I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

By the way, when Lady Xuandehou learned of Shen Yan’s tragic death, her first reaction was...it didn’t matter.

She's just a concubine's daughter, not her biological child, why should she care?

Seeing this, the maid who came to report the news pretended to mutter, "Alas, it seems that the Marquis's treasury is full and there is no shortage of compensation money. Well, I am asking for your help. Goodbye."

compensation?

Upon hearing these two words, Lady Xuande Hou's eyes lit up!

You know, the dowry that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion gave to Shen Yan, a concubine, was as much as 200,000 taels of silver. Now that a murder has occurred, they must pay 300,000 or 400,000 taels of silver as compensation, right?

At this time, Shi Hua reminded again: "If you want to seek justice for your daughter, go quickly. If you go too late, be careful that the other party will pretend to be a bandit and kill her, and completely clear the real murderer."

Upon hearing this, Lady Xuande immediately called the housekeeper over and said, "Our daughter was tortured and killed by her son-in-law! Quick, grab your weapons and go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with me to seek justice!"

In an instant, two hundred young and strong servants were dispatched from the Xuan De Marquis's Mansion, and they rushed all the way to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.

Seeing this, Shihua smiled with satisfaction.

After climbing over the wall and returning to the Linfeng Courtyard of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Shi Hua took off the human skin mask on her face, restored her original appearance, and reported to Fu Yuzheng.

Why does she wear a human skin mask?

Nonsense, if you are doing something to instigate trouble, you naturally cannot reveal your true identity, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to your master.

~

At the gate of the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion.

The wife of the Marquis Xuande faced the main gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and cried angrily in the street:

"Neighbors, please come and judge for yourself!"

"My poor daughter, although she is not my biological child, I raised her by myself."

"She had been married to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion for less than two months when she was tortured to death by the damned Gao Yan... Her arms and legs were all chopped off, and even her head was separated from her neck..."

"You bastard, you didn't even leave me a complete body..."

"You are fickle, you don't like my Yan'er anymore, you are tired of her, just divorce her, why bother to destroy her life?"

"My poor Yan'er, if I had known Gao Yan was such a beast, I would not have let you marry me even if you offered me 500,000 taels of betrothal gifts, let alone 200,000 taels..."

This crying and wailing attracted the residents of the entire street and passers-by in a short while. They surrounded the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in three layers.

When the onlookers heard that Gao Yan had brutally murdered his newlywed wife, they were all shocked.

"Oh my god, how long have they been married? Less than two months, they are in love and in love, but he has already gone to the point of killing his wife? Gao Yan is really a beast!"

"Miss Shen Yan is so unlucky that she has to deal with a devil like Gao Yan..."

"I was not optimistic about the marriage when we got engaged. I thought Gao Yan was not a promising guy. Unexpectedly, not only is he a hopeless guy, he's also a murderer? Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

In an instant, Gao Yan's reputation deteriorated further and he was completely in trouble!

Fu Yuzheng slipped out from the side door and leaned against a big tree by the roadside, enjoying... everyone's fierce criticism of Gao Yan.

This feels so great.

The most satisfying thing is that in this life, Uncle San avoided Shen Yan, the plague god. In a blink of an eye, Shen Yan dragged Gao Yan to hell!

Shen Yan and Gao Yan are truly a perfect match!

While Fu Yuzheng was sighing in the alley, Lady Lin, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, was hiding in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, hurriedly dealing with Shen Yan's body...

It was not until a quarter of an hour later that Lin rushed out of the door angrily, raised her chin and shouted at Lady Xuande, "Mother-in-law, what are you doing?"

"What? Of course, to seek justice for my dead daughter! Your son is a murderer, he killed my daughter!" Lady Xuan Dehou shouted.

But Lin angrily shouted:

"Bullshit, what are you cursing for? How did your daughter die? Shen Yan went out for an outing this morning and said she would stay overnight and come back tomorrow night."

"Your daughter is alive and well, but you curse her to death. Is there any mother like you?"

Onlookers:? ? ?

Such a plot twist?

So is Shen Yan alive or dead?

When Fu Yuzheng saw Lin lying like this, she immediately knew what Lin was planning.

——The plan remains the same, to fake the murder case into "Shen Yan was out playing, met a gangster, and was tortured to death"?

Gee tut.

Fu Yuzheng smiled. It wouldn't be long before Lin would deeply regret her foolish decision at this moment.

She promised.

As expected, Lady Xuande became angry and irritated, and she became even more violent, threatening fiercely:

"Madam, how dare you lie with your eyes open? Well, I will report this to the authorities and have them send people to search and confiscate your Zhenguo Mansion!"

Hearing this, Lin felt relieved.

yamen?

Which government office dares to search and confiscate the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion?

You know, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is the maiden home of the current Queen, and it is also the residence of a high-ranking official. Even if those officials were given a hundred guts, they would not dare to come and search it!

Thinking of this, Lin said indifferently:

"Go ahead, report to the police now! What are you waiting for?"

"Madam Xuan De Hou, I have to say this in advance. If the officials prove that we did not harm Shen Yan, it is purely your slander against us. Then our Zhenguo Mansion will not let it go..."

Before he finished speaking, Gao Ni was seen riding a tall horse back home after leaving his post.

When Lady Xuande Hou saw this, she was immediately delighted. She immediately pushed through the crowd and squeezed in front of Gao Ni, shouting:

"Commander Gao, you've come just in time. I'm going to report to the police and sue the Duke of Zhenguo's son Gao Yan for brutally murdering my daughter."

