In the past few days, Liang always felt cold. No matter how many clothes she wore, she still felt cold. Her hands and feet also became weaker and weaker...

She started to panic.

"Madame Huang...please ask Doctor Zhang to come..."

When the doctor came, he didn't say anything. He just told her to take good rest, prescribed some tranquilizers and left.

After Liang took the medicine, she had nightmares. She dreamed of Li Xiangning Marquis's first wife Su, the concubine she killed... and the children...

After several ordeals, her spirit became worse and worse. Seeing that she was about to die, Marquis Xiangning handed over the power of household finances to Lan Hui.

It also compensated for the pain of losing her child.

It has to be said that Marquis Xiangning still values ​​Yang Jing very much. Although he is not as outstanding as his eldest son, he has a prominent maternal family, and the Marquis Xiangning's Mansion needs such a prominent family as a support, and this is his advantage.

Lan Hui, who had reached the peak of her life after losing her child, came to Liang's yard in a proud and arrogant manner despite her weak body. She said something and left triumphantly.

But soon, Marquis Xiangning came back, and Yang Yi, who was always busy with official duties and seldom returned home, also came back, bringing the angry Su family with him.

Afterwards, the elders of the Liang family also rushed over.

When Liang was dying, he was dishevelled and went to the three judges for trial.

She had been proud and respectable all her life, but she didn't expect to be so embarrassed at the end...

Although Marquis Xiangning coveted the Liang family's wealth and prominence, he also respected his first wife's family very much, and respected his first wife who died young even more.

When he learned that his original wife was poisoned by the person next to him, cold sweat broke out on his back. Thinking that a poisonous snake had been lying next to him all these years, he couldn't help but feel cold all over.

The Su family is now headed by Yang Yi's uncle and aunt, and they brought people here today.

"My Lord, although our Su family is not well-known, it is not something that anyone can step on. Your second wife killed your first wife, how do you plan to deal with it!"

The Liang family didn't dare to speak. The Su family notified them to come today, which was a way to save their face. Murdering the original wife was a serious crime, and it was outrageous no matter how you talked about it.

Marquis Xiangning looked at his wife, who had always been respectable, now slumped on the ground with dishevelled hair and a dirty face, and he felt mixed emotions.

After all, they had slept together for more than 20 years. It would be a lie to say that there was no affection between them. But this woman was really hateful! She killed Su and took over the throne. Over the years, she used Liang's position in the court to suppress him.

The Liang family didn't want to make it public. After all, the Liang family was a century-old clan. If a woman murdered her first wife to gain power, who would dare to marry a Liang woman in the future? Who would dare to marry a Liang man?

After thinking about this, the elder of the Liang clan spoke up, "Look at her condition, she won't live for many days, why not let her fend for herself in the backyard... As for other things, my Liang family will compensate as much as we can... It was because I didn't educate my children well that I gave birth to such a wicked girl, but, considering that my Liang family has done nothing wrong, please leave a way out for the other women in the Liang family..."

As an elder of the Liang clan, when did he need to speak to others in such a humble manner? It was all because of Liang Suqin, who had been spoiled since childhood and looked down on evil people!

She has always been disrespectful to the elders of the clan, but today, he wants to speak for her so that the other members of the Liang family will not be implicated!

This is also what Marquis Xiangning meant.

If it were to come to light that he had a wicked wife, it would also have an impact on Yang Yi's career... Besides, Yang Jing was also his legitimate son. If he had a murderer mother, how would he be able to gain a foothold in the capital in the future?

Thinking of this, he looked at his eldest son Yang Yi, hoping he could say something.

But Yang Yi's face was stern, and his words were cold and hard, leaving no room for negotiation. "My mother died in an unclear manner. Now that the truth is out, the murderer must be brought to justice. I am the Minister of Justice appointed by His Majesty himself. Could it be that my father wants me to bend the law for personal gain?"

Marquis Xiangning almost jumped up, but then he thought that he did not have the position to do so. After all, the person killed by Liang was his mother.

When the elders of the Liang family heard that they were going to send the man to the court, they were furious. "The man has been dead for so many years. Why do you want to implicate other women in the Liang family for a dead man..."

Yang Yi narrowed his eyes and glared at him.

The elder of the clan had white hair and beard. Looking around Kyoto, even the royal family had to give him some face.

But the look in the eyes of the young man in front of him seemed to want to eat him alive.

The elder felt cold in his heart, knowing that he had spoken out of turn, so he lowered his attitude even more, "I have spoken out of turn, please do not blame me, young master... You are a kind child, and a good official who enforces the law impartially, but you are not willing to see innocent people implicated because of one person's mistake... Although my Liang family cannot be said to be incorruptible, our family tradition is strict, and we never use our family background to oppress the people. We cannot let the future generations of the Liang family be cut off because of her mistake..."

Uncle Su found this to be pleasing to the ear, but his sister’s death couldn’t be in vain, right?

"When Liang poisoned my sister, did she ever think that if the truth came out one day, it would implicate the descendants of the Liang family! My nephew lost his father at a young age because of her, and he has been tortured and embarrassed by her every day over the years. He still dares not marry! Can you let her go just because you said that she shouldn't implicate innocent people because of her own mistakes? They are the descendants of your Liang family. It is your Liang family's legitimate daughter who should cut off their retreat, not us!"

Su's aunt also echoed, "That's exactly the truth. If everyone follows Liang's example and murders his wife for their own selfish reasons, and in the end they don't have to bear any responsibility, then wouldn't our Da'an laws be meaningless!"

Yang Yi said seriously, "Aunt, what you said is the truth."

Liang was extremely weak. She was neither smiling nor crying at the moment, which was very strange.

When Yang Jing heard the news from home, he rushed back and saw his mother sitting on the ground, looking haggard.

Lan Hui was also standing aside.

Seeing Yang Jing coming back, she knelt down crying, "Father-in-law, please make a decision for your daughter-in-law... The baby in my daughter-in-law's belly was aborted because my mother-in-law gave her drugs."

"what!"

Marquis Xiangning stood up and widened his eyes in disbelief.

He was not there at the time, and it was only afterwards that a servant came to deliver the message to him.

However, the mistress of the family had already taken care of the matter as her daughter-in-law had her own miscarriage, and as a father-in-law, it was not convenient for him to interfere, so he did not take care of the matter.

"Liang! Are you crazy? That's your grandson!"

Liang sneered, "I am crazy! I shouldn't have let this unmarried bitch into my family! She got pregnant before she even got married, and she said it was Jing'er's child, but who knows if she had an affair with someone else and wanted Jing'er to take the blame!"
