Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.
Chapter 18 I know who killed my second uncle.
"It's a bit stuffy inside, let's go for a walk," said the Dowager Lady of Zhenguo in a cheerful tone.
Looking at her strong and dignified mother, and thinking of the ending her daughter had described in her dream, Shangguan Tang couldn't help but feel her eyes redden and tears silently streamed down her face.
"mother!"
Shangguan Tang couldn't hold back and hugged the old lady, bursting into tears.
The old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's family frowned slightly, "Has the Marquis's mansion bullied you?"
The daughter is not weak; even if her father and brothers were in trouble, she shouldn't be crying so heartbrokenly.
"Fu'er, has your mother been bullied?" Second Aunt Yuan stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
Ying Yufu looked at her second aunt, who exuded a gentle and refined aura. At this moment, her face was somewhat pale and haggard, presumably because she was worried about her second uncle's imprisonment.
Thinking of her tragic end in the dream, Ying Yufu felt a lump in her throat.
"I was indeed bullied," Ying Yufu said.
Madam Yuan's expression immediately hardened. "This is outrageous! Do you think we're easy to bully just because our Duke of Zhenguo's mansion has recently encountered trouble?"
"Second Aunt, please don't get angry. You're pregnant with your younger brother and sister now, so don't hurt yourself," Ying Yufu said.
"How did you know it was a brother and a sister?" Yuan subconsciously touched her belly. The doctor said it was twins.
Ying Yufu's eyes were clear and bright: "Second Aunt, that is, my younger brother and sister, they are twins."
My second aunt is currently about three months pregnant. In her dream, she was maliciously assaulted. At that time, she was already more than six months pregnant, and her belly was much larger than that of a typical pregnant woman.
Those wicked people deliberately tortured her to death in such a disgusting way as assault, resulting in the deaths of three lives, and the blood stained half the room.
Thinking of this, Ying Yufu's grip on her second aunt's hand tightened slightly.
Yuan didn't notice, but because of her words, a deep tenderness appeared in her eyes.
"Alright, then Second Aunt will believe Fu'er," said Madam Yuan.
Yuan then looked at Ying Yutan beside her, "It seems that Tan'er has grown a little taller since I last saw her a few months ago."
Ying Yutan smiled shyly and called out softly, "Second Aunt."
Madam Yuan's expression softened immediately. She stepped forward and took Ying Yuye's little hand, saying, "Tan'er is such a good girl."
This child is so pitiful.
She was in poor health from a young age, and the doctor said she would have a hard time growing up. It was a hardship for her.
But the one who suffers even more is probably the sister-in-law.
She couldn't help but look at Shangguan Tang.
At this moment, Shangguan Tang had stopped crying and was helping the old lady look over.
The younger sister-in-law has three children: Zhuo Xiu suffers from mental illness, Tan'er is born weak and may not live to adulthood, and only Fu'er is relatively normal.
With the eldest son's two favored children in the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, the younger sister-in-law's situation was truly heartbreaking.
"Don't stay at the door, let's all go inside and talk."
The old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo glanced at everyone, her gaze settling on her two granddaughters, Ying Yufu and Ying Yutan.
She first looked at Ying Yufu with affection, then reached out and beckoned to Ying Yutan.
"Tan'er, come to your grandmother's side."
Ying Yutan immediately walked over and reached out her little hand to hold her grandmother's warm hand.
The old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo had a warm smile on her face as the whole family went inside.
The family arrived in the lobby and took their seats, and the old lady's loving smile slowly faded.
She looked sternly at Shangguan Tang and asked, "Tang'er, tell me, what happened?"
The fact that you cried so bitterly earlier means something serious must have happened.
Shangguan Tang didn't know what to say for a moment, so she looked at Ying Yufu.
Seeing Shang Tang looking at Ying Yufu, the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo also looked over.
She glared at Shangguan Tang. "I'm asking you, why are you looking at Fu'er? We, the people of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, are not afraid of trouble even if the sky falls. Let's get straight to the point."
Ying Yufu immediately stepped forward and said, "Grandmother, I'm the one who should speak on this matter."
"Alright, then let Fu'er speak." The old lady readily agreed, and then dismissed all the irrelevant people in the room.
Ying Yufu said, "Grandmother, I know who killed my second uncle."
These words shocked not only the old lady and the others, but also Shangguan Tang.
Previously, Fu'er only told her about the future fate of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, but did not say who killed her second brother.
Everyone's expression turned serious, and they stared intently at Ying Yufu.
Ying Yufu said, "The local officials of Yuzhou colluded with Duan Yuqing, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to frame my second uncle."
The local official from Yuzhou spoke rather vaguely, without naming names, but the second aunt's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
Second cousin Shangguan Hong also clenched his fists.
My second maternal aunt's family was from Yuzhou, and her father was the prefect of Yuzhou.
The old lady ignored her second aunt and instead said, "Duan Yuqing, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is the Second Prince's maternal uncle, the current Empress's younger brother, and also the future in-law of our Duke of Zhenguo's family."
Duan Yuqing's daughter was engaged to Shangguan Hong three years ago.
Ying Yufu nodded and said, "Yes, Grandmother, but so what?"
The Second Prince told me the day before yesterday that something had happened at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and I shouldn't be too conspicuous. Therefore, the position of the Second Prince's principal wife will be held by Ying Hengzhi, and I will remain as a secondary wife.
"Outrageous!" The old lady slammed her hand on the table, her anger rising.
Her eyes sharpened as she stared at Ying Yufu. "Fu'er, you agreed?"
Ying Yufu smiled and said, "Grandmother, if I had agreed, I wouldn't be standing here right now."
"Good! Good! That's the kind of good child our Duke Zhenguo's mansion should have."
"In our Zhenguo Mansion, men do not take concubines, and women do not become concubines. Fu'er, the Second Prince wants you to be his concubine, but even though he is a prince, our Zhenguo Mansion will not allow it."
The old lady's eyes flashed like lightning.
After saying that, she said in a deep voice, "Fu'er, as for what you said about Duan Yuqing colluding with the people of Yuzhou to frame your second uncle, do you have any evidence?"
"There is evidence," Ying Yufu said.
The old lady's eyes were sharp. "Fu'er, this matter is of utmost importance and should not be taken lightly."
Ying Yufu said, "The letters between my second uncle and the bandits of Qinghuang Mountain in Yuzhou who colluded to embezzle disaster relief funds were all written by Shen Shanqian, my second uncle's close attendant. Shen Shanqian has been by my second uncle's side for many years and grew up with him. He is very good at imitating my second uncle's handwriting."
As for the bandits of Qinghuang Mountain, they were all from the Yuan family, and the Yuan family had long since submitted to the Duan family.
As for the evidence, it's the missing one million taels of silver. I know where that one million taels of silver is.
"What!" The old lady was shocked.
"Fu'er, how do you know all this?" the old lady asked.
Ying Yufu had no intention of hiding it from them; she asked directly, "Grandmother, do you know what the future holds for the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion?"
The old lady gripped the corner of the table tightly with her hand, her eyes fixed intently on Ying Yufu.
"Fu'er, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Ying Yufu said, "I had a miraculous encounter, but I cannot tell anyone what it was. However, I foresaw the future fate of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Grandmother, Second Aunt, Second Cousin, do you dare to listen?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Fu'er, just tell me." Shangguan Hong spoke first.
