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

Roman was curious and a little indignant, "Princess, why did you buy them? Even if these people entered our Qinglan Courtyard, they would not be truly loyal to you. It is better to let them fend for themselves."

Yizhu was carrying her wedding dress in and pulled Luoman over, "Go pick out a headdress for me and don't disturb the princess here."

Luo Man staggered when Yi Zhu pulled him. "Hey, why are you pulling me? Just go, don't pull me."

In the evening, Hong Shuang came back and whispered in Li Shuang Wan's ear: "Princess, I found out that the servants in Zhilan Courtyard were sold by Second Young Master Li at the request of Second Madam. Moreover, all the servants were given mute drugs before they were taken out of the Duke's Mansion."

Li Shuangwan was shocked: "Were they all given mute drugs?"

This shows more and more that there is a problem. There are not many literate people in the second courtyard, and as long as they can't speak, no one knows what they do.

Hong Shuang's face was very ugly, with anger in her eyes. She nodded and said, "Not only that, the two aunts who served the Second Madam knew a few words, but their tendons were cut. Make sure they can't speak or write."

She believed that Li Yuanming wanted to kill the two men, but it was not easy to do it in the Duke's Mansion, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

The coldness in Li Shuangwan's eyes became more and more intense. How vicious was Xu!

Once these two people are expelled from the house, they can only wait for death.

No one would buy two useless people back home.

The reason why the two were taken away by the hired gunmen was probably because they were given benefits so that they would secretly deal with the two after they left.

After all, he was an old man who had served her for more than ten years, and he could be so cruel to her.

It seems that Roman didn't see everything.

Hong Shuang's eyes were full of sarcasm. She said, "However, Princess, don't worry. Lord Lin has already taken the two back. The palace doctor of the Gu Mansion immediately gave them the antidote. Fortunately, the mute drug was just taken not long ago. After two days of recuperation, they can speak again."

Li Shuangwan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just that," Hong Shuang sighed softly, "Although the tendons of the hand have been reconnected, it is unlikely to recover to its original state."

If Miss Luo were here, there would still be a possibility.

"Did you find out the reason?"

Hong Shuang nodded: "Yes, Ling Heng asked Yi Qing to investigate the matter of Li Shuangzhi and Li Shuangmiao. It should be because of this matter that the second young master Li asked the second lady to give all the servants in her courtyard a mute drug and sell them off."

After hearing this, Li Shuangwan understood immediately.

A few days ago, she asked Hongshuang to give Aunt Tong a minor illness. Li Shuangxi knelt in Zhilan Courtyard and begged Xu to go out and buy medicine. The servants around Xu witnessed this.

It seems that Li Yuanming must have known that what happened in Xingshui Hutong was closely related to Li Shuangxi.

Is he doing this to help Li Shuangxi?

Li Shuangwan immediately rejected this idea.

Everyone in the second house is extremely selfish, except for Li Yuanming, Li Shuangxi's survival can bring greater benefits to him and the second house.

Otherwise, he would never have taken the risk of offending Ling Heng to help Li Shuangxi.

Hong Shuang continued, "Princess, our people also found out that Mr. Li went to the Lu Mansion yesterday afternoon."

Li Shuangwan's heart paused. How could she forget such an important thing!

Yes, on the day of Madam Zhong’s 60th birthday, Xu brought Li Shuangxi to the banquet just to show her to Lu Ziqi.

Lu Ziqi is a member of the Fifth Prince Ling Yan's party.

Seeing that Ling Heng didn't bring them any substantial benefits, the second branch of their family wanted to use nepotism to get on Ling Yan's bandwagon.

I originally thought that Li Yuanming had boarded Ling Heng's boat and would no longer have any entanglement with Lu Ziqi.

After all, if Ling Heng found out, with his strong suspicion, he would never allow them to have a second room.

It seems that Li Yuanming is also gambling.

It’s a pity that people who play two games at the same time never have a good ending.

As it happens, she won't let them have their way.

Li Shuangwan smiled coldly and whispered in Hongshuang's ear: "Didn't Ling Heng ask Yi Qing to investigate the matter in Xingshui Hutong? Tell Lord Lin to send the two maids to Yi Qing when their voices have recovered and they can speak."

"Remember, let them know what they are saying, don't exaggerate, and don't make up stories."

Hong Shuang naturally understood what Li Shuangwan meant: "Yes."

These two maids served Xu for more than ten years. Even if they had no merit, they worked hard, but in the end they ended up like this.

He must hate them.

The princess didn't need to say anything more, as they naturally couldn't hide the truth for the second house anymore.

Li Shuangwan said to Hongshuang again, "Since Zhilan Court has sold all its original servants, that's perfect. You can arrange for a few smart ones to be sent to the traffickers and sent to Zhilan Court."

Hong Shuang nodded: "Yes, I know what to do."

"Ah."

Yizhu came over again at this time.

Li Shuangwan noticed that her face looked a little strange and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Princess, the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace, Cai Zhong, is here."

Li Shuangwan frowned slightly. The "Crown Princess" was still in the funeral period. Ling Heng sent Cai Zhong here at this time. His purpose was definitely not simple.

Then I heard Yi Zhu say, "They brought quite a lot of gifts from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, with great fanfare, and dozens of eunuchs carried them all the way from Suzaku Street. From what I saw, most of them were fabrics and jewelry."

Hong Shuang sneered: "It seems that the prince wants everyone in Shengjing City to know how well he treats the Crown Princess's mother's family."

Yizhu shook his head: "That's not right. There seem to be a lot of things, but the materials are all outdated. Even the jewelry is just ordinary gold and silver."

This is somewhat intriguing.

Li Shuangwan looked at Hongshuang.

Hong Shuang nodded: "I understand."

Yizhu naturally understood: "Sister Hongshuang, be careful and wait until it's completely dark before going. I think the Second Young Master is becoming more and more confusing."

Luo Man came over and asked, "When it's completely dark, what is Sister Hong Shuang going to do?"

Hong Shuang glanced at Roman and asked, "Have you had enough of the two hours of horse stance today?"

Roman pouted and looked at Li Shuangwan sadly: "Princess..."

Li Shuangwan chuckled: "Okay, Hongshuang asked you to do horse stance, so go ahead."

Luo Man sighed helplessly. She found that the gap between herself and Hong Shuang and Yi Zhu was getting bigger and bigger.

With just one look from the princess, they could understand what it meant.

But sometimes, even if the princess explained it clearly, she still couldn't understand.

That night, Hongshuang climbed into the storeroom of the second room and after checking, she came out in less than a quarter of an hour.

Gu Xingyan just left. He came to tell Li Shuangwan that in five days at most, Yang Luo and Gu Xinglang would arrive in Shengjing.

Moreover, the Daliang delegation had already been in Shengjing for a month. According to regulations, a delegation from a visiting country could only stay for one to one and a half months at most. If they stayed any longer, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

But Gu Xingyan couldn't really leave like this.

If he leaves, he will definitely marry Yanyan back with full legal rights.
