Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 382 Cao Family
Princess Xianli has always liked to speak in a roundabout way, but today she spoke so directly, which shows that she is really anxious.

She was anxious, but Zhao Wangshu was not. Prince Xianli ignored the people's livelihood in order to seize the throne, and he deserved to be put to death. She wished he would die sooner.

Zhao Wangshu picked up the teacup offered by the maid, blew gently on the tea leaves, took a sip, and then said slowly: "What is the matter, Princess? Forgive my ignorance, I really don't know, please tell me clearly, Princess."

Seeing Zhao Wangshu pretending to be confused, Princess Xianli of the County Prince's eyes flashed with anger, but when she thought of her purpose, she suppressed her anger and said in a slow tone, "Madam Yun, I want to see my county prince."

As she spoke, she took out a purse from her sleeve pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Zhao Wangshu, "Please help me, Madam Yun."

The purse is empty, it is not filled with silver but banknotes.

Zhao Wangshu glanced at the purse on the table, put down the teacup, and under the expectant gaze of Princess Xianli, he picked up the round fan on the table and gently waved it, "Princess, prison is a restricted place. I am just a small woman, how can I let anyone in to visit me casually?"

"It's impossible for others, but Madam Yun can do it." Princess Xianli said firmly.

Yun Hao was in charge of the prison. Zhao Wangshu begged him to allow the Princess of Xianli County to go in and visit Prince Xianli, but on what basis?
"Princess, it's not that I don't want to help you, I just really am powerless. The prince has committed a serious crime. The emperor is furious and has ordered him to be strictly guarded and no one is allowed to visit. I'm just a little woman, how dare I disobey the emperor's will." Zhao Wangshu refused calmly.

Princess Xianli's eyes darkened. She had expected Zhao Wangshu to refuse, but she didn't expect him to refuse so straightforwardly without even looking at her purse, where she had put a silver note with a face value of ten thousand.

A trace of disappointment flashed across the eyes of the Princess of Xianli County, but she refused to give up. She sighed and said slowly, "Madam Yun Shao, I know this is difficult, but I really want to see the prince. We have been married for many years, and now he is in prison. How can I just sit back and do nothing?"

"Princess, I understand your feelings, but this is really beyond my control. You also know that the emperor attaches great importance to people's livelihood, and the prince of the county did not hesitate to rob food and grass in order to murder Prince Bao, causing the people to starve. This act disregarded the lives of the people and was a serious crime. The emperor was furious and ordered severe punishment. How dare I, a little woman, go against this bad luck?"

Zhao Wangshu smiled slightly, "Princess, I am very touched by your deep love for each other, but you can't let me put my master in an unjust position."

"Madam Yun, I know my request may be a bit excessive, but the prince... although he is a bit reckless at times, he is definitely not the kind of person who would ignore the lives of ordinary people for his own personal gain. There must be some misunderstanding this time, and he was wronged!" The Princess of Xianli said solemnly.

Zhao Wangshu was almost amused by her words. As expected, two people can sleep in the same bed and two people cannot be separated. He sneered and said, "If the princess feels that the prince has been wronged, she can go to the palace and appeal to His Majesty. The princess should not have come to me."

Princess Xianli looked at her smile and felt it was dazzling. She gritted her teeth and said, "I want to go to the prison to see the Cao family. Is that okay?"

Zhao Wangshu put his fingers on the purse and pushed it back in front of Princess Xianli. "I think this will allow you to meet the person you want to meet smoothly. You don't need to look for me."

"Mrs. Yun did things without leaving any way out. Have you ever thought about what would happen if you were in trouble one day?" A hint of darkness flashed in the eyes of Princess Xianli.
Listening to her slightly cursed words, Zhao Wangshu said lightly: "I have always done things with a clear conscience. As for the way out, I believe that the justice of heaven and earth will leave a way for me."

Princess Xianli sneered, stood up, picked up the purse on the table, turned around and was about to leave, but stopped at the door, turned around, looked at Zhao Wangshu deeply, and said: "Madam Yun, you are so confident, I hope you don't regret it."

Zhao Wangshu smiled faintly and did not answer.

The evidence is irrefutable, and the Xianli Prince cannot escape. The wife is guilty of the same crime as the husband. Even if the Xianli Prince's wife can save her life, she can only become a commoner. Her threat is only verbal. Even if the Xianli Prince can really turn the tide, Zhao Wangshu is not afraid. Good cannot prevail over evil.

After Princess Xianli left the Yun Mansion, she actually went to the prison to visit her family. However, at this critical moment, no one dared to take her money and let her in, no matter how greedy they were.

"You are such a dog that looks down on others." Princess Xianli cursed angrily.

Although she couldn't go to jail, Princess Xianli was unwilling to just go back to the Prince's Mansion. She finally stuffed some silver into the guards' pockets and was able to get out of the Mansion.

But if she doesn't go back to the Prince's Mansion, where should she go?

Liao Palace!
At this time, the maid beside her said in surprise: "Grandma Cao."

Princess Xianli was stunned, turned her head and saw Yun Wanru. She was puzzled. All the Cao family members were arrested and thrown into jail, so why was Yun Wanru outside?

"Yun family." Princess Xianli caught up with Yun Wanru, "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Yun Wanru asked coldly.

"All members of the Cao family were thrown into jail, why weren't you arrested?" asked Princess Xianli.

Yun Wanru sneered, "Why should I be arrested? The crimes committed by the Cao family have nothing to do with me."

After hearing this, Princess Xianli laughed, "Yun, at this point, why are you still pretending to be confused? The crimes committed by the Cao family have nothing to do with you. Don't forget, you are the daughter-in-law of the Cao family. How can you stay out of the things committed by the Cao family?"

Yun Wanru sneered, "Princess, you are wrong. Although I am the daughter-in-law of the Cao family, I have only been married into the Cao family for a few months. I know nothing about the Cao family. How can I be guilty of the same crime as them? Besides, I have no relationship with the Cao family now."

"How can it be okay, you..." Princess Xianli wanted to say something, but Yun Wanru interrupted her.

"Princess, don't forget that my last name is Yun, I am from the Yun family, and I have already divorced and returned to my clan." Yun Wanru looked at the virtuous Princess of the County with a smile, "It's a pity, Princess, your in-laws and your own family have all been convicted, and no one can protect you."

Princess Xianli's face froze. She naturally heard the sarcasm in Yun Wanru's words, "Yun, don't be too proud. Do you think you can rest easy after returning to the Yun family? Don't forget that you were once a member of the Cao family. Do you think you can completely clear yourself of any connection with the crimes committed by the Cao family?"

"Princess, you are wrong. I have divorced and returned to the Cao family, and I am no longer a member of the Cao family. The crimes committed by the Cao family naturally have nothing to do with me. On the contrary, it is you who should take care of yourself." After Yun Wanru finished speaking, she turned and left.

"Stop right there." Princess Xianli shouted harshly, but Yun Wanru walked further and further away.
