Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

"This matter involves the mistress of the mansion, it is of no small importance, so of course we have to make a decision early!"

Thinking of this, Xu Xiuzhu calmed down and pushed Aunt Liu away and grabbed his hand.

"Let witnesses and physical evidence in!"

"Yes, Lord Guo."

Xu Xingyin clapped his hands lightly, and the people below understood and invited the witnesses mentioned earlier into the hall, and also presented the physical evidence one by one.

At first, no one said anything, but when multiple people are confronting each other, all you need to do is pry open one person's mouth, and some things will happen naturally.

Xu Xingyin knew this very well, so he was not in a hurry at all.

"I have invited you all here today. I believe you all know what happened. Although some of you have already confessed, according to custom, you still need to gather in front of the hall so that you can seek justice. I know that you all have your own difficulties, so I can promise you that today, apart from the matter of my mother being poisoned, I will not pursue any other matters."

After saying these words, Xu Xingyin found a comfortable position to sit down, looking like a lady from a noble family.

"Oh, by the way, if someone is lying or hiding the truth, I believe someone here can help you clarify it."

Just a few words ruthlessly broke down their already fragile psychological defenses.

According to what Xu Xingyin meant, someone had already detailed the twists and turns. If they continued to hide it, they would be the ones who would be in trouble!

People tend to seek benefits and avoid harm. When they don't know how much the chips are, they will naturally choose the way that is most beneficial to themselves.

Dongzi was the first to speak, and he immediately accused Dongmei of deliberately seducing him. Mrs. Ding even used this as a threat to extort money from him, portraying herself as extremely innocent.

When Mrs. Ding heard this, she naturally could not sit still. She cursed Dongzi loudly and then explained the whole thing in tears. She repeatedly accused Chen of allowing her slave to commit crimes and of having corrupt character.

Uncle Lei knew that the situation was hopeless, and he admitted his mistake with tears in his eyes. Chen had treated him well over the years, and now it was all thanks to his son that he had come to this point, so naturally he had no choice but to admit his mistake.

Although the scene was quite chaotic for a while, after Xu Xingyin occasionally spoke out a few words to guide them, he finally revealed the whole story -

It is almost completely consistent with what Xu Xingyin said before.

As things progressed to this point, it was naturally impossible for Xu Xiuzhu to favor Aunt Liu anymore.

He looked at Aunt Liu with a face full of grief, then turned his head in anger and asked someone to arrest Aunt Liu.

"Tie Liu Yujing up and send a trafficker to sell her tomorrow. Our mansion will not tolerate such a vicious woman!"

Aunt Liu had never been treated like this before. Her eyes were wide open with a look of disbelief on her face. Her mouth was blocked and she couldn't utter a word. Only a series of "woohoo" sounds could be heard.

Xu Wanmian had never expected that her always favored aunt would end up in such a situation. She grabbed Xu Xiuzhu's clothes and begged for mercy, but was nailed to the spot by Xu Xiuzhu's cold words.

He said, "If anyone begs for mercy, they should get out of the mansion with Liu Yujing. There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and there is a hierarchy. If you can't even understand this most basic principle, our mansion can't afford to support such a Bodhisattva!"

After all, she was Xu Xiuzhu's favorite concubine who had served him for so many years, so Liu Yujing's incident was quite a blow to him.

After dealing with Liu Yujing's matter, he no longer cared about other things and left with his personal attendant.

Old Madam Xu naturally knew Xu Xiuzhu's personality, so she readily took over the handling of the follow-up matters and also asked Xu Xingyin to stay to help deal with them.

As Dongzi molested Dongmei, the Duke's Mansion handed him over to the yamen runners of Shuntian Prefecture. As for how to sentence him, that was a matter of law.

As for his father Uncle Lei, considering that he had worked hard for the Duke's Mansion for many years, he allowed him to return to his hometown with a letter of resignation.

Although Nanny Gu, who was beside Chen, was suspected of shielding the criminal, she was also deceived by Uncle Lei, so she was given a light punishment and a severe warning and fined half a year's salary.

Xu Xingyin's plan killed two birds with one stone. Not only did he get rid of Liu Yujing easily, he also tricked Xu Chaoming in the process.

Liu Yujing is now a criminal, and it is easy to imagine that Xu Chaoming's future will not be smooth.

For a bastard who has just returned home, being under the most favored concubine is actually a good choice.

Liu Yujing has no son, so she naturally puts Xu Chaoming first. She tries to prepare everything for him and sincerely hopes for his well-being.

Xu Chaoming's status as a bastard can also elevate Liu Yujing's status and help her better check and balance the mistress Chen.

For Xu Xiuzhu, Chen and Liu Yujing can check and balance each other. He only needs to pay attention to the art of checks and balances to enjoy the happiness of having both.

It’s a pity that Xu Xingyin broke Xu Xiuzhu’s dream with just one move.

Although it was understandable that Mrs. Ding avenged her daughter, she had done something against the will of heaven and earth after all, so she was also handed over to Shuntian Prefecture.

When she learned that Chen was not aware of this, Mrs. Ding looked a little dazed, but soon started shouting again.

"If it weren't for Madam's indulgence, how could I be controlled by others? I did nothing wrong! I love my daughter so much, what's wrong with avenging Dongmei? The ones who are wrong are you who use your power to oppress us!"

"You're not wrong?"

Xu Xingyin sneered and asked coldly:

"When you agreed to marry Dongmei to Dongzi, did you really consider Dongmei? You only considered your own interests! If you had dared to stand up and say a word for Dongmei and told your mother about this, your mother would have definitely made the decision for Dongmei, and Dongmei would not have ended up like this."

Mrs. Ding screamed when she heard this: "No! No! Everything I did was for Dongmei's own good!"

"For her own good? What do you mean by for her own good? Under such circumstances, even her closest people abandoned her for their own benefit. Have you ever thought about how helpless, angry and scared she must be? It was your cold-bloodedness and greed that became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Dongmei!"

"I didn't abandon her. I didn't. I'm the only one in this world who truly treats her well!"

"Don't use love as a cover-up for your desires. You played an indispensable role in forcing Dongmei to death."

The accusatory voice was loud and clear. Xu Xingyin just looked at Mrs. Ding quietly, watching her expression change from madness to crying, from resentment to regret.

Dongmei's tragedy was not caused by someone. Dongzi was just a fuse. It was the one who pushed her to the edge of despair.

It was because her mother, Mrs. Ding, stood against her.

Seeing how Xu Xingyin handled things in an orderly manner, Old Madam Xu couldn't help but sigh.

As expected of Chen's daughter, Xu Xingyin looks very much like Chen when she was young.

However, Xu Xingyin is a bit smarter than Chen. Chen has always been strong, while Xu Xingyin is tough but gentle, brave and resourceful, which makes people unconsciously led by her.
