Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family
Chapter 550 Kneeling Ceremony
Li Shuangwan sneered: "Second Uncle was dismissed by Lord Lu, so he must be desperate!"
Li Huaiyi returned home in a daze yesterday, and someone had already told her about this matter.
She thought that the second room would not be able to hold back last night, but she didn't expect that she could wait until this morning.
"How dare you! Li Shuangyan, I am your second uncle. How dare you talk to your elders like that? You are disrespectful and unfilial!"
Seeing that the people from the second house had bad intentions, Zhu Anhe slammed his chopsticks heavily on the table.
He said angrily: "Then how can you be an elder! If you want your children to be filial to you, you should first pat your conscience and ask yourself whether you have done what an elder should do!"
Li Shuangwan stopped Zhu Anhe and said, "Since Second Uncle wants to act like an elder to me, I have to have a good talk with him."
"My father is a first-class duke, my mother is a first-class lady, my brother is the prince of the duke's mansion and a third-rank major general, and I, Li Shuangyan, am a second-rank princess."
"Second Uncle is just a ninth-rank water conservancy official. When he sees us, shouldn't he kneel down and kowtow to us one by one?"
After hearing this, Li Huaiyi and his wife's faces turned red. They pointed at Li Shuangyan's nose, and were so angry that they couldn't say a word.
And it was at this moment that Hong Shuang came and nodded calmly to Li Shuangwan.
Then he said, "My Lady, I found a female corpse in Shulan Courtyard. It has been confirmed that it was Xing'er, the maid who served Aunt Tong."
Aunt Tong was thrown into the woodshed of the other courtyard, and naturally she was not allowed to bring a maid with her.
Xu's face turned pale immediately. Yesterday evening, she and Mrs. Lin strangled Xing'er to death and changed her clothes into Li Shuangxi's.
The body was placed on her bed to make it look like Li Shuangxi had died suddenly.
After doing all this, he returned to Zhilan Courtyard, thinking of asking Li Huaiyi to go to Lu Mansion to tell Lu Ziqi that Li Shuangxi was dead.
Only she and the maidservants around her knew about this matter. How did Hongshuang find out?
Li Shuangwan sneered, "A murder happened in the mansion, it's no small matter. Someone, go to Jingzhao Prefecture and report to the authorities."
Xu immediately stopped him and sneered, "Don't report it to the authorities! It's just a little slave who died. She has already sold herself to the master. At most, we can give her family some more money. Why report it to the authorities?"
Li Shuangwan looked at her calmly, "Second Aunt, have you forgotten that Xing'er will be leaving the house to get married in a few days? Half a month ago, her fiancé already used the silver to redeem her indenture."
"The reason why Xing'er hasn't left the house is because of the master-servant relationship with Aunt Tong. She wants to stay with Aunt Tong for a while before getting married. Now Xing'er is no longer a slave of your second house. She is already a good citizen."
Li Shuangwanqing said this coldly, and Xu's face turned pale.
How could she forget such an important thing!
Xing'er was already 23 years old, and was past the age for marriage. No one knew where her parents had found a marriage for her half a month ago in order to redeem her.
For this, she even extorted twenty taels of silver from her fiancé before returning the indenture to him.
The original wedding date was yesterday, but due to the death of the Crown Princess, the wedding date was postponed for a month.
Logically, since Aunt Tong was sent to another villa, she should also leave the house.
But for some reason, he hasn't left in the past two days.
So many things had happened in the past half month that she had long forgotten about this matter.
It's okay to kill a slave at will, but if the person she killed was an honest citizen...
Cold sweat oozed out of every pore of Xu's body, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
Li Shuangwan looked down at Xu who had collapsed to the ground and snorted, "Second Aunt, what's wrong with you? Why are you so scared? Could it be that Xing'er's death has something to do with you?"
"No, no, and, what does it have to do with me, I don't know what you are talking about."
Xu knew that she had lost her composure and quickly stood up by holding the table leg.
At this time, the housekeeper suddenly came in a hurry: "Master, Madam, someone from Xing'er's family came and said they want to take her back to marry."
Xu almost fell to the ground again.
Li Shuangwan was also a little surprised. How could it be such a coincidence that Xing'er's family came to the door at this time?
But it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
She stood up, glanced at the frightened Xu, curled her lips, and said to the housekeeper, "Please invite them to Shulan Courtyard. Dad, Mom, let's go too."
Li Huaiying glanced at Li Huaiyi coldly, his face turned pale, he flicked his sleeves and walked past him, striding towards Shulanyuan.
Li Huaiyi was also frightened by this incident. Looking at Xu's expression, how could he not understand anything? As soon as he returned home, Xu asked him to go to Lu's Mansion to report Xier's sudden death.
The corpse that Xu got must be Xing'er.
Stupid woman, stupid woman.
Wouldn't it be too late to kill him after he comes back? Why do you have to kill him so quickly?
There are so many maids in the mansion, why not kill any one of them? Why did he have to find Xing'er?
"We can't let them in!" Li Huaiyi stretched out his hand to block the housekeeper's way without thinking.
Li Shuangwan, who had just walked out of the flower hall, turned around and said coldly, "Everyone is dead. Do you think this matter can be concealed?"
"Or maybe you want Xing'er's family to make a scene outside the mansion gate, so that everyone in Shengjing knows about it, before you will give up?"
Li Huaiyi dropped his hands weakly.
Several people left.
Xu suddenly woke up and rushed out.
Li Huaiyi was really scared. He didn't expect that this stupid woman would be so scary when she went crazy.
Li Huaiyi reached out to grab Xu, but Xu broke free. He could only hear her mumbling, "Give me money, I'll compensate them, a lot of money."
Li Shuangwan, who was walking behind the crowd, heard this and laughed sarcastically.
Giving money won't settle the matter.
He turned to Chen Ping in the yard and said, "Chen Ping, go report to the authorities now."
Fan Jiang from the Ministry of Justice is an expert at solving cases. After Zhang Maozheng was killed in his previous life, he immediately became the Minister of Justice.
Besides, today's case is not difficult at all.
Chen Ping immediately responded with a "yes" and headed towards Jingzhao Prefecture.
At this moment, Li Yuanming in Zhilan Courtyard was very uneasy and always felt that something was going to happen.
No, he couldn't just sit there and wait, he had to go to Haitangyuan to check out the situation.
However, as soon as I came out of Zhilan Courtyard, I saw the housekeeper leading a middle-aged civilian couple and a young man towards Shulan Courtyard.
Li Yuanming looked at the young man with a frown on his face. He felt like he had seen him somewhere before and that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where.
At this time, a man happened to pass by, and Li Yuanming hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, let me ask you, who were those two people just now? What were they doing in Shulanyuan?"
Shulanyuan now has no master.
