Chapter 885 The incident came to light
Ever since Sheng Minglan was arranged to be Su Ning's personal maid, everyone in the palace has noticed Su Ning's love for this little girl. They always take Sheng Minglan with them wherever they go. Even Zhao Linger, whom Su Ning has always doted on, has become a little jealous of Sheng Minglan.

As for the shitty things that happened in the Sheng family, Su Ning naturally knew everything about it through the intelligence of the Jinyiwei. He would not agree to the little tricks of Lin Qinshuang and Wang Ruofu. It was really that Sheng Molan perfectly inherited Lin Qinshuang's viciousness and was a complete and shameless troublemaker. And the other Sheng Pinlan was also a spoiled stupid child. Su Ning had no interest in teaching the children of Sheng Hong, his cheap father-in-law.

However, Su Ning soon realized the abnormal atmosphere in his harem. After careful consideration, he found that all his women were shrewd people. There was no need to elaborate on the cleverness of the heroine Sheng Minglan. Shen Hezhen was also taught by the old fox Shen and could hide more than ten thoughts in one sentence. Princess Huirou was of noble birth and had been carefully trained by Su Ning for many years. She had become an outstanding female politician. Zhao Linger, who was an assassin, was probably thinking about completing the task all the time. As for Sheng Hualan, she was the daughter of the Sheng family who was trained by Old Lady Sheng herself. Naturally, she was smart, quick-witted, and very tactful in dealing with people. The only one who was still pure in mind was probably Sheng Shulan.

"Minglan, do you think I did something wrong?" Su Ning suddenly looked at Sheng Minglan and said something without any context.

"Ah? Prince, what's wrong with you?" Sheng Minglan looked at the man in front of her with surprise. She always felt that this man was abnormal for a few days every month.

"Nothing! I suddenly realized that I might have done something wrong."

"Your Highness, can I ask you a question?" After a while, Sheng Minglan suddenly looked at Su Ning cautiously and hesitantly and asked.

"You said."

"Your Highness, why did you choose to rebel against the court? What would have happened if you hadn't rebelled?" As expected, Sheng Minglan asked the biggest question in her mind.

"I rebelled against the court mainly to take revenge on the Gu family. If I hadn't rebelled, the property my grandfather left me would have naturally become the private property of the Gu family. At the same time, my stepmother Xiao Qin and my eldest brother Gu Tingyu would not let me have an easy time. They would still find a way to drive me out of the Gu family."

"Ah? Will they really do this?" At this moment, Sheng Minglan couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise, feeling that these people from the Gu family were really incredible.

"Minglan, human nature is the most complex thing. Gu Tingyu, under the instigation of Xiao Qinshi, has determined that my mother, Bai, and I are the culprits in the death of his mother, Da Qinshi. Xiao Qinshi has been planning to wait until Gu Tingyu dies of illness, and then find a way to expel me from the Gu family tree. In this way, his biological son, Gu Tingwei, will naturally become the new Ningyuan Marquis."

"But... Gu Tingwei is now also the young Marquis of Xiangyang?"

"It's completely different! Little Qin will no longer be able to enjoy the glory of her son being a young marquis. Instead, she will consider it a disgrace."

"..."

At this time, Sheng Minglan naturally knew clearly that what Su Ning said was right. You know, there is only a difference between the first time and the countless times of compromise. As long as Su Ning chose to compromise with the Gu family and handed over all the Bai family's property to the Gu family, then Su Ning's life would be completely ruined. Naturally, he would lose all the initiative facing the Gu family, and his future life would be toyed with by the people of the Gu family. Instead, it was the courage to fight back that brought Su Ning a glimmer of hope.

……

Just when the Kang Wang family was ready, but before they could take action, they were caught red-handed by Suning's Jinyiwei. All the criminals were taken to the Jinyiwei prison, and after severe torture, they finally got evidence of everyone's crime.

"Minglan, what do you think about this matter?" Su Ning handed all the files of this matter to Sheng Minglan, ready to hand it over directly to her.

"Your Highness, I want to handle this matter personally." Sheng Minglan was furious at this time and immediately took the initiative to take over the matter.

"Alright! Jinyiwei Commander Su Yihui will obey your orders. All the criminals involved have been arrested and imprisoned. I have also asked the Wang family members in Dali to resign and come to the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division in Bianjing. No matter what you decide to do in the end, I will always support you behind the scenes."

"Minglan thanks you, Your Highness."

In fact, all the details of this matter have been investigated clearly. After all, the entire Sheng family is under the close surveillance of the Jinyiwei. What we need to do now is to see how the three families of Sheng, Wang, and Kang deal with this matter. You must know that this section is the most classic and climax part of the show. It would be too boring if it was really covered up like this.

