She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

Chapter 308 No way to save the day
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuwan could not hold her ground and hurried to the house in the city with Mo Yunzheng.

"What's going on?" She looked at Hua Ying aside, worry rising in her heart.

Hua Ying opened her mouth in panic: "The boy in the courtyard came to report that my mother-in-law accidentally fell into the water."

Mo Yunzheng frowned when he heard this. There was a small pond in the courtyard for his mother-in-law to pass the time by feeding fish and raising lotus flowers in her spare time. But he never thought that something like this would happen.

A group of people were standing outside the door, and the doctor was also jumping up and down inside.

"No, I want to go in and take a look." Ye Xuwan still couldn't stay and wanted to save her mother-in-law's life no matter what.

My mother-in-law worked hard all her life and finally lived a better life, but now something like this happened.

"Miss, the old man is in old age and may not be able to save his life." The doctor tried all possible methods, but no one woke up.

Ye Xuwan's eyes were red, and she held her mother-in-law's hand tightly, praying in her heart that she would get better.

"Mother-in-law, Xu Wan will take care of you in your old age. You will get well soon." She was talking nonstop beside the bed, trying to wake up the person lying on the bed with her voice.

There was a burst of sobbing in the room, and it wasn't until the person on the bed died that she began to cry loudly.

"Miss, my condolences." The doctor took a deep look, with regret in his eyes. The old man's body was still strong, but this disaster was really unwarranted and cost a life in vain.

Mo Yunzheng outside the door was very anxious, and when he heard her crying, his heart felt like a knife was cutting him.

Hua Ying, who was standing next to him, also started crying. It took a lot of effort to find someone who was on the lady's side, but just like that, he was gone.

"Mother-in-law, why are you willing to leave me..." Ye Xuwan choked with sobs. How could she accept that the person who was fine a few days ago was now cold?

He held the old man's hand in front of him with both hands, but the old man seemed to be holding an object in his hand.

She forcefully opened the old man's hand, and a small jade pendant appeared in her palm. The more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

I don't know how long it took, but Ye Xuwan opened the door and walked out, her whole face without a trace of blood.

"Wan'er."

Mo Yunzheng's eyes showed worry, and her appearance made him heartbroken.

"My mother-in-law was killed by someone." Ye Xuwan said decisively, and then showed him the jade pendant in her hand. Here she would always unconditionally trust the man in front of her.

After a while, the secret guard came over with the boy. It was he who asked the secret guard to find the person. The boy was placed here to make the mother-in-law's life more convenient. But now the boy has become the only witness. .

"Who has been here?" Ye Xuwan frowned. Her mother-in-law was not good at water and she would never go swimming by the pond alone. Someone must have brought her there.

Several people were looking for clues by the pond. There was no mess on the grass beside the pond, which showed that the mother-in-law did not slip and fall into the water. This was definitely man-made.

"Miss, I don't know. When I found him, he was already floating on the water." The boy lowered his head, his body was still shaking, and it seemed that he really had no memory of this matter.

Ye Xuwan didn't say anything, and her eyes fell on the young man.

From his clothes, it seems that his family is not rich, but there is a piece of silk around his wrist. He is dressed simply. How could he have money to buy silk? It seems that someone deliberately wants to use money to seal his mouth. .

"Do you know what this is?" She picked up the piece of fabric on his wrist. From this touch, she was sure that only upper-class people could use this item, and people like this boy would definitely not be able to use it. "It's just a piece of fabric. I picked it up somewhere else." Seeing that she didn't continue to ask, the boy relaxed his guard. As long as he bit it to death, the matter had nothing to do with him.

Hua Ying has been serving Ye Xuwan all year round, how could she not know what this fabric is.

"This is something that can only be used at the home of a third-grade official. You said you picked it up from somewhere else. I think it was stolen. Miss, let's report it to the official."

Ye Xuwan looked at Hua Ying with a smile in her eyes. With this wave of assists, it seemed that the young man dared to hide it.

She suppressed the grief in her heart, but she also wanted to thoroughly investigate the cause of her mother-in-law's death. She wanted to make those who had done these bad things pay with their blood.

"Your Highness is here, there is no need to report to the authorities." Ye Xuwan looked at Mo Yunzheng. It would depend on whether he could understand her and cooperate with her.

He immediately took out the badge from his waist. It was inlaid with gold and had special symbols belonging to the East Palace. It was worth a lot at first glance.

The boy looked stunned. Could it be that they were really from the palace?

"Miss, I really picked this up. I didn't steal anything." The boy immediately panicked and kowtowed to several people.

Ye Xuwan raised the corners of her mouth. No matter how arrogant someone is, they are still afraid of going to jail.

"Tell me, who gave you this? Or did someone give you a large sum of money?"

How could an ordinary farmer's family use such good silk and satin.

Only then did the boy realize that he seemed to have been deceived, but he still insisted that he had nothing to do with it.

The secret guard rolled down from the beam, leaned over and whispered into Mo Yunzheng's ear.

"You have an elderly mother at home and your wife has just given birth. If you don't want to go to jail, you'd better tell the truth."

The boy's eyes showed fear when he heard this. How could this person know so much about the affairs of his family? It seems that the power behind him is greater than that person.

"If you don't explain this matter carefully, at least it will be strangled immediately, and at worst, your family will be implicated." He thought carefully about the severity of the disaster that would affect the nine tribes.

Mo Yunzheng's words were not to scare the young man. As the prince, he also had the ability to do this.

"I said it, I said it! Please let my family go!" The boy immediately began to kowtow, he was really frightened.

He said everything and explained everything.

"They are from the Shangshu Mansion. I don't know exactly who they are. I only remember that they were two women, one was a little older. They gave me a lot of money to leave the courtyard. When I came back, I found out People are already floating on the water."

Shangshu Mansion?
Ye Xuwan frowned. How could the other party announce his family status? Could this boy be lying? Is this diverting trouble from the east?
"How do you know they are from Shangshu's mansion?"

The young man lowered his eyes and didn't look up at her. The relationship between this young lady and those mothers-in-law was unusual, which was evident from the fact that she was willing to take the time to prepare such a large house for an elderly person.

"I kept an eye out and followed their carriage all the way there." Naturally, I was so confident after seeing them enter the door of Shangshu Mansion.

Mo Yunzheng stood beside her, carefully took her hand and intertwined his fingers with hers.

"If you had come to report the news as soon as possible, maybe the person would not have died."