"The body is still in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. I ask the Royal Guards to seek justice for my poor daughter!"

Onlookers:? ? ?

Is the wife of Marquis Xuande crazy?

Gao Ni is the son of the Duke of Zhenguo. How could a son help outsiders to deal with his own family?

Not only the onlookers thought so, even Lin had such a fantasy.

Although Lin and Gao Ni were not on good terms, Gao Ni had been rising for so many years and at most he was cold and indifferent to Lin and her children, but he had never done anything excessive.

Thinking of this, Lin was no longer anxious, but became more and more calm.

Anyway, she was sure that Gao Ni would never side with Lady Xuande Hou.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Fu Yuzheng walked through the crowd and came to Gao Ni, saying seriously:

"My husband, since the wife of Marquis Xuande is so sure that Shen Yan died at the hands of Gao Yan, and the body is still in the mansion, then the Jinyiwei will conduct a thorough investigation. This way, we can give a clear explanation to both parties involved."

After that, Fu Yuzheng pinched Gao Ni's arm calmly.

Gao Ni was such a smart man that he immediately said, "Madam, what you said makes sense. Instead of arguing here, it is better for Jinyiwei to conduct a thorough investigation and convince people with evidence."

After saying that, Gao Ni waved his hand, and a team of Jinyiwei rushed into the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

Lin: ???

How, how could this happen?

Favoring the wife of Marquis Xuande?

Is high nickel crazy?

Her mind was buzzing with thoughts when suddenly, she thought of a possibility - it was difficult for Gao Ni to refuse in front of the crowd, so he put on a show?

In fact, it is just a pretense, and it will not be long before they announce that "it is all a misunderstanding"?

It’s like this, it must be like this!

Moreover, she had already told her confidant to hide Shen Yan's body in a secret underground passage, where the Jinyiwei would definitely not be able to find it.

With double insurance, Lin soon looked calm again.

Not afraid at all.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Qingchuan ran out with a big knife and reported to Gao Ni:

"Master, we have thoroughly investigated and found Shen Yan's body. There are witnesses who prove that she was tortured to death by Gao Yan himself. The weapon used was exactly this big knife."

Lin: ???

Are Gao Ni's men mentally ill? Why didn't they hide the truth and even announced it in front of the onlookers?

Lin froze to the ground.

Lady Xuan Dehou was extremely happy, but of course, no matter how happy she was, she couldn't laugh out loud in front of everyone, right?

She disguised herself as a mother who felt sorry for her daughter, stepped forward, grabbed Lin's collar, and cried, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, so sorry for what I have done."

"Gao Yan really did kill Shen Yan! My Yan'er, give me back my Yan'er, give me back my Yan'er..."

The wife of Marquis Xuan De was a good actress. She cried, yelled, hit and made a fuss at Lin!

The scene was extremely lively for a while!

At this time, Gao Ni spoke up: "Now that the body has been found, and there are witnesses and evidence, what are we waiting for? Qingchuan, arrest Gao Yan and hand him over to the Ministry of Justice."

Qingchuan took the order and immediately led his men into Qiushuang Courtyard, arrested Gao Yan, who was lying on the bed with dull eyes, and prepared to escort him to the Ministry of Justice.

"My son, my son...you can't take him away, you can't..."

Lin forcefully pushed away the wife of Marquis Xuande who was pestering her, rushed forward and hugged Gao Yan's waist, crying and shouting, refusing to let go.

While the commotion was going on, the Duke of Zhenguo (Gao Yan's father) rushed back from the Fahua Temple in a carriage.

Gao Ni glanced at the Duke of Zhenguo, then took Fu Yuzheng's hand and walked into the gate, ready to return to his own Linfeng Courtyard, unwilling to argue with them.

When the Duke of Zhenguo saw that the Embroidered Uniform Guards were escorting Gao Yan to the Ministry of Justice, he immediately took a few quick steps to stop Gao Ni, wanting to say something.

But Gao Ni said coldly: "Killing someone means paying with one's life, which is only natural. But this murder case is not something that I, the Jinyiwei, will intervene in. The Ministry of Justice will be fully responsible for it."

The Duke of Zhenguo was choked for a moment.

"What murder? What about life for life?" A loud voice suddenly came from the gate.

Everyone looked and saw Mrs. Gao coming out with a cane.

"Grandma." Gao Ni respected Old Madam Gao and quickly went to greet her with Fu Yuzheng.

Madam Gao smiled at Gao Ni, then patted Gao Ni's hand and said:

"Grandson, are you back? You've been busy in the Royal Guards all day and you must be tired. Go in and have a rest early. I, an old woman, will take care of the mess here. You don't need to worry about it."

What she meant was that she didn't want high nickel content to be involved.

Gao Ni smiled, bowed and said goodbye politely, then took Fu Yuzheng's hand and disappeared behind the screen wall.

Fu Yuzheng: ...

No way, there is such a lively scene but I don’t watch it? I feel like I’ve lost a mountain of gold!

Gao Ni knew his wife very well, and immediately laughed softly: "Why, haven't you seen enough?"

Fu Yuzheng rubbed her face against his shoulder like a spoiled child, as a silent response.

"It's easy, follow me."

After saying that, Gao Ni hugged the young wife's slender waist, jumped over the wall, and secretly returned to the alley again.

Madam Gao made a "silence" gesture to the crowd, and then she said loudly in a steady and powerful voice:

"What murder? What murder for a life? It doesn't exist at all."

"Neighbors, I have a question for you. My grandson's new wife is not faithful to her husband. She had an affair with another man before marriage and married him pregnant with a bastard."