This time, Suning signaled the Jinyiwei to find all the people in charge of the three families of Sheng, Wang and Kang. Even Kang Luhai, who had been hiding and pretending to be a turtle in the original drama, was dragged out. Soon, all the people from the three families of Sheng, Wang and Kang appeared in the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division. They all looked at all the files of this horrific case at each other, realizing that Wang Ning and the Jinyiwei might have been targeting them for a long time. The Sheng family was undoubtedly the most angry family, while the two families of Wang and Kang had expressions of fear and panic.

At this time, Old Lady Sheng looked at her granddaughter sitting in the main seat, and realized that Prince Ning standing behind her must want to make trouble, so she sat there without saying a word from beginning to end. This made Old Lady Wang feel confused and anxious. After all, the two main people involved in the case were both daughters of their Wang family.

"Mother-in-law, I am an old hag and I am not good at educating my daughters. However, please consider the past relationship between our three families and be magnanimous enough to spare Wang Ruofu and Wang Ruoyu this time." The old lady of the Wang family flattered her face and looked at the old lady Sheng beside her and pleaded. After all, the two people who made mistakes were her biological daughters.

"Logically speaking, this matter is still within the controllable range. I, an old woman, and Wei Xiaoniang were not murdered, but the eldest lady and Aunt Kang were caught red-handed. If you don't show an attitude, you will not be able to deal with it." At this time, Mrs. Sheng had roughly guessed Su Ning's intention, so she shook her head and said perversely.

"Mother-in-law, if this matter gets out, it will have a bad impact on the three families of us, Wang, Sheng, and Kang. You can't let the reputation of Sheng Hong and Chang Bai, father and son, be affected because of this matter, right?" After seeing that she couldn't convince the Sheng family with her feelings, Mrs. Wang cunningly mentioned the official reputation that everyone valued most.

"Grandmother Wang, please rest assured! This is the Jinyiwei Pacification Division under the command of Prince Ning. No news will be spread. Even if the two people in charge are cut into pieces, it will not affect anyone's so-called official reputation." At this time, Sheng Minglan, who was sitting in the main seat, sneered and said, she would not give up until the vicious Prince Kang was dealt with this time.

"Oh? I guess this is the sixth daughter of the Sheng family?" Hearing Sheng Minglan, who was sitting in the main seat, speak, Old Lady Wang knew that the person who was responsible for this matter could no longer sit still.

"The grandmother of the Wang family is my grandson."

"Hmph! I heard some time ago that the Sixth Miss suddenly climbed up the high branch of Prince Ning. I didn't expect that seeing is believing!" At this time, Old Lady Wang immediately took the initiative and put moral restrictions on all of Sheng Minglan's actions.

"Grandmother Wang, there's no need for you to be sarcastic here. This incident did alarm Prince Ning, otherwise Mother and Aunt Kang wouldn't have been caught red-handed so easily."

"Sixth Miss, what is King Ning's opinion on how to deal with this matter?" Then Old Lady Wang asked the key question. After all, this was also a question that everyone present was concerned about.

"Prince Ning is always busy all day long, so he naturally has no time to inquire about such a dirty matter, so he has handed it over to Minglan to take charge."

"Ah? Ming girl, stop talking nonsense and let someone let me go!" At this time, the lady Wang Ruofu on the side immediately looked at Sheng Minglan ecstatically and asked.

"Mother, please face up to your mistakes. We must discuss a solution today." Sheng Minglan decisively rejected Madam Wang Ruofu's request. "What? Sheng Minglan, how dare you punish me? I'm your mother, Madam! This is treasonous!" Seeing Sheng Minglan even thinking of accusing her of a crime, Madam Wang Ruofu immediately felt ashamed and angry.

"Yes! Mother, grandma is your mother-in-law. You actually colluded with Aunt Kang to poison and murder grandma. Is there anyone in the world who would do such a thing?" Sheng Minglan immediately asked Wang Ruofu a question in the same way she had treated him.

"you……"

"Alright! Sixth Miss, stop talking in circles here and tell me what you mean." At this time, Old Lady Wang also realized that her two daughters had no chance of leaving here safely today.

"Grandmother Wang, what I mean is that Madam Wang Ruofu has joined forces with an outsider, Lady Kang, to murder my mother-in-law and members of the Sheng family. This is truly a heinous act that cannot be tolerated by heaven. Therefore, I suggest that father divorce his wife and imprison both of them for twenty years." Sheng Minglan then expressed her opinion, determined to make the two heartless sisters get retribution.

"what?"

"Everyone, I, Kang Luhai, would like to make one thing clear here. Wang Ruoyu has always been vicious, disobedient, unfilial and unkind. I, Kang Luhai, have decided to divorce her immediately." At this time, Kang Luhai also realized that the King Ning behind him was disgusted with him. He did not like Wang Ruoyu very much, so he decided to divorce her immediately.

