Chapter 508 There is another unlucky sister
When the servant heard this, and that Minister Lin wasn't coming, he started to have evil thoughts. He ran to Minister Lin's room and raped Li Miao. Then he packed up his things and hurried back to the Left Minister's residence. He told the Left Minister that Minister Lin hadn't been there. He had originally gone to take Li Miao back home, but on his way there, he happened to see a lecher running back from Li Miao's room. He chased him for a long time but couldn't catch up. He didn't dare ask the people at the Hot Spring Villa for help in finding him, for fear of alerting more people. He could only return to ask the Left Minister for what to do.
[Even if they didn't want to stir up trouble, many people in the Hot Spring Villa knew that a girl in their villa had her innocence ruined, but they didn't know whose girl it was.]
After hearing the servant's words, the Left Minister was so furious he nearly fainted. He hadn't expected Minister Lin to not go. If this matter became public, not only would he lose his promotion, but his position would be in jeopardy. Therefore, Li Miao had to die, otherwise it would be too late.
If they didn't want the truth to be exposed, they had to silence Li Miao. That night, Minister Zuo brought the servant from the mansion who had signed a death contract with her and brought Li Miao back to his residence. Without a word, he presented her with white silk and poisoned wine, saying that her innocence was gone. If she continued to live, making a scene would only put her younger siblings' marriages in jeopardy. If she committed suicide of her own accord, she would be considered a chaste heroine, and it wouldn't affect their entire mansion or her younger siblings' marriages.
[Minister Zuo's youngest daughter knew of the evil deeds he had done. She hadn't stopped him at first, and now, seeing a life about to be lost, she couldn't help but feel some regret. So she quietly released Li Miao from the mansion. Even so, Li Miao didn't want to live anymore. The world was so big that she had nowhere else to go, and no place to stay. Even if she went back, she would only be given a bowl of poisoned wine. But even if she died, she didn't want to die in Minister Zuo's mansion. That uncle and that family had done too many evil things to her, so she wanted to leave and die outside. She wandered around the dock for nearly a day before choosing to jump. However, her life was quite good. She actually met Wen Nuan who had returned from Jiangnan. If she hadn't met Wen Nuan, she would have died too.]
[What a beast! What a beast! How could there be such a scum in the court? He would do anything to climb the ladder, even sacrificing his own niece.]
Gu Jianchu clenched his fingers in anger, his whole body emitting a cold anger, and even his eyes flashed with a cold light.
For some reason, when Wen Nuan saw Gu Jianchu's expression, she felt a chill on her back.
"Yunhe, go and spread the news of Frost Descent." Gu Jianchu's cold voice fell.
Chongfeng and Wenzhu are both with the emperor now, and they both have important things to do, so they probably don't have the time to take care of this side. Shuangjiang can, however.
After Yunhe left, Gu Jianchu couldn't help but find out the details of what happened.
【Not later. 】
[It even involved other melons. ]
[No wonder sending his niece to bed was so easy. It turns out this man has done this before. Even his current position as Left Vice Minister was not obtained through his own ability, but through crooked means, and at the expense of his own sister.]
[The Left Minister also had a beautiful younger sister. Because her fiancé died a violent death, she had never married and remained at home. At the time, the Left Minister was only a minor official. He wanted to climb the career ladder, but he knew he lacked the ability and it would be difficult for him to rise on his own. So, he set his sights on his younger sister. He used the same tactics he used to lure his younger sister into the bed of the former Minister of the Central Secretariat. After sleeping with her, the Minister denied the affair. The Left Minister took his younger sister back. When his sister learned the truth, she couldn't bear the humiliation and felt even more guilty towards her fiancé. She quarreled with the Left Minister and committed suicide.]
The Left Assistant Minister was a man of deep scheming. He didn't want his sister's death to be in vain, so he secretly contacted the Minister of the Central Secretariat and told him that his sister had died. However, he could report her rape to the authorities and have them investigate. Since she was already dead, there would be no evidence. No one would know that she had drugged her sister and sent her to the Minister of the Central Secretariat's bed. The Minister of the Central Secretariat, aware of the stakes involved, immediately agreed to promote him within six months. No matter how capable he was, he couldn't reach a high position in the short term.
The Minister of the Central Secretariat was a man of his word, having actually used his connections to help him ascend to the throne. So, this man had tasted the sweetness of using women to propel him to power. Not only his niece, he even had the guts to do it with his own sister. However, this time, he made a mistake, humiliating Li Miaobai. Li Miaobai is now a useless pawn. If he still wants to ascend to the throne, he'll probably have to choose his own daughter.
[The girl who let Li Miao go probably saw this and let him go.]
Even if he wanted to use this method with Li Miao as a pawn, it would be impossible. After all, Minister Lin had never even met Li Miao, so it was impossible for him to blame her for no reason.
Even if he refused to pay, he would still pay for it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to deal with Li Miao so quickly.
After a while, Shuangjiang followed Yunhe to Kunning Palace.
Yunhe was wearing a black official robe and hat, standing there with his body straight. However, compared to Wenzhu and Chongfeng, Shuangjiang's face was dark, but it was not particularly dark and ugly, more like a healthy black. "I wonder what important instructions the Queen has summoned me for."
Gu Jianchu sat up straight, picked up the white cat lying beside him and held it in his arms.
This white cat was picked up by Xie Ci'an in the imperial garden. No one knew where it came from. Seeing the pitiful kitten trapped in the snow, and knowing that she was bored in the palace all day, she simply gave it to her to entertain her.
She stroked the cat's head from time to time. After feeding it for the past few days, the cat had grown much fatter than when she first arrived. "Miss Wen said that Minister Li's niece committed suicide by jumping into the river. Fortunately, she happened to be passing by and rescued her, saving her life. However, Miss Wen sent someone to inquire about the reason why Li Miao committed suicide. She said that Minister Li asked her to go to the hot springs the day before yesterday, and she was raped by thieves at the hot spring villa, so she wanted to commit suicide."
"When Li Miao was in the palace, I heard that she wasn't close to her uncle. She lost her parents when she was young, and her uncle and aunt often used her as a servant before sending her to the palace. Now that she's left the palace and returned home, how could such a mean uncle and aunt allow her to go to the hot springs while not going themselves? I suspect there's some other conspiracy going on, so you should go and investigate what's going on."
