He figured that as long as he didn't acknowledge Xie Lanzhou's identity, the people of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion wouldn't abandon Xie Lanzhou.

His favor with the Grand Princess was dwindling, and he was still waiting for her to save him.

If Xie Lanzhou really doesn't make it through, then that's his fate, and he won't miss having another son.

But now that his sons are gone, Xie Lanzhou cannot afford to lose anything. Only by having the Grand Princess take him to her side can he feel at ease.

Outside the Grand Princess's residence, Han Zijin stood there, displaying an air of remorse, as if he wouldn't leave until the Grand Princess forgave him.

People from the Duke of Lu's mansion also arrived.

The current Duke of Lu is Han Zijin's elder brother, while Han Changgeng, whose grave was dug up, is their great-grandfather.

Now that his younger brother is swearing that the Grand Princess dug up his great-grandfather's grave, even if Duke Lu is just an outsider, he has to come and ask if it's true.

"It must be true. I heard Ye Wantang cursing very earnestly."

Han Zijin opened his clear, foolish eyes and asked his older brother, "It couldn't be that Ye Wantang made it up in the middle of the night for no reason, could it?"

Duke Lu glared fiercely at Han Zijin.

He truly disliked this younger brother. After marrying the princess, he brought no benefit to the family and now he had even offended the Grand Princess.

Duke Lu did not want to come at all, but if he could not even protect his ancestors, how could he stand in the world?

He raised his hand and knocked on the door of the Grand Princess's residence, thinking that as long as the Grand Princess denied it, he would pretend to believe her and the matter would be over.

He was just an old man; he died right after I was born. What feelings could there be between us?

Just then, Han Zijin's newly hired servant came running up, panting, "Your Highness, I've dug them up, and those two graves are indeed empty. Your great-grandfather and great-grandmother's remains have indeed been stolen."

Upon hearing this, the Duke of Lu was furious. "You actually sent people to dig up a grave?"

Han Zijin happily got up, tore off the thorns from his body, and put on his clothes. "I was so scared! I thought I had wronged the Grand Princess."

This time the evidence is conclusive. The Grand Princess deserves an explanation: what right did she have to dig up my great-grandfather and great-grandmother's graves?

He didn't forget to invite his wife, Kang Le, along, saying, "Princess, let's go and help our great-grandfather get justice."

He then busily instructed the servant, "Remember to tell the Cai family that their aunt's bones have been dug up."
