Obviously, the elders of the Liu family had also thought of this. Forced by the situation, for the sake of the Liu family, they could only compromise and agree to Liu Mochen's plan again.

"Okay, Liu Mochen, this is the last chance we give you. If you are useless, the successor to the Liu family can also be chosen from the side branches."

"That's right. We don't want to put our lives and property on a piece of trash."

"Just take care of yourself."

The elders of the clan spoke one after another, belittling Liu Mochen to dust. They were so emotional that they didn't even notice the resentful look in Liu Mochen's eyes.

He suppressed the anger in his heart. Now, he still needed the Liu family. After getting rid of Shangguan Chu and Xiao Jingheng, he would kill all those who were in the way.

In this world, he is the only one who can be good to himself.

After the elders left, Liu Mochen quickly took action, summoned his old subordinates, and was about to take action. Unexpectedly, he was blocked at the door of his house.

Looking at Chen Changli who came out from behind the secret guards, Liu Mochen's eyes darkened and he gritted his teeth and said, "Duke, why do you have to ruin my good deeds again and again?"

"Before, the evidence in Shangguan Chu's hand was also given by you, right? Otherwise, with their abilities, they would never be able to find it out in this lifetime."

Hearing this, Chen Changli raised his eyebrows, surprised at Liu Mochen's insight.

"Since you knew, you shouldn't have taken this action again." He said calmly and waved his hand gently: "An Yi, take action."

"Yes, master."

At Chen Changli's command, the secret guards immediately took action. Their moves were fierce and caught the Liu family off guard, catching them all in one fell swoop.

Not long after, the news that the Liu family was wiped out spread throughout the streets and alleys. When Xiao Jingheng learned that Liu Mochen was arrested, he hurried to the county magistrate's mansion and volunteered.

"Sir, Master, please let me participate in the interrogation." Xiao Jingheng saluted the two of them, and said earnestly, "I don't want to see the Liu family lie anymore. I must find out the truth of that year."

"Let's see if the Liu family is involved in other conspiracies."

After hearing this, Wan Shufang couldn't help laughing and glanced at Xiao Jingheng: "You speak so righteously, aren't you here for personal reasons?"

"For both public and private reasons, since he made a mistake, he should take responsibility for it."

"Well said, you have understood the books of sages." Wan Shufang felt relieved and looked at Chen Changli, only to see Chen Changli nodded slightly, which showed his agreement.

The matter was almost settled, and Shangguan Chu, after this incident, had become more open-minded and became more calm and generous. With Wan Shufang's encouragement, he began to organize the relevant documents of his father's old case.

Looking at her busy figure, the county magistrate couldn't help but shed tears and praised her softly: "My daughter has really grown up."

The county magistrate's voice brought Shangguan Chu back to her senses. She raised her head, looked at the newcomer, and bowed obediently, "Father, why are you here?"

"I came to see you, Ah Chu. Although investigating the case is important, you also have to take care of your health."

"I know, don't worry, father."

Shangguan Chu smiled softly, and the father and daughter talked to each other for a long time, and then happily investigated the case together.

For three consecutive days, Xiao Jingheng stayed in the cell to interrogate people.

The Liu family members were delicate and tender, so they naturally could not withstand the interrogation. Unable to bear the pressure during the interrogation, they turned against their allies and confessed everything they knew.

It turns out that the Liu family not only fabricated the lie of savior, but also assisted the enemies in transferring stolen money, and was involved in many corruption cases.

Later, because the cooperation negotiations failed, Young Master Liu was murdered by his enemies.

At this moment, Chen Changli looked at the confession presented to him, his eyes fixed. The confession was rigorous and powerful, and did not seem to be false, so he also took it seriously.

"I thought the Liu family was just vain, but I didn't expect that it was related to the corruption case." He accepted the testimony and looked at Xiao Jingheng with a serious face: "I will report the evidence to the court, you keep an eye on the Liu family."

"Yes, my lord."

Xiao Jingheng bowed in response and watched Chen Changli leave before returning to the cell.

He dared not be careless as he was guarding such an important prisoner. Even when Shangguan Chu came to see him, he only met him briefly.

Two days later, Chen Changli came back with the court's verdict. All the members of the Liu family were sentenced to death and would be beheaded in the autumn. The county magistrate was also demoted by the court because he had condoned the Liu family's lies in his early years.

However, considering that he finally confessed, helped Chen Changli investigate the case, and Chen Changli begged for mercy, he was spared from prison.

The truth was revealed, everything was settled, and Chen Changli and Wan Shufang could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In the room, Chen Changli was giving Wan Shufang a massage. They chatted idly. Looking at her tired eyes and brows, Chen Changli couldn't help feeling distressed.

He gently rubbed her brows and praised her: "Madam is really amazing. This time we handled it so cleanly, thanks to your help."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang glanced at him in reproach, stretched out her hand to rub her waist, and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, I am old after all. I have been busy for only a few days and my waist and back ache."

"I can't even straighten my waist." She bent over and cried out in pain.

Seeing this, Chen Changli picked her up, laid her on the bed, and stretched out his hands to press on her.

He had excellent skills and was very familiar with the process, as if he was used to doing it, and he quickly pressed her down perfectly.

Wan Shufang sighed with satisfaction, smiled and gave him a thumbs up: "Chen Changli, your skills are getting better and better, you can open a shop."

"No, I only massage my wife. The Duke's Mansion has money to spend, so there is no need to earn so much money."

Seeing his anxious look to reject, Wan Shufang chuckled. Just as she was about to tease him, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Wan Shufang looked puzzled and waved her hand, asking Chen Changli to open the door.

She also sat up and tidied her clothes. The door opened and Shangguan Chu, wearing a pink skirt and with a sweet smile on her face, walked in from outside.

"Madam, sir, am I not disturbing you?" She called softly, her beautiful eyes looking into the house. Seeing the two of them shaking their heads, she handed over a big red wedding invitation.

"Madam, Jing Heng and I are going to get married in a few days." As she spoke, her face flushed and she felt a little shy: "This is the wedding invitation. Madam and the Lord have been very kind to me, so I would like to ask you two to be my witnesses."

Hearing this, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were a little shocked, but at the same time they were happy for her. The two of them had gone through a lot of hardships and now they had finally achieved their goal. It could be said that all the hard work had paid off.

Thinking of this, Wan Shufang accepted the wedding invitation with a smile and immediately promised: "Okay, don't worry, we will definitely go, and we will bring generous gifts."

"Hey, our Ah Chu has also grown up and is about to get married."

Wan Shufang touched her head lovingly, and all the things that happened in the academy kept emerging in her mind. To be honest, she had witnessed Shangguan Chu and his wife step by step, from knowing each other and falling in love to getting married.
