After being reborn, I locked up all the scumbags and bitches in one nest.

For families that sell their children, the ringleader is exiled to impoverished and harsh areas to build roads; accomplices are sentenced to prison terms ranging from ten to twenty years depending on their remorse.

Huang Jiabao and others were found guilty of buying, selling, stealing, and robbing children, committing heinous crimes. In addition, after receiving reports from the public about Huang Jiabao's previous acts of bullying men and women, he was sentenced to immediate execution.

The Huang family was also confiscated for protecting Huang Jiabao and causing him to commit various evil deeds. The sentence was determined based on the severity of the crime, ranging from beheading to exile.

Finally, Sun Qing, the magistrate of Qing County, endured all kinds of torture, but still admitted that he was the mastermind and that the old Taoist priest was someone he had found to perform a cruel and monstrous evil spell on his ancestor to rejuvenate him.

Despite threats from the Dali Temple and even his family, Sun Qing stubbornly denied having any other instigators and insisted that he was the mastermind.

Because their crimes were too numerous to count, after consulting with the Emperor, Lord Zhou sentenced Sun Qing and his entire family to be executed, and all their collateral relatives were barred from participating in the imperial examinations and pursuing official careers.

The old Taoist priest said nothing and directly performed the incantation of execution.

After the verdict was announced, the people applauded after learning the whole story. They felt that such a heinous person deserved to die a hundred times over, and many of them also felt a pang of sorrow for the child who had died.

Upon hearing that the Huang family's property had been confiscated and that Huang Jiabao and others had been sentenced to be paraded through the streets and then executed, Shuangling burst into tears of joy. "Miss, thank you so much, Miss! Waaah~ Shuangling has finally avenged her great enemy. My grandfather and mother can finally rest in peace."

Qin Wanyou looked at Shuangling, who was crying her eyes out, and said, "Alright, your grandfather is in heaven and he will definitely see this. You must live a good life and take good care of yourself to comfort the spirits of your grandfather and your mother in heaven."

Shuangling nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Miss. Without you, I would never have seen the day when the wicked are punished."

Qin Wanyou patted Shuangling's head.

Shuangling cried for a while, then looked up and said, "Miss, I want to tell my grandfather and mother this good news in person."

Qin Wanyou naturally had no reason to refuse, "Okay, go ahead. Let Mo Ying accompany you."

Because many people were arrested in Qingshan Village, Qin Wanyou was worried that many villagers harbored resentment and feared retaliation.

Mo Ying also learned about what had happened to Shuang Ling and felt very sorry for her. Upon hearing Qin Wanyou's words, she immediately replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

Shuangling wanted to refuse, but before she could speak...

Qin Wanyou then instructed, "Go early and come back early. Some villagers in Qingshan Village are probably wary of strangers, or even have ill intentions. You must be careful."

Hearing Qin Wanyou say this, Shuangling still had concerns, "Then, Miss, if we leave, who will take care of you?"

Qin Wanyou glanced at Shuangling, "Do you take me for some kind of trash?"

Shuangling immediately panicked, "No, no, that's not what I meant, Miss."

Qin Wanyou understood Shuangling's meaning and looked at the maids and guards standing outside. "I'm not incapable of taking care of myself yet. Besides, with Granny Wang here and so many people in the Wang Mansion, do you think your young lady will go hungry?"

He turned to Shuangling and said, "Go quickly and come back soon."

Since that's the case, Shuangling went to tell Granny Wang, then quickly prepared her things and set off with Moying.

Qin Wanyou stood alone under the peach tree in the courtyard, lost in thought.

I never imagined that old codger Qin Xiang would have such a loyal subordinate, willing to let his entire family die rather than reveal the mastermind. What benefits did Qin Xiang give him, or did he commit some even greater crime behind the scenes?

But it doesn't matter. This time, that old man from the Qin family is dead. Apart from Prime Minister Qin, the men in the Qin family are no match for him and won't last long.

Murong Xiao had quietly arrived behind Qin Wanyou without anyone noticing.

It is now late autumn, and the leaves on the peach trees have turned yellow and fallen to the ground; however, some still stubbornly stand on the branches, refusing to fall with the wind; like a person who wants to stay in bed, unwilling to leave the warm and comfortable quilt; or like a young child who doesn't want to go to school, clinging to the door frame, unwilling to go out for a long time.

The autumn wind rustles, and the leaves flutter and dance in the air like stars.

A piece of it landed on Qin Wanyou's head.

Murong Xiao stepped forward and gently removed the leaf.

Qin Wanyou turned around and bowed slightly, "Your Highness."

Murong Xiao gazed at Qin Wanyou, sighing inwardly, still so distant.

"I wonder what brings Your Highness here?" Qin Wanyou asked.

What a spoilsport!

Murong Xiao grumbled inwardly, but said aloud, "I presume you already know the verdict of the case."

Qin Wanyou nodded.

Murong Xiao asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You're really not Prime Minister Qin's biological daughter?"

Qin Wanyou nodded.

Murong Xiao asked again, "How did you find out? Do you have any evidence?"

Qin Wanyou shook her head, "There's no concrete evidence. I was just testing their reaction."

Murong Xiao asked, "Has anyone investigated the people who delivered the baby back then?"

Qin Wanyou turned to look at the tree branches in front of her that were gradually losing all their leaves. "They've all been silenced."

Upon her rebirth, Qin Wanyou had already learned some details about Qin Deyu's birth from the Qin family elders.

Near the end of that year, Mr. and Mrs. Qin returned to their ancestral home, Qin Family Village, Wuqin Township, Wude County, to pay respects to their ancestors.

Originally, Li was pregnant at the time and should not have gone out due to the strenuous travel.

However, she couldn't stand the complaints of the old lady of the Qin family, who said that Li had never been to the Qin family's old home since she entered the Qin family, and that she should take this opportunity to go back once, otherwise the Qin clan leader would keep bothering Qin Changshi, and she was worried that it would affect Qin Changshi's reputation in the court.

Qin Changshi, an official from Qinjiacun Village in Wuqin Township, Wude County, naturally attracted many people who came to him for favors and assistance.

Back then, Qin Changshi was just an official in the Imperial Household Department with little power, so he was naturally annoyed by the constant harassment from the Qin clan chief.

It was certainly a stroke of good fortune for Qin to marry Li. The Prime Minister also learned from the doctor that Li's pregnancy was stable at the time, so he told Li about his situation and thoughts.

After listening to Prime Minister Qin's words, Li considered them for a while and finally agreed to go back to her ancestral home with him to pay respects to her ancestors. At the same time, she also agreed to have her name added to the Qin family genealogy.

Unexpectedly, on the way back, Li's water broke halfway. She was not yet a month pregnant, and Qin Wanyou and Qin Deyu were born in the wilderness.

Two months later, when they were brought back to the Qin residence.

At that time, Li's health was severely compromised, and Qin Deyu's small body was also in poor condition, often falling ill.

Although Qin Wanyou was thin, she was very healthy.

According to the elders of the Qin family, Li was very resentful of Qin Wanyou at the time, saying that she had taken away her younger brother's nutrition and caused her health to be damaged.

Therefore, Qin Wanyou was not well-liked from a young age.

However, when asked, all the people who went back to the Qin family's hometown with Li at that time said they didn't know where they went, or that they had died.

Therefore, Qin Wanyou could not find any information about the people who went back to their hometown with Prime Minister Li.

Murong Xiao also had someone investigate the circumstances of Li's childbirth at that time.

but,
