Reborn to choose a husband, I will lead the deposed prince to seize my ex-husband’s kingdom

"I had nothing to do in the garden today, so I sat on the eaves to bask in the sun. I saw your eldest daughter smashing Princess Mingyue with an egg."

"If she was just smashing things by herself, Princess Mingyue wouldn't blame her, but she actually encouraged a group of people to smash things with her."

When Xie Qingyao said this, he stopped.

Li Yanzhi thought about what Xie Qingyao said for Xu Mingyue that night during the Mid-Autumn Festival, his nose twitched slightly and his breathing became a little heavier.

He understood that if today's punishment was not severe enough, it would not be able to suppress Xie Qingyao's anger.

"Come here, whip that rebellious girl fifty times and lock her up in the ancestral hall. She will be released when she admits her mistake."

"Fifty whippings?" Xie Qingyao smiled: "Li Yanzhi, is your Li Mansion's whip heavier than the palace's boards?"

"I heard that the woman who kicked the princess on the Mid-Autumn Festival night was beaten to death with a stick."

After Xie Qingyao said these words, Li Yanzhi realized in horror that what Xie Qingyao wanted was Li Laner's life.

But...but Li Lan'er is his legitimate daughter who has spent more than ten years carefully cultivating her. She will be sent to the palace to participate in the selection of concubines in the future.

How can Li Yanzhi be willing to die now because of an egg?

What's more, the woman who was scolded by the cane during the Mid-Autumn Festival took the blame for Xie Chongyu. How can it compare with the petty quarrels in this girl's family today?

Is Xu Mingyue's life as valuable as Xie Chongyu's?

Xie Qingyao's patience was obviously limited, and he felt a little tired after waiting for less than half a cup of tea.

He took out the mysterious fan from his waist and made a muffled sound when it collided with the desk, exuding a bloodthirsty air.

When Li Yanzhi heard this noise, he thought that Xie Qingyao had killed so many people in the palace and still escaped unscathed. He had to admit that Xie Qingyao was fully capable of killing the entire Li family.

How could a person who was raised be as important as the entire Li family?

Abandoning one legitimate daughter and then finding a name to adopt another legitimate daughter will take some time to train, but it can always be done.

Gritting his teeth secretly, Li Yanzhi closed his eyes and said: "Come here, send another message to whip that rebellious girl a hundred times and beat her to death."

The housekeeper who was guarding the door of the mansion rubbed his ears when he heard this, for fear that he had heard the wrong words.

Li Lan'er was used to being pampered in this mansion over the years. Not to mention being beaten with a whip, even if she had a scratch, she would have to ask a doctor to treat her.

The housekeeper did not move immediately. Instead, he hunched over and looked at Li Yanzhi who was kneeling on the ground through the crack in the door.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Xie Qingyao who was sitting at the desk, kneeling with his legs soft.

Not caring about any dignity, the housekeeper scrambled and immediately went to make arrangements for such matters.

Xie Qingyao didn't say he was satisfied, let alone ask Li Yanzhi to get up. He just took off the beads from his wrist and fiddled with them.

This Buddhist thing, which was always able to save people in trouble, made the sound of the collision make the study a little colder.

The sunset on the horizon receded, and Xie Qingyao sat in the darkness and spoke:

"I just recited the Purana for my father, queen and mother. They asked me to ask them, when will the truth come out?"

Li Yanzhi's forehead was pressed tightly against the floor, and cold sweat accumulated on the floor, and soon it condensed into ice.

Xie Yan didn't let him check, how could he dare to check?

"This matter has been going on for nearly nine years, and many details are difficult to ascertain immediately. I hope that the wise king can give me a little more grace. I will definitely go all out to let the truth come to light."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li."

Xie Qingyao looked very talkative and seemed to be extremely considerate of Li Yanzhi's difficulties at the moment.

Just when Li Yanzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Xie Qingyao said in an extremely calm voice:

"Master Li, as soon as Xie Chongan went to Nanjun, the governor of the county and the director of the Salt and Iron Bureau died. I don't know if you believe it or not. Is this an accident?"

"Anyway, I can't believe this person who has been in a coma for more than eight years."

