Song Qingwan placed the letter on the candle and lit it.

"Haitang, tomorrow ask Xiao Zhongzi to find a few people outside the palace to sue my stepmother."

Haitang didn't understand. Although Ma Wenhui was indeed hateful, she had to have a legitimate reason to sue her for no reason.

"She lends money at a high price that is not in compliance with Daqing law." Song Qingwan said calmly.

After hearing this, Haitang could not help but be shocked. She did not expect that Ma Wenhui would be so bold as to dare to do something that violates the law. At the same time, she did not expect how the empress, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, knew about it.

"This Ma Wenhui is so bold! But Your Majesty, how did you know about this?" Haitang asked with her head tilted.

Song Qingwan smiled. Of course she knew this in her previous life, but saying it this way might scare the little girl.

So he said, "It's been a while since I found it. I discovered it when I returned home from leaving the palace. But at that time, I was still a small nobleman and didn't have that much power. I couldn't even protect myself, let alone touch that woman."

Haitang nodded, "So that's how it is. But the queen is finally different now."

"It's just that those things happened a long time ago. I don't know if Ma Wenhui is still doing those things now, and if we can catch her."

Song Qingwan replied, "She has tasted the sweetness of it, so she is naturally unwilling to give up easily. Moreover, I heard that she secretly bribed many officials in order to pave the way for her precious son. These bribes are all real money."

"How much is the salary of my cheap father in a month? I will not allow her to squander it like this. If she wants money, she must have other sources."

Haitang covered her mouth and smiled after hearing this. "Your Majesty is really smart. I will ask Xiao Zhongzi to do it tomorrow morning."

Song Qingwan said, "Okay."

A few days later, Song Mansion

"Master, Madam, people from the government office are here!" the housekeeper ran in and said.

Song Zhicheng frowned. "People from the government? What are they doing here? We in the Song Mansion have never stolen or robbed anything!"

Ma Wenhui was a little nervous and clenched the corner of her clothes in her hands, but then she thought again, she has been doing this for so many years and has never been exposed, so she shouldn't be exposed today.

What's more, Song Zhicheng is still an official in the court! She is an official's wife after all, and now Song Qingwan is the imperial concubine of the court, how dare they touch her!

Then, another idea came to Ma Wenhui.

"Could it be that Song Qingwan arranged a job for our son in the government? Someone from the government came to pick him up personally!"

Song Zhicheng couldn't think of any other reason.

He calmly analyzed, "That should be the case. Although this government office is hard, it is also a lucrative job. When the high officials in the capital commit crimes, they have to pay a large amount of bribes."

Ma Wenhui said happily after hearing this, "Really, sir? That's great!"

He turned to the butler and ordered, "Quick, quick, open the door and let them in!"

The butler responded, "Yes, ma'am."

As soon as the housekeeper told someone to open the door, people from the yamen rushed in aggressively.

"This, this, this, what are you doing..." The butler was speechless as he looked at the backs of those people moving so decisively.

"Sir Song, I'm sorry! Take her away!" The man said a few simple words to Song Zhicheng and ordered his men to take Ma Wenhui under control.

Song Zhicheng was confused.

"No, what are you going to do! I am a fifth-rank official of the dynasty, and my daughter is the imperial concubine of the dynasty. How dare you take my wife away at will!"

"Let go!"

Ma Wenhui was also frightened and yelled, "Yes, let me go! I am the imperial concubine's biological mother! Otherwise, if the imperial concubine tells the emperor, the emperor will not let you off easily!"

At this moment, she remembered Song Qingwan's kindness.

The leader snorted coldly and said, "Mrs. Song violated the laws of the dynasty and lent money. She should be arrested. The people in our government have always been impartial and selfless. We will not be lenient just because of connections!"

At the command of "Take it away!"

Song Zhicheng looked at Ma Wenhui in disbelief, pointed at her and said, "You woman! You, you, you dare to lend money behind my back!"

The leader said, "Mrs. Song has made a lot of money illegally over the years. Once we interrogate her, we will seize all her wealth!"

Hearing this, Song Zhicheng became even more furious.

"You woman! Where did the money you embezzled go? I haven't seen a single penny!"

Ma Wenhui lowered her head and stammered, "It's all for my son..."

Then, Ma Wenhui was taken away by people from the yamen.

This matter caused a sensation in the capital.

This caused Song Zhicheng to be ridiculed by many of his colleagues.

"Old Song, Old Song, isn't your allowance too little? It has led your wife to use crooked ways to make money!"

"Hahaha, yes, yes, this is punishable by sentence!"

After hearing this, Song Zhicheng's face turned red and dull, and he left in anger.

After returning to the Song Mansion, Song Zhicheng became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. Ma Wenhui had never given him a single cent of her ill-gotten gains, and now that something was wrong, she was being implicated!

Just today during the morning court session, the emperor publicly criticized him for not disciplining him strictly!

There were even some enemies who spread rumors in the court, saying that Ma Wenhui had instructed him to do this! Otherwise, how could a woman dare to do this? She might have taken the blame for someone else!

Song Zhicheng was furious after hearing this, but he was powerless to refute. He himself didn't know when Ma Wenhui had chosen this crooked way.

"No, we can't go on like this!" Song Zhicheng paced around the mansion.

"Ma Wenhui has been interrogating for the past few days. Sooner or later, she will be sentenced. When that happens, the entire Song Mansion will be embarrassed!"

"I have been smart all my life! But it was ruined by a woman like this!"

Song Zhicheng took out a pen and paper and started writing a divorce letter.

Ma Wenhui was a wife, but she lied to her husband! She secretly lent money to people, which was really disrespectful! Divorcing her would not only clear herself, but also the entire Song family.

It was nothing more than abandoning her alone! Moreover, she was the one who broke the law knowingly!

The divorce letter was sent to prison.

When Ma Wenhui heard that there was a letter from her, she was so excited that she thought that Song Zhicheng had found a way to get her out!

She took it happily.

But I found two big words written on the envelope: "Divorce!"

After seeing these two words, she tore the envelope into pieces without even opening it.

"Song Zhicheng, you bastard! How dare you divorce me! If it weren't for me all these years, would you have been able to get to where you are now? How dare you abandon me!"

Ma Wenhui was so angry that she screamed and yelled in the prison.

The words "divorce letter" are so obvious, I'm sure everyone outside knows about it! Since you are heartless, don't blame me for being unrighteous.

"I want to see the emperor! I want to see the emperor! I want to expose the evil deeds of the current official Song Zhicheng!"
