All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

When asked by Chu Yan, Li Huai naturally told the truth, "The deceased's eyeballs were protruding, his eyes were congested, his teeth were brown and red, his face had bruises, and his body spots appeared early, his mouth and nose were bloody, and his heart and lungs had blood spots. "

"Although there were traces of poison in the deceased's mouth, and his lips were black and blue, the flesh and bones were yellowish-white, which meant that although the deceased had been poured with poison before he died, the murderer changed his method and suffocated the deceased alive. die."

Hearing this, except for the two coroners Shen Lingxi and Li Huai, everyone was shocked.

"Who is so cruel?" Xu Huan was still calm since he entered the door, but now he heard that his grandmother was abused in this way, and his face was full of anger.

Lord Zhen Guo glanced at Mrs. Li Er.

The second wife pinched the handkerchief in her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes lightly, "The old ancestor has been doing good deeds all her life, not to mention giving porridge and charity to the poor people every now and then, but only saying that she is the closest to the servants in this mansion." Thick, I've never turned my face down to anyone..."

As she spoke, she paused meaningfully, and said meaningfully: "I don't know who I have such an enmity with, but I wish the old man died immediately before giving up..."

At the end, the second wife caressed her heart and sighed, with tears of pain in her eyes.

She only said that the old ancestor was kind to everyone before he was alive.

But everyone knows that the ancestors of the Hefu were only "bad" to one person.

Needless to say, who would hate her old man and use such vicious means to deal with her old man.

When the dead soul of the ancestor heard these words, his soul floated directly in front of the second wife, and looked straight at her with a pair of eyes full of blood and tears.

This scene is as scary as it needs to be.

It's a pity that the second wife couldn't see it.

Shen Lingxi looked at the second wife with a smile that was not a smile, and said lightly, "The second wife seems to understand the murderer's intentions very well, otherwise she would not know that the other party smothered the ancestor to death because she was worried that the poison would not be effective enough to kill people quickly."

If someone else said this, it would definitely make people think that she was deliberately exonerating Mrs. Cao, and that the misfortune Dongyin wanted to put the murderer's hat on the second wife's head.

But Shen Lingxi is the princess.

Everything the Crown Princess said and did represented the attitude of the Chu family and Chu Yan.

She doesn't say things like that for no reason.

When Xu Huan and Xu Ziyao were in Yongtai Palace, they had seen Shen Lingxi's power.

After hearing this, the two people's expressions immediately changed, and they both looked at Mrs. Li Er, with the look on her face that they already regarded her as the real culprit.

Mrs. Li's hand, which was wiping her tears with a handkerchief, gave a sudden pause.

She raised her eyes in disbelief, "Crown Princess, you can't mess up your words..."

Before the word "Shuo" could be uttered, it was interrupted by the majestic voice of Lord Zhen Guo.

Lord Zhen Guo looked at Li Huai with eyes like a torch, and said in a deep voice, "May I ask Li Shaoqing, since my mother was smothered to death, why is there no trace of oppression on her face? I checked her old man's hand last night, and there was no struggle. There are no traces. The guards at night also said that there was no movement in the bedroom last night."

"Li Shaoqing didn't test out what kind of poison my mother was poisoned with, but she said conclusively that my mother was smothered to death. Who gave you the courage to speak nonsense in front of His Highness!"

Having said that, before Li Huai could speak, he flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, "For your aunt's sake, I don't care about you."

He bowed to Chu Yan again, "Your Highness, please send another forensic officer to do the autopsy. I'm sorry that the officials don't agree with Li Shaoqing's autopsy results."

Although he didn't attack Shen Lingxi, he pointed at Li Huai's autopsy results.

Shen Lingxi and Li Huai stood together, and now everyone in the world knows what kind of background she is a princess.

When he said that Li Huai was "talking nonsense", it was tantamount to bringing Shen Lingxi along with him.If Chu Yan complied with his request, wouldn't it be helping outsiders to save face for his own family.

"Duke Zhen can't hold his breath." Chu Yan raised his eyes and said in a calm tone: "The Crown Princess just said a few words about Mrs. Li, and you are eager to cover it up for her. You don't have to be so obvious."

Zhen Guogong's pupils shook.

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" He pretended to be surprised and looked at Chu Yan, "I just questioned Li Huai's autopsy results, why do you..."

"Come here." Chu Yan interrupted him coldly, "Arrest Mrs. Li."

As soon as the words fell, Chunjun rushed in from the door with the embroidered messenger.

If you talk about talent just now, Shen Lingxi's words left a bit of leeway.

Chu Yan didn't even talk about the evidence, and directly accused the person, which was tantamount to convicting the second wife of Li.

The second wife of Li had never seen such a scene before, she was so frightened that her face paled, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed Duke Zhen's sleeve, "Master, save me..."

When people are in the most danger, they will subconsciously turn to the closest people for help.

Li Shi's actions, and this delicate and dependent tone...

Not to mention the two insiders, Chu Yan and Shen Lingxi, but also the other people present and the ghosts, all immediately saw the trick.

"Tsk... there is adultery!" Liu Meiren's eyes lit up, and she floated in front of the two people, and circled around them twice, "One is an uncle, the other is a widow, ouch, uncle..."

She shook her head towards her ancestor and sighed: "Big sister, you old Xu family's family style, that's not acceptable."

Shen Lingxi's forehead twitched.

A woman in Huaxin's age called an old man with white hair "Big Sister".

Only between dead souls and dead souls can such bizarre scenes occur.

The old ancestor floated in front of those two people, staring at them quietly.

As the head of the family, she did not feel ashamed by Liu Meiren's words.

On the contrary, Li Huai did not expect that his aunt would have an affair with Lord Zhen Guo, and his handsome face would froze there for a while, with green and red turns.

Brother and sister Xu Huan and Xu Ziyao were so shocked that they couldn't be more shocked, they both exclaimed in unison:
"Father!"

"Dad, you and your second aunt..."

"Shut up!" Duke Zhen stopped Xu Ziyao's words in a deep voice.

He pulled back his sleeves with all his strength, and said to Mrs. Li with a cold face: "Sister-in-law, you have overstepped the distance. Those who are cleared will be cleared. You can rest assured to go back with Your Highness. If you are wronged, His Highness will investigate and find out. , I will give you justice."

Second Mrs. Li lost her support, staggered and fell to the ground.

However, the words of Lord Zhen Guo woke her up.

At this time, she should not ask him for help, but should make a statement to Chu Yan: "Your Highness, please check clearly, the minister's wife and mother-in-law have always been in harmony, and there is no grievance or enmity. These years, the concubine has lost her husband, and the widow lives at home. Mother treats my wife as her own, and my wife will never harm her old man no matter what."

"You have no grudges or enmities with your ancestors, but you have grudges with Mrs. Cao."

Shen Lingxi was behind her, and said coolly, "One day Mrs. Cao refuses to reconcile with the Duke of Zhen, and then occupies the position of Mrs. Guo, and the old ancestor has been unwilling to divorce her for a long time. If Before her old man died, she hadn't kicked Mrs. Cao out of the house... What should you do with the child in your womb?"
