236. The Third Prince's Death

After Sun Erniu finished his confession, Lin Qingxue was so angry that she was shaking all over. She could never have imagined that someone would do such a cruel thing to several children just to deal with her.

Gu Jinxuan hugged her in his arms distressedly and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, you and the child will be fine."

"Jinxuan, no matter who is behind this, I will not let him go. Since the aristocratic families are involved, the Xin family must be involved as well. The third prince must die. Let's start with the Xin family!" Lin Qingxue said gritting her teeth.

Gu Jinxuan nodded, his eyes revealing determination: "Qingxue, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. No one from any of the families involved will be left alive."

Gu Jinyu stood aside, clenching his fists, his eyes filled with anger: "How dare you touch anyone from my Gu family? You're simply courting death."

Gu Jinxuan looked at Sun Erniu and said coldly, "What does that man in black look like? You'd better confess the truth, otherwise, you know the consequences."

Sun Erniu turned pale with fear and said quickly, "He was masked. I only saw that he was tall and had a deep voice. As for the rest... I really don't know."

Gu Jinyu frowned: "It seems that the person behind this is very cautious and didn't leave many clues, but the Xin family should not be able to escape."

Lin Qingxue pondered for a moment and said, "Being able to arrange personnel near the Imperial Manor and knowing the situation there, this person must have considerable influence in the Imperial City. Jinyu, focus on investigating the noble families and ministers who are close to the Xin family and the Third Prince."

Gu Jinyu nodded slightly. "I'll send someone to check and see which noble families have behaved unusually recently. But, sister-in-law, do you suspect the ministers are involved?"

"The aristocratic family's current position is inseparable from the help of Concubine Shu and the Third Prince. The Third Prince certainly doesn't have the ability to do this alone. He must have someone helping him. Every generation of emperors must have many people involved behind the scenes. If the aristocratic family wants to push the Third Prince to the throne, there must be ministers in the court who are also involved."

After a pause, Lin Qingxue continued, "This trip to the Imperial Manor must have been prepared for a long time by the Third Prince and the people behind him. If you follow this line of inquiry, you will surely find many unexpected things."

Gu Jinxuan and Gu Jinyu looked at each other, with a hint of surprise and unexpectedness in their eyes. They didn't expect Lin Qingxue to have this ability.

"Were the Sun family members dealt with or locked up?" Gu Jinxuan asked tentatively. After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Xiaoya specifically.

"Kill them! There's no point keeping them alive. Jinyu, please go to the Sun family again and ask everyone in Sun Village to move to Lin Village. There will no longer be a Sun Village. Also, take Xiaowan with you to Lin Village and explain this to Village Chief Lin. Ask them to accept the people from Sun Village."

Lin Qingxue didn't want to let the Sun family go, so she would naturally not leave any of them alive this time. However, the other villagers in Sunjia Village had helped her and her two children in some way in the past, so she naturally couldn't kill them.

"I understand, sister-in-law, I'll go right away," Gu Jinyu nodded in response. Hearing her words, Gu Jinxuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing that the Sun family was going to be dealt with, the sisters Gu Xiaoya and Gu Xiaowan also breathed a sigh of relief. They could finally get rid of the Sun family.

If the Sun family were good people, Gu Xiaoya wouldn't mind spending some money to support them, but they were a group of things worse than animals. This time, they not only harmed the three sisters, but also almost harmed their mother. She would never forgive them.

"Let's go! Go back and rest! Xiaoya, you should have a good rest. Huaining, watch over your sister and don't let her move around," Lin Qingxue looked at her three daughters with a very gentle expression.

"I understand, mother," Gu Xiaoya and Gu Huaining looked at each other and said in unison.

After going through this ordeal, the relationship between the three sisters Gu Xiaoya, Gu Huaining and Gu Xiaowan became even closer.

Gu Jinxuan carefully carried Lin Qingxue back to the tent and placed her on the bed. He sat beside the bed, gently holding her hand, his eyes always looking at her gently and firmly.

"Qingxue, rest assured. I'll take care of everything. I will bring those people to justice and make them pay for their actions."

Lin Qingxue nodded slightly and closed her eyes tiredly. This series of misfortunes had left her mentally and physically exhausted, but as long as she thought of Gu Jinxuan and her three lovely daughters, she had the motivation to continue.

Gu Jinyu and Gu Xiaowan headed non-stop to Sunjia Village, accompanied by a group of people escorting them.

Along the way, Gu Xiaowan followed closely behind Gu Jinyu, her eyes revealing a determination that was inconsistent with her age. "Second Uncle, this time we must make sure those bad guys get the punishment they deserve."

Gu Jinyu patted her head and said, "Don't worry, Xiaowan, your parents won't let those people go, and neither will your second uncle and the Gu family."

