HCB Chapter 152 Evidence in Hand
Chapter 152 Evidence in Hand
Wen Yao stood up and looked at Xiao Xia, waved to her, and whispered in her ear: "Go check if there is a servant with Hesheli Hengruo..." and gave Xiao Xia all the instructions, "Bring that person to my private residence secretly, and send someone to notify me."
"Yes," Xiao Xia immediately turned around and left.
Wen Yao's smile deepened. Hesheli Hengruo handled it very cleanly, but the servant who had already had an affair with the maid arranged by the Eighth Concubine to be with Guo Luoluo was not dealt with cleanly, because Hesheli Hengruo had no idea that the servant had a sister who was separated from her early years, and the person that the sister pretended to be was a manager in a shop owned by the Seventh Concubine Hada Nara's mother.
When Wen Yao entered, the steward had already recognized her. Wen Yao asked first, "Where is the Seventh Lady?"
Soon, he was taken to a private room upstairs, where the wife of Prince Jian, Guaerjia, and the wife of Prince Xian, Lijia, were also present. "Ninth wife?"
"Wenyao?"
"Ninth brother's wife?"
The one called Wen Yao was naturally the outgoing and gossipy Prince Jian's son, Guaerjia. "Wen Yao, you're here too? I heard this is the shop opened by the Ninth and Tenth Princes? I thought these bags were all carried by men, but I didn't expect that we would carry some. Look at this one, it's so pretty, but it's a pity there are only two, and the three of us can't share it. And the one in the Seventh Lady's hand, look at it!"
Li Jiashi, the wife of Prince Xian, and the Seventh Wife had not spoken much yet, because they could not find a chance to interject. Wen Yao patted the wife of Prince Jian on the arm and said, "I'll show you later." She smiled and looked at the other two. "Hello, Princess Xian, and Hello, Seventh Sister-in-law."
"Look at her. With her here, we can't even get a word in," Princess Xianqin Li Jia said with a smile. "But having said that, this is indeed not enough. Fortunately, we came here early, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten either of them."
The Seventh Lady held a dark green peony and covered it as if it were real. It was originally a very vulgar combination, but at this moment it blended together perfectly, as if it was natural. There seemed to be something faintly embroidered on the back, adding a bit of elegance. "Ninth brother's sister, there is only one of these. The three of us are about to fight."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Some bags are the same, but the ones you have are special. For example, the passage on the back of the bag in your hand, Sister Qi, tells a story about an imperial examination. There's only a part of it. There will be other parts of the story later, but not on this bag," Wen Yao said with a smile, "As for where it is, I'm not sure."
The Seventh Lady had already noticed it, "I have to say that you, Ninth Brother, and Tenth Brother are smart. You can come up with this idea. You really have your eyes on our wallets. Tell me, are there other ways?"
"Yes," Wen Yao smiled and glanced at the three people, "You can become premium members by spending money in the store. The products of the corresponding parts of each story will be delivered to you first. If you don't want them, they will be sold out one after another."
"And some parts," Wen Yao pointed at the red backpack in the hands of Princess Jian, "these two are different. The one in your hand is a blessing. There is a pomegranate tree over there. Everyone knows what the meaning is. This one has no follow-up. The other one is a couplet. Maybe there is, maybe not."
Princess Xianqin looked at the backpack in her hand and asked, "Why is it maybe there is and maybe not?"
The Seventh Lady had a guess in her mind, "What the Ninth Sister-in-law meant is that if this bag was bought by the Princess of Xian, then is there another one for the Prince of Xian?"
Princess Xianqin also understood what it meant instantly, and her ears turned red instantly, "This...this is interesting," she did not hesitate, and could not let go of the bag in her hand.
"Sister-in-law Qi guessed right. We need your other half to match them up before we can customize them. This is a women's backpack, and the other is a men's backpack. They are a pair," Wen Yao introduced, and then looked at Princess Guaerjia of the Jian family. "Princess Jian wants more than one, that's impossible. This kind of high-end product is basically one-of-a-kind in our store, but we have many other bags of the same kind."
The three of them took one, the same one they had just held in their hands. When they were presenting the rare and precious bags, Prince Jian's wife was a little reluctant to leave, but Wen Yao promised to invite her more often when she opened a mansion in the future.
Wen Yao got on the Seventh Lady's carriage. After putting away the bag, the Seventh Lady looked at Wen Yao and said, "You look like you have something to do?"
"Something happened, it's about Seventh Sister-in-law's shop..." Wen Yao mentioned the manager, "His wife is the sister of a servant of Hesheli Hengruo. That servant and the maid of Tenth Brother's Princess Guoluo Luo had been in love for a long time, and now they have both died of illness."
Wen Yao emphasized the word "died of illness" and said, "Sister-in-law Qi knows what I mean. I want that sister to testify for me. She should have the evidence I want."
"Ah," the Seventh Lady sighed softly, "Can you guarantee her life? She is innocent too."
"As long as Sister Qi opens her mouth, I will only ask for evidence," Wen Yao promised with a smile, "She should be in my private residence now."
"Then let's go to your private residence. Thank you for showing mercy," Seventh Lady looked at Wen Yao, "How are you going to ask Eighth Brother's wife? You're not planning to go directly, are you?"
"Why can't I just go? Seventh sister-in-law knows my personality. I always say what I mean and I dare to admit it. If I do it, I will bear the consequences myself. If someone wants to plot against me and Jiu Ye, then they must also dare to admit it. I ask myself if I have done anything wrong to Eighth sister-in-law," Wen Yao laughed, "Why can't I just go? I just want Eighth sister-in-law to give me an explanation."
A smile flashed across Seventh Lady's eyes, "It seems that Eighth Brother should regret provoking you two." This is really going to cause chaos in Eighth Brother's house. Hesheli Hengruo should regret provoking Ninth Brother's wife.
The Seventh Concubine took the woman away. Wen Yao took the testimony and a bag of evidence in her hand, and took Cui He, Xiao Xia and Xiao Dong directly to the Eighth Prince's Mansion. Naturally, the one who entertained her was the Eighth Concubine Guo Luoluo.
"I didn't expect to see my ninth brother's wife coming to my house. She's out of the palace today. Why did you think of looking for me?" After sitting down, the Eighth Lady looked at Wen Yao, who had a cold face, and lowered her eyes. "But what happened?"
The Eighth Lady probably guessed in her heart that what she wanted to do before had been known, but she had already stopped it. She did not expect that the Eighth Master would still take action.
"Eighth sister, do you know why I am here? I never beat around the bush. I just want to know if you know who instigated my tenth brother, Princess Guo Luoluo, and her mother Niu Hulu to have someone insert a person into the marriage for my ninth master?" Wen Yao looked at the Eighth Lady and asked directly.
"I know. I am sorry to my ninth brother's wife in this matter." The Eighth Lady could not betray the Eighth Master at this moment. Even if she was angry and aggrieved, she would not embarrass her master at this moment.