"These days, you can only find your own way out, otherwise you don't know how you will die in the future."

There was no alarmism, nor was there any intention to cause discord. What Xie Qingyao said was the truth.

The Prince of the East Palace fell nine years ago, but now Li Yanzhi's life and death are actually only a matter of Xie Yan's thoughts.

When Xie Qingyao walked out of the study, the house was already full of lights.

Not long ago, it was a sunny day, but now there is a chill in the air, and there seems to be signs of rain.

Li Yanzhi hurriedly sent over the umbrella and lantern: "Your Highness, do you need me to arrange someone to escort you back to your home?"

Xie Qingyao didn't like the umbrella and lantern at first, but thinking about Xu Mingyue's instructions to him, he left with the lantern in one hand and the umbrella in the other.

Walking out of the middle door, Xie Qingyao saw Li Laner coming towards the study with several personal guards behind him.

Passing by by mistake, Xie Qingyao immediately understood Li Laner's ultimate purpose.

But he didn't care about the purpose, he wanted to cut Li Lan'er to death himself.

But Xu Mingyue might come looking for him tonight, and Xie Qingyao didn't dare to let himself be stained with blood.

Turning sideways, Xie Qingyao spared Li Laner tonight.

Li Lan'er had never seen such a man who showed nobility and ruthlessness in such a careless manner. After just one glance, his mind was seduced by Xie Qingyao.

Forgetting the purpose of coming to the study, Li Laner immediately turned around and chased in the direction where Xie Qingyao left.

It wasn't until the back was no longer visible that Li Lan'er looked away, her cheeks red and she said to Li Yan: "Dad, who is this young master? My daughter wants to marry him."

Two sounds of "papa" came.

Li Yanzhi personally left two clear slap marks on Li Laner's delicate and fair face.

If Li Lan'er hadn't done such an evil thing today, how could Xie Qingyao, the murderer, have aimed his butcher's knife at him in the first place?

Li Laner covered her face with both hands, and the pain made her burst into tears: "Dad, why did you beat your daughter? Aren't you the one who loves your daughter the most?"

Li Yanzhi frowned: "Unfortunately, my family has been able to support such a rebellious girl like you with good food and drink. Not only do you not want to repay the family, but you even want to destroy my Li family."

"Butler, let's whip him here. Call all the brothers and sisters in the family over and whip him hard in front of them."

"Throw them into mass graves directly after drawing them, so as not to stain the eyes of our ancestors."

Li Lan'er was tied to a big tree with a rope, and the barbed whip fell on her body.

The rain was pouring down, and those who watched her being whipped with umbrellas in front of them were her brother-in-law, her concubine, and her mother...

The love and indulgence of the past were replaced by disgust at this moment. No one interceded for her, and no one showed mercy because of her suffering.

The heavy rain washed away the blood. The dying Li Lan'er was wrapped in a mat and carried into the carriage under the watchful eye of the housekeeper, heading towards the mass grave.

"Butler, why did you suddenly want to kill the young lady today?"

"I don't know how she can't figure it out. The rich young lady only has a good life, and she has to go to the trouble of Princess Mingyue."

"Isn't she the eldest daughter of the Madam and the Master? How come the Master and the Madam beat her to death just as she said?"

"It's just a dirty thing born of a lowly prostitute. If this appearance hadn't opened up a future for the Li family in the future, how could Madam recognize her as her legitimate daughter?"

And for such a beautiful woman, the Li family can have as many as they want.

The mass grave was unlucky. The boy who was carrying Li Lan'er thought of Li Lan'er's bloody appearance, so he threw Li Lan'er next to the big tree.

The mat wrapping Li Lan'er was blown away by the heavy rain, and drops of rain hit Li Lan'er's face. The dying Li Lan'er opened her eyes because of the resentment in her heart.

An umbrella covered the heavy rain, and Li Lan'er held onto her slim chance of survival with bloody hands.

Lifting up her undamaged face, that was Li Laner's only bargaining chip: "Save me, save me."

The man holding the umbrella squatted down: "Why should I save you?"

"As long as it allows me to take revenge, I will listen to you in anything."
