Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 118: Letter from the Li Family
Dali Temple.
Chu Yuncang's pupils suddenly shrank, and he asked in a deep voice, "What exactly is going on?"
The bailiff immediately dropped to the ground and replied in panic, "I didn't get any details. I only heard that the Emperor sent someone to the Fourth Prince's residence to announce his decree, and the Fourth Prince committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
Chu Yuncang's face was as gloomy as water. The fourth brother was not the one behind Huang Dai, and the witchcraft incident was also very strange. His father would definitely investigate carefully. Why did the fourth brother die so hastily?
Liuguang quickly slipped out of the door, but after a moment, he turned back and winked at Chu Yuncang.
Chu Yuncang immediately dismissed all the outsiders in the room, leaving only Xie Qingli and Fan Yuan.
Liuguang bowed and reported, "Master, Lord Fan, the Emperor drafted two imperial edicts this afternoon and sent Eunuch De'an to announce them. Eunuch De'an first went to the Third Prince's residence. After he finished announcing the edicts, the imperial guards surrounding the Third Prince's residence immediately withdrew."
"Then, Eunuch De'an went to the Fourth Prince's residence. Before receiving the imperial edict, the Fourth Prince went to bathe and change clothes, but he did not come out of the bathroom for a long time. Eunuch De'an became anxious and sent someone to urge him, but they found that the Fourth Prince had been hanged in the bathroom with a white silk thread, with a suicide note beside him."
"With such a major event happening, Eunuch De'an naturally didn't dare to delay. He hurried back to the palace to report the Fourth Prince's suicide note."
Fan Yuan looked at Liu Guang in surprise. In such a short time, he was able to find out such detailed details. The Shadow Guard was indeed worthy of his reputation!
Chu Yuncang pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what those two imperial edicts said?"
Liu Guang frowned and said, "I heard that the imperial edict sent to the Third Prince reprimanded him for his lax management of the palace, which had become chaotic. The Emperor punished him by ordering him to reflect on his mistakes for ten days. The imperial edict sent to the Fourth Prince hasn't been read out yet, so I haven't been able to find out the specific content."
Chu Yuncang frowned. All the things that happened to the third and fourth sons were caused by the Huang Dai case, and the Huang Dai case was the one he insisted on investigating. Now that the fourth son was suddenly gone, he wondered what his father would think. He was afraid...
He stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice, "Lord Fan, I do not wish to use my power to pressure others or interfere with the Dali Temple's investigation. However, the Dali Temple is now full of loopholes. I think this is a situation that Lord Fan does not want to see."
"I think that Lord Fan can use the shadow guards to eliminate the snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding in the Dali Temple through these two cases." After saying this, Chu Yuncang strode out.
But before leaving, he suddenly stopped and said meaningfully, "Also, I advise Lord Fan to make a decision soon. Otherwise, even if Lord Fan wants to investigate, I'm afraid he won't be able to do so."
Fan Yuan was stunned for a moment, and he asked doubtfully, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"
Chu Yuncang did not help him to clear up his confusion, but walked out quickly.
Fan Yuan hurriedly chased after him, shouting, "Your Highness, I am willing."
Chu Yuncang just waved his hand without looking back. He quickly left the Dali Temple, sent Xie Qingli back to the Marquis' Mansion, and then hurried to the palace.
……
Li'an Garden.
The afterglow in the sky faded and night fell. Xie Qingli tiptoed into the Marquis' Mansion and flew back to Li'an Garden in the cover of night.
After entering the bedroom, Xie Qingli fell straight onto the bed. She was in a low mood. She felt that the day was so long and her strength was exhausted.
Chunya came in from outside and saw Xie Qingli, who was wearing men's clothes and looked depressed. She was startled and ran over to touch Xie Qingli's forehead, and asked anxiously: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you scared by the execution?"
Xie Qingli turned to look at Chunya. She nodded slowly, but in the end she couldn't bear to tell Chunya about the dog.
Chunya skillfully helped Xie Qingli wash his hands and face, secretly regretting why she didn't stop Xie Qingli at that time.
At this moment, Leng Shuang hurried in with a stack of letters in her hands and said in a cold voice, "Miss, this is your letter, sent from Jiazhou."
A glimmer of light finally appeared in Xie Qingli's lifeless eyes. She slowly sat up, reached out to take the letter, took it out and began to read.
The first letter was from his adoptive father. He began with a big announcement of the good news: "Your second brother has won the first place in the Tongsheng exam!" The following pages were filled with his praise for Zhang Shouan and the envy of others.
Xie Qingli's lips curled up unconsciously. Between the lines, she seemed to see her adoptive father clapping his hands and laughing.
The second letter was from his stepmother. She asked Xie Qingli how he was doing after returning to Beijing and whether he had adapted to the situation. Her caring heart, like a gentle spring breeze, warmed Xie Qingli's heart.
In his letter, Zhang Shouan simply mentioned that he had accidentally passed the examination for the position of a student and was preparing for the provincial examination in the autumn. If all went well, he looked forward to meeting his sister Li'er again in the spring of next year.
Xie Qingli knew that although Zhang Shouan was intelligent, he must have put in a hundred times more effort to win the first place in such a short time. Such a Zhang Shouan had a promising future. And since this was the person whose fate was changed by her rebirth, her depressed mood suddenly brightened.
Hu Er filled ten pages with papers full of difficult and complicated problems that he couldn't figure out, just like an old scholar.
Li Lanzhi could not write many words, she just wrote a few words to instruct Xie Qingli, but her letter also contained a piece of drawing paper with Zhuangzhuang's cute handprints printed on it.
Holding these letters from home, Xie Qingli felt warm in her heart, and the haze in her heart was swept away. She immediately sat down at the table and prepared to start replying.
Leng Shuang quietly reported, "Miss, there's news from Han Jue that He and Song Tianbao entered the city this afternoon. They detained Song Tianbao in the inn and ordered He to come out and look for her mother-in-law..."
Xie Qingli suddenly raised his head and asked anxiously, "How?"
Leng Shuang hesitated a little: "He has been wandering around the city and has actually found her way to the Marquis' Mansion. Now she is squatting at the back door of the mansion."
Xie Qingli frowned, wondering if He Shi wanted to reunite with Xie Qingyao. Was it possible that her mother-in-law was no longer alive, and so she came looking for her daughter? If so, it would be even more difficult to uncover the truth of what happened back then.
She frowned and asked, "Has He ever come into contact with anyone since arriving at the Marquis' Mansion?"
Leng Shuang shook her head. "Ms. He has been squatting at the gate of the mansion for half the afternoon, but her clothes are too shabby, and the maids and servants who come in and out of the gate just think she is an old beggar and walk around her with disdain."
"She did try to come closer and talk a few times, scaring the maids so much that they ran away. Afterwards, she just stared at the people coming in and out and didn't do anything."
Xie Qingli stood up, changed into a neat set of clothes, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go and take a look."
Xie Qingli and Leng Shuang quickly came to the back door of the Marquis' Mansion, flew to the courtyard wall and looked down. Sure enough, they saw a black shadow squatting at the door of the Marquis' Mansion.
The dark clouds dispersed, and the bright moonlight shone down, illuminating a skinny, charcoal-black old woman.
Xie Qingli couldn't help but be shocked. Was this person really the pampered and plump He from two months ago?
