After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

In the late spring evenings, the breeze blowing on your face gradually becomes warm and inviting.

As night fell, the mansion became quiet. The lively smell of wine in the flower hall floated far away in the evening breeze. It seemed that there were only two or three people left in the corridor in the corner.

Shen Chongyao stared at her profile. He didn't know if he had any preconceived ideas, but at this moment he recognized a familiar calmness in Ning'er's timid face.

That was the look he often saw on his brother's face.

Shen Chongyao couldn't help but become serious. He paced left and right and thought, "If something like this really happened, the bloodline would be mixed, and my eldest brother and the old lady would definitely not tolerate it. But..."

He said in embarrassment: "The Xinyuan Marquisate has been around for as long as the imperial court. In the past hundred years, there has never been a case of divorce, let alone such an appalling scandal."

He didn't dare to think about it any further, and sighed heavily: "If this is true, I really don't know what will happen!"

Ning'er's brows were somewhat stern. She stared at Shen Chongyao deeply and asked in a gentle voice, "According to the Second Master, if something happens, the Marquis's Mansion may not divorce his wife?"

Shen Chongyao smiled bitterly and said, "I have no right to comment on such matters. According to my eldest brother's personality, he will definitely cut off all ties with Luo's family, but my mother has always valued the dignity of the Marquis's Mansion more than anything else, and she loves Chengying and his sister to the core. I can't say lightly how she will deal with them."

Ning Er nodded and said, "Perhaps in the eyes of the old lady, if such things were made known to everyone, it would be a disgrace to the Marquis. But if the ancestral title is really handed over to an heir whose bloodline is questionable, I think she would not be willing to accept it."

She looked at the boy who had remained silent behind her and said, "Hanguang, if you were to come and see, what would you do about this?"

Han Guang was silent for a moment, then said, "Lord Lu once handled a case personally. There was a family called Chang in the suburbs of Beijing. First, the legal wife died. After he took in a concubine, within three months, the children left by the ex-wife also died inexplicably. Chang reported the second wife to the authorities, saying that she murdered the legitimate children, and wanted to execute her according to the law to comfort the spirits of his wife and children in heaven."

His faint voice came slowly in the night wind, and Ning'er straightened her back after hearing it: "Originally, the evidence in this case was solid and the case was clear. Under torture, the guilty woman had also signed a confession, and the case could be closed after she was executed. But after Lord Lu flipped through the files, he determined that there was another hidden story. Despite the opposition of the officials, he re-examined the people involved in the Chang family. It turned out that..."

Shen Chongyao couldn't help but urge: "So what?"

Han Guang glanced at him and said, "It's just as the second master thought. It turns out that Mr. Chang's original wife actually died at the hands of her own husband, and the so-called murder of the legitimate son by the second wife was just a scapegoat. The culprit of all this is Mr. Chang himself! It is said that on the day the case was decided, he still cried out that he was not convinced, saying that the whore was a bastard and anyone could kill her, so what crime had he committed?"

Shen Chongyao swallowed his saliva after hearing this: "This... So, he discovered his wife's affair and killed her and their son in anger?"

Han Guang sighed, "His wife had an affair with someone and got pregnant. She was discovered by Mr. Chang. He was so ashamed and jealous that he wanted to kill her. Unfortunately, Lord Lu later found out that the child they had was definitely Chang's bloodline. Mr. Chang was narrow-minded and extreme in his actions. That's why he killed his own children."

Ning Er was speechless for a moment, and after a while she whispered, "When he found out his wife was unfaithful, he could have divorced her and abandoned their children, and parted ways. Why did he have to take their lives?"

Han Guang looked at Shen Chongyao and explained to Ning'er, "Miss, you are joking. Mr. Chang is just a wealthy gentry family. He would rather kill his wife than spread such a shameful thing. What's more, he is a noble family? It's just that his methods are clumsy and there are flaws everywhere, so he was caught by Lord Lu. I think if it were a family that has accumulated good deeds for a hundred years, they would be much more efficient in doing things."

This was no longer a veiled sarcasm, it was almost an explicit statement. Ning'er and Han Guang looked at him at the same time. Shen Chongyao wiped his sweat and said, "Why do you have to do this? I can't guarantee it for others, but my brother, although he seems to be decisive in killing, actually values ​​human life the most. Even if he really encounters this disaster, he will not take the life of his young son for the sake of saving his face."

Ning Er nodded and said, "We all know the character of the Marquis. This is a family affair of the Marquis' Mansion. I am an outsider and it is not my place to say anything. However, if that day really comes, please advise the Marquis to protect himself first. Don't hurt your foundation for the sake of face."

Shen Chongyao moved his lips but didn't say anything in the end.
