The Female Cannon Fodder Is Highly Poisonous

Chapter 2359 Dressed as a cousin who was eaten out (21)

Ruan Tang had just had a fever, and his condition had not stabilized completely. He drank the medicine and walked a few steps, then was stuffed into the bed and lay down again.

No one said what happened to Duke Wei's mansion last night, and Ruan Tang didn't ask either.

After taking care of her body honestly for a few days, she was finally no longer so weak and able to get out of bed and go to the yard for activities. Only then did Ruan Yun tell her what had happened.

Wei Guogong got a letter from his family to go back to the mansion. He only heard that the Ruan and Tang brothers were making trouble in the mansion. An ungrateful and ignorant son and daughter.

On the way back to the mansion, I heard a passer-by say that the people from Prince Rui's mansion just came out of the Duke's mansion and seemed to be driving away in a carriage.

Duke Wei immediately felt a sense of crisis.

The rest of the family didn't know the relationship between the Ruan family and Prince Rui's mansion, but he knew how good the relationship between Prince Rui and the princess was with their younger sister and brother-in-law, and how much they liked the daughter Ruan Tang.

Once people from Prince Rui's Mansion intervene, the problem will become serious.

When he entered the door, he was stopped by Prince Rui's personal guards before he even saw the old matriarch and Mrs. Xiao's faces, followed by Prince Rui again.

Song Jinxiu and Song Jinyue's murder of Ruan Tang's life is already very clear. If Wei Guogong disagrees and says like everyone else that there is insufficient evidence to convict him, well, go to court directly.

Although Wei Guogong is useless and incompetent, he also loves face.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not go this way.

What's more, who doesn't know what's going on in Dali Temple? Everyone there was as sharp as a judge. If Song Jinxiu and Song Jinyue were handed over to Dali Temple for trial, not only Ruan Tang's case would be investigated, but other matters of the Duke's Mansion would also be revealed.

Duke Wei quickly apologized to Prince Rui, telling him not to get angry, speak slowly when he has something to say, and never get angry.

Prince Rui asked for all the evidence and bills to be handed over, and then said solemnly: "My idea is why the Duke's government didn't pay back the three million taels of silver owed to the treasury, and pretended that the Duke of Wei didn't want to pay back the debt. It turns out that the mansion is already unable to make ends meet, even the dowry of the niece has been moved!"

The face of Wei Guogong who said this directly turned white and blue and red.

The government of Wei is not the only one who owes money to the state treasury, and everyone refuses to pay it back, so why should he pay it back?

This was a tacit matter, no one mentioned it, even today he was too embarrassed to speak up, so everyone pretended it was nothing, but Prince Rui mentioned it himself, so he couldn't pretend to be confused.

Otherwise, if he refuses to admit it, Prince Rui will turn around and go to the palace to sue, saying that he will renege on the debt and take the money from the treasury as his own, then the emperor will have an excuse to send him off!

Duke Wei was thinking of countermeasures when Prince Rui charged him with another charge.

Isn't using the niece's dowry to occupy the Ruan family's property? If this word spreads out, how can Duke Wei's mansion still have a reputation?

He looked at Prince Rui, who was calmly drinking tea, and the little county king, who was watching the fun with obvious sarcasm, so he could only slap his face swollen and pretend to be fat.

"My lord misunderstood. How can I not pay back the money owed to the treasury? I'm really in a tight spot here. I'll pay it back when things get better!" After speaking, he began to defend himself, "I don't care about Miss Tang. It's all the wife who is doing it, the woman's vision is narrow, if she does something wrong, I will definitely teach her a lesson!"

Prince Rui didn't care about the second half of the sentence, he just said a little excitedly: "Oh? So the Duke of Wei is going to pay back the money? That's just right, the emperor invited me and Seventeen into the palace to have dinner with him. At that time, this king will definitely convey the meaning of Wei Guogong to the emperor, and publicize your loyalty and patriotism!"

Pay back, pay back, pay back!
