Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

His flustered heart slowly calmed down, and he kowtowed, "Yes, Your Highness, it was the Third Lady's maid Qiao'er who was sneaking around with a jade pendant and was discovered by the Crown Princess."

Yi Qing spoke more and more clearly. In just a quarter of an hour, he described everything that happened in the General's Mansion in a clear, organized and concise manner.

After listening to Yi Qing's words, Ling Heng couldn't help but look at this maid with admiration.

Very few servants can do this.

"Keep your head up."

Yi Qing slowly raised her head. Having been kneeling for a whole day and night, her face was pale and her eyes were slightly red. She looked so pitiful and lovely.

Ling Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

If it were in the past, he wouldn't need to ask about this kind of thing, as Sipo would have investigated it all for him.

But since his death, he has no capable assistant around him.

This Yi Qing is quite good.

She tried hard to persuade Li Shuangmiao yesterday and successfully extricated herself from the matter.

Looks like a smart one.

"I'll give you ten days to investigate this matter thoroughly." Ling Heng said and stood up.

Yi Qing understood what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant.

"Yes, I will give His Royal Highness a satisfactory answer in ten days."

Ling Heng stood still without turning around, and said in a cold voice: "After ten days, if you cannot give me a satisfactory answer, then you will be buried with the Crown Princess like those people."

At this moment, Yi Qing was not afraid at all. He put his forehead against the back of his hand and responded respectfully.

……

The next evening, Gu Xingyan climbed in through the window again.

Li Shuangwan had gotten used to this man coming in through the main gate early in the morning, eating the snacks made by Chen Rong, and watching his brother being abused by her openly.

At night, he climbed over the wall.

He seems to have nothing to do in Northern Jin.

Li Shuangwan had just finished bathing, her long black hair was still dripping with water. Hongshuang was holding a handkerchief in her hand, wanting to twist Li Shuangwan's hair.

Seeing Gu Xingyan coming in, Hong Shuang consciously handed the handkerchief to Gu Xingyan, then went out and closed the door.

Luo Man outside the door was surprised when he saw this and asked, "Sister Hong Shuang, why aren't you serving the princess inside?"

"Well, it's okay, Princess. She can do it alone."

"How can this be done? Even though it is midsummer, you still need to wring your hair out immediately after bathing. Otherwise, if you fall asleep, you will be prone to migraines when you get older."

As he was about to push the door, Hongshuang grabbed his arm and pulled him away.

"Oh, you..."

"Horse stance for half an hour!"

"No, I, you..."

"The princess said that she would leave you to me and that you would have to learn martial arts from today on."

"Not tomorrow?"

"Now, squat."

Roman: “…”

She always felt something was wrong, but she had no evidence.

Inside the house, Gu Xingyan had a smile in his eyes.

Li Shuangwan looked at this distinguished man in the mirror. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes but holding a handkerchief inappropriately in his hand. She couldn't help but laugh.

But before she could stand up, Gu Xingyan embraced her from behind.

Li Shuangwan patted him gently: "My hair is still wet, don't get your clothes wet."

"Don't talk, let me hold you for a while."

Li Shuangwan was speechless. They had just met during the day, so how could...

This man is too clingy.

"I'm going to propose to my uncle and aunt right now!" Gu Xingyan pretended to open the door and go out.

He couldn't wait even a moment longer.

Li Shuangwan pulled her back with a smile, blushing as she whispered, "Look how anxious you are. Li Shuangmiao just died, this is not the right time."

Gu Xingyan smiled bitterly. How could she not know how much he was suffering?

But, alas, he now believes the saying that good things come to those who wait.

Enduring the unspeakable feeling, Gu Xingyan took out the bracelet that Li Shuangwan had given her two days ago from her arms.

"Guess what good stuff the old lady added to the jade bracelet?"

Li Shuangwan looked at the bracelet wrapped in cloth by Gu Xingyan, and then looked at his cold expression, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

You will know that it is definitely not a good thing.

He sneered, "Could it be poison? The old lady wants to poison me to death?"

Li Shuangwan was about to take it, but Gu Xingyan raised his hand and took it a little further away: "Yanyan, don't touch it."

"Is it really poisonous?"

"It's not poison, but it's not much better. This bracelet has been soaked in musk for a full 180 days."

"If a woman wears it for a long time, at best, it will be difficult for her to get pregnant. At worst, even if she does get pregnant, the baby will either be deformed or stillborn."

Li Shuangwan's face turned pale. The old lady of the Zhuang family had such a vicious mind.

No wonder Li Shuangmiao wanted to snatch it that day. She looked a little unnatural.

She was probably afraid that something might happen to the fetus in Li Shuangmiao's belly.

Poisoning the emperor's grandson is no small crime.

The priceless jade bracelet with lotus pattern can actually be a life-threatening thing.

It matches the old lady's appearance perfectly, as she is holding a Buddhist string of beads but has a heart as vicious as a snake.

"One hundred and eighty days?"

Gu Xingyan nodded: "This thing is quite old, and the musk poison has penetrated into the texture of the jade bracelet. And because it has been sealed in a box without ventilation for many years, the poison of the musk has increased instead of decreased."

Gu Xingyan held the jade bracelet to the candlelight. The emerald inside was crystal clear and the jade was smooth.

"Who do you think the old lady wanted to deal with with this bracelet in the first place?"

Li Shuangwan almost blurted out: "My grandmother? So, my grandmother died not long after giving birth to my father. Is this the reason?"

Gu Xingyan shook his head: "Although this jade bracelet is a bit old, it is less than forty years old. The person Lin Musen found said that it is about ten years old."

Li Shuangwan’s grandmother has been dead for forty-two years.

So, my grandmother did not die because of this jade bracelet.

"Who is she going to use this thing against?"

Gu Xingyan's expression was cold: "It is very likely that the person she wanted to deal with from the beginning was you. Or rather, Li Shuangwan."

Li Shuangwan's eyes were filled with hatred. Why did this vicious old woman do this?

Why must they harm their eldest wife?

Although her father was not her biological son, he was more filial to her than Li Huaiyi, her biological son.

Gu Xingyan took out a jade bracelet wrapped in cloth from his arms and lifted Li Shuangwan's glove to put it on.

Li Shuangwan was surprised: "Xingyan, this is..."

"This jade bracelet is exactly the same as the other one. You wear it first. I asked Lin Musen to find someone to make it. Before the people sent to Xixiang City come back, we need to stabilize the old lady first."

Li Shuangwan nodded. "Okay."

Gu Xingyan took out a pile of things from his arms like a magic trick and handed it over.

Li Shuangwan took it curiously and asked, "What is that? Why is there such a large pile?"

Gu Xingyan looked like he was asking for praise: "Open it and take a look."

Li Shuangwan spread it out and took a look, his eyes immediately lit up.

The house deeds and land deeds of the ten Yanxueges, as well as the old house of the Xu family, the shops and farms under the name of the Xu family!

"Xingyan, have you bought the entire Xu family?"
