Qi Lei's face was solemn. He looked at Jixiang and said, "Jixiang, I've left it to you. You can continue to ask. I'll go find my father."

Ji Xiang nodded, "Uncle, walk slowly."

After Qi Lei left, Ji Xiang walked slowly and leisurely to Shopkeeper Niu.

"How do you know Prince Duan?"

"I was one of his guards."

"Who is Mr. Niu?"

"Of course it's the woman I love."

"After you killed the Niu family, where were they buried?!"

Mr. Lou next to him was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head when he heard Ji Xiang ask this question, "He, they, they actually..."

She suddenly hugged Jiang and tried hard not to cry.

But the tears were pouring out and I couldn't stop them.

Jiang Peipei brought the soaked Niu over and threw her next to shopkeeper Niu.

Niu choked on the water and had only the strength to exhale.

Shopkeeper Niu looked distressed and wanted to treat him, but he looked at Jixiang worriedly.

Ji Xiang gave him a saving gesture.

"Jixiang, are my cousin, my cousin, and my cousin all dead?!" Seeing that Jixiang was a little empty, Lou hurried over and asked.

Jixiang took Lou's hand with relief and said, "Third Aunt, it's been more than ten years since this happened. No matter what the outcome is, you have to hold on."

Lou nodded, "I never doubted that they were fake."

"Why can't I see that they are fake? It's all my fault. If only I could..."

"Mom, stop blaming yourself. This has nothing to do with you. If they want to harm others, you can't prevent them." Jiang Peipei put her arm around Lou's shoulders to comfort them.

"Yes, third sister-in-law, if Jixiang hadn't exposed this matter, we would still have been kept in the dark."

"I must know what happened to my aunt and the others?!" Lou said and rushed to Shopkeeper Niu, "Where did you hide my aunt and the others? Tell me quickly, where did you hide them?!"

Shopkeeper Niu was treating Mr. Niu when he was interrupted by Mr. Lou and gave him a vicious look.

"When my Laner wakes up, I will tell you everything. Now, stay away!"

He pushed Lou away angrily.

Jixiang signaled Jiang Peipei to take Lou away.

"Don't worry, I will ask you all these questions clearly."

Ji Xiang is waiting to interrogate Shopkeeper Niu, while Qi Lei has already met Mr. Qi in the study.

"Father, just now Jixiang asked Shopkeeper Niu, Shopkeeper Niu admitted that it was King Duan's order to make the women in the house sterile."

"What? Prince Duan?!" Mr. Qi's expression froze, "He, why would he do this?!"

"Ruoyi's son speculates that he doesn't want us to be Prince Ning's help."

Mr. Qi smiled bitterly, "His plan is really far-reaching. Otherwise, our Qi family has three generations, but the second generation, you and your second brother are just bad guys?"

"If we want to help Prince Ning, what's the use of his calculations?!"

"Father," Qi Lei was thoughtful and wanted to say but hesitated.

Although Mr. Qi is a military general who has been stationed in southern Xinjiang for many years for the Great Holy Dynasty, he is not a brainless person.

"Do you think he is going to attack our Qi Mansion?!"

"If he has such plans, what he needs to do now is to get rid of the thorn in his side like you and me."

"Without you and me and my second brother, our Qi family will have no heirs. When the time comes, let alone the Qi family, the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan will probably be taken back."

Mr. Qi was silent for a long time. After a while, he suddenly laughed.

"Before Prince Ning left, he told me to stay calm and not to take sides. It seems that our Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion will not be able to do anything if we do not take sides."

"Boss, you immediately send someone to write a letter to Prince Ning, telling him that we, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, are keeping an eye on Suzhou, and Prince Duan's people will never go south from here!"

"If anyone dares to come forward to support him, he must first obtain our consent!"

Qi Lei was happy, "Father, we should have made a decision long ago. I will write to Prince Ning right away. In addition, how about sending someone to the Governor's Mansion?"

Mr. Qi thought for a while, "I'll go find Shi Hong myself!"

The father and son then went about their own business, as if they had long forgotten about Mr. Niu and the shopkeeper Niu in the front yard.

In the front yard, Mrs. Niu had already woken up after being tortured by shopkeeper Niu.

At this time, only Mrs. Qi and Ji Xiang, as well as Mrs. Chen and Mr. Lou were left in the yard.

Everyone else was ordered to leave by Mrs. Qi.

After all, the Qi Mansion didn't want more people to know about this kind of thing involving the new emperor.

Seeing that the person in front of her didn't have a good look on her, Mrs. Niu hid behind Shopkeeper Niu.

"Now that I'm fine, Mr. Niu, please continue to tell me how Prince Duan allowed you to control the Hou Mansion and the heirs of the Jiang Mansion. What did he intend to do by doing this?"

"If you want to harm them, set fire, shoot cold arrows, poison, etc. These methods are more effective than your method."

"And in order to achieve your goals, you even disguised yourself, and you disguised yourself for sixteen years. During these sixteen years, living as someone else was actually not easy."

When Mrs. Niu heard this, she burst into tears and slapped shopkeeper Niu hard.

"I blame you, I blame you! If you didn't insist on listening to that person, why would we be like this?!"

She crawled up to Old Madam Qi in embarrassment, "Old Madam, you can punish me however you want. I only want my child. Please let me take the child away!"

Shopkeeper Niu grabbed Mr. Niu and said, "Uncle Qi has promised that if we tell them about Prince Duan, he will keep our family of four safe."

"Then tell me quickly. Tell me everything you know." Niu urged.
