After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 336 That Girl Used to Live Here
When Mother Lu learned that her youngest son was punished, she felt distressed but did not plead with Lu Xingzhi.

She found out later that the person who assassinated Jingjing was actually the little beggar, and that the little beggar was not a child at all, but a dwarf in disguise.

Thinking about how she had taken good care of her for several days, she was shocked, frightened and regretful at the same time.

It was also her fault that such a disaster happened today.

Jingjing had told her before that she couldn't bear to send the little beggar to the charity. Later, when she saw that the little beggar was very dependent on her, she forgot what Jingjing said and thought that it was not a big deal to have one more child at home.

Unexpectedly, the child turned out to be a dwarf with evil intentions.

If I had listened to Jingjing earlier and sent the little beggar away, what happened today would not have happened.

Thinking that Jingjing was pregnant, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

It almost happened.

Mother Lu was terrified.

……

The Duke's Mansion of the State of Qin.

Qin Yue'er locked herself in the room, curled up in the corner, feeling cold all over.

Her mother died?

And she is a bastard born from her mother and her lover?

When she heard the news, she was shocked and couldn't believe it.

But everyone outside is spreading this matter...

No, these must have been spread by others.

She is Qin Moyuan's daughter, not a bastard.

It must be Qiao Jingjing’s doing.

She was jealous of me and wanted to snatch my identity as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Qin's Mansion, so she slandered and spread rumors about me maliciously, thinking that she would not be able to bear it and leave the Duke of Qin's Mansion.

Qiao Jingjing, forget it!
She will never do what she wants or what she desires.

She is the legitimate daughter of Duke Qin's Mansion. No one can shake her status, and no one can make her leave Duke Qin's Mansion!

Qin Yue'er clenched her fists, and resentment flashed across her eyes.

She won't let Qiao Jingjing go!
At the same time, the Yu family was also at the center of the storm.

The secret that the Yu family had concealed for many years spread at an alarming speed.

Almost overnight, the news spread throughout the capital.

Even the news that Yu had cheated on Duke Qin and gave birth to a daughter with her lover was widely spread.

It is really unexpected that the daughter that Duke Qin raised with great effort turned out to be the bastard of Yu and another man.

That's ridiculous!
Although Yu has paid the price for his actions, the people are still very angry.

Duke Qin was the god of war of Dayan and a great hero revered by the people. If it had not been for Duke Qin who repelled the enemy when the enemy invaded, Dayan would have been destroyed long ago. How could they live and work in peace and contentment now?

But such a hero who fought on the battlefield for his country and his people, regardless of life and death, was actually played around by the vicious Yu family.

The people could not stand it any longer and rushed to Yu's house to throw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves.

Some more radical people even throw feces directly.

For a while, the Yu family was filled with stench and no one came out of the house.

Old Mrs. Yu was so angry that she fainted several times.

The younger generations also complained.

If it weren't for the favoritism and indulgence of my grandparents towards my aunt, the Yu family wouldn't be in the predicament it is in today.

Now, they can't even hold their heads up in front of their friends.

At the same time, the Censorate also submitted memorials to impeach Yu Xiang.

The image that Yu Xiang had painstakingly built up over the years completely collapsed, and people from all walks of life criticized him.

The emperor even sent someone to invite the general to the main hall, and then he severely reprimanded him in front of all the civil and military officials.

Yu Xiang was a veteran who had served through two dynasties. When the previous emperor was alive, he was treated with special courtesy and favors. In addition, he had outstanding political achievements and always had a good reputation. He was also quite prestigious among the people. Unexpectedly, he lost his integrity in his later years when he was old.

Faced with the emperor's merciless reprimand, Yu Xiang's face turned pale and red, and he felt completely humiliated.

In the end, he resigned to avoid this vortex.

As soon as he made the request, the emperor did not hesitate at all, saying that he was old and should return home to enjoy his old age, and then approved it. When Yu Xiang came out of the palace, he seemed to be about to collapse, his face was full of fatigue, and his steps were unsteady.

When he was about to get on the carriage with the help of his servants, Qin Moyuan caught up with him and stopped him.

Facing his former son-in-law again, Yu Xiang felt very complicated.

