Chapter 548: Get to the bottom of it

Before the exile team had gone far, the tablets of Zheng Pulian and her mother were delivered to Ning Hanwang's hands.

It was a small wooden plaque, crudely made, with the names of two people written on it, to make two tablets.

According to the law, those who were convicted and exiled could only have plaques erected but were not allowed to have tombstones or hold funeral ceremonies. Their bodies would be buried on the spot and not sent back to their homeland.

Ning Hanwang took it tremblingly, hugged the tablet, and knelt on the ground crying.

"Mother! Second sister!"

The disaster came suddenly, and Mu Rong was caught off guard. She was trembling with fear and was walking on thin ice.

"Master, please don't misunderstand. My father sent people there to rescue them. Who knew that they..."

"My mother analyzed that they might have offended someone. Please think about who are the suspects, sir."

"It is my duty to avenge them."

Ning Hanwang's faith collapsed, his emotions got out of control, and he pushed her to the ground.

"The situation is set. Mother and my second sister are dead. Why are you still pretending to be so hypocritical? Who are you doing this for?!"

"It was you, the Mu clan, who joined forces with Teng Yuru to launch the Yinshitai Rebellion. He fought for power, and you fought for your family. You are all the same, and you are all my enemies."

"I won't let you go. You will pay the price!"

Mu Rong sat on the ground, feeling flustered and trembling with fear.

"Master, you can see clearly that the Mu clan has nothing to do with Teng Yuru."

Ning Hanwang spoke loudly and the wind was howling.

"How can there be no connection? Imperial Concubine Yi said it herself, how could it be false?"

Mu Rong explained in panic.

"That was Fengzhe's idea. It was a complete accident."

Ning Hanwang scolded madly.

"My son is kind and wise, how could he come up with such a bad idea? Don't shirk your responsibility!"

Mu Rong felt extremely helpless.

"That's what Fengzhe said. If you don't believe me, summon him and ask him about it."

Ning Hanwang was obsessed with hatred and completely forgot about his feelings.

"Okay, I'll summon him right now. If he denies it, I'll kill you!"

Not long after, Ning Fengzhe arrived at Yanxiju.

After hearing his father's question, he changed his expression, was stunned at first, then looked at his mother, and finally answered.

"Reporting to Father, it was my idea."

Seeing this, Mu Rong became extremely anxious.

"Don't look around like a guilty thief. Your father may misunderstand you."

"Fengzhe, this matter is of great importance. Please take it seriously and don't take it lightly, okay?"

Ning Fengzhe showed an attitude of admitting his mistakes.

"Yes."

There was no doubt that his beloved son's behavior was genuine. Ning Han believed it most of the time, so he stopped asking questions and gave orders.

"Ran Ci, tell the butler to check the whereabouts of the eldest master in the past few days."

"Also, take my golden seal and go to the Tongshitai to ask for the records of entering and leaving the palace to see if the eldest son has been to Zhaoyi Palace recently."

Ran Ci responded.

"The slaves obey."

Ning Fengzhe pretended to be anxious and worried, and then spoke.

"Father, I..."

It was obvious at a glance that Ai Zi had understood his mother's hint and wanted to plead for her, but Ning Hanwang immediately interrupted her.

"It's none of your business, retreat."

Ning Fengzhe lowered his eyes, hiding a sense of gloating.

"Yes, kid, please leave."

After the ceremony, Ning Fengzhe retreated respectfully.

After a long time, Ran Ci returned with his orders.

"Reporting to the Lord, the eldest son's whereabouts within ten days have not been seen in Zhaoyi Palace."

Mu Rong was suddenly stunned.

"Impossible, he has been there, and the Imperial Concubine can testify to that."

Ning Han looked at King Kong's angry eyes.

"She is your eldest sister. No matter what the truth is, she will testify for you."

"Only the records of the Bronze Table will not lie."

Mu Rong felt like sitting on pins and needles.

