Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue!

Emperor Cangxuan's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Shangguan Tang, do you know what you're saying?"

He was extremely serious, and even addressed Shangguan Tang by his full name.

Shangguan Tang's expression was resolute, and she declared firmly, "Your Majesty, I say that the person in the coffin is not the old Marquis of Weiyuan, Ying Huanchong!"

hiss!

Everyone present gasped.

"Has Shangguan Tang gone mad?"

"What on earth is she talking about? How could the person in the coffin not be Ying Huanchong?"

"That's right, if it's not Ying Huanchong, then who is it? And where did Ying Huanchong go?"

The crowd discussed it, shaking their heads in disbelief.

Even Ying Yufu and the others looked astonished.

They never expected their mother to suddenly utter such shocking words.

However, Ying Yufu believed that her mother would not speak without reason, and that there must be a basis for her words.

"Shangguan Tang, how could you slander my Weiyuan Marquisate like this? I know you hate us, but how dare you speak such nonsense before His Majesty? Do you dare to be so unscrupulous, relying on His Majesty's favor?"

Old Lady Liu was furious.

A hint of panic flashed in Ying Nanyao's eyes.

Even when that servant, Jie Laowei, colluded with bandits, he had never been so flustered.

But at this moment, the color drained from Ying Nanyao's face.

"Shangguan Tang, I personally buried my father in this coffin back then, how could that be false? Don't spout nonsense!"

As he spoke, he stared intently at Shangguan Tang, his eyes faintly bloodshot.

His hands, which were resting on his lap, were clenched into fists.

Emperor Cangxuan also said, "Shangguan Tang, this matter is no child's play. Do you have any evidence?"

Ying Nanyao stared intently at Shangguan Tang, his fists trembling slightly.

Everyone else was looking at Shangguan Tang, and the atmosphere was completely silent.

Shangguan Tang said, "Your Majesty, the corpse in the coffin has six fingers on its right hand, but the old Marquis of Weiyuan, Ying Huanchong, does not have six fingers."

I believe that after a person dies, a sixth finger will never magically grow from one hand.

The crowd erupted in uproar. Of course, a dead person wouldn't grow a sixth finger.

If a corpse can grow six fingers after death, it is not a corpse, but a monster.

At that moment, many people looked into the coffin.

After a closer look, everyone gasped in shock.

"It really is six fingers!"

For a moment, Ying Nanyao was dumbfounded.

Old Madam Liu, however, stared wide-eyed and shrieked, "Impossible! I personally witnessed the old Marquis's encoffining back then, how could the person in this coffin not be the old Marquis?"

As she spoke, she quickly ran to the edge of the grave and looked down. Even though her eyesight was failing, she was able to see clearly that the corpse's right hand indeed had six fingers.

"Ah!" Old Liu exclaimed in surprise, her face pale as she collapsed to the ground.

"Impossible, impossible! Someone must have switched the remains in the coffin! Yes, that must be it!"

Ying Nanyao was jolted awake and immediately said, "Your Majesty, the murderer not only desecrated my father's grave, but also stole his remains and replaced them with this fake one. I beg Your Majesty to do justice for me!"

"However, in my experience, the remains in this coffin have not been disturbed."

Moreover, this corpse, after eighteen years, would crumble at the slightest touch, yet the remains in this coffin are perfectly intact, unlike those recently placed there.

An elderly minister stepped forward and spoke.

Ying Nanyao gave the speaker a terrifying look.

Seeing this, the elderly minister asked sincerely, "Lord Weiyuan, why don't you think carefully about whether a mistake was made back then?"

"How could that be! I personally witnessed my father being placed in the coffin and buried. How could I be wrong?"

"That's strange!"

Shangguan Tang then said, "Your Majesty, the second-in-command of the bandits from Jade Plate Mountain who abducted my wife back then was Six Fingers."

I am not sure if the person in the coffin is the second-in-command of the bandits, but when the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion wiped out the bandits of Yupan Mountain, there was indeed one person missing during the headcount.

The one who was short was the second-in-command of Jade Plate Mountain.

My father also tried to find out where the second-in-command had fled, but to no avail.

"Shangguan Tang, don't talk nonsense. These are all guesses. How could the person in the coffin be the second-in-command of that bandit!" Ying Nanyao said sternly.

Shangguan Tang glanced at him and said, "Why is Marquis Weiyuan so agitated? I was only speculating, not certain that the person in the coffin is the second-in-command of the bandits."

Emperor Cangxuan walked to the edge of the grave and looked down. After a moment, he said calmly, "The corpse in this coffin not only has six fingers on its hands, but is also less than seven feet tall. I remember that Ying Huanchong was more than seven feet tall."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at it again and nodded in agreement.

"Sure enough, the corpse in the coffin was less than seven feet tall."

Just as everyone was discussing, a loud laugh suddenly rang out, attracting everyone's attention.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Suddenly, Xuanjing, who was being held captive by Wushuang, burst into laughter.

Emperor Cangxuan looked over and heard Xuanjing say, "You guessed right, the person in this coffin is indeed not Ying Huanchong, and Ying Huanchong is not dead at all!"

These words once again caused a huge stir.

Now, not only the others, but even Old Lady Liu stared wide-eyed.

"You lecherous monk, what nonsense are you spouting? I personally witnessed the old Marquis breathe his last!"

Old Liu's face turned red with anger.

Xuan Jing gave her a malicious look and said mockingly, "Madam, you probably don't know, but Ying Huanchong has more than one wife. He also has another family in the Southern Barbarian Lands!"

"Absurd, utterly absurd!"

Old Liu was so angry that she trembled all over.

Ying Nanyao also looked incredulous. "Impossible!"

Xuanjing looked at him and said mockingly, "Impossible what? Ying Huanchong couldn't possibly be alive, or he couldn't possibly have a wife outside?"

He seemed to see through Ying Nanyao's thoughts and said with a smile, "Don't worry, although Ying Huanchong has a legal wife and other families outside, he has no children."

Because I placed a curse on him that would prevent him from having any children other than you.

For a moment, Ying Nanyao didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief or feel despair.

Emperor Cangxuan then spoke, coldly asking, "Have you met Ying Huanchong?"

A deep hatred suddenly surfaced in Xuanjing's eyes.

"Yes, of course I've seen him. Not only have I seen him, I've also witnessed him insult my wife and daughters, kill my clansmen, and seize my family's property!"

"If I hadn't used the 'Feign Death Gu' to escape this calamity, how could I, Xuan Jing, be standing here?"

Ying Nanyao said, "Impossible! Xuanjing, you are a few years younger than me. Eighteen years ago, you probably didn't even have a wife yet. How could Father have insulted your wife and daughter?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Xuan Jing laughed loudly, "Who said I'm younger than you? I'm actually two years older than Ying Huanchong!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
