Chapter 99
The moment Yun Ling stood up, the matter of the Sun family could be settled.

She can prove everything by herself, no matter how eloquent Mrs. Sun is, she can't stop Yun Ling's mouth.

Prince Zhongshun, who was sitting above, changed slightly the moment he saw Yun Ling appearing.After Yunling kicked Chunxiang away, she knelt down in front of Prince Zhongshun with an aggrieved expression on her face.

"Father! Daughter... Daughter finally saw you alive!"

Yun Ling's tears fell instantly, but Prince Zhongshun who was sitting on top of him didn't look so good-looking, on the contrary, he seemed rather embarrassed.

Her appearance represented that she was indeed ignorant of people, and it was a fact that she was teased by the concubine around her.

To be honest, Prince Zhongshun didn't attach much importance to Yunling's life and death. He had so many sons, and countless died halfway, but now that Yunling appeared, he couldn't just turn a blind eye.

So Prince Zhongshun comforted Yun Ling in embarrassment, completely ignored the pale Sun family, and directly took Yun Ling away from Yulingwei's territory.

However, Sun and the maid Chunxiang who stayed behind had pale faces. They looked at each other, and they both understood their situation in the future, and they couldn't help but have a bit of bitterness in their expressions.

Mrs. Sun was better. After panicking for a while, she finally remembered that there was still someone behind her, so she barely suppressed her inner panic.As for the maid, Chunxiang, who betrayed her master and was arrested, no matter where she is, there will be no good results.

But after Mrs. Sun calmed down, she didn't expect that the question that should be asked was not finished yet.

"Mr. Sun, this king will give you a chance. If you confess everything at this time, this king can protect you from death."

Mrs. Sun raised her head and looked at the fourth prince standing above her, her eyes flickered slightly, "I don't understand what your highness is talking about... I'm just a woman who doesn't understand anything..."

When she said this, the maid Chunxiang who was kneeling beside her couldn't help but sneered.

Mrs. Sun's face turned red and white, and after a moment of silence, she slowly said, "I don't know what exactly His Highness wants to know?"

"As a woman, you are privately connected with Liu Dequan and his group. Presumably it's not just because of your cousin?"

Rong Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Your natal family is a grandson in Yangzhou, and it's just an unremarkable merchant in the local area. But in recent years, your natal family has become more and more prosperous in the local area, not only in the The local area bought a large piece of fertile land, and even forcibly bought several shops in the surrounding area, not only robbing the other party's facade, but also robbing the other party's secret recipe."

"For example, Kelai Restaurant is an old restaurant that has been passed down for decades in your local area. The store has been passed down from generation to generation, and its craftsmanship has never been passed on to outsiders. But since your grandchildren got up, not only have you taken away the store The facade even forced the other party to hand over the secret recipe, which made the owner of Kelai Restaurant and his family impoverished and lost the foundation of their foothold."

Looking at Mrs. Sun's trembling hands, Rong Yuan continued: "There is also the local magistrate. After marrying your concubine of Mrs. Sun, the magistrate who originally looked down upon the merchant suddenly changed his attitude towards the merchant. The door is wide open. You may tell me why?"

Sun smiled dryly, "This...it must be because the prefect dotes on his concubine..."

"presumptuous!"

Before she could finish speaking, Rong Yuan interrupted her immediately.

"This is in the lobby of Yu Lingwei, and now that you don't have the support of the prince, do you really think you can defy justice and lawlessness?"

At this moment, Mrs. Sun seemed to remember exactly where she was, and cold sweat quickly burst out from behind, gradually covering her whole body.She opened her mouth, and the color of her lips turned a little pale, "I... I really don't know..."

"Oh, you really don't know?"

Rong Yuan sneered, took a large number of files from a table at one side, read them one by one, and threw one in Sun's face after reading one.

"In January of the 19th year of Longzhen, the Sun family in Yangzhou forcibly occupied [-] mu of fertile land in Yangjia Village near Yangzhou. The local people were forced to become tenant farmers of the Sun family."

"In March of the 19th year of Longzhen, the Sun family in Yangzhou bought and sold by force, causing the old man Li's family in Yangzhou to go bankrupt and commit suicide."

"Longzhen in 20 years..."

The case files were like a loud slap, slapping Sun's face fiercely, leaving her speechless, she could only lower her head in silence, bit her lower lip and said nothing .

After reading the dossier, Rong Yuan looked at Mrs. Sun who had been covered by the dossier, and spoke slowly.

"Up to now, do you still think that someone will come to rescue you? This king has wiped out all the people behind you, the Sun family has fallen, Liu Dequan has been arrested, and your cousin is also being hunted down now. If you If you are still stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!"

This sentence was like the last straw that overwhelmed Sun Shi, making her completely powerless to resist.

She collapsed on the ground, sobbing softly.

"Your Highness! Your Excellency! This slave is just an innocent person involved in it! Even if there is a small mistake, the crime is not worthy of death! You want to know everything about the slave, but you can talk endlessly, but please let the slave go, please The slave family has a way out!"

Only then did Rong Yuan's expression soften a little, "If you really know everything without saying anything, this king will protect you from death."

However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped...

Since Mrs. Sun is so courageous that she dared to give and receive in private, and even dared to knock out the concubine daughter of Prince Zhongshun who ran into this incident, then she would really be better off dead than alive.

If she died, it would be over, and as long as she was still alive, it would be a lifetime of shame for Prince Zhongshun and the nineteenth girl who was picked up just now.

The existence of Mrs. Sun will constantly remind them of this matter, and as a witness or even the instigator of this shame, Mrs. Sun's life would definitely be worse than death.

"To answer the question I asked before, why did a magistrate who had no good feelings for merchants change his attitude towards merchants overnight?"

When asked this question, Mrs. Sun hesitated for a moment, and was reprimanded by Rong Yuan before opening his mouth hesitantly.

"My lord... is... because of Xiaoyao San..."

Hearing Sun's answer, Rong Yuan's expression didn't seem to be shocked, he just raised his eyebrows slightly, "How dare you do such things to court officials? Haven't anyone found out yet?"
