The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 252 Reversal

Lu Zhiyi acted as if she was pitiful.

Leng Qingyu could see the calculation in her eyes at a glance.

"Marquis Jing'an died in Yongning Lane for unknown reasons. This matter has long been spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital. Even if you don't know, the Zhao family's wife, concubines, and servants must know about it. Isn't there anyone who has told you a thing?"

Lu Zhiyi still looked confused. "I have been staying in the backyard with the Third Miss Zhao. She rarely goes to the front yard and has an average relationship with her other sisters, so no one told us. If mother doesn't believe it, you can send someone to the Zhao Mansion to ask the Third Miss!"

Although she said this, she was betting in her heart that Leng Qingyu would never let anyone ask.

Given Leng Qingyu's style, he would never rashly go to someone's house to ask such questions.

But Leng Qingyu said softly: "The Zhao family may not know yet, so I will ask Dongxue to go to their house to report the news and ask them at the same time."

"Mother!"

Lu Zhiyi immediately became anxious.

"what happened?"

Leng Qingyu glanced at her.

Lu Zhiyi lowered her head quickly. "Nothing, my daughter just wanted to ask, what happened to my father? He has always been in good health, how could something happen to him suddenly?

Now that our father is gone, what are we going to do in the future? "

Seeing her clever way of changing the subject, Leng Qingyu sneered, "I thought you didn't care about this. I just said that your father was gone, but you were explaining to me what you had been doing for most of the day.

Fortunately, you still remembered to ask your father, otherwise I would really suspect that you were also involved in this matter. "

Lu Zhiyi was so frightened that his legs went limp and he sat down on the ground.

"Mom, how could my daughter do such a thing? You are really wronging her!"

"No matter what, until the truth comes out, you will stay in the Marquis' Mansion and cannot go anywhere. Remember?"

Leng Qingyu said.

Lu Zhiyi lowered her head and whispered, "My daughter knows."

At this moment, she was very glad that she went to find the Third Prince as soon as possible, otherwise, there would be no room for maneuver in this matter.

After placing Lu Zhiyi under house arrest, Leng Qingyu devoted all his remaining time and energy to the Ministry of Justice.

The progress of the case will not be easily told to others, but if the money is spent, you can always find out something.

At the beginning, everything went as Leng Qingyu expected.

The Ministry of Justice regarded Ning Yuer and her son as suspects, interrogated them repeatedly, and used torture to extract confessions.

However, these two people were really spineless. They endured all kinds of punishment and refused to plead guilty.

The coroner was also unable to find out the cause of Lu Tingen's death.

All he said was that he died of excessive drinking and heart palpitations.

Things became tense for a while.

Leng Qingyu paid money and asked them to attribute Lu Tingen's death to the mother and son.

In order to give an explanation to the wife of the Marquis, the Ministry of Justice went along with it and agreed to the matter.

I had thought that it was foolproof. Even if there was no evidence of murder, Ning Yuer and her son had still caused the death by negligence.

For people like them who have no background, they would either be exiled or thrown into prison for more than a decade.

Leng Qingyu was quite satisfied with the result.

But on the day of the trial, the result occurred in a way that no one had expected.

Ning Yuer and her son changed their testimony in court, saying that the reason why Lu Tingen died of drinking was because he was bullied at home and became ill. The doctor from Shunyi Clinic also proved that Lu Tingen had indeed been in poor health for many years and was treated in their clinic.
