When Mrs. Lin read the words "Order Du Sheng and others to kill all the people in the Lin family to prevent future troubles" on the paper.

He completely lost his mind and rushed towards Fang.

He was grabbed by the bailiffs of Jingzhao Prefecture and pinned to the ground.

Mrs. Lin's face was pressed to the ground, and the fine sand rubbed one side of her face so hard that it hurt, but she seemed to no longer feel the pain.

He shouted, "I'll tell you everything! It was the Second Madam. She told me to do it!"

Fan Jiang waved his hand, and the bailiff who was holding Mrs. Lin let go.

There was hatred in Mrs. Lin's eyes when she looked at Xu.

She deserves what has happened to her today.

She should have thought of this as early as when Li Yuanming asked the second lady to poison the servants in Zhilan's courtyard and sell them all.

Sooner or later, there will be such a day for me.

Since she is unkind, don't blame her for being unjust.

What does she have to hide?

Mrs. Lin looked at her straight in the eyes.

"Second Madam, yesterday afternoon, around 3 p.m., you were the one who brought me to Shulan Courtyard. You ordered the old servant to restrain Xing'er, and you strangled her to death yourself."

"He also said that Xing'er was three points like the Third Lady, so let her die in her place. Then we can announce the death to the public and say that the Third Lady had an acute illness and died suddenly. This will also give Lord Lu an explanation."

Mrs. Lin sneered repeatedly, stood up from the ground, and approached Xu step by step: "You are afraid that I will tell my family about the two of us who jointly killed Xing'er yesterday, so you want to kill us all, right?"

"I, I really didn't... Nanny Lin, why don't you believe me?"

Mrs. Lin was in tears and looked at Xu coldly, hating her to the extreme.

"Why would I do this? I have served you for decades, loyally, and have never made a mistake. Even for the sake of my family's safety, I can't tell them about this."

"Over the years, I have done so many evil things for you. Which of them have I told my family? Why did I run away just now? I just wanted to take all the blame on myself."

"But you, Second Madam, it's you who don't believe me, not me who doesn't believe you!"

Xu was panicked. She saw her son whispering to Du Sheng at that time, but she really didn't want to kill them.

He quickly looked at his son.

However, at this time, Li Yuanming had already breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the confession did not mention him, but the words "master of the second house".

At this moment, he looked indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Xu looked at Ding Quan in panic and saw that he was looking at her with an angry face.

Regardless of her status, she knelt down in front of him and said, "You are Xing'er's fiancé Ding Quan. I will give you money, a lot of money. Can you, can you ask Lord Fan to stop investigating?"

Ding Quan leaned to the side and avoided it: "Second Madam, killing someone means paying with one's life. This is only natural."

Fan Jiang's face darkened. "Xu, are you treating me as if I don't exist? You killed people first, and then you tried to wipe out my entire family. Now, in front of me, you dare to buy my life with money. Do you really think the laws of Northern Jin are just empty words?"

Xu's body kept shaking, and her heart seemed to be strangled by something.

She didn't want to die yet, so she grabbed Li Yuanming's hand and said, "Yuan, Yuanming, you know, mother didn't. These people are clearly..."

Li Yuanming shouted, "Mother, how can you be so confused! My third sister is missing, and everyone in the house is looking for her. Even my uncle has sent out hundreds of people to help look for her."

"Lord Lu is a reasonable man. As long as we tell him the truth, he will not blame my father. Why did you come up with such an idea to deceive Lord Lu?"

"Mother, you are harming others and yourself!"

He closed his eyes as if in great pain, and when he opened them, he put on a righteous look.

"Mother, you really shouldn't have done this. You shouldn't have let Nanny Lin take the blame for you while trying to kill her family."

"You, you, ah... The Crown Princess has passed away, and there are only three of us left in the second branch of the Li family. We should live a good life from now on. How can you still..."

Xu stared at her son blankly, as if she didn't know him: "You, what did you say?"

Li Huaiyi, who had been standing aside without saying a word, also understood what his son meant.

He said angrily: "Poisonous woman, poisonous woman! I want to divorce my wife. I, Li Huaiyi, don't have a wife with a vicious heart like you! With a poisonous woman like you, are you going to kill me and Yuan Ming?"

When Xu heard the father and son say these words, the remaining color on her face faded away.

She opened her mouth, but for a moment, she couldn't utter a word. She looked at the father and son in front of her in shock, as if she was meeting them for the first time. Her heart seemed to be squeezed tightly by a huge hand, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Li Shuangwan watched all this coldly. This was the face of the second wife.

Indifferent, selfish, and cold-hearted to the point of being outrageous.

Silent tears rolled down Xu's face.

When Yuan Ming gave up Miaomiao for the benefit of the second house, he said those words calmly and coldly.

She should have thought that sooner or later, she would be the one to feel abandoned by her friends and relatives.

After a moment, Xu seemed to have recovered from her shock, and her eyes swept across the faces of Li Huaiyi and Li Yuanming.

This kind of retribution will come to both them, father and son, one day.

She knelt down slowly in front of Fan Jiang and said, "Sir, I plead guilty. Everything was done by me and Mrs. Lin. I was the one who killed the man, and I was the one who ordered Du Sheng and the others to destroy the Lin family."

After hearing this, Li Yuanming's tense nerves relaxed quietly.

Fortunately, the mother did not lose her mind.

I knew I had no chance of survival and I didn't say anything irreversible.

When Ding Quan heard this, tears rolled down his face.

He finally scraped together twenty taels of silver to redeem Xing'er, thinking he could finally marry his beloved wife, but he never knew that they would be separated forever.

Ding Quan knelt down towards Fan Jiang and kowtowed several times.

"Sir, I don't want a penny, I just want them to pay for Xing'er's life!"

Soon, Xu and Lin were handcuffed and shackled and taken to the Jingzhao government office.

Although the evil was committed by the second branch, the incident ultimately occurred in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

Li Shuangwan asked Chen Ping to help Ding Quan up.

He also asked the butler to get two hundred taels of silver and personally handed it to Ding Quan with both hands.

"Brother Ding, I'm sorry. It's all because of our Duke's Mansion that we let you down, Aunt Zhao, and Uncle Zhao down. Take this money, it's a small compensation from our Duke's Mansion."

Ding Quan's eyes were filled with hatred, and he waved away Li Shuangwan's hand: "I, Ding Quan, don't want the money from your Duke's Mansion!"

After saying this, he left without looking back and took the old couple Zhao away.
