The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 183 I’m beating you

Rong Zhen's gaze swept over the crowd, and he said calmly, "Princess Rong'an is indeed my fiancée. If she really killed an innocent person, I will not tolerate her. However, Miss Yun and her servant were not killed by her!"

You probably don't know that some time ago, Yangzhou was affected by floods. The people were starving, naked, and had no money to see a doctor when they were sick. It was the Princess of Rong'an who took the lead in donating medicinal materials and sent her doctors to provide free medical treatment to the disaster victims. She contributed both manpower and money, but she refused to make a fuss about it.

She is so kind, cares about the people, and works silently for them. How could she be such a wicked person who indiscriminately kills innocent people?
What happened today was a deliberate scheme to frame her.

Please don't fall for the tricks of those behind the scenes and become a weapon to strike down righteous people, chilling their hearts!
Otherwise, when everyone is in trouble, those righteous people who have been disheartened will no longer dare to lend a helping hand, and I believe this is not what anyone wants to see.

As soon as he said this, the surroundings became so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and the voices of doubt disappeared.

No one expected that the County Magistrate of Rong'an would care so much about the people and even help the people of Yangzhou overcome their difficulties.

For a moment, everyone was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

It must be said that Rong Zhen's words completely dispelled the people's doubts and malice towards Yun Wei.

Ordinary people may not understand national affairs; all they ask for is three meals a day and enough to eat.

So when I hear that someone has generously donated money to the disaster-stricken people, I feel grateful and respectful.

"Your Majesty, is everything you've said true?" some of the people, having regained their senses, immediately asked.

Rong Zhen nodded, “It’s absolutely true! The people sent by the Princess of Rong’an to provide free medical services are still helping to treat the people in Yangzhou. If you don’t believe me, you can go and inquire about it.”

Hearing this, the people had no more doubts and dispersed.

“If Princess Rong’an were truly a vicious and wicked person, she would never have extended a helping hand to the people of Yangzhou. She must have been framed.”

"How could someone as kind and compassionate as her kill her own sister?"

"That's right. I heard that when the Yue Kingdom's envoy came recently, she single-handedly dealt a heavy blow to the Yue Kingdom's envoy, winning a good reputation for our Wei Kingdom."

“If she were that bad, the Regent would never have been engaged to her.”

"She's so outstanding, I think someone must be jealous of her and deliberately trying to frame her."

Even after the people had gone far away, their chatter could still be heard.

Rong Zhen pulled on the reins and turned back to the Regent's Palace.

Upon seeing him return, Sang Qing immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Master."

"So, what's the situation? Are those people suspicious? Did you get anything out of them?" Rong Zhen asked.

Sang Qing said, "Your Majesty is wise. Those people are indeed problematic. The reason why the people blocked the entrance to Zhuque Street was because they were instigated. They were initially unwilling to confess, but after being tortured, they obediently confessed."

They said they were paid to do this. This morning, when they woke up, a bag of silver and a note suddenly appeared in their courtyard. The note instructed them to incite the people to say that the Rong'an County Magistrate had killed someone. They were also told to lie in wait outside Zhuque Street and, upon seeing the magistrate's carriage, to incite the people to stop it. In short, they were to make the situation as big as possible.

After listening, Rong Zhen pondered and said, "Yun Wei's carriage had no markings. How did they know she was inside?"

Speaking of this, Sang Qing gritted her teeth and said, "The person behind it went to great lengths. Knowing that the county princess always had A-Zheng drive the carriage whenever she went out, they wrote down A-Zheng's physical characteristics on a piece of paper, which is why those people were able to accurately recognize the county princess's carriage."

Upon hearing this, Rong Zhen instructed, "Take those people to the yamen and let the yamen officials deal with them. Also, have our men stake out crowded places throughout the city and make sure to find all the troublemakers."

Sang Qing's spirits lifted. Yes, if the person behind this wanted to escalate the situation, they must have bribed more than just those people today; they must have arranged for others elsewhere as well.

"This servant will go immediately."

"Also, invite the officials from the Censorate to the residence," Rong Zhen then instructed.

If he guessed correctly, the Censorate was already drafting a memorial to impeach Yun Wei at court tomorrow.

"Yes." Sang Qing immediately accepted the order and left. ...

After leaving Suzaku Street, Yunwei's carriage encountered no further obstacles.

However, when they passed by Qingyi Garden, A-Zheng was shocked and furious to see the terrible scene in front of the garden. He immediately reported to Yunwei in the carriage: "Master, there was a disturbance in front of Qingyi Garden."

Upon hearing this, Yunwei lifted the car window curtain and glanced outside.

Sure enough, the area in front of the Qingyi Garden was in a mess, reeking of a foul stench, and several servants were cleaning it up.

"Does Master wish to go down and investigate?" A-Zheng asked.

"No need, go to the Yun family as soon as possible." Yun Wei suppressed her anger, lowered the curtain, and gave the order.

"Yes."

……

The residence of the Marquis of Pingning.

When Yunwei arrived, Liu Qian, accompanied by the coroner, was already there and waiting outside the mansion gate.

Seeing that Yunwei had finally arrived, they went into the Pingning Marquis's residence together.

At this moment, the Pingning Marquis's residence was quiet, and the servants were all preparing for Yun Yao's funeral.

The servants' expressions were subtle when they saw Yunwei enter.

The second young lady killed the third young lady, how dare she come back?

Yunwei glanced at them, knowing full well that they mistook her for a murderer, but she was too lazy to explain.

A mourning hall had been set up in the main hall, and Yun Yao's body was inside.

When Yunwei led Liu Qian inside, besides Yun Yueshan and Xu Shi, Lou Chaoan and his mother Liu Shi were also there.

Upon seeing her arrive, the expressions of everyone in the hall varied.

Madam Liu sized her up and said coldly, "The county princess has killed someone, how dare you come here?"

"Mother, watch your words!" Lou Chaoan scolded.

Liu looked at her son in surprise.

Her son has always been polite and filial; he has never scolded her.
She said unhappily, "Now everyone in the capital knows that it was Princess Rong'an who killed her own sister and her sister's maid. Two lives, what is there that can't be said? Although Yun Yao has been married into my Lou family for three years and has not had any children, and has made a mistake, she has ended up like this. Aren't you sad? She didn't deserve to die."

On the contrary, it is Princess Rong'an who, despite wearing a gorgeous human skin, has committed heinous acts worse than animals; she truly deserves to die a thousand deaths…

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of a slap interrupted her endless chatter.

She covered her slapped face, looking at Yunwei in disbelief, "You dare hit me?"

"That's exactly the kind of shrew who talks nonsense and spouts rubbish!" Yun Wei lowered her hand and said coldly.

Lou Chaoan stared at her in astonishment, then, realizing what she was doing, he angrily said, "Yunwei, what are you doing? My mother is your elder, how could you..."

"Lou Chaoan!" Yun Wei interrupted him in a deep voice, her words sharp and cutting. "Does your mother, as an elder, act like one? And you, as the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, you must know that there's something fishy about this matter, yet you allow your mother to talk nonsense. Do you deserve the official robes you wear?"
