Ding nodded vigorously.
"I'll arrange it right away."
Bai Xuyang stopped her: "I'll arrange it."
Mrs. Ding held his hand and said, "Xuyang, you are such a good son to me. You saved me."
No matter what Ding said, Bai Xuyang looked indifferent, without any emotion in his eyes.
He walked out of the room with a cold expression, looked up at the sky, and seemed to have thought of something. A smile appeared on his pale face, sickly and gentle.
"Aying, I miss you."
Bai Xuyang tilted his head, his gentleness vanished, and his eyes became sinister. "Aying, I hate her so much, I hate the Bai family so much. They are so disgusting, I really want to burn the Bai family down."
…
Marquis' Mansion.
In the room.
"Madam, this is the information you requested." Secret Guard Fourteen handed a thick stack of papers to Tang Li.
Tang Li took it and flipped through it page by page.
This contains information about my great-grandfather Wen.
Great-grandfather Wen was from Youzhou and won the third place in the imperial examination in the third year of Shunyuan.
After he married the eldest princess's adopted daughter, he was promoted rapidly. In just a few years, he became the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and soon became the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
The eldest princess is the elder sister of the current emperor. She is very favored by the emperor and has a very high status and power.
Tang Li looked through the information of the eldest princess and couldn't help but sigh: "This eldest princess has so many adopted daughters."
"Yes, the eldest princess has many adopted daughters. She adopted another one some time ago. The eldest princess loves her very much and wants to ask the emperor to grant her a marriage with the third prince." Fourteen said.
Tangli seemed to be lost in thought.
She adopted so many daughters, some of whom became female officials and some married court officials. It seems that this eldest princess is a bit ambitious.
Looking at Ding Xiaolian's information again, she came to Beijing in the same year as her great-grandfather Wen, the second year of Shunyuan. Afterwards, she opened a tofu stall in the capital.
If you look at the information of these two people separately, you can't associate them together.
Put them together and you will find the clues.
Fellow townsman, came to Beijing in the same year...
Considering Ding Xiaolian’s case, it is almost certain that the person behind Ding Xiaolian is Zeng Zuwen.
This is not just a simple friendship between fellow townsmen...
Great-grandfather Wen’s wife was not particularly favored by the eldest princess.
But no matter how out of favor she was, she was still the eldest princess's adopted daughter. Great-grandfather Wen had relied on the eldest princess's power until today, yet he dared to have an affair behind the eldest princess's adopted daughter's back. He was really bold.
If the eldest princess's adopted daughter knew about this, it would definitely be very interesting.
…
It's late at night.
A small courtyard in the east of the city.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Wu are old, so they sleep lightly and wake up at the slightest noise.
It seemed like someone outside the door accidentally stepped on a dead branch, making a noise.
In the darkness, both Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu woke up.
Old Wu sighed softly.
"I'm sorry, old lady."
When he told the truth to the Minister, he guessed that this day might come.
This case is very complicated and the murderer has great power behind him.
Those people dared to attack the reporter twelve years ago, and twelve years later, they will definitely dare to attack me.
Twelve years ago, he worked in the Ministry of Justice. If he were killed, it would inevitably cause greater trouble, so he saved his life. Later, the case was settled, and he was forgotten.
Now that the case is being retried, those people will feel threatened by me and will naturally take action against me.
This also indirectly proves that the Minister's investigation scared them.
He originally wanted to let his wife go to his son, but Old Mrs. Wu didn't say a word. If he talked too much, she would get angry with him.
Mr. Wu understood her decision.
He had been quite a failure in his life, yet he had to be accompanied by someone like this...
Old Wu patted the back of her hand and said, "Old woman, I've ruined you. Marry me and you'll always suffer with me..."
"Who made me so blind to fall for a stubborn ass like you? My legs are not in good condition, so please walk slowly on the road to the underworld and wait for me..."
Just as the old couple held hands tightly and prepared to die, another group of people appeared outside the door and started fighting with the group that stepped on the broken branches.
After a fight, the sound stopped.
One person walked to the door.
"Mr. Wu, Mrs. Wu, we are the Minister's men. We are sorry to disturb your sweet dreams. The person has been dealt with. You can continue to sleep." After the man said this, he left.
Soon, it became quiet.
Both Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu were stunned for a moment.
Old Mrs. Wu hugged Old Mr. Wu's arm, and soon, Old Mr. Wu felt his arm was wet.
"Old woman, why are you crying?"
"I'm happy."
"Glad you're still alive?"
"Yeah, who wants to die if they can live?"
In the darkness, Mr. Wu patted Mrs. Wu on the back.
Yes, who wants to die when you can live?
But as a man of honor, he couldn't live in disgrace and let the dead down, so he risked his life to tell the truth.
If only they could put their worries to rest, it would be great if the old couple could just live a simple life.
"Old man, it seems that this minister is really capable. There is hope for this case." said Old Mrs. Wu.
"Yes, I have finally waited for this day."
"Don't be too happy, go to sleep."
"Um."
The old couple covered themselves with the quilt and continued to sleep.
…
The next day.
Marquis' Mansion.
When Tangli woke up, he found that the seat next to him was empty.
She got up, put on her clothes, washed up, then pushed the door open and Wei Qing walked in.
"What happened so early in the morning?" Tang Li asked.
"Someone wanted to kill Mr. Wu last night, but was caught." Wei Qing said.
Tang Li was surprised: "Are you so impatient?"
"Maybe it was because everything went too smoothly before, and we didn't expect to hit a wall." Wei Qing said.
"Is there any connection between the Ding family and great-grandfather Wen?" Tang Li asked.
Wei Qing shook his head.
Tang Li read Ding's information yesterday and analyzed that Ding's personality is the type that is very dependent on men.
Seeing that she was about to be exposed, she didn't contact Zeng Zuwen, but instead sent someone to kill and silence him?
She couldn't tell whether Ding was smart or stupid.
"Master, someone from the Bai Mansion is coming." Someone reported from outside the door.
"Bring him in." Wei Qing said.
Soon, people from the Bai Mansion arrived. They were the guards around Bai Muyang.
"Last night, someone wanted to kill the two maids around Ding. The master asked us to keep an eye on them, and we caught the murderer," said the guard.
Wei Qing nodded: "Okay, I'll send someone to capture him."
The guards left.
Tang Li said, "It seems that Ding is really stupid."
This was too impatient. He actually took action on the first night and was caught with two evidences.
It's just giving away lives.
If the Ding family went to find their great-grandfather Wen, it would be much more difficult for them to deal with him.
"Husband, we can arrest Ding now." Tang Li said.
"Wife, I'll go to the Ministry of Justice to get some people first." Wei Qing said.
Tangli stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek: "Go."
Wei Qing pecked her on the lips and turned away.
…
Bai Mansion.
Mrs. Ding was leisurely having breakfast in her room.
To be honest, her son is quite capable, but his personality is unpredictable and she is sometimes afraid of him.
Since he was willing to take action to resolve the matter, Mrs. Ding felt relieved.
When Mrs. Ding thought of the past, she sighed.
When she first met Guo, she was the beloved eldest daughter, dressed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, and surrounded by celebrities, while she was just a small street vendor who could be ordered around by anyone.
Who could have imagined that today, she would become the wife of the Bai family, while Guo would become a wandering ghost?
Ding felt somewhat proud as she thought about it.
Just then, there was a sudden sound of noisy footsteps outside the door.
