Traveling through time and space, being replaced by a bride, happily married into a marquis's m

Lu Yundi sneered: "If that's the case, then you should go to the accounting office and receive 20 lashes as a warning to others."

The servant was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Madam, I really didn't say that, please have mercy!"

Yan Canglan frowned and said, "Madam, this matter is very serious and cannot be easily convicted. Why don't you let me investigate and see if I can find the real culprit."

Lu Yundi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, go check it out. But be careful not to alert the enemy."

Yan Canglan took the order and left, while Lu Yundi continued to interrogate other servants. However, until dark, the real murderer was not found.

As night falls, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion is brightly lit.

Lu Yundi sat in front of the window, feeling heavy-hearted. If this matter was not resolved, the relationship between her and Yan Canglan would become increasingly tense. And Yan Canglan would certainly doubt her intentions.

At this moment, Yan Canglan pushed the door open and walked in, looking anxious: "Mother, I have found out the truth, the murderer is that servant!"

Lu Yundi was stunned for a moment, then smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, now that the truth has been found out, he will be expelled from the mansion and will never be employed again."

Yan Canglan nodded and turned to carry out the order. However, as soon as he reached the door, he stopped and turned to look at Lu Yundi: "Mother, although this matter has been resolved, I still have doubts in my heart. Why did that servant frame me?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "This matter is probably related to the misunderstanding between you and me. However, it is not important now. What is important is that we must clear up the misunderstanding and restore peace to the Marquis' Mansion."

Yan Canglan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Mother is right. I will try my best to clear up the misunderstanding and restore the peace of the Marquis' Mansion."

After saying that, Yan Canglan turned and left. Lu Yundi looked at his back with a hint of relief in his eyes.

……

Lu Yundi glared at Pei Fukuan and asked Yan Canglan softly, "Canglan, what happened between you and Master Pei just now? Can you tell us about it?"

Yan Canglan's hair was messy at this time, and Pei Fukuan punched him several times in the face.

Yan Canglan raised his eyes, his eyes revealing deep helplessness. He shook his head gently, forced a wry smile, and then slowly spoke: "Just now, Master Pei and I had a pitching contest, he lost and refused to admit it, I argued with him, and he got so angry that he came to beat me!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yundi frowned slightly. She turned to Pei Fukuan with a serious and reproachful look in her eyes.

"Master Pei, what's the logic behind this? How can you hit someone just because you lost the game?" Lu Yundi's voice was soft but majestic.

Pei Fukuan stood there slightly awkwardly, his arrogance and arrogance from before had long disappeared. He lowered his head, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't know how to respond.

The princess slowly stood up from her seat at this time. Her eyes were cold. She glanced at Pei Fukuan and then turned to Yan Canglan: "Canglan, are you okay? Pei Fukuan is becoming more and more lawless."

Yan Canglan shook his head gently, trying to hold back the pain on his face, and smiled, "Don't worry, Princess. I'm fine. It's just that Prince Pei acted impulsively. Please forgive me, Princess."

The princess nodded slightly, turned around and said to Pei Fukuan, "Fukuan, listen to me carefully. From now on, if you behave improperly again, don't blame me for being rude."

Pei Fukuan’s face turned pale and he responded hurriedly.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall became awkward at this time, and everyone was whispering, expressing dissatisfaction with Pei Fukuan's behavior. Lu Yundi looked at Yan Canglan and couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.

"Canglan, you are a good young man. Pei Fukuan treats you like this, but you have no complaints. It is really admirable." Lu Yundi comforted softly.

Yan Canglan smiled, his eyes firm: "Mother, you are overpraising me. I just did what I should do. Although Master Pei was wrong, he was impulsive at the time. I don't blame him."

At this time, Ning Wan'er, the wife of the Crown Prince of the Princess's Mansion, came over. She looked at Yan Canglan with a trace of guilt in her eyes, and said softly, "Canglan, it's all because of my poor parenting that Fu Kuan did such a thing. I apologize to you."

Yan Canglan hurriedly said, "Madam, you are too serious. This matter has nothing to do with you. It is a small misunderstanding between me and Master Pei. You don't have to worry about it."

In the banquet hall, everyone came to comfort Yan Canglan upon seeing this, and at the same time expressed dissatisfaction with Pei Fukuan's behavior. Pei Fukuan stood aside, his face becoming increasingly ugly, and he felt extremely guilty.

As the night deepened, the banquet was about to end. Lu Yundi and Yan Canglan left the banquet hall together and walked along the path in the mansion.

"Madam, I'm sorry to have worried you about what happened today." Yan Canglan said softly.

Lu Yundi smiled and patted Yan Canglan's hand: "Silly child, have you ever made me worry? It's just that you have been wronged by what happened today."

The two continued walking along the path, the moonlight shining on them, making them look particularly warm.

……

"Nine Gates are arresting the wanted criminal. Everyone, don't move!"

Just as the princess reached the gate, two golden swords were suddenly placed in front of her.

She was so frightened that her legs almost went limp.

"How dare you! Do you know who I am?"

The owners of the two swords did not give in at all.

The eldest princess' voice sounded particularly sharp in the night wind. Her eyes were wide open, and there was unquestionable majesty flashing in her eyes.

"I am the elder sister of the current emperor, the eldest princess! How dare you two, ignorant people, disrespect me!"

However, the owners of the two swords remained motionless. One of them spoke coldly, with an unquestionable firmness in his voice:

"Your Highness, the Princess, the Nine Gates are arresting wanted criminals, and everyone is treated equally. Please cooperate, so as not to miss our important task."

The princess was so angry that her face turned purple. She had never met such a bold subordinate. She widened her eyes and was furious:

"How dare you! If I have committed a crime, I will be punished according to the royal law. How dare you, the people of the Nine Gates, interfere in my affairs!"

At this time, the supreme commander of the Nine Gates came out from the darkness. He was dressed in black, with a stern face and deep eyes. He walked in front of the princess and bowed slightly:

"Your Highness, please forgive me. This crime is of great importance, and the Nine Gates dare not slack off in the slightest. If I have disturbed you, please forgive me."

The eldest princess looked at the supreme commander and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

The Nine Gates is the most secretive department of the royal family, responsible for capturing important criminals of the court and criminals involved in major cases, but he never thought that he would become their target.

"I don't understand. What crime have I committed? What evidence do you have to prove that I have committed a crime?"

The Supreme Commander smiled slightly, with a hint of subtle cunning in his eyes:

"Your Highness, whether there is evidence or not will become clear when we return to the palace. Now please cooperate to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

The princess gritted her teeth. She knew she couldn't resist at the moment. She looked at the supreme commander coldly, then turned and walked into the mansion.

The supreme commander followed behind the eldest princess. Looking at her back, he secretly sighed in his heart: This eldest princess is indeed worthy of her reputation. Even at this moment, she still maintains a majestic demeanor.

Back in the mansion, the princess sat in the main seat, and the maids and eunuchs on both sides dared not make a sound. The supreme commander stood below, waiting for the princess to speak.

"Tell me, what crime did I commit?"
