The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1169: Chapter 1165: Seeking Justice

Su Yingxue released Wang Yun from her ropes, and Wang Yun immediately took out the cloth stuffed in her mouth and indignantly bellowed, “Mother! By aiding a tyrant, you’re complicit in his crimes. If Dad saw this from heaven, he would be angry too!”

It’s too much!

To prevent her from facing the emperor, from uncovering Dad’s coffin, her mother actually watched her, with approval, as her brother tied her up in the room and forced her to press her fingerprints on the withdrawal of the complaint, trying to bury her father’s death!

These were her mother and brother!

Madam Meng wiped away tears in a panic. “Yun Er! Mother is doing this for your own good. After all, you are a woman, and now that your father is gone, the eldest brother acts as the father. If you don’t listen to your brother and deliberately oppose him, what will you do in the future… How will that be good for you!”

Without the support of her own family, not to mention the difficulty of finding someone to marry, even if she married into another family, she would still be subjected to endless bullying!

Wang Yun shook her head through her tears. “Daughter doesn’t care about these things! Daughter only cares about… giving Daddy justice!”

She then turned to Su Yingxue, knelt before her, and kowtowed with a thud. “Please, auntie, take me to see the emperor! I must ask the emperor to uphold justice, to investigate the cause of my father’s death, and to clear his name! We can’t let his death remain so… unclear!”

Su Yingxue helped her up. “Don’t cry, the emperor is already here, in the front hall. Once you see the emperor, just explain the whole story clearly.”

Wang Yun’s eyes brightened, like someone in the dark seeing the stars of the Milky Way. “The emperor… he’s come?”

She was both surprised and delighted, not expecting that Chu Yihan of the imperial dignity would condescend to come to her house. Wang Yun’s heart pounded chaotically, almost unable to keep from leaping out of her chest.

She hurriedly asked Su Yingxue to go out with her, heading to the front hall together.

Madam Meng wanted to persuade Wang Yun a few more words, but Wang Yun had already made up her mind and couldn’t be pulled back by Madam Meng. She didn’t even glance at the indecisive Madam Meng but followed Su Yingxue directly.

However, she was so agitated when she walked that she missed a step on the staircase and nearly fell.

An unfamiliar maid stepped forward to support her, “Miss, be careful!”

Wang Yun felt a slight sting where the maid supported her and instinctively pushed the maid away. “I’m alright! I’m fine!”

Seeing her fall behind, Su Yingxue looked back at her. “What happened?”

Wang Yun shook her head and hurriedly picked up her skirts to catch up. “It’s nothing, auntie. I was just careless while walking.”

Su Yingxue took another look at the maid who had helped Wang Yun and who hurriedly left with a sense of urgency, as if something were amiss.

She pointed at the maid’s retreating figure. “Is she someone from your house?”

Wang Yun glanced back hastily. “Yes!”

She was indeed dressed in their servants’ clothes!

Normally, she would have taken more care to notice something was off with the maid, but she was too anxious at this moment and didn’t take a closer look. She followed Su Yingxue at a quick pace toward the front hall.

The Wang Family was a royal merchant, also quite renowned in the Jiangnan region. Before Wang Weiran’s death, he was the vice-chairman of the merchants’ association. With a substantial family fortune, their residence naturally occupied a vast expanse of land. From Wang Yun’s courtyard to the front hall was a considerable distance, taking a while to traverse.

Wang Ao stood trembling before Chu Yihan, praying fervently that Wang Yun must not appear!

Even if his mother couldn’t stop her, Xiao Hui had better think of a way to prevent this detestable young girl from facing the emperor!
