After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

Song Mingli thanked the Yulin soldier and was supported by Zisu and returned to his courtyard.

Zi Su looked at her face, worried that she was devastated, but when she saw her like this, she was stunned.

"Miss, you seem quite happy?"

Song Mingli was in her own boudoir, surrounded by her own people, and couldn't help but smile, "Of course I'm happy! I'm going to get back the money I've spent on subsidizing the Gu family for seven years, how can I not be happy?"

"Ah?" Zi Su was stunned. She had always been in charge of the young lady's accounts. In the past seven years, the young lady had given a lot of money to the Gu family.

Zi Su knew the current situation of the Gu family. "How can they afford to pay back the young lady?"

The Marquis' Mansion is just a false structure, it only looks good on the surface!

Moreover, all the superficial glamour over the years was made up by the young lady!

Song Mingli snorted and laughed, "Now that the incident has reached Jingzhao Prefecture, how can the Gu family not speak up a little?"

Since her rebirth, she has been sorting out the account books herself. In her previous life, she pushed all her private property to Zi Su.

She devoted herself to the management of the Gu family, expanding their business, managing the farm, and finding ways to make the Gu family's shop profitable again, and replacing those dishonest shopkeepers.

In this life? Oh, of course she should focus on her own private property.

As for the Gu family...it's already rotten from the root, so let it rot faster.

"Before Miss came back, she brought back the jewelry, cash, and land deeds. Did she prepare for what happened today?" Zi Su asked.

After asking, she felt that it was impossible, unless the young lady could predict the future.

Song Mingli smiled and said, "How could I know so much? I just wanted to count how much stuff I have left. Who would have thought that I would hit the jackpot by accident."

Of course she had to prepare in advance. Would she be able to let Gu Qingshan get away with it by living her life again?

After receiving the report, Jingzhao Prefecture would not have acted so quickly.

But upon closer inspection, it turned out that the people who came to report the case were Yulin soldiers in plain clothes.

The Yulin Army showed their badges, and Jingzhao Prefecture did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed to the scene at the fastest speed in history.

They came too quickly, and Gu Qingshan was directing the servants to carry out those expensive items!

"Be careful! It's made of rosewood, don't break it!"

"Put everything down! No one is allowed to move!" The Jingzhao Prefecture's police officer shouted, "Jingzhao Prefecture received a report that someone broke the door lock and stole a woman's dowry and private property!"

They arrived just in time, and Gu Qingshan didn't even have time to clean up the scene.

The broken lock was still lying on the ground.

The beaten maids had swollen slap marks on their faces and shoe prints on their bodies. They were hugging each other and crying.

The officials of Jingzhao Prefecture could not help but twitch their lips when they saw the maids being caught red-handed and in such miserable plight.

"Please come with us, Prince!" the officer said coldly.

Gu Qingshan felt numb from head to toe, he shouted angrily, “Nonsense! This is our family affair! Who reported it to the police? Who stole it? This is my Gu family! The key is lost, what’s wrong with me breaking the lock to get something?”

The officer's face twitched. The prince looked so dignified, so why did he speak so...shamelessly?

"Come here, the reporter, speak!" The officer asked Madam Zhou to step forward. "Don't be afraid. If he hits you, it would be an obstruction of public service."

Madam Zhou lowered her head and said, "This is the courtyard where my young lady lives alone. That storehouse is where my young lady keeps her dowry. The key has always been kept by this old servant. The young master took advantage of my young lady's stay at her parents' home to break the lock and forcibly take my young lady's dowry. The maids tried to stop him and were all beaten!"

The officer looked at Gu Qingshan, "Let's go, Prince, if you have anything to say, go back to the yamen and say it! You are the prince, a noble man, and we are rough people. If you ask us to take action, I'm afraid you will suffer."

Gu Qingshan listened to these mocking and even threatening words, his face turned dark enough to drip ink.

"Hmph!" He flicked his sleeves and glared at Nanny Zhou fiercely.

"Put your things down and take them all away!" The officers arrested the servants who were carrying the things and took them all to Jingzhao Prefecture.

When he heard that it was the Yulin Army who brought people to report the case, the Jingzhao Yin did not dare to slack off.

This case is so simple that it doesn't even need a trial. The facts are clear and obvious.

Beili has a law that after a woman gets married, her dowry belongs to her. If she has children, after her death, her dowry belongs to her children. If she has no children, the remaining dowry will be returned to her parents' home after her death.

"What the prince called 'family affairs' has violated the laws of Beili! It is not something that can be resolved with just a word 'family affairs'." Jingzhao Yin said sternly, "Come on, I will punish you by beating you with ten sticks in court."

Gu Qingshan really didn’t know that Beili had such a law.

He could not have imagined that he, the son of the Marquis of Changning, would be beaten with a stick in court? Where was his dignity?

“I am the eldest son of Marquis Changning!” Gu Qingshan said with a sullen face.

Jingzhao Yin remained calm, but in his heart he thought, the people who came to report the case were the Yulin Army, they were the emperor's personal soldiers! The court was now reviewing officials, so it was a good opportunity for the emperor to see how impartial and just Jingzhao Yin was!

"Beat him!" Jingzhao Yin threw down a warrant.

Gu Qingshan was pressed on the bench, and ten sticks hit his flesh, banging on him, causing him to almost faint from the pain.

The ten strokes of the stick have not yet been completed.

Nanny Zhou came again, "Sir! My young lady's dowry is missing! Something is missing!"

Gu Qing Shan was sweating profusely, "I didn't take anything! Don't slander me!"

Nanny Zhou took out the dowry list, and also the list of daily gifts and receipts from the warehouse.

"Here is the evidence. Your Excellency can order someone to check and compare. I dare not lie. I really lost something!" Nanny Zhou cried.

Jingzhao Yin and his chief clerk exchanged a glance and finally issued an order, "The son of the Marquis of Changning will be imprisoned until the case is fully investigated before making any further decisions."

……

It was not until the evening that Sun heard that the eldest son was originally asked to find money to save the younger son.

But who would have thought that the money was not obtained, the younger son was not rescued, and the older son went in first!

She creaked and was about to faint.

Madam Zhao quickly pinched her philtrum and shook her vigorously, "Madam, Madam, please don't faint! Everyone in the mansion is counting on you!"

Sun was angry and anxious, "I...what can I do?"

"Should we ask someone to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to find out what to do about this case?" Nanny Zhao suggested.

Upon hearing this, Sun thought about it and immediately ordered the smart servant in her house to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to inquire.

The chief clerk of Jingzhao Prefecture was very good at accounting. He checked the accounts overnight and quickly found the problems in the accounts.

"Master, this mansion is really interesting. Not only does it not have much wealth, but it also has a medicine jar at home. Yet it still maintains its extravagant lifestyle and keeps a large group of servants..." The chief clerk stroked his beard disdainfully, "Where does the money come from? It actually sucks blood from the daughter-in-law! No wonder Madam Zhou said that things are lost, but they are not 'lost'! It's hard to guard against thieves in the house."

Jingzhao Yin snorted, "How can this be called a thief? This is a robber."

"Master, the Marquis of Changning's mansion has sent someone to inquire about the case," the Jingzhao Yin's servant came in and reported, "asking when his son can return home."
