Qin Jianjian almost used up all his strength and roared angrily.

The entire pavilion was silent, everyone was shocked.

Who could have thought that Lu Qingheng actually drugged her husband and another woman, and was even involved in poisoning her mother-in-law.

It's really a big show.

Lu Qingheng was emotional and shouted angrily: "What nonsense! Why did you frame me? Who asked you to do this?!"

She frantically grabbed Qin Beihuang's arm and said, "I didn't do that! I didn't kill my mother!"

Qin Beihuang looked disappointed and shook her hand away.

"I've seen mother's white jade bracelet in your makeup box. I know it's yours."

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured down on Lu Qingheng, chilling him from head to toe.

No matter how much I explain, it seems to be in vain.

"You would rather believe Qin Jianjian than me?"

"Don't you know what kind of character Qin Jianjian has?"

Qin Beihuang's eyes were cold, "At least she has no reason to drug Jiang Ningwan and me."

"But you..."

He believed that Lu Qingheng could do it.

Because this isn't the first time.

That time in the brothel, she was also so "generous".

Now it seems that she really hated him to the core, which is why she did such a thing.

Lu Qingheng's eyes were red, he was angry and disappointed, but he still wanted to make amends unwillingly.

"When you married me, you said you would always trust me. Have you forgotten?"

Qin Beihuang had a serious expression and cold eyes.

"I did."

"But you've changed."

After saying this, he took a deep breath and faced the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, "Family disgrace should not be made public. I will bear all the blame for what Lu Qingheng did!"

As for his and Lu Qingheng's family affairs, they will be settled privately.

I don't want to be laughed at by so many people anymore.

Qin Wenli nodded. "The only ones affected this time are you and Ning Wan. Since you want to bear the responsibility, then you can discuss compensation privately."

"Qin Jianjian is your sister, you can deal with it yourself."

"As for these palace maids, they shall be fined fifty taels of silver and given twenty strokes of the cane."

Qin Wenli stood up and glanced at everyone, "It's getting late, everyone go back and get some rest."

"Guards will be patrolling the Plum Garden tonight. Please do not walk around outside, and do not have any private meetings."

This last sentence made Qin Chengqian's face freeze.

Everyone had not seen enough of the wonderful show in Prince Yi's Mansion and was still reluctant to leave. After leaving the Snow Pavilion, they all gathered together to discuss the matter.

"Lu Qingheng's methods are truly extraordinary. He even dared to poison my mother-in-law!"

"I think Princess Yi treated her too harshly. Who knows what kind of life she's leading in the Qin family."

"Didn't she insist on getting married? Who can she blame? If she really couldn't stand the torture, she could just divorce her husband like Jiang Ningwan did, or even get a divorce."

“I don’t have the courage, and I can’t bear to leave Qin Beihuang. I’m really not pitiful.”

The crowd gradually dispersed, but the distant voices could be clearly heard in the pavilion.

Lu Qingheng bit his lower lip tightly, tears welling up in his eyes.

She chose the wrong path, but this is not her destination!

Qin Beihuang walked towards Jiang Ningwan and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble tonight. Just tell me how you want to compensate me."

Jiang Ningwan said calmly, "It hasn't caused any irreversible consequences, so compensation is unnecessary."

She didn't want to have anything to do with Qin Beihuang anymore.

After saying that, Jiang Ningwan and Pei Xunzhi left arm in arm.

When passing by Qin Jianjian, Jiang Ningwan lowered her eyes and glanced at her.

After leaving Xuezhong Pavilion, Pei Xunzhi was afraid that Lu Qingheng would wait for an opportunity to take revenge, so he specially lived in the same room with Jiang Ningwan.

They locked the door, lit a candle, and lay on the bed.

Pei Xunzhi turned over, propped up his chin with his arm, and asked curiously, "How did you know there was something wrong with the room and even ran to Ling Jinlan's room in advance?"

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "As soon as I entered this room today, I smelled the scent of the aphrodisiac incense. At that time, I saw Qin Jianjian sneaking away..."

