You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?

“If your sister says so, then I, as a sister, can only accept my fate.

Your Majesty, in my opinion, you should not arrest the arsonist!

Lest people outside know that the thief is from our Du Mansion, and that he dared to assassinate the current queen mother openly, it would be a disgrace to the country's prestige."

Du Qingwan glared at Pang Shi fiercely, with disdain in her cold eyes, and an attitude of revenge.

In Pang Shi's subconscious mind, Du Qingwan has always been submissive, so when did she become so petty?

The moment he met her cold eyes, Pang Shi felt an unprecedented threat---

Du Qingwan actually learned to fight back.

"This……"

When Zhu Yunhao heard Du Qingwan say that, he was stunned.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Everyone present couldn't help but gasp, and each of them was thinking their own little thoughts in their hearts.

[Damn Du Qingwan, she actually learned to fight back!]

[It seems that I must find a way to stop the emperor from tracking down the arsonist today, otherwise my mother will be in trouble.]

Du Zhirou muttered to herself, her gloomy face became even uglier, and her brain quickly went blank.

He glanced at Du Qingwan unhappily, his teeth aching with hatred.

"Your Majesty, look, my sister has spoken. How about we just forget about it?

The Du Mansion is the general's residence, and Your Majesty and your sister live there.

The general's mansion suddenly caught fire, and it was aimed at my sister. It would not sound good to tell others about it."

Du Zhirou tried hard to follow Du Qingwan's meaning. Her purpose was very clear, which was to stop Zhu Yunhao from continuing to track down the arsonist.

But Zhu Yunhao didn't seem to buy it, he had his own ideas.

"Empress Rou, do you know something? Why are you so determined to oppose my pursuit of the arsonist?

I live with the Queen in your General's Mansion, and yet there are thieves who dare to openly murder the Queen. Isn't this a slap in my face?"

"General Du, this is your residence. What's your explanation?"

Zhu Yunhao's tone of voice was extremely cold and his expression was extremely ugly, as if he would not give up until he got to the bottom of the matter.

Upon hearing this, Du Lu was so frightened that his legs went weak and he said tremblingly:

"This old minister is terrified! Please Your Majesty, please look into this matter!"

Du Lu finished his words with a trembling voice, his head lowered and his heart in his throat.

Long Yan was furious, he couldn't imagine what would happen next.

"Okay! Put away your fear, I am the one who should be afraid!

If you still can't find out who murdered the queen within three days, then all of you in the Du Mansion must bring your heads to me!"

Zhu Yunhao was determined to dismember the arsonist, and no matter how Du Lu and Pang's mother and daughter tried to persuade him, he remained indifferent.

Du Qingwan pretended to be very aggrieved from beginning to end, but in fact she was already very happy in her heart.

To be honest, she was quite curious about how Zhu Yunhao would deal with the Du family in three days.

"Old minister, I obey the order!"

Du Lu did not dare to shirk his responsibility and immediately followed the order to track down the arsonist.

The old lady who had been silent on the side suddenly became upset.

She could guess with her toes who was the culprit behind tonight's arson.

But knowing it in your heart is one thing, but you can't lose too much face!

In the old lady's opinion, putting aside the fact that the fire in the General's Mansion was man-made, even if it was just an accident, Zhu Yunhao really shouldn't have forced Du Lu to pay for it with the lives of the entire Du Mansion, right?

What's more, Du Qingwan is just an unpopular deposed queen.

As far as the old lady knew, Zhu Yunhao had never visited Du Qingwan at all. Was it necessary to have the entire Du family buried with her?

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being frank. My Du family has been loyal to the court for three generations and has always been upright and incorruptible.

Tonight, an arsonist appeared in the mansion and nearly injured Wan'er. It was indeed caused by our improper defense in the Du Mansion. We plead guilty."

When the old lady said this, she struggled to stand up and slowly moved in front of Zhu Yunhao with her crutches.

His sharp eyes glared at Du Qingwan fiercely, and his tone gradually became colder, without any warmth at all.

"But Wan'er is also a child of my Du family. You want to bury our entire Du family with you for a mere arsonist. Isn't that a bit too unfair?"

For some reason the old lady was so confused that she actually talked to Zhu Yunhao about fairness on the spot, and she was convinced that Zhu Yunhao would give her some face.

But to her surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Yunhao coldly retorted her words.

"According to the old lady, if the queen and I were to die tragically in your Du Mansion, but the arsonist was allowed to go unpunished, would that be [fair]?"

When Zhu Yunhao said this, his last bit of patience disappeared and the anger in his eyes became even stronger.

He stood up suddenly subconsciously and quickly took Du Qingwan's hand.

"Queen, since no one here values ​​your life, please come back to the palace with me!

Du Lu, if you still can't give me an explanation within three days, I will bring the heads of your entire Du family to see me!"

"Return to the palace~"

After Zhu Yunhao finished speaking angrily, he gently took Du Qingwan's hand, ignored everyone's presence, and walked away.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Liu hurriedly shouted and left together.

"Farewell, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Everyone in the Du family quickly bowed their heads and saluted, everyone was extremely terrified.

It was not until Zhu Yunhao and Du Qingwan completely disappeared from his sight that Du Lu slowly raised his head.

Without saying a word, he slapped Du Zhirou hard.

Accompanied by a loud "pop" sound, an unprecedented pain came over her. Du Zhirou came back to her senses, her face full of grievance.

"Dad! Why did you hit me? I didn't start the fire!

Mother, look, Daddy beats me without any reason!"

Sure enough, the crying child gets candy.

After hearing Du Zhirou's crying, Pang Shi felt very distressed.

She hugged Du Zhirou tightly in her arms, stroked her long hair, her face full of heartache.

One can vaguely see some resentment towards Truth.

"Master, what are you doing? Rou'er has been with the emperor all the time. She has an alibi. She definitely didn't start the fire.

You beat our Rou'er without any reason, are you still her real father?"

Pang Shi was well-known in the Du family for his unreasonable behavior.

Even the old lady couldn't do anything about her ability to make trouble and she could even turn black into white.

Seeing that Du Lu was being PUAed by him again, Pangzi deliberately squeezed out two tears, and then started to complain with tears in his voice:

"Over the years, you kept saying that you cared about us, mother and daughter, but what happened?

In the end, you never considered us your wife and daughter. All you had in your eyes were Sun Xiaoyue and her daughter!"

As Pang Shi spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

So he wiped it with a handkerchief, his face full of aggrieved look.

Du Lu was already upset, and after hearing Ponzi's accusations, he completely lost his patience and his anger grew even higher.

"Are you done yet? I didn't beat her because I suspected she started the fire.

It's to teach her a lesson. If she doesn't know how to speak, then don't talk nonsense. It makes it seem like the fire was caused intentionally by our Du family!"

Du Lu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and felt really aggrieved.

He really couldn't figure it out. His general's mansion had always been heavily guarded, and not even a fly could fly in.

How did the arsonist do it?
