Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 542: Cause and Effect, Clear and Unmistakable

Du Qingruo had stayed in Xinyue Tower before, and this could be found out with a little research.

She revealed herself to be the daughter of the Du family and wanted to seek justice for her father, so she was also arrested and sold to Xinyue Tower.

I went to the Ministry of Revenue to look at the files again, and found that many details matched.

Qiao Jian'er had already prepared for all of this. She also went to the Ministry of Households to learn a lot about Du Qinglan's family history, so she was not afraid of the eldest prince checking.

The eldest prince believed that even if Qiao Jianer had some special abilities, it would be impossible for him to be so thorough and comprehensive.

Therefore, he felt that there was basically nothing to doubt about Du Qingruo.

However, he could not tell Du Qinglan that her sister was looking for her, so as not to disturb her mentality and affect her plans.

When the Qiao family is completely destroyed, he will let this pair of sisters serve him together. Thinking of this, the eldest prince felt very happy.

A few days ago, Qiao Jianer had already gained a detailed understanding of Du Qinglan's family background and all her connections after investigating the Ministry of Household Archives and visiting people who knew the Du family in her hometown in the capital area.

The whole story of this case is that a third-rank official, also surnamed Du, committed the serious crime of treason. According to regulations, he should be executed along with his entire clan, but it happened that the emperor at the time was going to grant amnesty to the whole country, so except for the official's family who were executed, all his clansmen were sentenced to exile and sold.

Du Qinglan's father was a businessman, and he also had some inheritance from a scholarly family. He held a sinecure of the ninth rank, and had nothing to do with that third rank official. When the incident happened, the nine clans were counted, and someone who was jealous of the exclusive rights reported Du Qinglan's family as well, and thus they were implicated.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, because in the capital, there are too many families implicated in the case. As for the female family members, some were sold to the palace and various government offices to do hard labor, some were sold to military camps, and some were sold to brothels.

However, Qiao Jianer was a little suspicious. Was the reason why Du Qinglan followed the eldest prince's words and approached the Qiao family because she wanted to redress the injustice done to her family members?

After the matter was accomplished, the eldest prince fulfilled her wish.

Thinking of this, her expression changed. If she guessed correctly, the whole thread of the matter could finally be figured out.

Including causes, motivations, and goals to be achieved.

She was thankful that she had such a space and this invisibility cloak, otherwise, it would be impossible for her to dig so deep.

Because this matter was originally kept very secret.

Du Qinglan has such a strong belief in redressing her family's innocence that once she takes action, she will never stop.

Du Qinglan had dinner at Qiao's house. Qiao Jianer came into the kitchen only after everyone was halfway through eating.

"Jian'er, why are you back so late? Come and sit down and have dinner." said Old Mrs. Qiao.

"I encountered something and was delayed." Qiao Jianer said.

"What's the matter?" Boss Qiao asked curiously.

"The government arrested the wrong person. I saw they were about to wrongly accuse an innocent family, so I stopped them and worked with the government to investigate. We finally concluded that the family was innocent, saving their fate."

As he spoke, he quickly glanced at Du Qinglan's expression.

Sure enough, Du Qinglan seemed to have thought of something, her face turned slightly pale, and her hands trembled.

"Our Jian'er is amazing. He can handle things like this with just a flick of his finger." Qiao Zhizhi said, "Saving a whole family right now is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

The Qiao family members all praised him.

"It's thanks to his status as a princess and a general. If an ordinary person tried to stop him, he would have been taken away as well." said Qiao Lao San.

Everyone agreed.

After everyone finished their meal, a family suddenly came to the door. The eldest was in his eighties, and the youngest was six or seven years old. They knelt down in front of the door.

"The princess saved our entire family. The princess is so righteous that our Liu family cannot repay her. We will work like a slave in our next life to repay her."

"If it weren't for the princess, my family would have died without a burial place. The princess is a living Bodhisattva, the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva."

As they spoke, they wiped their tears and expressed their gratitude.

The Qiao family hurried out and helped the family up.

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor. Our Jian'er is the general, defending our country. How can he sit back and watch the people in trouble?" Old Mrs. Qiao said, holding the hand of the eighty-year-old woman.

"Since you have resolved this crisis, then live your life well, relax, and don't overthink it."

The family brought eggs, fresh bamboo shoots dug from the mountains, a big rooster raised by themselves, pickled lean sausages, and glutinous rice cakes. They were determined to give them to the Qiao family, otherwise they would not leave.

Seeing that they were so kind, the Qiao family reluctantly accepted the gift and then sent them away with kind words.

Du Qinglan stood in Qiao's house, tightly clutching the handkerchief in her hand, with a look of struggle and hesitation on her face.

Qiao Lian'er could also fulfill her wish, but she had been with that man for several years but there was no progress.

No, what if Qiao Jianer was acting, what if she guessed something.

Thinking of this, Du Qinglan's heart tightened.

She suspected that this family was hired by Qiao Jianer to act out a trick. No, she had to investigate it first.

The next day, Du Qinglan took action.

She asked the neighbor of that house about what happened yesterday, and it was true.

Then I went to the street yamen. There was a yamen on every street in the capital.

However, there was nothing else to do. Du Qinglan couldn't get in, so she stuffed a silver ingot into the gatekeeper's pocket.

The bailiff looked around, quickly stuffed the silver into his sleeve, then stood up straight as if nothing had happened and lowered his voice.

"It's true that we almost arrested the wrong person. It was the master who made a mistake. Fortunately, Princess Feiluan happened to pass by and cleared the family's name. Otherwise, if our master had made a mistake right from the start, I'm afraid it would have been hard to say what would happen in the future."

Du Qinglan left here.

It seems that this is just a coincidence.

But it also shows that Qiao Jianer has this ability.

Du Qinglan shook her head again. Her family affairs involved a third-rank official who was guilty of treason. Apart from the prince whom the emperor valued, who else could help her?

The family that Qiao Lian'er met was nothing compared to her own experience, and there was no comparison at all.

She looked at the gradually falling dusk, narrowed her eyes, and there was a look of sadness and confusion on her face.

The reason why Qiao Lian'er performed this play was not to impress Du Qinglan.

Instead, you should judge her reaction from similar experiences to prove your guess.

Sure enough, no matter how good Du Qinglan's acting was, she was a little out of control, which meant that her words hit her sore spot.

She was eager to vindicate her family and clear their grievances.

The cause and effect are clear and accurate.

A sneer appeared on Qiao Lianer's lips. Next, it depends on what Du Qinglan will do.
