Chapter 189 Xie Yun is about to finish
Before Xie Yun could come up with a solution, he heard Tu Yong's disdainful sneer.
Xie Yun looked at Tu Yong displeasedly. He saw that Tu Yong had his arms folded across his chest. Relying on his tall stature, he looked down at him condescendingly. "My dear relative, you'd better calm down. You are a Hanlin scholar after all. Don't make fun of yourself."
Xie Yun's eyes turned cold, and he was about to sneer back when he suddenly heard someone shouting -
"The Minister is back!"
He immediately realized something and turned his head to look over.
The Minister of Justice must have gone to the palace to consult Emperor Taihe. Now that he is back, I believe this farce will be over soon.
Emperor Taihe would not allow the Ministry of Justice to thoroughly investigate Luo Sheng's death in order to save Empress Chen's reputation.
Thinking of this, Xie Yun became proud and waited to see Luo Hongwang get into trouble.
Soon, the Minister of Justice walked in.
Xie Yun looked over expectantly, waiting to see him scold Luo Hongwang with a gloating look on his face.
As expected, the Minister of Justice walked up to Luo Hongwang and asked with a stern face, "Are you seriously going to sue Scholar Xie and his wife for murdering your first wife? And you're also going to hire someone to kill Luo Hongde's family and seize the Luo family's property?"
Luo Hongwang shrank his neck nervously: "No... not bad!"
The Minister of Justice asked again: "Do you have any evidence?"
Luo Hongwang pointed at Xie Xiu and said, "He...he saw it all! It was Chen Fang's wet nurse who killed my niece!"
The Minister of Justice said, "Since that's the case, let's prepare to proceed to court."
Xie Yun's face turned pale with horror: This is not what he thought!
Why is this happening?
Why did Emperor Taihe suddenly change his mind and decide to take action against Chen Fang?
What should he do now?
The Minister of Justice noticed Xie Yun's expression, but did not care. Since His Majesty asked him to conduct a thorough investigation, he naturally could not tolerate it.
He then quickly gave orders to bring all the people involved in the case to the Ministry of Justice for the trial.
Tu Jiaojiao also received the notice and went to the yamen with her family.
Xie Ying was hugged by Liu Zhichun, her eyes sparkling with excitement: [Ahhhhh, I'm actually going to court with Chen Fang! So exciting! I love it! They must be looking so good right now!]
……
Xie Mansion.
Old Madam Xie sighed for a while. Thinking about how the Black Qilin Guards broke into her house yesterday and took away the servants of Du Hengyuan, she gnashed her teeth in hatred.
Because of this, she didn't sleep well last night and had nightmares all night.
I still feel uncomfortable all over.
Xie Xiu, this bastard, simply came back to collect debts!
If she had known that he would cause such trouble, she should not have been soft-hearted and left this disaster behind!
And that little bastard he gave birth to must have been born to jinx her!
The more Madam Xie thought about it, the more resentful she became. Unexpectedly, a maid rushed in with a panicked look on her face: "Madam... Madam, something's wrong..."
Mrs. Xie was so angry that her face darkened. She grabbed the tea bowl beside her and threw it at the maid's face, cursing, "What are you talking about? Who's wrong? I'm fine!"
"what--"
The maid didn't dare to hide and was hit by the tea bowl, screaming in pain.
Fortunately, it was a hot day, and the teacup contained cooled honey, so it wasn't hot. She only felt some pain from the blow to her face, which was also covered in honey.
At this moment, a maid walked in quickly. Seeing her embarrassed appearance, she quickly winked at her and deliberately scolded her, "Can you speak? What are you standing there for? Get out of here!"
The maid gave her a grateful look and immediately retreated.
The old woman walked quickly to Madam Xie and saw that she still had a gloomy face. She said quickly, "Madam, there's an incident outside. The Ministry of Justice has sent someone to come and say they want to hold court. Please come over, Madam."
Old Madam Xie was so frightened that her heart and liver were trembling. She panicked and grabbed the old woman's arm, asking anxiously, "What does the Ministry of Justice's court session have to do with me? Why do you want me to go? I won't go!"
She instinctively didn't want to go over there and wanted to avoid this trouble.
The old woman could only say, "The Luo clan leader has arrived and even beat the drum to report the incident, accusing the master and the old lady of colluding with Madam Chen to kill the Luo family's daughter."
Madam Xie's face turned pale, and she was even more panicked. "He's making a false accusation! When did I ever harm Luo Sheng? It's clearly her own bad luck that she can't even have a child. She insisted on having a midwife perform a cesarean section to retrieve the child. What does this have to do with me?"
The old woman lowered her eyes and continued to advise, "But since the Luo clan leader has filed a complaint, the government must go to court. Old Madam, you didn't do it, so you should go to court and explain yourself clearly. You can't let the Luo clan leader slander you at will."
Mrs. Xie certainly knew this, but she was so nervous that she didn't dare to go.
Seeing that she refused to agree, the old woman had no choice but to say, "The government officials have already arrived and are waiting in the front yard. If you don't go, I'm afraid people will think you are guilty."
Madam Xie immediately became anxious: "Who feels guilty? I... I just don't want to bother with those bastards!"
She grew angrier as she spoke. "Why should the government hold court just because the Luo clan leader filed a complaint? He's just a small merchant, how can he be so arrogant?"
Her son is a Hanlin scholar and will be the prime minister soon. Why doesn't the Ministry of Justice give him any face?
Could it be that someone was trying to sabotage her son's future?
Yes, that's definitely the case!
These people have such bad consciences!
Although she was very reluctant, Mrs. Xie had to come forward and go to the Ministry of Justice.
When she arrived, she was unsurprisingly surrounded by a large crowd of onlookers.
Because the matter involved Xie Yun, a Hanlin scholar, and the daughter of Duke Cheng'en, Empress Chen's half-sister, as soon as the Minister of Justice said that the case would be brought to court, the onlookers who were blocking the gate of the yamen to watch the excitement immediately spread the news, attracting more people who were just looking for fun.
When Mrs. Xie arrived at the yamen in a carriage, the entrance was already surrounded by people.
Only with the help of the yamen runners could she enter.
But after she went in, she found that there were quite a few people inside!
Not only were all the servants from Du Hengyuan brought here by the Black Kirin Guards, but even the eldest princess came!
The eldest princess noticed Madam Xie's gaze, glanced at her lightly, and ignored her.
She actually didn't want to come, but Situ Yuan insisted on coming to watch the fun, so she had no choice but to bring him over.
Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at Lu Xuan who was sitting not far away, and seriously suspected that he was also here to watch the fun!
But I have to say that the Xie family's hustle and bustle is indeed interesting.
Xie Yun's ruthlessness, ingratitude, cruelty to his wife, and abuse of his legitimate son are truly despicable.
A hypocrite like him has been a Hanlin scholar for many years and now he wants to become the prime minister?
What a wishful thinking!
He was promoted to the highest position today, and it was time for him to finish his term as a Hanlin scholar.
