After rebirth, Bai Yueguang's abandoned wife is soft and unstoppable

Chapter 6 Blood Stained Lantern Festival

An Qianwen saw that the trick worked, and An Tai hated An Qianru, so she went down the slope and made up some falsehoods.

"The rest of the banknotes were indeed handed over to my sister and me for safekeeping, but those banknotes were snatched away by the gangsters long ago. The reason why they let us go is because we promised to help them monitor you, Dad."

An Qianya also spoke softly, "We are just doing this to save our lives, and we don't really want to do it. They packed us in black cloth bags. It's horrific, and we dare not refuse."

The officials took them to question, and they also said the same, and they didn't change their words even after being tortured, and finally they were released.

After a series of twists and turns, Antai only suffered dozens of sticks, was demoted to two ranks, and lost a concubine with bad character. How could the people behind the scenes bear it?

The weather is getting colder and colder, and a grand snowstorm has been quietly brewing over Anfu.

But the people living inside were not at all defensive.

Especially, Sister An Qianya who quietly embezzled 700 taels from the villain.

While recuperating at home, they were thinking about how to spend the huge sum of money when the weather calmed down.

In a flash, it's the end of the year.

An Tai, who received his salary, first paid off his debts and felt relaxed.

Recalling the most difficult days in his family in the past few months, several colleagues and friends have been selflessly helping him, and he plans to host a banquet at home to entertain them.

But after going through the past, no one dared to come, let alone the gift giver.

Only Shangguan Yuan, who was thinking about his daughter, dared to come to have a light meal.

Because this meal was made by Qianru.

Shangguan Yuan didn't even think about it, and followed An Tai after the next court.

In order to reduce expenses, the huge house only hired two handymen, one cook, and even the coachman was also a handyman.

So with the addition of their family of six, there are only nine people.

Only two of these nine people took leave by the end of the year, including the cook.

Therefore, Qianru had no choice but to roll up her sleeves and cook on the stove.

Cooked her past life, the first meal ever.

Since Mrs. Liu went to jail, An Qianya's three siblings have become more peaceful in front of her. Even though the food she cooked was bland, they didn't complain in person.

Not to mention Zhixuan, he kept praising him.

Shangguan Yuan hated it, he ate fish with fish scales in it, and when he drank soup, he pointed to the unplucked hair on the back of the chicken to show her, either the vegetables were burnt or the salt was missing, everything could be wrong.

"Brother Shangguan, were you also so picky when you were fighting?"

Zhixuan literally spoke her mind.

In her opinion, Shangguan Yuan is the disguised version of his mother, stubborn, critical, and rude. The only thing that makes the back wave worse than the front wave is that he is not so arrogant.

"I'm here for a banquet, not for a war, so of course I have to be picky."

"My sister and I washed the dishes together, and we plucked the chicken feathers together. In order to treat you to dinner, our hands got sores from the cold." Zhixuan complained bitterly, placing a pair of red hands in front of Shangguanyuan : "It's not easy to treat you to a meal!"

Just because of this, Shangguan Yuan and Zhi Xuan got into a fight.

Qianru felt that he had a small belly, but Antai looked at him happily, as if he had acquiesced to this son-in-law.

The next day, their family went to the Lantern Festival together, and Shangguan Yuan crowded over to join them.

The three of An Qianya and her brother disliked each other, and broke up with them after obtaining Antai's permission.

In order to match Shangguanyuan with her, Antai took Zhixuan away.

Shangguan Yuan protected her and squeezed around in the crowd, enjoying herself, but she was not in that good mood and dealt with it carelessly.

"Believe it or not, I can guess twenty lantern riddles in one go?"

She suddenly remembered that when she was in Shangguan's house in her previous life, the powerful old lady of Shangguan hated others who were more powerful than her, thinking that like a mother, like a son.

So, she took the initiative to provoke Shangguan Yuan, "If you can guess twenty riddles correctly, I can guess all the lantern riddles here."

"That's a big tone. I'm a well-known all-rounder in civil and military affairs. Let alone twenty, I can guess two hundred."

it is good!That's all it takes.

She secretly laughed, while concentrating on guessing.

