Chapter 368 The Butler's Trump Card

Lu Yaoyao smiled, stood up and looked at the butler, who used to work for her father.

Now she's betrayed her father and become Jiang Wanlin's lackey, hasn't she?
"Butler, you know quite a bit about Jiang Wanlin, don't you?" Some things need to be done by someone, and this butler is the right person.

The butler knows all of Jiang Wanlin's secrets; he is a witness, an irrefutable witness.

The steward trembled with fear and knelt on the ground, kowtowing, "Princess, spare me! There are some things I didn't want to do! I simply had no choice!"

Lu Yaoyao ignored his pleas, her voice icy and chilling, "Why is Jiang Wanlin so determined to kill my father? You should know the reason, shouldn't you?"

She guessed that there were only a few possibilities: family feuds, or brothers forming a wall.

Another reason is that brothers turned against each other because of women.

What is Jiang Wanlin's situation?
The butler was so frightened that he knelt down and stammered out what had happened.

Jiang Beichen and Jiang Wanlin were brothers born of the same parents. Because Jiang Beichen was exceptionally talented in literature and martial arts from a young age, he was doted on by their father.

His mother also paid extra attention to Jiang Beichen because he was so promising.

Whenever something good happens, they always think of Jiang Beichen more.

Jiang Wanlin was stupid and dull-witted from a young age, and was often lectured by his father and mother. From then on, a thorn was planted in his heart.

As a result, later on, he would get caught up in trivial matters when provoked by someone with ulterior motives, and he would never think before he acted.

However, she always resorted to vicious schemes when it came to Jiang Beichen's affairs.

Jiang Wanlin was a born bad seed from childhood.

He hated his brother for taking away all of their parents' love, and he hated him even more for taking away his fiancée.

Even though the girl was his childhood sweetheart and they grew up together, she was only in love with her brother.

The woman was thinking of breaking off her engagement with him and marrying his older brother, so in a fit of rage he took her to the woods and tortured her to death.

I heard that the woman died a particularly gruesome death.

Even now, no one knows that he personally tortured and killed that woman.

Later, when his father was besieged on the border by enemy forces, Jiang Beichen went to the battlefield. Two years later, Jiang Wanlin colluded with a general from Xuanwu Kingdom to murder Jiang Beichen.

Jiang Beichen died protecting his country, and the former emperor was devastated, lamenting that even the heavens were jealous of such a talented man.

"Princess, what happened next was when Madam carried you back to the Duke's mansion. I'm sure you know what happened after that." The steward slumped to the ground.

Lu Yaoyao remained completely unmoved after hearing this; she had already guessed that this would be the outcome.

"Butler, I'm sure Jiang Wanlin still has quite a few letters hidden with you, right? Bring them to me."

Lu Yaoyao knew that the butler was a very careful and meticulous person who would definitely leave himself a way out.

This butler has done so many heinous things for Jiang Wanlin, there's no way he wouldn't leave himself a way out.

The butler was already discouraged. "I hid all those things under a tree in the yard."

Lu Yaoyao waved, and Xia Rong quickly left the room.

"Butler, you have done a good job in reporting this, and I will protect your family's lives."

This was her promise to the housekeeper.

The butler has done so many heinous things that he absolutely cannot live. Only if his family is spared will the butler be willing to become a witness.

Knowing his sins were the most unforgivable, the steward kowtowed, "Thank you, Princess!"

Xia Rong returned quickly, carrying a box.

The box was opened, revealing a series of yellowed letters, some correspondence with the Xuanwu Kingdom, and others with the King of Qi plotting a rebellion.

The steward looked at the letters and said, “Princess, these letters were all ordered by the Duke to be destroyed. I secretly kept these evidence to ensure my own safety, in case the Duke turns against me one day. Now I’m handing them all over to you, Princess.”

The butler knelt down and kowtowed, and the feeling of tightness in his chest seemed to disappear instantly. It was as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then you can go now! You'll still be serving Jiang Wanlin these next few days. Don't even think about running away; you can't escape." Lu Yaoyao waved for him to leave.

"Yes! This servant will certainly not run away."

The butler's back slumped, and he left looking utterly defeated.

Xia Rong disagreed, "Princess, what if he really runs away?"

This is a key witness.

Lu Yaoyao smiled, recalling the mark the flower fairy had left on the butler. "He can't leave. He doesn't have that ability. Don't worry!"

"Take this box to Su Zui and tell him that it's time to reel in that big fish, the King of Qi."

These days, Su Zui has been searching for evidence of Qi Wang's crimes, and she is looking for evidence of Jiang Wanlin's crimes.

The evidence has finally been gathered!
"Yes." Xia Rong took the box and left.

Lu Yaoyao lay languidly on the soft couch, a gentle breeze blowing in from the window, as if caressing her cheek.

The beautiful ghost floated in at this moment and plopped down opposite Lu Yaoyao. "Ancestor, those two are really useless. They were foaming at the mouth after just one night. How boring!"

Lu Yaoyao then opened her eyes. "Foaming at the mouth? Did you do something to them?"

The alluring ghost is specifically designed to seduce and possess souls. Regardless of whether the alluring ghost is male or female, it will cause the person to die from exhaustion.

Even though Madam Jiang had changed into the face of the demon, and even if she wanted to absorb Jiang Wanlin's life essence, she wouldn't think of killing him all at once.

It will only slowly drain him dry.

The ghost's face, devoid of features, revealed no expression, yet Lu Yaoyao could sense his excitement.

"I helped that man because he was useless. And that woman was really something, not sexy enough, so I helped her too."

It was as if those two were doing something terribly wrong and he didn't care about their business, with an expression that suggested he was enjoying the show.

Lu Yaoyao's lips twitched. "I don't care how you want to play with them, just leave them alive. They'll still be useful to me."

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and his eyes flashed. "Why don't you go to Jiang Ruyan's house tonight and help her out?"

The beautiful ghost immediately floated up, "I'm going right now!"

It vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yaoyao sneered. Marquis Wu'an probably wouldn't even be interested in touching Jiang Ruyan if he saw her in that godlike state, so she would help them out.

The city of Chang'an seemed to be even more crowded in early summer. As Lu Yaoyao walked down the street, Wang Hechuan blocked her way.

Wang Hechuan looked at the drastically changed Lu Yaoyao and his breath hitched. When did Lu Yaoyao become so beautiful?
He gave a perfunctory bow and said, "Greetings, Princess. I would like to speak with you."

In front of so many people, Wang Hechuan didn't want to say too much, so he thought he'd find a place for the two of them to talk.

Lu Yaoyao didn't even glance at him and walked straight past.

Wang Hechuan was about to chase after her when the flower fairy stopped him.

"Lu Yaoyao, I'll be waiting for you at the Yuhua Pavilion, no matter how long it takes." Wang Hechuan said hurriedly, covered his face, and left.

He was afraid that someone would recognize him because he had made a loud noise.

"Pah! What nonsense!" the flower fairy spat.

Lu Yaoyao smiled and said, "Flower Fairy, go and inform Shen Yinyin and Cuihua to meet at Yuhua Pavilion!"

She won't let that scumbag Wang Hechuan get away with it.

After arriving in Chang'an, she made a special inquiry and found that Shen Yinyin and the Prime Minister had no idea that he had divorced his wife and remarried.
