Traveling through ancient times

Wang Tao saluted and said, "Madam, although Hua Hong has confessed her guilt, she died after hitting her head against a pillar. The coroner performed an autopsy and found that before her death, she..."

After hesitating for a while, he finally mustered up the courage to continue:

"…The body was covered with wounds, both new and old, horrible to look at, and…she was no longer a virgin!"

Feng Qinglan was shocked, her face darkened, and her heart was in turmoil. She knew that Feng Ziyu's family was not a good one, but she didn't expect...

"Thank you for your reminder, big brother Yacha. I now know what to do about this matter!"

Gu Dalian bowed and thanked him, then rummaged through her sleeve and took out a purse containing twenty taels of silver, which she stuffed into Wang Tao's pocket!

"This is a small gift from us, please accept it. As for the girl, please help send her to the charity cemetery first, and we will arrange for her to be settled later!"

Gu Dalian looked at Feng Qinglan and saw her nod, probably because she had other ideas, so she said no more!

After seeing the person off, Feng Qinglan pressed his chest!

Huahong served Mei'er. She was a house-born girl. She had met her several times and thought she was a very smart little girl. Unexpectedly... what kind of experience made her choose such a fierce way to die?

Gu Dalian had not expected these underworld things. Although she had read many novels about domestic intrigues in her previous life, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she saw them happening around her!

"grandmother……"

Gu Dalian didn't know how to comfort her. This was a matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it happened unexpectedly in the Duke's Mansion!

Feng Qinglan waved her hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I've asked Ah Wei to arrange for the burial of that girl's body!"

Without saying anything else, she guessed that her elder brother should have received the letter in the past two days!

Let's wait and see what arrangements Big Brother has!

However, within two days, the people who were secretly investigating outside sent back news that made Feng Qinglan's face turn black!

"Miss, you can't be angry. Your body is in good health now. Even if you want to investigate, you have to think long and hard!"

Nanny Awei patted her young lady's back gently, feeling sad. She never expected that Feng Ziyu was the one behind the tragedy in the Duke's Mansion!

Feng Qinglan's eyes were already blurred with tears as she thought of her two children and grandchildren who had died tragically, and then of the old Duke who had been bedridden, and finally passed away!

The anger in her heart was rising steadily. She didn't want to wait, she couldn't wait, she couldn't wait. She wanted to bring this family of jackals who had been hiding in wealth and luxury to ruin and make them pay the price they deserved!

Feng Meir has been in a state of panic ever since Hua Hong was taken away, fearing that this bitch would expose her. Although even if something really happened, she could handle it, she was afraid that her reputation would be damaged if it got out!

It was not until the evening that a message came from the front hall, asking her to go and talk. Feng Meir's heart was trembling, but she went to see her great-aunt with gritted teeth!

As soon as he entered the front hall, Feng Qinglan shouted with a cold face:

"Your Majesty!"

This momentum was enough to scare Feng Meir so much that she fell to her knees, her voice trembling:

"...Aunt...Grandma...Did Mei'er do anything wrong?"

"Your Majesty, keeping silent, has brought shame upon our government, and you are still feeling wronged?"

Feng Meir hurriedly bowed her head and admitted her mistake:

"...Grandma...Mei'er is not wronged. Mei'er did do something wrong...Huahong is my personal maid after all. She actually betrayed her master and did such a thing. It was Mei'er who failed to discipline her properly, causing the servant to bully her master...Please punish me, Grandma!"

Feng Qinglan sneered:

"I dare not punish you, nor do I dare to keep you in the Duke's Mansion. If another master betrays him, will the Duke's Mansion still have this reputation that it has enjoyed for a hundred years?"

When Feng Meir heard this, she became anxious. Before leaving the capital, her father and mother had secretly told her to stay in the Duke's Mansion no matter what, because at least half of the property here would be her dowry in the future!

"Grandma, Mei'er has already regretted being soft-hearted and letting these servants think they are greater than their masters. From now on, Mei'er will discipline her people and will never cause any trouble to Grandma again!"

"Please don't let Mei'er go. Mei'er likes to be with her!"

Feng Meir looked at Feng Qinglan with eyes full of admiration, her palm-sized face filled with tears. If someone who didn't know the truth saw it, they would think how much Feng Meir loved this great aunt!

However, Feng Qinglan was filled with sadness and could only suppress his disgust and snorted coldly:

"...If you want to stay, you can. Bring your people to Qiuhua Garden and stay there. You are not allowed to go out unless necessary. If you need to go, you must get my consent. If you are willing, you can stay. If not, pack your bags today and leave tomorrow!"

Feng Qinglan didn't want to waste time and spoke directly, completely lacking in his usual gentleness and kindness. This made Feng Meir even more worried, and she hurriedly shook her head!

"Grandma, if Mei'er won't leave, I'll take her to Qiuhua Garden and put her under house arrest. Everything will be up to you!"

This Qiuhua Garden is a secluded place in the Duke’s Mansion. The yard is a bit old, the family has declined in number, and Feng Qinglan is in no mood to rebuild it, so it is now a bit shabby!

As soon as Feng Meir walked to the Moon Gate, she felt extremely regretful and wondered if her head was stuck in the door.

The courtyard gate here is dilapidated, with the paint peeling and mottled, and it creaks when it is opened slightly!

Entering the yard, I saw weeds all over the ground due to neglect, and even the window paper on the windows had many holes. The main house was better, with curtains, mosquito nets, and all the necessary furniture!

But compared to the yard where she used to live, it’s a world of difference!

Feng Meir was stunned. She didn't expect that her great aunt was serious this time. She threw her into this shabby place and didn't allow her to go out!

"...Ah...What kind of a shabby place is this? Why are there rats?...How can people live here?...Ming wuwu..."

Feng Meir really cried this time, but she was unwilling to give up. She was afraid that once she walked out of the Duke's Mansion, everything here would have nothing to do with her anymore!

"Miss, please sit outside first. We, the servants, will go in and clean up the mess!"

As a first-class maid, Liu Lu had a heavier burden after Hua Hong left, mainly because there was no one to help share the young lady's punishment!

Feng Meir was helpless at this time, so she had to sit in the yard on a high stool brought out by the maid, and look up at the sky!

I kept gritting my teeth and cursing in my heart:

"You old woman who has no descendants, when you can no longer move, I will make sure that you can neither go up to heaven nor down to earth, and you will neither be able to live nor die!"

I was playing the eye-rolling game by myself when Auntie Awei came over with someone and said with a smile:

"Miss Sun, this old slave is here to resettle!"

Feng Meir quickly put away the impatience on her face, pursed her lips and smiled:

"Mammy, how can I arrange for you to stay here?"

"The old lady said that since you have made a mistake, you must seriously correct it. When you came here, you brought six slaves with you. Now, I will leave one with you, and the other four will be trained by me!"

Feng Meier...
