The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Against this background, Meng's lawsuit against the Duke of England became particularly eye-catching.

Jingzhao Yin Yu Sheng felt that the situation was a bit tricky, so he went to seek advice from the then Minister of Justice Liu Zhiheng.

Liu Zhiheng scolded Yu Sheng and ordered him to handle the case impartially.

The next day, Emperor Huiren ordered the Dali Temple to coordinate with the Jingzhao Yin to investigate the case and bring justice to the deceased.

With clues, the case is not difficult to investigate.

Ruan Weiliang tried to buy Baoqinglou with five thousand taels of silver, with the former owner of Baoqinglou as a witness.

According to the time of the contract, five thousand taels became eighty thousand taels in just two days, which is obviously unreasonable.

Soon, Ruan Weiliang turned himself in, saying that he coveted Baoqing Tower and hired a killer for five thousand taels to wipe out the Chen family.

The deed was also forged.

However, when Meng pointed out that it was Ruan Xinming, the eldest son of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion refused to acknowledge him.

The Jingzhao Yin and the Dali Temple knew clearly that Ruan Xinming must be behind this.

However, Baoqing Tower was indeed under the name of Ruan Weiliang, not the Duke of Yingguo’s Mansion.

The banknotes, jade articles and jewels stolen from the Chen family were also found in the house purchased by Ruan Weiliang.

Ruan Weiliang insisted again that the Duke of Yingguo’s Mansion was not aware of this.

The Jingzhao Yin and the Dali Temple were also unable to do anything to Ruan Xinming...

When the case was reported to Emperor Huiren, he was so angry that he called the old Duke of Yingguo, Ruan Zhengkun, and the Duke of Yingguo's son, Ruan Bai, to the imperial study.

But Ruan Zhengkun and Ruan Bai have been protesting their innocence, claiming they had no knowledge of the matter.

Even Queen Ruan Qingyao took off her hairpin and pleaded guilty, but she only admitted to the charge that Duke Yingguo was not good at managing his family.

Emperor Huiren favored Concubine Qi, and Ruan Qingyao only had the title of empress. She saw Emperor Huiren only a few times.

Emperor Huiren always felt a little guilty towards Ruan Qingyao.

At Ruan Qingyao's plea, Ruan Weiliang was sentenced to immediate execution, and Baoqing Tower and all the Chen family's property were returned to Meng.

The British duke was fined three years' salary for failing to manage his household properly.

The case would have ended just like that.

The Meng family wanted to sell Baoqing Tower, but who would dare to take over Baoqing Tower at that time?

Meng didn't have time to waste at Baoqinglou, so she registered the store under the name of her one-month-old daughter Chen Yangli and closed the shop.

There was no one left in the Chen family, so Chen could only take her daughter back to her parents' home in Guanzhong Prefecture.

After settling Yangli down, Chen returned to Luocheng.

On New Year's Eve of that year, Chen wrote a letter in blood and posted it on the gate of Jingzhao Yin.

Then, wearing only thin plain clothes, he crashed to death in front of the stone lions outside the Jingzhao Yin Gate.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, many people gathered in front of the gate of Jingzhao Yin.

The blood letter clearly described the Chen family’s injustice, the cause and effect.

Chen hid behind a rockery and heard that the "eldest master" had people rob the Chen family's property. The maid died in his place, and her father-in-law had his ears and tongue cut off and died a painful death. Twenty-eight lives of the Chen family were taken away by only one housekeeper.

Chen was unwilling to accept this...

For the first time, the Dayu Kingdom held an early morning court session on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Even though we knew that Ruan Xinming was involved in the Chen family tragedy, we still couldn't hold him accountable if we couldn't find any favorable evidence to incriminate him.

The Dali Temple and Jingzhao Yin were once again busy with the affairs of the Chen family.

Finally, it was discovered that day that during the six months that Ruan Weiliang occupied Baoqing Tower, Ruan Weiliang had handed over the income of Baoqing Tower to Ruan Xinming.

No matter how Duke Ren Ying claimed he had no knowledge of the matter, and no matter how Ruan Qingyao begged, Ruan Xinming was still sentenced to life exile in the scorching heat of Bashu County.

In Guanzhong Prefecture, Meng's father and mother were deeply shocked by Meng's death and have been in poor health ever since.

At that time, Yangli was named Mengli, and was announced to the outside world as the daughter of Yangli's half-uncle Mengqi.

When Yangli was four years old, Meng's father passed away.

Meng Qi's attitude towards Meng Mu and Yang Li changed drastically.

