Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

It has to be said that thanks to these people's words, the situation was brought under control a little bit. In the end, these guards realized they could not escape, so they surrendered conditionally - they sent people to negotiate with the people who besieged the palace, saying that they would only be tried for their crimes and asked them to spare their families, and they would lay down their weapons and surrender. Otherwise, they would kill everyone in the palace and burn down the palace. They said that if the palace was to be burned down, it would cost a lot of money to rebuild it, and they saved the court such a large sum of money, and only asked to spare their families.

The people besieging outside also knew that these people were at the end of their rope and that it would be no good to force them into a corner, so they agreed immediately.

Anyway, they have been agreed to and surrendered smoothly. Their families will definitely be targeted in the future. Of course, they will not be dealt with for the palace coup, lest they be accused of going back on their word. However, most of these people have bad hands, and their families can still be dealt with by accusing them of corruption and bribery.

Although the families involved in the palace coup will certainly be liquidated, it is better than committing serious crimes, which may end up with the entire family being executed or even being tortured to death.

Of course, the main reason was that there were too many people involved. It would be impossible to execute all of them with their entire families. At most, the main culprits would be executed with their entire families, and the matter would be over.

The issue of forcing the emperor to abdicate was resolved in this way, and then Prince Anjiang ascended to the throne. All this left Shen Yuanniang completely confused.

She also didn't expect that things would develop like this after she died in her previous life. She thought that the world would definitely belong to Concubine Wang and her son in the future. She never thought that a palace coup would occur and those people would kill Concubine Wang and her son.

Not only were they all killed, people also discovered that Concubine Wang was a monster. She was originally just an ordinary-looking person, but after being possessed by the monster, her appearance changed and she became extremely beautiful. She also looked ageless, which led to the monster seducing the emperor, causing him to kill so many of his sons, depose so many of his sons, and even depose the queen.

——It was only at this moment that Shen Yuanniang realized what was going on like everyone else, thinking that Concubine Wang was a monster. No wonder she never saw anyone in the Wang family looking good. How could Concubine Wang be so beautiful? It turned out that it was because of the monster that changed her appearance.

Now that Concubine Wang has fallen, the Wang family has started to have bad luck - those who have suffered at the hands of Concubine Wang in the past cannot hold Concubine Wang responsible for the misfortune, so naturally they hold the Wang family responsible for the misfortune.

Soon, the Wang family lost their titles and jobs. This was not a revenge by any family, but because Concubine Wang was a monster. The titles and jobs of the Wang family were brought about by the monster who deceived the emperor. Now that the monster has been eliminated, the titles and jobs she brought would naturally be cancelled.

Normally, a concubine's family would gain honors because of her favor, and the honor would not be revoked. After all, how could she disobey the decree of the previous emperor?

However, Concubine Wang was not a normal concubine, and the emperor's edict was not issued normally. It was issued under the control of Concubine Wang, so it obviously did not count. They even felt that if the emperor were alive and without the control of Concubine Wang, he would definitely take back all the glory of the Wang family. No, not only the glory would be taken back, but based on the things that Concubine Wang controlled him to do, and the fact that Concubine Wang did not have a stunning beauty at all, but used magic to create such a stunning beauty to deceive him, the emperor would not forgive the crime of deceiving the emperor alone, and would most likely execute the entire Wang family.

Now the imperial court did not execute the entire Wang family, but only took back the titles and positions granted to the Wang family, and then confiscated the Wang family's property. This was already considered good, after all, at least they did not kill them.

Of course, the main reason was that the Wang family didn't know that Concubine Wang was possessed by a monster, so they were innocent, so the ministers in the court let them go. This was also thanks to the fact that the court was relatively normal, otherwise, if it was abnormal, who would say they were innocent? I'm afraid they would say that Concubine Wang was a monster, and the Wang family was also involved, and they would deal with the monster's family. In that case, the Wang family would not only lose their titles and jobs, but even their lives.

Because their titles and jobs were taken away and their homes were confiscated, the Wang family became poor again like before. They could no longer survive in the capital and had to return to their hometown.

Fortunately, the dowries of the women were not confiscated, so they can still live on the dowries for the time being.

But, it is estimated that they will not be able to rely on them soon, because, over the years, the daughters of wealthy families that they married into the mansion after they became rich, seeing that the Wang family had fallen on hard times, one by one, all ran back to their parents' homes, and asked the Wang family to write a letter of divorce. If they dared not to, they would use their power to force them - now the Wang family is an ordinary family again, and the girls they married in the past few years are all from prominent families. How could an ordinary family dare to offend those dignitaries? Even if they don't want to write a letter of divorce, they can only write it honestly.

There was no way out. After they lost Concubine Wang as their backer, they no longer had the confidence to be so arrogant, and returned to the fear of the lower class people towards the rich and powerful that they had more than ten years ago. They did not dare to refuse the divorce letters and let those women continue to be their wives.

Some of them were actually feeling resentful and wanted to withhold the money. After all, many of these women married into their family because Concubine Wang was favored in the past, and their families got benefits and were promoted to high positions. Now that their families are in decline, they want to leave. Who can feel comfortable about that? If they really want to leave, then they should return the benefits they had gained in the past. If they can't return the official positions, then they can give them money. But it would be too shameless to just leave.

Because they are resentful, these people don't want to write the divorce letter, thinking, "I just don't write it, what can you do to me?"

But those who refused to give the divorce letters had their legs broken immediately by thugs, which scared the others so much that they dared not refuse to give the letters.

Among them, Shen Yuanniang's husband's sister naturally came back as well. Even though she had already given birth to a child in the Wang family, she didn't keep the child and came back directly.

Although Shen Yuanniang's husband's family relied on the Wang family and became a third-rank official, they benefited greatly from following the Wang family. However, now the Wang family has fallen and a witch has appeared in the family with such a bad reputation. Who would be willing to become relatives with them? Of course, they let their daughter come back. Even if she can't marry anyone good again, it is better than staying in the Wang family.

Shen Yuanniang's sister-in-law was also willing to come back. After all, she saw that the Wang family had lost everything and would have to rely on her dowry to make a living in the future. They were even preparing to return to their hometown. How could she be willing to continue to follow them?

In the past, she was already laughed at for marrying an illiterate villager, but because Concubine Wang was favored and her family became prosperous thanks to the Wang family, no one dared to laugh at her in front of her. Now that the Wang family has fallen, those people dared to laugh at her in front of her. How could Shen Yuanniang's sister-in-law accept it? She quickly divorced and even threw away her own child.
