After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

When the officials from the Jingzhao Prefecture arrived at the He residence, Concubine Yu was about to pack her valuables and escape when He Wen and Madam Xu, along with a group of people, blocked her at the back door.

Upon seeing a group of constables, Liu Yu'er collapsed to the ground, her delicate face pale.

"It's over!"

When Xu opened her bundle, she found it contained jewelry and other items that He Yulin had given to Qin Wanning.

"Hmph! Liu Yu'er, ill-gotten gains, I'm afraid you won't live to enjoy them!"

The officials from the Jingzhao Prefecture immediately tied Liu Yu'er up with ropes.

Before being dragged away, Liu Yu'er struggled and begged He Wen and Madam Xu: "Master, Second Madam, everything is here, I don't want it anymore, please spare my life!"

He Wen walked up to Liu Yu'er, and thinking of his son's inhuman appearance, kicked Liu Yu'er in the chest.

Liu Yu'er's body swayed suddenly, and she almost couldn't catch her breath.

He Wen angrily said, "You dare to harm my son? Tell me honestly, who told you to frame my son at Zuixianju that day?"

After a while, Liu Yu'er caught her breath and said tremblingly, "I don't know. That person only told me in advance that Young Master He would be drinking at Zuixianju that day, and that if I wanted to rise to the top, I had to seize the opportunity. But seeing Young Master He like that, I... I don't want to anymore."

He Yulin has lost her mind, and it all started because of her. She doesn't know what will happen if things are exposed.

Rather than gambling on an uncertain future at the He residence, it's better to take the money and leave during the downpour.

She just didn't expect that the He family would catch her red-handed.

"So, nothing happened between you and my son that day?"

Liu Yu'er knelt down, her face pale, and nodded tremblingly: "Yes, sir, I only took off our clothes, I didn't have time to do anything else, please spare me!"

After saying that, he kowtowed to He Wen, begging for mercy.

He Wen didn't look at Liu Yu'er.

He regrets it.

If he had been a little more sober that day and had the scene investigated thoroughly, his son wouldn't have suffered such an undeserved disaster.

He Wen took a deep breath and said coldly to the constables, "This woman ruined my son's reputation first, and then stole from me. I ask you all to take her on a tour of the capital to clear my son's name."

After speaking, he looked at Madam Xu.

Madam Xu immediately understood and asked the old woman beside her to bring over the silver notes.

"Gentlemen, here are five hundred taels of silver notes. Please take her around the city."

One hundred taels of silver per person!

This is more money than they could earn in a year as government officials.

The leading constable bowed respectfully: "Master He, Second Madam, rest assured, we will definitely clear the young master's name completely!"

The other officers immediately dragged Liu Yu'er away.

"Master, Second Madam, spare my life!"

"Master, Second Madam, spare my life!"

……

Outside the mansion, a torrential downpour quickly drowned out Liu Yu'er's voice.

The constables wore raincoats and straw hats, while Liu Yu'er was only wearing a thin summer shirt. As soon as she was dragged out onto the street, her clothes were soaked through and clung to her body, revealing the mandarin duck pattern on her shirt.

The constables, having received their bribes, were doing their duty. They deliberately led Liu Yu'er through crowded areas. More than hearing about how she had been scorned for harming the Grand Secretary's grandson, she couldn't stand the way men stared at her body.

She wanted to leave, but the constables insisted on pulling her in front of the crowd.

After she had endured enough humiliation, the constables dragged her to the next location.

After traveling through the entire capital and returning to the Jingzhao Prefecture, Liu Yu'er was already half dead.

He Wen told Madam Qin and Qin Wanning everything about Liu Yu'er.

Madam Qin looked surprised.

"You're saying Liu Yu'er was instructed by someone to deliberately let him into the He residence?"

He Wen nodded, "Yes."

He hoped that Qin Wanning would rekindle her past relationship with He Yulin because of this.

Qin Wanning wasn't too surprised by the result, after all, she knew He Yulin's character.

Apart from that, there was nothing else on her face.

As expected, it was the same.

He Wen didn't press the matter further and told the mother and daughter what had happened at Zuixianju.

Upon hearing that Qin Lang was injured, Madam Qin and Qin Wan Ning did not hesitate at all and immediately took a carriage back to the Qin residence in the rain.

In their hearts, no one is as important as Qin Lang.

He Wen returned to He Yulin's room alone.

After Qin Wanning comforted him, He Yulin's spirits improved considerably. He stopped struggling and just lay quietly.

As expected, all of his son's problems stemmed from Wan Ning.

He Wen's hands, already somewhat dry and wrinkled, grasped He Yulin's hand.

The father and son hadn't been this close in a long time. As a father, he had been immersed in the pain of losing his wife, forgetting that his son and daughter had also lost their mother.

If he had noticed these things earlier, would his son and Wan Ning have ended up like this today?

"Yulin!"

He Wen's voice was old and mournful, as if it came from the wilderness.

"You did nothing foolish at Zuixianju that day. It was just a facade created by Liu Yu'er in an attempt to climb the social ladder. She admitted it herself. Now the people from the Jingzhao Prefecture have taken her away and are clearing your name throughout the capital. Don't worry, Wan Ning won't blame you."

Upon hearing this, He Yulin remained lying down without speaking or moving, but his eyes gradually filled with tears, which then slid down his cheeks.

The rainstorm lasted for several days, occasionally stopping for a while or the rain would lighten, but most of the time it was torrential rain.

The temperature outside also dropped sharply, just like spring or autumn, so it was very warm to stay in the bedroom at this time.

When Yan Qing had nothing to do, he would come to play chess with Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu would also come over to warm himself up.

Su Lingyue would sometimes accompany them, but she would get tired of it after a while. So she would ask Li Jing and Cai Die to sit around the stove in the Furong Pavilion, brew tea, do needlework, and chat about the gossip of the capital.

On the evening of the fifth day, the rain that had been falling for several days finally stopped.

The sun broke through the dark clouds, illuminating the long-suppressed capital city. People who had disappeared from the streets eagerly poured out, and the capital city returned to its former prosperity and liveliness.

Under the eaves of Furong Pavilion, the setting sun shines on the vermilion corridor.

When Yan Qing knocked on the door of the main room of Furong Pavilion, holding a red brocade box, Xiao Yu was lying in a rocking chair reading a book.

"Your Highness, this is the hairpin you asked to be made for the Princess."

Xiao Yu took the brocade box, opened it, and saw that it was indeed exquisitely made. The hairpin made of lotus root and lotus stem was both unique and delicate. The lotus seeds in the small lotus pod swayed but did not fall out, and the lotus flowers were lifelike.

Xiao Yu closed the brocade box and said calmly to Yan Qing, "Don't tell the Princess about this yet. I'll give it to her when the time is right."

Yan Qing grinned, "Your Highness, rest assured, I understand."

The prince used to not even glance at women, but now he's no different from any other married man in the capital, always trying to please his wife.

The changes are not small.

However, as long as the prince is happy, he is willing to run errands for the prince for the rest of his life.

After Yan Qing left, Xiao Yu took the brocade box to the study alone.

He found a wooden box in a hidden compartment in the study, then sat down at the table, opened the box, took out a carving knife, and began to modify the hairpin that Yan Qing had brought back.
