Chapter 192 Your Majesty, the Princess Beats the Prince Consort to Death
"That's not necessary," Zhao Erya said sternly, "Your life is precious. In my eyes, it's much more precious than Cai Mingyuan's. There's no need to belittle yourself!"
Hearing this, Liu Yunmei's tears, which had just stopped, began to flow again.
Zhao Erya comforted her: "You should take good care of yourself in the mansion first. When I find out everything, I will give you justice!"
Liu Yunmei nodded and responded while crying: "Thank you, Princess!"
Zhao Erya told Shan Yao to take better care of Liu Yunmei, and then returned to the main courtyard.
She was not afraid that Cai Mingyuan would know that Liu Yunmei was in the princess's mansion, but the attentive Mai Dong had already made arrangements to ensure that everyone who had seen Liu Yunmei today kept their mouths shut.
Although Shan Yao and Mai Dong did not follow Zhao Erya to hear Liu Yunmei's narration, they were able to keenly realize that the matter of the son-in-law was very strange just by looking at Liu Yunmei's appearance.
Therefore, seeing Zhao Erya's calm expression, Bai Zhu and the other two felt a little uneasy and acted more cautiously.
Zhao Erya changed her clothes and asked someone to find Xiao Lezhang, the princess's housekeeper.
Princesses in the Xia Dynasty had a high status. They enjoyed Shiyi, had fiefs, and could recruit soldiers.
Her original identity as the elder sister of the current emperor Zhao Xuan was extremely powerful.
Before the original body got married, Zhao Xuan ordered the construction of the Princess Dongping's Mansion, which was filled with countless exotic flowers and plants, and was truly rich and luxurious.
In addition, Zhao Xuan also helped the original body carefully select officials for the princess's mansion to ensure that each one was loyal and talented.
Among them, the housekeeper who is in charge of handling the daily affairs of the princess's mansion is called Xiao Lezhang, who is a capable person who does things flawlessly.
Zhao Erya looked at the number 83 on Xiao Lezhang's head and nodded.
Yes, it can be used.
Xiao Lezhang bowed: "Greetings, Princess!"
Zhao Erya nodded and gestured for a seat.
"I asked you to investigate Cai Mingyuan before. You have a lot of evidence of his crimes, right?" Zhao Erya took a sip of tea. "Whether it's personal or physical evidence, sort it out and hand it over."
The original body had noticed something strange about Cai Mingyuan before, so he asked Xiao Lezhang to investigate. Therefore, the original body not only knew about the existence of Liu Yunmei, but also had evidence of Cai Mingyuan's murder of his own flesh and blood.
In the original plot, the original body who looked at the face finally chose to keep it secret for Cai Mingyuan and killed Cai Mingyuan's "evidence" Liu Yunmei.
But now, Zhao Erya will naturally not let the scumbag have an easy time.
In order to justify killing the scumbag, she must have solid evidence to stop the ministers in the court.
I can't let my dear brother be embarrassed again.
Xiao Lezhang was stunned when he heard this, but when he came to his senses, he immediately stood up and replied, "Yes, I'll do it right away!"
On the other side, Cai Mingyuan, who learned that Liu Yunmei had escaped, hurried to the outer house. Looking at the blood-stained mattress, Cai Mingyuan was furious: "Waste! All of you are a bunch of waste!"
The servants knelt on the ground, silent as a mouse.
They really didn't expect that a woman who had just had a miscarriage could run so fast that they couldn't catch up with her!
Cai Mingyuan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He was afraid that Liu Yunmei would be discovered by Zhao Erya. With Zhao Erya's temper, he would definitely be in trouble.
But now Liu Yunmei had already run away, and he had no choice but to ask people to continue searching for Liu Yunmei's whereabouts while he returned to the princess's mansion.
However, Cai Mingyuan didn't know that as soon as he left, his outer residence was surrounded by Xiao Lezhang and his men.
Xiao Lezhang stood in the yard, looking at the servants with their hands and feet bound, and ordered expressionlessly: "Take them all back and interrogate them thoroughly!"
Cai Mingyuan came to the main courtyard and happened to see Maidong coming out with a plate.
He hurriedly walked over with a smile and spoke affectionately: "Good Maidong, why are you doing such rough work? Let me do it!" As he said that, he wanted to take the plate from Maidong's hand.
Mai Dong turned her body to the side, avoiding the hand extended by Cai Mingyuan, and smiled politely: "How dare I trouble you, my Lord, I will do it for you."
Cai Mingyuan withdrew his hand in disappointment, secretly cursing Mai Dong for being ungrateful.
He was not interested in flirting with Maidong anymore, so he turned around and wanted to walk into the main courtyard, but was stopped by Maidong.
Mai Dong said with a smile: "My Lord, the princess said that she doesn't want to see you for the time being."
Cai Mingyuan was stunned, feeling uneasy. He asked tentatively, "What's wrong with the princess? Did I do something to make her angry?"
Maidong lowered his head: "I don't know."
Cai Mingyuan said kindly: "Sister Maidong, please tell me what's wrong so that I can apologize to the princess!"
Maidong said the same thing: "I don't know."
Cai Mingyuan was so angry at Maidong who refused to listen to anything that came his way, but he couldn't force his way in. In the end, he could only leave, looking back every few steps.
After thinking about it, he turned to the backyard and planned to look for Fuling.
After being married for many years, even the strongest feelings will fade with time. What's more, Cai Mingyuan is a hypocritical man who appears to be righteous. On the surface, he still loves and cares for his wife, a princess, but he has ulterior motives in private.
Not only did he look for women outside, he also seduced his wife's personal maid.
Atractylodes, Chinese yam and Ophiopogon japonicus are loyal to their master and will naturally not be tempted.
However, Fuling had her own little thoughts. When her original body was not around, she reluctantly gave in to Cai Mingyuan.
Fuling is the daughter of the original body's wet nurse. After the wet nurse died, she came to serve the original body.
Because of this relationship, the original body has always trusted Fuling and made Fuling the head of the four maids around the original body.
As for Baizhu, since he came in halfway, although he was valued by the original body because of his outstanding ability and decent behavior, he was still one level lower than Poria cocos, Chinese yam and Ophiopogon japonicus who had always been by the original body's side.
However, it was Fuling, who was deeply trusted by the original body, who betrayed the original body, while Baizhu was the most loyal.
Fuling had been locked up by Zhao Erya, and Cai Mingyuan returned empty-handed.
Cai Mingyuan returned to his yard in a daze, and for a long time he couldn't figure out how he had offended Zhao Erya.
After tossing and turning all night, Cai Mingyuan finally felt sleepy at dawn. Before he had slept for long, the door of his room was suddenly slammed open.
Cai Mingyuan was frightened and sat on the bed looking at the ferocious palace soldiers, with an ominous premonition in his heart.
Xiao Lezhang is very efficient. Things that were assigned the day before can be completed the next day.
Zhao Erya didn't like to drag things out, so after getting the evidence, she had Cai Mingyuan dragged out early in the morning.
Cai Mingyuan knelt in the yard in a single layer of clothing. He looked at Xiao Lezhang, who was standing beside him with a calm demeanor, and his heart was beating fast: "Master Xiao, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Lezhang raised his eyelids and glanced at him, but ignored him.
Cai Mingyuan tried to stand up, but was forced to his knees by the palace guards. He was furious: "How dare you! I'm going to tell the princess and have you all killed!"
"Who are you going to kill?"
A lazy female voice came, Cai Mingyuan was delighted and looked up quickly: "Princess, you are finally..." here.
He looked at the woman next to Zhao Erya and his expression changed drastically.
