Mind Reading: The villain wins after hearing the princess's inner voice
Chapter 69: Retribution Comes to Me
Tian Linwen's cousin Yingniang lowered her head shyly, "Aunt, how is cousin Wen? I'll go see him."
Seeing that his niece did not dislike his son because of the rumors.
Instead, she came to visit her son with generous gifts, which shows that her love for her son is very real.
Much better than that Princess Anle who is not worthy of being on the stage.
"Okay, Auntie will take you to see Wen'er right away."
Mrs. Song held her niece's hand with satisfaction and happily went to her son's courtyard.
As soon as she entered the room, Yingniang ignored her daughter's reserve, let go of Song's hand, and ran to Tian Linwen's bed with her skirt in her hand.
She burst into tears before she spoke a word.
"Cousin, are you okay?"
When Tian Linwen saw his cousin from his uncle's family appear in front of his bed, he looked at Song with dissatisfaction.
He has no feelings for his cousin at all, so why does his mother want him to marry her?
"Ying Niang, I'm fine. I'm much better now. It's getting late. You should go home soon!"
Mrs. Song was dissatisfied with her son's performance.
"Wen'er, how did you talk to Yingniang? Apologize to her now."
Yingniang stopped crying, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and shook her head, "Aunt, my cousin is right. It's getting late. I should go back."
I came here to calm my mind.
Before coming here, she had promised her mother that this was the last time she would worry about her cousin. After returning, she would obey her mother's arrangements and find a good family to marry herself.
"Cousin, take good care of your injuries and stay healthy." Ying Niang said this with red eyes, turned around decisively and walked towards the door.
Song noticed that something was wrong with her niece and quickly pulled her back.
"Ying Niang, please don't mind the matter between Brother Wen and Princess Anle. This matter is the result of Anle's deliberate plot against him!"
Mrs. Song misunderstood, thinking that her niece saw her son and remembered what happened between her son and Anle. In fact, she was bothered by it, and because of her son's bad attitude, she became angry.
"You know that in my heart, you are the only one who is my ideal daughter-in-law."
"That damned An Le used dishonorable means to scheme against your cousin.
Afterwards, in order to protect her reputation, she even had the nerve to ask the Queen to summon me to the palace, hoping that your cousin would marry her. After not receiving any news that my family had come to ask for her hand in marriage, she viciously sent someone to assassinate Wen'er."
"Don't worry, with me here, she will never marry into the Tian family. She did such a despicable thing. I believe that she will be struck by lightning and punished for her evil deeds in a short time."
Yingniang was forced to listen to her aunt's words of comfort, and her heart calmed down.
Her friendship for her cousin had already dissipated a lot every time she faced his cold words.
It’s just that the obsession in my heart is not so easy to let go.
Recently, after being enlightened by her mother, she has come to terms with things a little more, so she took this trip as a farewell to her past self.
She broke free from Song's hand and walked to the door.
He just happened to bump into the old woman who had reported the news earlier.
"Madam, something terrible has happened. That incident has broken out, and now everyone in the capital knows about it."
A fat woman hurriedly pushed Yingniang away from her body, ran to Song with an unsteady breath and said anxiously, "I don't know who spread the word that the eldest son is not your biological son, but a child you exchanged with a farmer's family."
After hearing this, Song felt sick all over.
Her face turned pale, and her lips trembled. "How could this happen? I know everything... I know everything..."
When Tian Linwen, who was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book, heard the news, the book in his hand fell to the ground.
He looked at Song, whose eyes were lifeless and whose face was filled with panic, with an incredulous look.
How could this be? How could he not be a descendant of the Tian family? He didn't believe it.
This must be the work of the scheming Princess Anle.
He won't let her go.
Tian Linwen had a ferocious and terrifying expression on his face, which was seen by Ying Niang.
She felt that the handsomeness and elegance that her cousin had shown in the past were all fake, and he was pretending. The him now was the real him.
But why do some people say that my cousin is not my aunt’s biological son?
Yingniang stopped outside the door, she was very curious about what her aunt would say.
Song, who was in anxiety and panic, suddenly became very nervous. She grabbed the fat woman's hand and asked, "Where is the master? Does he know about this?"
"The master has gone to the Dali Temple and has not returned yet. This news has spread throughout the city. Perhaps the master has heard about it."
The fat woman answered uncertainly.
When Tian Linwen saw Song's guilty reaction, he suddenly felt disbelieving.
No, this must not be true.
How could he be a farmer?
Under the blow of this news, he actually fell off the bed.
Suddenly, the room was in chaos.
When Mrs. Song saw her son rolling off the bed, her heart was broken, but she was too timid to know how to face this son whom she had raised for more than ten years.
At this moment, a group of Xiaoyu Guards broke into the mansion.
