After the marriage, the disabled war king was spoiled by me

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Don't worry, Qiao Zhiyu. I will find a way to make Lord Lin willing to help Qiao Fei."

Qiao Zhiyu looked at Du Yunsheng, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes: "Princess, thank you."

Du Yunsheng shook his head slightly and was about to say something when suddenly, footsteps were heard in the prison. A jailer walked in with a letter in his hand.

"Princess, this is your letter." said the jailer.

Du Yunsheng took the letter, opened it, and her face instantly became solemn. She handed the letter to Qiao Zhiyu: "Qiao Zhiyu, take a look."

Qiao Zhiyu took the letter, took a look at it, and his expression became solemn.

"What does the letter say?" Li Mubai asked.

Du Yunsheng said in a deep voice: "The letter said that someone was secretly manipulating the imperial examination and trying to make Qiao Fei fail."

A trace of anger flashed in Qiao Zhiyu's eyes. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Princess, we must find a way to stop them."

Du Yunsheng nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Qiao Zhiyu, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to help Qiao Fei pass the imperial examination smoothly. But we can't make this matter public, we must investigate it secretly."

Qiao Zhiyu and Li Mubai both nodded slightly, and the three of them immediately began to discuss countermeasures.

……

Du Yunsheng stared at Qiao Zhiyu, and his expression instantly turned ugly.

"So, my mother was poisoned by you, the Qiao family?"

Du Yunsheng's words echoed in the dim prison. Qiao Zhiyu's eyes froze for a moment. He seemed to have not expected Du Yunsheng to suddenly ask such a sharp question. His expression became complicated, with surprise and unspeakable guilt.

"Yun Sheng, you misunderstood." Qiao Zhiyu said in a deep voice. There was a trace of struggle in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. "The Qiao family did participate in what happened back then, but that was not my wish."

Du Yunsheng's face was still gloomy, and her eyes flashed with anger, as if she wanted to see through Qiao Zhiyu: "Who is that? Could it be the elders of your Qiao family?"

Qiao Zhiyu took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Back then, it was my father who planned the conspiracy. He did whatever it took for the benefit of the family. I was still young at the time and knew nothing about it. It was not until later that I discovered the truth."

Du Yunsheng sneered: "The truth? Qiao Zhiyu, do you think that telling the truth can clear your guilt? Your Qiao family has an unshirkable responsibility for my mother's death!"

Qiao Zhiyu's face turned pale. He lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head: "Yun Sheng, I know that no matter what I say, it can't make up for the pain you have suffered. But I am willing to use my life to pay for this sin."

Du Yunsheng's eyes flickered with a wave, but she quickly regained her composure: "Do you think your repayment can make me forget my mother's death? Qiao Zhiyu, you are too naive."

At this time, Li Mubai came over, her eyes full of worry: "Yun Sheng, the matter has passed. The most important thing for us now is to find out the truth and seek justice for your mother."

Du Yunsheng looked at Li Mubai, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Li Mubai, thank you. I know you have been helping me, but I really don't know what to do."

Li Mubai gently held Du Yunsheng's hand: "Yunsheng, you don't have to worry. We will find out the truth together and seek justice for your mother. Qiao Zhiyu, you also heard it. If you really want to atone for your sins, then help us and find the murderer who poisoned you back then."

Qiao Zhiyu nodded, with a firm look in his eyes: "I am willing to do anything as long as I can make up for my guilt."

……

Liu Qing was a servant of the Qiao family who had taken care of Du Yunsheng's mother. Du Yunsheng and Li Mubai decided to meet Liu Qing in person.

At Liu Qing's residence, they saw Liu Qing's old face, her eyes full of fear and regret. Under the questioning of Du Yunsheng and Li Mubai, Liu Qing finally told the truth of the year.

"Back then, it was the eldest lady of the Qiao family who ordered me to poison. She said that only in this way could the Qiao family gain more power." Liu Qing's voice trembled and tears slid down her cheeks.

Du Yunsheng and Li Mubai looked at each other, with a flash of shock in their eyes. Qiao Zhiyu's face was full of pain and guilt.

"Liu Qing, why are you telling us this?" Du Yunsheng asked.

Liu Qing took a deep breath and said, "Because I know that if I am wrong, I am wrong. I cannot let innocent people get hurt again. I am willing to tell the truth and atone for my sins."

At a grand banquet, Du Yunsheng and Li Mubai made Liu Qing's testimony public, which caused a sensation. The eldest lady of the Qiao family was executed on the spot, and the Qiao family lost its former glory.

In the prison, Du Yunsheng looked at Qiao Zhiyu, with a complex emotion in his eyes: "Qiao Zhiyu, although you have made a big mistake, I see your desire to atone for your sins. I hope you can spend the rest of your life to make up for your sins."

Qiao Zhiyu nodded, his eyes full of gratitude and determination: "I will, Yunsheng. I will spend the rest of my life atonement and make up for my sins."

Du Yunsheng was not angry, but continued: "Really? Then continue to talk. How did you get Du Yuwei to cooperate with you, how did you frame the evidence on Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, and how did the Southern Tang Kingdom contact you?"

Seeing that there was no room for maneuver, Qiao Zhiyu could only confess everything.

He took a deep breath and looked at Du Yunsheng with a complicated expression, with an indescribable struggle flashing in his eyes.

"Okay, I confess." Qiao Zhiyu said in a deep voice, "Du Yuwei is my distant cousin, and she originally coveted the power and status of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. I kept telling her about the crimes of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion and made her believe that the demise of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion was in accordance with God's will. She was persuaded by me and agreed to my request to help me collect evidence."

At this point, Qiao Zhiyu paused, looking at Du Yunsheng with deep guilt in his eyes. He continued, "As for the frame-up of the evidence, I used a servant in the Zhenxing Marquisate. He was my spy. I secretly put the forged evidence in his hands and then guided him to hand it over to the government. As for the Southern Tang Kingdom, they actually did not contact me directly. I took the initiative to find them and wanted to use their power to deal with the Zhenxing Marquisate."

After Qiao Zhiyu finished speaking, his face turned pale as paper, as if he had foreseen his own end. However, he still stared at Du Yunsheng closely, trying to find a trace of forgiveness on her face.

Du Yunsheng listened quietly, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She looked at Qiao Zhiyu coldly and said calmly: "You are really thoughtful and ruthless. But do you think you can destroy the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion in this way?"

Qiao Zhiyu gritted his teeth and did not answer.

Du Yunsheng continued, "You may not know that the foundation of the Zhenxing Marquisate is profound and not as easy to shake as you think. Do you think that with your little tricks, you can destroy the reputation of the Zhenxing Marquisate and completely destroy it?"
