The Zhenfusi brought back a total of five people.

In addition to Yang Yaohua and his two children, there are Mother Su and her son.

And there is Wang Qiu.

They all confessed.

It was Madam Lu who found Su Mama and her son and asked them to find a few people to go to Shangjing City to pretend to be refugees. At first, she just wanted them to find a way to humiliate the eldest lady of the Lu family. After the task was accomplished, she would give them five hundred taels.

Yang Yaohua's son was sick and needed money.

They were far away in Puyang County. As long as they finished their work, they would leave for Beijing immediately and no one would be able to find them.

Originally, they had already set their sights on Madam Lu.

Who knew that Mother Su's son asked them to kidnap the second son of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.

This is not such a simple matter.

Puyang County is so close to Yunzhou, and Princess Yuanjia still has troops in Puyang County. If they really kidnap the second young master, they will be dead.

They want money, but they also want lives.

Unexpectedly, those people kidnapped their son and daughter and threatened with their lives, saying that if they refused to kidnap the second young master, they would kill their families.

Mother Su and her son looked pale and did not dare to look up to see anyone.

Guan Jin continued to add to the information obtained from the interrogation by the Pacification Division.

"Wang Qiu went to kill Su's mother and son. The Pacification Division had already arrived in Puyang County before Wang Qiu arrived and was waiting for them. Su's mother and son were also protected before they were killed."

"Mrs. Lu and Concubine Bai are colluding with each other."

"Su was indeed the concubine of Princess Zhennan, but because her son gambled, she was accused of embezzling money and was driven out of the palace by Princess Zhennan."

"In fact, she had long been bribed by Concubine Bai, and when Princess Zhennan was pregnant, she drugged and murdered the princess's offspring."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

Prince Zhennan stepped forward and kicked Mother Su in the chest, "Who did you poison? Who do you want to harm?"

The princess's face was gloomy and she looked at Mother Su steadily.

Mother Su vomited blood.

She knelt down and kowtowed to the princess, "Princess, I was wrong. I deserve death, but my son is innocent. Please let her go."

Mother Su kowtowed repeatedly and soon her forehead was broken.

His face was covered in blood.

The princess lowered her eyes and looked at her, "When I was pregnant with Chun'er, did you drug me?"

Mother Su was trembling all over. At that time, her son lost money in gambling and was caught by the owner of the gambling house. It was Concubine Bai who saved her son, but her son's life was also in the hands of Concubine Bai.

"It is I who deserve to die, Princess, please execute me."

The princess closed her eyes, feeling heartbroken, "So, Chun's eyes..."

"You really deserve to die, you really deserve to die!"

Duke Lu looked at Lu Yuan with a gloomy face. He was still wondering why the Pacification Office wanted him to attend the interrogation.

It turns out to be related to the first wife.

"This matter has been recorded and sent to the palace. We still have to wait for the emperor's order on how to deal with it." Lu Yuan spoke slowly.

"Asshole, who told you to go so fast..." Uncle Lu cursed when he heard it.

Lu Yuan looked over with sharp eyes.

Uncle Lu pursed his lips. He wanted to scold Lu Yuan for reporting to the emperor so quickly. This matter involved his stepmother. Was he going to convict his stepmother?

If this matter gets out, the Lu family will become a laughing stock in the whole of Shangjing.

"Commander Lu, is there any news about Achun?" the princess asked in a low voice.

She didn't look at Su's mother and others. In her eyes, these people were no different from dead people.

The final result will inevitably be the death penalty.

She didn't go to see Prince Zhennan either.

Lu Yuan said, "The eldest son was thrown off the cliff, but luckily he landed on a tree branch and was rescued by a couple who were out collecting herbs. He was in a coma due to his severe injuries and only woke up recently."

When the princess heard that her son was still alive, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and the emotions she had been holding on to finally relaxed.

Her eyes slowly turned red.

Duke Lu finally spoke solemnly, "Lu Yuan, what are you going to do next?"

"Arrest the suspects involved in the case." Lu Yuan said calmly.

Master Lu was furious. "You still want to arrest your stepmother. You are a traitor!"

"Your Lu family is so good. You kidnapped my son and want the Pacification Office to protect the criminal, right?" Prince Zhennan glared at Uncle Lu.

He now wished he could tear Mrs. Lu into pieces.

Duke Lu's face turned pale. He had never expected that the usually elegant, quiet, noble and dignified first wife would actually do such a thing.

"Take these people back first." Lu Yuan ordered coldly.

"Commander Lu, can you... take me to see Achun?" asked the princess.

Lu Yuan said, "The eldest son should have returned to the palace by now."

After hearing this, the princess could no longer sit still. She had to go see her son.

……

……

Mrs. Lu said they were going to Huguo Temple, but in fact, she sent the carriage to Qingju Temple.

She suspected that Concubine Bai was hiding something from her, so she had to come and see for herself. She wanted to know who the woman who saved Feng Shenghua was.

If he was just an ordinary person, why would Concubine Bai keep it secret from her?

However, the woman was not in Qingju Temple.

The abbot said that the girl was a pregnant young woman who had been separated from her husband, and the abbot took her in out of pity.

Mrs. Lu had some vague guesses about the identity of this woman.

She was secretly annoyed that her own sister was actually planning to plot against her.

"Madam, it's bad. The people from the Pacification Office... have taken Wang Qiu away." Mo Ju's face was pale. As soon as Madam Lu walked in, she told her what happened.

Mrs. Lu felt as if she was stepping on clouds and her steps were a little unsteady.

"How could the Pacification Office find it?" Mrs. Lu asked in a low voice.

Mo Ju said in panic, "Madam, and Madam Su and her son... were all taken away. Today, I saw that the Duke and the Master were both out..."

Mrs. Lu felt a panic in her heart.

She took a deep breath, not wanting to be anxious or lose her composure.

"Anything else?" Mrs. Lu asked.

Mo Ju shook her head, "I don't know either. The Duke and Master haven't come back yet."

Mrs. Lu paced back and forth, "Go, find the second young master."

If Lu Yuan could get the truth out of Wang Qiu, he would definitely try every means to convict her.

He never considered her his mother.

However, before Duke Lu and Mr. Lu could return, Guan Jin from the Pacification Division arrived first.

He came to arrest Mrs. Lu and bring her to justice.

"Catch me?" Mrs. Lu said in a high-handed tone, "Who dares?"

Guan Jin smiled with a fake smile, "Mrs. Lu, we are here on orders."

"Let Lu Yuan come, otherwise I won't go with you to the Pacification Office." Mrs. Lu said coldly.

"Commander Lu is now in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion. The eldest young master has returned, and Commander Lu needs to ask him a few questions, so I will do this small matter." Guan Jin said.

Mrs. Lu's face darkened, "Feng Chunhua is back alive?"

"Yes, I came back alive."

Therefore, everything was a trap set by others, waiting for her and Concubine Bai to be convicted together.
