He had to cut off his arm to save himself and could no longer tolerate these two cancers, Chen's mother and daughter.

"Master Gao, they have violated the law, framed my daughter Bai Yiyi, and even intended to assassinate the princess. Their crimes are unforgivable. Master Gao, please sentence them strictly according to the law. I will definitely support you."

"Master, you can't do this!" Chen was almost going crazy, "I am the mistress of the Bai Mansion, you can't divorce me."

Seeing that Bai Hong ignored her and had made up his mind, Chen started cursing.

"Bai Hong, you are such an ungrateful man! I have served you for so many years, but you divorced me for the daughter of that bitch Tian. You are such a damn scum!"

"If you dare to divorce me, I won't let you go. I will kill Bai Yiyi and burn down the Bai Mansion..."

"You dare!" Bai Hong was so angry that he was shaking. He slapped Bai Lixuan in the face. Bai Lixuan cried and begged for mercy. The hall was in chaos again.

Finally, Gao Yuanjia ordered the bailiffs to hold down Chen's mother and daughter and pronounce the verdict in court.

Chen and Bai Lixuan will be lashed fifty times and exiled three thousand miles away. The flogging will be carried out today and the departure will be in three days.

The two men cried and made a fuss in despair, but were dragged away by the bailiffs.

Bai Yiyi looked at their backs, feeling mixed emotions.

For a woman, being exiled three thousand miles away is most likely a dead end.

But they deserved it, and she would never let anyone bully her again.

After the trial, Li Jingwan and Bai Yiyi said goodbye.

After all, she is a member of the Bai family. Although she can go to Prince Jing's mansion every day, it is impossible for her to live there all the time.

Bai Hong hurried over at this time, followed by two servants, holding a lot of gifts in their hands.

Li Jingwan was puzzled, "Master Bai, what are you doing?"

"Thank you for your help with Yiyi's matter, Princess." Bai Hong bowed and thanked him. "I have a small gift for you, Princess, please accept it."

"Yiyi is my friend, it's my duty to help, forget about the gift."

Bai Hong wanted to prepare a banquet, but Li Jingwan refused and told him not to send gifts. It was still a war, so it was not appropriate to make a big fuss.

"Princess, these are local specialties, not worth much, please accept them." Bai Hong said with a smile, "If you don't accept them, I will feel uneasy."

"Sister Xiaowan, just accept it." Bai Yiyi said, "I've troubled you so much, just consider it as a token of our appreciation."

Li Jingwan still gave this face, "Put it on the carriage."

Bai Hong nodded repeatedly and said, "Princess, I would like to ask you for a favor."

"What's the matter?"

"Mr. Gao worked overnight to try the case for the Bai Mansion, and I wanted to send you some local specialties to express my gratitude. But I am of humble status, and I met Mr. Gao briefly but never spoke to him, so I would like to ask the princess to introduce me to you."

"I will just give you some local specialties, say a few words of thanks and leave. I will not waste your time or Mr. Gao's time."

After the verdict just now, Gao Yuanjia left in a hurry because he had other things to do. Li Jingwan also wanted to express her gratitude to him, so she agreed, "Let's go."

As a pacification commissioner, Gao Yuanjia should have had a separate house, but he had always been single and had never married, so for convenience he simply lived in the backyard of the pacification office.

Li Jingwan followed Chu Tingyu to visit him once, and then led them directly to the backyard.

The gatekeeper recognized her and quickly invited them in, then went to inform Gao Yuanjia.

Not long after they walked in, a strange middle-aged man came towards them.

The man had a goatee and a long face. He nodded when he saw Li Jingwan and the others.

Li Jingwan also nodded. When she walked past him, suddenly a flash of lightning struck her mind and she turned her head sharply.

"and many more."

The man stopped and turned around, "What's the matter, girl?"

"You..." Li Jingwan's heart was beating like thunder, but she looked calm, "Have you met Mr. Gao? We have something to ask him."

Bai Yiyi was a little puzzled. Didn't the clerk just report it? Why did he ask this stranger?

The man nodded, "Master Gao was in the study when I came down to deliver the letter."

"Are you from the post station?"

"Yes." The man smiled and bowed to her, "Miss, I have other things to deal with. I'll take my leave now."

Li Jingwan nodded and smiled, "Thank you for letting me know."

As soon as he turned around, his smile disappeared and shock appeared in his eyes.

As expected, they met Gao Yuanjia in the study. When Bai Hong expressed his gratitude, Li Jingwan calmly glanced around the study and saw several unopened letters on the table.

Li Jingwan was thinking about something. She said a few words to express her gratitude, then said she would not disturb him at work and left in a hurry.

As soon as she came out of the backyard, Li Jingwan saw a carriage just stopped.

Chu Tingyu got out of the carriage, followed by Xu Rui, with an expression of watching a good show on his face.

Obviously, Xu Rui and Chu Tingyu talked about the Bai family, so he came here specially.

Bai Hong hurried forward to greet and apologize, Chu Tingyu said calmly, "There must not be a next time."

But his eyes were looking at Li Jingwan, and his words were also telling her not to put herself in danger.

Li Jingwan nodded involuntarily.

Xu Rui smiled, Chu Tingyu's words were still useful.

After Bai Hong and his daughter left, Li Jingwan immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."

Her face was serious, and it seemed that it was not a simple matter. Chu Tingyu nodded, "Get in the carriage."

As soon as she sat down, Li Jingwan immediately lowered her voice, "Your Majesty, Wen Da is not the only traitor, there are others."

This made Chu Tingyu's face darken, "What did you find?"

"Yeah." Li Jingwan nodded slightly.

"I just met a middle-aged man in Gao Yuanjia's yard. He said he was here to deliver a letter to Gao Yuanjia, but I saw him in Yeqilu's camp."

Chu Tingyu's eyes were filled with more doubt and surprise. "Have you seen him?"

"I'm sure it's him." Li Jingwan was very sure.

"In the camp at that time, although he was wearing a veil, I saw his profile. He had a goatee and a scar under the right corner of his eye."

So, when this man passed by, Li Jingwan saw the scar under his eye and suddenly remembered.

"I bumped into him by accident, and he blurted out the Sheng Dynasty dialect. I just talked to him on purpose, and his accent is very similar."

"Your Majesty, if he was just a staff member of the post station, there was no way he would appear in Yeqilu's camp."

Although Wen Da has been discovered, she has always been worried that there are other traitors. "Your Majesty, there must be something wrong with him. We must investigate quickly."

Chu Tingyu pondered, "He went to deliver a letter to Gao Yuanjia, will Gao Yuanjia also..."

Li Jingwan was shocked.

If Gao Yuanjia is also a traitor, does that mean Gao Yuanjia was also responsible for Chu Tingyu’s disappearance in the previous life?

While she was thinking, Chu Tingyu suddenly asked, "Why did you go to Yeqilu's camp?"

Li Jingwan then remembered that the last time she talked to Chu Tingyu about her experience in Reduo, in order not to make him worry, she omitted the fact that she was called by Ye Qilu to the camp to receive the reward.

Now I have to say it.

"At that time, I participated in the archery competition on behalf of Wushilie. After I won, Yeqilu called me to his camp to receive the reward."

"He didn't do anything, did he?"

"No." Li Jingwan shook her head, "I just asked the maid to give me a gem. I didn't even see him."

"Your Highness, we must investigate the people at the post station." Li Jingwan emphasized again, "We never know when the Western Rong will attack. We can't let these traitors ruin our plans."

"No." Chu Tingyu said in a deep voice, "Absolutely not."

He will show no mercy to those who dare to commit treason.