The housekeeper in the mansion came crawling forward to report to Mrs. Song.
Song had no time to go forward to care for her son. With the help of the fat woman, she hurriedly ran out of her son's yard.
The Xiaoyu Guards who came to the Tian family to search for evidence were divided into two groups according to Xiao Lichen's instructions.
Go straight to the study and search carefully for the entrance to the basement.
Another group of people captured a servant and found Tian Ce's bedroom. They quickly moved the bed away and used tools to chisel open the floor, only to see that it was filled with gold and silver.
When Song arrived holding the fat woman's hand, she was so nervous when she saw what the Xiaoyu guards had found that she could hardly breathe.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Pointing at the pile of gold bars that had been moved out, Xiao Yuwei said sternly, "We, the Xiao Yuwei, have been ordered to investigate a case. Tian Ce, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, embezzled and accepted bribes, causing a large area of land in the south of the Yangtze River to be flooded, and countless people were killed and injured. He allowed his clansmen to oppress the people and harm the innocent. Today, we have come to search the house. All the people in the Tian Mansion must occupy the courtyard."
Xiao Yuwei represents His Majesty. If they have evidence, they can search the house without waiting for His Majesty's order.
Afterwards, all that had to be done was present the evidence before Emperor Jianchang.
After hearing this, Song couldn't bear the blow and fainted in the fat woman's arms.
When Tian Linwen heard the news, he felt terrible.
He knew that his father was secretly working for the Eighth Prince, but he never imagined that his father would play such a big game.
It's over now.
His father went to the Dali Temple today and it will be difficult for him to come out again.
If Dad falls down, will he still be okay?
If he wants to survive, he must see the Eighth Prince as soon as possible.
How did things come to this?
Tian Linwen could barely walk with the help of a servant.
However, they were closely watched by the Xiaoyu Guards who were in charge of guarding them, and were forced to stand in the yard.
Seeing the Tian Mansion being tightly surrounded by Xiao Yuwei, Tian Linwen felt so heavy that he didn't know what to do.
At this moment, he didn't know that it was because he targeted Tao Yuwei time and time again that the Tian family was ransacked and his father was sent to jail.
Ying Niang, who witnessed all this, was deeply moved.
The retribution that my aunt talked about did not come true on others, but eventually came true on me. Isn't this ironic?
Seeing this, she was afraid that if she didn't leave the Tian Mansion, she would not be able to leave.
So, she lifted her skirt and ran towards the gate of the mansion desperately.
When I arrived at the gate of the mansion, I saw several Xiaoyu guards guarding it.
She suppressed the fear in her heart, walked forward and told Xiao Yuwei that she was not from the Tian family.
After repeated confirmation by Xiao Yuwei, she was allowed to leave.
Walking out of the gate of Tian Mansion, Yingniang was grateful for her mother's vision.
Her mother had warned her not to get too close to her uncle's family.
Fortunately, she listened to her mother and did not insist on getting engaged to her cousin.
At this time, Gao Huaizheng's mansion was not peaceful either.
A group of Xiaoyu Guards rushed into his house, pried open the small storeroom, and when they went in, they saw it was filled with bellybands of various colors.
Many of the bellybands even have people’s names embroidered on them.
Now they have the evidence.
The mansion of Minister of Rites Gao was surrounded by Xiaoyu Guards and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Just wait for the commander of Xiaoyuwei to report to His Majesty before making a decision.
When Xiao Yuwei's men arrived at the Dali Temple with evidence, all the onlookers were excited.
There was no more fear in their eyes when they looked at Xiao Yuwei, but more admiration and adoration.
It turns out that all the cases handled by Xiao Yuwei were conducted based on the presence of evidence.
There was no such thing as arbitrarily framing ministers and killing anyone he wanted as rumored.
Those are all exaggerated rumors.
They gathered at the door, cheering, "Fairly and justly redressing the injustice for the people, Xiao Yuwei is worthy of being His Majesty's right-hand man!"
Faced with the evidence, Gao Huaizhen collapsed to the ground with his swollen face, without any excuses.
"Come here, take Gao Huaizhen to the prison for trial."
At Xiao Lichen's order, Gao Huaizhen was dragged away by Xiao Yuwei in front of his colleagues from the Dali Temple.
This made Zhou Qiheng shake his head.
Alas, although his reputation seems to be very famous outside, it is still far inferior to that of the Prince of Yong.
They could take people away right in front of him, and he couldn't stop them.
Forget it, all the evidence was found by others, what else can he do?
Seeing that the matter was over, Tao Yuwei happily walked out of the Dali Temple with two maids and a crow.
Zhou Qiheng looked at her back as she left, thoughtful.
There have been many rumors about Princess Anle recently.
