The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!

The Wei Family has been aware of the Fourteenth Prince’s fondness for Sheng Xueyi. The Eldest Princess, being the Fourteenth Prince’s direct aunt, has also tried to advise him. However, the Fourteenth Prince seems entranced, seeing only Sheng Xueyi in his eyes.

You may be completely correct, but if the person you are speaking to refuses to listen, it’s all in vain.

That’s how the Fourteenth Prince is now.

Now, even if Imperial Concubine Yi were to speak ill of Sheng Xueyi, the Fourteenth Prince wouldn’t heed it.

"Sir, it’s confirmed!"

That night, when the Wei Family’s entourage arrived at the Wei Family’s summer estate on West Ridge Mountain, and everyone was resting, someone entered Wei Wushang’s room.

The visitor was a loyal retainer of the Wei Family, following Wei Wushang’s orders to investigate the cause of Sheng Xueyi’s mother’s death.

Everyone believed Sheng Xueyi’s mother died of illness, but Wei Wushang had questioned Sheng Xueyi’s mother’s attending physician, who replied that she merely caught a cold, which wouldn’t lead to death.

As a result, Wei Wushang arranged for his family’s loyal retainer to infiltrate the Sheng Family’s ancestral tomb to exhume and examine the corpse.

Now the autopsy results have finally come out!

"Speak!"

"According to nine forensic experts from Neishi County whom I consulted, Madam Sheng likely died from chronic poisoning."

"I also investigated the people around Madam Sheng and confirmed that she was probably poisoned by her daughter, Miss Sheng!"

"Confirmed?"

Upon hearing the retainer’s report, even Wei Wushang, who had experienced many trials, was somewhat unsettled.

Matricide!

"Confirmed!"

The retainer nodded and continued, "However, according to my investigation, Miss Sheng is not Madam Sheng’s biological daughter. Due to Sheng Lu’s promiscuity, his first wife swapped her own daughter with the daughter of Sheng Lu’s favorite concubine."

"Miss Sheng seems to have learned the truth."

"That’s why she poisoned Madam Sheng."

"..."

Wei Wushang was speechless.

Although Madam Sheng wasn’t Sheng Xueyi’s biological mother, she was still her legal mother.

Poisoning one’s legal mother is a crime punishable by death according to Daxia’s law.

"Do we have solid evidence to prove that Sheng Xueyi murdered her legal mother?"

"No!"

The retainer’s face turned gloomy.

These findings were mostly his deductions.

But he believed this to be the truth. Unfortunately, to convince the public of this truth, he still lacked sufficient evidence.

"This woman is truly ruthless!"

Without evidence, it’s impossible to deal with Sheng Xueyi through official channels. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Of course, without evidence, there’s no way to make the Fourteenth Prince believe him either.

Conversely, if he spoke up and exposed Sheng Xueyi’s secret, given the Fourteenth Prince’s current irrational state, he would likely not believe him and instead side with Sheng Xueyi.

"Continue the investigation, find a way to obtain solid evidence!"

Wei Wushang felt deeply discontented.

Restricted by Sheng Xueyi’s status, even as the Eldest Princess’s son and the future heir of the Wei Family, he felt helpless.

"Understood!"

The retainer answered respectfully, then left silently through the window.

While Wei Wushang was pondering how to resolve the matter with Sheng Xueyi, the Fourteenth Prince unexpectedly arrived outside his room with people.
