After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 248 - 240: Wanting Me to Play the Villain?_3

Lian Rong stepped forward: "Master, returning now won’t do any good, even though General Liang makes sense. Anyway, Xie Zhang’s petition has already been submitted, so it’s no harm waiting for the full review before heading back.

"After all... the Commandery Princess will eventually be coaxed by the master."

Xu Yin turned and entered the room, picked up the black gauze cap on the table: "You think I’m doing this for her? Wrong, I’m doing it for myself!"

After saying this, he put the cap on, his gaze deep: "The matter between Yongping and Consort Yu, the evidence is still in Mrs. Zhang’s hands, right?"

Lian Rong paused.

Xu Yin tidied his robe: "Enter the palace!"

...

The case at the Xu family was already reaching its conclusion.

Since He Qu arrived, the process has been very smooth.

After Xie Zhang left, people from the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice also came, a genuine joint trial of three departments.

The little eunuch brought the emperor’s decree punishing Yongping, Fu Zhen was naturally dissatisfied, the Liu Family and the Zhang Family were also dissatisfied, Mrs. Zhang equally so.

Princess Yongping and Princess Rong had been vexing Mrs. Zhang for many years, grievances had long since accumulated. Although Yongping couldn’t achieve much, her frequent antics were quite irksome.

Now, with things at this point, Mrs. Zhang surely wanted to suppress her thoroughly, was there still any possibility of reconciliation between them?

Downgrading her to a County Lord, what good would that do?

Once the confinement is lifted, she could still stir up trouble.

But this was the emperor’s decree, Mrs. Zhang was helpless. She kept glancing at the box beside her hand, wishing fervently to present it to the emperor immediately!

However, though this could push Yongping to the brink, the Empress would not be pleased to see a niece-in-law kicking someone when they are down. In the end, Yongping would fall, yet she would be remembered negatively by the Empress, truly not worth it.

While weighing it constantly in her mind, someone walked in from outside, lowered their voice and spoke to Prince Rong beside her: "Your Highness, the Assistant Minister has entered the palace!"

Prince Rong looked disgruntled: "What is he doing in the palace?"

"The Assistant Minister went to plead for the Commandery Princess!"

"...Plead?"

Everyone showed surprised expressions.

Fu Zhen was right there.

She thought after Liang Chen went to see Xu Yin, the person with the surname Xu would probably make a mere pretense. Unexpectedly, he directly entered the palace! And even went to plead for Yongping?

Going to plead at this moment...

Truly cunning!

She suddenly looked at Yongping beside her, who bore a complex expression, but soon regained her calm.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Fu Zhen and said: "The General’s wife is good-tempered today, sitting for so long without seeing you rage and drag someone in to beat. Aren’t you worried about Xu Yin pleading in the palace?"

Fu Zhen smiled: "The true person involved is the Princely Heir’s uncle from her maternal family. If none of you are worried, why should I be?"

"Such composure." Mrs. Zhang sneered lightly, "However, aren’t you curious how Yongping managed to instruct Lou Zhao, a dignified Commander of the City’s Armed Forces?"

"What’s the point of curiosity? The Commandery Princess won’t explain to me."

Mrs. Zhang pushed the box in front of her slightly forward: "What if I tell you?"

Fu Zhen glanced at her: "Make yourself clear."

"The General’s wife is smart as ice and snow, how could you not see my meaning?" Mrs. Zhang said firmly, "Doesn’t the General’s wife want to strike your opponent? The lethal weapon is right here, do you want it?"

Fu Zhen stared at her for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Why does the Princely Heir want me to do the dirty work?"

"Such words sound alienating," Mrs. Zhang gazed at Yongping in the distance, and said softly, "As long as we can topple a common enemy, does it matter who plays the villain?

"The General’s wife has been sitting here for most of the day without leaving, at least half the reason is for this box, right?

"Things have reached this stage, no one wants any variance. As long as you deliver this into the palace, Yongping will have no chance to turn over. Don’t you want to uproot it?"

Fu Zhen lowered her eyes to look at the box for a while, then opened the lid and flipped through it before closing it again.

"The Princely Heir wants me to be the villain, but doesn’t provide everything. Do you want the emperor to later inquire, so you can still hold the remaining things to manipulate your in-laws, or wait for me to beg you in the future, then manipulate me?

"This only contains records of Consort Yu giving silver to Yongping, where is the evidence of Yongping actively associating with Consort Yu?"

She sneered: "If you take me for a fool, you found the wrong person!"

With that, she pushed the box back.

Mrs. Zhang took a deep breath, then signaled to her maid out of the Prince Rong couple’s sight.
