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

Li Wenchang's back was straight, his hands clenched into fists under his wide sleeves, and he tried hard to control his expression so as not to let others notice anything unusual.

"Mr. Li, Lord Xu, the Jingzhao Yin, has a good relationship with the little girl of the Zhenguo Duke. I'm afraid you were also fooled by them in this matter."

Yong'an Marquis had the confession and evidence brought over. "This is the confession of your neighbor Li Ergou's family. They saw it with their own eyes. This matter is definitely not fabricated by me!"

He thought that Li Wenchang would be furious after reading the confession, after all, the hatred of killing his father was irreconcilable. However, although he read the confession, there was not much anger on his face.

"My father did die by accident and drowning. It had nothing to do with anyone else. Your Majesty was deceived."

After spending these days together, Master Qin understood his temperament and noticed his nervousness, and his brows slightly furrowed.

Is it true?

He hid the doubt in his eyes and stared at Yong'an Hou with a cold face, "How can a purse and an embroidered handkerchief be used as evidence? Besides, Wenchang's father's body has been completely destroyed. There is no way to investigate this case. How can we take other people's nonsense seriously?"

Why is this old guy's elbow bent outward?

Yong'an Hou suppressed his displeasure and said calmly, "This matter has been investigated. It was indeed done by Bai Youyou and a man named Qiao Bing. Master Qin, you and I are both working for the Crown Prince. I'm sure you know what the Crown Prince means."

He looked at Li Wenchang who was standing beside him. "Your grandson-in-law will be an official in the court in the future. If he wants to rise to a high position, he still needs to rely on the crown prince. You won't ruin his future because of an irrelevant person, right?"

A naked threat!

Qin Taifu's lips were pursed into a straight line and his face darkened.

"How could the people of the Zhenguo Mansion be so despicable? This kind of lowly frame-up trick can be seen through by others at a glance. Why do you want to humiliate yourself?"

"The evidence is insufficient, but we are certain that the two of them conspired together."

Yong'an Hou raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Besides, whether it is true or not, the prince has his own arrangements, you just need to act according to the prince's wishes."

The prince wanted to expose this matter not only to suppress the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but also to use this incident to remove Xu Lingyun from the position of Jingzhao Yin!

"My father's body is missing. Many villagers saw it with their own eyes. This cannot be false!"

Li Wenchang's knuckles were white from clenching his fists under his wide sleeves. He tried hard to control his anger and said in a cold voice, "A gentleman should cultivate his mind and be honest. Wenchang has read the books of saints and cannot do such a thing as putting the blame on others!"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to Grand Tutor Qin, "Grand Tutor, Wenchang is impolite, so I will take my leave first."

Qin Taifu waved his hand at him and said, "You can go back first."

There was no emotion on his face, but he was very satisfied in his heart.

If this kid really did such a despicable thing for profit, he would definitely cancel his marriage with Ranran.

"He does have some pride." Yong'an Hou looked at Li Wenchang who was walking out with a gloomy expression, sneered, and said meaningfully: "But I don't know how long this pride can last."

"A gentleman of pure elegance has a noble character. People who have not read much naturally do not know that there are many saints in this world who are upright and honest. They do not seek to save their lives or to be famous in the world, but only to have a clear conscience, to be worthy of others, and to be worthy of heaven and earth!"

Qin Taifu spoke in a slow and steady tone, and his innuendos made the Marquis of Yong'an's cheeks bulge.

He glared at Master Qin sarcastically, "Master, you are well-read, but you have lost your integrity and done things against your will, haven't you?"

"The world is full of endless troubles, and fate is boundless and cannot be escaped." Qin Taifu sighed, and he stood up slowly, "Your Majesty, please think of another way to deal with this matter."

"Master Taifu, you should know the Crown Prince's methods. If you don't think about yourself, you should think about your granddaughter."

When Qin Taifu walked to the threshold, the cold and dim voice of Yong'an Hou came from behind him.

He paused, turned around and glared at Yong'an Hou with a cold gaze, "Are you threatening me?"

Yong'an Hou was shocked by Qin Taifu's aura for a moment, but soon recovered and smiled, "Taifu, you are too serious. I am just reminding you."

Master Qin ignored him and stepped out of the door.

Yong'an Hou angrily swept the teacup on the table to the ground, gnashing his teeth and saying, "Old man, if you don't accept my toast, I'll have to drink a penalty!"

The butler at the side whispered, "My Lord, this Qin Taifu has great prestige in the court, and he is also the prince's teacher. We can't force this matter, we have to think about it carefully."

"teacher?"

Yong'an Hou snorted disdainfully, "The prince respects him as his teacher, but if he doesn't, then he is nothing!"

Since ancient times, all the emperors have stepped on countless bones to ascend the throne. Killing his father and brother is nothing. What does a mere tutor like him mean to him?

You old bastard, you don’t recognize your own identity!

Yong'an Hou was furious for a moment, and when he calmed down, he said to the housekeeper: "Send more people to find that Qiao Bing for me! When we find that Qiao Bing, Li Wenchang will have to agree even if he doesn't want to. This matter is not up to him!"

While Marquis Yong'an was looking for someone, Bai Youyou gave the portrait to the butler and asked him to find someone to draw a lot of copies of it and then send them to the border.

In the Taifu Mansion, Taifu Qin asked someone to invite Li Wenchang.

He dismissed the servants, asked Li Wenchang to sit down, and then asked kindly, "When did you become friends with the young lady from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"

Li Wenchang pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth about his previous experience.

"Ms. Bai has done Wenchang a favor. The prince wants Wenchang to slander Miss Bai. Wenchang would never dare to do such an ungrateful thing!"

Qin Taifu took a sip of tea from the teacup and glanced at him, "Is there another hidden story behind your father's death?"

Li Wenchang did not dare to hide it. "My father was a heavy drinker and gambler. He sold my younger sister, angered my mother to death, and then even my younger brother was not spared. That day, he was about to sell my younger brother, and I happened to find out. During the argument, he almost beat me to death. It was my former schoolmate who came to save me."

"Didn't that girl kill him?"

Li Wenchang shook his head, "Absolutely not."

Qin Taifu let out a long sigh of relief. He waved his wide sleeves, his face full of worry. "It doesn't matter whether she killed him or not. What matters is that the prince wanted her to kill him."

"What should we do in this matter?" Li Wenchang was very anxious.

"Ran Ran is the only child of this old man, and the prince will definitely use Ran Ran as a threat. If it comes to a last resort, you should agree first, and I will figure out the rest."

"But--"

Li Wenchang was in a dilemma, with his benefactor on one side and his fiancée on the other.

"There are differences between relatives and strangers. Don't blame me for being selfish."

Master Qin looked at Qin Ran who was walking towards him with lotus steps through the open door, his old eyes full of doting.

Between someone else and his own granddaughter, how could he choose someone else and abandon his own granddaughter?
