Carnivorous Princess and Herbivore Consort

In the next two days, Wei Muqing and Shen Dongxue found the dumb carpenter who was still working as a carpenter in the village under the pretext of going to the farmers to make game.

The dumb carpenter was married and had a child. After hearing that Shen Dongxue wanted him to go to Beijing to testify, he hesitated in every possible way. Instead, the carpenter's wife stood up and said that he hoped that the carpenter could go to Beijing to seek justice for his younger sister who died young.

Here at the dumb carpenter, the two had an additional harvest.Before the carpenter sister was pushed into the water, she resisted and struggled. By coincidence, she pulled off Mei Ciyao's jade pendant. The jade pendant was specially carved by Mei Haomiao, and the word "Yao" was engraved on it.

The carpenter had never read, was illiterate, and didn't know what the jade pendant could be used for. He only knew that his sister held it tightly in her hand before she died.Later, the officer was reprimanded, and the carpenter was discouraged, so he didn't take out the jade pendant again.It wasn't until the daughter-in-law was married that she found this jade pendant when she was sorting out the valuables at home. After careful consideration, the two found out that it was probably Mei Ciyao's personal belongings, so they kept it away, just waiting for such a day.

Before leaving, Shen Dongxue instructed the carpenter's wife: "During this time, please live your life as usual, don't tell anyone the purpose of our visit, and don't tell anyone that the carpenter brother has entered Beijing."

The carpenter's daughter-in-law is a smart person, she understood what the two of them meant, and said: "The woman understands, and she said to the outside world that my guy has taken a big job and is going to Qizhou to make a lot of money!"

"These silver taels are to make up for my elder brother's inability to work these days. My sister-in-law should take it first. When the money goes to the Mei family, I will ask them to make up for everything they owe!"

"Thank you son-in-law and princess for your great kindness and virtue. There is no way for women to repay you, so I can only set up a longevity tablet to pray for the two of you."

"Sister-in-law has a heart."

After leaving the village, Wei Muqing asked Dai Yan to lead three guards with the dumb carpenter and Lin Dewen to take a small path and went to Beijing to find Wei Mucheng. He and Shen Dongxue took Liu Feng and Yun Ze back to the inn in Songyan Mansion .

Once back and forth, it is already sunset.

"Father, we are back."

When Master Shen saw the two of them coming back, he hurried forward and said anxiously, "You guys are back!"

"Dad, what happened?"

"As soon as you left this morning, someone came to the yamen and took your brother away, saying that he was going to go up for trial today. Your mother and I wanted to go with us, but the guards who came said no. Let your mother and I wait at the inn, but it's been a whole day, but there is no news at all."

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, don't panic, wait for your daughter-in-law to go and have a look." Wei Muqing comforted the elders of the Shen family, and then rushed to the state government office with Shen Dongxue without stopping.

When the yamen servant at the gate saw the person coming, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty has seen the princess."

"Excuse me." Saying that, Wei Muqing was about to go inside.

However, just two steps away, he was stopped by the yamen servant, "Princess, please stay."

"What do you mean?" Wei Muqing was not angry.

The yamen servant immediately lowered his head, but his tone remained firm: "My lord has ordered that during the trial period, no one who is irrelevant is allowed to enter."

Hearing this, Wei Muqing sneered and said, "For Mr. Yu, I am the princess of the Hui Dynasty; for Mr. Yu, I am the younger brother and sister of Shen Qiuyue; In private, the son-in-law is Shen Qiuyue's younger brother, so which one is irrelevant?"

"But my lord has orders..."

"According to my Dahui's regulations, the trial of the case hall should be open; if there are royal family members involved in the case, there must be a member of the royal family to attend."

"Princess's words are wrong." The document walked out of the yamen slowly and saluted, "According to my Dahui's law, if the case involves officials of the fourth rank and above, you can choose to try it behind closed doors; and Mr. Shen At the time of the case, he was not a relative of the emperor, and the latter does not apply. Therefore, the princess is still requested to stay."