"Father, you can't treat my mother like this?" At this time, Kang Wangshi and Kang Luhai's son cried out.

"Get out of here! If you say even one more word, I will immediately expel you from the Kang family tree." Kang Luhai pulled back his sleeve that was grabbed by his son with disgust, then looked at his son angrily and warned him.

"Ah? Father..." As expected, Kang Luhai's son, who was howling just now, showed a fearful expression. In this era, losing the protection of the family is like a rootless duckweed.

"Kang Luhai, I married a cowardly man like you in this life. I, Wang Ruoyu, was really blind. Aren't you just afraid of the power of Prince Ning behind that little bitch? How could there be such a despicable person like you in this world?" Seeing that her husband was so eager to distance himself from her, Wang Ruoyu of the Kang family immediately started cursing hysterically.

"Hmph! Wang Ruoyu, how many deaths have you caused in my Kang family, and how many have your relatives helped you conceal? Do you want me to settle the accounts with you one by one?" Kang Luhai looked at the disheveled Kang Wangshi in front of him with disgust and questioned.

"Kang Luhai, you..."

"Enough! Son-in-law of the Kang family, are you really going to divorce my daughter Wang Ruoyu?" The old lady of the Wang family naturally didn't want Kang Luhai to continue talking, otherwise all their families would be ruined together. Then she looked at Kang Luhai with a grim face and questioned him.

"That's right! Such a vicious-hearted woman must not be tolerated." Kang Luhai was no longer afraid of offending the Wang family, because he knew that the Wang family had made enemies with Prince Ning this time.

"Hmph! Son-in-law of the Sheng family, are you going to divorce my second daughter Wang Ruofu too?" Then Old Lady Wang looked at Sheng Hong with a grim face and asked.

"This..." To be honest, Sheng Hong had never thought about divorcing his wife, but what Wang Ruofu did this time was too serious.

"My dear..." Wang Ruofu also noticed Sheng Hong's hesitation at this time, and then looked at Sheng Hong with a resentful face and begged.

"Mother, Ming'er, Madam gave birth to children and raised them in my Sheng family. Even if she has no merits, she has worked hard. Apart from being a little stupid in her dealings with others, it is really difficult for her to do such an unforgivable thing. So I think she must have been bewitched and instigated by Aunt Kang. I hope to give Madam a chance to reform." Then Sheng Hong looked directly at Old Lady Sheng and Sheng Minglan and pleaded.

"Father, are you not going to divorce me?" Sheng Minglan looked at her father and asked.

"..." At this moment, Sheng Hong replaced his answer with silence. He also felt that his daughter was too strong today.

"Father, do you know why the prince hates you so much?" Sheng Minglan looked at her father with a sneer on her face and asked again.

"what?"

"It's this kind of indulgence and lack of bottom line that the prince has long known about our Sheng family's affairs. Initially, in order to indulge that favorite concubine Lin Qinshuang, you almost caused my young wife to die in childbirth. If it weren't for the incident in Yangzhou that happened and arrested everyone in the Sheng family, thus disrupting Lin Qinshuang's vicious plan, my young wife Wei and my brother Changsong would have been murdered by her long ago. Now you are so indulgent and protective of the beast who poisoned and murdered my mother-in-law. You are truly disappointing."

"I...you're talking nonsense!"

"Changbai, you are the head of our family, please speak quickly." Seeing that Sheng Hong was having difficulty suppressing Sheng Minglan, the quick-witted old lady Wang simply looked at the last trump card, Sheng Changbai, and said.

"Grandmother, my mother was indeed bewitched and instigated by Aunt Kang. Previously, Aunt Kang bewitched my mother into lending money at high interest rates, and today she bewitched my mother into poisoning and murdering Grandmother and Wei Xiaoniang. Therefore, my mother cannot escape the blame. She should be punished by going to the Sheng Family Ancestral Hall in Yuyang to worship Buddha and pray for blessings. She must never leave Yuyang and return to Bianjing for the rest of her life."

"what?"

"Changbai, I am your biological mother. How can you treat me so heartlessly?" Upon hearing that her own biological son was so decisive in killing his own relative for the sake of justice, the eldest lady Wang Ruofu was dumbfounded.

"Mother, you have done something so outrageous that this punishment is already considered lenient."

"what……"

Things became much simpler after that. The mastermind, Wang Ruoyu of the Kangwang clan, was sentenced to ten years in prison. The eldest wife, Wang Ruofu, as an accomplice, was sent to her hometown of Youyang to worship Buddha and was not allowed to return to Bianliang for the rest of her life. All the other people involved in the incident were beaten to death, even the old Taoist priest who extracted ginkgo bud juice was not spared.
