Chapter 3 Human and Physical Evidence
"No!" Lu Lianzhi immediately interrupted him, fearing that he would reveal that he was being instigated by others, and said with a flash of his face, "This person has the reputation of being a scholar, how can he be tortured at will?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't need punishment. Then send it to the officials. Let the officials interrogate and they will definitely get to the bottom of it." Dou Lianyi calmed down and pointed at Du Juan who was kneeling on the ground. "Send this maid over too. She is a human being." Here’s the certificate.”

Lu Lianzhi was completely panicked now. What if she was really sent to prison and the two of them couldn't stand the punishment and recruited her again.

She immediately turned her eyes to Mrs. Lu for help.

Mrs. Lu frowned and said disapprovingly: "You can't report it to the official. This is a private matter of the palace. How can it be made known to everyone and damage the reputation of our county and prince's palace."

Dou Lianyi's eyebrows were cold and she immediately retorted, "Mother, this matter is not trivial. It is related to my sister-in-law's reputation. We should find out clearly.

Now this scholar said he had an affair with his sister-in-law, and now he was sneaky and wanted to do something wrong. If someone in Baima Temple saw it, he must be sent to the official to find out! "

After hearing her words, the mother and daughter both looked very ugly.

Dou Lianyi sneered in her heart and wanted to see how Lu Lianzhi could deal with it.

At this moment, the maid Yan'er behind Lu Lianzhi suddenly fell to her knees on the ground with a pop, crying and begging for mercy: "Old madam, it was this slave who was in love with that scholar! I was confused for a moment! I stole my aunt's hairpin and gave it to the scholar. , and even made an appointment with him for a secret tryst at White Horse Temple, please forgive me, madam!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed to the ground several times.

Lu Lianzhi looked at the maid whom she valued most with a complicated expression, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She pretended to be angry and scolded: "You girl, how can you be so confused? If you are interested in that scholar, just tell me directly. Why give and receive privately!"

After saying that, he changed the topic again and sighed, "For the sake of you serving me for so many years, I will not pursue this matter. I am not an unreasonable master, so I will help you."

Dou Lianyi immediately sneered, "Sister-in-law, this scholar has bad conduct. I think it's better to investigate clearly, so as not to waste this girl's life."

Lu Lianzhi looked impatient and just wanted to resolve the matter quickly. She said in a bad tone: "My husband is affectionate and I am interested in my concubine. Why should my sister-in-law stop her? If we let her go and get married, our family will also gain a good reputation."

How could Dou Lianyi let her have her way so easily? Her smile gradually turned cold, "To be on the safe side, let's search this girl's house. If she really had an affair with that scholar, there will definitely be traces left behind."

The expressions of Lu Lianzhi and Yan'er changed at the same time. Lu Lianzhi wanted to object, but couldn't find a good excuse.

Yan'er, a slave, is even less likely to stop Dou Lianyi.

Soon, the people Dou Lianyi sent to search the house came back and brought back a deed and a large sum of gold and silver.

When Yan'er saw these things, her face instantly turned pale, and her body while kneeling on the ground couldn't help but tremble.

Dou Lianyi got the deed, which was signed by the scholar. It clearly stated that as long as he paid off his gambling debt, he could do something for Yan'er.

She sneered and asked someone to bring the things to Mrs. Lu.

"Bastard servant, here is the evidence of your crime, do you have anything to say?" Dou Lianyi asked sternly with a frown on her face.

Yan'er had been restrained, her body was shaking like chaff, and she looked at Lu Lianzhi with a pale face, with her last hope.

Dou Lianyi took everything in sight and continued to shout coldly, "You are a little maid, you are full of lies, you collude with outsiders to frame your mistress, you should be executed with a cane!"

When Yan'er heard that she was going to be killed with a stick, she was so frightened that she became incontinent on the spot.

Dou Lianyi looked like he was threatening, so he changed the topic again, "Looking at the amount of gold and silver in your house, you must have been ordered by someone else. If you reveal the mastermind behind it, I will spare your life." Yan'er bit her lip, His face changed several times. Thinking of his father and mother who were still working under my aunt, he gritted his teeth and said with trembling lips: "No one ordered it...it was all my own idea..."

Lu Lianzhi's tense expression relaxed, and she hesitated for a moment, but still did not plead for Yan'er.

Dou Lianyi looked at her coldly, becoming more and more afraid of Lu Lianzhi. She was really a woman with a heart of snakes and scorpions, and Yan'er was considered her confidant. He had been by her side for so long, yet she pushed her out to take the blame without hesitation.

She sneered and immediately had Yan'er tied up.

"Take him down! Kill him with a stick immediately."

Dou Lianyi asked the executioner to kill Yan'er directly in front of all the servants.

She was so tough in her tactics just to scare the monkeys. After this incident, whether it was Lu Lianzhi or the people next to her, they should think about the consequences if they want to attack her again.

Not long after Dou Lianyi killed Yan'er with a stick, a maid came in to report that the prince was back.

As soon as Lu Shangxuan returned to the house, he learned about what happened in the house from his servants. He hurried to Shou'an Hall and saw Yan'er who had expired.

In the yard where the execution took place, blood flowed all over the floor.

His face was instantly as black as the bottom of a pot.

When Lu Lianzhi saw Lu Shangxuan walking in, she immediately ran over and threw herself into his arms, crying bitterly, "Brother! Yan'er is dead... Lian'er is so scared! Lian'er is really scared!"

"Don't be afraid, Lian'er. Brother already knows it, and he won't let anyone bully you!"

Lu Shangxuan looked at his sweetheart who was crying so hard that he felt extremely distressed. Thinking of the culprit who frightened her into such a state, he looked at Dou Lianyi with cold eyes.

"Dou Lianyi, how could you do this to your sister-in-law! The methods are so cruel, you are not worthy of being my Lu family's wife! You are such a poisonous woman, you can't even compare to one of Lian'er's fingers!"

Dou Lianyi looked coldly at the ferocious-looking man in front of her. He held his "biological sister" lovingly in his arms, but denounced and accused his wife.

There was only indifference and ridicule in her heart.

How stupid must I have been in my previous life to not see that this pair of bastards had been hooking up for a long time.

She wore a frosty mask, walked towards Lu Shangxuan step by step, stopped opposite him, and suddenly smiled.

"My husband is right! I am cruel and unkind, and I am not worthy of being the wife of the Lu family. I am not as gentle and kind as my sister-in-law. Why don't you divorce me now and live with my sister-in-law?"

Lu Shangxuan didn't expect that he would say such words as He Li, and he was immediately stunned.

"No! I don't agree with the reconciliation!" Mrs. Lu, who had been silent until now, heard Dou Lianyi say that she wanted to reconcile, and immediately became excited and objected sternly.

If this is really a divorce, where will their county and prince's palace find a daughter-in-law with a background like Dou Lianyi and a large dowry.

Maybe she felt that her reaction was too intense. She coughed lightly, frowned and glared at Lu Shangxuan and reprimanded: "How can you say that to Lian Niang? She just dealt with a servant who made a mistake. Why is it wrong? Lian'er's It’s just a misunderstanding, please apologize to Lian Niang immediately!”
