  With regard to the case of Father Liu’s death, there were witnesses who testified that Ming Shu was the first suspect, but given her current status, Lord Zhou didn’t dare to convict her casually and ordered the subordinates to look into the case carefully.

  Then it was determined that the murderer was a servant girl in the Liu residence.

  Of course the servant girl was most likely a scapegoat, and the real killer was definitely not her.

  Lord Zhou didn’t intend to look into the case further and just closed it hastily.

  As soon as Father Liu died, Li Shen came to the Liu family and offered to help Liu Xinyue with the identity of her fiancé.

  He held a very sincere and lowly attitude, accepting Liu Xinyue’s willful venting, beating, and cursing.

  Judging from the perspective of the villagers, it was Liu Xinyue who made trouble out of nothing and didn’t appreciate what was good.

  Liu Xinyue wanted to drive him out. But Li Shen backed himself up with those fellow villagers, saying he was the son-in-law approved by Father Liu, and Liu Xinyue couldn’t cancel the marriage because Father Liu had passed away.

  Liu Xinyue was very angry, yet she didn’t know what to do with such a scoundrel like Li Shen.

  Li Shen forced his way into the Liu residence. Liu Xinyue intended to postpone the wedding date for the reason that Father Liu had just passed away.

  But Li Shen wouldn’t allow that to happen. Liu Xinyue couldn’t defeat Li Shen, and Li Shen’s many annoying relatives also pushed at her. In the end, they didn’t get married, but Li Shen and his family all moved into the Liu residence.

  Liu Xinyue wanted to flee. But the Liu residence had much of the family fortune, so if she left, wouldn’t that be gifted to Li Shen? She didn’t have much money on her, so what could she do if she fled?

  “First Young Lady, Li Shen’s mother wants to live in the west yard.” The servant girl stood beside Liu Xinyue and trembled. As of late, Liu Xinyue was not in a stable mood and often lost her temper.

  “That’s my mother’s room, how dare she?” The west yard was the best yard besides Father Liu’s living quarters. Her mother used to live in the west yard, so it became empty since her mother was gone.

  “The Li family is going too far.” The servant girl felt aggrieved. “They take the Liu residence as their own. First Young Lady, please do something about it.”


  The Liu residence’s servants were a little scared of those people now. Before the servants had a good life here.

  But ever since the Li family moved in, the servants’ lives became tough. They ordered them about to do everything. If they were from the owner’s side of the family, the servants maybe wouldn’t complain much.

  But they were not.

  If the servants didn’t sign an irrevocable title deed with the Liu family, they would have quit the job.

  “First Young Lady, Li Shen’s mother is going to move into the west yard. We can’t stop her.” A servant boy ran over quickly with a handprint on his face. Apparently he had been slapped.

  Liu Xinyue was immediately pissed off. She went straight to the west yard with some people.

  “Mother, do I look good in this?”


  “Yes, very beautiful. My daughter will definitely look more beautiful than that Liu Xinyue if dressed up well.”


  “Mother, look, there are so many jewelries here. The Liu family is so rich.”


  “It’s nothing, because all of this will be yours in the future.”


  Hearing this, Liu Xinyue felt a filthy substance stuck in her chest, neither going up nor down.

  She walked into the room with a few steps. “Who let you get in here?”


  The people in the room were startled. Li Shen’s mother reacted first. “Ai, my daughter-in-law, why are you speaking so loud? Your Liu residence is a rich and noble family, didn’t you learn manners?”


  “Who let you in, get out of here!” Liu Xinyue pointed at the door.

  Li Shen’s mother formed an ugly smile. “Hoh, listen to you. Don’t you know my son is the owner of the Liu residence now? I am his mother, do I need to ask for your permission if I want to get a place in my own house?”


  “Your son?” Liu Xinyue gritted her teeth. “This is the Liu residence, and it’s my house!”


  “You’re married to my son and your last name is Li, so of course it’s my son’s house.”


  “Right right, sister-in-law, don’t be so stingy. It’s just some jewelry, do you lack that?” The girl beside Li Shen’s mother also took up the latter’s refrain. She was none other than the freckled girl Cheng Gui met.

  “We haven’t gotten married.”


  “Although you haven’t gotten married, you’ve done what a couple should do, so we’re family.” Li Shen’s mother sounded very reasonable.

  Liu Xinyue was angered to the point of trembling. She went up to Li Shen’s mother and dragged her outside. “Get out, get out of here.”


  “Why do you beat my mother……”


  The three women scuffled into a ball; meanwhile the servants didn’t dare to go up and just looked at each other with fear.

  Liu Xinyue was no match for Li Shen’s mother and sister and was beaten up by the two. Then Li Shen heard the noise and came to separate them.

  Liu Xinyue collapsed. She sat on the ground, crying.

  She didn’t know why it developed in this way, but it shouldn’t be like this……

  Li Shen quite liked Liu Xinyue as she was a beautiful wife, so he blamed his mother and sister and exchanged some words. But he decided in the end that his mother could move into the west yard.

  “When are you coming back to the capital with me?”


  Cheng Gui had asked hundreds of times.

  “I still have work to do.” Ming Shu would answer like this each time.

  “What is it? I can help you.”


  “You can go back by yourself if you want, but I won’t.”

  “You’re the infanta now, how can you not go back?” Cheng Gui tried to persuade her using bait. “The General Admiral’s mansion has been renovated, and you can live there when you go back. There are much more delicious foods in the capital than here.”


  Ming Shu hesitated a little. But for Hatred Points, she strengthened her conviction.

  Cheng Gui couldn’t change Ming Shu’s mind and paced back and forth anxiously.

  “Alas, stop pacing, you’ll make me dizzy.”


  Cheng Gui sat across from Ming Shu and poured himself a cup of tea. “Why don’t you ask me about the general admiral?”


  From the time of the reveal until now, she had never asked anything about the general admiral.

  To Ming Shu, these things didn’t matter. She didn’t have to load up her brain.

  But she glanced at Cheng Gui, who seemed eager to find something to talk about, so she asked cooperatively, “What happened to the general admiral?”


  Finally Cheng Gui felt himself useful. He coughed and began to slowly speak.

  “Your father was the general admiral, who got acquainted with a little infanta from the enemy country when he guarded the border. They fell in love with each other. Your father had gained great battle achievements then and was a thorn in many people’s sides. Someone…… framed the general admiral for treason, and the evidence was brought directly before His Majesty.

  “The general admiral was convicted and his whole family would be executed. At that time, your mother was about to give birth and was sent away by the general admiral. But after you were born, your mother left you and went back to the capital to save the general admiral.

  “But what a pity……”


  Cheng Gui took a sip of tea.

  “In the end, they were all killed, and you were lost.

  “Not long ago, an old minister overturned the case of the general admiral and revealed the truth. His Majesty conferred a posthumous title as the general admiral and rebuilt the mausoleum. You’re the only child of the general admiral.”


  Finally, Cheng Gui asked, “Do you know why Eunuch Lu doesn’t want you to go back?”


  “Because of the commander’s seal?”


  “Right.” Cheng Gui nodded. “They only found half of the commander’s seal on the general admiral at that time, and the other half was missing. Perhaps your mother had left that half with you, hoping that one day the truth would be exposed and it would prove your identity.”


  The Weiwu Army was a powerful soldier troop created by the general admiral when he was alive. Even if it was half of the commander’s seal, it was very alluring.
