After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

“It’s hard to have both.”

After Lord Xu finished speaking, he tilted his head to look at the corpse on the ground and said meaningfully: "However, the wicked will be punished by God."

After the coroner finished examining the body, he stepped forward and reported, "Sir, the cause of death has been determined. It was drowning."

Lord Xu waved at him.

The coroner retreated, and the official in charge of the Rejuvenation Clinic also came on horseback at this time.

He handed the doctor's consultation record of Liang Xiucai from Huichun Clinic to Lord Xu, "Liang Xiucai was seriously injured and has not yet regained consciousness. This is the doctor's consultation record."

Lord Xu took it and looked through it carefully, then put it away.

"Liang Jinyu is a heavy drinker. Go check if Liang Jinyu drank alcohol this morning."

"Yes."

The officer took the order and left.

Lord Xu looked up at the sky, ordered his men to take the body back to Jingzhao Yin, and then said to Bai Youyou: "It's getting late, you should go back early too."

"Then Uncle Xu, we'll leave first."

Xu Lingyun was stunned by Bai Youyou's address. After he realized what was happening, he smiled and waved at her, "The road is slippery, ride slowly."

Bai Youyou and Qiao Bing rode their horses to the Rejuvenation Clinic, took out five taels of silver and gave it to the medicine boy, asking him to help take care of Liang Xiucai and his brother first, and then left with Qiao Bing.

Along the way, Qiao Bing was worried.

Bai Youyou tightened the reins in her hand, and when he came over, she stared at him fiercely, "Do you want to die like this?!"

"I......"

Qiao Bing opened his lips, wanting to say something but stopping himself. "How about I just turn myself in."

Bai Youyou looked cold, "Do you regret it now? What did you say when I stopped you before?"

"I don't regret killing that beast. I'm just afraid that the truth will get out and implicate you."

"Don't worry about my business. Just remember that the man got drunk and fell into the pool by mistake. This has nothing to do with you."

Bai Youyou squeezed the horse's belly with her legs, and the white horse raised its hooves and ran forward quickly with a "da da da" sound.

When they returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Lu and Bai Yanlang were sitting at the table, both of them pursed their lips, with extremely ugly expressions.

Bai Youyou took off her white cloak and threw it to Xiaoju, then asked in a low voice, "What happened at home again?"

Xiaoju glanced back and curled her lips, "It was the master who insisted that Madam return to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and ask the old lady to ask the Marquis of Yong'an for mercy."

Bai Youyou's expression turned cold when he heard this.

He doesn't know the feeling of oppression unless a knife is hanging over his head!

Bai Yanlang shamelessly waved at her, "Youyou, come and persuade your mother."

"My brother's surname is Bai, not Lu. He is less likely to be a Zhenguo Duke and less likely to be a Yongning Marquis."

Bai Youyou sneered, walked to sit next to Lu, peeled an orange and placed it in front of her, "Mom, I will take care of my brother's affairs. Don't get angry with him. It will only harm your health."

Lu took the fruit, broke off a piece of orange and stuffed it into her mouth. While eating, she complained angrily: "Your father is such a black-hearted man. He knew that my Zhenguo Mansion was in a dilemma, but he still forced me to go back and beg your grandmother for help. My own mother supports my parents, and he asked my mother to go and beg for help. How dare he be so shameless!"

"My father-in-law is in a high position and my mother-in-law is of noble status. If anyone else goes, they won't have the face of my mother-in-law."

Bai Yanlang sighed and advised in a gentle voice: "Luochuan was born after you went through ten months of pregnancy and pain. Do you really want to see him forced to death?"

"Who dares to force him to death?"

Bai Youyou poured herself a cup of tea, took a big gulp to moisten her throat, and then sneered at her sanctimonious father, "If you are afraid that he will implicate you, why don't you just divorce my mother, and my brother and I will follow my mother to start our own business. Whether we are rich or poor in the future, it has nothing to do with you."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Yanlang glared at him, and said angrily, "How can you persuade your parents to divorce at every turn?"

"You didn't even tell my mother to go back and ask my grandmother for help yesterday, why did you change your mind today?"

Bai Youyou ate an orange and looked at him, her eyes full of ridicule.

This man is the most selfish. He knew clearly what it meant for someone from the Zhenguo Mansion to show up, but he still insisted on persuading Lu to go back. Something must have happened that was more beneficial to him.

Thinking of the ending of Lu's family in the book, a dark light flashed in her eyes, "Who did you go to see today?"

Bai Yanlang met her sarcastic eyes and looked away guiltily, "I'm worried about your brother, what are you thinking about."

"Are you worried about my brother or are you doing this for someone else? You know it very well."

Bai Youyou threw away the orange peel in her hand, her expression suddenly turned cold, "But if you set your sights on my mother and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between father and daughter!"

"You damn girl!"

Bai Yanlang was frightened by her cold and stern look, and his heart trembled. He stood up suddenly, his face turning blue and red.

"It's really outrageous!"

His chest heaved violently, and he wanted to grab the teacup on the table and smash it to the ground to show his majesty, but his heart was weak, so he gritted his teeth and could only leave in a huff.

"Xiaoju, go and follow him secretly and see where he goes."

"Eh!"

Xiaoju immediately ran out holding up her skirt.

Bai Yanlang was very angry and was originally heading towards Aunt Qiao, but after thinking for a while, he headed towards Songtao Garden.

Xiaoju watched him enter Songtao Garden and immediately went back to report to Bai Youyou.

"Miss, the master went to the old lady's yard."

Bai Youyou held the brown sugar tea that Yang Momo had prepared for her in her hand, and lowered her eyes in deep thought.

old lady?

Why did she instigate Bai Yanlang to persuade her mother to go back to find her grandmother?

With the prestige of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, even if it cannot bring them greater benefits, it will definitely not do them any harm. Why would she do this?

Bai Youyou was puzzled. Over there, Bai Yanlang sat next to the old lady and complained angrily, "Mother, Lu will never agree to this. Please think of another way."

"Lu has always been stupid. It must be Yang Momo who is beside her who taught her."

The old lady turned the string of mahogany Buddhist beads in her hand, which had been polished to a glossy sheen. She raised her drooping eyelids, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. "Zhang Momo, think of a way to make that old thing behave for a few days."

For her, deciding life and death was as easy as eating and drinking, which made Bai Yanlang feel a chill down his spine.

"Mom, why don't we think of another way? If Lu knew about this, there would be a huge uproar."

"A woman's kindness will never lead to great things!"

The old lady glanced at him with an extremely indifferent look, and her tone was full of undisguised disappointment.

She had given up on this son long ago.

Whether he is cruel in his heart or kind in the eyes of others, he will be just like his father all his life, living a mediocre life and never achieving anything great!

"Mom, I..."
