Chapter 139 Breaking the other leg
Lu Yaozong smashed the driver to death, then exchanged Lu Zhiping's clothes with the driver. He then pushed his brother off the cliff with a complicated and resentful mood, and only felt relieved after making sure that the bottom of the cliff was unfathomable and there was no way of survival.
Before leaving, he came back and smashed the driver's face, found a piece of charcoal ash and dotted a mole on his neck, then pretended to be scared and went back to report the case, saying that he had met bandits. He also kept telling everyone that the person who was smashed was definitely Lu Zhiping.
Because Zhaoyang was about to give birth, she didn't dare let her see the broken face of the corpse, and only identified the identity based on the mole on the neck.
After Lu Yaozong told Liu the truth, Liu scolded him for being stupid!
If Lu Zhiping were still alive, Zhaoyang would have stayed in the Lu Mansion, and the dowry would have been left here. Now that he is dead, Zhaoyang has no attachment to the people in the mansion, so how could she be willing to stay here and be reminded of the past? At that time, the dowry would naturally be taken away.
In order to keep the dowry, Liu took advantage of the time when Zhaoyang went to Shangqing Temple for a quiet time, found the men from her natal family, broke into Lu's mansion at night, disguised as murderers and arsonists, and robbed half of Zhaoyang's dowry!
There was no way Liu would reveal the fact of dowry robbery, so she only told everyone the truth about Lu Zhiping's death.
The room was dead silent.
Zhaoyang's face was pale, his hands on the armrest were trembling slightly, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"You are so brave."
It was not a harsh roar, but a calm murmur.
She had been a widow for many years, and the noble ladies in the capital all laughed at her for being brainless. As a member of the royal family, was she also trapped by these rules and regulations?
Only Zhaoyang knew the answer clearly.
The boy who was the best to me will never come back.
She couldn't let it go.
Liu knelt on the ground, her legs weak, afraid that Zhaoyang would punish her, so she begged for mercy: "Princess, I have been worried for so many years. The year after his death, I sent people to find his body at the bottom of the cliff, buried him properly and erected a tombstone. As long as you promise not to pursue this matter, I will tell you the location of the tomb."
Nanny Tang kicked him angrily: "You old thing, you still want to negotiate terms? I'll kick you to death!"
Liu fell to the ground, holding her stomach and screaming.
How could her old bones withstand such a fierce kick?
"I promise you." Zhaoyang sighed.
Liu was afraid that she would regret it, so she stood up immediately without paying attention to the pain and answered, "There is a Bugui Mountain outside the capital. There is a small village near the southwest. Zhiping was buried in the village."
Zhaoyang's eyelashes trembled, and he immediately sent people to look for her.
Su He walked up to Liu, his eyes stern, and ordered: "Tie her up and send her to the government office."
"The princess clearly said she would not pursue the matter!"
Liu suddenly screamed.
Su He lightly raised his foot and stepped on the back of her hand, saying in a cold voice, "My husband has been ostracized and ridiculed since he was a child because he has no father. My mother did not pursue the matter, so I will do it for him. Old lady, your life is over."
"no, do not want!"
Liu didn't expect Su He to be so unreasonable and so arrogant in front of the eldest princess.
Her grandchild has not been found yet!
She hasn't had time to spend the money she hid!
She doesn't want to die!
"let me go!"
Liu struggled hard and escaped from the hands of the servants. When she stepped out of the room, she unfortunately slipped and fell on the steps.
There was a sound of bones cracking and Liu fainted.
Qingyun went forward to check and found that she had a broken leg.
Su He said coldly: "Since she likes to run, break her other leg and throw her to the government office!"
"Yes!"
Nanny Tang felt very happy to see that Liu got her retribution so soon. She spat at her broken leg and spoke up for the princess.
The noisy room finally quieted down.
Seeing Zhaoyang looking pale and as if lost, Su He asked Nanny Tang to help her go back and rest.
After no one was around, Su He took out the letter from Chen's death from the cabinet. It only said that Lu Zhiping's death was related to the Lu family, but did not say who the murderer was. She had been in the Lu Mansion for a long time, and she could tell who was the wolf at first glance.
Now that the truth has come to light, Liu's death is not a pity.
Midnight.
News came from outside that Master Lu’s grave had been found.
Su He immediately got up from bed and went to see Zhao Yang, but heard her sobbing outside the palace. When she walked into the palace, she found that she had never rested and her eyes were red from crying.
Seeing someone coming, Zhaoyang wiped away his tears, and Nanny Tang, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but have red eyes.
"Don't worry, mother. Qingyun has already gone to the Bugui Mountain. He will definitely move father's tomb back intact."
With him doing the work, everyone feels at ease.
When Zhaoyang heard the word "father", he felt indescribable sadness in his heart.
If Huaihe knew this, would he be happy?
"Mother, when father comes back, bury him again in Shangqing Temple."
The sound of Buddha is peaceful.
It's a good place for burial.
Zhaoyang held back his grief and agreed: "I am old and useless now, so I will leave everything to you from now on."
Su He and Nanny Tang both knew that she was heartbroken and didn't want to worry about these mundane matters anymore.
"Mother, please accept my condolences."
Zhaoyang burst into tears.
On the second day, the news that Princess Zhaoyang had found her late husband's body spread throughout the capital.
When they searched the Lu Mansion, they also found a cellar under the Weirui Pavilion, which was full of dusty gold, silver and jewelry. After being identified by Nanny Tang, it was confirmed to be the dowry that the eldest princess had lost.
There were rumors that robbers set fire and robbed the princess, taking away half of her dowry. However, no trace of the incident was found and the case was left unresolved.
I just don’t know how the lost dowry appeared in the basement of Lu’s mansion?
In jail.
Mother Yang brought the news of the investigation of Lu Mansion to Liu.
At this moment, she was crawling on the ground with her legs hanging down. She was unconscious and unable to exert any strength.
Upon hearing that all her money was gone, Liu collapsed. She pounded the ground with her fists and her heart was bleeding.
"Did Su He lead people to investigate Wei Rui Pavilion?"
"Yes...it's Qingyun who is beside her." Mrs. Yang lowered her head.
"My money, my money!!"
Liu cried loudly at the prison door, and it was unclear whether she was angry about being imprisoned here at her old age, or about the money she had hidden for half her life being put to no use.
Mrs. Yang took out a contract of sale from her sleeve.
He held it in his hand and showed it to Liu.
"Old Madam, I have served you for half my life, and now I am finally free."
Liu looked back in surprise, not understanding what this meant.
Mother Yang took out a fire starter and lit it. The small flame slowly burned the indenture contract clean.
"Before I wanted to leave, you locked up the indenture and wouldn't let me go. Now I didn't expect that I would find it myself. Old Madam, I have served you well, so I won't add insult to injury. Don't worry, after you die, I will give you a lavish burial."
