After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Everyone looked at the maidservant and saw her kneeling on the ground shivering. She was so thin and small. It was unimaginable that she poisoned one person and forced another to hang herself.

He'er lay on the ground for a long time, and everyone in the hall became a little anxious.

"He'er, if it weren't for you, please explain clearly that I, the Princess, will not let them wrongly accuse you here!" Murong Lingyi frowned.

He'er let out a long breath, then raised his head, straightened his back, and his expression changed from timid and panicked to now cold and stern.

"It was me. I poisoned Mrs. Marquis Wuchang. Just as His Highness guessed, in order to leave enough time to commit the crime, I poisoned the princess's wine. When I came out of Feifeng Palace, I saw Chen Xuan stealing something, so I forced her to help me replace the poisonous pills in Mrs. Zhou's medicine box. I didn't want to kill her at first, so I gave her 100 taels of silver to shut her up. But then His Highness began to investigate the case and denied that Dr. Zhou was the murderer. When I started looking for Chen Xuan, I knew she had to die. I gave the princess an idea to kill Aunt Zhou in Ziyun Temple in order to get close to Chen Xuan. Unexpectedly, when we met again, she threatened me and asked for money. , I gave her another 100 taels, this time to buy her life."

He'er spoke calmly and calmly, with a hint of ruthlessness. She was by no means an ordinary little maid.

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, "Why did you poison Mrs. Wuchang Hou?"

"I am for the princess."

"You for me?" Murong Lingyi's eyes widened, "I didn't let you kill her!"

"Mrs. Hou always makes things difficult for the princess. She also wants to marry the young master's concubines and take concubines. As the princess's maid, I really can't stand it, so I took this vicious step."

"You!" Murong Lingyi gritted his teeth, "You are confused!"

"Yes, I am confused. I plead guilty." He'er was lying on the ground.

The Marquis of Wuchang, who was sitting next to him and had been silent all this time, sighed, "My family is unlucky."

After saying that, he stood up and saluted Yan Mu, "Your Majesty, Seventh Highness, thank you for running around on my wife's case these days."

After saying this, the Marquis of Wuchang walked out and walked in front of the eldest princess. He stopped, paused, and bowed again.

"Master Hou, you..."

"Princess, I am begging you. Please agree to make peace between Changfeng and the princess, so that our Xue family can be clean."

The eldest princess frowned and took a deep breath, "If the two of them agree, I won't stop it."

"Princess, may I also beg you?" Marquis Wuchang looked at Murong Lingyi.

Murong Lingyi's face turned red and she stamped her feet: "This princess does not agree to the divorce!"

"you!"

"This county wants to divorce my husband!"

"Murong Lingyi, don't go too far!" Xue Changfeng shouted, "Your maid poisoned my mother for you. This is your fault. If I don't stop you, I will give you face in the eldest princess's palace!"

"I am the princess. If you want to divorce your husband, you can divorce your husband. You have to endure it even if you grit your teeth!" Murong Lingyi said with his chin raised.

"you……"

"That's good, after all, you can't just laugh at my house." Wuchang Hou glanced at the eldest princess, then flicked his sleeves and walked outside.

The eldest princess held her forehead. Seeing that Murong Lingyi was still making trouble, she shouted at her, "If you're not embarrassed, come back home with me!"

The murderer had confessed, but Yan Mu did not pronounce the sentence in court, but just released Zhou Lihuai.

When Xue Changfeng left, he first glared at Yan Mu, and then thanked him.

Yan Mu looked at his awkward look and said with a smile: "Mr. Xue, we will definitely not come back drunk someday."

Xue Changfeng snorted, "I'm afraid you'll sell me out."

"It's not worth much."

"If I drink with you again, I'll be a stick!" After saying that, he stormed away.

At this time, the nun from Ziyun Temple took out a banknote from her arms and handed it to Yan Mu. Yan Mu opened it and found the denomination of 100 taels on it.

"Is this Chen Xuan's?"

The nun nodded, "This morning, an old woman who often begged at the mountain gate gave it to me. She said it was given to her by Donor Chen, but the denomination was too big and she didn't dare to spend it. She was even more frightened when she heard that Donor Chen had hanged himself. It was a great deal, so he hesitated for two days before giving me the banknote."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she hurriedly shouted: "Give me the banknote quickly. Chen Xuan is my daughter, and what's hers is mine!"

