Chapter 523 The one who killed Liao Youhe's mother was you
Shen Guannian had no choice but to suppress his anger and reluctantly gave Shen Wantang a little bit of a good look: "Tang'er, your mother is right. The most important thing right now is to rescue your sister from prison. That kind of place is not for human beings to stay in. You should think of a solution quickly!"
Shen Wantang finally raised his eyes: "Father's words are very strange, what can I do? Does father want me to break out of prison?"
Shen Guannian's fake good face suddenly broke, and he said sternly: "Don't put on airs in front of me here. You are the Crown Prince's Consort of the Ning Palace. You have power and status. Once you open your mouth, how can the government not give you face! Your sister is innocent, she didn't kill anyone, and it is only right for the government to release her!"
"Father, you really think highly of me. I am just a widow. My parents-in-law are still in a coma. I am helpless. How can I have any power? Since my sister is innocent, father will go to the government to appeal. Once the real culprit is caught, my sister will be released naturally."
"You!! You actually wanted to watch your own sister die without saving her?!"
"Father used the wrong word, and there was nothing I could do."
Shen Wantang looked unmoved, and Shen Guannian was getting angry, but there was nothing he could do about her.
His face was gloomy for a long time. Just as he was about to bring out the moral principles and ethics to suppress Shen Wantang's arrogance, Qi beside him knelt down with a thud.
Shen Guannian was startled, and asked in shock and anger: "What are you doing?! She is a junior, why are you kneeling down to her? Get up quickly!"
Qi knelt down and refused to get up. She cried and said, "Tang'er, please help your sister. Over the years, I, as your stepmother, have never treated you unfairly, and I have never asked you for anything. Today is the first time I ask you. For the sake of our mother-daughter relationship, please ask the government to release your sister!"
Shen Wantang's tone was slightly cold: "Oh, you are really thick-skinned. You have the nerve to say that you have never treated me unfairly."
Qi said hurriedly, "I know I haven't treated you well enough, but there are so many children in my family, how can I take care of them all? I feed you well, dress you well, and raise you to be a beautiful girl, isn't that enough? The grace of raising you is greater than heaven, Tang'er, don't you really have any gratitude at all?"
Shen Wantang laughed sarcastically: "If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have almost forgotten that I didn't even have a piece of clothing that fit me before. Either the sleeves were too short or the waist was too narrow. You dressed up your sister beautifully and took her out to visit guests, but I was shabby and my clothes were all patched up. I couldn't even go out."
Qi's body stiffened slightly. "No way, Tang'er, you must have remembered it wrongly. I treat you and your sister equally. You have everything your sister has. How can you be so dirty? You have more clothes than your sister!"
Shen Wantang looked at her coldly: "I think if Madam wants to save her daughter, the first thing she should do is not to kneel down and force me, but to change her lying habit first."
Qi cried, "I didn't lie. God, earth, you and I know how well I treated you. Are you slandering me now because you don't want to help save your sister?"
Shen Wantang suddenly laughed, but her smile was cold and without any warmth: "When I say lying, I'm not just referring to this. I mean, the person who killed Liao Youhe's mother was you, wasn't it?"
Qi's expression suddenly changed: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Why don't you confess to the authorities that you killed the person? Wouldn't that save Shen Mingxuan?"
"What nonsense! When did I kill that old hag? What am I confessing?!"
"If you like lying, then go ahead. It has nothing to do with me. I'm not the one in jail anyway. I just feel sorry for my sister. She took such a big blame. She was arrested as a murderer. I'm afraid she must have suffered a lot in jail, right?"
Qi stood up from the ground with a stern face. Her voice was gloomy and cold: "Your evil and dark thoughts are exactly the same as your damn aunt! In order to shirk the responsibility of saving people, you even started to make up stories to accuse me! If you don't want to save your sister, then forget it, but why do you have to frame me? You are an ungrateful wolf who doesn't help others in danger!"
Shen Wantang's face darkened. "You'd better speak with more respect. You can't scold my aunt! She's a dead ghost, and who are you? If you scold her again, I will kill Shen Mingxuan right now and make her a dead ghost too! Saving her is impossible, but killing her is easy!"
Qi didn't expect Shen Wantang to even dare to scold her. She was so angry that her hands were shaking: "You!! You are rebelling, you are rebelling! Master, look at your good daughter. Now she doesn't even respect her stepmother and is cursing at her directly!"
Shen Guannian was also very angry, but could he beat Shen Wantang or scold her? There were so many people here, could he beat them all? Scold? She could scold ten people at once, who could scold her?
Shen Guannian walked away angrily: "Let's go home. We don't need her help anymore! I don't believe that I, Shen Guannian, can't save my own daughter!"
Qi glared at Shen Wantang fiercely, then followed Shen Guannian.
Shen Wantang looked at their backs, her heart was cold: "Du Juan."
"Elder Concubine."
"Ask someone to take care of it. I'm going to the prison tomorrow to visit Shen Mingxuan!"
"Yes."
Shen Wantang gently stroked the Vajra Bodhi on his wrist, with murderous intent rising in his heart.
Originally, she didn't plan to interfere in Shen Mingxuan's affairs. Whether Shen Mingxuan went to jail or Qi went to jail, it would be the same, neither of them would have an easy time.
But things naturally became different when Qi scolded her biological mother.
Day two.
Shen Wantang changed into inconspicuous clothes and went to the prison with her maid.
Because she had made arrangements in advance, she had a smooth journey.
The dark cell exuded a rotten and foul smell, coupled with the prisoners' painful wails, shrill screams, and low sobs, making Shen Wantang feel for a moment as if he had returned to his previous life.
She once interrogated countless prisoners in prison in order to solve cases.
Once, she walked through one cell after another, entered the death row specially for serious criminals, fed Gu Qianhan poison, and helped him to be freed.
She was very familiar with this kind of place, and she even felt like a fish in water here.
The jailer led the way respectfully and brought her to the cell where Shen Mingxuan was, then he tactfully retreated.
"Shen Mingxuan."
Shen Wantang's indifferent voice echoed in the dim cell, like the god of death, but also like a savior: "I'm here to save you."
