Bai Hongxian sneered complacently, and walked up to Andy Hui with his hands behind his back: "If you had confessed your guilt and signed the pledge earlier, wouldn't you have to suffer this physical pain?"

With the whip on his body, Xu Zhian had completely figured it out. The prince wanted to protect the wife of Marquis Yongning and make the ministers who followed him more loyal to him.

Therefore, he, the chess piece in the dark, was abandoned and attracted the poisonous bees, and he had to admit the crime even if he didn't want to.

"Come on, Xu Zhian sold poisonous powder, which attracted poisonous bees, causing Mrs. Lu Shangshu to be stung and seriously injured. He confessed to this. Liu is acquitted!"

After coming out of the prison, Bai Hongxian went straight to the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

He handed the thing in his hand to Ling Yan: "Fifth Prince, the Crown Prince really sent a generous gift to me early in the morning, asking me to pin the crime on Xu Zhian."

Ling Yan glanced at the thick stack of banknotes in Bai Hongxian's hand and chuckled, "Since it's given to you, just take it."

He knew that in order to win people's hearts, Ling Heng would definitely rescue Liu.

It’s a pity that Liu will be of great help to him after returning.

He also knew that it was impossible to overthrow the prince with just a woman.

……

At the hour of Hai, Gu Xingyan was ready to appear in Qinglan Courtyard.

The door creaked open, and Li Shuangwan handed over the handkerchief without even turning his head.

Gu Xingyan took it naturally and twisted her hair for her.

Li Shuangwan looked in the mirror at the man who was carefully twisting her hair and asked, "Are the people sent to Xixiang City arriving soon?"

Gu Xingyan nodded: "Yes, I came here to tell you about this. They arrived yesterday, but it's been so long, it's not easy to find out."

Li Shuangwan turned around.

Gu Xingyan pulled a chair over and sat opposite her: "What's wrong?"

Li Shuangwan frowned and thought for a while: "Xingyan, help me analyze it."

"What's wrong? What's going on? So serious?"

"When my grandfather passed away, I was already ten years old and could remember everything. But in my memory, the relationship between the old lady and my grandfather was not very good. In fact, every time my grandfather returned to Shengjing, he rarely went to the old lady's room."

Gu Xingyan reached out and gently smoothed her frown with his fingertips: "Are you saying that your grandfather and the old lady don't have much affection for each other?"

Li Shuangwan nodded: "It's possible that they treated each other with respect, but it's impossible that they were deeply in love. Why couldn't she even stay in Shengjing after my grandfather died? Besides, my grandfather guarded the northwest border for decades, and he didn't spend much time in Shengjing."

She had never doubted that the old lady could not stay in Shengjing.

But now thinking about it again, there seemed to be something she hadn't figured out.

What is it?

Gu Xingyan put his arm around the girl's shoulders and said, "Okay, don't worry about this. Leave it to me. I'll send a letter to the people in Xixiang City and ask them to investigate this matter as well."

Li Shuangwan leaned into Gu Xingyan's arms.

Gu Xingyan gently kissed her on the top of her head: "I came here today to tell you something else."

"what?"

"Liu was released."

Li Shuangwan stood up from Gu Xingyan's arms: "So fast? How did Ling Heng do it?"

"Put everything on Andy Hui."

Li Shuangwan understood after just a little thought that Liu must be rescued, and that person must be rescued in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, those ministers who follow him will be disheartened.

Not only that, their wives will also advise them.

After all, pillow wind is the strongest wind in the world.

As for Andy Hui, since he has already chosen to give up, he might as well take advantage of it.

"Yan Yan, what do you think? As long as you tell me, I can immediately throw Liu into jail again."

Li Shuangwan shook his head: "No, I want to keep Liu and let Luo Luo clean up."

……

Early the next morning.

Today, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is fully populated.

Everyone came to pay their respects to the old lady.

The old lady seemed to be in much better shape than the first day she came.

At this moment, she was wearing a dark purple jacket with a peony pattern, with delicate gold thread embroidered on the lapels and cuffs, and was sitting on a mahogany chair in the main seat.

His right hand was gently rolling a string of whisk beads, his left hand was leaning on a small square table made of golden nanmu wood beside him, and there was even a kind smile on his face.

Behind her was a maid holding a fan, fanning her gently.

There is also a dragon head cane placed on the side and back of the chair.

Li Shuangwan looked around, but didn't see anyone who brought this thing.

The woman named Fang Yuqian!

Fang Yuqian, she was my good sister-in-law in my previous life.

She used such despicable means to force her brother to marry her.

Ever since she entered the General's Mansion, she has made the entire mansion a mess, with everyone in the mansion in unrest.

In the end, the brother committed suicide.

My mother died of depression, all because of her.

"Greetings to mother."

"Greetings to grandma."

Everyone saluted to the old lady.

Today, the old lady changed her cold and stern attitude from the past few days. She had a kind smile on her face and raised her hand towards everyone.

"Everyone, please stand up. We are all family. There is no need to be polite. Please sit down."

Zhu Anhe looked at her husband in surprise. What was this old woman up to today?

Li Huaiying shook his head gently at her, indicating that she should look down again.

As the old saying goes, there must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Now he no longer trusts the second wife or the old lady at all.

After all these years of filial piety, I have already repaid her for raising me.

Everyone took their seats.

The old lady waved to Li Shuangwan and said with a smile, "Ayan, come here, grandma."

Li Shuangwan stepped forward as he was told. It was just acting.

She said obediently, "Grandma."

"Good boy, I was wrong the other day. I apologize to you. I blame you. When I saw you, I thought of my eldest granddaughter who died tragically. I was too sad and said something blunt. I made you feel wronged. Please don't be offended."

Li Shuangwan sneered in his heart. This old woman is very flexible. When a weasel pays a New Year's visit to a chicken, it always has bad intentions.

Zhu Anhe suspected that she had heard it wrong and looked at her husband beside her.

Li Huaiying also showed a look of surprise, but still shook his head at his wife.

"Grandma, you are the elder, how can an elder apologize to a younger person? I was also wrong that day. Although I said the truth, my words were a bit extreme. I hope you won't blame me."

The old lady had a smile on her face, but she was furious inside. Was her words too extreme?

Tell the truth!

You little bitch!

"Don't blame me, don't blame me. Aunt Cai is right. There is no overnight hatred between us, the grandparents and the grandchildren."

As he spoke, he opened a mahogany box on the table, revealing a jade bracelet.

The fine texture of mutton-fat white jade exudes a warm luster all over.

The bracelet is carved with delicate lotus patterns, and each petal seems to be trembling gently in the breeze, looking lifelike.

Looking more closely, you can see a few tiny emeralds cleverly inlaid between the petals.

Needless to say, the workmanship is exquisite and the value is certainly high.

Li Shuangwan deliberately showed surprise: "Grandma, this bracelet is so beautiful."
