Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Cui Er said angrily:

"Madam, how can you confuse right and wrong like this!

What I said is the truth. If you have not done these things, why should you feel guilty?

What you and the Second Miss have done is beyond the reach of justice!

Whether this is true or not, just ask the butler and the servant and you will know."

Qin Minglang looked at the scene in front of him and made some judgments in his mind.

He picked up the silver bills and silver ingots and examined them carefully. Indeed, as Cui'er said, they had the mark of the Cui Mansion on them.

He turned to look at Mrs. Cui with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

Mrs. Cui was a little flustered by his gaze, but she still pretended to be calm and said:

"General Qin, this maid must have been bribed and is here to slander me on purpose."

Qin Minglang looked at her sarcastically and said, "Whether it is slander or not, let's wait and see what the housekeeper and the servant say."

He turned to the butler and the servant and said, "Tell me everything that happened back then, and I promise to be lenient with you. Otherwise, you will have to taste the torture instruments in the cell first."

Qin Minglang stepped forward, looked at the servant, and said sternly: "Is what Cui'er said true? Why did you chase Cui'er back then? Tell me."

When Qin Minglang shouted the last word, the servant was so frightened that his heart and liver trembled. He didn't have time to think and answered in a gurgle:

"To answer your question, Cui Er is telling the truth. Back then, the Second Miss asked me to take advantage of the fact that the First Miss was taking Chinese medicine and have sex with her, and then marry me or become a nun.

But I didn't see the eldest lady when I went there. Later, the eldest lady left. The lady was afraid that Cui'er would do something bad, so she asked me to kill her on the way back.

Who knew she jumped off the cliff? I thought she was dead, so I came back to report to my wife that everything had been done.

"Everything I said is true, please forgive me!"

Seeing that everyone had confessed, the butler also told the truth about what happened that year.

Qin Minglang took their evidence and said to them, "This is what you just confessed. Please sign and seal it!"

The three men looked as pale as death, knowing that there was no room for maneuver, and could only sign the indictment tremblingly.

Baili Ye came out and said, "The show is over, come out quickly."

I saw a young man in official uniform and several yamen runners coming out from behind the rockery.

They bowed and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Chen, Queen Daxia, Princess Jiahe, General Qin, and all the distinguished guests."

Qin Minglang looked at him and said with a smile: "Long time no see!"

The man came forward, hugged him, and said:

"Long time no see. I heard you might be back. I haven't seen you and I missed you so much.

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage, let’s have a drink together sometime.”

Qin Minglang looked at his former playmate Bai Minghua and felt very happy. He agreed, "Okay."

"Give me the confession first, I'll go and settle the matter for you and sister-in-law, and we'll talk later."

Bai Minghua took the confession from Qin Minglang's hand as he spoke.

"Come here, bring Madam Cui, Miss Cui II, and these three people to the Dali Temple. I want to see if there are still people in Dasheng who know the law and break it!"

When Mrs. Cui saw this, her face turned extremely ugly. She didn't expect that these people would betray her.

She pointed at them and shouted angrily, "How dare you, a traitor, frame me!"

Seeing the bailiff coming to pull her, Madam Cui collapsed to the ground, no longer caring about anything else, and said to Cui Linglong:

"Linglong, I am your mother. You cannot send me to the Dali Temple. This is extremely unfilial and will be ridiculed by others."

Seeing that she was about to be taken away, Mrs. Cui played the emotional card and resorted to moral blackmail.

Cui Linlang also cried and said:

"Sister, I was wrong. Please let me go. Don't let anyone take me away. I haven't found a husband yet. If I'm taken to the government office, I won't be able to survive."

Cui Linglong stood aside, tears welling up in her eyes again. She never expected that Mrs. Cui could be so cruel. She thought she was just drugged and framed, but she actually wanted to destroy her completely.

Qin Minglang took Cui Linglong's hand and said to everyone present:

"Today's events have been made clear. I hope everyone will stop believing the false rumors in the capital. If anyone bullies Linglong again in the future, I will not let him off easily."

Cui'er looked at Mrs. Cui's miserable appearance and felt very happy that her revenge was finally achieved.

Everyone present began to talk, expressing indignation and disgust at the behavior of Mrs. Cui and Cui Linlang.

"I never thought that Mrs. Cui, who has always been gentle and virtuous, could have such a vicious heart. I really can't believe it!"

"Yes, Mrs. Cui and Miss Cui look so dignified and generous on weekdays, but I didn't expect them to do such a thing behind their backs. It's really hard to judge a person by his appearance!"

"Mrs. Cui is so calculating towards the legitimate daughter for her own benefit. This stepmother is so terrible!"

"And Miss Cui, crying and sobbing, is so cruel at such a young age. If she had known this would happen, she would not have done it in the first place! She really deserves it!"

"It will be hard for such a child to find a good marriage in the future."

"But Miss Cui is really pitiful, having to deal with such a family."

"Fortunately, General Qin was wise and revealed the truth. Otherwise, I don't know how long I would have been kept in the dark!"

"The reputation of Madam Cui and Second Miss Cui is completely ruined. Let's see how they can survive in the capital from now on!"

"People like this should be severely punished. We can't let them do evil again!"

"Yes, they must pay the price for what they did! They will definitely get a beating!"

Mrs. Cui turned pale and slumped on the ground. She knew that her actions had been exposed and she would no longer be able to maintain the image she had worked so hard to build...

Madam Cui, Cui Linlang and their entourage were taken to the Dali Temple, where they would face a severe trial.

In the interrogation room of the Dali Temple, Mrs. Cui and Cui Linlang still tried to argue, but the evidence was conclusive and their arguments seemed pale and powerless.

The Dali Temple Minister looked at them sternly and said, "The evidence of your crimes is now irrefutable. What else do you have to say?"

Mrs. Cui, Cui Linlang and others looked as pale as death and lowered their heads in despair.

Finally, the Dali Temple pronounced their crimes. Madam Cui, the housekeeper and the servant were sentenced to 30 strokes of the cane and exiled to the frontier, while Cui Linlang was 30 strokes of the cane and confined to her house for three years. Cui Er was 30 strokes of the cane and sent back home to reflect on herself and not to help the tyrant in the future.

After Cui Linglong learned of the verdict, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

She looked at Qin Minglang with gratitude, and the two held hands tightly.

In the capital, people were still talking about the behavior of Mrs. Cui and Cui Linlang, and they became the objects of everyone's contempt.
