In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.

The Qi family filed a complaint with the Jingzhao government office, accusing the Ding family of a serious crime. Because the Qi family was a general's mansion, the Ministry of Justice was involved in the trial. After a trial and investigation, the evidence was conclusive, and many witnesses gathered to defend the Qi family and ran to the government office to testify.

"I am willing to testify that the Ding family has framed the Qi family."

"I am willing to testify."

"I am willing to testify."

There were so many people coming to the government office to testify that it was like a market.

Faced with witnesses and evidence, the Ding family could not deny it.

With the involvement of officials and bailiffs from the government office, the case was quickly concluded and reported to the emperor by the Ministry of Justice.

The emperor issued an edict: the Ding family will be punished for the serious crime of falsely accusing an official.

On that day, one man from each of the five branches of the Ding family was sentenced to beheading, and all the other men involved were exiled, and their property was confiscated.

In addition, the women of the Ding family were reduced to slavery and lost their freedom and dignity.

From then on, if they wanted to survive, they had no choice but to sell themselves into slavery.

As the mastermind, the old lady Yin of the Ding family was also severely punished and sentenced to death by beheading.

This verdict shocked the entire capital. "The Ding family is now broken up, it's tragic."

Some relatives of the Ding family privately resented the Qi family, saying, "The Qi family disregarded family affection and acted too cruelly."

Most people applauded and said, "Great! This is how we should deal with those who shamelessly frame others to gain benefits."

In order to protect themselves, the children and grandchildren of the Ding family confessed what Mrs. Ding and her son Qi Fu had done.

Qi Lu took the confession copied from the Ministry of Justice and showed it to his father.

He held it up with both hands and said in a heavy tone, "Father, this is the confession of those people from the Ding family."

General Qi took the confession and read it. The truth was even worse than he had imagined.

"Old witch!" General Qi cursed angrily.

His two sons did not let Da Ding down and treated her as their mother.

He greeted everyone in the morning and evening, and never expressed dissatisfaction when he was bullied or deducted.

However, Da Ding was only thinking about how to kill his children and grandchildren and seize their property.

She also hinted that Qi Fu should collude with outsiders to ruin the reputation of her eldest granddaughter Qi Wan.

General Qi was extremely angry about this and was no longer willing to forgive his step-wife, Ding.

General Qi said to his eldest son, "Leave this matter to me. First of all, you must ensure that she does not die in our family. It is not worth it for you to mourn for a vicious woman like her for three years."

"My son will follow your instructions, father." Qi Lu said respectfully.

He returned to the Qi Mansion and said to his family worriedly, "Father said he would deal with Da Ding, but I don't know how."

Pei sighed, "It's really hard to do."

Qi Ze nodded in agreement.

They were in a dilemma. If they killed her, they would have to observe mourning, and if they kept her alive, it would only cause more trouble.

Qi Wan smiled and said, "Grandfather will definitely find a way to deal with her."

"I hope so." Zheng said expectantly.

She had been married for three years and even though she was pregnant and about to give birth, she still had to stand beside the old lady for several hours every day to serve her.

She was not tortured by her mother-in-law, but was abused by her step-grandmother.

Now she was frightened when she thought about it. It turned out that Ding wanted her to become exhausted and have a miscarriage, so that the eldest branch of the family would have no descendants.

Qi Wan secretly thought: "If Grandfather doesn't find a way to get rid of the old poisonous woman this time, I will make her a living dead."

General Qi made the decision after his eldest son left.

This was the first time in all these years that General Qi used a trick on his step-wife.

He called his subordinate Qi Cheng and said, "Go tell Mrs. Ding that her son has become a high-ranking official in Yangzhou and has bought a big house. Come and take her to Yangzhou to live for a while."

Qi Cheng went to the backyard and reported the good news to Madam Qi, "Congratulations, Madam. The Third Master has sent a letter saying that he has become a fourth-rank official in Yangzhou and bought a large garden with five entrances. He has sent a carriage to pick you up to live with him for a while and enjoy the great fortune."

"I heard from the people who came that the boat was fixed, and it went down the river without any fatigue."

Madam Qi was pleasantly surprised and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go."

She told Mrs. Zhou and the others, "Hurry up and pack your things."

The servants hurried to pack their luggage.

Old Madam Qi was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, thinking that she could finally leave this place and go to the prosperous Yangzhou to enjoy wealth and glory.

She urged the servants to pack their luggage quickly, and couldn't wait to set off.

Qi Yuehua twisted her mouth and drooled, "Mom, I want to go too."

Madam Qi shook her head and said slowly, word by word, "If you go like this, you will be a burden to Qi Fu. Wait until you are cured before going."

Qi Yuehua pursed her lips and tears flowed down her cheeks, "Wuwu..."

Sick old people cannot bear to see people crying in front of them, as they think it is unlucky.

When Mrs. Qi saw her daughter crying, she got angry and cursed, "Don't cry in front of me. If you want to die, die quickly."

Qi Yuehua felt very aggrieved. It was her husband who cured her mother so that she could speak, but she refused to learn from him and even cursed herself to death.

"Wow..." Qi Yuehua cried even harder.

Madam Qi angrily drove them away, "Come here, send her back to the Yuan family for treatment."

She was leaving for Yangzhou and no longer needed her daughter to accompany her, so she asked someone to "send her back to her husband's house and ask the Yuan family to take care of her, so that her son-in-law wouldn't have to run around."

Despite the hot weather, Imperial Doctor Yuan traveled dozens of miles back and forth every two days to save the mother and daughter. It must be because he loved them so much.

Instead, she didn't want the people from the Qi family and the Yuan family to observe mourning for the two of them.