He couldn't help but wonder, if he hadn't helped his eldest daughter design the scam, would this happen?
He suddenly believed that there really was such a thing as retribution in this world.

Qin Moyuan naturally noticed the other party's complex emotions, and didn't want to pay attention to them, because in his heart, they were no different from enemies, and not killing them all was his greatest kindness.

He got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Yu, I want to know where Fei'er's grave is?"

Yu Xiang was stunned for a moment, feeling very unhappy.

As soon as he resigned, the other party immediately changed the way he addressed him.

Hearing the other party's distant tone, Yu Xiang smiled bitterly, "Mo Yuan, Feng'er is already dead, can't the past grudges be written off?"

Qin Moyuan's face turned even colder when he heard this, and his eyes were full of sarcasm. "I remember Mr. Yu's name was Xiu De, right?"

Yu Xiang didn't understand why he asked this question and was a little displeased, but still nodded.

"Old Yu really doesn't deserve this name!" Qin Moyuan said coldly, "Yu Feng'er's death was her own fault. She can't blame anyone else, but Fei'er died in vain. If it weren't for Yu Feng'er, Fei'er would still be alive and well. All of you owe her. How can you say that it's all forgiven? All your cruelty to her can never be forgiven, even if you die!"

Yu Xiu De's body shook, his old face turned pale, and the fingers in his sleeves couldn't help but tremble.

After a long silence, he sighed heavily and spoke with difficulty: "There is a ruin near Qingzhu Garden. That is where Fei'er lived before she died." He paused, his face heavy, "Fei'er had a difficult delivery and died after giving birth. That night, a servant in the other courtyard accidentally knocked over a candlestick, causing a fire in the other courtyard. We didn't have time to bury Fei'er's body, and she was burned in the fire."

Qin Moyuan flew into a rage upon hearing this, and grabbed his collar, "Yu Xiude, you are unworthy of being a father!"

Yu Xiu De closed his eyes.

He really felt guilty about Fei'er's matter.

Qin Moyuan's heart was filled with murderous intent, and he really wanted to kill the old man in front of him.

He thought that they would at least build a tomb for Fei'er, but unexpectedly, they didn't.

He suppressed the murderous intent that was steaming within him, threw Yu Xiu De to the ground, then mounted his horse and galloped out of the city.

No wonder he sent people to check the Yu family cemetery, but couldn't find Fei'er's grave.

It turned out that Fei'er had been burned to death in the fire a long time ago, and the Yu family didn't even build a cenotaph for her.

The Yu family is so cruel!
Qin Moyuan was furious.

After speeding all the way, we finally arrived near Qingzhu Garden.

He found the ruins easily.

Qingzhu Garden is very close to the capital, so he had actually passed by this ruin before, but he never knew that the girl he owed once lived here.

Looking at the broken walls and overgrown ruins before him, Qin Moyuan suddenly felt sad.

That girl used to live here.

Although it was so close to the capital, she had never entered the city once. She spent her short life in this villa. The only time she ran out, she met him and experienced such an unbearable thing.

Qin Moyuan closed his eyes.

Guilt and self-blame seemed to consume him.

He stood there, letting the biting cold wind blow across his face.

After a long time, he opened his sore eyes and walked through the ruins step by step.

Every part of the ruins shows signs of being burned by a fire, indicating that a big fire did break out here that year.

Finally, he took off his cloak, then took a handful of soil from the ruins, carefully wrapped it in his cloak, and left with it.

……

Qiao Jingjing's injuries have not yet healed, and she has been bedridden for the past few days, but she has heard about what happened outside.

Of course, she would know, because Lu Shuangshuang told her.

Lu Shuangshuang was afraid that she would be bored staying in the house, so she came to her room every day to keep her company and told her all the news she heard from the outside world.

It was also from Lu Shuangshuang that Qiao Jingjing learned that Yu Xiang had resigned, and she was very surprised about this.

She thought Prime Minister Yu would not be willing to resign.

However, the current situation is not favorable to him, and he has no choice but to give up.

But who spread the secret that the Yu family had kept so carefully? And let everyone know about it.

Is it Duke Qin, or Qin Xuan? Or Lu Xingzhi?
