Chapter 301 The Incredible Truth
There was a constant stream of abuse from people around, all trying to stand up for justice.
"Han Zimo is such a shameless person! He's such a jerk!"
"Indeed, he is worse than pigs and dogs. How could such a person still be an official in the court? He is simply a parasite of the court! He is a disgrace to the court. The censors quickly impeached him and dismissed him from office."
"To secretly frame his own brother, what a dark and cruel heart he must have! Calling him a heartless person, worse than pigs and dogs, is an insult to those beasts..."
"After hearing the accusations from the wife of the Duke of Protector of the Nation, I feel that human nature is truly terrifying. From now on, I won't trust anyone around me easily. Even those closest to me will be viewed with suspicion. After all, if some people can harm their own brothers, what else can they not do?"
"This Mr. Han is such a piece of shit, and Zhu Yufang, who's in cahoots with her, is even worse. This couple is so devoid of conscience! They'll get their comeuppance sooner or later."
"They are such bad couples, I guess their children won't be any better, right?"
......
There was an endless stream of insults and noises.
Han Zimo had no way to refute it, so he could only lower his head and let it go.
He knew that he was completely finished this time.
Everything will be lost in the end.
He began to reflect on himself, and at this moment he felt extremely regretful.
It’s all because of greed.
He made one mistake after another, and finally fell into the quagmire, unable to extricate himself...
Shen Xuanzhi saw that Han Zimo remained silent.
So he said, "Sir Shen, please accompany me to the Dali Temple and cooperate with the investigation."
Seeing that Han Zimo was about to be taken away, Bai Anru became anxious.
"You can't just arrest people like this. He was wrongly accused. You're all talking nonsense..."
She could have pretended to be weak and kept silent, hoping that instead of more trouble, she could avoid disaster.
However, now that the disaster had struck, she was truly panicked.
If Han Zimo was arrested, wouldn't her world be ruined?
With her support gone and her hidden treasures confiscated, what hope did she have? How would she and her child live in the future?
Bai Anru held Han Zimo's hand tightly and refused to let go, tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful.
"Those things must have been buried in the yard intentionally by someone, just to frame us..."
After hearing this, Lin Pianran began to look at this woman with a new respect.
I didn't expect this woman to react so quickly and find an excuse right away.
This kind of method may be used to play tricks in the backyard, but it is completely useless in such a formal occasion.
As a concubine, who would take her seriously? Her words had no weight at all.
Shen Xuanzhi ordered the yamen runners behind him, "Take this concubine away with you as well!"
Two yamen runners rushed forward and took Bai Anru away without any courtesy.
Bai Anru struggled desperately, explained and begged for mercy, but she was still taken away.
Seeing this scene, Lin Pianran finally smiled with satisfaction.
It is estimated that after they return home, Zhu Yufang will be taken away, and the next time they meet will be in prison.
Now, the two biggest problems in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion have been solved. The mansion should be much more peaceful and life will be more comfortable.
After the mother and daughter returned home, Han Chaolin said hello and left in a hurry.
Lin Pianran knew very well that he probably went to capture the old lady for interrogation.
Within this day, all the evil people in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion were dealt with and received the retribution they deserved.
Lin Pianran suddenly felt that the air in the mansion was much fresher, and her mood became even better.
Just after dinner, Han Chaolin came to invite Lin Pianran over.
"Sister, that old hag has told us a lot of things. Let's go and listen to them together!"
Lin Pianran was very excited and agreed happily.
"Okay, I also want to know the truth and see how many dirty things our Protectorate Mansion has hidden."
The two of them came together to the most remote courtyard of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, which looked very deserted.
But behind the rockery in the yard, there is another mystery.
When Han Chaolin twisted an inconspicuous mechanism on the rockery, a small door opened.
Han Chaolin held the lantern in one hand and held Lin Pianran's hand with the other, and the two walked down the stone stairs.
Lin Pianran thought the lantern was not bright enough, so she gave Han Chaolin a flashlight.
When Han Chaolin saw this thing, he found it useful and rare, and he couldn't put it down.
The underground cell is not very large and is probably of no use, so it has always been empty.
Although it was dark inside, it was very clean. The air was slightly humid, but there was no unpleasant smell.
At this time, the old lady was not in a very sorry state. She knelt obediently on the cold ground, looking very scared.
"This old man is very timid. He only spanked her five times and she was so scared that she confessed everything."
After all, he is old and has been pampered for so many years, how can he withstand the hardship?
This was completely within Lin Pianran's expectations.
After she scared the old servant for the first time, she was terrified the second time she saw Lin Pianran. Lin Pianran knew that she was a "paper tiger" who only bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Lin Pianran sat on the chair prepared in advance and looked at the old lady below with an indifferent expression.
Han Chaolin was standing next to her.
"Tell the county lady again what you just said!"
The old lady raised her head tremblingly, her face full of fear.
"Are you the child that Nanny Li abandoned ten years ago?"
Lin Pianran still had no expression on her face.
"Yes, that's me."
"I see. Do you remember what happened back then?"
Lin Pianran answered truthfully.
"At that time, Nanny Li caused me to suffer a severe head injury and lose my memory. Not long ago, I was injured in the head again at the Royal Hunting Grounds, and miraculously, my memory was restored and I could recall everything."
The old lady burst into tears and murmured, "It's true that man proposes, God disposes! We all thought you were doomed, and even if you didn't die, you wouldn't be able to return to the Duke of the Protectorate's Mansion. But we didn't expect that fate would play tricks on us and cause such an accident..."
The old lady was crying and laughing, almost crazy.
Only then did she recall the past and explain it.
"I was the first lady's personal maid. Later, I tried every possible means to seduce the old general and was promoted to a concubine. When the lady gave birth to her second child, I also became pregnant and gave birth on the same day as the lady."
Hearing this, Lin Pianran raised his eyebrows.
"You took the opportunity to switch the child's identity, right?"
The old lady's face was full of disbelief.
She asked sharply, "Only three people know about this. How did you know?"