Especially in the past two days, some people said that Princess Anle had fallen in love with Tian Linwen, the son of Minister Tian.
Judging from the way she angrily confronted Minister Tian in the lobby, she didn't seem like someone who was going to marry into the Tian family.
The rumors are not credible. As for the claim that Princess Anle used despicable means to have an affair with Master Tian, that is even more nonsense.
If this were the case, how could Princess Anle allow the Tian family to fall?
Alas, it can be seen that anyone who offends Princess Anle will definitely suffer a miserable end.
Look at the Fourth Prince who had an argument with Princess Anle. He is now being imprisoned in the clan residence and being punished.
Guo Buyan stood at the gate of the yamen in a nonchalant manner, his eyes sometimes looking at Xiao Lichen, sometimes looking at Tao Yuwei who was leaving.
Darling, he seems to have discovered something terrible.
Prince Yong came to the Dali Temple, seemingly specifically to help Princess Anle vent her anger.
Before he came, Princess Anle angrily criticized the two criminal officials from Gaotian, saying that she had witnesses and could convict them.
After the arrival of Prince Yong, the owner of Anle County became much calmer. Prince Yong was able to capture the two criminal officials by himself.
Maybe he was overthinking it.
This incident of watching the excitement also sounded a wake-up call for himself.
From now on, there are two people in this imperial city that he cannot offend.
The first one is Princess Anle, whom she cannot afford to offend, otherwise, she will die a miserable death.
Prince Yong's son Xiao Lichen can definitely be put in second place.
Since childhood, his father has been comparing him with this young genius.
In the past, every time he heard his father despise him for being useless and praise Xiao Lichen for being outstanding in front of him, he would sneer.
Now that he had seen how swift and decisive they were in doing things, he had to admit that he could not compare.
He should just be an idle and dissolute young man.
As for joining in the fun, he decided that if he wanted to see the excitement in the future, he had to follow Princess Anle to enjoy it.
The lively scenes of shrews cursing in the streets that he had seen before were nothing compared to today.
Tao Yuwei doesn't know yet that some people have already treated her as a spectator.
Xiao Lichen also saw Tao Yuwei leaving and his mind changed slightly.
The information she obtained was a thousand times more accurate than what he, the commander of the Xiaoyu Guard, knew.
He was very curious about how she got the private information of these ministers.
Regarding Gao Huaizhen's involvement in framing his grandfather's family, he would take the opportunity to bring him back to the prison for a thorough trial.
He has already started taking action on the Huo family's side.
It won't be long before he can lift the veil on the fact that his grandfather was accused of treason and collaborating with the enemy.
He wanted to see who brutally killed his grandfather's entire family for their own benefit.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lichen reached out and turned the wheelchair, wanting to follow and ask Tao Yuwei for more information about the people involved in the case involving his grandfather.
However, he was blocked by the steward of Prince Yong's Mansion who came rushing over.
"Prince, please go home soon. I'm afraid the princess is in a very bad condition."
The guard Hei Yan standing behind him immediately pushed him and rushed to his own palace with the housekeeper.
Yu Meiyao, the plaintiff and the victim, stared at Tao Yuwei as she left with admiration on her face and was extremely excited.
She tried hard to stand up and moved her legs a little as they were numb from kneeling. After feeling the relief, she thanked Zhou Qiheng and ran out the door.
Tao Yuwei was accompanied by two maids and a coachman behind them. They walked very slowly, strolling as they went.
"I'm so hungry. I'll have lunch outside today."
Tao Yuwei chose a shop on the street and walked in.
She ordered a bowl of chewy spicy beef noodles for herself, while her two maids chose shredded pork noodles.
The driver ordered a large bowl of beef offal soup with pancakes.
Just as she started eating, Yu Meiyao appeared in front of her.
"Would you like some noodles? I'll treat you!"
Tao Yuwei stir-fried the steaming noodles with chopsticks, looked at Yu Meiyao who was in a dishevel and asked.
Yu Meiyao wanted to say no, but after seeing her sincere eyes, her nose felt a little sore and she couldn't utter a word of gratitude.
"Okay!" Finally, all the emotions surging in his heart turned into one word, and he responded happily.
"Waiter, give me another bowl of spicy beef noodles with more soup and beef." Tao Yuwei was in a very happy mood while dining at the moment, and she personally asked people to take orders.
"Okay, I'll be there soon, please wait a moment!"
Tao Yuwei extended her hand and invited Yu Meiyao to sit in front of her, and then she started to eat some noodles.
It was noon and the place was crowded with people. Someone leaked the news, but everyone nearby knew that Princess Anle was having dinner here.
Many people came to eat and watch her.
Some of the brave ones even questioned her, "Princess Anle, I heard that you forcibly took possession of Mr. Tian and even sent someone to stab him. Is this true?"
