Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

The secret guard's words made the two men's expressions freeze. Too many things had happened in the past two days, and they didn't know what the secret guard had found out.

Thinking of this, Wan Shufang no longer cared about arguing with Chen Changli. Instead, she looked at the secret guard and asked, "What's the matter?"

Hearing this, the secret guard was slightly stunned, but still replied respectfully: "Madam, there is news from the county magistrate's mansion that you asked your subordinates to investigate earlier."

At this moment, he slightly raised his head, and Wan Shufang realized that it was indeed the person she had sent to the county town before. She quickly waved her hand, motioning him to continue, "Didn't you say everything was fine before? How come there is suddenly another clue?"

"To answer Madam, we only checked the county magistrate before and didn't check anyone else. Little did we know that there was actually a young master in the county magistrate's mansion."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang was so shocked that she took a breath. After all, it had been so long, and she didn't know when Shangguan Chu had a younger brother. Before she could ask, she listened to the secret guard continue.

"The young master is the child of the county magistrate who was having an affair outside. He was brought back not long ago, so there is no news from the Shangguan Mansion. A few days ago, the young master was secretly taken to his villa in the capital by Liu Mochen."

"He threatened Shangguan Chu with his younger brother's life, forcing her to poison him, and then pinned the blame on Zhao Yue, saying it was Zhao Yue who coerced her. After all, this was Miss Shangguan Chu's only blood relative, so she had no choice but to agree."

After these words were spoken, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were already filled with anger. They broke off a branch in anger and threw it hard on the ground.

"Liu Mochen is really great. He dares to do these things. He must be tired of living." Wan Shufang gritted her teeth and cursed angrily, but the next second, she saw the secret guard's face look ugly.

He hesitated for a moment, then interrupted Wan Shufang's thoughts: "Madam, Master, I've actually found something else."

"The reason why Liu Mochen is so arrogant is because he has a relative who is an official in Beidi, and he also has many relatives in the capital, so he can play both sides."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang couldn't help laughing. She was so angry that she laughed. Her body trembled slightly: "Yongzhou City, they really dare to accept anyone."

"Chen Changli, if the termites are not removed, the people will not be at peace. Do you still think that we should not take care of this matter?" Wan Shufang was extremely angry and immediately decided to intervene. She looked at Chen Changli, but her tone was unyielding.

Chen Changli also knew that once Wan Shufang made a decision, no one could change it.

Helplessly, he could only nod in agreement, only thinking of sending more people to her when the time comes to prevent her from suffering any grievances or danger.

After receiving his approval, Wan Shufang suppressed her excitement and ordered the secret guard with a cold face: "Go now and collect the evidence. This time, I will never let Liu Mochen escape again."

"Yes, ma'am, I'll take my leave."

The secret guard received the order and left in a hurry. Wan Shufang also felt relieved and pulled Chen Changli to continue digesting the food. It was not until the second half of the night that the two returned to their room to rest.

Early the next morning, part of the secret guard's evidence was presented. She immediately took the token of the Duke's Mansion and the secret guard and broke into Liu Mochen's villa in the capital.

In another courtyard.

The attendants fought desperately, but Wan Shufang showed her token and shouted, "I am the wife of the Duke of the current dynasty. I have been ordered to investigate the case. Why don't you let go immediately?"

Hearing this, the Liu family guards looked at each other, but were obviously hesitant. When they saw clearly that the token was indeed the token of the Duke's Mansion, the group of people tacitly stepped aside.

Seeing this, Wan Shufang put away the token and led her men straight to the inner courtyard. As soon as they entered the inner courtyard, they heard the sound of beating and the crying of a little boy.

Wan Shufang subconsciously quickened her pace, and soon, the cursing inside penetrated her ears.

"You little bastard, it's good enough that I gave you food. What's wrong with asking you to eat while lying down?"

"Humph, I'm going to ask you to lick my shoes. If you don't, I'll gouge out your eyes and cut off your tongue."

The man's threatening words made Shangguan Yu tremble all over and couldn't help crying. However, the man was annoyed by the noise and hit him hard with a thin willow branch.

He was extremely cruel, and in an instant, the skin and flesh were torn apart.

"Ah! Ooooh!"

The little boy started crying and looked very miserable. This scene deeply hurt Wan Shufang's eyes. She kicked the door open, flew forward quickly, and kicked Liu Mansion's confidant away.

He then held Shangguan Chu's younger brother in his arms and looked coldly at the man lying on the ground eating dust: "How can you be called a hero if you bully a child?"

"Who are you?" The man was furious and was about to rush up to hit her, but his leg was broken by the secret guard.

"what…"

He screamed miserably, and the next second, Wan Shufang raised the token high and said calmly: "I am the wife of the Duke, Wan Shufang."

"Come here, arrest all the prisoners in the other courtyard and bring them back to the Duke's Mansion for placement."

At her command, the black-clad secret guards immediately took action and took everyone under control. The moment they saw the token of the Duke's Mansion, the Liu family's confidants knew it was all over.

His lips kept trembling and he kept begging for mercy from Wan Shufang, but Wan Shufang turned a deaf ear to him and simply tied him up and brought him back home to interrogate him.

It’s a pity that she didn’t catch Liu Mochen this time, but she was in a hurry to save people and had no time to make any plans.

The next morning.

After the Third Concubine's house arrest ended, she began to appear in public again. When she heard that Shangguan Chu often went to the Duke's Mansion to ask Wan Shufang for prescriptions, she was very unhappy.

At the dinner table, she deliberately spoke in a sarcastic tone, mentioning Shangguan Chu: "Old Madam, if you ask me, our young lady's heart is completely devoted to the Duke's Mansion. She keeps running there every other day."

"If you don't know, you might think she's the daughter-in-law of the Duke's Mansion. After all, those two big men are not without children, so it's normal for them to have wives and concubines."

As everyone knows, Wan Shufang's children all have families. She deliberately mocked them by comparing Shangguan Chu to a concubine and indirectly calling her worthless.

These words were also heard by the people at the dinner table. Everyone looked at each other, each with their own ulterior motives.

Only Old Madam Xiao was peeling an orange. Upon hearing this, she calmly broke off a slice and put it in her mouth. The sourness made her teeth grit their teeth, but she still said, "Third wife, if you have nothing to do, you can go to the warehouse to count the charcoal for the winter."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Third Aunt's face froze. She instantly understood that Old Madam Xiao was going to protect Shangguan Chu, and she felt even more dissatisfied.

It was obvious that Shangguan Chu was not born into a high-class family, was unlucky, had an affair with another man, and was not liked by the old lady.

She originally thought that the only person she could suppress in the mansion was Shangguan Chu, but she didn't expect that Shangguan Chu was now with Wan Shufang and was about to step on her head.

But no matter how much resentment she had in her heart, after the old lady's warning, the third concubine did not dare to say anything more, for fear that she would accidentally anger the old lady.

"Everyone, eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold and won't taste good." She smiled awkwardly, said a few words, and then buried her head in eating.

Seeing that she was obedient, the old lady's eyes flickered and she took another bite of the orange.
