Chapter 63: Substitute for the Dead

"Dad, no matter what, the victim of this incident is the eldest lady, but my mother also has credit. If she hadn't saved Aunt Li in the first place, Aunt Li would not have been able to debunk Zhou Bi's conspiracy today. At the same time, my mother was also threatened by Zhou Bi, and now she has been locked up in the ancestral temple, should my father also give my mother justice? ”

Ruan Mingzhao spoke softly and looked at Ruan Tao, the expression on his face was as calm as water, but what he said was also the truth, and there was no half of a lie.

If it weren't for Ji Rui saving Aunt Li, there would be no result of the truth being revealed today.

"This..."

Ruan Tao was stunned, reached out and touched the beard on his chin, thoughtfully.

Ruan Di stood aside, listening to what Ruan Mingzhao said, pondering countermeasures.

Although she had never met Jirui before, she was not familiar with her.

But this incident is really Ji Rui's help, and Ji Rui is also a victim.

Twenty years of youth, because of the child, forbearance, was locked up in the ancestral temple for twenty years, how many twenty years of life are there?

Now that the truth of this matter has been revealed, she should be given justice and brought Zhou Bi to justice, and Ji Rui can't spend her whole life in the ancestral temple, right?

"Dad, Aunt Ji has contributed a lot to this matter, and she is also a victim, she has been imprisoned in the ancestral temple for twenty years, and we still owe her."

"So, it's better to lock Zhou Bi up in the ancestral temple and bring Aunt Ji out. From then on, Zhou Bi stayed in the ancestral temple and was never allowed to return to Ruan's Mansion again, as for Aunt Ji, her compensation depends on her father. After all, she is her father's person, as long as you treat her well, Aunt Ji should be very happy. ”

Ruan Di muttered, thinking of a foolproof plan.

Ruan Tao was thoughtful in his heart, and before he could speak, Ruan Mingzhao next to him directly thanked Ruan Di and was very grateful.

"My sister is really thoughtful, and it's not bad to deal with this matter like this. I don't know what Daddy thinks? ”

Ruan Mingzhao thanked Ruan Di, then looked at Ruan Tao, waiting for him to speak.

"Okay, that's it. Locked Zhou Bi in the ancestral temple, and her disobedient daughter, will be in the ancestral temple from now on, and without my order, you will not be allowed to return to the Ruan Mansion. ”

"Mother, I wonder what you think?"

After Ruan Tao finished speaking, he then looked at Yuan Kailan, who was sitting beside him, and asked her opinion.

"You've said it all, what else can I say? Just do what you want. ”

After Yuan Kailan finished speaking, she then stood up from her seat, supported by the maid, and walked towards the gate step by step.

Zhou Bi took his life on his back and killed the eldest lady, and it was enough to be benevolent and righteous enough to not let her pay for her blood debts.

What's more, Ji Rui also carried the black cauldron for her and was locked up in the ancestral temple for twenty years, so after that, let Zhou Bi think about it in the ancestral temple, live in seclusion until death, and repent of the mistakes she made.

As for her daughter Ruan Yun, she is also from Ruan Mansion and Ruan Tao's daughter.

Ruan Tao didn't think about imprisoning Ruan Yun to death, but he wouldn't let her out for the time being, so let her repent with her mother in the ancestral temple, when did she know that she was wrong. When you don't do anything bad, let her out.

After Yuan Kailan left, Ruan Tao also left the hall, Ruan Di looked at Aunt Li and wanted to ask where she went, but Aunt Li waved her hand and said that she would go back in a while.

Since this is the case, Aunt Li said that Ruan Di couldn't say anything anymore, and left the hall with Xiaowan and prepared to go back to her small courtyard.

"Eldest son, thank you really for today's events, if it wasn't for Aunt Ji saving me back then, maybe I would have died a long time ago."

Aunt Li looked at Ruan Mingzhao and was still very grateful in her heart.

"Don't say it, I'll send you back."

Ruan Mingzhao opened his mouth, and after speaking, he stopped Aunt Li and prepared to send her back. Aunt Li lives in a thatched hut on the outskirts of the capital, she has had a lot of fate in her life, and after being rescued by Ji Rui, she has been living in a thatched hut in the suburbs.

Although she later married a man and gave birth to a child, later due to illness, her man died and the child died.

Life is difficult, and she has no fertility, so she has not remarried. Now I live alone in the suburbs, alone.

But over the years, she has become accustomed to such days and feels that it doesn't matter.

"How does this work?"

Aunt Li looked at Ruan Mingzhao and felt flattered, the eldest prince personally sent her back, she couldn't afford it?

"What's not to be avoided? Because you saved my mother, she had the opportunity to come out of the ancestral temple, so no matter what, we should thank you. Let's go, I'm not too far away anyway. ”

Ruan Mingzhao said and walked out of the hall. Aunt Li followed behind him and also left Ruan's Mansion together.

In the carriage, Ruan Mingzhao sat on one side with his eyes closed, and Aunt Li shrank in the corner tremblingly.

This kind of life with a carriage is something she has never experienced, especially after the death of the eldest lady, she escaped death and has been hiding from life, so she has never experienced this kind of life.

She shrank in the corner, didn't speak, and always regarded herself as transparent, and she also understood that she was a subordinate, and the identity gap with Ruan Mingzhao.

He is now willing to send her back, but she is stained, because the truth of this matter is revealed today, in order to repay her, so he agreed to give her a ride.

The carriage walked for a long time, and after a while, it arrived at the outskirts, and as it walked from the official road, the front became a small road.

The carriage couldn't pass, so Ruan Mingzhao and Aunt Li had to get down and walk.

"Eldest son, you don't need to send it, I'll be there after a short walk ahead, you can go back first."

Aunt Li was also a little embarrassed, looked at Ruan Mingzhao, and told him to go back.

Now it's starting to get late, and it's getting dark when she goes back late for a while, and she's afraid that something will happen to Ruan Mingzhao on the road.

"It's okay, I'll send you."

Ruan Mingzhao shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind, and told the little servant to watch the carriage here, and he came back later.

Aunt Li had no choice, and then walked in front, walking the path with Ruan Mingzhao and walking down the hill together.

"Aunt Li, do you know? In fact, my mother gave Zhou Bi the blame at the beginning, but now, Zhou Bi is the ghost of the dead. ”

After a long walk, there were either mountains or fields around, but there were no people here.

Ruan Mingzhao walked behind Aunt Li and suddenly spoke.

"What?"

Aunt Li was stunned for a moment, some didn't hear what Ruan Mingzhao said clearly, and even more incredulous.

Is Zhou Bi a substitute for the dead? So how can you say it, wasn't it Zhou Bi who killed the eldest lady?

"Aunt Li, I'll send you here, here is some silver for you to use, you live alone is quite hard, and you won't be bitter in the future."

Ruan Mingzhao took out a bag of silver from his arms and handed it to Aunt Li, and the expression on his face returned to normal.
