The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2096 - 2098: (Revised)

Before Prince Le’s death, this person never supported Baili Yan. He first supported Prince Ning, then the Emperor, and later Prince Le. Naturally, Baili Yan would not tolerate such a person.

As a result, he always had his subordinates gather evidence of the Prime Minister’s crimes. However, the evidence Ye Zi’an previously held was trivial, and at most, it would result in a fine, which clearly wasn’t the outcome Baili Yan wanted.

But today’s matter is different; it’s incredibly unscrupulous. Such a morally bankrupt person definitely cannot continue as an official, and it’s only right to strip him of his title.

At this moment, Yang Chuxia was in his study, trying to see if she could find anything else. Given the Prime Minister’s character, she couldn’t believe he was that clean-handed.

Yet, after searching through various secret cabinets, she still found nothing.

It must be said that this Prime Minister is very cautious.

Unable to find anything, Yang Chuxia decided to stop searching and returned to the small courtyard of that young lady.

On the rooftop, the people below were still making a ruckus. Yang Chuxia smirked; who would have thought that the Prime Minister was such an old rogue, with grandchildren already several years old.

Ye Zi’an over there was quite efficient. Before long, the governor of the Capital Prefecture Governmental Office personally arrived with people.

The commotion naturally startled the masters inside.

The Eldest Young Master of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, a rather handsome young master, came in yawning, bringing people along. "Young Master Shen! I have received a report from Madam Shen, your mother, stating her wish to reopen the case regarding the attempted poisoning of the Marquis Wu’an’s fiancée. She claims to have evidence proving she wasn’t the mastermind, and the evidence is in her residence. I am here to search for evidence and hope for your cooperation, Young Master Shen."

Young Master Shen had just gotten out of bed and wasn’t fully awake. Upon hearing that his mother wanted to overturn the case, he naturally cooperated.

He immediately said, "Please come inside!"

Young Master Shen, however, forgot one thing: even if his mother wanted to reopen the case, evidence wouldn’t be sought in the middle of the night. Moreover, why on earth would the governor of the Capital Prefecture personally come to collect evidence?

Leading the group inside, Young Master Shen kept asking if his mother truly had evidence.

"Young Master Shen, whether there is evidence should be asked of your mother. We are here following her instructions."

Soon, they reached the entrance of the inner courtyard. Young Master Shen suddenly realized that it seemed inappropriate to have so many men entering the inner courtyard at this hour, where the ladies resided.

Just as he was about to say something, his servant suddenly shouted at a statue in the front of the inner courtyard, "Who’s there?"

The servant quickly added, "Young Master, there is someone behind that statue!"

Following the servant’s shout, a shadow emerged from behind the statue.

"Chase, quickly chase them!"

The governor of the Capital Prefecture’s eyes gleamed, and with a wave of his hand to his people, he commanded, "Go and help, see who dares to cause trouble in the Prime Minister’s Mansion!"

"Yes, sir!"

Young Master Shen, feeling grateful, also followed the group to give chase.

The shadow in front, seeing people catching up, kept running, while those behind shouted loudly to catch the thief.

The shouts to catch the thief naturally alarmed the patrolling guards.

As the guards were about to encircle the shadow, another shadow darted out, forcing the guards to split a team to pursue it.

The governor of the Capital Prefecture, having come along, was now confused and unable to tell which one was the suspect. So, he had to divide the bailiffs into two teams to pursue each shadow.