"Man-made records can be modified at will, so how can they not deceive people?"

Ning Hanwang raised his finger and grabbed Mu Rong's collar again, questioning her fiercely.

"What Madam said is absolutely true."

"Then may I ask, who erased the records of Fengzhe's entry and exit of the palace? What was the purpose? Was it to alienate us as a couple?"

"The only person who has a conflict with your affection is Yan'er. How can she, a common girl, reach out to the bronze platform?"

Mu Rong was terrified and sweating profusely.

"me……"

Fearing that the master would die together with her, she quickly thought of an excuse, staggered, and fled.

"That is, Teng Yuru secretly had a grudge against the Mu tribe and deliberately harmed me."

"I'll go confront him and find out the truth."

After running out of Yanxiju, she thought about what she had said and found it to be very reasonable. Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. She should indeed find Lord Teng and get to the bottom of it.

Mu Rong visited the Teng Mansion and met Teng Yuru.

After the ceremony, they took their seats and Mu Rong went straight to the point.

"Why did you launch the Yin Sitai Rebellion and kill my family?"

Teng Yuru looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

"What do you mean, Madam Ning?"

"Princess Qin was unwilling to submit to the law and has committed suicide. I am just an innocent victim."

Mu Rong was unreasonable, pointed out the doubts, and questioned again and again.

The attack was so strong that Teng Yuru could hardly withstand it. He finally waited until his wife finished her busy work and returned home.

Upon hearing that Madam Ning was coming, Wei Chushuang didn't even bother to change her clothes and rushed to the master's residence at lightning speed.

"I wish Madam Ning good health."

Mu Rong gave him a helpless hand.

Wei Chushuang stood up slowly.

"Madam Ning, what can I do for you, Madam?"

Teng Yuru walked away and hid behind his wife.

"Madam, you have arrived at the perfect time."

"Madam Ning keeps pestering me and seducing me!"

The words were absurd, and Mu Rong stood up in shock.

"What did you say?"

Wei Chushuang's eyes changed, and she looked at Mu Rong up and down with a fierce look.

"is it?"

Teng Yuru shrank back and looked pitiful, as if he was being bullied.

"How dare I lie to my beloved lady?"

"Madam, you know that I am a coward and cannot handle this kind of thing. I beg you to help me and solemnly tell Madam Ning that I have no intention of divorcing my wife, taking a concubine, or keeping a mistress. Please let me go."

Mu Rong slammed the table heavily, suddenly furious.

"Teng Yuru, what nonsense are you talking about? When did this lady seduce you?"

Wei Chushuang was proud and unmoved by her aura. She walked forward proudly and pushed Mu Rong into a corner.

"Before the second Miss Mu got married, she had affairs with a bunch of young men from aristocratic families. Excuse me, but you are shameless and you seduce everyone you see. How can you be an exception?"

"Don't you look at yourself now? How young are you? How could my master, who is not even thirty years old, be interested in you? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it was you who took the initiative to seduce him."

Mu Rong bit her lip in shame and anger.

"Wei Chushuang, don't go too far!"

Teng Yuru followed his wife's footsteps and added fuel to the fire in his rebuttal.

"You are going too far."

"I don't know what the lady said just now. She said that she has the ability to give birth to sons and daughters, unlike the lady, who seems to be infertile. She insisted that I divorce my wife and kick you out of the house."

Wei Chushuang was furious and furious because his loyalty was wronged.

"Isn't that reasonable?"

"I have fought on the battlefield for many years, giving up the happiness of having children and devoting myself to public service, first for the people of the world, and second for the Yuesheng Dynasty. I have lofty ambitions, but how can a woman like you say that I am infertile?"

Mu Rong was terrified and tried to explain herself quickly.

"He's talking nonsense. I didn't say anything..."

Before she finished her words, she was slapped with such force and bravery that she fell to the ground.

"what!"
