Forcing me to raise a concubine? The mistress of the Marquisate has gone mad

The hot potato was back in the hands of the Dali Temple, and the study of the Dali Temple Chief was brightly lit late at night.

"Master, it's so late, why don't you rest first?" The lady felt really distressed when she saw that the Dali Temple Minister was still staying in the study room with a frown until almost midnight.

I’m not young anymore, how can I withstand such hardship?

"You go to bed first, no need to wait for me." The Dali Temple Minister waved his hand and continued to look at the file in front of him.

These are all records about the Li Qingzheng case back then. So much time has passed. How easy is it to find clues from them now?

The lady left with a sigh. Before leaving, she told the servants to ask the kitchen to prepare food so that the master would have nothing to eat when he was hungry at night.

She is old and can't bear it anymore.

I just hope that this case can be solved as soon as possible, so that her master won’t have to work so hard.

After his wife left, the Dali Temple Minister locked himself in the study. From the shadows outside, he could see that he was always sitting at the desk, studying files.

The servant guarding the door did not dare to disturb him because the adult was very sensitive to noise and would be displeased by the slightest noise.

So he tried to stand as far away as possible so that he would not miss the adults' calls, nor would he disturb the adults by being too close.

And on the chair in the study at this moment was actually the dummy he had prepared long ago - just his clothes hanging on a wooden shelf.

"See ma'am."

Behind the paintings in the study, there is a hidden small door leading to a secret room underground.

At this time, the Dali Temple Minister, who was still working day and night to check the files in the eyes of outsiders, appeared in the secret room. In front of him stood a woman in a cloak, with a veil covering her face, so her face could not be seen clearly.

The Dali Temple Minister actually didn't know her identity, but everyone called her Madam.

The Queen Mother's token is in her hands, which means that all of the Queen Mother's power will be taken over by her.

"Madam, the Emperor has handed this case over to me. According to the previous files, the evidence that can be found on the surface is equivalent to nothing." He was not pretending when he was there just now.

As early as when he received these files, the Dali Temple Minister had already examined them carefully.

After all, so much time had passed, and there were so many people involved at the time, and the emperor also made arrangements, so the evidence to convict Li Qingzheng was flawless!

"We have all the evidence and witnesses, but what if they are all overturned?" Shen Ruoyan said calmly. She already knew that nothing could be found in the original files.

The reason why Li Qingzheng was able to be convicted and taken the blame so quickly was because there were account books showing him accepting bribes, and there was someone who identified him - his childhood sweetheart and first wife.

Who could believe that the person next to Li Qingzheng would actually betray him?

The account book was personally reported by Li Qingzheng's wife. She also personally pointed out that Li Qingzheng accepted bribes at home, and she could tell the time, place and people who gave gifts. They even found out that those people had indeed been to Li Qingzheng's home when they investigated later...

"As long as we find his wife, there's a chance he'll change his confession."

The Dali Temple Minister looked embarrassed. Li Qingzheng's wife had disappeared after he was beheaded.

He sent people to inquire, but there was no sign of his wife, whether in his wife's hometown or any familiar places.

Looking for someone now is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is really too difficult.

"Madam, I am not trying to shirk responsibility. It is just that Li Qingzheng's wife disappeared so strangely, as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth overnight. It would be very difficult to find her now."

In fact, in his heart, he was more inclined to Li Qingzheng's wife, who was no longer in this world.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Li Qing was wrongly accused.

No matter what the reason was for his wife to betray him, the moment she made the choice, she was already standing against him.

The people who bribed her would never really let her go - keeping her would mean leaving the case in danger. These people went to so much trouble to let Li Qingzheng take the blame.

How is it possible that the only truth is allowed to remain in the world?

"I understand your concerns, but I have found clues about her." The reason why the Dali Temple Minister did this was because before Shen Ruoyan came, he had already received news from the secret guards that they had found the whereabouts of Li Qingzheng's wife.

Upon hearing this, the Dali Temple's eyes widened, "Really?!"

Shen Ruoyan nodded, "Although it's not confirmed yet, but judging from the time and the figure, it should be correct."

When she decided to use Li Qingzheng's case as the first step, she had already sent people to review the original case.

The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple was the chess piece in the open, but behind the scenes, there were many more people who had already begun preparing to overturn Li Qingzheng's case.

Including those assassins, their power is far greater than Shen Ruoyan imagined. Although this was not expected before, as long as their goals are the same, why can't they cooperate?

They really want to overturn Li Qingzheng's case, and have never given up on finding the truth for so long.

Therefore, they were the first to find the whereabouts of Li Qingzheng's wife.

"Our people have already gone there. Just focus on the case. I will handle the rest for you." Shen Ruoyan knew that it was not easy for the Dali Temple Chief Justice to hold on.

Everyone has his or her own obsession in his or her heart.

And now, it is time for the Dali Temple Chief to fight for his obsession!

"Madam, rest assured, I will do my best!"

A new light reappeared in the eyes of the Dali Temple Minister. He had not felt this passionate for a long time since the Queen Mother passed away.

Although the emperor had his share of ridiculous behavior in the past, the empress dowager was able to suppress him.

The atmosphere in the court was not like it is now. Everyone is scheming against each other, and those who really do things have no chance to come to the fore.

Although the Queen Mother was just a woman, her greatest strength was her ability to know how to use people.

Everyone can find their own strengths with the Empress Dowager. These people entered the court one by one. After her death, some lived in disgrace like herself, while others were radical and were suppressed by the emperor.

But these people are like weeds on the grassland. Once the wind blows, they will spread like wildfire!

The appearance of "Madam" once again gave them the motivation and hope to persevere——

No one wants to be a real waste. Once they seize the opportunity, what they will show is an unstoppable offensive!

Li Qingzheng is just the beginning. She wants to make those people return back what was taken away from her one by one!