Liu Yunxiang snorted coldly: "Don't you understand? Chen Xuan would rather give this bank note to someone she doesn't know than to you, because she is already disappointed in you."

She asked He'er for 100 taels to buy her life, and she must have wanted to give it to her mother, but maybe she bumped into her brother who was gambling, or maybe she saw her mother's indifference towards her, which made her realize the true face of the two relatives.

Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment. She didn't know how to reflect, but she cursed: "This little hoof, I raised her so big that she became a white-eyed wolf. Didn't I just ask her for money a few times, and she met my enemy when she saw me?" It seems like she really deserves her short life, and God will take her away. In short, this money must be given to me, otherwise I will make trouble in front of your government!"

Yan Mu sneered coldly, "You still want to make trouble in front of the government, can you get out of the government?"

"What do you mean? I didn't break the law!"

"Chen Xuan stole things from the palace and pawned them off. This is a serious crime of beheading. Although she is dead, you still forced her to take money even though you knew that she stole things from the palace and sold them to you. This is instigating her to steal. Those in the palace should be treated as accomplices. Although they are not punishable by death, you will spend the rest of your life in prison!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen suddenly fell to the ground.

And when the officer took her to jail, she shouted unwillingly: "Please give me the 100 taels to my son. I can't let the people in the gambling shop chop off his hand!"

Liu Yunxiang frowned, how could there be such a mother in the world? It's really disgusting!

Zhou Lihuai was released in court. When the officer opened his handcuffs, he couldn't hold back and sobbed.

"I thought...I thought I wouldn't survive...how many days and nights...I looked at the small window...desperate...I thought I would never see the blue sky and white clouds again..."

Yan Mu walked down the hall, walked up to Zhou Lihuai, and gave him a disgusted look, "It's not embarrassing for a grown man to cry like this."

"Lao Qi!" Zhou Lihuai hugged Yan Mu's leg.

Yan Mu hurriedly hid, but failed, so he kicked him, "How long has it been since you fucking took a shower? It stinks like hell!"

"Lao Qi, you will be my reborn parents from now on. I will remember your great kindness and kindness forever!"

"No, no need."

"Lao Qi, with you as my brother, I, Zhou Lihuai, am blessed with the blessings of three lifetimes of cultivation!"

"Are you still wiping your tears on me?"

"From now on, my person is yours, and my heart is also yours. I will do whatever you ask me to do, for the rest of my life..."

"To shut up!"

Zhou Lihuai's wife, Pan, ran in from outside the hall. She was wiping tears in excitement, but when she saw this scene, her tears stopped immediately. After a long while, he covered his face with his hands, probably feeling embarrassed, and took two steps back.

Liu Yunxiang smiled dryly and said, "They have such a good relationship as brothers."

Mrs. Pan also laughed twice, "My husband is not like this on weekdays."

"is it?"

"Well, I only cry when I'm drunk."

"Oh, I've seen it before."

"what?"

Zhou Lihuai was frightened every day in the prison, eating poorly and sleeping poorly. Now after crying a lot, all his remaining strength was used up and he fainted.

Pan: "..."

After putting Zhou Lihuai on the carriage, Liu Yunxiang and Yan Mu walked home.

"When did you suspect Murong Lingyi's maid?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"Mr. Chen was making trouble outside the eldest princess's residence, but Murong Lingyi didn't feel guilty, so I was thinking, who else could it be if she wasn't her."

"It's true that we have been ignoring the little maid next to her."

"but……"

"what?"

"This little maid served Murong Lingyi after she followed Xue Changfeng to Weizhou. The time was not long enough that Xue Changfeng didn't even remember her. In such a short period of time, how loyal she could be to Murong Lingyi. Did she poison the Marquis of Wuchang for her? And if she really did it for Murong Lingyi, didn't she think that once the matter was exposed, it would be the consequence of Xue Changfeng and Murong Lingyi breaking up? And this He'er, with his martial arts and courage , scheming, powerful in everything, is she really just a little maid?"
