Qin Yaoguang looked calm and composed, and no matter how hard Xiao tried to think, she probably couldn't have guessed that she was talking nonsense.

In ancient times when productivity was backward, beliefs in ghosts and gods were deeply rooted in people's minds.

She took advantage of this.

In short, since no one could disprove it, she used it to intimidate the Xiao family.

"I dreamed of a Bodhisattva with a golden glow. He recited a passage and then pointed at my forehead."

Looking at Xiao who was listening intently, Qin Yaoguang continued: "When I woke up that day, I saw a cloud of black fog in the backyard. I walked closer and took a look. Guess what happened?"

Xiao was startled: "Ghost, ghost?"

Qin Yaoguang nodded slightly: "It is the little ghost that possessed Zhou Qinghe."

"Then...what about my daughter, is she still alive?" Xiao asked.

Qin Yaoguang shook his head: "When the little ghost possessed her, your daughter died."

"In fact, it's not appropriate to call it a little ghost. The ghost lived to be seventy in her previous life. She was a shrewd old woman. Because she was killed by her children and grandchildren, she was obsessed with it and wandered around the world. By chance, she possessed your daughter."

She told Xiao the story of Zhou Qinghe's time travel in a different way.

"It was only with the enlightenment of the Bodhisattva that I was able to discover the evil spirits in the mansion."

She is the eldest princess of the royal family. The ancients believed that the emperor was the true dragon son of heaven, so it was normal for her to benefit from it.

All that was heard was a cry of grief from Xiao, with hatred flashing in her eyes: "I'm going to kill her!"

"Can't kill."

Qin Yaoguang poured a basin of cold water on her.

"Why?!"

Xiao gnashed her teeth in hatred.

Qin Yaoguang looked at her like an idiot: "She is inside your daughter, how can you kill her?"

"Or are you willing to kill your daughter's body as well?"

Xiao was stunned, staggered back several steps, covered her face and cried silently.

After she calmed down, Qin Yaoguang raised her chin towards the desk and said, "You wanted to deal with her, but I didn't want an evil spirit in the mansion, so I left her in the manor and didn't bring her back."

Xiao wiped away her tears, walked to the desk, picked up the pen, signed her name, and pressed a bright red thumb print on it with rouge.

"I hope Your Highness will take action to avenge my wife and children!"

Qin Yaoguang put away her confession and said, "With this confession you wrote, I can find a high monk for you. Even if I can't find your daughter's soul, I can trap this little ghost and make her live a life worse than death."

"Life is worse than death!"

Xiao was very angry.

She believed Qin Yaoguang's words without a doubt.

If she was her biological daughter, she would never betray herself like this!

"but……"

Qin Yaoguang changed the subject and said, "Xiao, you murdered your husband. I can let you go, but I cannot let you go."

Xiao's face was pale and she dared not say a word.

It was a crime she had committed herself, and with the little devil accusing her, how could she dare to deny it?

Dreaming of becoming a prince consort has become an unattainable dream for her.

Nowadays, it would be good enough if I could just save my life.

She knelt down with a plop: "Your Highness, for the sake of me dealing with the little devil for you, I beg you to spare my life."

Qin Yaoguang raised her hand and pointed outside: "I will give you two options."

"First, you are allowed to take fifty taels of silver and this set of clothes. Once you leave the Princess's residence, you must not come back."

Xiao looked bewildered.

What can she do with fifty taels of silver?

The Marquis Boyuan's Mansion was given a beating by the Princess, so they can definitely no longer be relied upon.

Taifu Mansion?

Out of old friendship, maybe I could give some help, but it's impossible for you to stay for a long time.

In addition, once the news of her murdering her husband was leaked, the first people to attack would definitely be the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Zhou Lin was a disciple deeply loved by the Grand Tutor.

"Article 2,"

Qin Yaoguang said slowly: "I will find a manor for you. If I need you to identify Zhou Qinghe in the future, you must cooperate."

Both roads lead to leaving the Princess's Mansion.

Could it be that the young man in fine clothes and riding a vigorous horse in my memory will eventually turn into a bubble?

She tried so hard to get close to him that she even went so far as to murder her own husband.

In the end, it was still all in vain and nothing was gained.

In the past, she had planned on her own, thinking that as long as she could gain Yan Changqing's favor, she would have a chance of winning.

But now, the eldest princess knew all her plans and had evidence of her guilt.

Xiao had no choice but to say, "Your Highness, I choose the second option."

Qin Yaoguang's lips curled up into a sarcastic smile.

Xiao's choice was just as she expected.

"it is good."

Qin Yaoguang raised her voice and called Guyu in.

Guyu was waiting outside and when he heard the noise inside, he became extremely anxious.

Hearing the call, he hurried to Qin Yaoguang, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his master was fine.

Qin Yaoguang ordered: "Ms. Xiao committed an insubordination and has been punished by me. Take her to the Criminal Court and hand her over to Ms. Ren, and punish her to work on the farm in Linyong Township outside the city. Without my order, she is not allowed to leave the farm."

The manor in Linyong Township is completely different from the imperial manor with a hot spring villa.

The differentiation strategy against the Xiao mother and daughter was very successful.

Taking advantage of the "prisoner's dilemma", she had the confessions of the two people accusing each other in her hands. No matter what the situation was in the future, Qin Yaoguang would be able to adapt to it.

The initiative to take it out or not is up to her.

Xiao was stunned: "Your Highness?"

That’s not what I said before.

What she understood was to live on the farm, not to be punished to work, let alone be under house arrest.

Qin Yaoguang smiled faintly: "I will give you one more chance to regret. Choose the first path."

However, in the first option, after Xiao left the Princess's Mansion, she had nothing to do with the mansion.

The most crucial thing is that in the capital, the Xiao family has no place to go, let alone the ability to make a living.

Fifty taels of silver may seem like a lot, but living in the capital is not easy.

She had no choice but to leave and go back to her parents' home.

Having paid such a huge price, how could the Xiao family give up completely?

Guyu urged very cooperatively: "Mrs. Zhou, our master is kind, don't push your luck."

"Your Highness, you have been so kind to have her stay in your mansion for the past few years, but now she has turned her back on you. You are too easy to talk to."

Xiao was panicking, fearing that Qin Yaoguang would change her mind again, so she quickly replied, "I am willing to accept the punishment."

The crime of "rebellion" could be a minor one, but once the fact that she murdered her husband was exposed, it would be a fatal matter!

After dealing with the Xiao family, Qin Yaoguang felt refreshed.

Sure enough, as long as Zhou Qinghe is not there, the plot protection mechanism will not be triggered.

In this way, not only can the Xiao mother and daughter be completely separated, but both of them can be controlled in the hands, which is much better than letting them go out and cause trouble.

After the funeral of the old lady of the Cui family, Duke Ningguo completely calmed down.

The Empress Dowager gave Qingbai a team of additional personnel. Qin Yaoguang summoned Zeng Xiangjin and ordered him to bribe the servants of the Cui family and monitor their movements.

After Qingbai recovered from his injuries, Qin Yaoguang sent an invitation to Xie Rujin, hosting a banquet at Wanmin Building and inviting him to a dinner.

Xie Rujin held the post in his hand, undecided.

What is the meaning behind this?
