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

Chapter 238 If you dare to play such tricks again next time, don’t blame me for not protecting you!

"Humph!"

Marquis Yong'an snorted coldly and looked away.

Outside the door, the butler trotted in, his face serious, "My Lord, this is bad!"

Yong'an Hou was still furious, and now that he heard the bad news, his anger suddenly flared up. He roared like a lion, "What happened again?"

"Someone has died in the case of the fourth young lady of the Bai family!"

After the housekeeper finished speaking, he glanced at Bai Yaoyao, whose face suddenly changed, and said, "Lord Xu has sent someone to summon Miss Bai to Jingzhao Prefecture for questioning. I'm afraid she has already arrived at Yongning Marquis's Mansion."

The princes and nobles are all in this area, not far away, and it's only two streets away to get over there.

The prince's face suddenly darkened, and he asked sternly, "What's going on?!"

The housekeeper told the news he heard outside the gate of Jingzhao Mansion one by one, "The person died in the Qiao family's farm, and the people in the farm have been arrested by Jingzhao Yin. I'm afraid this matter is..."

After the prince heard this, he heard a crunching sound from the roots of his teeth.

Yong'an Hou suddenly stood up from his chair and stared at Bai Yaoyao with hatred, his eyes as ferocious as a wild animal, "Little bitch, if anything happens to my son because of you, I will make your whole family pay with their lives!"

Bai Yaoyao originally wanted to use Jiang Hui to get rid of Bai Youyou, but she never thought that someone would die. She pinched her fingers and her lips trembled.

"How could someone die?"

The prince looked at the butler and asked in a deep voice, "Who died and why did he die?"

"Yes......"

The butler glanced at the Yong'an Marquis, and hesitated to speak. Finally, under the prince's angry glare, he whispered, "It was the girl who was in charge of the young prince Jiang. She was abused to death."

"This was done by Jiang Hui, tell me the truth!"

"Whether it is true or not, you have to ask the prince. Lord Xu did not mention it in court, and Lord Qiao did not mention the prince either."

The butler lowered his eyes and grimaced as if he had a toothache.

Judging from his temperament as a young master, it was most likely he who did it, there is no doubt about it.

"Spoiling a child is like killing him. I have said this before." The prince looked at Yong'an Marquis solemnly, "Uncle, instead of wasting your energy to protect such a playboy, you might as well think about how to leave a descendant for yourself!"

After saying that, he stood up, flicked his sleeves and left.

Bai Yaoyao did not dare to stay in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion at this time, and quickly followed the prince to leave.

In front of the carriage, the prince stood there waiting for Bai Yaoyao. When she came out, he said in a bad tone: "Next time you dare to play such tricks, don't blame me for not protecting you!"

Bai Yaoyao's foot, which had just been raised, suddenly paused. She watched the prince get on the carriage, leaving only his back to her. Tears welled up in her eyes in an instant.

How could he treat himself like this?

"Miss, it's someone from the government office."

From afar, Bitao saw Captain Liu and a yamen runner walking towards them quickly, and she quickly pulled Bai Yaoyao's sleeve.

Bai Yaoyao looked in the direction of her finger, her heart beating faster.

She suppressed the expression on her face, took the initiative to walk towards Captain Liu, and said with a faint smile: "I just heard from the servants that Jingzhao Yin summoned me for questioning, and I was just about to go over."

Captain Liu had no expression on his face, and only nodded slightly. "Our master has something to ask Miss Bai Wu for questioning. Please come with me."

When they arrived at the court, when Qiao Dongliang saw her, his eyes lit up instantly as if he had seen a savior.

He looked at Bai Yaoyao hopefully, "Yaoyao, are you here to save me?"

Bai Yaoyao brushed away his hand that was on her wrist and said in grief, "Uncle, I know you hate my elder sister for killing my mother and my third brother, but how could you do such a thing?"

"what?"

Qiao Dongliang was dumbfounded.

Bai Yaoyao wiped the corners of her eyes, her voice choking with sobs, "I know you want to avenge my aunt and third brother, but you can't use such extreme methods."

"you!"

Qiao Dongliang stared at her in disbelief.

Is she going to take all the blame herself? !

"My eldest cousin got married yesterday, and you haven't even waited for him to have a child and enjoy the joy of having children and grandchildren. How could you be so confused?"

Bai Yaoyao's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked very sad. "My aunt and the whole family are counting on you. What are you going to do with them in the future?"

Qiao Dongliang realized that she was threatening him with her entire family!

"boom!"

Xu Lingyun picked up the gavel and slammed it down.

"quiet!"

He raised his chin towards the master and said, "Take her to the side to copy the deed."

Bai Yaoyao followed the lawyer to the table nearby and wrote down the contents of the contract.

How could a modern person like her learn to write calligraphy like the ancients? Her handwriting was so crooked that it was unbearable to look at.

The master's cheek twitched, and he reminded her, "Miss, the master has taken your old handwriting from the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, so you should write well."

Bai Yaoyao looked innocent. "I was sick before, and my mind is a little confused and I can't remember anything. I even forgot how to write. This is the best I've ever written."

She really didn't lie about this. For the sake of her own face, this was the best handwriting she had tried to write.

The lawyer took the contract she wrote and handed it to Xu Lingyun. Xu Lingyun took it and looked at it, and his brows immediately frowned.

"Did you do this on purpose, or is your handwriting just like that?"

"Excuse me, sir. I was seriously ill a while ago and my memory is not good. I have forgotten the past, and I have also forgotten how to write."

Xu Lingyun picked up Bai Yaoyao's previous handwriting and compared it one by one. There was a huge difference, and there were even mistakes.

That contract was indeed not written by Bai Yaoyao, but by Xia He, the maid the prince gave to her. Only Bai Youyou's signature was her copy of Bai Youyou's handwriting.

It didn't matter who signed the contract at the moment. Xu Lingyun looked at Qiao Dongliang coldly, "You are an official appointed by the court. I have no right to convict you. I will report this matter to His Majesty and let the Ministry of Justice handle it."

The methods of the Ministry of Justice are not comparable to those of the Jingzhao Prefecture. Qiao Dongliang clenched his fists tightly, and his Adam's apple kept rolling.

Just as he was weighing the pros and cons, a blue-robed yamen runner came quickly with a stack of confessions.

"My lord, these are the confessions of those men."

Xu Lingyun took the confession and read it quickly one by one. After reading all eight confessions, he said sternly: "Captain Liu, take my token and go to Yong'an Marquis Mansion to arrest Jiang Guigui!"

Qiao Dongliang felt relieved when he heard this.

If Lord Xu finds out the truth himself, Marquis Yong'an can't blame him, right?

Bai Youyou on the side looked at Bai Yaoyao and pursed her lips in thought.

In the past, Bai Yaoyao would act up, but she was just being clever and scheming, but in fact, she was just a naive little girl.

Although the half-sister in front of him had the same face as her, her eyes were filled with a shrewdness that was not in line with her age.

It is impossible for a person to forget such a big change in memory unless——
