The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

Cui Ruixin panicked immediately.

If the Taoist priest is caught and she gets involved, that would be troublesome.

"Granny, are you sure you've swept the tail clean?" she asked, gripping Li's hand tightly.

"Don't worry, Madam, there won't be any problems." Madam Li nodded emphatically.

……

Yu Kangjing caught the Taoist priest and beat him up without saying a word.

"Tell me, who sent you to frame my daughter?"

The Taoist priest wasn't exactly a tough nut to crack, and after being beaten, he naturally confessed everything.

"There's someone..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Kangjing punched him in the nose.

"Can you tell me?"

The Taoist priest, dizzy from the punch, nodded hastily, "I'll talk, I'll talk, there was someone..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Kangjing punched him in the stomach again.

The Taoist priest almost vomited the wine he drank.

"You're really stubborn. You won't talk, huh? Fine, you just wait." Yu Kangjing questioned him while hitting him.

The Taoist priest wanted to cry but had no tears.

He could tell that this person was genuinely seeking revenge!

He immediately replied in as fast as he could, "Someone gave me money to go."

He was afraid that if he spoke too slowly, he would get another punch.

Upon hearing this, Yu Kangjing thought to himself, "Just as I thought!"

He threw the Taoist priest to the ground and demanded sharply, "Who are you?"

"I don't know either. The man was wearing a bamboo hat, and judging from his voice, he was about forty years old. That's all I know. I've already spent all my money. Please, sir, let me go." The Taoist priest knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Let you go? You wish. Come back to the manor with me and we'll identify you!" Yu Kangjing sneered and dragged him back.

The fact that someone could remember the details of his adoption of the child so clearly must have been done by someone from the manor.

Unable to break free, the Taoist priest had no choice but to resign himself to following him back to the Marquis's residence.

The old Marquis and his wife learned the whole story from Yu Kangjing, and looking at the Taoist priest who had been beaten black and blue, they were somewhat suspicious.

"Did you somehow force a confession out of them under torture?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Kangjing flew into a rage: "I am your own son, and you don't believe me but believe an outsider like him? He himself admitted that someone bribed him!"

"It's not that we don't believe you, but you've done so much for that child. Who knows if this time it's because you forced him to do it..." the old lady muttered softly.

"Mother! If you don't believe me, then report it to the authorities. Let the government handle it." Yu Kangjing was truly angry now.

Cui Ruixin was afraid that he would really report it to the authorities and uncover more and more cases, so she quickly said, "Why don't we find all the servants in the house and let him identify them first?"

Anyway, she had her family handle it.

We are not afraid that they will recognize us in the mansion.

The old lord and his wife remained silent, letting the Taoist priest identify them one by one.

The Taoist priest, his eyes swollen from being punched, tried to identify each person, but all of them shook their heads.

"neither."

Upon hearing this, Yu Kangjing frowned.

If it's not someone from the manor, then who could it be?

"Since they can't find out, could it be that they bribed someone outside to inform them of the situation inside the manor?" This was the first thing Shen Jinzhu thought of.

“But who would hold a grudge against a child?” Cui Ruixin retorted.

"That's true." Shen Jinzhu sighed.

For a time, the trail went cold here.

"Never mind, let's report this to the authorities first." Yu Kangjing decided to hand the person over to the government for investigation.

This kind of swindler deserves to be in jail.

Cui Ruixin didn't want them to send the person to the authorities, so she quickly said, "Wouldn't it be bad to report to the authorities? If others find out that we've been deceived, it might damage the reputation of the Marquis's mansion."

The old Marquis and his wife also felt that what she said made sense.

Yu Kangjing wanted to refute, but was stopped by his wife.

Shen Jinzhu said calmly, "Yes, sister-in-law is right. We'll handle this privately."

Yu Kangjing disagreed, but his wife pinched him hard, and he shut up.

In times like these, listening to your wife is the right thing to do.

"What does your third sister-in-law plan to do with him?" Cui Ruixin pressed.

"There's no need for you to worry about such a small matter, sister-in-law." Shen Jinzhu bowed and let Yu Kangjing lead the person back to her courtyard.

Cui Ruixin wanted to intervene, but the third family left without looking back.

He returned to his own courtyard.

Yu Kangjing couldn't help but ask, "What does Madam intend to do? Are you really going to let him go like this?"

"How could I? If I let him go, how could I face Yaoyao?"

Shen Jinzhu glared at the Taoist priest with hatred.

“Pull him through the streets, make him confess his crimes, and then send him to the authorities.”

If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been separated from Yaoyao and her daughter.

"No, please! You might as well send me to the government office!" the Taoist priest said anxiously.

This is too embarrassing.

But no one paid attention to his opinions.

Following his wife's instructions, Yu Kangjing found a servant to lead the swindler through the streets with drums and gongs, and even had someone read out his crimes to warn the people of the capital against such scams.

Before long, the matter became a hot topic and the whole capital knew about it.

Upon hearing the news, Cui Ruixin was stunned and immediately went to question Shen Jinzhu about her intentions.

"Third sister-in-law, what you're doing will damage the reputation of the Marquis's mansion. If Father and Mother find out, they will be very angry."

“We didn’t mention the Marquis’s mansion. We were just reminding everyone to be careful of such scams. Otherwise, if someone’s child is playing by the roadside and a scammer pretends to be a Taoist priest and says he’s a demon and can take him away, wouldn’t that be very unsafe?” Shen Jinzhu replied calmly.

“We are doing a great deed that will accumulate merit. Father and Mother will certainly not mind.”

Cui Ruixin didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Yes, although the third branch of the family did not explicitly say that the Taoist priest was deceiving the Marquis's family.

But the guests who attended the first birthday celebration a few days ago will definitely be able to identify their own roles.

Then, wouldn't that wash away Yu Ningyao's reputation as a demon?

"Or is it that you know that Taoist priest and don't want him to be embarrassed like this?" Shen Jinzhu asked tentatively.

"How could that be? I'm just worried about the reputation of the Marquis's mansion." Cui Ruixin felt a chill run down her spine, almost thinking that she had discovered the truth.

"You know, I'm the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, so I have a lot to consider." She held Shen Jinzhu's hand, sighed, and began to ramble on about her hardships.

……

The news of the Taoist priest's parade through the streets also reached Princess Ning Le's ears.

She knew that this must have been the work of Yu Kangjing and his wife.

However, out of consideration for the Marquis's reputation, they could not speak frankly.

But what's the use of doing this? It still doesn't directly wash away the bad reputation of Little Lucky Star.

"No, I must clear her name, otherwise her future path will become increasingly difficult."

Princess Ning Le gazed at the sleeping Yu Ningyao and gently stroked her head.

"Don't worry. You have saved me twice, so I will ensure you a peaceful and prosperous life, and wealth until old age."
