she continued to stay in the Ministry of Justice, others would find out the clues, so he ordered:

"There is nothing else to do today. Master Xu, please go home and rest. Remember not to let outsiders see anything unusual."

This arrangement was exactly what Xu Shihuan wanted. She said no more polite words and turned back to the Prime Minister's Mansion after thanking her.

"Mom! Where is my father and others?"

As soon as he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xu Shihuan directly approached Xu Weimin. Knowing that his father had not returned from the palace, Xu Shihuan could only tell Guan Shanyue about what happened today.

"This Mrs. Wen is also cruel. I'm afraid she has given up on living a long time ago. She only survived today because she entrusted Wen Yian to you. However, she could obviously send someone to beg the eldest princess, so why would she come to beg you? ?”

What Guan Shanyue asked was actually the question in Xu Shihuan's heart. What Diao Yingxue said just now really disturbed Xu Shihuan's heart. Now that she calmed down, she felt that there might be some secret hidden between the Wen family and the eldest princess.

"Mom, I always feel that Mrs. Wen has an inexplicable hatred for the eldest princess. She chose to give the token to me because she thought I would destroy it secretly and prevent Wen Yidi from recognizing her ancestor and returning to the clan."

Guan Shanyue looked confused, obviously not understanding what Xu Shihuan meant.

"Is she crazy? Why don't you want Wen Yidi to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan? One is a businessman, and the other is the eldest princess's only son. Who would choose the former?"

However, Xu Shihuan showed a tangled expression, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze out a few words:

"Mom, do you really think it is a good thing that Wen Yidi is recognized by the eldest princess?"

"If he is made a county king, if the eldest princess asks me to leave the court from now on, let me have children, and marry Wen Yidi some beautiful concubines in a few years, do you think I have the right to say no? "
