The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

Wei Yu walked over and grabbed Shangguan Haitong's arm, with a sad look in his eyes: "Miss Shangguan, don't say anything."

The conversation was repeated yesterday. The Duke's wife covered her lips and sobbed, saying that they had failed to protect their daughter.

Wei Jingyan said anxiously: "Grandfather, grandmother, please calm down, Miss Shangguan did not mean to touch the scar."

the other side.

Li Zongyun led his men to approach the house from the back door: "Take away everything you can take away after entering, and kill those you can't take away, understand?"

Before leaving the court, the emperor sent a message to Li Shihang to the palace. He knew something was wrong and rushed to destroy the evidence.

But the things inside were difficult to deal with, and the guards arrived faster than expected.

There is also a secret door leading to the house, through which they can enter quietly and destroy the evidence.

The servants received the order.

Li Zongyun carefully led his men to the secret door and entered the house through the secret passage.

The exit of the house is behind the rockery and is not easy to detect.

Li Zongyun ordered: "You go this way, I will take people over there. Move quietly so as not to be discovered."

"Yes." Everyone went their separate ways. As long as there was no evidence, even if the emperor knew about this, he would only be punished lightly.

Yong'an Houfu.

Li Sirong stood up in surprise: "What did you say? Which house did my brother go to?"

Shu Yun nodded: "He brought quite a few people with him. The Imperial Guards have arrested several groups of people outside. The young master should want to destroy the evidence."

Li Sirong snorted coldly, her eyes full of resentment: "He wants to destroy the evidence, but I won't let him do that. Come closer."

Shuyun came closer and nodded after hearing the plan.

She turned around and did it. Not long after, the people were talking loudly about seeing someone sneaking into the house.

"Is there anything valuable in there? The officials are surrounding it outside and trying to get in."

"Who knows about the houses where rich people live."

The guards were startled and immediately pushed the door open. Upon hearing the sound, Li Zongyun immediately ordered a retreat.

But the leading guards rushed in with their men very quickly, and the two groups collided head-on.

"Lord Li, just surrender. Don't make things difficult for me." The leading guard drew his sword.

Li Zongyun rushed forward without any further ado.

The two sides fought together.

Protector's Mansion.

Even though Shangguan Haitong was stopped, she continued to persuade him: "It is never too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost. Your Excellency, your daughter has passed away, but her experience is a bloody lesson. Your Excellency still has a little daughter and a granddaughter."

"If you don't act today, won't you regret it if another accident happens? We can't expect bad guys to stop killing, and we can't predict which will come first, an accident or tomorrow. All we can do is to minimize the pain of the victims and keep them alive."

Wei Yuyou choked up and said, "Ms. Shangguan, we really can't help you. Please go back."

The atmosphere froze.

Shangguan Haitong stood up slowly: "Not being able to help and not helping are two different things. My two gentlemen, you are not married yet and you don't understand the pain. When you have children in the future, your beloved daughter will encounter misfortune. What will you do then?"

"I am furious and I am going to the palace to see the emperor. Even if the criminal is punished, can the victim's heart be healed? Can you lock her up at home for the rest of her life, without letting her listen to the criticisms of outsiders and fear all the consequences of this incident? Can she bear it?"

The Duke's wife cried even more sadly. After the accident, they had been taking good care of their daughter.

Who would have thought that the gossip outside would be heard by my daughter.

The daughter forced a smile and tried to comfort them instead.

They thought their daughter was strong enough and could move on.

But none of them is a daughter, so how can they understand the pain in her heart?

He was in agony and heartbroken. His family was humiliated because of what happened to them.

The daughter finally fulfilled the wishes of those people outside and left with a clear name and chastity.

By the time they realized it, it was too late.

Even crying can't bring back my beloved daughter's life...

The Duke of the Guard had a gloomy face and clenched his fists. He was also restless inside, because who could understand the pain of losing a daughter?

Wei Yuyou closed his eyes in grief: "Miss Shangguan, please let's go."

Shangguan Haitong looked directly at the Protector of the Country: "I will not leave. You can kick me out if you want. I started this matter, so I will fight for those women to the end. Maybe my power is weak, just like an ant trying to shake a tree. But I will do it, I must do it."

Everyone looked over in surprise.

The Protector of the Country looked at the woman in front of him carefully: "You said you were the one who started this?"

"That's right." Shangguan Haitong said calmly. Since he couldn't appeal to their emotions, why not try to tempt them with benefits?

Wei Yuyou was shocked: "Ms. Shangguan, do you know what you are talking about? This matter..."

The source of the tragedy was a family massacre. How could the situation now be controlled by human power?

Shangguan Haitong smiled confidently: "There are only three coincidences in the world. When all the coincidences come together, it must be premeditated."

Her plan.

Weaken the enemy's power and strengthen your own.

Wei Yuyou couldn't believe it: "If this is all a setup, how could you accomplish it by yourself?"

Shangguan Haitong replied: "Of course it's not just one person. I'll make the plans and there will be capable people to do the work. Your Excellency, the Duke, don't you want the power in the court to change? Is your Excellency, the Duke, really willing to let go of this great opportunity?"

The two young masters looked at their grandfather hesitantly. The Wei family was originally neutral, so it was not advisable to take any risks.

The Duke of the Protectorate finally spoke: "I wonder who Miss Shangguan is interested in? The Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince are all involved in this incident, it seems it is not them. My two grandsons wanted to meet with Prince Ling Zhao in the teahouse to listen to music, but they were told that the prince had already entered the palace."

Shangguan Haitong smiled: "If the prince does not enter the palace, how can he add fuel to the fire? Although the crown prince, the third prince and the fourth prince cannot be touched at present. But this incident will definitely bring down Jingzhao Yin, Zuo Fengyi and Yong'an Marquis Mansion. The lucrative position is vacant, does the Duke have any ideas?"

It's impossible not to have ideas.

The Duke of the Protectorate was moved: "Even if the prince and I come forward, it is still hard to say whether it can be accomplished."

Shangguan Haitong has a back-up plan: "What about the eldest princess? She speaks for women, and it's justified."

Everyone knows that the princess married the prince consort against her will and they had no children after the marriage.

The prince consort could not stand the pressure and took a concubine with the emperor's approval. The eldest princess was furious and separated from the prince consort after a quarrel.

They still haven't seen each other to this day, and their marriage is only in name only.

The emperor had to marry the princess in order to win over the power behind the prince consort, and he always felt guilty about it.

In recent years, the eldest princess has been able to act like a big shot.

Once she shows up, things are very likely to succeed.

The Duke of Huguo pondered, if the positions of Jingzhao Yin and Zuo Fengyi were replaced by his own people...

Wei Yuyou has always felt sorry for Shangguan Haitong, a weak woman who was bullied by the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Now it seems that women are women, but they are not necessarily weak.

He had a feeling of being controlled, as if all his reactions were within Miss Shangguan's expectations.

The Duke of the Protectorate stood up and asked solemnly, "It is difficult for the Emperor to make up his mind about who to choose. Can you guarantee that the person who will take the throne will be what I wish?"

"I'm 100% sure." Shangguan Haitong's eyes were serious and her attitude was extremely confident.

At this moment, she shed her fragile outer shell that concealed her true colors, revealing her decisiveness and dazzling brilliance.
