Chapter 122 The incident came to light
Zheng looked at Shen Qingwan with satisfaction and nodded slightly.
"Wan'er, I'm glad you figured it out. Now we have no choice but to go all the way and not retreat at all."
At this time, the sunlight outside the window shone into the room through the carved window lattices, but it could not dispel the haze in the hearts of the mother and daughter.
The room was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if even the air had become heavy.
Zheng began to think about her next plan. She kept thinking about how to find a reliable person to transfer the silver.
Shen Qingwan sat quietly aside, still feeling uneasy.
After a while, Zheng's eyes lit up as if she had thought of something.
"Wan'er, I have thought of someone who may be able to help us transfer the money."
Shen Qingwan quickly asked: "Mom, who is it?"
Zheng lowered her voice and said, "He is your uncle. He is a cautious man and loyal to us. As long as we give him some benefits, he will definitely help us."
Shen Qingwan frowned and said worriedly, "But is my uncle...really reliable? What if he is discovered?"
Zheng patted Shen Qingwan's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, your uncle is always careful. And he knows the seriousness of this matter and won't expose it easily. We will send someone to contact him now."
So, Zheng secretly sent a trusted person to find Shen Qingwan's uncle.
While waiting, the mother and daughter were always worried, as if they were waiting for a judgment of fate.
At the same time, Shen Tangan and Shen Huaichuan were also stepping up their investigation into Zheng's actions.
They had already realized that Zheng was planning something, but they were still unclear about the details.
Shen Tangan decided to continue observing Zheng secretly and wait for the opportunity to completely expose her conspiracy.
In other places in the Marquis' Mansion, the servants also began to notice the strange atmosphere in the mansion.
They discussed privately and speculated about the changes that the Marquis' Mansion was about to face.
The entire mansion was shrouded in anxiety, as if a storm was about to come.
As the days passed, Shen Qingwan and Zheng waited for news anxiously.
The atmosphere in the room became increasingly depressing. Shen Qingwan stood up and paced from time to time, feeling uneasy in her heart.
"Mom, why hasn't my uncle sent me any news yet? I'm so worried."
Shen Qingwan frowned and clasped her hands tightly.
Zheng was also a little nervous, but she tried to stay calm.
"Wan'er, don't worry. Your uncle has always been cautious in doing things, so he must be making careful arrangements. Let's wait a little longer."
At this time, the sky outside the window gradually became gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing that a storm was about to come.
The atmosphere in the mansion was just like the weather, dull and tense.
On the other hand, Shen Tangan and Shen Huaichuan's investigation also made new progress.
They discovered that Zheng had frequent contacts with some mysterious figures, who seemed to be inextricably linked to the mortgage of the land deeds.
Shen Huaichuan said to Shen Tangan with a serious expression: "Sister, this matter has become more complicated. It seems that the power behind the Zheng family should not be underestimated."
Shen Tangan nodded slightly, his eyes revealing determination. "Brother, we must speed up our actions and not let Zheng's conspiracy succeed. Otherwise, the Marquis' Mansion will be in an irreparable situation."
At this moment, a servant came running over and reported to Shen Tangan and Shen Huaichuan: "Master, Miss, there is news that Zheng is secretly planning to transfer more property."
Shen Tangan sneered: "It's just as I expected. Brother, we can't just sit there and wait for death."
Shen Huaichuan thought for a moment and said, "Sister is right. We must take action immediately to stop Zheng."
Therefore, Shen Tangan and Shen Huaichuan decided to inform their father Shen Jiyuan of the information they knew.
When Shen Jiyuan found out, he became furious.
"How dare this Zheng be so bold and presumptuous."
Shen Jiyuan immediately summoned everyone in the mansion and ordered a thorough investigation into Zheng's actions.
At this time, Zheng and Shen Qingwan were still immersed in the anxiety of waiting for news from their uncle, completely unaware that danger was quietly approaching.
Zheng and Shen Qingwan were terrified when the guards from the mansion suddenly broke into their room.
"What are you doing?" Zheng shouted in a timid tone.
The guards said expressionlessly, "We are here to search on the orders of the Marquis."
Zheng and Shen Qingwan watched in despair as the guards rummaged through the room. They knew that everything was over.
In the end, Zheng and Shen Qingwan's conspiracy was completely exposed, and they paid a heavy price for their greed and selfishness.
Shen Tangan and Shen Huaichuan, with their wisdom and courage, successfully protected the Marquis' Mansion from greater disaster.
After Zheng and Shen Qingwan were taken away by the guards, the entire mansion fell into chaos.
The servants were whispering and talking among themselves, all speculating on what the fate of Zheng's mother and daughter would be.
Shen Tangan looked at the chaotic scene, but his heart was exceptionally calm.
She knew that all this was the result of the actions of Zheng mother and daughter.
She ordered Yunzhu to gather all the servants in the courtyard and said seriously, "Now that something like this has happened in the Marquis' Mansion, everyone must be careful in what they say and do. Anyone who dares to cause trouble at this time will not be forgiven easily."
The servants nodded one after another, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
Shen Huaichuan was discussing the follow-up matters with his father Shen Jiyuan in the study.
Shen Jiyuan's face was filled with anger. He never expected that Zheng would be so bold as to do something that would harm the interests of the Marquis' Mansion.
"Huaichuan, you handled this matter very well. If you and Tang An hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would be disastrous."
Shen Jiyuan sighed and said.
Shen Huaichuan bowed slightly and said, "Father, this is what I should do. But the behavior of Zheng's mother and daughter this time is too bad. We must give them a severe punishment to serve as a warning to others."
Shen Jiyuan nodded and said, "Then how do you think we should deal with them?"
Shen Huaichuan thought for a moment and said, "Father, Zheng mortgaged the Marquis's land deed without authorization and secretly transferred property. She deserves death. But considering that she has been in the Marquis's mansion for many years, even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. You can expel her from the Marquis's mansion and never allow her to set foot in the mansion again. As for Shen Qingwan, although she made mistakes, she is your daughter after all, and her wedding date with the prince is approaching. Let her reflect on her mistakes in seclusion in the mansion."
After Shen Jiyuan heard this, he pondered for a while and said, "Let's do as you say."
At the same time, Zheng and Shen Qingwan were locked in the woodshed.
Zheng's face was filled with despair; she knew that she was completely finished this time.
Shen Qingwan was in tears. She regretted that she should not have listened to her mother and made such a mistake.
"Mom, what should we do now?"
Shen Qingwan asked while crying.
Zheng shook her head helplessly and said, "Wan'er, don't worry. Your father still has feelings for us. He won't be so cruel. Moreover, your wedding to the prince is approaching. He won't dare to do anything to you."
