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

As soon as Li Shuangwan jumped off the carriage, Old Madam Zhu eagerly opened her arms and greeted her: "Wanwan, my darling, I miss you so much."

Li Shuangwan's eyes warmed up, and she rushed forward and threw herself into Mrs. Zhu's arms: "Grandma, I miss you every night. Grandma, how are you?"

In the previous life, five years later, my grandfather, who was the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, went out to handle a case. When he came back, it was already midnight. The horse pulling the cart suddenly went mad for unknown reasons and ran away, leaving the driver behind.

Just a moment later, a loud bang was heard, and the horse and the carriage rolled down the cliff.

It happened so fast that even the few followers my grandfather brought with him didn't react.

The next day, all that was found was my grandfather's body, which had been smashed to pieces. It was such a tragedy.

My grandmother couldn't bear the blow and passed away within two days.

After that, after my eldest uncle, who was stationed away from home, returned to Shengjiu, his official career never went smoothly again. Even my second uncle, who was doing business away from home, gradually saw his business go downhill.

My eldest cousin is the most outstanding among all his descendants.

My second cousin, like other children of wealthy families, acted like a dandy young man, hanging out in brothels listening to music and playing with cats and dogs.

My second cousin died in an ignominious way in his previous life.

Died in the belly of a woman in Chunlanyuan.

It was said that he took too much Hehuan Powder and killed himself.

But Li Shuangwan knew very well that his second cousin was just pretending to be a good person and there was not even a common room in the yard.

Before her death, the Zhu family had already fallen into decline.

However, after my grandfather died, the newly promoted Chief Justice of the Dali Temple jumped up and down about my father's case like a clown.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine." Old Madam Zhu wiped the tears from her face.

The old nanny wiped her tears and said, "Cousin... look at me." She slapped herself and said, "Princess Heng, the old lady had a severe headache a quarter of an hour ago, but when she heard that you were here, she was cured immediately."

"Grandma, why do you have a headache again? Have you seen a doctor? What did the doctor say? Yizhu took the box of Ganoderma lucidum off the carriage."

"Oh, okay, princess."

Madam Zhu glared at the old nanny and said, "You are the only one who is talking nonsense. I am fine. It is just an old illness. It comes easily when the weather gets cold. I am old. Wanwan, how come you have lost so much weight?"

Li Shuangwan hugged Madam Zhu's arm and said, "I miss my grandfather and grandmother so much that I lose my appetite and lose weight."

Madam Zhu chuckled and poked her forehead with her finger: "What a clever trick."

"Grandma, please stop standing outside and let my cousin in. It's cold outside."

A voice sounded, Li Shuangwan looked up and saw his eldest cousin Zhu Qingmeng, wearing a blue straight-laced suit, walking out of the house with a smile.

"Big cousin."

"cousin."

Tears flashed in Li Shuangwan's eyes and she quickly lowered her head to hide them.

My eldest cousin is very smart. Not only is he good at studying, he has also learned martial arts. He is truly a man of both civil and military talents. My grandfather has high hopes for him.

My eldest cousin, who just came of age this year, has already become a juren and is only waiting for the spring examination in two years.

But in his previous life, my cousin was thrown out of the Imperial Examination Hall on the second day of the Spring Examination.

The reason was that a cheat sheet was found at the hem of his inner garment in his bag.

The imperial examination fraud deprived my cousin of more than just his status as a juren.

He was unable to prove his innocence no matter what he did, and feeling disheartened, he walked out of Zhu Mansion and Shengjing City late one night.

Never came back.

The Zhu family and his parents sent out countless people to look for him, but to no avail.

Some people say that he became a monk.

Some say he became a street beggar.

Some people also say that he died a long time ago.

Just before the incident at the General's Mansion, Li Shuangwan went out of the palace once and heard two scholars talking about this incident in the next room in a teahouse.

He was framed.

The inner garment in the bundle was not my cousin's at all.

Even the bag was swapped during the body search at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall.

Because the items were exactly the same, my cousin didn't suspect anything.

Li Shuangwan thought about it carefully afterwards. Even if the people who searched at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall were bribed by the mastermind, the things in his cousin's bag could not be exactly the same as the ones that were replaced.

Who knows what's inside?

Only his personal servant.

The servant named Xiaoshun was following behind his cousin with a smile on his face.

"No wonder when I woke up this morning, I saw the plum blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom. Princess Heng, please come in. When the master heard that you were coming, he was so happy that he asked the eldest son to welcome you to the flower hall."

Madam Zhu rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are the only one who talks sweetly. Go and tell that old man that you have to accompany me every night and you don't have time to deal with him."

"Oh my old lady, I dare not say such a thing. Sir, please save me, the master's punishment is very severe."

Zhu Qingmeng slapped him and said, "Why don't you have someone take the delicious food and drinks to the hall?"

"Oh, all right." Xiao Shun ran to the flower hall, shouting as he ran, "Butler, butler, Princess Heng is here. The eldest master asked us to bring all the delicious food and drinks to the flower hall."

Madam Zhu pointed at Zhu Qingmeng and said, "How can you concentrate on studying with this naughty boy by your side? I'll throw him out tomorrow."

Li Shuangwan and Zhu Qingmeng supported Old Madam Zhu on the left and right as they walked towards the flower hall.

Zhu Qingmeng: "Grandma, Xiaoshun is very smart. When he is in my yard, let alone talking loudly, he even walks quietly, for fear of disturbing me while I am reading."

Old Madam Zhu chuckled, "That's a good one. You, once you start reading, you even forget whether you're cold or hungry. Fortunately, he is by your side, taking good care of you. We can rest assured too."

Li Shuangwan saw that his eldest cousin trusted Xiao Shun very much. Besides, Xiao Shun was a family-born child who had served his eldest cousin since childhood. If there was no solid evidence, he would never believe that Xiao Shun would betray him.

There are still two years left.

Killing Xiaoshun is easy, but finding out who is behind Xiaoshun is the key.

She knew that person would not be Ling Heng.

It is very likely that Ling Heng was involved in the matter of my grandfather, because at that time, he had already been made the crown prince, and he tried to win over my grandfather several times but was rejected.

However, Ling Heng would not attack his eldest cousin now. Firstly, there was no need to do so. Secondly, he was not yet the crown prince and was in urgent need of support from the Zhu family. His eldest cousin was the next head of the Zhu family and was undoubtedly the one he wanted to win over.

But Ling Heng has not had any direct contact with his eldest cousin yet.

From a distance, Li Shuangwan saw a figure sticking his head out from the door of the flower hall and looking over here. When he saw them coming, he quickly shrank back.

Li Shuangwan covered her mouth and laughed.

Madam Zhu whispered in her ear: "Damn old man."

Zhu Qi was jogging to sit back on the armchair, straightened his back, picked up the tea and pretended to drink it, his eyes already glancing over the tea lid towards the door.
