The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 456 Xiao Yue's Proposal

After the news of Yang Manman spread, some people have taken advantage of it to criticize the selection of female officials. "I asked someone to inquire about it. Now, what people are saying is that the female official thing is not in accordance with the rules. Women should stay in the boudoir. In addition, they think that Yang Manman's identity as a female official will make this matter more discussed and have a worse impact. Some people also say that women should not show their faces in public." Lu Yan frowned. Jiang Suining just thought it was ridiculous, "Aren't there many things that officials in the court fight overtly and covertly, frame each other, and involve human lives?" "Who says it's not? But if it were a man, they would turn a blind eye." Lu Yan sighed, "The only thing to be thankful for is that Yang Manman was not selected together with us through the assessment, but was directly appointed because of her merits of killing relatives for the sake of justice. If this matter is too serious, the emperor and the queen will also lose face, so perhaps these discussions can stop here." "You are too optimistic." A voice sounded. Jiang Suining looked in the direction of the voice, and then she found that Xiao Yue had been standing not far from the gate of the Jiang family mansion. Seeing the other party approaching, Jiang Suining and Lu Yan bowed together, "Meet the Fifth Princess." "Everyone, get up." Xiao Yue said, "This princess sneaked out quietly, don't make a sound." She had been here for a while, but just now she saw Shen Yanxi was there, so she didn't show up, but hid in the dark waiting for the Shen family's carriage to leave. "Princess, are you here today for Yang Manman?" Jiang Suining asked. "Of course." Xiao Yue nodded, "I originally wanted to see you shine in the position of female officials, so that those men can see that women can do well, but I didn't expect that something would happen so soon." Xiao Yue's tone was full of helplessness, mixed with a little disappointment, and Lu Yan couldn't help but frown secretly. This matter was caused by Yang Manman, and it had nothing to do with them. The Fifth Princess said this, as if they were also part of the fault. However, before she and Jiang Suining could speak, Lu Yan said, "But you can rest assured. This princess will not watch the female official's matter fall through. I will protect you." "Does the princess have an idea?" Jiang Suining asked. Xiao Yue nodded, "Now those people just think that Yang Manman's matter has brought a bad influence. You are both female officials. At this time, you should make your attitude clear in time and draw a clear line with Yang Manman." "How do you think you should draw a clear line?" Lu Yan also asked. "It's very simple. You all go to the palace together to ask for an order to punish Yang Manman immediately. It would be best if you can find more crimes and take the opportunity to sue Yang Manman. In short, you should show disgust and hatred, and wish that Yang Manman would be beheaded immediately to show the justice of the law!" Xiao Yue's words made Jiang Suining and Lu Yan frown. Jiang Suining did not speak immediately, but Lu Yan thought for a while and said, "Is that enough?" "Almost. In short, we must distance ourselves from the matter and make our stance clear at this critical juncture. We must not let people think that you female officials cannot distinguish right from wrong. We must let them know that Yang Manman is just a special case. Of course, if you could participate in this matter and convict Yang Manman yourself, that would be great, but you are only responsible for the trivial matters in the harem after all, and I don't think you can get this matter." "This..." "However, this princess will find a way to negotiate with my father to see if I can participate in this case of the Ministry of Justice. If possible, this princess will make a contribution, which will be a face-saving thing for women. Also, after you make your attitude clear, this princess will speak for you in front of my father." Xiao Yue spoke while thinking quickly in her heart. After the selection of female officials, she seemed to have no place to use her talents, and her previous reputation gradually faded. It just so happened that she needed an opportunity, an opportunity to make people pay attention to her again and admire her. If she could use this incident to help the Ministry of Justice investigate cases, it would be a good choice. After all, she has watched so many criminal investigation dramas and suspense films, and she should be able to handle the cases of the Ministry of Justice. Jiang Suining looked at Xiao Yue silently, and clearly saw the expectation and excitement in her eyes. Thinking about the suggestion she had just made, she suddenly asked. "Did you come up with the method that the princess just mentioned?" Xiao Yue looked at Jiang Suining, her lips moved, but she stopped before she spoke, and said. "Of course." Although she had this idea after Xiao Yi reminded her, the idea was hers. "Miss Jiang, what I said just now was not to scare you. Don't think too optimistically. This is just the beginning, and there are already so many unfavorable comments about the female official. The emperor is also very unhappy about this matter. If it is not handled in time, if the emperor is angry, he really cancels the female official, and it will be too late to find a solution at that time." Jiang Suining was silent for a moment and said, "Then Princess, have you ever thought about it? If we really do this, but in the end we find that Yang Manman is not the murderer, what will happen?" Lu Yan was stunned and subconsciously looked at Jiang Suining. Why did Suining ask this? Was it just a casual remark, or did she find something? Xiao Yue was also stunned for a moment, and then frowned, "Isn't this matter obvious? I heard that in the court of the Ministry of Justice, Yang Manman herself has admitted that she beat the person to death." "But the Ministry of Justice has not closed the case yet, and this matter has not yet been finalized." Jiang Suining said calmly. "If the case is really concluded and closed, there will be no room for you to play. Don't worry about the future here, think about unrealistic things, and hurry up to solve the current troubles." Xiao Yue's tone revealed a trace of unhappiness caused by being contradicted. Seeing this, Jiang Suining didn't say anything more and bowed. "Yes, thank you, Fifth Princess, for your advice." Xiao Yue was still thinking about whether she could participate in the trial of the case by the Ministry of Justice. She didn't stay for long and left the Jiang family quickly. After Xiao Yue left, Lu Yan asked, "Suining, did you find anything?" "There is no evidence to prove that Yang Manman is not the murderer, but this matter is indeed a bit strange." Yang Manman has not learned martial arts. In panic, could she really smash He Yuanwei's skull in one go? The maid named Yan'er just happened to hit her head and fainted for so long. Why pile bricks and stones next to a good wall, and then have them removed after He Yuanwei died. And Wang, He Yuanwei had just died, when she was asking for the debt, she said that she and Yang Manman had no relationship, why should she pay for her, instead of angrily saying that Yang Manman killed He Yuanwei, and she dared to come to her house to ask for money... Many small questions emerged, but no matter how many questions there were, they could not come to the conclusion that Yang Manman might not have killed anyone. Hearing Jiang Suining say this, Lu Yan also had doubts in her heart, "Could it be that there is really something else going on?" "There is no way to confirm this for the time being, but what is certain is that if Yang Manman is really not the murderer, if we are eager to execute her, it will only give others a handle." "What you said makes sense, but since the Fifth Princess came here specifically and made a statement, if we don't do what she said, will we offend her?" Lu Yan was worried, thought about it and said again. "And I don't know if it's my illusion, I always feel that the Fifth Princess looks a little different from before, but I can't tell where the difference is." Jiang Suining's eyebrows were slightly depressed, and she also felt it. Moreover, she knew what was different.
