The Liang family's housekeeper escorted the servant out of the house and gave him a silver note worth one hundred taels. The servant left happily.

When the butler returned to the study, he asked in confusion: "General, why don't you just -" He squinted his eyes and gestured in front of his neck with his hand.

Liang Weifeng shook his head: "No need, just do as he says and report to the police first. Didn't he say that the guys at the Huichun Clinic can escape, but the temple cannot."

"Yes, General." The butler bowed and clasped his fists.

"Let's go and see my second daughter-in-law." Liang Weifeng's eyes flashed coldly, and he stood up and walked out of the study.

The butler followed him and called two servants.

When they arrived, Yu Lingling was the only one left in the main room, kneeling on the ground. Her voice was hoarse from crying, and it was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.

Liang Weifeng frowned. If it was true as the clerk at the Rejuvenation Clinic said, Yu Jing's daughter was an excellent actress. She must have learned from Yu Jing. He remembered that Yu Jing was very good at pretending.

No matter who saw this scene, it would be hard for them to imagine that a person who cried so miserably could have poisoned her newlywed husband with her own hands.

"Woooooooo..."

Yu Lingling was still crying bitterly.

When she heard the footsteps, she felt an inexplicable panic in her heart and her right eyelid kept twitching.

Liang Yong, the beast, did not do more disgusting things to her in public. After saying "get used to it", he left the hall. She guessed that he went back to his room to change clothes, after all, she had vomited all the food she had eaten in the morning onto him.

I just got to take a breath, but unexpectedly someone else came, and I had to pick up my heart again, having just let go of my worries.

Yu Lingling originally thought that it was Liang Yong who was too fast, but she didn't expect it was Liang Weifeng. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't Liang Yong.

But at this moment, Liang Weifeng said coldly: "Catch him."

Yu Lingling was extremely confused.

Who to arrest?

Before she could figure it out, she was pinned down by two servants. Yu Lingling's breath was choked, fear flashed in her eyes, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Father-in-law? What, what does this mean?"

Liang Weifeng snorted coldly: "Someone has accused you of murdering your husband."

Yu Lingling froze in place, then struggled hard. Her already hoarse voice suddenly broke, sharp and piercing: "Father-in-law, I didn't--"

The two servants who were escorting her were indifferent, and she could not sway them at all.

Xiaoqin, who was kneeling behind her, felt her heart in her throat. She couldn't help trembling, her eyes full of fear.

The housekeeper saw her strangeness, frowned, and said to Liang Weifeng: "General, there is something wrong with the maid of the second young master's wife."

Liang Weifeng looked at Xiaoqin.

Yu Lingling also turned to look at Xiaoqin at the same time. The ferocity and threat in her eyes made the already frightened Xiaoqin so scared that her legs went weak and her whole body began to tremble.

The clue suddenly appeared, Liang Weifeng was furious: "Take them away! Take them all away!"

"Yes!"

The butler waved his hand, and two servants came in and arrested Xiaoqin.

"Take him to the Dali Temple for interrogation." Liang Weifeng went out first.

The butler followed.

Four servants followed Yu Lingling and Xiaoqin closely.

……

"One hundred taels?" someone exclaimed, raising a finger.

The secret guard dressed as a servant said proudly: "Yeah, you are envious, right?"

Chang Di curled his lips and said, "Liang Weifeng is too stingy. His son's life is only worth one hundred taels?"

He patted the dark guard's shoulder and shook his head: "If you ask me, I think you're at a disadvantage."

When the secret guard heard this, he stopped being so cocky. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had lost out. He clapped his hands together and quickly agreed, "Yes, it's a big loss!"

He asked Chang Di for advice: "Do you think I should make another trip and ask for a few hundred more taels?"

Chang Di nodded vigorously: "We must go, go now!"

The secret guard turned around and was about to leave.

Du Heng on the side hurriedly reached out and grabbed him, "Why are you going? Don't worry about whether it's a loss or not, the real thing is to go back and report the situation to the Crown Prince's Consort."

The secret guard gritted his teeth and punched Chang Di, then flew into the gate of Xinyuan and went straight to Shang Tingli who was sitting on a stone pier in the yard.

Chang Di was screaming in anger behind him.

"Your subordinate Feiying greets the Crown Prince's Consort." The secret guard Feiying greeted Shang Tingli.

Shang Tingli said, "No need to be polite."

Feiying: "Thank you, Princess."

"came back?"

Ke Xin walked out of the study.

"Master." Feiying clasped his fists and bowed.

Ke Xin asked, "How?"

