Cool! Tragic death and rebirth, the legitimate daughter abuses the scumbag with great pleasure

"Didn't Lu Lingzhu and the Wang family conspire to imprison you here?"

"It wasn't all her doing. There is another real mastermind behind the scenes, and no one would have thought it was her. If I died here, I'm afraid this secret would be buried, and no one would ever know about it again. All of this was her doing, and only she could manipulate Lü Lingzhu to deal with me and imprison me here for ten years."

"I guess she must have promised Lu Lingzhu that after getting rid of me, she would make her the official wife of the Duke's Mansion, and promised the Wang family huge benefits, so she ordered them to do me a cruel thing."

"Girl, who else in the Duke of Song's mansion could persuade Lü Lingzhu and make the Wang family follow his lead? With your intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult to guess, right?"

I see. Otherwise, if a concubine wants to deal with the legitimate daughter, or a concubine wants to deal with the powerful wife of the main wife, it would be impossible for them to do it without someone to support them!

Then, in the Mansion of Duke Song, the person who has more power and more say than the wife of Duke Song is none other than the second wife of the old Duke, who is also Lu Pei's nominal mother-in-law.

With this reminder, Su Ci figured out the twists and turns and guessed who the real mastermind behind the scenes was.

"Is that person the old duke's stepmother? Why did she treat you like this? It's normal for there to be some discord or conflicts between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. She wouldn't want to kill you, would she?" Su Ci was extremely curious.

"That's right! The old Duke's wife Zhao Chunmei."

"The current wife of the old Duke, Zhao Chunmei, is the second wife. Like Lv Lingzhu, she was promoted from a concubine to the position."

"As a successor, I naturally want to have a wife who is easy to control. I am proud of my noble status and have been upright since I was a child. I will not flatter or curry favor with others. What's more, she is not my proper mother-in-law, so I don't take her seriously. She has always disliked me."

"In order to better control the entire Duke Song's Mansion, replacing me is the best way. In this way, she can cover the sky with one hand and do whatever she wants in the Duke Song's Mansion."

"Song Ting, the Duke of Song, is the son of the late Madam Si Nanfeng who is buried in the forbidden area. Zhao Chunmei is a dozen years younger than the old Duke and is only in her fifties now."

The relationship between the wealthy and powerful families is really complicated! A family has many wives and concubines, many children, and many families and interests involved. The women in the harem are not like in modern times, where women can go out to work and make a name for themselves.

They can only stay in the small space of the backyard, with limited vision and experience, so they can only fight to the death like a black-eyed chicken.

You framed me and I framed you. What we were fighting for was nothing more than a man's favor, children, and wealth. That's all.

"It's ridiculous. Si Nanfeng was said to be the old Duke's favorite. They grew up together and were said to have a deep affection for each other. But not long after his death, Zhao Chunmei was made his wife. Men's feelings are really unreliable!"

"Rumor has it that Si Nanfeng died of illness, three years after Zhao Chunmei entered the family. Two years after her death, Zhao Chunmei was promoted to the position of the legitimate wife and took charge of the huge Duke of Song's mansion. At that time, the old Duke of Song was fighting on the battlefield, and the entire family was under the control of Zhao Chunmei."

"After Song Ting and I got married, our relationship has always been respectful to each other, neither good nor bad, just ordinary. Zhao Chunmei has always wanted to control me, but I am the daughter of the Prime Minister after all, so she dared not confront me head-on. She only dared to do some small actions behind my back, and from time to time, she would put pressure on me as an elder, but she didn't dare to do anything too excessive or embarrassing."

"Until one day, I accidentally overheard Zhao Chunmei and a man plotting to embezzle 80% of the relief money in the garden at night. I was so frightened that I revealed my true colors. The next day, they knocked me out and sent me here to be imprisoned."

"At that time, Suzhou was in the midst of a severe drought, with no rainfall for several months. The imperial court allocated a large amount of grain and silver to the relief. I think the silver they were planning to embezzle should be the silver for disaster relief."

"Not long after, I heard from the guards that the family of Li Jing, the then Minister of Revenue, was implicated in a case of embezzlement of disaster relief funds. The whole family was imprisoned, and soon after, the whole family was exiled to a wild land, and could not return to the capital without the emperor's edict."

"And for all these years, Lu Lingzhu has only followed Zhao Chunmei's lead and obeyed her in everything. They are in cahoots with each other and have firmly controlled the Duke of Song's Mansion."

"I've been trapped here for these years, and I've figured it out. There must be something fishy about Si Nanfeng's death. With Zhao Chunmei's ruthless personality, she would never stay a concubine forever and live under someone else's control. Si Nanfeng is a huge mountain pressing down on her head and a stumbling block for her. She must be removed."

"Also, I suspect that this forbidden area is not just for imprisoning me, but also has a bigger secret hidden in it. I also suspect that it has a lot to do with Zhao Chunmei, and perhaps also has a lot to do with Si Nanfeng's death, but I don't know the details."

"There is a mechanism room here, have you heard of it?" Su Ci asked.

"I heard from the guards that they can control the entire forbidden area. There may be an important breakthrough point there, and maybe we can find the secret of this forbidden area."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible for a weak woman like me to escape if I were locked in an underground cave. Those traps were definitely not set up for me, and certainly not for the animals outside. There must be something else going on."

Su Ci thought about it and felt that what she said made a lot of sense, otherwise there would be no need to set up a control room.

It seemed that she really needed to think carefully about what monstrous secrets were hidden in that control room? What had made Zhao Chunmei go to such great lengths to plan all this?

The zoo and the mausoleum of the late old lady, what on earth is she trying to hide? It seems that there is something really wrong here!

The two of them were chatting animatedly.

Banyue found a room with a large bathtub in it. She also found a well, drew some water, boiled some water, poured it into the bathtub, and helped Lu Pei wash herself in it.

While the two of them were bathing, Su Ci put all the bodies of the guards into the space, and also recovered all the dropped arrows.

There was only a room where Wang Shun and Song Ning were. Su Ci simply retrieved the arrow from a distance and ignored the corpse inside.

She deliberately left their bodies behind so that everyone could see clearly what they were doing. At the same time, she also left Song Ning with a filthy reputation after her death. When people talked about her, they would be terrified and shake their heads and sigh, making her a negative example and notorious!
