Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

"Ghost...Ghost..." He looked around, the room was silent, as if everything that just happened was just a nightmare. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, his heart still beating wildly. Was it really just a dream?

He whispered to himself, his eyes moved downwards and he caught a glimpse of the bloodstained handkerchief tightly held in his hand. It was Hua'er's handkerchief!

"There's a ghost, there's a ghost!" he exclaimed.

"Mr. Liu, what's wrong with you?" The woman next to him rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked softly.

He was struck by lightning, threw the handkerchief far away, curled up in the quilt and trembled, "The flower came to find me! She came to find me..."

"Young Master, what are you talking about?" The woman reached out and gently stroked his shoulder, sighing in her heart. This Young Master Liu clearly came here for pleasure, but he got drunk last night and fell asleep immediately.

"Sir!" The woman tried to comfort him. If she couldn't satisfy the customer, she would not earn any reward money.

He turned his head to look at her in a daze, and was so frightened that he covered his face with his hands. What was reflected in his eyes was the pale flower!

Hua'er stared at him with her hollow black eyes, and stretched out her hands as if to wrap them around his neck, like a ghost seeking revenge!

"Ahhhh!" He let out a heart-wrenching scream, as if he was frightened out of his wits. He rolled off the bed and ran out of the door barefoot.

The woman on the bed looked confused, not understanding why Master Liu suddenly rushed out. She looked as if she had really seen a ghost!

He rushed out of the Peony Tower in a panic, his clothes were disheveled and his face was pale, looking like a madman.

He was almost on the verge of collapse. "Let me go, let me go... I didn't mean to hurt you!" he kept crying.

Passersby looked at him strangely. Although this man was dressed luxuriously, his behavior was extremely strange, like a mentally ill person.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Hua'er!" He staggered, and the scene in his dream emerged in his mind. Hua'er turned into a ghost and came to seek revenge. If he wanted to save his life, the only way was to surrender to the authorities and confess all his crimes.

However, that means facing severe punishment and going to jail!

He didn't want to go to jail and was very scared, so he finally decided to flee back to his mansion in a hurry.

A maidservant happened to be returning from an errand. Seeing that the young master had returned home safely, she greeted him politely, "Young master, you are back."

The maid was young, pretty, and had gentle manners.

He was like a frightened bird, staring at her warily. The maid smiled at him kindly!

However, in his eyes, the smile became distorted, and the maid's face gradually turned into a flower with sunken eye sockets and bleeding mouth corners!

"No, no..." He stepped back in horror.

The maid was full of confusion, wondering why the young master was acting so abnormal today.

He accidentally tripped over his own feet and fell heavily to the ground. The maid hurried forward to help him up.

"Don't come over, please, let me go, I know I was wrong!" The maid approached step by step, and the man trembled with fear.

"Young master, what's wrong with you?" the maid asked with concern.

"I was wrong! It's all my fault!" The man collapsed. Unable to bear the inner torment any longer, he stood up and rushed to the yamen.

"Sir, someone has come to complain."

"What's the matter?" asked Lord Ye.

"He is a mentally ill man who claims to have killed someone." The bailiff replied.

Lord Ye frowned and sighed in his heart, those who were truly guilty stayed away, but these insignificant people came to cause trouble.

"Court in session!" he ordered.

After sitting down, Lord Ye looked down at the audience coldly, "What crime have you committed?"

The man was in tattered clothes and had messy hair. He immediately fell to his knees when he heard the question. "I killed someone, I didn't do it on purpose, I really didn't mean to hurt Hua'er!"

"Murder?" Lord Ye frowned even more tightly.

"Tell me what happened in detail. If you did it unintentionally, I will handle it appropriately."

When Lord Ye heard the name "Hua'er", his heart skipped a beat, as if he had a bad premonition.

The man stammered about how he accidentally pushed down the flower, causing her death.

Lord Ye widened his eyes. It turned out that this was the case that Lord Shen had reported to him!

"Are you sure you killed her?" Lord Ye asked, staring at the man sharply, "Is it possible that you just pushed her down instead of killing her?"

"No, I saw with my own eyes that she bled a lot. I was wrong, Huaer, please let me go..." The man shook his head firmly to deny.

The man's words were credible and even if Lord Ye wanted to excuse him, he had no choice but to slam the gavel heavily, "Come here, take this man to the prison and wait for punishment!"

When the man was taken away, he showed a look of relief. He was no longer afraid because he had admitted his mistakes and sincerely repented. The soul of the flower should be able to rest in peace.

Lord Ye was in a heavy mood and ordered the release of those who had been arrested previously, "Declare them not guilty and release them immediately!"

Three days later, Baili Yan staggered out of the cell, looking extremely weak.

The sun shone on him, blinding him, and he instinctively raised his hand to block it. At this moment, he felt the long-lost freedom and light.

He came out much earlier than expected.

"Your Highness..." Upon seeing this, his subordinates hurriedly stepped forward and put a cloak on Baili Yan, their voices choked with sobs.

Baili Yan turned his head to look at him, his lips cracked, and asked softly, "How did I get out?"

"A gentleman suddenly surrendered himself to the authorities, confessed to the murder, and said that you were wrongly accused before," the subordinate explained.

Baili Yan's heart trembled. How could that person pin the crime on him without anyone noticing?

This was very serious. He realized that someone had done this deliberately and there must be some hidden meaning behind it.

"Fourth brother, that's a great idea." Baili Yan's eyes turned cold and he said in a low voice.

The news soon reached Ye Yunzi's ears.

She smiled, "That's best."

Tao Qiming asked doubtfully: "How do you know he will turn himself in?"

"It was just a little trick."

Ye Yunzi said lightly that she knew that people with this kind of personality needed some stimulation to take action. So, she gave the man medicine to make him mistakenly believe that all the people he saw who were similar in size to Hua'er were really Hua'er.

After learning that Baili Yan was acquitted and released, Lord Ye hurried to report to Shen Yuming.

Shen Yuming's face turned pale. His carefully planned plan was disrupted. He was so angry that he smashed the teacup with one hand.

Lord Ye was terrified. Although he was not afraid of Shen Yuming, the Fourth Prince was standing behind him, so he had to be careful.

"Lord Ye, you can't even handle such a small matter. It seems that your ability is indeed limited." Shen Yuming said coldly, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"It's not that I'm incompetent. It's just that someone suddenly turned himself in. The evidence is conclusive, and there's nothing I can do!" Lord Ye hurriedly explained, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"Someone turned himself in?" Shen Yuming frowned, feeling suspicious. A normal person would not come forward to take responsibility for a crime for no reason.
