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

poor person must have something mean.

Bai Youyou looked at his skinny face and interrupted him, "I know you are the son of Granny Liu. Granny Liu used to serve Aunt Qiao. You just felt that you were going to die soon, so you accepted Aunt Qiao's money and wanted to use your life to exchange for Qiao Lao San's life and kill people for her."

She smiled coldly, "But why do you think that Aunt Qiao can kill Qiao Lao San to silence him, but can't kill Liu Pozi to silence her?"

"impossible!"

Xiao Ye subconsciously opened his mouth to refute, and after he finished speaking, he reacted and the look in his eyes was no longer as aloof as before, but alert.

"What's impossible?"

Bai Youyou's eyes were cold. "You must be familiar with Chunliu from Aunt Qiao's yard, right? She's dead. She died of poisoning!"

Bai Youyou slowed down her tone and sneered, "Guess why she, a little maidservant, died?"

"Miss Fourth, there is no need to deceive me. I am a worthless person, and death is not a pity."

Xiaoye grinned.

He originally worked under Aunt Qiao, but in a shop outside. However, his mother, Mrs. Liu, had been serving Aunt Qiao since she was a few years old. His mother had also told him what kind of person Aunt Qiao was. She was a person with a hypocritical heart and ruthless means.

But since he came here today, he would not think of leaving since he took money from others and helped them to get rid of their misfortunes.

Anyway, everyone is dead.

Xu Lingyun glanced at him calmly and said, "If you don't tell me, I will interrogate Granny Liu myself."

Xiaoye is already terminally ill and cannot be punished.

Xu Lingyun estimated the time and asked someone to bring Qiao Laosan's mistress over.

As soon as the woman arrived, she knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Sir, I didn't do anything wrong. It was all done by Qiao Lao San. I am innocent!"

After bringing her back to the government office, Xu Lingyun deliberately ordered people to lock her up in the torture room.

There were all kinds of torture instruments and blood that had dyed the mud red, which was enough to make a timid person collapse.

"Tell me everything you know. If you are not guilty, I will sentence you according to the law."

"All the women say it, all the women say it!"

"I am Huang Cuilian, a widow from Dahe Village at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. I met Qiao Lao San three years ago."

This matter concerns whether she can get out of prison, and Huang Cuilian dare not hide it. "At the end of last year, Qiao Laosan went out for a trip and bought a new load of firewood from somewhere."

"I thought he bought it for his own use, so I didn't take it seriously. But when I woke up that night, I found that he had secretly poured something on the firewood, and it had a strong smell."

As a country woman, she had never even seen tung oil before. Huang Cuilian frowned and tried to describe the smell, "It's a bit sour and smelly."

"I asked Qiao Laosan, but he just told me to shut up and gave me five taels of silver."

Huang Cuilian blinked her eyes, looking innocent, "As for the rest, I don't know."

After she finished speaking, she felt her stomach churning, and she covered her chest and began to dry heave.

"Ugh~"

Bai Youyou watched her vomiting non-stop, his eyes fixed on her abdomen, somewhat suspecting that she was pregnant.

"How long has it been since you had your period?"

"It's almost two months." Huang Cuilian reacted and was stunned for a moment, "I'm pregnant?"

"I'll have someone call a doctor for you."

Xu Lingyun felt that the baby in Huang Cuilian's belly might be the key to opening Qiao Laosan's mouth, so he immediately sent someone to the clinic to invite a doctor.

The doctor felt Huang Cuilian's pulse and confirmed the pulse. He then stood up and said to Xu Lingyun, "It's a pregnancy pulse. It's less than two months."

Huang Cuilian was not happy about the child. Instead, she looked as if the sky had fallen.

She is a widow, and her affair with Qiao Lao San was done secretly and without anyone knowing. Now that she has a child, will she be criticized?

Huang Cuilian grabbed the doctor's sleeve and said, "Doctor, I can't keep this child. Please prescribe me an abortion pill."

The doctor pulled back his sleeves and said, "I was asked by Lord Xu to take your pulse. If you want an abortion pill, go to the clinic yourself after you are released from prison."

"Master Xu..."

Huang Cuilian grabbed the hem of her clothes and looked at Xu Lingyun pitifully.

In this age of having many children and gaining more blessings, population is wealth.

Bai Youyou frowned, "Why don't you want this child?"

Huang Cuilian glanced at her sideways and muttered softly, "How can a widow like me have a child? Isn't this something that people would despise?"

"The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty do not say that a widow cannot remarry. You and Qiao Lao San should sign a formal marriage contract with the government."

"Now that Qiao Laosan has committed a crime, I can't keep my child anymore!" Huang Cuilian said bitterly, "I'm a widow with no labor force at home and only two acres of thin land. How can I raise a child?"

Xu Lingyun put his hands behind his back and said, "The crime committed by Qiao Laosan is not a capital crime. If he tells the truth, I will sentence him at my discretion."

Huang Cuilian is now 26 years old. Her ex-husband was an alcoholic and domestic abuser. She was pregnant before, but had an abortion due to the violence of her ex-husband.

If Qiao Laosan could be released from prison safely, she would not be unwilling to have the child.

"Sir, if Qiao Lao San confesses the truth, how long will he be sentenced?"

"Half a year."

"Half a year?"

Xu Lingyun's words brought a smile to Huang Cuilian's face instantly.

Half a year, when Qiao Laosan is released from prison, it will be just in time for her to give birth.

Huang Cuilian was overjoyed, "I will go and persuade him to confess."

"Take her to Qiao Lao San's place."

Xu Lingyun raised his chin, and the jailer beside him took Huang Cuilian towards Qiao Laosan's cell.

"Let's go out and wait for Granny Liu."

Xu Lingyun brought Bai Youyou back to the Jingzhao Yin compound.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Bai Luochuan wearing a green cloak and standing under the eaves, looking around.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Bai Youyou quickened her pace and walked in front of Bai Luochuan.

"Mother is worried about you, so she asked me to come and pick you up."

Bai Luochuan said gently, and bowed to Xu Lingyun who was walking with his hands behind his back, "Master Xu."

Xu Lingyun nodded at him, "Go in."

When Bai Youyou just found Xu Lingyun, Xu Lingyun sent someone to deliver a letter to Lu.

Lu originally wanted Cuizhu to bring people here, but when Bai Luochuan heard that they were going to find Xu Lingyun, he volunteered to take the job.

He followed behind Xu Lingyun, with undisguised admiration in his eyes.

Bai Youyou also saw it, she smiled and said: "Uncle Xu, my brother will take the exam to become a scholar in February this year. Since you have nothing to do now, why don't you give him some advice?"

Xu Lingyun paused and turned to look at Bai Luochuan, "Are you ready to take part in the February exam?"

"Ah."

Bai Luochuan clenched his hands nervously, as if he had seen his beloved, and his face instantly turned red.

"Come in, I'll test your knowledge."

When facing Bai Luochuan, Xu Lingyun was not as gentle as Bai Youyou. When he frowned, his majesty was revealed.