Feiying then recounted what he had done at the Liang family: "I entered the Liang family as a clerk at the Huichun Clinic. Following your and the Crown Prince's Consort's instructions, I informed Liang Weifeng of Yu Lingling's poisoning of Liang Shen, and received a hundred taels of silver."

After saying this, he handed over the silver note.

Ke Xin: “…”

Shang Tingli: “…”

[This...isn't he also a tough guy? ]

Ke Xin closed his eyes and looked up at the sky. He covered his left ear with his left hand, but he still heard her next words with his right ear: [Is this what it means for a subordinate to follow his master?]

"..." Subordinates are subordinates, and masters are masters. What do you mean subordinates follow their masters? He didn't agree.

Shang Tingli smiled and said, "Since Liang Weifeng gave you this hundred taels, just take it."

Feiying: “Yes.”

Gan Tang leaned close to Fang Zhi's ear and said, "Could this Fei Ying be Chang Di's biological brother?"

Fang Zhi couldn't help laughing.

Du Heng, who could hear it, couldn't help laughing. Only Chang Di stared at him: What are you talking about?

"I didn't come back right after I left the Liang family." Feiying continued to report, "I stayed outside the Liang family for a quarter of an hour and saw with my own eyes that Liang Weifeng ordered people to take Yu Lingling and her maid to the Dali Temple, and then I came back to report."

Ke Xin glanced at him.

Feiying hurriedly said: "I have confirmed that there is no tail."

Ke Xin nodded: "You can leave first."

"As ordered."

Before Feiying left, he waved a hundred taels of silver in front of Chang Di and Du Heng, looking very proud.

Chang Di was furious: "Don't sleep too deeply tonight, kid!" He wanted to steal everything from him and let him show off.

Feiying scratched his ears and pretended not to hear anything, then he walked away in stealth.

After he left, Ke Xin sent Du Heng and Chang Di away, and Shang Tingli also sent Fang Zhi and Gan Tang away.

There were only two of them left in the yard.

The two sat facing each other, but remained silent.

While Shang Tingli thanked for the tea, he was thinking about how to start the conversation appropriately.

In fact, she didn't want to tell him at first, and called Du Heng to the west room, intending to let Du Heng do it. Unexpectedly, after she told Du Heng, he stopped Du Heng.

She thought he was going to go back on his word, but he said that Du Heng was his, and if he followed him in the open, someone must have remembered Du Heng's appearance, so Du Heng was no longer suitable to do such a thing.

Yes, even though she hadn't told him, he had already guessed what she wanted Du Heng to do. It completely overturned her perception of him - was this still the stupid prince she knew?

Shang Tingli took a sip of tea.

She sighed quietly in her heart, perhaps, she had never known any stupid prince, that was just her stereotype of him.

Afterwards, it was Ke Xin's idea to let Feiying go to the Liang family instead, and it was also Ke Xin's idea to let Feiying go as a waiter at the Huichun Clinic to inform on the family.

Shang Tingli recalled this and couldn't help asking, "Then isn't the prince afraid that Liang Weifeng will go to Huichun Clinic to kill people? What if he finds out that Feiying is not a clerk there and he digs three feet underground to find Feiying?"

Ke Xin was very calm.

He said, "Who in Shangjing City dares to do it in public? Even if he found out that Feiying was not a clerk at the Huichun Clinic, he might not be willing to look for a needle in a haystack. Since he has taken the man to the Dali Temple, I believe the result will be out tomorrow. He has found the murderer of his son, what reason does he have to kill people to silence them?"

[If Liang Weifeng has already surrendered to the Fourth Prince, and my uncle has designated the Fourth Prince as his faction, then the two of them have become in-laws with the idea of ​​"making the relationship closer", so they might not doubt that someone is framing them so that they can become enemies, right? ]

[Even if Yu Lingling is indeed the real murderer, doesn't Liang Weifeng want to know who Feiying belongs to? ]

Shang Tingli thought about this and asked, "What if Liang Weifeng insists on knowing Feiying's identity?"

Ke Xin was silent for a moment.

"Then let him know."

"Um... what do you mean by know?"

[Should you ask Feiying to directly admit that he is your man, or should you ask him to pretend to be the second prince or the crown prince's man? ]

Shang Tingli secretly criticized in his heart.

Ke Xin immediately replied: "Let Liang Weifeng think Feiying is Brother Lingzhou's man."

Shang Tingli blinked: "Why?"

[It should be said that the Second Prince can bear the blame. ]

Ke Xin smiled brightly: "I guess that Marquis Yi Zhong, that is, your uncle, has secretly become a member of the Fourth Prince's party, and he is willing to become a relative of Liang Weifeng, so Liang Weifeng must also be a member of the Fourth Prince's party. If someone deliberately tried to sow discord, I think it was the Second Prince's handiwork."

