Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

Gui Yao glanced at Mi Po, but remained silent.

Mi Po stood not far from Shen Feiwan, looking at her with pity.

Shen Feiwan was immersed in her grief and did not notice Gui Yao's gaze. She lowered her head and tightly gripped her sleeve with her fingers.

He continued, "I saw my aunt struggling desperately amidst the raging flames, with oil poured inside and outside the coffin."

They chained the aunt inside the coffin, saying she had risen from the dead and needed to be attacked with fire.

But actually, my aunt didn't die at all; she was burned alive by them..."

A sudden night wind swept away Shen Feiwan's tears, but soon her eyes filled with tears again, covering the old marks on her jawline again and again.

"I wanted to save my aunt, but her old servant held me back and hid me."

It turned out that after my father died, my aunt had guessed that she would not have a good end, and fearing that I would act impulsively, she had the old servant stop me in advance.

And it was through this conversation between Madam Yang and her confidante that I learned that she had persuaded my father to take me away from my aunt by arguing about the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children.

Only then did she realize that she had been unfaithful before marriage and had been rejected by her father, but she blamed it on her aunt for bewitching her father's heart.

If the father truly loved his concubine, why would he despise her status as a concubine, and why would he prevent her from raising his children?

She often bullied her aunt, but pretended to be bullied by the concubines in public. She was gluttonous and lustful, and her mouth was full of false lies.

But her son was the most obedient to her, and he became her accomplice, causing the death of my aunt.

She finished speaking in one breath, then let out a heavy sigh, as if releasing all the resentment that had been building up for so long. Her chest heaved violently, as if asking Gui Yao, or perhaps herself.

"How can I not avenge my mother's death? But my sister-in-law and nephew are innocent, and I cannot bring myself to harm them."

"Silly child, your aunt's life is worthless. She should have died long ago when my parents sold me to the brothel."

Mi Po subconsciously took two steps closer, wanting to hug Shen Feiwan, but in the end she only stood a few steps away from her and cried, "Auntie, you lived longer in those years. Auntie is content."

You're still young, why waste your life for me...

Gui Yao looked at the mother and daughter, who were both weeping, and asked Shen Feiwan, "How do you plan to take revenge?"

"I cannot tell the princess."

Shen Feiwan had tears in her eyes, but her gaze was more determined than before.

"I know that there is cause and effect in this world. If the princess did not know, she would not be tainted by cause and effect."

She knelt down again, pleading, "Princess, please help me send my sister-in-law and the others away. It's not easy for me to return to the capital, and if I miss this opportunity, I may never have another chance."

Naturally, she would repay them in the same way they treated her concubine.

Gui Yao did not respond immediately. She looked at Mi Po again, and Mi Po shook her head in pain.

"But what if the Duke of Yue is also Lian Mi's child, your own brother from the same mother?"

Gui Yao reached out and pulled her up. "Are you still going to kill him?"

"How could that be?"

Shen Feiwan was shocked, and then asked, "How did you know?"

Suddenly remembering something, she turned her head and looked around. "My aunt told you she's here too, didn't she?"

Bai Yunshu's spirit lingered after her death, and so must her aunt's. July is the legendary month when spirits come from the underworld to the human world.

It must have been Auntie who looked for Gui Yao that made her appear here.

The same hope that Da Shan had shown appeared in her eyes.

"Don't tell her."

Mi Po retreated repeatedly, "Let her think that I have been reincarnated, otherwise, she might develop new obsessions and beg the princess."

She is no saint. After seeing her daughter again, she will also be reluctant to leave this world. The constant entanglement between the living and the dead is not a good thing for her daughter.

"Not here."

Gui Yao lied and continued to ask Shen Feiwan, "You still haven't told me that the Duke of Yue is also Lian Mi's child. Do you still want to seek revenge against him?"

"What if he is also a concubine's child?"

Shen Feiwan clenched her fists tightly. "He murdered his own mother, so he deserves to go to hell."

Her eyes, however, continued to search the surroundings. "Princess, is Auntie really not here?"

Gui Yao nodded slightly and changed the subject, "If what you say is true, I will help you."

"What?"

The surprise came so suddenly that Shen Feiwan thought she had misheard.

Gui Yao said, "If it is verified that the Duke of Yue and the Yang family really committed such evil deeds, I will help you take revenge."

The Duke of Yue was a loyal follower of the Duke of Zhenguo, and helping Shen Feiwan was also an opportunity for her to cut off the Duke of Zhenguo's arm.

Even if not all eight dukes and ten marquises were brought into their camp, Gui Yao would still be replaced by someone of excellent character.

