Chapter 146: Planting a seed
Chen Yuntang glanced at Princess Shaoyang.
What she said was true. The maids and maids who served her were indeed mediocre in appearance. The female officials standing behind her were even unable to find them in the crowd. However, this cannot be considered as an explanation for not knowing how to use women's beauty.
"Princess, don't you think your explanation is too far-fetched?" Chen Yuntang said sharply.
Princess Shaoyang smiled bitterly, "I know that this explanation of this palace cannot convince the marquis and generals. But it is indeed not done by me, so how can I make me admit it? This is not fair to me! Marquis, do you think so?"
Chen Yuntang's lips tightly pursed, and after a moment, she said, "How can the princess prove that you didn't do that?"
Princess Shaoyang sighed, "I cannot prove it, but isn't the marquis not having any evidence?"
Chen Yuntang:...
This time she was really questioned by Princess Shaoyang.
Yes, she really has no evidence. Whether it is the two beautiful women who suddenly appeared in the hot spring or the butler in gray clothes, they are all dead, so how can the dead speak?
"There is a man in gray who hangs himself, who is the housekeeper of Liujing Bieyuan. What is the explanation for this princess?"
"The entire Liujing Bianyuan is very big. When the prince consort handed over Liujing Bianyuan to my palace, I counted that there were thirty-four courtyards in Liujing Bianyuan alone. Each courtyard would specially arrange for housekeepers to manage. Among Liujing Bianyuan, there were seventy or eighty housekeepers of all sizes. How could this palace manage it? Now only the housekeeper is the confidant of my palace, and I don't know much about the rest of the people."
Princess Shaoyang is talking about the facts. Chen Yuntang had sent someone to inquire about these data before.
Seeing Chen Yuntang frowning and silent, she continued, "If the Marquis doesn't mind, can you tell me what happened when the housekeeper hanged himself? If the Marquis minds, then forget it."
Jiang Zhenchuan sat aside and didn't say anything. It was all about Chen Yuntang. He didn't interrupt and asked her to make her own decision.
Chen Yuntang thought about it for a while and felt that it would be okay to talk about the scene at that time.
What happened at that time is not a secret.
Soon, Chen Yuntang roughly talked about the situation at that time.
Princess Shaoyang's face suddenly sank. She sat upright and said seriously: "His Royal Highness the Regent was there at that time?"
Chen Yuntang didn't expect that Princess Shaoyang would ask the King of Hell. Chen Yuntang nodded, "The gray-clothed butler was captured by the Regent's subordinates."
"Can the Marquis tell me about your experience?" Princess Shaoyang frowned tightly.
There was suspicion deep in Chen Yuntang's eyes, was it because Princess Shaoyang had a good acting skills or was it really nothing to do with this matter?
This incident involves Shen Yuntang's secret. She did not explain in detail this time, but only explained that when she was taking a hot spring bath, a woman suddenly broke into the hot spring pool where she was trying to sacrifice herself, and was then killed.
"When the woman broke into my hot spring pool, she said, "They are your people." After Chen Yuntang said that, her eyes stared at the expression of Princess Shaoyang.
The face of the Shaoyang princess's face did not change at all. She calmly said: "Listen to the Marquis's statement, I think this woman's self-reported home is strange. What I can confirm is that this woman is definitely not from my own door. How dare I ask who was killed by that woman?"
From the beginning of coming to find Princess Shaoyang to question the crime, from the conversation, Chen Yuntang has actually begun to slowly shake, and even Jiang Zhenchuan has begun to imagine other possibilities.
"Atang, I didn't kill the person that day. I just came to pick up the blood-stained sword, which made you misunderstand." Jiang Zhenchuan said.
Jiang Zhenchuan would not lie in front of her. It seems that he really didn't kill anyone, and the remaining people on that day were the Regent and his men.
Chen Yuntang did not tell who was killed, but Princess Shaoyang had already guessed the truth, "So that, was the woman who broke into the Marquis' hot spring pool that day killed by His Royal Highness the Regent?"
After Princess Shaoyang finished speaking, the hall suddenly became quiet.
Jiang Zhenchuan's brows frowned even more, and Chen Yuntang's face was not very good-looking either.
Princess Shaoyang pulled the corner of her mouth and laughed sarcastically, "This is how my emperor brother is. He plays with power and controls people's hearts. He will use all his ways to get whatever he wants. He was like this when he was a child. His nature has not changed until now, but it has been better covered."
Although Princess Shaoyang did not specifically refer to what happened in Mingju, her comments on the Regent were imprinted in Chen Yuntang's mind, and her words kept echoing in Shen Yuntang's mind.
Princess Shaoyang stopped after saying these few words. She was also secretly observing Chen Yuntang's expression.
Seeing that she had touched so much, Chen Yuntang didn't say anything. No matter how patient she was, she was a little anxious.
She planned to add another fire, "Mr. Marquis, I admit to coveting your glass jewelry, but no matter how coveted it, I will not use such despicable means. If one cannot do it well and offends the Marquis, then my expectations of the palace will be disappointed? My palace has a noble status, but there is no power. Just as the Marquis said when he first came, if the Marquis really uses the relationship between the Marquis' Mansion, I will not get anything good. This Liujing Villa was given to me by the Prince Consort's family. In addition to Wolong Villa and Chengde Huangzhuang, the entire Yanjing City is only a large hot spring village, which is not a royal family, and there is no limit. What a good business of making money. This is not only able to enjoy it by myself, but also make a lot of profit every year. If such a good hot spring village is called to the Marquis here and make a reputation smell, what are the benefits for me? Is my brain watering up?"
If Chen Yuntang had been sure that Princess Shaoyang was the person behind the scenes before, she would start to shake after temptation. Now that she had heard Princess Shaoyang's words, although she did not want to admit it, she was already convinced by Princess Shaoyang.
If Princess Shaoyang really did this, it would be harmful to Princess Shaoyang without any benefit.
If this hot spring farm belonged to her, she would have never done anything unnecessary, which would have caused the reputation of the hot spring farm to lose such a great way to make money.
"Thank you for explaining that human nature is always complicated. Everything is proved by evidence. Since you and I do not have sufficient evidence now, no matter what the princess says, it will not convince me. I will not easily regard this matter as the princess did. However, if one day I find conclusive evidence, I will still find the princess here. I have disturbed the princess today, so I will say goodbye first."
Chen Yuntang looked at Jiang Zhenchuan, and both of them stood up and saluted Princess Shaoyang and turned around and left without hesitation.
Princess Shaoyang laughed out loud when she could not see the shadows of Chen Yuntang and Jiang Zhenchuan on the distance.
The female official Yan was still expressionless, and she asked stereotypedly: "Princess, you did not convince Yongxing Hou to believe that the person was not arranged by you, why are you so happy now?"