Shang Tingli pretended to be puzzled: "Why isn't it the work of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Ke Xin made a move.

Suddenly he stared at her and said in a serious tone, "What if I say I'm a princeling?"

Shang Tingli: “…”

Do I look like a three-year-old?

[You are obviously a member of the Fourth Prince's party, so stop trying to make me laugh. ]

[The reason you didn't frame the crown prince is simply because the fourth prince also framed the second prince last time. And now you want to frame the second prince, it must be because the second prince found out the truth and hit back at the fourth prince.]

Shang Tingli felt that this was it.

What she was thinking about was the matter between Ke Yi and Zhao Chengzhi.

Ke Xin almost laughed out loud.

He was telling the truth, but she not only didn't believe him, but she actually took the initiative to make excuses for him? And she made such a brilliant one!

Ke Xin simply didn't know what to say, so he had to change the subject and bring up her story: "How do you know that Liang Yu didn't die suddenly after drinking?"

Shang Tingli said, "Secret."

She thought for a long time, but didn't know where to start, so she tried to get away with it.

Ke Xin didn't hesitate. He just nodded at her and stopped asking questions.

Shang Tingli was extremely surprised.

[If I don't tell you, you won't ask? This is not like your personality. ]

Ke Xinyu snorted in his heart.

She didn't say anything, but couldn't he listen to her? Who was he looking down on?

Shang Tingli didn't know what he was thinking. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling happy.

[It would be best if you don't ask further, so I don't have to find excuses to lie to you. ]

Ke Xin clicked his tongue and shook his head when he heard this.

……

As Ke Xin said, we know the result today.

Shang Tingli had just finished his breakfast and went to the courtyard when he saw Ke Xin coming back from outside. He said directly, "Your second cousin's husband, who is still not warm, was indeed poisoned by your second cousin. The Dali Temple has already issued a result."

"So fast?"

She had thought it would be at least afternoon.

Ke Xin said, "He is in jail right now. Liang Weifeng wants to fight for his life, but your uncle is the one who is holding the line. The Dali Temple has not issued a final verdict yet."

Yu Jing was willing to do his best to protect Yu Lingling. Shang Tingli couldn't tell whether this was unexpected or expected.

Looking back, Yu Lingling was able to challenge Yu Lanxi because Yu Jing gave her the confidence, because Yu Jing not only doted on Yu Lanxi, but also loved Yu Lingling. But the doting over the years seemed to be lacking in taste - he allowed his eldest daughter to marry a sixth-rank guard willfully, and allowed his second daughter to marry a bad man.

How much favor is there in it?

But today, after Yu Lingling was imprisoned for murdering her husband, Yu Jing was able to protect her.

Shang Tingli didn't know when she smiled, her lips curved in irony. After all, no matter how much love she received, it was not something her niece could enjoy.

"Although Marquis Yi Zhong tried his best to protect her, your cousin probably won't end up well. She will probably spend the rest of her life in prison."

Although Ke Xin said this while shaking his head, his tone did not contain any regret, but rather a tone of gloating.

Shang Tingli's mouth twitched unconsciously.

Ke Xin looked at her and smiled wantonly: "Aren't you going to visit?"

Shang Tingli said, "Of course I will go."

[Who doesn't know how to kick someone when he's down? ]

[If Yu Lingling didn't have such bad intentions, I wouldn't have taken action.]

[I remember that in her last life, she lived a comfortable life. She poisoned her devilish husband who beat her all day long, and she not only did not go to jail, but her life was also safe. She was not a widow either, and Liang Yong doted on her sister-in-law very much.]

Ke Xin's eyebrows jumped when he heard this.

What a mess?

"I won't say any more to you."

Shang Tingli turned around and went into the bedroom.

She came out not long after, having changed her clothes. She wore a round-necked red and orange brocade gown, and her black hair was tied in a crown, looking clean and fresh.

The Tianzhao Kingdom did not stipulate that women could not wear round-neck robes. For convenience, many women wore round-neck robes when they went out.

"Fangzhi, Gantang, let's go."

Shang Tingli left the new garden with two maids.

Ke Xin looked at her from behind and sneered. After a short while, he also stood up and went out of the yard.

……

In the dungeon of Dali Temple.

It was clearly daytime, but it was dark and damp, and the air was filled with mist and seemed to carry the smell of decay and corpses.

The yamen runner who brought Shang Tingli in lit the oil lamp in the corridor. The dim light illuminated the corridor vaguely, but it was still eerie.

Shang Tingli frowned and took a look around the place.

"Princess, we're here."

The bailiff led her to the cell where Yu Lingling was imprisoned, then took his leave.