In her previous life, she was sick and unable to do many things. Apart from sleeping, she spent most of her time reading books to pass the time.

All kinds of lantern riddles and anagrams, those who have been familiar for a long time can't be familiar again.

She guessed one by one and guessed one by one, guessed all of them right from the beginning to the end without any effort, and won the jackpot.

Seeing Shangguan Yuan standing there in a daze, she was so proud that she passed him without looking sideways.

Unexpectedly, that guy threw her high and high, and she screamed out of fright.

She called others, and it was worse than hers.

The crowd suddenly rioted, shouting: "Killed, dead!"

She was worried about Zhixuan and Antai, and kept looking around.

Shangguan Yuan was tall and tall, so he spotted An Tai first, and immediately dragged her to squeeze over there.

Amidst the noise, An Qianya gradually woke up and found that she was holding a murderous knife in her hand, while her younger sister An Qianwen and younger brother An Zhihui were lying in a pool of blood beside her.

The cold weather caused the blood on the ground to coagulate quickly, but the blood from the wound was still gushing.

"what"

She screamed in horror and heart-piercing.

"Qianya, what's going on?"

Seeing her father staring at the bloody knife in her hand, An Qianya was so heartbroken that she threw it away and fled, but was caught by the officers and soldiers who came.

"Not me, I didn't, I didn't"

An Zhihui had died, but An Qianwen was still alive.

She slowly opened her eyes, and saw her sister An Qianya standing aside, fearfully hiding beside her father An Tai.

"Don't kill me, I'll give you all the money, all of it"

"A bank note? What bank note?"

"It's the bribes my mother received privately. Dad, you know it! In order to monopolize those bank notes, my sister wanted to kill us while there were too many people. Zhihui, she did it."

"What? You lied in order to embezzle bribes!"

Antai immediately killed their relatives and left them alone, and then reported the matter to Hu Yong, the imperial historian.

Around dawn, there was a lot of snow in the sky.

When Qianru and Zhixuan delivered Antai's breakfast, they found that his temples were as white as snow outside overnight, and her nose was sore.

According to the laws and regulations of the Daxuan Dynasty, officials who accept bribes exceeding 320 taels will be hanged, and the family members of officials who accept bribes will be reduced by two grades.

At least one will die, and at worst, the family will be affected.

"The eldest sister and the third sister have always been good friends, and they love my younger brother very much. I don't think she will kill anyone."

How could Antai not understand what Zhixuan knew?
"Our family is doomed this time! They deliberately punished us to death!"

"Father, I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"

Qianru knelt at Antai's feet guiltily. She couldn't avenge her family in her previous life and hurt her current family. She wished she could die to apologize.

"I don't blame you, it's because father has made too many enemies all his life. We inspectors live in this world to offend the bad guys. The more the bad guys hate you, the more brutal the revenge will be. These, when I took this road, my father didn't know what to do. I figured it out. It’s just that I got you all involved!”

"I'm not afraid."

"I'm not afraid either."

"Good boy!"

An Tai moved their siblings into his arms.

"Promise Dad, no matter what happens, you must support each other, live a good life, and be an upright person."

At this time, Shangguan Yuan came.

An Tai calmly waited for the bad news, but the result was quite different from what he expected.

"I just inquired about a strange thing. I heard that King Luo is desperately protecting you in front of the imperial court."

"What? Did I hear you right? You said that King Luo, the presiding judge of the Anhou Mansion case, would protect my father?"

"That's true. The imperial edict is coming. I'm here to report to you so that you can feel at ease. The emperor has always trusted King Luo. He can keep you safe, at least not too badly."

Just as I was talking here, the servant who announced the decree arrived.

Antai was not punished, and was not even demoted, but was sent to Gui County for inspection.

Gui County is the fiefdom of King Gui, but King Luo instigated him to send him to Gui County for inspection, which undoubtedly pushed him into the fire pit again.

Fifteen years ago, he was exiled from the capital because he offended King Gui.

King Luo's move was undoubtedly a murder with a borrowed knife.

Antai had already seen everything, but he didn't want to scare the children, so he pretended nothing had happened, packed his luggage step by step and set off for Guijun the next day.