When they arrived at Sunjia Village, Gu Jinyu, following Lin Qingxue's instructions, informed the villagers that the Sun family had been dealt with and conveyed the decision to have them relocate to Linjia Village.

When the villagers learned about the evil deeds of Sun Erniu's family, they were all sighing and had no objection to the relocation.

So, Gu Jinyu and the others protected the people from Sunjia Village and came to Linjia Village. After all the trouble, it was almost dark.

The villagers of Sunjia Village did not feel reluctant to move out of Sunjia Village. They had just settled in Sunjia Village because not only were the lands there wastelands, but even the houses were abandoned houses left over from the past. They could always hear the howling of wild beasts at night. They had long wanted to stop living there, but they just moved away because it had no effect.

The group arrived at Linjia Village, and Gu Jinyu and Gu Xiaowan took Village Chief Sun to find Village Chief Lin.

At the home of Linjia Village's headman, upon hearing this, his face darkened. "I never thought Sun Erniu would do such an outrageous thing. Fortunately, Qingxue and the children are safe. We in Linjia Village will definitely accept the people from Sunjia Village and let them settle down here. We won't vent our anger on them. Xiaowan, is your mother okay? Is your sister seriously injured?"

"Great-grandfather, my mother is fine. She was just frightened. She also had a lot of bleeding after giving birth to my younger siblings, so she is very weak. My eldest sister broke her leg and needs to stay in bed for a while. So does my mother. Don't worry."

Gu Xiaowan walked to Village Chief Lin, supported him, and whispered to him to comfort him, saying that Village Chief Lin was a good man and was good to them.

"I'm glad you're okay, old woman. Go ask your wife to catch a few old hens for Xiaowan to take back to Qingxue. Women who have just given birth need to drink old hen soup. Xiaowan, do you have ginseng at home? When you make the chicken soup, cut a few slices of ginseng and throw it in. Drink it every two or three days. It will slowly replenish your mother's body."

Village chief Lin smiled at Lin Xiaowan and said that he liked girls who were considerate and filial. If old man Lin had not disagreed, Lin Qingxue would have been his granddaughter.

"Got it, Great Grandfather. I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring you anything. When I come back to see you next time, I will bring you your favorite wine and roast duck. You can keep it for yourself and don't share it with your uncles."

Gu Xiaowan leaned close to Village Chief Lin and whispered in his ear. Although her voice was low, everyone could hear it because Village Chief Lin's hearing was not very good and no one could hear it if the voice was too low.

"Well, it's you sisters and your mother who are nice to me, an old man. You just come here and they won't let me drink," Village Chief Lin complained in a low voice, but his tone was full of satisfaction.

"Then come to my house next time. My father and grandfather have a lot of good wine. I will find some for you, but you can't drink too much," Gu Xiaowan said with a smile.

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and then Village Chief Lin asked Lin Qingchu to go outside to settle the villagers of Sunjia Village. He also chatted with Village Chief Sun for a while.

When Lin Qingxue was beaten so badly by the Sun family, it was Village Chief Sun who asked his grandson to come and inform them of the news, so Village Chief Lin remembered his kindness.

Lin Qingxue is his great-granddaughter and a direct descendant of the Lin family. As the patriarch and village chief of Linjia Village, and Lin Qingxue's great-grandfather, he naturally has to repay the favor on behalf of the child.

Linjia Village is not very big, but it is more than enough to accommodate the people from Sunjia Village. It’s just that there are no extra houses at the moment. Fortunately, the weather is warm, so they can set up a tent outside to live in first.

Then, we will hurry up and build the house in the next few days, and then go to open up wasteland and grow crops.

There isn't much else in Linjia Village except for a lot of wasteland. As long as you are willing to work hard, you won't starve to death in Linjia Village.

On the second day after the villagers of Sunjia Village settled down, Lin Qingchu took the villagers to help them build houses. In just half a month, everyone had built a house, and they went out to open up wasteland together.

Some people were clearing the land, and some were asked by Lin Qingming to work.

After the Lin family learned about Lin Qingxue's situation, they were all very worried about her. Knowing that she was still in the imperial manor, they suppressed their worries and anxieties and prepared to wait until she returned to the Gu Mansion before visiting her.

Lin Qingxue stayed in the imperial farm for two days before being sent back to the Gu Mansion by Gu Jinxuan. Princess Anyang and six young masters also went back with her.

After returning to the mansion, Princess Anyang asked the imperial physician to diagnose Lin Qingxue and several children. She was relieved to confirm that the six children were fine, and Lin Qingxue and the twins who had just been born were also fine. They just needed some minor nourishment.

The imperial manor was still heavily guarded. Gu Jinyu found out that several ministers were secretly colluding with the third prince, although they did not participate in the attack on the three princesses of the Gu Mansion.

However, forming cliques and pursuing personal gain in private is definitely a crime.

