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

Li Ergou hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know her, but I have seen her."

Bai Jingting became even more curious.

Bai Youyou is a noble lady from a prominent family, and Li Ergou lives in a dilapidated area in the north city. How could he have met Bai Youyou?

"Where did you meet her?"

Li Ergou still remembered his grandfather's instructions. He pursed his lips and shook his head, "Grandfather didn't allow me to say it."

After all, he is still a young boy, and everything he is thinking is written on his face.

Bai Jingting took him to the teahouse next door and ordered a lot of fruit snacks for him. "I used to come to this teahouse often. The snacks there taste good. You should eat more."

Li Ergou looked at the beautifully shaped pastries on the table and gulped. When Bai Jingting told him to eat, he picked up a piece and quickly put it into his mouth.

He ate voraciously. Bai Jingting poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of him. "Eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll order more."

"Thank you, Master Bai!"

When Li Ergou had almost finished eating, Bai Jingting deliberately sighed heavily.

"Master Bai, what's wrong with you?"

Li Ergou swallowed the pastry in his mouth and looked at him cautiously.

"Do you know who that woman was?"

"I don't know."

Bai Jingting sighed heavily again, "She is my cousin, her name is Bai Youyou."

Li Ergou blinked his clear eyes and looked at him. Bai Jingting continued, "She relied on her grandfather's status as the Duke of Zhenguo and acted arrogantly in the mansion. I was bullied by her many times."

"She bullied you?"

Hearing that Bai Jingting was bullied, Li Ergou was immediately filled with righteous indignation. He clenched his fists and said, "She is a bad woman. I saw her kill Li Xiucai's father before!"

"You saw her kill someone?!" Bai Jingting was shocked by Li Ergou's words, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Ok!"

Li Ergou threw his grandfather's words behind his mind and nodded heavily, "In the winter of the year before last, I saw with my own eyes that she and a lame man pushed Li Xiucai's father into the pond next to Li Xiucai's house!"

Bai Youyou killed someone? !

Bai Jingting's breathing became heavier and his heart was beating wildly.

If he used this information to threaten the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and asked them to hand over the Yunnifang recipe, would they agree?

"Master Bai, what's wrong with you?"

Li Ergou looked at his excited and flushed face with some worry.

"fine."

Bai Jingting calmed himself down, took out a silver ingot and put it on the table, "Ergou, see if there is anything else you want to eat, just order it yourself. I remember I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave first and come to see you in two days."

Bai Jingting returned to the mansion as quickly as possible. As soon as he stepped into the door, he met the serious-faced Lu Chaorui's eyes.

"mother."

His eyes flickered and he shouted in a stammering voice.

Lu Zhaorui glared at him with a cold face, "You still remember to come back!"

Bai Jingting lowered his head and walked to her side. He pulled her sleeve and said in a low voice: "Mother, I know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again."

If he doesn't take the initiative to admit his mistakes, his mother will keep nagging him. His ears are now callused from hearing her all these years.

Lu Zhaorui wiped her eyes, her eyes full of disappointment, "You lost your grandfather and your father, I thought you had grown up and become sensible."

It's the same thing again.

"Mom, I really know I was wrong."

Bai Jingting was a little impatient, but he still suppressed his temper, knelt on the ground, and pretended to be sincere.

"My son was just too bored, so he went out for a walk to get some fresh air. Don't worry, my son will study hard and earn a good reputation for you in the future!"

While saying this, Bai Jingting was actually laughing at himself in his heart.

His grandfather and father were both criminals. Now he is the descendant of a criminal, and I don’t know what kind of books he is still reading.

Lu Chaorui only has this one son, so how could she bear to blame him?

She pulled Bai Jingting up and said solemnly, "North City is full of people of all stripes. Don't be like Bai Muchen and make friends with people of questionable character. You'll end up hurting yourself!"

"My son knows."

Bai Jingting nodded obediently, but a hint of sarcasm appeared on his lips.

Now in the capital, apart from the various social groups and noble families as they call them, who would be willing to make friends with him?

If not, why would he go to the North City to have fun?

However, this time there was an unexpected surprise.

Bai Jingting dismissed the maids in the yard and took Lu Zhaorui to his study, "Mother, I have something important to tell you."

After entering the study, Bai Jingting closed the door carefully. Seeing him like this, Lu Zhaorui looked puzzled, "What's the matter?"

Bai Jingting lowered his voice and said, "Mother, Bai Youyou killed someone!"

"Bai Youyou killed someone?" Lu Zhaorui frowned slightly. "It's common for a noble family to beat a servant to death with a stick. What's so surprising about that?"

"She didn't kill her own servants, but ordinary citizens!"

"How did you get this news?"

Lu Chaorui's breathing stagnated and her eyes widened involuntarily.

Servants with indentures were different from common people. If a servant made a mistake, the master had the right to punish him. If the mistake was serious, the master might even beat or kill him.

But it’s different for ordinary people. If you kill someone, you must pay with your life!

"I heard this news by chance from someone else."

Bai Jingting's eyes were filled with excitement. "Mother, with this handle, we can use it to threaten the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and make them hand over the Yunnifang recipe!"

Lu Chaorui paced back and forth, biting her lower lip and thinking for a moment before saying, "Don't take this lightly. If we want to use this as an excuse, we must have solid evidence. Otherwise, if we act rashly, we will only bring disaster upon ourselves."

Bai Jingting patted his chest and assured, "Mom, I understand. I have sent people to investigate. As long as the body is found, Bai Youyou will be unable to turn over."

"Don't be careless. Behind Bai Youyou is the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. We are outnumbered now, and if we are not careful we will be doomed." Lu Chaorui held Bai Jingting's hand worriedly.

"Mom, we have nothing now, and the only way out is to fight hard. If we can take this opportunity to get the recipe from Yun Ni Fang, we will have money in the future, and no one will dare to look down on us!"

Bai Jingting's eyes were cold.

These days, he was fed up with other people's contemptuous looks and the rumors behind his back.

After getting the secret recipe of Yunnifang and making some money, he moved out with his mother and sister to live their own life.

Lu Chaorui is the same, but things have changed and she has to bow her head now.

"I will discuss this matter with your grandmother. Please do not act rashly!"

Bai Jingting's eyebrows furrowed, and he looked dissatisfied. "Mom, we have already found our son, the witness. What else is there to discuss?"

"In addition to witnesses, we also need physical evidence. Do you really think you can convict someone based on just one person's words?"

"That's enough." Lu Zhaorui poked his forehead with her index finger. "Study hard. Mother will take care of these things."
