"How come?"
Although Li was the second wife of Master Bei, she was always superior to Lan.
He thought Lan was stupid and asked to leave the family, but he didn't feel that he owed Lan anything.
However, after the marriage, Lan was found to be pregnant, which was very eye-catching to Li.
Li wanted to deal with Lan countless times, but she held back in the end. She admired Master Bei and didn't want to ruin her image in Master Bei's heart.
Moreover, the Lan family has fallen, and the Lan family is no longer a force to be reckoned with.
With this in mind, Li was completely relieved when Lan died in childbirth.
She only thought that Lan was unlucky and had no blessings, but she never thought that it was the work of her father and brother.
Even Lan's request to divorce was forced by his father and brother.
Li was in a daze.
There was only one thought in her mind: if this investigation was sent to the retired emperor and the empress knew about it, would she still help them and their son?
Won't.
Li's hands and feet suddenly became cold, and the chill reached deep into her heart.
This matter was naturally not said by Duke Li and his son, but was revealed by their subordinates who could not withstand the torture.
"Why did my father and brother keep them alive?"
Li was filled with hatred. She hated Concubine Li and her father and brother. They had harmed her so much.
"Mother, we are finished."
Bei Shuxian was in a terrible state. If Bei Lingyao knew that her biological mother was killed by her grandfather and uncle, she would definitely take revenge on them.
The three legitimate sons of the Bei family also fell silent.
How close they were to the Li family in the past, how much they hate them now.
The Li family had done them a great disservice. Their surname was Bei and they had not participated in the rebellion, but they were locked up in the dungeon with the Li and Xiao families for investigation.
At this moment, they even hated their biological mother, Li.
"It's all mother's fault. If you hadn't let your sons get close to the Li family, we brothers wouldn't have been implicated."
"Mother has done us a terrible harm."
…
Li's face fell and looked as pale as death.
In the palace, Bei Lingyao looked at the confession presented to her, and all her previous speculations came true.
The Li family is really great.
"Don't be sad, Yao'er. Your uncle and his family are already on their way back to Beijing."
"The Li family is hateful."
Bei Lingyao sighed inwardly, based on the news sent back by the Dark Dragon Guards.
The original owner's grandfather died of illness, but his two uncles are still alive.
In the court, the ministers were also numb when they saw the heinous evidence of the crimes of the Li and Xiao families.
The nine clans of the Li and Xiao families were executed.
Others involved will be punished according to the severity of their crimes.
Beheading, confiscation of property, exile, stripping of titles, demotion, salary fines...
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although the nine clans of the Li and Xiao families were executed, it was only these two families.
The others are not heavy.
The retired emperor and Emperor Kangde were both waiting for the Li family's private army in various places to rebel, but when the Li and Xiao families were executing the prisoners, no one came out to rescue them.
With the sword raised and the heads falling, the Li and Xiao families were destroyed.
Li and her three children were not beheaded. They were very grateful when they were sent back to the Bei family.
I feel like I've escaped a disaster.
But what was waiting for them was poisoned wine sent by Mrs. Bei.
"I want to see the Master."
"I want to see my father. Let me see my father. Father and grandmother will not kill us."
Li and the four children were in disbelief. The emperor had let them go, so why did Madam Bei send someone to deliver poisoned wine?
They held a glimmer of hope in their hearts, thinking that the reason why Master Bei did not show up was because Old Madam Bei acted on her own will and Master Bei was still unaware of it.
But he drank the poisoned wine and died with blood coming out of all his seven orifices, his eyes wide open, but he still did not wait for Master Bei to appear.
"The Grand Tutor, the Old Madam, the Madam, and the Young Masters and Young Ladies have left."
Master Bei closed his eyes and said, "Send it out and hold a secret funeral."
"Amitabha, well done, well done."
Mrs. Bei held the Buddhist beads in her hand, clasped her hands together and recited something silently.
The room was silent for a long time before Mrs. Bei spoke again, "You are right not to be soft-hearted. You can remarry your wife and have more children, but you must not incur the dislike of the palace."
"I just regret that if I had stayed with the Lan family..."
After this incident, Master Bei began to remember Lan's kindness again.
He felt heartbroken when he thought about how Lan asked to leave because the Li family threatened the lives of the Lan family.
Old Madam Bei didn't miss Lan at all. If Lan hadn't asked to leave the family, she would have taken action and not allowed her to live.
But now, the queen in the palace is after all the daughter of Lan.
She said, "Although the Queen followed Lan's last wish and did not return to the Bei family, you are the Queen's father. When the Lan family returns to the capital, you can discuss with them and ask them to bring back Lan's tablet. If I give birth to a child, it will be registered under Lan's name and will inherit the Lan family's incense. The Lan family will agree."
Master Bei thought this was a good idea, as no woman had ever been buried in her husband's family's ancestral tomb since ancient times.
If you die before getting married, you cannot be buried in the ancestral tomb.
If a couple divorces or abandons their spouse after marriage, they cannot be buried in the ancestral tomb of their mother's family.
"You don't need to get married either."
As soon as Mrs. Bei said this, Master Bei understood immediately.
Bei Lingyao felt very uncomfortable.
He has been in love with Li for more than ten years, and now he wants to use the deceased Lan to establish himself as a deeply affectionate person.
This mother and son are really disgusting.
It’s a pity that I met Bei Lingyao.
With her around, Lan doesn't need to return to the Bei family and be buried with Master Bei.
The incense will never stop burning.
A month later, the Lan family returned to Beijing.
Master Bei still stayed at home, and the emperor showed no signs of appointing him.
Master Bei was not in a hurry either.
When the Lan family returned to Beijing, the retired emperor rehabilitated them. With the confession of the Li family, there was no need for Tutor Bei.