Someone as brainless and blindly filial as the Duke of Yue, who was manipulated by Lady Yang, does not deserve to receive a salary from the imperial court.

Moreover, Gui Yao was quite certain that he had never been innocent in the years he had followed the Duke of Zhenguo.

Seeing that Gui Yao was not joking, Shen Feiwan immediately pointed to the sky and said, "I, Shen Feiwan, swear on my life that if I utter even the slightest lie, I will die a horrible death."

She never expected anyone to help her; she was prepared to risk her life to take revenge.

"Those who are of bad character are mostly corrupt officials. The Duke of Yue has been in the Ministry of War for many years, so we can start by investigating the Ministry of War and look into the things he has handled in the past."

Gui Yao pondered for a moment and said, "If he is guilty, he can be punished by law."

Like Zhang Er.

She had just received a letter from the secret guards of Prince Jin's mansion before she came here. Zhang Er and Bai Shi had completely fallen out, and this time they not only argued, but also fought.

Bai bit Zhang Er's ear, and Zhang Er knocked out Bai's front tooth.

Shen Ran is a clever man. He gave each of them ten lashes as a warning. Gui Yao believes that in the near future, they will experience the suffering that A Ye and her son once endured, feeling as if each day is a year and they are living a life worse than death.

"Won't this implicate my sister-in-law and nephew?"

After hearing what Gui Yao said, Shen Feiwan hesitated.

She wanted revenge, but she never intended to destroy her own family.

"If they are upright, they will not be implicated."

Conversely, they should be eliminated in one fell swoop.

Shen Feiwan quickly replied, "My nephews have been taught by their sister-in-law since they were young, and they are all good children. I have checked."

"In that case, you don't need to worry."

Whether it is as Shen Feiwan said, or whether Guiyao has disappeared, remains to be verified. Thinking of something, she smiled.

"The Duke of Yue follows the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion in everything. If you are really worried, you can have your nephew learn from Zhang Ji."

She slowly uttered a few words, "To report my own father for the greater good."

Shen Feiwan lowered her eyes, deep in thought.

Gui Yao looked at Da Shan, "Da Shan, Sister Lychee has already eaten some. Can we let her take the lychee tree back to report?"

Don't worry, at most three will be wasted; I'll get the rest back.

"This tree was given to my elder sister, so it belongs to her and she can decide what to do with it."

Da Shan turned around and hugged the tree to Shen Feiwan, "Here, for you."

Gui Yao thanked Da Shan and said to Shen Feiwan, "Take the tree back with you."

After Shen Feiwan left, Gui Yao looked at Mi Po and asked, "You refused to tell me your identity before because you were afraid I would investigate the Duke of Yue?"

Mi Po closed her eyes and nodded.

Every July, she would return to the human world to visit her daughter, but this year she found that her daughter had come to the capital.

She was worried that her daughter would seek revenge for her, and if that were the case, she, as a soul, would be powerless to stop it, which is why she sought help from Gui Yao.

Princess Baozhu, who cares deeply for the common people and hates evil, would surely take action if she knew of the despicable nature of the Duke of Yue.

"I'm sorry, I had a selfish reason. After all, he came out of my belly, and if I could, I would still hope that he could live a good life."

I'm afraid that if I reveal my identity, you'll be able to guess many things.

She gave a bitter smile. Even if she hadn't said anything, the princess had already guessed that the Duke of Yue was her son.

"Do you regret coming to me?"

Mi Po shook her head, "I don't regret it, because it was Yang who wrote to Wan'er to inform me of my death back then."

She knew that Wan'er had secretly come to the capital, and she deliberately said those things so that Wan'er could hear them.

What she wants is for Wan'er to watch me die, and for Wan'er to cause a scene. Given the Duke's filial piety, he will certainly not tolerate his sister's disrespect for their mother.

That's why I kept the old servant around to stop Wan'er, but Madam Yang will definitely not be willing to give up.

When my son returned to the capital this evening, Madam Yang was well-prepared. She was convinced that I had stolen her husband's love and wanted my two children to kill each other.

Therefore, no matter how elaborate Wan'er's scheme is, she will not succeed, because Yang is the one who is waiting in the wings.

After she finished speaking, Mi Po's spirit swayed in the wind, as if all her strength had been drained away.

Gui Yao reached out and took her arm. "If that's the case, then let's keep this sparrow confined to the bed."

Thinking of Yang's lewd old ways, a sly glint flashed in Gui Yao's eyes. "I've heard that men have a stroke while riding a horse, but women have a stroke while riding a horse."

"Mi Po has been in the capital for decades, but she probably has never seen what it means to be unsteady on one's feet. Why don't we show the people of the capital this tonight?"
