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

Chapter 289 Mother and Son
Xu Yuanshan was not affected by Mrs. Li's words at all, and he didn't even touch his eyebrows.

"Second sister-in-law, if you have evidence, you can present it to His Highness. My second brother's early death has always been a knot between my mother and me. Before my mother was alive, let me take care of you more."

"Mother's life is hard to break. I only treated you with courtesy for my mother's sake. I didn't expect that you would have an unreasonable desire to have an affair with someone, and even try to plant it on me, and use it to harm my mother and me." Sending a wife..."

At the end of Xu Yuanshan's speech, his voice was full of disappointment and pain, "Sister-in-law, you have really disappointed me. If your brother knows what you have done, he will also be extremely disappointed."

Mrs. Li Er was looking at him with eyes wide open, but when she heard him mention her brother, her pupils suddenly shrank.

"You... are despicable!" Mrs. Li Er gritted her teeth.

Xu Yuanshan bent his lips invisibly, straightened his waist, turned his head to look at her, with a serious face and righteous words: "If my sister-in-law can produce evidence to prove that I am the younger brother who died young, I can show it now If you can't get it out, you will be guilty of an even worse crime today if you falsely accuse the court of a first-rank duke!"

Second Mrs. Li stared at him, her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging into her flesh, she didn't realize it.

She obviously hated it to the extreme, wishing to eat his flesh raw, but for some reason, she clenched her teeth, but didn't say a single word.

"This is being threatened..." Liu Meiren said, "Could it be that there is something in her family that is pinched in his hands? Oh, big sister, your son has a really dark heart, and now you are dead , his sister-in-law is about to die, and the wife in front of him is also going to be hanged by him. Next, isn’t it the turn of your grandchildren?”

The old ancestor had mixed feelings on his face, and the pain in his eyes could not be concealed.

She floated up to Shen Lingxi and said sincerely: "Princess, please tell me this..."

However, before the old ancestor finished speaking, Shen Lingxi stretched out her green fingertips and touched her corpse's hand.

At this moment, the ancestor looked at his body and slowly opened his eyes.

She immediately thought of the previous rumors in the capital, and instantly understood what to do.

The movement on the bed did not attract too many people's attention.

At the very least, Xu Yuanshan, the "Gong of the State", only cared about killing Li Xiaoqing as soon as possible and had no time to care about others.

"Since my sister-in-law can't produce any evidence..." Xu Yuanshan snorted coldly, then bowed to Chu Yan: "Your Highness, please bring this wicked woman who dared to kill her mother-in-law and slander the imperial court officials to justice, and bring her to justice. "

However, just as he finished speaking, an old and hoarse voice came from behind him, "Erlang, Mrs. Li has guarded you for so many years, and there is hard work without credit. Are you in such a hurry to send her to die?"

Both Xu Yuanshan and Mrs. Li were shocked.

The two of them turned their heads in disbelief, and saw that their ancestor, who had long since passed away, got up from the bed at some point, got off the ground, and was looking at them faintly.

"Mother-in-law..." As soon as Mrs. Li saw the old ancestor, she crawled to the feet of the old ancestor with all hands and feet, and kowtowed to her old man "boom, boom, boom".

"Daughter-in-law is not filial. Daughter-in-law should not have helped that bastard Xu Yuanshan drug you. Daughter-in-law never expected that he would kill you. Daughter-in-law is sorry for you." Mrs. Li cried and confessed bitterly.

As soon as this statement came out, it was tantamount to surrendering himself in public and identifying the murderer.

Li Huai recovered from the shock of his ancestor's fraudulent corpse, and frowned when he heard this.

Without stopping for a moment, he went directly to his wooden box, took out a blank sheet of paper, and wrote down Mrs. Li's confession in a "swipe".

Xu Yuanshan narrowed his eyes slightly, completely ignoring what Li said.

In his view, it is more effective to solve the "problem person" than to solve the "problem".

As long as the person is dealt with, these confessions and identifications will not be a problem.

He looked directly at Shen Lingxi supporting the hand of the old ancestor.

"Silk puppetry." He said in a deep voice.As the "Emperor of Earth" in Yunjiang, how could Xu Yuanshan not recognize this thing.

"The Crown Princess is indeed a good method. Even Yunjiang Saintess can learn the secret technique of not passing on, and the silk-drawing puppet technique. No wonder these days, the whole of Yunjiang is rumored that the saint is resurrected... I don't know if the emperor knows. What do you think about this matter? If the Crown Princess has anything to say, you might as well just say it, and you don’t have to play tricks and insult my mother’s body like this.”

Shen Lingxi looked at him with a half-smile, but didn't speak.

The old ancestor on the side stared at him coldly with dark eyes, "Erlang, last night you took advantage of my coma and poured poison on me first, and thought I wasn't going to die fast enough, so you used wet rice paper to paste my Your mouth and nose. You cried so sincerely and in such pain last night that you said you would repay my kindness in your next life. Now that I am standing in front of you, why don’t you cry? "

When Xu Yuanshan heard this, his pupils suddenly tightened.

He knew that even if Shen Lingxi could find out the cause of his mother's death, it would be impossible to guess the details of his crimes and what he said before his mother died.

Then the person who cheated the corpse is most likely the ancestor.

No matter how deep Xu Yuanshan's mind was, it would be difficult for him to maintain his composure when the old mother he killed with his own hands appeared in front of him with a hideous face and fake corpse.

Xu Yuanshan took two steps back with a guilty conscience.

However, he soon realized that if he acquiesced to the old ancestor's rhetoric, what awaited him would be a land of eternal doom.

A ghost, even a ghost who cheated on a corpse, is just a wronged soul who died in his hands.

How can it be more terrifying than people?
Xu Yuanshan turned his head, looked at Chu Yan, and raised his voice intentionally, "Your Highness, today you let the princess make trouble here with the corpse of her mother, what is your intention? Could it be that you want to follow the example of the ancients and do the act of 'hiding the bird with its bow'?" ?"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a commotion of footsteps outside the courtyard.

Xu Yuan kindly relaxed slightly.

He never fought unprepared battles, just now when he was changing clothes, he had already laid a net outside this courtyard.

This is the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. Even if the Dongchuang Incident occurs, how can Chu Yan, a young boy who doesn't know the heights of the world, take him away easily.

Big deal, just the opposite.

After the Yun Kingdom is restored, he can also ascend the throne and become an emperor.

Chu Yan looked at him indifferently, and could see the calculation in his heart at a glance.

"When all the bows are hidden, you have to get that bow first." Chu Yan said in a cool tone, "You are just a slingshot at best. It's not worth being alone with you, imitating the ancients."

This is not very hurtful, but highly insulting.

Liu Mei and several former concubines burst into laughter.

Shen Lingxi, who was supporting the ancestor's corpse, couldn't help laughing.

Xu Yuanshan's face instantly darkened, "I have been loyal to His Highness from the beginning to the end. Your Highness must not forget that when you almost died at Zhanlongpo, I still saved you."

Hearing him mention "Zhan Longpo", the smile on Shen Lingxi's face instantly disappeared from the corner of her lips.

"Oh?" Chu Yan raised his eyebrows, his face turned cold, "What are you, dare to say that you have saved Gu's life."

"Chun Jun, slap your mouth!"
