After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Chapter 214 Could it be that she seduced Prince Jing?

"Do you know that you could lose your head if you're not careful? Even if we're going to testify against Prince Ning, it should be us, his parents, who should go!"

Father Jiang's face turned ashen. "Do you know how much risk you're taking?!"

Upon hearing Jiang Yuyue's words, Jiang's mother's legs went weak, and she hurriedly said, "Prince Ning is the emperor's son. If you are not careful, you will be accused of slandering a member of the royal family. If anything happens to you... what will your father and mother do!"

Jiang Huanxi was equally shocked by his sister's boldness, but compared to their parents, he understood his sister's quiet and decisive nature better. He simply sighed and said, "Sister, this matter is of great importance. Even if you want to do it, you should at least tell us so we can help you come up with ideas, right?"

"The more people know, the more worried they will be."

Jiang Yuyue patted her parents' hands and gently comforted them, "Whether you scold me or blame me, everything is settled now. Song Yunming and Xie Yunqi, who bullied our family, have gotten what they deserved. From now on, our family will no longer have to hide and live under an assumed name!"

Hearing this, Mr. Jiang could only shake his head helplessly. Even though he was terrified by his daughter's reckless behavior, at least the outcome was good.

"So be it...so be it..."

Jiang's mother grasped her daughter's hand tightly. "At least our family can live a peaceful life now! In a few days, we'll pack our bags and go back to Jinling. You should also go and bring Mo'er back. We'll go back and find someone to rebuild our house. Although the capital is indeed prosperous, no matter how good it is, it can't compare to our old place!"

When the topic of family reunion came up, Jiang's father also expressed his longing for it, and the family immediately began to discuss their future life in a lively manner, while Jiang Yuyue's expression changed.

Jiang Yuyue had not yet told her family that Xie Jinglan, the former third young master of the Xie family, was actually Prince Jing. Regarding Xie Jinglan's departure, she only said that he had gone to seek refuge with distant relatives in the capital. The three members of the Jiang family were already dissatisfied with the Xie family, so they did not inquire too much about Xie Jinglan's departure.

Jiang Yuyue smiled bitterly to herself. If her family really wanted to live the peaceful life they had before, they would probably have to get past Song Jinglan.

After the court session, Li Dao returned to his residence, and Li Shiying greeted him as soon as he entered the door.

Every day when Li Shiying returned home from court, she would do this, not only to greet her father, but also to hear him recount the actions of Prince Jing in court.

"Prince Jing did something very important in court today."

Li Daocong sighed and took the tea offered by his daughter. "His Highness Prince Jing has exposed many of Prince Ning's crimes. Prince Ning has now been demoted to a commoner, and His Majesty has ordered him to be exiled to Zhuzhou, never to set foot in the capital again."

"As expected of His Highness Prince Jing!"

Li Shiying blushed and praised, "Today's court assembly must be incredibly exciting!"

"That's natural."

Li Daocong continued, "However, besides the crimes of Prince Ning, the woman from Jiangnan that Prince Jing brought also reported on Princess Huajin's husband, Xie Yunqi. Xie Yunqi looks handsome and talented, but he is actually a despicable scoundrel who concealed his family background and tried to curry favor with the princess!"

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh, "Speaking of which, this Jiang family woman is really unfortunate. Her family was harmed by Prince Ning, and her husband abandoned her to climb up to the princess. She is truly pitiful."

A woman from the Jiang family?

Li Shiying's eyelids twitched suddenly, and she immediately thought of the letter she had received yesterday. She hurriedly asked, "What Jiang family woman? What's her name?!"

Seeing his daughter so nervous, Li Daocong was a little puzzled. After thinking for a moment, he still answered her question, "It seems to be... something like Jiang Yuyue."

Jiang Yuyue!?

The name struck Li Shiying like a bolt from the blue. Just yesterday, she was comforting herself, saying that it might be a made-up name, but she never expected that Jiang Yuyue was actually a real person!

And this person even received help from Prince Jing to seek justice for his family. Could it be that they really...

Li Shiying's face was a little pale, but she still forced herself to ask, "Then how did this woman get His Highness Prince Jing's help? Since she is from Jiangnan, why did His Highness bring her to the capital to help her family seek justice?!"

Seeing his daughter's repeated questioning, Li Dao realized that something was wrong with her. Thinking of her feelings for Prince Jing, he quickly comforted her, "Ying'er, why are you so alarmed at the mere mention of a woman's name? This woman was almost murdered by Prince Ning, and she is an important witness who exposed Prince Ning. It is only natural that Your Highness brought her to the capital."

"Moreover, this woman was Xie Yunqi's wife before. How could Your Highness have any other relationship with her? You are probably overthinking it."

Such comfort did not put Li Shiying at ease; the ominous premonition grew stronger. If this woman and Prince Jing were truly innocent, how could the letter from yesterday be explained?

Li Shiying was in a state of confusion, and forced a smile, "I'll go back to my room to rest now."

Seeing his daughter so stubborn, Li Daocong was truly helpless, but with such a major event happening in the court, and with important matters to attend to, he let her be.

On the way back to her room, Li Shiying was tense and more worried. Could it be that the woman had seduced Prince Jing to get the opportunity to identify Prince Ning in front of the emperor?

Upon thinking of this, Li Shiying immediately stopped in her tracks. Her maid, Zhuye, standing beside her, looked worried and quickly asked, "Miss, are you alright?"

Li Shiying pursed her lips, finally making up her mind, and then whispered, "Go find a few trustworthy people and have them help me find out about Jiang Yuyue. I need any information, but it must be done quietly, and don't let the news leak out!"

Zhu Ye nodded immediately and turned around to do as she was told.

Meanwhile, Xie Yunqi, who was in the princess's residence, was anxious. Why hadn't Li Shiying made a move against Song Jinglan yet?

Just as he was wondering if his hints had been too subtle, a group of guards suddenly burst through the door and surrounded him.

Xie Yunqi's heart skipped a beat at the sight of such a scene, but he still forced a straight face and sternly rebuked, "How dare you! You actually dare to trespass into the princess's residence!"

The lead guard sneered, "Even now you still think you're the prince consort? Seize him!"

The person standing behind Xie Yunqi kicked him in the back of the knee, forcing him to kneel down. Then the others immediately stepped forward, subdued him, and took him away.

The servants in the princess's residence were all in a panic upon witnessing this scene, having no idea what had happened.
