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

"What do you want to do with them?"

When Bai Yanlang mentioned the people from the Zhenguo Mansion, he felt a sense of resistance in his heart for no reason. "Lu and I have already divorced. It would be strange if they could help the third brother!"

They kicked Lu out of the house at first, and later wrote a letter of severance. If he went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion again, they would definitely chase him away with dogs.

"Now only the people in the Zhenguo Mansion can help the Third Brother. If you don't go, do you want an old woman like me to kneel down and beg for help?"

Old Mrs. Qiao looked anxious. Bai Yanlang brushed her hand away and stepped aside. "Even if my son goes to ask, they won't agree to help. Why bother to humiliate himself?"

"Are you just going to watch your brother go to jail?!" Old Qiao looked at him with bloodshot eyes, "He's your own brother!!"

Bai Yanlang curled his lips.

What's wrong with my younger brother? Since I was a child, this younger brother has always looked down on me and sneered at me.

I never thought about myself when good things happened, but now that something bad happened, I think of him.

"It's better to ask the Crown Prince for help than to ask the people in the Zhenguo Mansion. Yaoyao is highly valued by the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince takes action on this matter, it will only take a word."

"At the morning court today, Lord Zhao from the Ministry of Justice accused the Yong'an Marquis' son of various crimes. The Crown Prince will surely be implicated in this matter. What's the point of you looking for the Crown Prince?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Now that he was no longer an official of the imperial court, he could not get a lot of information. Bai Yanlang opened his eyes wide with disbelief, "What about the son of the Yong'an Marquis? Did the emperor punish him?"

"I heard that each of these charges carries the death penalty, and that the Marquis of Yong'an used the former queen's relics to exchange for his life."

Old Mrs. Qiao looked heavy-hearted. "But after the emperor sentenced him, Lord Zhao from the Ministry of Justice mentioned more than 30 murders in Zhuang County, Qingzhou. I'm afraid that the prince of Yong'an will be sad this autumn."

"The third brother is also confused. He wrote this case of family annihilation as a fire case. It's obvious that such a big thing can't be concealed. I don't know what kind of courage he has!"

"This is not what's important now. Something else is important."

"Besides this, what else did the third brother do?"

Bai Yanlang frowned.

If the family massacre was simply ruled as an accidental fire, it would at most be a crime of dereliction of duty. The worst that could happen is that he would lose his official hat or be demoted like him.

But looking at the panic in his mother's eyes, he suspected that there was something else he didn't know.

"Your brother..."

Old Mrs. Qiao hesitated to speak. The incident was dictated to her by Prince Rong, and no one had obtained solid evidence until now. She was not sure whether she could tell the second son.

Bai Yanlang was in a bad mood, "If you don't tell me, how can my son help the third brother?"

"Your brother..."

Old Mrs. Qiao looked at Nanny Huang in the room and asked her to go out and guard outside the door and not allow anyone to come in.

When there were no outsiders in the room, Old Mrs. Qiao came up to Bai Yanlang and said something in a very low voice.

Bai Yanlang was dumbfounded when he heard that.

"Is the Third Brother crazy?!"

"Prince Rong wanted the salt permits held by Marquis Yong'an, so your brother used that incident to frame Marquis Yong'an's son. But he was afraid that Marquis Yong'an would find out the truth and take revenge, so he ordered someone to kill the magistrate of Zhuang County to silence him."

Old Mrs. Qiao was so worried that her hair turned white. "It's just that Prince Rong sent someone to deliver a message today, saying that the county magistrate of Zhuang County is not only alive, but has also gone to the Zhenguogong Mansion."

Bai Yanlang looked at Old Mrs. Qiao in horror, "Mom, have you known about this for a long time?"

"I just found out this morning." Old Mrs. Qiao said helplessly, "It was your brother who found out that the people from the Zhenguo Mansion were secretly investigating him in Qingzhou. He was afraid that the people from the Zhenguo Mansion would find out, so he asked me to find an opportunity to test the waters."

When the third brother got into trouble, Bai Yanlang felt an irrepressible sense of pleasure in his heart.

He is two years younger than the third child. Ever since he can remember, the third child has been the only one favored by his mother.

What I heard most since I was a child was 'He is your younger brother, you should be more considerate of him'.

But they are both children, why should he give in in everything just because he is two years older?

Now that the third brother is in trouble, she is so anxious. She lost her official hat and was driven out of the imperial city, suffering a great injustice. Even though she knew about it, she never sent anyone to care about her.

He sighed, "Don't waste your time. No one can protect the third brother this time."

"Go and beg—"

"Mother, don't you know what kind of people the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion are like?" Bai Yanlang interrupted her sharply, "If they really knew, do you think they would bend the law for a stranger who has nothing to do with them?"

"The third one is Youyou's third uncle!"

"Third uncle?" Bai Yanlang sneered, "They don't even recognize me as their father, so why would they recognize a third uncle who looks down on them in every way?"

"If you hadn't done such a drastic thing in the first place, how could they have disowned you?" Old Mrs. Qiao said bitterly, "If you don't go and beg, I'll go by myself!"

"You were the one who made us divorce, and now you blame me."

Bai Yanlang sneered, "You know that if the people in the Zhenguo Mansion find out about this, the third brother will definitely be dead. Going to their house to beg for mercy now is just asking for humiliation!"

He calmly brushed off the dust on his shoulders and said, "This is the Third Brother's own destruction. It's useless to ask for help. You should ask the clay Buddha that you worship in your backyard every day."

After saying that, he just flicked his sleeves and left.

Why do you have to do such a capital crime that will cost you your head?

It is probably because he has been used to having everything go smoothly over the years that he doesn't know his own weight and does not take human life seriously.

If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. There is nothing perfect in this world!

The sky above was gloomy. A flash of silver lightning split the dark clouds, and a light rain began to fall.

The peach blossoms that were in full bloom just two days ago were now scattered on the ground, crushed into mud and turned into dust.

No one is good for a thousand days, and no one is good for a hundred days.

The person sent to investigate the third son of the Bai family returned to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion today to report.

The old lady and Lu Chen did not look too shocked after hearing what he said.

"Prince Rong has already surrendered to the Crown Prince," the old lady instructed Lu Chen, "Send someone to deliver these things to the Third Prince later."

"Grandson will go right away."

Lu Chen picked up his things and quickly went out the door to the villa of Prince Rong's mansion. Prince Rong frowned because of this matter.

"If this matter is exposed, our palace will be implicated."

The counselor of Prince Rong's mansion stood beside Prince Rong and glanced at him cautiously, "How about going to the Third Prince for help? The person is in the hands of the Third Prince. As long as the Magistrate Zhuang dies, everything will be gone without proof!"

"If there is no benefit that can move his heart, how can he help?"

Prince Rong was standing in front of the window, looking at the rain curtain falling from the eaves, feeling worried.

It’s not that the Third Prince had failed to show goodwill to him in the beginning, but now that he has boarded the Crown Prince’s pirate ship, it’s not so easy for him to get off.

"actually......"

The counselor hesitated to speak, and Prince Rong tilted his head and glanced at him, "Just say what you want to say."

"I have another plan, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
