After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 342 Destroying corpses and eradicating traces
Not long after Jiao Bubai and his men left, the Xue family came to visit Yang Qing and the others' families.

After a series of threats and inducements, the family members of Yang Qing and others were quickly silenced.

They all went to withdraw the case, saying they wanted to bury their daughter and let her rest in peace as soon as possible.

No matter how much the people from the Jingzhao Prefecture pleaded, they insisted that their daughter had simply died of illness.

Unfortunately, the coroner couldn't find anything out either.

Jiao Bubai wanted to seek help from Song Lan, but learned at the Liu family gatehouse that Song Lan had gone to Changsheng Temple a few days earlier and didn't know when she would return.

Several families, having benefited, stirred up trouble with great enthusiasm, and the Xue family also hired people to put pressure on the Jingzhao Prefecture.

There was nothing the Jingzhao Prefecture could do but return the bodies of those people.

Let them be buried.

It was called a burial, but it was actually a cremation!
The body was destroyed to cover up the crime... Even if the people of the Jingzhao Prefecture wanted to investigate further, they would have no chance.

The events happened so fast that each family took the bodies back and immediately set them on fire.

Even if the Jingzhao Prefecture wanted to stop them, it was too late.

"...It is clear that the so-called 'peace of mind upon burial' is nothing but an excuse!"

Jiao Bubai gritted his teeth in resentment: "But there's no reason to stop them."
-
The concept of longevity.

“Miss Song, Lord Jiao from the Jingzhao Prefecture wishes to pay you a visit.”

Pei Yuanshi walked in and spoke to Song Lan.

Song Lan had just finished eating, put down her chopsticks, and glanced at him: "I won't see you."

"But Lord Jiao said..."

Before Pei Yuanshi could finish speaking, Song Lan interrupted, "The body has already been destroyed, and even a god couldn't save it. Without crucial evidence, can the Jingzhao Prefecture really force a conviction against the Xue family?"

Her obvious disgust: "I immediately had someone send the body to their Jingzhao Prefecture."

"It's because they are useless."

"It's no use coming to me." Song Lan said calmly, "Let him go back."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuanshi naturally couldn't say anything more. He cupped his hands and said "Okay," then went out to relay the message to Jiao Bubai.

Jiao Bubai was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"The reason those people handed over the body to us for examination was because of Song Lan?"

Pei Yuanshi: "That's what Miss Song said, but I don't know the specifics. I've delivered the message, so please return, sir."

Jiao Bubai hurriedly said, "Please convey my message again, Daoist. I have many questions that I would like to ask Madam Song in person."

Just as Pei Yuanshi was about to say that Song Lan meant she wouldn't see him, Su Xianyun came out and greeted the two of them.

"Lord Jiao, please return. My benefactor will be returning soon, and a banquet will be held at his home to invite dignitaries from the capital to taste the lychees. If you have any questions, Lord Jiao, you can ask them after my benefactor returns."

Su Xianyun said in a serious tone: "My benefactor said that the matter is settled, and Lord Jiao does not need to do anything futile."

"No matter how much adults do, it's all in vain in this matter."

"Sir, please leave."

Su Xianyun emphasized "please go back" again, but Jiao Bubai was still not giving up. She said, "My benefactor also said that she doesn't want to see you. Even if she were standing right in front of you, you wouldn't be able to see her."

"It's best not to barge into the mountain gate. It would be against etiquette and rules, offend the patriarch, and only add to your karmic burden. It's not worth it, Lord Jiao."

Jiao Bubai: ...

Now that things have come to this point, Jiao Bubai naturally couldn't continue to push his way in.

He cupped his hands and said, "In that case, we will await Mrs. Song's invitation."

Even after saying that, he still felt resentful.

With Pei Yuanshi and Su Xianyun blocking his way, he had no choice but to give up, no matter how unwilling he was.

We can't just actually barge in.
