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

Zhao was even more heartbroken. She was so sad that she couldn't make a sound and fainted.

The frightened Zhao's husband shouted without regard for the rules and hurriedly supported his wife.

Li Shuangwan immediately ordered Chen Ping to find a few people to settle them down, and sent someone to invite a doctor over.

Ding Quan's eyes were red, but he refused to leave.

At this time, Fan Jiang had already come out, followed by several yamen runners carrying a stretcher covered with white cloth.

Ding Quan rushed over immediately and lifted the white cloth. Xing'er's eyes were wide open, and she died with her eyes open. The dark purple mark on her neck was even more shocking.

He knelt down in front of Fan Jiang, tears streaming down his face, "Sir, the one who died was my fiancé Xing'er. I am Ding Quan, and I beg you to help me find the real murderer as soon as possible. She was strangled to death."

Fan Jiang glanced at Ding Quan calmly and said, "I will handle the case impartially and find out the truth."

At this time, Xu and Li Yuanming had searched everywhere but couldn't find Mrs. Lin, so they had to come here to take a look at the situation before making any plans.

As soon as Xu entered the gate of Shulan Courtyard, she met Xing'er's bulging eyes, which looked as if she was unwilling to close her eyes and wanted to take her life.

She was so frightened that she screamed immediately, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

Fan Jiang showed a look of surprise, but then he put away his expression and looked at Li Huaiying: "My Lord, I have offended you. I need to seal off this courtyard and conduct a thorough investigation."

Li Huaiying nodded: "Of course. Lord Fan, if you need any help, please let me know. Human life is at stake, so I will do whatever I have to do."

After hearing this, there was nothing that Fan Jiang didn't understand.

Although he followed Bai Hongxian and was considered to be on the side of the Fifth Prince Ling Yan, the Duke of Zhenguo was currently in the limelight and no one would offend him easily, especially since the person who died was just a servant who had just regained his freedom.

But now after hearing what the Duke of Zhenguo said, he understood what he meant.

He immediately bowed to Li Huaiying and said, "Thank you, Duke. I will act in accordance with the law."

Li Yuanming frowned even more and took a deep breath helplessly.

It was his fault. He overestimated his mother's intelligence and strangled her to death, leaving such a deep mark.

Don't you know how to use poison?

Even if Lu Ziqi was fooled by them today, if he sent someone to see the body, wouldn't it be a further slap in Lu Ziqi's face?

Li Yuanming was really angry. He suppressed his anger and clenched his hands into fists.

Why is God so unfair, letting him be reborn into the second wife!

Li Huaiying nodded to Fan Jiangwei and said, "I'll leave this to Lord Fan. It's getting late and I have to go to court. Lord Fan, don't worry, just let me know if you need anything. I have already told the housekeeper to fully cooperate with Lord Fan in investigating the case."

"Madam and my daughter are also here. Everyone in our mansion will fully cooperate."

Fan Jiang immediately bowed and said, "Yes, thank you, Duke."

Li Huaiying took Li Yuanqiao to the court.

Li Shuangwan and his mother Zhu Anhe stayed.

Li Yuanming helped Xu up from the ground and wanted to leave as well.

Li Shuangwan said, "Chen Ping, close the gate. No one is allowed to leave until the case is solved."

Chen Ping responded with a "yes" and immediately closed the gate tightly, and called a few guards in the courtyard to guard it.

Li Yuanming frowned and said, "Big sister, it's time to go on duty. Second brother has nothing to do with this case. Please ask someone to open the gate."

Xu grabbed Li Yuanming's sleeve and said, "Yes, yes, I am in charge of the household affairs of the mansion. Today, I have arranged for a few managers to inspect the shops, so I have to go out as well."

He pulled his face towards Li Shuangwan again, forcing a smile: "Ayan, have someone open the door, let Yuanming and I go out first, you guys try your case, if you need any cooperation, just call us, don't delay things."

Li Shuangwan smiled faintly: "I'm really sorry. Before my father left, he had already said that everyone in our mansion must unconditionally cooperate with Lord Fan in investigating the case, and no one is allowed to leave."

"I think my father will definitely send someone to ask for leave for my second brother. As for my second aunt."

Li Shuangwan chuckled, "As far as I know, the shop inspections are usually done in the afternoon. It's still early now, and Lord Fan is an expert at solving cases. If Second Aunt isn't a suspect, it won't take long."

"Big sister, do you have to do this? Are you doubting your second brother?"

"Brother, you are joking. I don't know how to investigate cases. I am just following my father's wishes. If you are not satisfied, you have to wait until my father returns home from court."

She smiled faintly: "Besides, Master Fan is here, so it's not my turn to decide whether to let Second Brother and Second Aunt leave."

Xu pointed at her nose angrily: "You!"

Fan Jiang glanced at Xu and Li Yuanming and said in a cold voice, "I have been ordered to investigate the case. No one is allowed to leave until the suspicion is cleared!"

Only then did Li Yuanming and Xu shut up.

Fan Jiang then asked Ding Quan: "When did you redeem Zhao Xing'er?"

"Your Excellency, half a month ago, I redeemed Xing'er's indenture and prepared for the wedding. But because the Crown Princess passed away, the wedding was postponed for a month."

"If that's the case, why is she still serving at the Duke's Mansion? Why not bring her home?"

Ding Quan wiped his tears and choked up, "I had already taken her home at that time, but five days ago, she suddenly came to me and said that she wanted to go back to the Duke's Mansion again."

"It is said that Madam Li Er has not arranged servants to serve Aunt Tong, and the slaves around the Third Miss are gone. There are not many servants in Shulan Courtyard."

"They have been master and servant for more than ten years, and Aunt Tong treats her very well. She is really a little worried and wants to come back to serve Aunt Tong for two days before getting married."

"I think she is a loyal person and I support her, so I agreed to her return."

When Li Shuangwan heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. After she learned that Xing'er was redeemed by Ding Quan, she wanted Hongshuang to kill her secretly.

But because of the death of the Crown Princess, Ling Heng had to act affectionate in front of the world, and Shengjing City was extremely depressed during that time.

Besides, Xing'er's matter was not urgent, so she did not let Hongshuang take action against her immediately.

But when Li Shuangxi disappeared and she learned that Li Yuanming asked Li Huaiyi to tell Lu Ziqi that Li Shuangxi was seriously ill, she knew it.

If Li Shuangxi is not found in a few days, Li Yuanming will make Li Shuangxi seriously ill and die.

Report to Lu Ziqi again.

No matter how angry Lu Ziqi was, he could do nothing since the person was dead.

This matter can just pass like this.

When a person dies, there must be a corpse.

And that Xing'er, from behind, looks a bit like Li Shuangxi.

Naturally, she also arranged for the servants of Zhilan Courtyard, and deliberately mentioned in front of Xu that Xing'er and the third young lady were somewhat similar.
