Now Marquis Yongning became even angrier. He beat his chest and stamped his feet, declaring that he would no longer have a nephew like Zhu Xianzhi. The regret in his heart became three times stronger, and his guilt towards Zhu Jingzhong became seven times stronger.

Therefore, Marquis Yongning sold the things that the old marquis had brought to Chunlanyuan in Xuzhou when he first came to Beijing, and the fine tables, chairs, calligraphy and paintings that Zhu Jingzhong later bought for Zhou Jiaoling, and bought the best coffin for Zhu Jingzhong and Zhou Jiaoling.

He used the things that Zhu Jingzhong and Zhou Jiaoling used during their lifetime, as well as the private money that he had hidden without the knowledge of the wife of Marquis Yongning, to buy many burial objects for Zhu Jingzhong and Zhou Jiaoling, and kept the bodies for seven days to give Zhu Jingzhong the dignity he deserved after his death.

Until the funeral the next day, Zhu Xianzhi did not come to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion to light a stick of incense or burn a piece of paper money for Zhu Jingzhong.

This made Marquis Yongning so angry that his internal organs ached. He ordered his followers to bring a few servants to wait at the door of Zhu Xianzhi's new house and forcibly took Zhu Xianzhi back to Marquis Yongning's mansion.

It was already dark. Zhu Xianzhi looked at the mansion filled with white silk and white lanterns. He thought of how his mother Lan Wanshuang had died in such a hasty manner. Resentment welled up in his heart, and his eyes were filled with extreme viciousness.

When he saw the Marquis of Yongning, he said, "A whore from a brothel died, and the funeral was so grand. I am not her biological son, so what am I doing here?"

There was a "pop" sound.

Yongning Hou waved his hand and slapped Zhu Xianzhi hard, saying angrily: "Zhou Jiaoling is not worthy of me selling my property to give her dignity. I just feel sorry for your father!"

Zhu Xianzhi sneered, "Feeling sorry for my father? My father was born in a marquis's mansion in the capital, enjoying wealth and splendor. Even when he came to Xuzhou and didn't make progress, my uncle obeyed him in everything. Even when he visited prostitutes and gambled, my uncle turned a blind eye and let him do whatever he wanted.

He sold the shop after the family split up to redeem that bitch Zhou Jiaoling. As far as I can remember, my mother and I have been living in poverty. My father has never given me a penny, and he has never asked me which academy I studied in.

Even when I married Ling'er, my father didn't give me a penny, but snatched half of the return gift and gave it to that bitch Zhou Jiaoling.

Even if my mother had done something evil, why did he hit her so hard? Why did he beat her to death in front of me?

Why should I kneel before such a father? Why should I bury him? Doesn't he love Zhu Qingyao the most? Let Zhu Qingyao keep vigil for him and show filial piety."

"Hehe..." Madam Yongning raised her eyelids and glared at Zhu Xianzhi coldly.

"Do you feel wronged? Do you feel your mother is wronged? Then let me ask you, when Xianrun was so young, did he bully you or did he do something to offend your mother? What made your mother so cruel as to push Xianrun into the well?

Ever since you can remember, I always bought an extra copy for you of anything Xianrun had and never treated you unfairly. Your uncle even treated you like his own son. But what did your mother do?

He killed Xianrun and even bought the extract of Thunder God Vine from your second aunt's Guangshun pharmacy and gave it to your uncle and your father to drink, just to prevent the Yongning Marquis's Mansion from having any more heirs so that you could inherit the title of Yongning Marquis.

Don't tell me that you didn't know anything about what your mother did. You did many of them yourself.

How did the court doctor die? Do you dare to tell the truth? "

Upon hearing this, Marquis Yongning suddenly turned around and looked at his wife.

On the morning of Zhou Jiaoling's wedding day, she took advantage of Zhu Jingzhong's busy schedule to write down in detail the crimes committed by Lan Wanshuang and Zhu Xianzhi and kept it close to her.

Zhou Jiaoling did this because she was doing the best she could to do one last thing for Lin Luoling before she died. She knew that Lin Luoling would definitely know about it in the future, and in this way, Lin Luoling would take better care of Zhu Qingyao in the future.

Before Zhu Jingzhong and Zhou Jiaoling were put into the coffin, they had to change into funeral clothes. They were discovered by the maid sent by the wife of Marquis Yongning and handed over to her.

After reading it, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning sent a servant from the mansion to dig out Lan Wanshuang's coffin that night and threw it into a mass grave.

How could this relieve the hatred in her heart?

The only way to vent my anger is on Zhu Xianzhi.

Therefore, she kept it in her heart without saying anything until Yongning Hou and Zhu Xianzhi were present, then she told them these old stories in person.

She knew that Marquis Yongning had always hoped that he could have a son.

Once Marquis Yongning found out that he could no longer conceive children after taking Thunder God Vine, it turned out that it was not that she was unable to have children over the years, but that Marquis Yongning was unable to do so.

Such a sudden blow was like a bolt from the blue for Marquis Yongning.

Seeing that the wife of Marquis Yongning nodded solemnly.

Yongning Hou turned around and glared at Zhu Xianzhi, saying, "Is what your aunt said true?"

Old memories were dug up and vicious deeds were made public. Zhu Xianzhi didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Yongning Hou narrowed his eyes, stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Xianzhi by the collar, raised his voice and asked again: "Is what your aunt said true?"

Zhu Xianzhi immediately got scared and retorted, "Some of the things that my aunt is talking about were done by my mother. I don't know anything about thunder god vine."

"Don't you know?" Madam Yongning picked up the teacup calmly, took a sip of tea, and then said calmly: "I went to Guangshun Pharmacy to get Tripterygium wilfordii several times. Wasn't it you who went to get it? Do you want me to bring out the witness so you can confront each other?"