The emperor would not tolerate these ministers. All the ministers involved had their property confiscated and were exiled, and those ministers who participated in the targeting of the three princesses naturally could not escape death.

Not only the ministers, but even the aristocratic families could not escape. Several of the leading families were confiscated, and as for the remaining families that did not participate, part of their property was confiscated and put into the national treasury, making the aristocratic families bleed heavily before they were let off.

After everything was over, half a month had passed and the emperor planned to return to the palace.

Gu Jinxuan was anxious to return home to accompany Lin Qingxue to look after the children, so he asked the Duke of Protectorate to personally escort the emperor back home. Although the Duke of Protectorate was reluctant, he also wanted to return home to see his grandson and granddaughter.

However, the Duke of Huguo could not defeat Princess Anyang and her group alone, so he had to accept it with a wry smile.

The day after Lin Qingxue returned home, Lin Qingming brought Mrs. Lin, Aunt Lin and others to visit her, and also brought the chickens raised at home.

Seeing that Lin Qingxue was fine except for her pale face, they felt relieved. It is normal for women who have given birth to feel weak, and the body can be replenished slowly.

After looking at the newborn twins, Aunt Lin and the others had lunch at Gu's house before reluctantly returning to Linjia Village.

Life always has to go on. Because of a fracture, Gu Xiaoya rested in the yard and did not go to class.

But Gu Huaiyuan and the others still had to attend classes every day. Because of the incident with Gu Xiaoya and her three sisters, Gu Huaining and the others' martial arts classes became much stricter.

That day, Lin Qingxue had just finished lunch and was about to ask Wen Nuan to help her walk around the room when she heard noise outside. It turned out that Gu Jinxuan and the others had returned.

Not long after, Gu Jinxuan returned to the yard. He stood outside the door and talked to Lin Qingxue for a few words before going to the study to wash up.

After washing up and changing into clean home clothes, he went into the room to see Lin Qingxue and the twins.

Because she was afraid that she would be bored, Lin Qingxue brought the twins here these days. Since they had maids and nannies to take care of them, she did not send the twins to Princess Anyang.

"Qingxue, have you been feeling better these days? Are the twins making trouble?" Gu Jinxuan sat on the bed, hugging D

Lin Qingxue and his wife looked at the twins, a boy and a girl, lying on the small bed.

"I'm much better now. I've been able to walk around for the past two days, but I still don't have much strength. The twins are very well behaved."

After saying that, Lin Qingxue looked up at Gu Jinxuan and asked, "How's the situation? Is everything settled?"

"It's over, everything has been dealt with. The Third Prince was secretly executed. Although he is also the Emperor's uncle's son, he was created because Concubine Shu drugged him. To the Emperor's uncle, the Third Prince's existence is a disgrace and proof of his betrayal of the Empress. If it weren't for the alliance of the aristocratic families disrupting government affairs, the Emperor's uncle would have been afraid of them and would have dealt with Concubine Shu and the Third Prince long ago."

Gu Jinxuan whispered that what he said were all royal secrets. The reason he knew them was because the emperor trusted him and he was the one who handled many bad things.

"What's the outcome for the aristocratic families?" Lin Qingxue asked curiously. She was actually very curious about those aristocratic families.

"There will be no more aristocratic families in the future. Several leading aristocratic families have had their properties confiscated, and most of the remaining families' properties have also been confiscated and confiscated into the national treasury," Gu Jinxuan said, shaking his head, his tone full of joy.

"That's good," Lin Qingxue nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that the Lin family could not stand out and had to develop slowly.

"By the way, Uncle Emperor is planning to arrange a marriage between the Fifth Prince and the Fourth Princess. Uncle Emperor should train the Fifth Prince well next. He values ​​his talent very much."

Gu Jinxuan's words shocked Lin Qingxue, but she also knew that the emperor granted the marriage not only because of Lin Qingmin's talents, but more because he wanted to be tied to her.

"This is a good thing. The Lin family has already split up. I bought a house for the fifth brother. The house near the academy is his. In recent years, my brothers have also bought houses. The fourth princess just needs to live a good life with the fifth brother after she marries in. Don't use your status as a princess to embarrass my family."

Lin Qingxue stood and said, she had no other ideas. With Lin Qingmin's ability, he was a good match for the princess, but she was worried that the princess would not get along with the other three sisters-in-law.

"Don't worry about that! The Fourth Princess is a legitimate daughter. She was well-educated by the Empress and is very kind and gentle. The Emperor uncle also thought of betrothing the Fourth Princess to the Fifth Prince because he was attracted by the Lin family's tradition of not taking concubines."

Gu Jinxuan shook his head. Although he had little contact with the Fourth Princess, he often heard the Crown Prince and the Second Prince talking about her.

"My sisters-in-law are also easy to get along with. If the Fourth Princess is not a bully, then they will get along very well," Lin Qingxue smiled, hoping that the Fourth Princess is a good person!
