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

Humph, they are going to kill him to silence him, how could he possibly cover up for Prince Rong!

Mining iron ore without permission is a capital crime. Prince Rong would die if he killed him, and he will also die if the matter is exposed!

Bai Laosan was trembling and cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.

"Mining iron ore without permission is a capital crime punishable by execution of the entire family. If Prince Rong doesn't die, your entire Bai family will die."

Seeing that he was about to collapse, Bai Youyou continued to tempt him, "Think about whether to protect Prince Rong or your Yongning Marquis Mansion."

Prince Borong?

How can it be!

Bai Laosan gritted his teeth.

However, he still wouldn't believe Bai Youyou's words. "I don't know much about the Qingling Mountain incident, but the emperor asked Zhao Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice to investigate the case. Since he already has evidence, why not let Zhao Shangshu interrogate Prince Rong?"

"Prince Rong will naturally be imprisoned for questioning, but that is the responsibility of Minister Zhao. I did not send people to arrest you for that matter."

Bai Youyou glanced at the sky outside through the open window and guessed that the person who was supposed to come should be here.

Sure enough, the housekeeper came hurriedly to report that Old Mrs. Qiao and Bai Yanlang were outside the door asking to see him.

"Let them in."

Old Mrs. Qiao came in breathlessly, and seeing her third son tied up, she glared at Bai Youyou fiercely, "He is your third uncle, how can you be so ignorant of etiquette and have someone tie him up!"

Bai Yanlang also looked displeased, "Why don't you ask someone to untie your uncle!"

"Why don't you first ask what Mr. Bai San has done, and then think about whether to untie him."

Bai Youyou sneered.

She has nothing to do with the Yongning Marquis Mansion now, yet he still uses his status as an elder to order her around.

Bai Yanlang rebuked: "No matter what, untie your uncle first!"

Bai Youyou remained unmoved and continued to sit upright on the chair. She looked at the third son of the Bai family, "The Qingling Mountain Iron Mine was mined privately. The emperor was furious and ordered the Minister of Justice to investigate the matter. The third prince has been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice for this matter."

Old Mrs. Qiao also knew what happened in the court today. She frowned and said coldly, "This was done by the Third Prince. What does it have to do with your Third Uncle?"

Bai Laosan was also confused.

This was done by Prince Rong, how did it involve the third prince?

Bai Youyou raised his chin towards Bai Laosan, "Qingling Mountain originally belonged to Prince Rong. Prince Rong made a deal with the Third Prince over Qingling Mountain because of the murder case in Zhuang County, Qingzhou."

She didn't finish her words, but both Old Mrs. Qiao and Bai Yanlang turned pale.

Old Mrs. Qiao looked at Bai Laosan with a trembling voice, "Is what she said true?"

If Qingling Mountain belongs to Prince Rong, the third brother must be involved in this matter!

Bai Lao San still refused to give in, "Mom, she is just talking nonsense, don't believe her lies!"

"Master Bai, will you not cry until you see the coffin?"

Bai Youyou sneered and clapped her hands. Lu San walked in with a man who was also tied up.

When Bai Laosan saw that man, his pupils suddenly shrank.

This man was none other than the black-clad leader who was bitten by a snake that day. He went down the mountain to seek medical treatment that day and just managed to escape the disaster.

She knows her own son best. Old Mrs. Qiao noticed his expression just now and understood instantly.

This bastard, he really followed Prince Rong and did such a heinous thing!

Bai Lao San was still denying it, "What do you mean?"

"You don't know this person?" Bai Youyou sneered, "You don't know him, but he knows you."

"Master Bai..."

The black-clad man's snake venom had not yet been completely eliminated, his lips were purple, and the leg that had been bitten by the cobra was limping as he walked, and he could not stand steadily.

"He has confessed everything he should have confessed," Bai Youyou continued to lie to Bai Lao San with a confident look, "Jingzhao Yin has obtained all the evidence in the Qingzhou case, and is just waiting to report it to the court and hand it over to the Ministry of Justice on a chosen day."

"You will die in the Qingzhou murder case, but mining and selling iron ore is not something that can be paid for with just one life. If you can prove the case in Qingling Mountain, maybe the others in Yongning Marquis's Mansion can escape."

"Third brother, are you really involved in the Qingling Mountain incident?"

Bai Yanlang cherished his life the most. Hearing this, his eyes widened in disbelief. He grabbed Bai Laosan's collar and said sternly, "You bastard! Are you going to let our whole family die with you?!"

Old Mrs. Qiao's body was a little unsteady. She staggered back a few steps and leaned back on a chair to steady herself.

"You bastard, it has come to this, what else are you going to hide?!"

Bai Laosan was pressed to the ground by Bai Yanlang and was slapped on the face.

"You bastard, I didn't get any help from you when you were successful, but now that you've caused trouble, you want your whole family to die with you!"

Bai Yanlang was cursing, and old Mrs. Qiao looked at her third son, whose nose and mouth were bleeding from being beaten, and felt sorry for him, so she stepped forward and pulled Bai Yanlang away.

"Mom, this bastard is almost killing our whole family, and you're still protecting him!"

"No matter what, he is still your brother."

Old Mrs. Qiao wiped her tears and looked at Bai Youyou with red eyes, "Youyou, your father was confused in the past, but for the sake of our blood relationship, please save the Yongning Marquisate!"

Save Yongning Marquis Mansion?

Bai Youyou thought of the ugly faces of those people in the Marquis' Mansion, especially Bai Yaoyao, who was most likely the murderer who killed her fifth cousin. She wished she was dead!

However, she would not be stupid enough to break up with Old Qiao before Bai Lao San handed over the evidence.

Bai Youyou said in a soft voice: "Grandma, it's not me you should ask for help in this matter."

"What's the point of asking her for help?"

Bai Yanlang shouted from the side, "Hurry up and let the third brother atone for his crime, or we will lose our heads with him!"

After he finished speaking, he kicked Bai Laosan hard on the chest, "You didn't give us any benefits, and now I'm the one who's going to eat your money!"

Old Mrs. Qiao pulled away Bai Yanlang who was about to hit someone, and looked at her third son who was curled up on the ground with tears in her eyes.

"San'er, if not for others, you have to think about your two children!"

Old Qiao was trying to persuade Bai Laosan earnestly. Bai Youyou glanced at Bai Yanlang who was cursing at the side, then sat back in his chair leisurely.

Her actions today were intended to attract not only Prince Rong, but more importantly, old Mrs. Qiao.

Instead of going through all the trouble to get evidence from Bai Lao San, it would be better to let Old Qiao do it instead.

Mrs. Qiao knew her son well, and she attacked him by seizing his weak spot. "I am old, and I don't have many days left to live. If you die, I won't live alone. I will go down to accompany you."

"mother......"

Bai Laosan finally spoke, his voice choked with sobs and hoarse, "It is my son who is unfilial and has caused trouble for my mother."

"You've implicated more than just your mother!" Bai Yanlang shouted from the side.

Bai Laosan ignored the howling Bai Yanlang, struggled to sit up from the ground, and looked at Bai Youyou.