Today she caught up with the sneaky figure.

After seeing that it was Qin Jianjian, he searched her and found the aphrodisiac powder on her body. Under questioning, Qin Jianjian confessed everything.

Qin Jianjian knelt on the ground and pleaded, "There's aphrodisiac incense in the room. Lu Qingheng wants to frame you and my brother!"

"Please save me."

Jiang Ningwan was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly: "Save you?"

Qin Jian began to cry and choked up, saying, "Lu Qingheng wants to kill me! She killed my mother!"

"She has the final say in the entire Prince Yi's Mansion. She sent people to monitor me, so I can't do anything. Only today when we get to the Plum Garden will we have the chance to see you alone!"

"I know you hate me and my mother, but you hate Lu Qingheng even more, right? If you're willing to help me, I'll be willing to do anything you ask me to do from now on!"

After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was shocked.

I learned the details of Princess Yi's death from Qin Jianjian.

So she thought of a way to turn the tables on Qin Jian and deliberately make the adultery incident a big deal, so that Qin Jianjian would tell the truth in public about the fact that Princess Yi was poisoned.

She had already extinguished the aphrodisiac incense in the room.

After waiting for Qin Beihuang to enter the room, he told him that someone wanted to harm them and needed his cooperation to catch the person.

Qin Beihuang was indeed very cooperative.

"In fact, I didn't do anything. I just took advantage of the situation and exposed this matter."

As long as it can make Lu Qingheng feel uncomfortable, it is worth doing.

After listening to this, Pei Xunzhi shook his head and sighed, "This Prince Yi's Mansion is simply a den of jackals."

"I've finally understood. No matter who marries into Prince Yi's Mansion, they'll be tormented half to death."

"Meeting Lu Qingheng, a man with a vicious heart, is also retribution for their Prince Yi's Mansion."

Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but sigh, "Prince Yi's Mansion is a place where people are eaten alive. No matter who it is, someone will always have to pay with their life."

In this life, she broke free from fate, and the dead person became Princess Yi.

Pei Xunzhi turned over and lay back down.

"If the news of poisoning my mother-in-law gets back to Kyoto, I'm afraid Lu Qingheng will become a rat crossing the street and everyone will shout and beat him."

After all, throughout history, filial piety is the most important virtue.

No one would investigate what Princess Yi did, and would only spread the story of what a vicious daughter-in-law she was who poisoned her mother-in-law.

If it is mentioned, everyone will just spit on it.

"Hey, what will Lu Qingheng do with Princess Yi if she poisons her?"

"Kill for life."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Xunzhi's eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up again.

Jiang Ningwan shook her head and said, "But there's no evidence to convict us. Unless we open the coffin and do an autopsy, but after so much time, there's no guarantee we'll be able to detect any toxins in the body."

"If the poison could be detected, the doctor who treated Princess Yi would have been able to diagnose it."

Pei Xunzhi's eyes darkened and he lay back down.

"what a pity."

"It all depends on how Qin Beihuang handles it. After all, he is the victim."

……

Inside the Snow Pavilion.

Only the three people from Prince Yi's Mansion are left.

Qin Jianjian knelt on the ground and dared not get up. Lu Qingheng still insisted, "If you don't believe me, let's open the coffin and do an autopsy! If it was me who killed my mother, I'm willing to pay with my own life!"

Qin Beihuang sneered, his eyes cold.

"My mother has been buried for a long time, and you want me to open the coffin and perform an autopsy?"

He knew that if Lu Qingheng dared to say that, the autopsy would definitely reveal nothing, so why bother insulting the deceased.

"Then what do you want to do!" Lu Qingheng's emotions were already a little out of control.

Qin Beihuang was silent for a while, then turned around, took out a pen and paper, and slowly wrote a divorce letter.

Handed it to Lu Qingheng.

"The relationship between you and me as husband and wife is over."

"A divorce letter wipes out all grudges."
