Chapter 139 Break the other leg

Lu Yaozong smashed the driver to death, and then exchanged Lu Zhiping

's clothes with the driver. He pushed his brother down the cliff with a complex resentment, and was sure that the bottom of the cliff was unfathomable and there was no way to survive before he felt relieved. Before leaving, he returned and smashed the driver's face, found a piece of charcoal ash and put a mole on his neck, and then pretended to be scared and went back to report that he had met a bandit. He also kept telling everyone that the person who was smashed was definitely Lu Zhiping.

Zhaoyang was about to die, so he didn't dare to let her see the broken face of the body, and only identified the identity based on the mole on the neck.

After Lu Yaozong told Liu the truth, Liu scolded him!

If Lu Zhiping was still alive, Zhaoyang would have stayed in Lu's house, and her dowry would have stayed here. Now that he was dead, Zhaoyang had no attachment to the people in the house, so why would she be willing to stay here and get emotional? At that time, the dowry would naturally be taken away.

In order to keep the dowry, Liu took advantage of Zhaoyang's quiet time at Shangqing Temple, found the men from her natal family, broke into Lu's house at night, pretended to be robbers who committed murder and arson, and robbed half of Zhaoyang's dowry!

Liu could not reveal the robbery of the dowry, but told everyone the truth about Lu Zhiping's death.

The room was as quiet as death.

Zhaoyang's face was pale, his palms on the armrest were shaking slightly, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"You are so brave."

This was not a stern rebuke, but a calm whisper.

After being a widow for many years, the noble ladies in the capital laughed at her for being brainless. As a member of the royal family, was she also trapped by these rules and regulations?

Only Zhaoyang knew it in her heart.

The best boy for her would never come back.

She couldn't let go.

Liu knelt on the ground, her legs weak, afraid that Zhaoyang would punish her, so she begged for mercy: "Princess, I have been worried for so many years. The year after his death, I sent people to find the body at the bottom of the cliff, buried it properly and erected a tombstone. As long as you promise not to pursue this matter, I will tell you the location of the grave."

Nanny Tang kicked her angrily: "You old thing, you still want to negotiate? I will kick you to death!"

Liu fell to the ground, holding her stomach and screaming.

How could her old bones withstand such a kick?

"I promise you." Zhaoyang sighed.

Liu was afraid that she would regret it, so she got up immediately without paying attention to the pain and answered: "There is a Bugui Mountain outside the capital. There is a small village near the southwest. Zhiping is buried in the village."

Zhaoyang's eyelashes trembled, and he immediately sent people to look for her.

Su He walked up to Liu, his eyes were cold, and ordered: "Tie her up and send her to the government office."

"The princess clearly said that she would not pursue the matter!"

Liu screamed.

Su He lightly raised his foot and stepped on the back of her hand, saying in a cold voice: "My husband has been ostracized and ridiculed since he was a child because he had no father. My mother will not pursue the matter, so I will pursue it for him. Old lady, your life is over."

"No! Don't!"

Liu didn't expect Su He to be so unreasonable and so arrogant in front of the princess.

Her grandson has not been found yet!

She has not had time to spend the money she hid!

She does not want to die!

"Let me go!"

Liu struggled hard and escaped from the hands of the servants. When she stepped out of the room, she slipped and fell on the steps.

With a crack of bones, Liu fainted.

Qingyun went forward to check and found that she had broken a leg.

Su He said coldly: "Since she likes to run, break the other leg and throw her to the government office!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Liu had suffered retribution so quickly, Nanny Tang felt very happy and spat at her broken leg, speaking up for the eldest princess.

The noisy room finally quieted down.

Su He saw Zhao Yang looked pale and lost, so she asked Nanny Tang to help her back to rest.

After no one was around, Su He took out the letter from Chen before she passed away from the cabinet. It only said that Lu Zhiping's death was related to the Lu family, and did not say who was the murderer. She had been in the Lu mansion for a long time, and she could tell who was the greedy wolf at a glance.

Now that the truth is out, Liu's death is not a pity.

At midnight.

News came from outside that Aunt Lu's tomb had been found.

Su He immediately got up to see Zhao Yang, but heard her sobbing outside the hall. When she walked into the hall, she found that she had never rested, and her eyes were red from crying.

Seeing someone coming, Zhaoyang wiped away his tears, and Nanny Tang who was beside him couldn't help but tear up.

"Don't worry, mother, Qingyun has already left and will never return to the mountains. He will definitely move father's tomb back intact."

With him in charge, everyone is naturally relieved.

Hearing the word "father", Zhaoyang felt indescribably sad.

If Huaihe knew, would he be happy?

"Mother, when father comes back, bury him again in Shangqing Temple."

Buddhist music is peaceful.

It is a good place for burial.

Zhaoyang endured the grief and agreed: "I am old and useless, and I will leave everything to you in the future."

Su He and Nanny Tang knew that she was heartbroken and didn't want to worry about these mundane things anymore.

"Mother, please accept my condolences."

Zhaoyang burst into tears.

On the second day, the news that Princess Zhaoyang had found her husband's body spread throughout the capital.

When she led people to search the Lu Mansion, she also found a cellar under the Weirui Pavilion, which was full of dusty gold, silver and jewelry. After being identified by Nanny Tang, it was indeed the Princess' lost dowry.

It was rumored that robbers set fire to the house and took away half of the Princess' dowry. Afterwards, no one found out about it, so the case was left unresolved.

But no one knew how the lost dowry appeared in the basement of the Lu Mansion?

In prison.

Aunt Yang brought the news of the Lu Mansion being investigated to Liu.

At this moment, she was crawling on the ground, her legs hanging down, unconscious, and unable to use any strength.

Hearing that all her money was gone, Liu collapsed, pounding her fists on the ground, her heart bleeding.

"Did Su He lead people to investigate Wei Rui Pavilion?"

"It was... Qing Yun who was beside her." Mrs. Yang hung her head.

"My money, my money!!"

Liu cried loudly in the prison door, not knowing whether she was angry that she was imprisoned here with her old bones, or that the money she had hidden for half a lifetime was useless.

Mrs. Yang took out a deed of sale from her sleeve.

She held it in her hand and showed it to Liu.

"Madam, I have served you for half my life, and now I am finally free."

Liu turned back in surprise, not understanding what this meant.

Mrs. Yang took out a fire starter and lit it, and the small flame slowly burned the contract of sale cleanly.

"Before I wanted to leave, you locked the contract of sale and refused to let me go, but now I didn't expect to find it myself. Madam, I have served you once, so I won't add insult to injury. Don't worry, after you die, I will give you a grand burial."
