Chapter 392: Pure and Innocent Fang Bailian

Xuanyuan Qi knew what was going on, and the investigation had a direction.

Xuanyuan Yan has been the grandson of the emperor for more than ten years, and there are many young masters who have good friends with him from the imperial family. Fang Qixuan, the young master of the Duke of Zhenguo, is one of the grandson's party.

Xuanyuan Qi and Chu Hongyi are both members of the Queen's Party. If something happens to Chu Hongyi, the Wei Palace will definitely be happy to see it happen, so Hongyi's final reminder is not without reason.

And this Mrs. Xi is thirty-six years old this year. She has an elder and a younger one. Her parents are alive, her children are well-lived, her husband and wife are harmonious, and her virtues of kindness and gentleness are well-known far and wide. When people get married, most people who choose Xi’s mother will choose Mrs. Xi’s kind of family harmony and harmony. As time goes by, the reputation of a woman with a virtuous wife and a filial son has spread, and dignitaries will invite this happy mother to take care of any happy events or opportunities in their houses.

If nothing unexpected happens, Princess Jing will also choose Mrs. Xi to be the bride at Xuanyuan Qi’s wedding ceremony.

This is also the reason why Fang Lanyi chose to start with Mrs. Xi.

Mrs. Xi has nothing for others to manipulate. Although her life is not very rich and luxurious, she is spiritually rich. In addition, she also earns a lot of money as Mrs. Xi. Sometimes the rewards given by the nobles are worth a year's salary of an ordinary family. Income, her husband works as a shopkeeper in a wealthy man's shop, and the couple's income is enough for their son's education and the family's daily expenses.

Therefore, if it was just for money, it was absolutely impossible for Mrs. Xi to agree to such a thing as Fang Lanyi - it was a small matter to destroy one's own brand, but it was a serious crime to murder the heir of a noble man in the palace, and the whole family's lives would be at risk if the matter fell through.

If Mrs. Xi can be Xiniang, she will definitely not be a stupid person without the ability to judge right from wrong. It is impossible to sacrifice the lives of the whole family for a little money.

Therefore, the most likely possibility is coercion.

Xuanyuan Qi sent his secret guards to investigate, and the results reported back were as expected.

It turned out that Mrs. Xi's fifteen-year-old son was brought into Prince Wei's Mansion. He suffered a lot after staying there for just one night. Moreover, the King of Wei said that he wanted to give his son a concubine, and it was Mrs. Xi who was twelve years old that he was interested in. The news was like a thunderbolt from the blue when Mrs. Xi’s family heard the news. The whole family was anxious and didn’t know what to do.

Mrs. Xi is a happy mother, and she knows some gossip better than ordinary people, so she knows the emperor's violent and unpredictable temperament, and she also knows that her daughter is just a commoner. If she really enters the palace of Wei as a concubine, she is afraid that her life will be ruined. In the deep house compound.

Usually, the women who are given as concubines are concubines from the family. They have learned the ability to observe people's words and be low-key since they were young, and know how to protect themselves wisely and some ways of survival.

How can a commoner's daughter ever see the nobles' faces when they turn their backs and become ruthless?

It is easier for the nobles to execute a concubine than to crush an ant to death. Even if she is killed, the family will have no way to appeal.

What's more, the power of the Wei Palace was so great that when she thought of the cruel methods of the former emperor's grandson, Mrs. Xi felt frightened and worried.

Such days lasted for two days. When the whole family was in collapse and despair, someone took the initiative to find her and said that he could help her solve the predicament at hand, but he had to agree to one thing in return.

Mrs. Xi and her husband have had two children in this life. One is trapped in the palace and has not been able to come out, and the other is about to be forced into the palace as a concubine. If anything happens to them, the sky will undoubtedly fall.

So when someone said they could help, it was like rain from heaven. The family was overjoyed and naturally agreed.

So that night, a mysterious woman came to visit Mrs. Xi's house. This person was Fang Lanyi, whose face was covered by a cloak. Because she was veiled and wearing a cloak, Mrs. Xi could not see her face clearly. He didn’t know her true identity, but after hearing what she asked her to do, she turned pale with fright and collapsed on the chair on the spot.

"I only give you two days to think about it." Before leaving, Fang Lanyi said condescendingly, "If you delay for one more day, your son will suffer for one more day. When they get married smoothly, you can only watch. After hearing about your son’s body and the news that your daughter has entered the Wei Palace as a concubine, think about it carefully.”

Mrs. Xi was surrounded by despair and fear, and was unable to react for a long time. She couldn't figure it out. She had never done anything evil in her life. How could such a thing happen to her?

She didn't even have the ability to think.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of getting married to make a bed, planting musk on the noble's bed, and causing the newlywed to have a miscarriage... How big a sin is this, how evil is it?

What's more, that's the child of a noble man.

How dare she, how dare she do such a thing?

But her son and daughter...

Mrs. Xi did not dare to let her parents-in-law know, fearing that the old man would not be able to bear it due to his old age, and she was even more afraid that if this matter spread out and cause disaster, she quietly went to find her sister who worked next to Mrs. Ji's family, and wanted her to inquire about it. Who has a grudge against Prince Jing’s Mansion recently?

My younger sister, Magpie, has been working as a maid for Mrs. Ji's family for many years. She has heard a lot about the quarrels between the women in the wealthy family's house. Seeing that her sister was not in a normal mood, she felt worried in her heart. She couldn't help but ask a few questions. After listening, Naturally, I was very anxious after that. I could hardly believe that they, who were so good, would cause such a disaster.

But no matter how things developed like this, things that should be investigated still had to be investigated. However, when investigating matters in the nobleman's house, they did not dare to blatantly investigate and could only inquire quietly.

After returning to Ji's Mansion, Magpie's unusual reaction caught Ji Wan'er's attention, which naturally triggered a series of inquiries. There were twists and turns in the process and there is not much to say. However, after Ji Wan'er listened to Magpie's words under force, she immediately thought of Fang. Lan Yi did it.

Without any hesitation, she immediately went to Fang Lanyi to ask about this matter.

As for whether the inquiry would expose Xi Que and arouse Fang Lanyi's vigilance, she would not think so much. However, under her questioning, Fang Lanyi admitted it quickly and said this: "I am sincere to Prince Qi, and I only like him. Just because Chu Hongyi is unmarried and pregnant and has done something indecent, should I do nothing and generously fulfill her wish?"

Ji Wan'er was speechless by her question, and subconsciously felt that what she said made sense.

Why can a woman who is unmarried and pregnant and indecent be married into the Prince Jing's mansion in an instant, while Fang Lanyi, a pure and innocent girl who abides by the three obediences and four virtues, has to reluctantly give up?

This is too unfair to her.

Then Fang Lanyi spoke again, her tone sincere and heartfelt: "Wan'er, we are good sisters. As long as I can successfully marry Prince Qi, I will treat you a thousand times better and take care of you as my own sister. Chu Hongyi is not kind to you. If she marries Prince Qi, will she treat you well in the future? Have you forgotten that day in the palace, Prince Qi was violent with you because of Chu Hongyi, and he didn't care about the brother-sister relationship between you? Do you want her to be your cousin-in-law?"