He asked Meng Mu to give him all of Yang Li's money, but Meng Mu of course disagreed.

It was then that Yang Li learned about his own life experience.

Later, Meng's mother passed away, and Meng Qi took all the family property and even wanted to kill Yang Li.

Meng Qi's wife, Lan, had known Yang Li and her daughter for nearly five years and had a deep affection for them.

In order to protect Yang Li, Lan was beaten by Meng Qi many times.

After Yang Li's fifth birthday, Meng Qi was suddenly reminded that Yang Li also owned a shop in the capital.

If they went to Luocheng, relying on Yangli's shop, it would definitely be better than staying in Guanzhong Prefecture.

Meng Qi took Yang Li to Luocheng.

Lan was worried, so she settled her own child and followed him.

Yangli's household registration was still under the name of Chen Yangli, and she had the key to Baoqinglou. Soon, the news that Baoqinglou was about to reopen spread.

Unfortunately, before the business opened, Meng Qi died in a brothel in Luocheng, reportedly from a stroke.

Lan had a feeling something was wrong and wanted to take Yang Li back to Guanzhong Prefecture.

For some unknown reason, their carriage collided with the carriage of Prince An returning from Bashu County.

The driver was trampled to death by the horses on the spot.

In order to protect Yang Li, Lan was hit on the head by a carriage.

Before she died, she leaned over and whispered in Yang Li's ear, asking her to go to an orphanage as an orphan and never tell anyone that she had a lot of money.

Yang Li watched Lan die in front of his own eyes.

Prince An was also thrown out of the carriage.

The Jingzhao Yin had a headache because one of the princes fell out of the carriage.

One is an orphan and a widow, and the parents are already dead.

This matter is difficult to judge.

Prince An kept crying out in pain.

The doctor who was called also said that the prince had fallen seriously and would need to rest more in Luocheng.

Sure enough, many years later, King An's health deteriorated due to the incident of frightening his horse, and he rarely stayed in his fiefdom.

He would be carried back after less than two months every year.

Not only was Prince An injured, but his only son, the two-year-old grandson Li Zhenyu, was also crying uncontrollably.

Prince An's coachman was relentless towards the five-year-old Yangli, insisting that it was Yangli's coachman who deliberately bumped into Prince An's carriage and demanded compensation.

Prince Qing, who came to watch the fun, first sneered at Prince An's cries of pain in a rhythmic manner.

He then scolded Prince An's attendant, saying that he had the nerve to bully a five-year-old child.

Princess An, Ruan Xinyu, forced Yang Li to reveal her identity and asked her if someone had instructed her to assassinate Prince An.

Yang Li was trembling with fear, but he knew that Princess An was his enemy—someone from the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, so he glared at Ruan Xinyu fiercely.

The maidservant beside Ruan Xinyu slapped Yang Li several times.

Prince Qing couldn't stand it anymore.

Isn't it shameful for a group of adults to embarrass a child?

The Jingzhao Yin finally found out that Yangli came to Luocheng with a coachman and a couple.

Now that the three adults are dead, there is only a little girl left. We can't really let a child go to jail.

Ruan Xinyu knew that Yang Li was the child from the Chen family a few years ago, and her eyes were cold.

Prince Qing said with contempt that the Ruan family had committed a sin and let a child suffer, and then he took Yang Li away.

At that time, Princess Qing was stabbed in the lower abdomen by an assassin, and the Qing Palace had no children.

Prince Qing and his wife didn't know how to raise a child.

But if we let this child stay outside, considering the people in the Duke of Yingguo’s Mansion, I’m afraid Yang Li won’t survive for a few days.

Prince Qing threw Yang Li into Prince Lin's mansion.

At that time, Li Jiren was only two years old, and Li Jixin was not yet born.

Princess Lin was kind-hearted. When she heard about Yang Li's tragic life, she kept Yang Li.

She told Yang Li that she could just wait for him to grow up and leave on his own.

Yang Li met several little girls of the same age in Prince Lin's Mansion. Some of them had tragic life stories like Yang Li, and some were abandoned orphans.

These girls are well taken care of in Prince Lin’s Mansion. They can read and write, learn embroidery, and practice martial arts.

Yang Li was thinking about revenge, so she practiced martial arts with Ziying and other girls.

Yang Li is talented and has good kung fu skills.

At the age of fourteen, she left Prince Lin's Mansion and went to Bashu County, hoping to seek revenge on Ruan Xinming.

But something unexpected happened...
