The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

"Sixth brother, seventh brother, what should we do? We can't throw our thirteenth sister into a mass grave." The speaker was Tang Xing, the ninth child of the Tang family and the illegitimate son of the second branch. He was one of the few illegitimate sons who was sensible. He had his own children, and he couldn't bear to see his grandfather being so cruel to his granddaughter.

"Why not? In my opinion, she is not innocent anymore since she committed suicide for a man. This kind of dirty thing that brings disgrace to the family should be thrown out as soon as possible to avoid being an eyesore."

Tang Zhongbai glanced at him. The eldest son of the third eldest son of the first house was dressed in colorful clothes and looked like a playboy. He relied on being the grandson of the Marquis's family to cause a lot of trouble outside. If it weren't for his mother's face, this man would have been sent to jail long ago.

When Tang Zhongbai first arrived at the courtyard, he looked for Tang Jing's father in the crowd, but he didn't see him. This person would never show up from beginning to end, right?

I've heard for a long time that he has a mistress outside and hasn't been home for a long time.

His face was gloomy. Zhou was right. If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. Fortunately, my grandfather separated from his family and lived alone after getting married, away from these bad people.

Now is the critical moment to catch the spy, the two brothers dare not act rashly. They apologized to Tang Jing secretly, and after the matter was done, they would give her a grand funeral.

Everyone saw that Tang Boan and Tang Zhongbai were silent. They were the most accomplished brothers of the same generation in the Tang family.

Everyone took the two's silence as consent.

They instructed the servants to dig Tang Jing out of the snow nest, found an old straw mat, rolled her up, threw her on the cart, and told the servants to throw her on the mass grave outside the city.

"Let's go, let's go. Seriously, we've been tossing and turning for most of the night and I'm freezing to death."

Everyone dispersed at once, and Tang Xing, with anger in his eyes, strode up to the two brothers.

"Why don't you say something for Thirteenth Sister? She has lived a clean life, treated people kindly and never competed with others. It is impossible for her to have an affair with a man outside. I firmly believe that it was murder."

"Then why don't you report it to the authorities?" Tang Zhongbai's eyes turned cold and he said aggressively, "If you have time to chat here, why don't you report it to the authorities? In this way, Thirteenth Sister won't be thrown into a mass grave at will. You are afraid of being blamed by Second Grandfather, so you want to drag us out to fulfill your wish, right?"

Tang Xing's face turned grim, and he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He was right. He was a bastard with no say, so how could he be qualified to make suggestions? His father was away from home for many years, and the concubines fought over a little bit of petty gains.

It was Tang Bo'an who helped him find the job of an accountant. Half of the little money he earned every month was snatched away by his aunt to buy clothes and other things, and his own children could only watch helplessly.

He had seen this younger sister many times, secretly giving his child some snacks and candies. She would always make a promise with the child, and the agreement was a little secret between them.

He was shocked beyond words when he heard the news of her death today.

How could such a wonderful person do such a thing? He firmly believed in her.

But he was just a bastard with no status. He was unable to resist, let alone dare to resist.

His eyes darkened and he lowered his head, "I'm sorry, I'm useless."

Tang Boan patted his shoulder and said, "It has nothing to do with you. Just live your own life in the future. If you want to move out of the house, come find me at home and I will help you."

He didn't want to see the few good-hearted brothers of the second branch end up in a bad end, so he tried his best to help a little. It was like giving a rose to someone and leaving a lingering fragrance on your hands.

"Thank you, Sixth Brother." He had long wanted to move away from this filthy place, but he didn't have the courage, and his aunt would not allow him to do so.

It was almost midnight, the wind had died down but the snow had not stopped. The two brothers left the second house and asked Tang San and Tang Si to follow the wheel tracks.

Tang Zhongbai told his brother that Jiang Muxia and other two had been assassinated.

Tang Bo'an stopped walking, his eyes as cold as ice, "They are trying to silence the witnesses. Now we can be sure that the spies are hiding in their two families. What did Thirteen find that made them want to eliminate the person even if their identities were exposed."

Tang Zhongbai returned to his room and found Jiang Muxia still in the side room. Without her, and Tang San and Tang Si not yet home, he couldn't sleep peacefully.

He opened the door and walked towards the ear room.

The house had been cleaned, the beds had been changed, and the smell of blood was much less.

There was a basin of clean water in front of the bed, and Jiang Muxia was wringing out a soft handkerchief and spreading it on Qinghong's forehead.

Qinghong's face was flushed and her body was wrapped in layer upon layer of brocade quilts.

"Fever?"

"Yeah." Jiang Muxia raised her head, her eyes were red and swollen, and there were tears in her eyes, "You go and rest, I'll stay with her tonight."

"Okay." Tang Zhongbai knew that she felt guilty and didn't want to persuade her. "Well, I... picked up her right hand. I buried it in the snow outside the ear room. When she wakes up..."

It was really cruel to say this, and seeing tears streaming from her eyes, he shut his mouth in time.

"I understand." She reached out and touched the handkerchief, threw another one into the water, fished it out, wrung it dry and replaced it with the other.

Tang Zhongbai returned to the room and lit all the candles on the lamp stand. He half-lay on the couch and read a book in his hand. He was so confused that he couldn't concentrate at all.

This year's Little New Year was not very good.

Two hours later, Tang San and Tang Si returned home and handed Tang Zhongbai a silver hairpin.

"Second Young Master, this belongs to the Thirteenth Miss. Those servants were so bold that they took all the ornaments from the Thirteenth Miss and even stripped off her clothes." Tang Si said angrily.

Tang Zhongbai reached out to take it, and as he was taking and pushing it, Tang Si hadn't let go yet, so Tang Zhongbai grabbed the hairpin and pulled back.

With a slight "ding" sound, the silver hairpin turned out to have a secret. Half of it was in Tang Zhongbai's hand, and the other half was in Tang Si's hand.

Tang Zhongbai sat up straight at once. The hairpin was hollow and there was a piece of paper inside.

"Second Young Master, look quickly." Tang Si was extremely surprised and took out the note and handed it to him.

Tang Zhongbai quickly unfolded the piece of paper. It was several inches long and three inches wide, and was densely covered with beautiful and neat regular script. The more he read it, the more solemn his expression became.

He folded the paper with a snap and stood up.

"You two should go and rest. There is a big battle waiting for us."

The father and his two sons sat in Tang Shiyan's study, and Tang Shiyan stared at the words on the note.

"Tang Jing is a really great kid. After this is done, we must clear her name."

"Father, two people have been identified on the note. What should we do next?" Tang Zhongbai asked.

Tang Shiyan rolled up the note again and handed it to his eldest son.

"Don't act rashly. Tomorrow I will send someone to investigate these two people thoroughly." He turned to his eldest son and told him, "After three o'clock, take the note to find Prince Yi. He has been in charge of investigating the remnants of the King of Lingnan. Although we found them, it is better for us not to take any credit for this."

"Yes, let's take the initiative to pass on the news, so as not to put our entire Tang family in danger." Tang Boan put the note in his arms and left quickly. There was still a quarter of an hour until the third watch, so he had to hurry.

"Father, can I go with my eldest brother?" Tang Zhongbai asked. He wanted to make a deal with Prince Yi.
