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

"She took the blame on herself, most likely because she was coerced by Aunt Qiao." Lord Xu nodded in praise, "Otherwise, how could a servant like her admit to such a heinous crime that could cost her her life."

"Uncle Xu, please send someone to check on Nanny Zhang's family to see if anyone has gone missing in the past few days."

Apart from the threat from her family, Bai Youyou couldn't think of any reason why Zhang Momo would risk her own life.

Lord Xu clapped his hands and said, "Just stay calm and recover. I'll send someone to handle this matter later."

"Take good care of him. You don't have to worry about the case. Your uncle will follow up the whole process and will definitely bring the thief to justice and seek justice for you!"

Lu Zhenguo's voice was rough, and he tried his best to control it, for fear of scaring his little niece.

Bai Youyou pursed her lips and smiled, "It's rare for uncle to come back, so you should spend more time with grandma and aunt. Uncle Xu can handle this matter, so you don't have to worry about it."

Lu Zhenguo glanced at Xu Lingyun with a sour look, but thinking that he would have to leave for the border right after the New Year, he agreed, "Okay, uncle will accompany your grandmother and aunt, but uncle will also send someone to keep an eye on this matter and will definitely not let anyone take advantage of it."

"Well, thank you uncle."

"Why are you being so polite to your uncle? Take a rest. Let's go to the front and take a look."

Lu Zhenguo took Xu Lingyun to the front hall again, and Captain Li walked over quickly with Taoist Zhang's confession.

"Sir, look."

Xu Lingyun took the confession from his hand, read it carefully, and was a little surprised.

Everything else was similar to what he had guessed, but he didn't expect that Zhang Momo also had bad intentions of her own.

"General Lu, take a look."

He handed the confession in his hand to Lu Zhenguo, who was craning his neck to peek at him.

"Let me see."

Lu Zhenguo took it seriously, and after reading it all, his expression became grim.

"Mother Zhang originally wanted to use Taoist Zhang's hand and the evil spirit to drive Youyou out of the mansion. I didn't expect that someone would use her as a knife to kill someone and even hold a handle on her." Xu Lingyun's eyes were full of sarcasm, "None of them is a good person."

He wanted to curse that there was not a single good person in the Marquis' Mansion from top to bottom, but Bai Youyou and Lu were also included, so he changed his mouth when the words came to his lips.

Lu Zhenguo snorted coldly, "This mansion is full of hypocritical people! How dare a little slave dare to want to harm the master!"

I should have let my sister divorce and return home earlier, so that she wouldn't have to live in this cruel place for so many years.

Lord Xu took back the confession in his hand and asked Captain Li beside him, "What about Aunt Zhang's?"

Captain Li frowned. "She refused to answer any questions I asked her. She just said that she did it and she pleaded guilty."

Lord Xu was not impatient. "Take your men to find Zhang Momo's son and see if anything happened at home."

"Yes."

Captain Li immediately took his men away.

On the other side of the corner, Chunliu crouched down and quietly left.

"Aunt, Lord Xu really sent someone to check on Zhang Momo's family."

Aunt Qiao was sitting in the room. After listening to Chunliu's words, a smile appeared on her thin lips.

"Investigate? Even if they investigate, they won't find anything."

Aunt Qiao played with the jade pendant in her hand, smiling proudly.

She had not kidnapped Zhang Momo's eldest grandson. The jade pendant was just something her good-for-nothing grandson took out to pay off his money in a gamble.

However, this jade pendant can fool people for a while, but not forever.

Aunt Qiao was just about to say she wanted to go to Songtao Garden when Nanny Wang's voice came from outside the house: "Aunt Qiao, the old lady wants you to come over."

"What a chance."

Aunt Qiao put away the jade pendant, stood up and walked out of the house.

She followed Wang Mama to Songtao Garden, and the old lady immediately dismissed the people around her, "Madam Wang, close the door."

"aunt."

Aunt Qiao knelt down and bowed. Without waiting for the old lady to say anything, she twisted her waist and walked to the empty chair next to old Mrs. Qiao and sat down.

The old lady paused while spinning her Buddhist beads, and suddenly raised her drooping eyelids, staring at her coldly, "You did what happened to Taoist Zhang."

She spoke in the affirmative rather than in the question.

Aunt Qiao gathered up her hair and smiled brightly, "Aunt has good eyesight."

"Do you know the consequences of your crime being exposed?"

"Of course I know. Aren't you here to find your aunt to deal with the aftermath?"

Aunt Qiao smiled wickedly.

In the past, she pretended to respect this old thing, but after she accidentally learned about that incident, she was no longer afraid of her.

Old Mrs. Qiao frowned and said in a cold voice: "Although you are my niece, you are plotting to murder my legitimate daughter. I can't help you!"

"No, Auntie, you can help me."

Aunt Qiao gave a meaningful smile and said, "If you can't help me, I will go find the Marquis."

"what do you want to say in the end?!"

Old Mrs. Qiao had a bad feeling in her heart. She suddenly clenched the peach wood Buddhist beads in her hand and stared at her.

"Aunt, you are really very clever."

Aunt Qiao was too lazy to play guessing games anymore. She looked straight into her eyes which were as cold as a poisonous snake, and her smile suddenly faded.

She leaned close to Old Mrs. Qiao and whispered softly, "If the Marquis knew what you put in his medicine, tell me - can you still be a noble old lady in the Marquis's family?"

From the moment she prepared to kill Bai Youyou, she had already calculated everything.

It wasn't that she was stupid before, she just didn't want to do those things.

Now that she has lost the favor of her husband and a son, she doesn't mind showing off all her former claws!

When Old Mrs. Qiao met her playful eyes, her pupils suddenly contracted.

"When did you find out?"

"Thirteen years ago, when you went to Jishiditang." Aunt Qiao did not hide anything and said with a smile.

Old Mrs. Qiao pursed her lips tightly and looked sharply at Aunt Qiao in front of her.

She thought her niece was just a fool trapped in love, but she was wrong.

"Since you know my secret, why are you telling it now?"

Aunt Qiao looked at her like a fool and sneered, "Aunt, others may not know what kind of person you are, but I know it very well."

She brushed off a piece of white hair that had gotten on her skirt and said to herself, "If I had told you then, I'm afraid I would have died of an inexplicable disease soon, right?"

A lady who is only a fifth-rank minor official, even if she is legitimate, cannot become the second wife of a first-rank marquis.

If she hadn't used some tricks, how could she have entered the gate of Yongning Marquis' Mansion.

When she was at home, she had often heard those old maids talk about her thoughts and methods, which were very vicious!

Old Mrs. Qiao's face was as gloomy as water. "You were timid before, but are you really brave today? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to leave my Songtao Garden tonight?"

"Aunt, if I'm not fully prepared, do you think I would do something like murdering my daughter?"

Aunt Qiao raised her eyebrows and smiled.

Her three children had been in constant trouble these days, and she was extremely worried about it. In addition, her third child was suddenly killed, and she had trouble sleeping at night these days.

At this time, Aunt Qiao's eyelids were dark and her expression was haggard. Her smile no longer had a trace of the charm of the past. Instead, it looked like a ghost from hell claiming her life!

Old Mrs. Qiao's breathing stagnated as she looked into her dark eyes, and a chill suddenly ran up her spine.

After a long time, she turned her head and started turning the peach wood Buddhist beads in her hand again.

"Go back."
