After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom
Chapter 138 Heart-killing
"boom!"
Li He's words struck Aunt Qiao, who had just finished putting on her clothes, as if struck by lightning. She staggered and bumped into the door frame.
"What did you say?!"
"Prepare the carriage and go to Jingzhao Yin!"
Bai Yanlang ignored her and walked forward quickly, while Aunt Qiao stumbled behind him.
When Mrs. Li, the eldest wife, heard the news of Bai Muchen's death, she was also shocked for a moment, "Are you sure he's gone?"
The butler nodded and said, "I heard from the messenger that the Third Young Master had a grudge with the two fraudsters. When they went in, the Third Young Master was already dead."
"The third brother always likes to make friends with all kinds of people, but now he is like this..."
Li couldn't help but sigh: "It's all his own fault."
The housekeeper asked, "Does the Marquis need to go over and handle this matter?"
Li was frowning and couldn't make up her mind for a while.
Bai Muchen has been expelled from the Marquis' Mansion and has nothing to do with them now, but the blood relationship still exists, and it would seem a bit inhumane if he didn't go.
Just as she was struggling, Bai Qingyu came out from the inner room wearing his coat.
"Go prepare the carriage. I'll go to Jingzhao Yin later."
"It's cold at night, and you're not feeling well, so why not ask Zhengnan to go."
Li stepped forward, put the hot water bottle in her hand into his, and smoothed his coat for him.
Bai Qingyu waved to the housekeeper, and waited for the housekeeper to leave before he said, "The old lady of the old Qiao family is in good health now, but I don't know how long she can live. If you want to separate the second and third rooms, you must make their homes restless."
Li's expression changed. "You want to--"
"No matter who caused Bai Muchen's death, the responsibility must be placed on Bai Youyou. With Aunt Qiao's personality, she will definitely not give up easily."
Bai Qingyu's eyes fell on the Suanni incense burner on the small table in the corner, his expression gloomy and dark.
At that time, that mischievous girl Bai Youyou came to me and asked me to expel Bai Muchen from the Marquis' Mansion.
This incident could have been used to pressure Bai Yanlang and make him agree to split the family, but who knew that when the time came, Marquis Yong'an returned the IOU.
It was all a waste of time and effort.
The opportunity is right in front of you. If you miss it, it may be difficult to come by again.
Li had been married to him for decades, and she knew what he meant with just one look.
She pondered for a moment, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Then I'll go back and tell the people below to relax a little."
"Well, you should change your clothes and come with me."
Bai Qingyu responded indifferently, went to the inner room to change his clothes, and took a carriage with Li to Jingzhao Yin.
The dark and damp dungeon was filled with a disgusting sour smell.
Bai Yanlang and Aunt Qiao had already arrived at the dungeon of Jingzhao Yin. They looked at Bai Muchen, who was lifeless on the ground, and cried heart-wrenchingly.
"My son——"
"The third one!"
Lord Xu and his men stood on one side, while on the other side the constables were escorting two people whose faces looked gloomy.
Hu Laizi didn't expect that he would die just by pushing Bai Muchen.
"My lord, it was Bai Muchen who came up to fight me first, and I just pushed him subconsciously, and who knew he would die."
"Yes sir, we really just pushed him gently."
Lord Xu glanced at them coldly and said, "If you just pushed lightly, how could the person hit the wall?"
It was also Bai Muchen's bad luck. There happened to be a protruding stone in the corner of the wall, and the back of his head hit the sharp corner exactly, killing him on the spot!
"He came up and started to beat us up. We were so anxious that we couldn't control our strength. We really didn't mean to do that. If you don't believe me, ask the other people in the cell. They all saw it."
Hu Laizi's face was pale. He pointed at the large group of prisoners in the cell behind him and said in a trembling voice.
Then those people just looked at him and no one responded to him.
Aunt Qiao hugged Bai Muchen and cried heartbrokenly. Now, hearing what the two said, she put down the corpse in her arms and pounced towards the two men.
"You killed my son, so I'll kill you!"
Lord Xu and the officials also hated the two culprits who brought him trouble. They just watched coldly as Aunt Qiao beat them, and no one stepped forward to stop them.
"what--"
"Help--"
Aunt Qiao had dug bloody marks on Hu Laizi's face. His hands and feet were tied, and he could only howl miserably.
Bai Qingyu covered his nose with a handkerchief and walked to Bai Yanlang with the help of Li.
Looking at Bai Muchen lying on the ground with pale lips, his eyes were red, "My poor nephew, how could such a good person die?"
Li also wiped her tears, "We should have stopped Youyou at the beginning. If we hadn't entered this dungeon, nephew Mu Chen wouldn't be in trouble today."
Bai Qingyu wiped his eyes and sighed, "We are all family, how could that girl be so cruel."
Bai Yanlang had no idea of their intentions and thought they were really feeling sorry for their son, so he immediately started to curse as well: "It's all because of that troublemaker. If she hadn't insisted on holding on to this matter, the third son wouldn't have ended up in jail!"
No jail, no death.
Aunt Qiao let go of Hu Laizi and the other man, her expression ferocious, "It was all because of that little bitch Bai Youyou. My son lost his life because of her!"
Lord Xu listened to what they said, his eyes swept across the faces of Marquis Yongning and his wife, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Did the Yongning Marquis and his wife say this intentionally or unintentionally?
It wasn't that girl Youyou who killed the person, so why are these two people implying the crime on her?
He couldn't help but say, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. The murderer has been arrested, and I will pronounce the verdict on a later date."
Bai Yanlang wiped his face and glared at him angrily, "Master Xu, my son was only imprisoned but not convicted yet. Now he's dead. You should give me an explanation for this matter!"
Upon hearing this, Lord Xu looked straight ahead, curled his lips and smiled coldly, "Lord Bai, your son is guilty of fraud, the evidence is irrefutable! Moreover, your son was the first to start the fight with Hu Laizi. The one who started it first is a lowly person, I won't complain even if you beat me to death!"
"What a crime of fraud!"
Bai Yanlang took out the IOU that Yong'an Marquis had given him and placed it in front of Lord Xu. "Yong'an Marquis came to apologize in person today, saying that this was all a misunderstanding. In this way, the fraud is completely false!"
"It's a pity that Lord Bai is a step too late." Lord Xu brushed his wide sleeves and said calmly: "If you had come a step earlier, maybe your son would have escaped from my prison and would not have been in danger of death."
Lord Xu's words are truly heartbreaking.
Bai Yanlang received the IOU in the evening, but he did not go to Jingzhao Yin immediately. Instead, he went to show off at Lu's place for a while, and then went to Aunt Qiao's place to show off for a while, and was affectionate with her for a long time.
If he...
If he had come to Jingzhao Yin first, would the current situation not have happened?
Bai Yanlang's face was pale, he felt dizzy and his vision was black.
