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

Since the witness would not arrive until this time tomorrow, Li Huaiying sat down and said without beating around the bush: "Just tell me what you found out."

Gu Xingyan nodded, knowing that the Duke of Zhenguo was an open-minded gentleman and there was no need for him to say any roundabout and polite words.

So he said it very directly: "Li Huaiyi is indeed not the old general's son."

The veins on Li Huaiying's forehead were throbbing, and he clenched his hands into fists and slammed them heavily on the table.

Although he had thought about it a lot in the past few days, he gradually discovered some clues.

But he was always unwilling to think about the worst.

Sometimes I really hope that what Gu Xingyan’s people find is fake.

But the truth is still so cruel.

Decades of mother-son love and brotherly love fell apart overnight.

"What else did you find out?" Li Huaiying's voice seemed to have aged by ten years in an instant.

Zhu Anhe gently placed his hand on the back of his hand.

Li Huaiying immediately relaxed his clenched fists, forced out an ugly smile, and shook his head slightly at her.

Gu Xingyan's face was really ugly. He paused for a moment before saying, "Yes, there is one more important thing. Uncle, our people found out that the old lady's death was probably related to Fang."

Li Huaiying's expression changed immediately: "You, what did you say?"

Li Shuangwan said quickly: "Dad, don't get excited yet, just listen to what Xingyan has to say."

Although Li Yuanqiao was shocked, he quickly came over to comfort him: "Dad, calm down first."

Li Huaiying took a deep breath and looked at Gu Xingyan: "Go ahead."

"All the evidence we found can prove that the old lady died at the hands of Fang. Yanyan was also suspicious at first, so she asked me to secretly send someone to Xixiang City to investigate."

Li Shuangwan said hurriedly, "I also heard from my grandfather that my grandmother had always been in good health. When she was pregnant, she paid special attention to her diet and didn't eat too much or too little. How come after giving birth to my father, her health suddenly collapsed and she died not long after."

"I think there's something fishy about this matter, so I kept it from you and asked Xingyan to help investigate first."

Gu Xingyan nodded: "Yes. It's just that because it happened so long ago and many people are no longer around, it took a little longer, but this was also the first thing I found."

Li Huaiying couldn't stop shaking all over. His mother passed away not long after giving birth to him.

It was not until he was ten years old that he followed his father to the northwest.

Before he was ten years old, it was Fang who raised him.

When his mother died, Fang was pregnant. Because she was busy with her mother's funeral and raising the baby, she was overworked and suffered a miscarriage.

It was not until three years later that she became pregnant again and gave birth to Li Huaiyi.

My father was away from home all year round, and in four years, he returned to Shengjing only a handful of times.

But during those years, Fang did a great job in managing all the affairs of the mansion and raising the children.

For this reason, not long after she gave birth to Li Huaiyi, she was made the principal wife by her father.

Who would have known that Fang was the most venomous snake hidden deepest.

Li Huaiying slammed his fist on the table. He was so blind, so blind that he actually recognized the murderer of his mother as his own mother for decades!

Li Shuangwan asked worriedly, "Dad, what are you going to do?"

This is considered a scandal in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If it were known by outsiders, I don't know how many people would laugh at my grandfather and my father.

But she would feel unwilling to let them occupy the Li family's surname.

The second wife doesn’t deserve the surname Li!

Only by taking away the surname Li, expelling them from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and making them pay the price for their actions can I vent my hatred!

The vicious woman Fang will be killed by the law.

And Li Huaiyi and Li Yuanming.

Li Shuangwan thought of the box of poisonous jewelry. Li Huaiyi had already given the things to Lu Ziqi.

As far as she knew, Lu Ziqi gave the entire box of things to the Fifth Prince Ling Yan the next day.

If Lu Ziqi knew that the box of things sent by Li Huaiyi was poisonous, he would have passed it to Ling Yan, so she and her father would not have to take action.

Without the protection of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Ling Yan and Lu Ziqi would surely kill both father and son.

If Li Yuanming wanted to seek Ling Heng's help again, it would be impossible.

Ling Heng hates people who betray him the most.

Li Huaiying slowly relaxed his clenched fist: "Leave the witness to me, Xingyan. It is inconvenient for you to show up for this matter."

Gu Xingyan looked at Li Shuangwan.

Li Shuangwan nodded at him.

"Okay, when Lin Musen's men arrive tomorrow, I'll have them come find my uncle and hand the man over to you."

"Ah."

Zhu Anhe asked hurriedly: "Laoying, what are you going to do?"

"Of course, I will bring the witnesses to the Jingzhao government office to appeal. This general wants to file a complaint!"

Zhu Anhe was shocked: "Lao Ying, you need to think twice about this matter."

"Nothing to think twice about."

"But in this case, my father-in-law, he..."

He has been dead for such a long time, but the scandal from decades ago is still being unearthed and has become a topic of conversation among people.

How cruel.

Li Huaiyi knew what she was going to say and consoled her: "Madam, I know what I am doing. But I believe that my father will support me in doing this."

I can't be treated as a cuckold my whole life and have to hide such an ugly thing for them.

"The day after tomorrow morning I will invite the clan leader and several elders from the clan to go to the Jingzhao government office and beat drums to appeal for justice."

"Dad, I have Madam Cai locked up Hong Shuang. When the time comes, take her along. She is Zhuang's personal nanny and has served her for decades. She must know a lot."

Li Huaiying nodded.

Li Shuangwan thought of something: "But, Xingyan, Li Huaiyi and my father do look very similar, how could this be..."

Gu Xingyan sneered: "This is a long story. Uncle, do you still remember that the Li family expelled a descendant more than a hundred years ago?"

Li Huaiying nodded: "Yes, it is true. He committed a serious mistake and violated the family rules. He was expelled from the Li family and expelled from the Li Mansion. No one asked where he went later. Could it be that..."

"Yes, after he was expelled from the Li family, he moved to Xixiang City and changed his surname to Lei. Li Huaiyi's biological father is the great-grandson of that man and also Fang's cousin, Lei Zhengliang."

"More than forty years ago, Fang eloped with Lei Zhengliang and met an old general who was suppressing bandits on the way."

"That Lei Zhengliang was a thief. When he saw the large army, he panicked and left Fang behind and ran away. Fang was in a panic and ran into a bandit's den. He was captured by the bandits and became a hostage to threaten the old general."

"The old general rescued her, but a landslide occurred and the two were trapped in the cave for a night. When the Fang family found her the next day, they concealed the fact that she eloped with her cousin and blamed the old general."

Li Huaiying knew everything that happened next.

It turned out that they were from the same bloodline. Li Shuangwan finally understood why she had raised Chunning for nine years in her previous life without realizing that he was not her own flesh and blood.

Chun Ning's eyebrows and eyes are like her, and her mouth and nose are very much like Ling Heng.
