It can be said that she deserved it. At her advanced age, she contracted syphilis, and Li was living a life worse than death.
He wanted to hang himself to end it all, but he was also afraid of dying.
The entire Shen family is now in complete chaos.
"The second and third wives were arguing about dividing the family property. Madam Shen disagreed and fell ill from anger, becoming bedridden."
It was torture for both Li and Old Madam Shen.
Yunxiyue felt that these things were neither painful nor interesting, and therefore meaningless.
"Lin Huangjin went to see Lin Bao'er, and this is how he helped her?"
Bei Ye frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Is Miss not satisfied with this result?"
Of course she wasn't satisfied; what she wanted was for the Shen family to be utterly destroyed.
The crime of implicating nine generations of a family is unforgivable.
Only when the charge of treason is confirmed can they be prevented from making a comeback.
Exposing the Shen family's shameful deeds was of no consequence to them. People in the capital are thick-skinned; they care about their reputation, but they love wealth and luxury even more.
Therefore, there is only one way to make it completely impossible for them to stay in the capital.
Lin Huangjin did nothing, and she was a little disappointed.
"Never mind, let's wait a little longer."
Shen Yue was a cautious man. He knew that the emperor was suspicious of him, so he was always on guard. He dared not make Lin Bao'er his official wife since she had not been promoted.
"Nothing needs to be done for now." Yun Xiyue got up and went into the pharmacy, where she had recently begun studying the pill formulas her master had given her.
If she learns all these prescriptions, it will be enough for her to earn a lot of money.
The next day, news came.
Master Qin has been convicted of embezzlement.
He took full responsibility for the crime and protected his trusted subordinates.
His official position was naturally lost; he was punished with thirty strokes of the military rod and sentenced to three years in prison.
Originally, he was to be exiled, but because he held the rank of general and had served on the frontier for many years, exile was no longer appropriate.
"I heard that he was originally to be beheaded, but the Prince of Qin saved the Second Prince's life with his military merits. The Emperor and the Prince of Qin had a dispute."
Yun Xiyue frowned, "This will create a rift between the Emperor and the Prince of Qin."
Could it have been a conspiracy from the very beginning?
"How much military pay did Master Qin embezzle?"
"Two million taels."
Yun Xiyue's eyes widened. "This is no small amount."
Therefore, Murong Yu was enraged and wanted to kill Qin Er.
However, Qin Er and Qin Wang were like brothers. Although they were not half-brothers, Qin Er had grown up with him since childhood and later followed him to the battlefield. The two brothers always looked after each other.
The King of Qin could not bear to watch him die.
“He embezzled two million taels of military pay; beheading him is a lenient punishment,” Murong Yu said angrily.
Qin Mo said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It is my fault for not disciplining my second brother properly. My father passed away early, and my second and third brothers grew up with me. As the eldest brother, I am like a father to them."
“They made a mistake, and I, as their elder brother, failed to discipline them properly. It is all my fault.”
Murong Yu sneered, "You are wrong, you have been too lenient with them! And you are still protecting them now!"
"Your Majesty." At this moment, a young eunuch entered.
"Miss Yun sent over something, saying she hopes the Emperor will personally take a look at it."
Murong Yu's expression was not good. He glared at Qin Mo, took the brocade box, opened it, and found a letter inside.
"Your Majesty, what is written on it?" Qin Mo asked curiously.
"Hmph, see for yourself."
"Yun Xiyue has been really good to you, coming to plead for you at this critical juncture, claiming it's all a conspiracy," Murong Yu sneered.
Qin Mo glanced at it and was truly moved. His wife said that their son wasn't implicated this time because Yun Xiyue had helped them behind the scenes.
Unexpectedly, she wrote a letter pleading for leniency.
"Your Majesty, do you think it's a conspiracy?"
Murong Yu glared at him, "You didn't explain it clearly."
Just don't know.
