The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

Mrs. Xie originally wanted to say that it was inevitable that a family would have some conflicts, but when she thought about what Qiao'er had just said in the carriage about the Ge family's moral conduct, she really couldn't bring herself to say the word "misunderstanding".

He sighed and said to Xie Lingxi.

"Ge is a good person. The Ge family is indeed hateful, but they are Ge's maternal family after all. I don't object to your taking action."

"But the things that happened in the previous life haven't happened yet, right? You should be more careful in what you do. At most, you can just prevent Ge from returning to her parents' home... Never mind."

Mrs. Xie gave up halfway through her speech because she didn't know what to do.

What if I was soft-hearted and said something that affected my daughter's performance and allowed the Ge family to succeed? That would mean two lives lost. I can't afford the consequences of this.

So Mrs. Xie took back her words halfway through her speech, patted her daughter on the shoulder and said.

"Do whatever you want, I believe in you!"

Xie Lingxi had a smile on her face.

"Thank you for your understanding, mother. Don't worry, I know my limits and won't do anything reckless. I'm just dealing with a family of farmers, there are plenty of ways to deal with them. What's more, I won't take their lives."

At most, they would fight each other and would have no time or energy to pick a fight with the Ge family.

Xie Lingxi did not say the last sentence because she had already planned how to deal with the Ge family.

……

"That's it, my lord."

In Lord Qin's study room in the Ministry of Justice, the door was closed at this time. Sun Laiyun respectfully recounted everything that had just happened.

The minor official Ma Yue was standing nervously by the side at this time, not saying a word, not daring to say anything, not even daring to raise his head, looking as if someone was going to eat him.

After listening to Sun Laiyun's report, Lord Qin's face showed no fluctuation, but his mood was in turmoil.

It was really because of Miss Liu's affairs that his family had suffered unprovoked disasters over the years and had offended the mad dog Liu Yushi.

Calling him a mad dog is an exaggeration. Censor Liu is a madman!

But I can't do anything to him.

The Emperor protected him, and in Miss Liu's case, Censor Liu was indeed the victim. Lord Qin could only be said to have gotten himself into trouble and suffered a loss.

Now that the old matter was brought up again, Lord Qin was a little unhappy, but when he listened to what Sun Laiyun said, he felt that there might be something fishy about it.

Such a long time has passed, and suddenly a few servants showed up and brought up Miss Liu's case.

That’s right, Lord Qin has confirmed that those servants must be insiders, otherwise how could they know Guo Xiong’s name and mention the old man.

The connection between the upper and lower parts is obvious. This is clearly Miss Liu's case, and the young master mentioned by those people -

Lord Qin had a hunch that the clue that he had been unable to find three years ago might have appeared now. He just didn't know what kind of truth would be revealed when this clue was pulled out.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lord Qin looked at Ma Yue and gave Sun Laiyun a wink.

Sun Laiyun bowed in tacit understanding, then smiled and patted Ma Yue on the shoulder.

Ma Yue was startled. Sun Laiyun said in a gentle voice, "Why are you so nervous, kid? Don't worry. I just want to ask you something. Just tell me."

"Tell me whatever you can remember. You don't have to guess. This is indeed Miss Liu's case. However, this matter involves the pain of Censor Liu. Don't say anything nonsense after you get out."

Ma Yue promised immediately.

"Your Highness, I understand! Your Highness will not say anything!"

Sun Laiyun was very satisfied and gave his encouragement.

"Okay, it's good that you know. I also believe that you are a tight-lipped person. After all, those who can enter the Ministry of Justice must be smart. Now in front of the adults, think carefully about whether there are any details that you have missed."

"Or if you had any thoughts when you were listening to them, you can tell me. For example, which family did those servants belong to? Do you remember what kind of clothes they wore? Did they have any accessories? What did they look like?"

Sun Laiyun sounded like he was chatting with an old friend, and the sound of his voice gradually calmed Ma Yue down.

He seemed to have figured it out. Even if this matter was related to Miss Liu's case, it was not dangerous for him. He just had to keep his mouth shut. So he frowned and recalled.

Then he bowed to Master Qin and said, "Master, speaking of this, I was really surprised at the time. After all, which servant was so rich that he could enter the restaurant to drink? And those servants really didn't look presentable."

"I feel that there is no servant like that in any wealthy family in the capital. He has no rules at all. Not only that, but he also speaks foul language. No matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a servant, but more like a rogue!"

When the words "scoundrel" came out, Ma Yue himself didn't notice anything and continued to talk incessantly, but Lord Qin and Sun Laiyun changed their expressions.

They were very concerned about Miss Liu's case three years ago, so they naturally paid a lot of attention to the people involved.

Ma Yue didn't know much, so he was not sensitive. Lord Qin was different from Sun Laiyun. They looked at each other, suppressed the strangeness in their hearts, and continued to listen to Ma Yue's recollections.

Ma Yue curled his lips.

"I just listened to them at the time. I didn't want to listen to them at first, but they were talking too loudly and bragging. They mentioned the name Guo Xiong. I accidentally saw the file today and saw the two words Guo Xiong. Then I remembered that something was wrong."

"Thinking back to what those servants said, there does seem to be some connection. The old man they were talking about should be Censor Liu, and the unlucky guy they were talking about should be the master's family, the Qin family..."

Censor Liu found fault with Lord Qin every other day, and everyone in the court knew about it.

Some people who knew about the case three years ago and knew the inside story naturally knew what was bothering Censor Liu.

As for latecomers like Ma Yue, who didn't know about the case three years ago, he might not know why Censor Liu was targeting Lord Qin, but he did know that Censor Liu was picking on Lord Qin.

Needless to say, he was still a minor official in the Ministry of Justice. Now that he had read Miss Liu's file, he naturally knew what had happened three years ago.

After all, on the day when Miss Liu got into trouble, she met the children of Lord Qin's family.

Although Lord Qin also suffered an unexpected disaster, his family was more or less related to Miss Liu's death. It can only be said that he was unlucky.

As Ma Yue was talking, he closed his mouth again. After all, those were not pleasant memories. He still had some understanding, and Lord Qin had already made up his mind.
