The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Xie Lang had three lists of names that he had investigated.

One was from Princess Cen, who used the evidence she had buried in the palace for many years to get a list of people related to Emperor Jingping; the other was from Lou Zhizhang, who had many friends and many students who graduated from Chui Liu Academy at the court, so he also got a list.

The last one is a list drawn up by Xie Lang based on his memories of two lives.

These are the promotion changes of officials in the court over the past ten years, as well as the ministers trusted by Emperor Jingping over the years.

Xie Lang deleted and subtracted names from the three lists, and finally circled a few names, among which Xue Xujun was the focus, because he was the only grain inspector at that time who was appointed directly from the Hanlin Academy.

In addition, the rest of the people also held important positions in that war.

What happened back then still seemed like a mess to him.

The death of the crown prince and the forces that wanted to get rid of him, the death of Xie Nandai and his wife and Emperor Jingping who wanted to get rid of the Xie family... Many forces have sent people to the front lines, and no one knows the specific situation.

Xie Lang only knew that he had to investigate these matters thoroughly.

...Only in this way can he know the truth about his parents' death and redress the injustice done to them.

"Yes, my lord."

At this time, Xijiang suddenly said, "Someone just reported that the Imperial Guards have already gained control of 50% to 60% of the situation, and the four major palace gates have all been replaced by our people."

Xie Lang paused and hummed lightly.

If, after all the evidence is available, Emperor Jingping still refuses to admit it, then he will have no choice but to ask Your Majesty to abdicate to expose his crimes to the people.

Before the two of them could move, someone suddenly ran up from outside.

"My Lord, Zhao Cheng is willing to confess!"

·

The sky was dark.

Xue Mingyue would stay at the city gate for two hours every day.

She would return home only after all the rice, food, medicine and other things she brought every day had been distributed. Even if she wanted to stay outside for a while, she would be tactfully persuaded to leave, as everyone was afraid that she would get sick again.

Liuyun and the others even kept a stare at her, preventing her from taking people's pulses or treating patients, in order to prevent others from discovering her flaws.

Xue Mingyue had no choice but to suppress her urgency and return to the Marquis' Mansion obediently.

According to the plan she and Xie Lang had made, she would have to provide free porridge and medicine for seven consecutive days, preferably so that the fact that she had completely severed ties with the Xue family would be deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people.

Once the affairs in the capital are over, she will be able to go to the farm to accompany her grandfather.

The first two days went smoothly.

But what Xue Mingyue didn't expect was that today someone would dare to run out and stop the car in the street. The driver pulled the reins hard and barely avoided hitting the person, but Xue Mingyue, who was sitting in the car, almost fell out.

The charcoal basin in the carriage was hit by a disaster and half of it spilled.

As soon as the spark landed on the blanket, it immediately caught fire.

Liu Xing was so frightened that she hurriedly looked for water to put out the fire.

There was even a cluster of sparks that fell at Xue Mingyue's feet. Liuyun quickly pulled her to the back of the carriage. Fortunately, there was water in the carriage because she liked hot drinks more as the weather got colder.

After the fire was extinguished, Xue Mingyue was still a little frightened.

Thinking that she almost died in the fire, Xue Mingyue became angry. Before she could ask the driver why he stopped the carriage suddenly, she heard a familiar voice coming from outside: "Xu Yingying wants to see Madam for something important!"

"I had no choice but to stop the carriage today. It's just that the threshold of Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion is too high. It's as difficult as ascending to heaven to see Madam. That's why I resorted to this last resort. Madam, please listen to my daughter's words."

"..."

Xue Mingyue's face suddenly darkened.

Looking at the smoking charcoal and the messy carpet, I thought, this doesn't mean he wants to see her, he clearly wants to kill her!

Besides, what good could come from Xu Yingying coming to see her?

She said unhappily, "I won't see you, I won't listen to you."

Xu Yingying, who was outside the carriage, heard her cold tone and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. She was more certain of what the third prince had said before. It must have been her who spread rumors to Marquis Xie, which brought the Xu family to this point.

Xu Yingying gritted her teeth, lifted the curtain, and took two steps forward.

She bowed and said, "I had met Madam several times during the autumn hunt. I was very worried when I heard that Madam was kidnapped by thieves in the capital. After seeing that Madam returned safely, I handed over this visiting card to visit her."

"I didn't expect that my wife was still ill at that time and couldn't see anyone, so I was offended, but..."

Xu Yingying's eyes were filled with tears. "If Madam wants to blame someone, just blame me. It was because I wanted to come to visit you because I have some friendship with you. My daughter's father has nothing to do with this matter. Can you please ask the Marquis to let my father go?"

Hearing this, Xue Mingyue sneered.

Since Xie Lang couldn't get the point across, he decided to turn his attention to her, thinking that she was easy to bully.

"Miss Xu, what you said is wrong. The Marquis was able to become a general of the Jinwu Guard because of His Majesty's trust. What the Marquis did must have his own intentions. If your father is innocent, then he will not be wronged."

Xue Mingyue spoke slowly but with a hint of coldness in her voice.

If she was in a good mood, she might have said a few more words to Xu Yingying, but she was in a bad mood at the moment, so she didn't plan to be tactful.

Xu Yingying's voice became more and more sad: "Madam, I know you must still be resentful of me asking you for the white fox during the autumn hunt..."

"Why was your father arrested by the imperial guards and taken to the imperial prison? Miss Xu, don't you know?"

Xue Mingyue interrupted her with a sneer, retorting: "Besides, the Marquis has been working for His Majesty day and night, and has never dared to be unfair. Everything has been done according to the law. How could he bend the law for personal gain just because of what I said?"

"Miss Xu came to me today, thinking that I was the one who tricked the Marquis into arresting your father out of personal grudge."

Having said this she paused and snorted heavily.

"Miss Xu said this so skillfully, it can be seen that she has done such a thing herself. Different people have different opinions, so you think I would do the same thing, right?"

"If Miss Xu feels wronged, she can go to the gate of the imperial city and knock on the drum to make her report."

With such an obvious plan right on the table, they still expect her to jump into it. Do they really think she is a fool?

Xue Mingyue's eyes darkened slightly.

These words made Xu Yingying's face turn pale.

The people who were attracted by the noise looked at Xu Yingying when they heard this. She looked weak and pale, as if she had heard something shocking.

Although she had other purposes in blocking the road this time, this was not the result she wanted.

Xu Yingying held her hand to her chest, her face full of astonishment, and took a few steps back in disbelief: "Madam, how can you say that! I know you and Uncle Xue have always had a grudge, but you can't think that all fathers and daughters in the world are like you."

"As soon as Uncle Xue got into trouble, you immediately severed ties with him and left the entire Xue family behind. I've been running around for my father, and although I've come to ask for help from you today, I'm not a fool."

"You are so heartless. Do you think all the girls in the world can be as heartless as you?"

Xue Mingyue's eyebrows jumped suddenly.
