Two days later, a dying girl was lying outside the door of Jingwei Mansion.

Although the girl was reduced to skin and bones due to starvation, she still could not hide her beautiful appearance.

Just wearing an old shirt and lying down in front of Jingwei Mansion's Yamen, this sad and miserable appearance soon attracted people to watch.

Seeing the bad influence, the Jingwei Mansion immediately went to court to inquire. The girl first reported that Wu Ping, the prince of Chang Xinghou, had raped the women of the people.

There was a lustful eldest son in the Changxinghou Mansion, and almost everyone in the capital knew about it, but no one knew that after being insulted by him, he left the girls behind and continued to take brides and steal new brides.In just a few years, the Changxing Hou Mansion imprisoned dozens of girls.

Not only that, in order to save expenses in the backyard, Chang Xinghou's wife Wu Jiang made fewer and fewer offerings from the girls.

Most of those unfavored women were as skinny as the escaped girl, and many even died of starvation.

After hearing this, the policemen in Jingwei Mansion were as stunned as the people watching the excitement outside.

When the case was heard in public, the governor naturally wanted to give an explanation to everyone, so he ordered to go to the Changxing Marquis Mansion to investigate the matter.

Soon, in less than half a day, more than 30 uninherited girls from good families, more than ten married women, and more than a dozen concubines were rescued from the Changxing Hou Mansion.

More than 60 women were imprisoned in a small courtyard with only a dozen or so daily offerings. Food and clothing became a luxury in this small world.

When everyone was rescued, two skinny girls were already very cold...

For a time, public grievances boiled over.

Jingwei Mansion couldn't suppress it and didn't want to suppress it, so it reported the truth.

In the morning of the next day, the emperor smashed the zhezi into Chang Xinghou's face, angrily scolding him for being ridiculous, scum, and having lost the royal face.

Soon, Changxing Hou failed to manage his family strictly. He was deprived of his title and demoted to a commoner. He was sent to Mobei as a punishment and was never allowed to return to Beijing.

Wu Jiang, the wife of Changxinghou, was sentenced to be beheaded for killing people.

Wu Ping, the prince of the Marquis of Changxing, raped the women of the people, indulged in licentiousness, and harmed people's lives. He was sentenced to be cut in half.

The execution time is scheduled for late autumn.

When the news came back to the Xu Mansion, Xu Rongrong was stunned.

She opened the booklet she used to keep records.

In the previous life... it wasn't like this.

Although the emperor also reprimanded Marquis Changxing for his lax management of the family due to Wu Ping's peach blossom debt and deprived him of his title, he was not exiled.

Wu Jiangshi and Wu Ping were not sentenced to death.

As for the torture of young girls that is now spreading throughout the capital, there was no news about it in the previous life.

And the time is wrong, it’s actually advanced in this life!

Thinking about it carefully, the only variable was the life-and-death fight between himself and Wu Ping at the foot of Shaohua Mountain.

She struck hard, and although Wu Ping's name was Wuyou, he was seriously injured.

Could it be that the girl escaped because the Hou Mansion was too busy taking care of it and neglected to manage the backyard?

She was puzzled, but she didn't intend to embarrass herself. After all, no matter what the reason was, it would facilitate her next plan.

"Where is Liu Ning'er, who was brought back from Shaohua Temple, now?" She called Luo Shu.

"I was locked up in the woodshed. Madam was afraid that the master would know about it, so she didn't dare to deal with it yet."

"Go find her and tell her it's time."

"Yes." Luo Shu withdrew with doubts and went to send a message.

In the evening, when Xu Chao came back from duty, he was invited by Xu Liu to have dinner in the main courtyard.

In the past few days, Mrs. Xu Liu has been much more gentle and carefree, which greatly benefited Xu Chaoqian.

As soon as he sat down, he saw Xu Rongrong coming over.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu Liu said impatiently: "Why are you here?"

Xu Rongrong put on a timid look: "I...I want to come and have a meal with my father."

After speaking, she glanced at Xu Chaoqian cautiously, then quickly looked away, rubbing the corners of her clothes nervously: "If Madam feels inappropriate, I will go back."

Seeing the eldest daughter's obedient and timid appearance, Xu Chaoqian frowned almost inaudibly.

Sister Rong is going to marry into the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion. If she keeps showing up like this, she will be crushed and rounded by the Marquis once she enters the mansion. It will be very difficult for her to benefit the Xu Mansion.

No, she still had to get close to the Xu Liu family and learn how to run a family.

So he put on a smiling face and said: "Since you are here, just stay and go to Bai Cuiyuan and call Yaoyao over. Let's have a warm and intimate meal as a family."

Xu Yaoyao came soon, and the family sat together.

Mrs. Xu Liu looked bored, but Xu Rongrong seemed not to notice and concentrated on eating until...

"Master, help me!" A shrill cry for help appeared out of thin air.

Xu Chaoqian's bowl was frightened and dropped.

"What happened?" Xu Chaoqian, who had lost face, was furious.

While he was talking, a woman dressed in purple and blue clothes stumbled into the front yard, knelt down in front of Xu Chaoqian, and kept kowtowing: "Master, save me! Madam wants to kill me and silence me!"