Wei Muqing felt annoyed when he saw this temporary clerk—after all, he was the loyal dog of Wei Musui's subordinates for many years, and he never did anything to bully others—snorted coldly and asked: "Master clerk is not taking notes in the hall, why is it?" Did you just run out like this? Could it be that Brother Huang finally got tired after a day of interrogation and decided to close the case?"

"My lord heard the commotion outside, so he asked the subordinate officials to come out and have a look."

"Brother Huang, the trial of this case is really leisurely, and you can still hear the noise outside. If you put all this time into the case, I'm afraid I won't have to make this extra trip."

"Princess was joking. This case has been highlighted by the current Holy Majesty. Your Excellency must handle it with caution."

"Okay, the clerk should go back and record it for the emperor's brother. Don't delay the time because of my palace. By the way, I will tell the emperor's brother that my parents-in-law asked me to go back with my son-in-law and my brother. I will wait here. See It seems that it's time for dinner, the emperor's elder brother can endure hunger, but the elders in the palace's family can't bear it."

"This……"

"Go back quickly, what are you doing here in a daze? Could it be that the clerk has a problem with this palace and the son-in-law, and is planning to waste time?"

"If you don't dare, the next official will leave first."

"Princess, why don't you wait in the carriage first, it will be very cold as soon as the sun sets, and you are wearing simple clothes, so don't catch cold." Shen Dongxue felt that the autumn wind would blow and it would be much cooler.

"No need, just wait and see, my brother will come out in less than two minutes."

Sure enough, after a while, Shen Qiuyue walked out of the yamen.At the same time, there are documents.

"Princess, my lord asked the next official to send you a message. My lord said, 'The case is closed, please rest assured, my royal sister. It just so happened that my father sent me a letter yesterday. The letter said that my mother is very worried, and I hope that my royal sister will return to Beijing as soon as possible'. "

"Okay, tell Brother Huang, he won't bother you anymore." Wei Muqing got into the carriage and waved his hands impatiently.

"Your Majesty will send off the princess and the son-in-law respectfully."

"Brother, how did the imperial envoy make the final sentence?" On the carriage, Shen Dongxue and Wei Muqing sat on the same side, opposite to the still thin Shen Qiuyue.

"Because I was also at fault, and Mei's father and son hadn't killed anyone yet, we only sentenced Mei Haomiao to dismiss from office, and Mei Ciyao was exiled to Jin'an Mansion."

Wei Muqing asked: "That's all? Mei Haomiao's 'removal from office' is followed by 'never be an official'?"

Shen Qiuyue thought about it and said with certainty: "No."

"Then Mei Ciyao was exiled to Jin'an Mansion in Suzhou?"

Shen Qiuyue nodded, "Yes, I heard it's quite barren."

"Heh, Wei Musui's calculations are pretty good, but I won't let him do what he wants."

Shen Dongxue and Shen Qiuyue were confused, but Wei Muqing didn't intend to explain.

"By the way, brother, the princess and I will leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning. If you have free time in the future, remember to come to Beijing to play."

"Are you going back so soon? How long will you stay if you don't go home?"

"I have to go back. There is still a follow-up to deal with the Mei family's father and son." Wei Muqing nodded, "The matter is urgent and there is no room for delay. Dongxue will be in Beijing all year round, and the journey is far away. My parents-in-law will have to count on my elder brother to take care of me."

Shen Qiuyue nodded, "That's natural. I need to trouble the princess to take care of Dongxue."

Wei Muqing turned his face sideways, looked at Shen Dongxue and said with a smile: "Since she is my 'son-in-law', I will naturally take good care of her, right?"

Shen Dongxue smiled shyly at Wei Muqing and nodded.

Shen Qiuyue, who was opposite, watched the interaction between the two, and the strange feeling in his heart appeared again - he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, and finally attributed it to himself not knowing girls.
