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

Only when you are a girl at home can you feel so comfortable. Once you get married and become someone's daughter-in-law, you have to follow rules and etiquette in everything you do.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is considered a good place, with not many rules. Some families with more rules have to visit their parents every morning and evening, every day.

Even though this aunt has a noble status, she is still constrained by her husband's family in every way.

Huixian Tower is on Jixiang Street.

Today, Jixiang Street is crowded with people, especially near Huixian Building, which is surrounded by students in three layers.

At first glance, there were only pitch-black heads.

"so many people?"

Qi Lian was shocked when he saw that most of the men on the street were dressed like scholars.

Lu Chen did not pursue the imperial examination, so he took the matter of Mo Daru indifferently.

He looked at the huge crowd and frowned, "It's impossible to squeeze in, why not go somewhere else?"

Qi Yue got the chance to go to Bailu Academy, otherwise he would be a member of this army today.

He looked at the little head in front of him gratefully and said with a smile: "Let's go to Jueweizhai."

"That's right, I've been wanting to eat Jueweizhai's egg yolk pastry for a long time."

Qi Lian pulled Bai Youyou's arm and turned around and walked away, "Come on, Xiao Si, what do you want to eat today? My brother will buy it for you."

He was a typical example of someone who didn't feel any pain when spending other people's money. Bai Youyou was dragged by him and walked very quickly.

Jueweizhai is located on the side street of Jixiang Street, which is mostly filled with shops selling cakes, fruits and snacks.

Qi Lian took Bai Youyou to Jueweizhai and picked out half a pound of each of her favorite cakes and pastries, and mixed in some of his own private goods.

Qi Yue glanced at him indifferently and paid the money generously.

Qi Lian was carrying the pastries packed by the waiter, smiling from ear to ear. When he was about to say that he was going to Jufulou, a scream suddenly came from an alley not far away.

"Ah! Someone's dead!!!"

Everyone looked back in the direction of the sound.

"Go and see."

Lu Chen immediately ran towards the dead body.

The others quickly followed.

Bai Youyou pushed her way through the crowd and got in. When she saw the man clearly, her face turned pale.

There was a young girl lying on the ground, wearing only a thin white undershirt, which had been stained dark red by blood.

Her face was pale and her body was obviously stiff.

She knew this person. She was the sister of Liang Xiucai. That day, her father dragged her on the street and wanted to sell her to a brothel. She asked Xiaoju to give two taels of silver to save her.

"This is Liang Wenchang's sister!"

"Cousin Yueyue, do you know her?"

Qi Yue nodded, then squatted down and probed under the nose of the corpse with trembling hands.

"already dead."

Next to the corpse, there was a tattered straw basket lying askew. The man who had just screamed was a little beggar. He was now frightened and curled up in the corner, motionless.

"Go and report to the official!"

"I go!"

Qi Lian stuffed everything in his hand to Lu Chen, turned around and ran quickly in the direction of Jingzhao Yin.

Bai Youyou looked at the purple bruises on the exposed skin of the corpse. She half-knelt down, lifted her sleeves and took a look, and immediately gasped.

Judging from the looks of it, she must have been sold by her father.

Government officials quickly arrived at the scene, and the onlookers stepped back and made room for the incident.

"Second Master Qi, do you know the victim?"

Lord Xu ordered his men to seal off the crime scene and turned to ask Qi Lian who had reported the case.

"I don't know him," Qi Lian pointed at Qi Yue and said, "My eldest brother knows him."

Qi Yue bowed to Lord Xu and said, "Lord Xu, this girl's name is Liang Wenxiu. She is the younger sister of Liang Wenchang, a scholar from the alley in the west of the city."

"Go and bring Liang Wenchang's family here."

"Yes!"

Lord Xu gave the order and a constable immediately walked away.

Someone had gone back to inform Liang Xiucai before, and less than half an hour later, Liang Xiucai dragged his broken leg and walked towards this side with difficulty, holding on to the wall.

Looking at the body lying on the ground, he burst into tears.

“Wenxiu!!”

He fell to the ground, kicking with one leg, and crawled step by step to the corpse, holding the person in his trembling arms.

He touched Liang Wenxiu's face and cried heartbreakingly, "Wuwuwu - it's my fault that I was useless. I didn't protect you well!"

Lord Xu stood aside and said in a gentle voice: "Mr. Liang, you should tell me about your sister first."

Liang Xiucai was completely exhausted, his throat choked again and again, and it took a long time before he could make a hoarse sound.

"Three days ago, my father took Wenxiu away while I was out selling calligraphy and paintings. When I came back, she was gone. I asked around and finally found Li Daqiang. He broke my legs and kicked me out."

"I have been waiting outside his house for the past two days, but I didn't see Wenxiu come out. I didn't expect..."

He choked and cried inconsolably.

Lord Xu frowned slightly, "Can you stay there at night?"

Liang Xiucai shook his head. "No. I have a sick mother and a young brother at home who need to be taken care of. I stay there during the day and go back at night."

There was something strange about the matter, so Lord Xu asked about Li Daqiang's home address.

"No. 28 Qingwu Lane."

The address Liang Xiucai gave shocked Bai Youyou.

Isn't that the house where her eldest brother keeps his mistress? !

Could Li Daqiang be the brother of his mistress?

Lu Chen noticed her expression, moved to her side, and asked in a low voice: "Do you know that Li Daqiang?"

"I don't know Li Daqiang, but my eldest brother's mistress lives at No. 28 Qingwu Lane."

Bai Youyou's voice was not low, and Qi Yue heard her words clearly. He was a little surprised for a moment, "Your eldest brother has a mistress?"

Bai Youyou single-headed, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Tsk tsk tsk, now there's something interesting to watch."

Qi Lian came over at some point and curled his lips in disdain.

Lord Xu ordered someone to bring Li Daqiang over. Bai Youyou and the others did not leave, but just waited quietly for the man named Li Daqiang.

This place was not far from Qingwu Lane. After a moment, a man wearing dark purple brocade clothes and with shifty eyes was brought here by the brigade, followed by a woman in pink clothes.

Bai Youyou looked up and when she saw that it was the pretty girl with a round face, she understood.

It’s really her!

Li Daqiang was reluctant to move forward and was pushed hard by the constable behind him. He staggered and almost fell.

He stood firm and cursed: "You stinky constable, do you know who I am? How dare you do this to me!"

"who are you?"

Lord Xu's face darkened.

He was originally planning to go out to investigate a theft case, but unexpectedly he encountered a murder case.

He didn't even bother to change into his official robe and followed in casual clothes.

Li Daqiang didn't recognize his identity. He raised his chin, revealing two dark nostrils, and said proudly: "My brother-in-law is the young master of Yongning Marquis Mansion. If you dare to treat me like this, be careful or I will let my brother-in-law deal with you!"

Lord Xu looked at his arrogant and domineering appearance and sneered, "There are so many young masters in the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, which young master are you talking about?"
