She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband

Chapter 160 Life and Death Are All Determined by This King

"Tang entered the Marquis' Mansion ten years ago and has been helping Li manage the affairs of the Mansion. She is deeply trusted by Li."

"Before Li passed away, she was worried that no one would take care of the affairs of the Marquisate, and Guangyao also wanted to find a wife, and she couldn't do it without the mistress to preside over it. So before she died, she hoped that Changzhou would marry Tang as soon as possible."

"Changzhou didn't agree at first, but it was my wife who persuaded him not to disappoint Li's last wish."

Qin Changzhou quickly said yes, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Although I am trying to fulfill my late wife's last wish, I am also wrong."

Qin Guangyao also said, "Your Majesty, what my mother was most worried about when she was alive was my marriage. She repeatedly told me that I should bring my wife and children to visit her after I got married."

As he spoke, his voice choked up. "I was raised by my mother, and I wanted to be filial to her, but 'the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, the son wants to take care of his parents but they are no longer there'."

He said it with such sincerity that Li Jingwan almost rolled her eyes.

Several people took turns to explain for Qin Changzhou. Chu Tingyu seemed to have listened and did not ask any more questions.

"Everyone, get up. Lord Wu'an, aren't you going to introduce other people in the palace to me?"

Qin Changzhou's expression relaxed. He got up and introduced everyone one by one. Everyone came forward to salute.

Chu Tingyu suddenly said, "From my perspective, Qin Guangyao and Tang look about 50% alike, and they look like biological mother and son."

Qin Changzhou's heart was lifted again, and he smiled and said, "Tang is a distant relative of the old lady, maybe that's the reason."

Tang Qiaoyin lowered her head quickly, her handkerchief almost breaking.

"It's time for me to introduce the guest I brought with me." Chu Tingyu looked at Qin Chongxiao and motioned him to come forward. "Speaking of which, this good friend of mine has a long history with your Marquis' Mansion."

"Oh, really?" Qin Zhongxiao pretended to be surprised and bowed to him, "My dear brother, may I ask your name?"

"My surname is Qin."

"Then it's fate." Qin Changzhou's smile deepened, "We both have the last name Qin, so we can be said to be a family."

"Maybe we were a family before?" Qin Chongxiao suddenly said.

Qin Changzhou thought he was joking and laughed out loud, "That is..."

Qin Chongxiao said, "Second brother, after ten years of separation, can't you even recognize my voice?"

Qin Changzhou's smile froze on his face, like an insect that was suddenly frozen, with only its antennae still moving slightly, struggling to its death.

His lips trembled slightly, and his heart beat like thunder. "Brother Qin, what are you talking about?"

Qin Chongxiao's lips curled up slightly, but his eyes were extremely cold.

"Ten years ago, after you pushed Li Dingzheng and I off the cliff, we thought we would never see you again."

Qin Changzhou's expression could be described as horrible. He looked as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and his face was completely bloodless.

This time it wasn't just his lips that started to tremble, his whole body also began to tremble.

Madam Qin and others were also extremely panicked.

Li Jingwan was delighted and moved by the show.

I thought she and her family would die in obscurity forever, but fortunately, Chu Tingyu came to seek justice for them.

Qin Chongxiao turned around and revealed his identity, "Old Madam, you don't recognize me either? I am Qin Chongxiao from the eldest house."

"No, it's impossible..." Old Madam Qin opened her eyes wide and almost couldn't stand.

"Qin Chongxiao died a long time ago. You are a fake. You are not from Wu'an Marquis Mansion. You are a fake."

"Your Majesty, he is not Qin Chongxiao." She explained to Chu Tingyu, "He is a liar, don't be fooled by him."

Chu Tingyu didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly.

Qin Chongxiao smiled and said, "Old Madam, you are right. I am indeed not from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion."

He took a step forward and said, "Because my mother actually gave birth to a baby girl, and I was just brought here to secure the title of the Marquisate."

Madam Qin could no longer hold on, her legs weakened and she fell to the ground. Qin Guangyao grabbed her and said, "Great-grandmother."

"Impossible..." She shook her head stiffly, "You are lying..."

Qin Changzhou was about to open his mouth to argue, but he saw Chu Tingyu clapped his hands twice.

Soon, a group of soldiers with swords walked into Youlanju, each with a solemn expression.

The person walking in front was Qi Ming, who was dressed in military uniform. Compared with ten years ago, he became more upright and serious.

"Your Highness." Qi Ming clasped his fists, "I have sent soldiers to surround the Marquis's residence. Everyone outside the courtyard has been controlled."

Qin Changzhou was horrified, "My Lord, what do you mean?"

Chu Tingyu smiled coldly, his eyes seemed to have been infected by a thousand-year-old ice, emitting a chill, and looked down at him, "After returning to the capital, I specifically asked the emperor for permission."

"The Emperor has allowed me to thoroughly investigate the so-called treason by the Zhenyuan General's Mansion, the cause of Li Jingwan's death, and the case of the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion defrauding the title and killing people to silence them."

"The Emperor has specifically allowed me that once the truth is uncovered, the lives of those involved will be decided by me."

Qin Changzhou and others suddenly lost the ability to speak.

Li Jingwan shed tears at this time.

-

The interrogation was held in the courtyard of Youlanju and proceeded quickly.

It turned out that after Chu Tingyu returned to Beijing, he had been secretly investigating these matters in private.

With the evidence Qin Chongxiao had sent people to collect previously, plus the powerful influence he had after becoming a prince, he had already investigated most of these matters before coming to Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

At first, Madam Qin and others were unwilling to admit it, but faced with solid evidence and witnesses, as well as torture when they refused to cooperate, they had no choice but to plead guilty.

This belated interrogation lasted from day to night.

The soldiers held torches to light up the yard, and Li Jingwan, who had turned into a ghost, felt warmth for the first time.

After the interrogation, everyone in the marquis' mansion signed and sealed the charges.

Qin Chongxiao, who had been silent all this time, clenched his fists and finally couldn't control his emotions anymore.

"Qin, you swapped my daughter with my mother's for the title of Marquis of Wu'an, poisoned her and killed her, and in order to prevent the secret from being revealed, you let Qin Changzhou kill me and Li Dingzheng. You are worse than a beast!"

"The thing I regret most in my life is that when I was framed by you and had to leave the capital, I did not tell Miss Li that the Marquis' Mansion was not a good place. I deceived her into taking care of the Marquis' Mansion and raising Qin Changzhou's children. In the end, you wanted to harm her and the General's Mansion."

"How many people have you killed for your own selfish desires!"

His roar and the white smoke from the torches rose into the sky, then were blown away by the night wind.

Li Jingwan was already in tears.

Even though she had already taken revenge in this life, she now wished she could pull out a knife and chop all these scums to death!

Qin Changzhou and others knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up.

"Give it here." Chu Tingyu suddenly spoke and stood up from his chair.

Qi Ming behind him handed him a sword.

He drew out the sword, which reflected the moonlight and the fire.

Chu Tingyu walked up to Qin Changzhou with a sword in hand, lifted his chin with the tip of the sword, and forced him to look up.

Qin Changzhou no longer had the vigor and vitality he had recently, and now his face was depressed and fearful.

Chu Tingyu said, "This sword was given to me by General Zhenyuan."

"Today, I will use this sword to avenge his family."
