A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Chapter 180 - 180 No Mistake Made



180 No Mistake Made

“Grandmother, that’s not what I meant. I’m just curious. Why weren’t you willing to help? You must have your reasons. I believe you.”

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, the empress dowager was extremely touched. Ning Yue was so likable.

“There’s nothing to say about the Governor being an official, but he’s very obsessed about having sons. His wife gave birth to five daughters for him in a row. Seeing that his middle-aged wife was no longer able to give birth, he took in a concubine.”

“The other party was very hardworking. She gave birth to a son eight months after entering the residence. The doctor said that the baby was born prematurely, but he didn’t know that this woman didn’t give birth to his son at all. The emperor also advised the Governor, but he wouldn’t listen. He felt that it was his son and doted on that woman very much. In the end, he actually doted on his concubine and killed his wife.”

“Originally, the Governor was the Prime Minister but what he did angered the emperor so he was demoted. Later, the commoners jointly petitioned for mercy on his behalf. On account of his contributions, the emperor sent him here to be the Governor. This is also your future father-in-law’s fief. The emperor feels that with Jiang Huan and Jiang Ying around, he can watch over him.”

“I didn’t expect him to condone his son to do such a thing. In addition, I have to remind you that if your foundation is unstable, it’s best not to touch him. Otherwise, it won’t be good if the people rebel.”

When the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she sighed heavily. This was the reason.

The emperor had placed the Governor in Laifu Town because he planned to let Jiang Huan and Jiang Ying take action. However, because Jiang Huan was always at the border, this matter fell on Jiang Ying.

She understood her grandson. With the emperor’s reminder, he would naturally take this matter seriously. He probably already had a countermeasure.

If she attacked rashly, it might disrupt Jiang Ying’s plan. In addition, the governor’s son had also said that he would give the Ning family half a month to prepare. Half a month was enough to do a lot of things.

She thought for a moment and did not interfere.

When Xin Xin heard that the Governor’s son was coming over, she avoided him because she knew about the Governor and her son’s plans.

She was thinking the same thing as the Empress Dowager. She couldn’t disrupt Jiang Ying’s plan.

Hearing the Empress Dowager’s words, Ning Yue was instantly stunned. How could a mere governor cause the commoners to rebel?

However, Ning Yue understood the empress dowager’s words. She did not interfere because of this.

If the Empress Dowager did it, public opinion would say that the emperor did not want to let him off at all, so he attacked his son. That would be even worse.

Ning Yue thanked the empress dowager gratefully. She had a direction to think about. At the thought of this, Ning Yue simply ran to Jiang Ying to discuss.

“I know about the governor’s matters. Can you get someone to investigate him for me?” Ning Yue asked.

Without another word, Jiang Ying took out a thick stack of paper from the bookshelf and handed it to Ning Yue. Ning Yue took it and was dumbfounded.

“Are these all evidence of the governor’s son’s misdeeds?” Ning Yue asked.

“Yes. All these years, I’ve been investigating the Governor’s problems and found nothing, so the Governor is indeed a good official.”

After investigating for so many years and failing to find any mistakes of the Governor, Jiang Ying gave up and planned to start with the son of the Inspector General. Unexpectedly, he happened to collect so much incriminating evidence.

This time, it was fine to punish the Governor for not managing his family strictly.

However, the crime of not managing his family was not a serious crime. It was impossible to use this to set the Governor back.

The reason why the emperor did not touch the Governor previously was not only because of the people’s expectations, but also because he had no other problems other than doting on his concubine and ignoring his wife. This was not a big crime.

He had been having a headache about this recently. He wanted to ask Ning Yue what she could do, but he did not expect something to happen to her first.

He threw this to Ning Yue. What Ning Yue wanted to do was up to her.

“This can’t convict the Governor. What does the emperor think?” Ning Yue asked.

“Uncle Emperor placed him here so that we could investigate him and see if there were any problems. If there were, we would deal with him. But now I can’t find any problems.”
