Chapter 167 The coffin must be empty!
Ren Zhihai knelt on the ground, sweating profusely from the pain: "I really don't know what you two want!"
Seeing that he was still insisting, Ye Xuan Ke was about to beat him up, but was stopped by Ye Xuan Qi, who stuffed a pill into his mouth and forced him to swallow it: "Let's see how long Master Ren can hold on!"
Ren Zhihai fell to the ground groaning in pain. Ye Xuanqi had no mercy at all. He gave Ye Xuanke a look, and the two brothers left calmly as if they were in an empty place.
However, the two of them did not leave the Minister's Mansion, but turned around and went to the courtyard of Ren Yanzhou, the eldest grandson of the Ren family.
"My Lord, what's going on?"
Ren Yanzhou, who was waiting anxiously, saw Ye Xuanqi and the others come in, and he stepped forward eagerly to ask.
Ye Xuanqi did not answer, but Ye Xuanke, who was following behind him, could not help but complain: "Fourth brother, why don't you force him to take out the things?"
Then he looked at Ren Yanzhou: "These are the clues that Yanzhou has been searching for two years to find!"
No one knew that Ren Yanzhou, the most promising and promising eldest grandson of the Ren family, was actually Ye Xuanke's man.
Hearing Ye Xuanke ask this, Ren Yanzhou was also a little surprised: "Didn't the prince get it?"
But he was not as excited as Ye Xuan Ke. After all, he chose to follow Ye Xuan Qi because of his admiration and trust in him. So he believed that no matter what choice Ye Xuan Qi made, he must have his own reasons.
"Given Ren Zhihai's character, even if we use some tricks, we can only get a portion from him."
Ye Xuanqi said indifferently: "Why not let him hand it over voluntarily."
Hand it over voluntarily? !
Ye Xuan Ke felt that his fourth brother was talking nonsense.
Back then, Shen Qiaoping recruited Ren Zhihai for his own use because of the fact that he had a mistress and swapped his two daughters. In order to prevent himself from being abandoned, Ren Zhihai hid a lot of evidence of Shen Qiaoping's crimes.
The two of them have always been threatening each other, and the only reason they have been able to live in peace is because there has been no external crisis.
If we create some crisis for them, will these two people with ulterior motives still trust each other?
Song Yunxi could see the problem clearly, but Lao Wu couldn't. Just as Song Yunxi said, he always left his brain at home when he went out.
"What crisis is the prince talking about...?"
Although Ren Yanzhou understood his intention, he didn't know where the crisis came from.
Ye Xuanqi looked at him, and after a moment of silence, he gave him a warning in advance: "Your aunt...can't come back."
Ren Yanzhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "As expected!"
He could guess a little from the resentful look his cousin Ying gave her grandfather.
"Poor grandmother, it's hard to see a young person die."
Madam Ren has been able to keep the Yuan family's property firmly in her hands for decades, which shows that her character and means are extraordinary. I'm afraid that Ren Zhihai and his old cousin will not have an easy time.
Ren Yanzhou didn't ask much, but he already knew that the "woman" who dressed as his aunt and cousin Ying were both sent by the prince.
I even understand that even if Master Huicheng is not the prince's man, he probably has some kind of relationship with the prince.
But none of this mattered to him.
He had known for a long time that his grandfather was Shen Qiaoping's man, and he never believed that the Sixth Prince could ascend to that position, so in order to protect all the people in the Ren family, he had to clear his grandfather out of the Ren family.
So he had actually been waiting for this day for a long time.
It's not that he is cold-blooded or heartless, nor that he doesn't care about family affection. He just knows too well how ruthless his grandfather can be for his own selfish interests.
He couldn't let his entire family become pawns that could be discarded by his grandfather at any time, so he took action in advance.
Old Madam Ren really didn't expect that Master Huicheng's prediction would come true.
Her daughter, who had lived a miserable life, was finally found in Du Qing's mansion, but she had already been tortured to death by Du Qing and his wife. She died after just calling her "mother".
The poor granddaughter kept holding her mother's body and not letting anyone get close. Fortunately, she was willing to trust her brother Iwafune, and the two siblings handled her mother's funeral together.
Deep in a deserted mountain, Ren Yanzhou asked Du Xiaoying: "The coffin is empty, right?"
The one who "died" was the person who pretended to be my aunt.
Du Xiaoying cried in front of a small mound of earth: "My mother is buried here."
Ren Yanzhou could not imagine how much suffering the mother and daughter had gone through. He could not say any words of comfort to her, so he could only say, "I will order someone to carve a tombstone for my aunt and renovate her grave."
Du Xiaoying wiped her tears and said fiercely: "I will kill them with my own hands!"
It goes without saying who they are.
The daughter killed her father and stepmother. People would not care what Du Qing and his wife did, and would think that the death of a concubine was insignificant. Even a drop of spit would drown Du Xiaoying, but Song Yunxi took her to the Ministry of Justice prison.
Du Xiaoying showed no mercy to her biological father and stepmother who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"How did you treat my mother in the past? You may have forgotten, but I haven't!"
Du Xiaoying stabbed them mercilessly with the sharp dagger in her hand, but because Song Yunxi had fed them a mute drug in advance, they couldn't even cry out in pain.
This couple will never know until their death that Aunt Ding was indeed beaten to death by them and thrown into a mass grave, and the person who appeared in their house was just Wang Yuan in disguise.
Coming out of the Ministry of Justice, Du Xiaoying, covered in blood, knelt on the ground and cried, "Mother, I have avenged you!"
After that, she bowed to Song Yunxi again: "Miss, for saving my life and giving me a new life, Xiaoying will repay you by working like a slave for me in this life!"
"You don't have to work like a slave."
Song Yunxi helped her up: "Living a good life in the future will be the best reward for me."
"Yes, I will live well!"
Not only do you have to live a good life yourself, but you also have to help the girls in the girls' home live a good life!
Ren Zhihai's heart finally died the moment the old lady threw the divorce papers to him.
"Yuan, you want to divorce at your age. Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughing stock in the capital? I want you to be shameless!"
They were both over 50 years old, and it was unheard of for them to get divorced at this age? Wouldn't it be a huge joke if the news got out?
The old lady sneered: "You are so old and still keep a mistress. You even killed your own daughter for her. How can you be so shameless and cold-blooded as to have any shame?"
Thinking about how he didn't even dare to go out these days, and that all the property in the mansion was in Yuan's hands, Ren Zhihai's attitude softened immediately: "Madam, if you don't consider yourself, you have to consider our children and grandchildren. If we divorce at our age, how can they serve as officials in the court in the future? How can they talk about marriage?"
He originally thought that threatening her with the future of his children and grandchildren would at least make her change her mind, but unexpectedly the old lady's attitude became even more resolute: "It is for the sake of my children and grandchildren that I cannot let them be dragged down by such a shameless father and grandfather like you!"
