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

Xu Mei waved her hand and said, "Two days before the accident, the grandson of the court doctor was infected with a serious disease, so he asked his wife for a few days off. His wife said that she was fine, so she allowed him to go back."

"Five days later, when the court doctor returns, he will see Madam Feng's mourning hall."

"What about my grandfather?"

"The old general stayed for only a few days after his wife gave birth. Seeing that his wife was in good health, he had been away from the border for too long. The palace issued an order, so he had no choice but to return to the border."

Li Shuangwan's heart sank little by little.

Fang must have been planning this since my grandmother became pregnant.

At that time, my grandmother was in confinement after giving birth, and the entire General Zhenguo Mansion followed Fang's lead. She became the mistress of the mansion.

She was also very good at acting, and got along well with her grandmother and sisters. She never suspected that there was a jackal around her.

Bai Hongxian said to Xu Mei: "Continue."

"Yes, sir. After the lady passed away, we thought this matter was strange, and several servants gathered together to discuss it in private. Madam Cai found out and reported it to Madam Fang."

"Mrs. Fang ordered her men to beat the four of us severely and then sell us off."

At this point, Xu Mei burst into tears: "Master, Princess, we servants who were beaten half to death and sold by our masters have a miserable end. It's so miserable."

Lei Zhengliang sneered, knelt on the ground, and squinted at Li Shuangwan: "Princess Ning'an, is this the witness you are looking for? Can this prove that my cousin has committed murder?"

They also said that Princess Ning'an was a female general, not that great.

"Why did Master Lei make such a conclusion so early?" Xu Mei wiped away her tears and said in an old voice, "On the day when Madam was seriously ill, I felt that something was amiss and went to see Madam secretly. Through the crack in the door, I happened to see Madam Cai feeding her medicine."

Bai Hongxian interrupted: "What medicine did you give me?"

"A bowl of black medicine. Madam Cai forced it into Madam Feng's mouth."

"I heard Aunt Fang very seriously order Madam Cai to dispose of the medicine residue and not let anyone else find out. She also said that if this matter were to be leaked, both of them would lose their heads."

Lei Zhengliang was about to retort, but Li Shuangwan asked for him, "Grandma Xu, you said you saw Fang order Madam Cai to feed poison to my grandmother. Then why didn't Fang attack my grandmother during her pregnancy, but waited until she gave birth?"

Everyone in the court looked at Xu. Yes, she had to take pregnancy-protecting medicine regularly. Wouldn’t it be easier to do it?

All she had to do was bribe the court doctor.

Mrs. Xu is already old. She did heavy work when she was young, and now she is old, her bones ache all over her body. After kneeling for a while, her face turned pale and she seemed to be exhausted.

"Master Bai, can you spare Granny Xu from kneeling?"

Bai Hongxian naturally agreed. So many people were watching, and as the official of Shengjing City, he had to gain a good reputation.

"Someone, bring a stool over for Xu."

Li Shuang supported Xu before going to bed that night and helped her sit on the stool.

Xu Mei thanked him profusely and said slowly, "Master Bai, Princess, Aunt Fang couldn't find an opportunity. When Madam became pregnant, the old general was extremely happy, but also extremely nervous. That was the child they had been looking forward to for many years."

"That year, the northwest was relatively peaceful, so the old general asked the late emperor for a few months' leave and stayed by his wife's side for twelve hours a day until she gave birth, when he had to leave."

"Besides, there is the palace doctor here. Even if Madam Fang dares to take action, she won't find an opportunity."

"Also, I once heard Madam Fang tell Madam Cai that when Madam was pregnant, she didn't have the chance to get rid of the baby because the old general was very cold to her and never looked at her straight in the eye, so she couldn't get herself pregnant."

"In this case, why not let Madam give birth to the child safely first? Once the child is born, I will kill Madam and the child will be hers."

Li Shuangwan immediately said, "Since you saw it with your own eyes, where did the medicine residue fall, Granny Xu, do you remember?"

This kind of harmful drug residue can only be burned or buried somewhere.

"Yes, Princess. I remember it. It was wrapped in a piece of cloth and buried under the old locust tree in Qingfeng Courtyard."

Bai Hongxian knew that the case had come to this point and that he could not remain silent to solve the problem, so he asked, "It's been more than 40 years, Xu, how come you remember it so clearly?"

Tears welled up in Mrs. Xu's eyes again: "Master Bai, we servants were sold out because we said the lady's death was strange. After being sold out, our lives were very difficult. I dare not forget it all the time, Master Bai."

"Out of four people, I am the only one still alive. The other three were beaten to death by their later masters. My legs were broken after I was sold. My master saw that I was useless and threw me away. I was picked up by my husband, and that’s how I survived."

Bai Hongxian ordered: "Come here, send two people to the Qingfeng Courtyard of the Duke's Mansion to dig out the medicinal residue under the old locust tree."

Of course, Li Shuangwan and the others had known about this for a long time. It was Xingyan's people who found this Granny Xu, and it took a lot of effort to find her.

But for the reliability of the evidence, they did not disturb the soil there.

Li Shuangwan was thankful that the place where Li Shuangxi asked Qiao'er to bury the medicine last time was under the pomegranate tree in Qingfeng Courtyard, not under the old locust tree.

Because my grandfather ordered the Qingfeng Courtyard to be closed, the old locust tree remained.

Just at this moment, the housekeeper came in hurriedly: "My Lord, I found it. The old lady's pulse case, I found it!"

The housekeeper came running over hurriedly, holding a box.

Li Huaiying said to Bai Hongxian: "Master Bai, this man is the housekeeper of my house, and he has other evidence in his hands."

Li Shuangwan breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked at Yang Luo, he saw the corners of her lips curved towards him.

The housekeeper walked into the court, panting heavily, but very excited: "My Lord, the pulse case has been found! It was hidden by Madam Fang in Songhe Hall. There is a secret compartment in her closet."

Lei Zhengliang fell to the ground with a thud. This crazy woman Fang didn't even destroy such an important thing. What was the point of keeping it?

An hour later, the bailiff who went to Qingfengyuan brought back a rag bag.

Although it is very old, the medicinal residue inside can still be identified.

In addition to this bag of old medicine residue, the yamen runner also brought Fang!

The moment Madam Cai saw Fang being brought in, her face turned pale and she knew she was finished.

Fang was still very stubborn, even though she had scratched herself so much that not a single inch of skin was left intact.

But during those days, even though she was itching like crazy, she still didn't move her face.

At this moment, she was brought here by the bailiffs, and in front of the world, she was still the dignified and proper old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

The voice arrives before the person arrives.
