At that time, Wei Xun had not yet killed He An. It was only because He An had an argument with Ling Qingwan at the banquet that Ling Qingwan had already started to prepare for the future.
Shen Chengzhou was amazed at how meticulous Ling Qingwan's thoughts were, even he was too much.
"At that time, I just thought He An was not someone who was easy to get rid of, and Miss Xiang spoke for me. I was afraid that He An would retaliate and bring harm to Miss Xiang, so I made preparations. I didn't expect it to come in handy." Ling Qingwan sighed helplessly.
The reason why she planned everything so carefully was that she was afraid that it would be difficult to solve the problem when something went wrong. But who wants something to go wrong
"But tonight, I have to trouble Grandpa to help me sort out these complaints. He An has done so many evil things, big and small, that it is too numerous to count. Some of them are inconvenient to bring to the court to explain them one by one."
Ling Qingwan weighed the pile of papers and estimated that there were at least two or three hundred pieces. She and Shen Chengzhou would probably be busy today.
When has Shen Chengzhou ever been afraid of hard work? He immediately agreed and sorted out the time with Ling Qingwan, dividing the time according to the severity of the crime and confirming the time and place, so as to avoid the He family retaliating and accusing them of taking leave.
As the night progressed, the two of them were still busy. The couch and the desk were full of papers, some of which had been sketched, and some had been sorted and put aside.
"This... Is this something a human can do?" The more Shen Chengzhou sorted out, the clearer it became about what evil things He An had done before his death. He clutched the paper in his hand, and finally couldn't help it, slammed the table and yelled.
"Look, last year, he saw a girl on the street and tried to rape her, but the girl refused and was dragged back to the mansion, raped and then stuffed into the toilet to drown. When the girl's family found her, there was not a single piece of good skin on her body, and she was so smelly that even the coroner from the government office didn't want to come forward to check. Her parents knelt in front of the government office all night to seek justice for their daughter, but the beast He An didn't even let them both go and beat them to death!"
Shen Chengzhou has such a violent temper that if He An were still alive, he would probably chase him to the father-in-law's house and beat him up.
"I know about this matter. The girl's younger brother was doing business in a nearby county town. He rushed back after hearing the news, and found that his entire family had turned into bones." Ling Qingwan sighed deeply.
In her previous life, Ling Qingwan had also experienced the pain of the death of a loved one, so she understood the feelings of the girl's brother very well. These complaints were all written by the victims' families with blood and tears.
"He An kidnapped a girl and brought her home. I don't believe that the old man in the He family doesn't know about this." Shen Chengzhou was filled with anger and had no place to vent. He was so angry that he could only slam the table again.
"He An has become like that, and Father-in-law He is to blame." Ling Qingwan sneered.
What’s funny is that Father-in-law He even had the nerve to seek justice for his son, and kept asking Wei Xun to pay with his life.
Why would he want to save his life, and why would he let the Seventh Prince of the dynasty pay with his life? What a joke.
"Look, this." Ling Qingwan pulled out a piece of paper next to her and put it on the table. "When He An was eight years old, he was playing with a few other kids nearby. He thought they were an eyesore, so he had his men chop off one of the kids' legs."
Shen Chengzhou was so angry that he couldn't help but feel furious.
He originally thought that He An was just too spoiled and arrogant, but now he knows that all the evil things He An did were serious crimes. He An was not spoiled at all, he was clearly a beast.
"Even if the prince didn't kill He An, he should give justice to those people he persecuted. I think the prince was too lenient. How could he let that little beast He An die so easily?" Shen Chengzhou snorted coldly, his face flushed with anger.
"Indeed, it is a waste for a person like He An to live in this world. It would be better for him to go to hell and atone for his sins." Ling Qingwan had no regrets about He An's death. She even had the same idea as Shen Chengzhou. She wished He An could come back to life so that he could experience the pain of those he had bullied.
Before I knew it, it was already dawn when I finished cleaning up.
Shen Chengzhou had no time to rest, and went to the morning court with the petition he and Ling Qingwan had compiled. Ling Qingwan couldn't hold on any longer, and immediately fell asleep on the couch.
"Madame Qiu! You can't go in!" The housekeeper was in a dilemma and chased Madame Qiu from the front door to the backyard.
Aunt Qiu was wearing a brown brocade dress. Although it was not as noble as the clothes worn by the rich, the quality of the fabric was not inferior to that of ordinary people. Looking at the six or seven attendants following her, one could tell her status among the servants in the palace.
Even though the housekeeper tried to stop her, Nanny Qiu refused to listen and rushed straight into the general's mansion.
"I've come here to discuss something with the Second Miss of the Ling family on the orders of the Queen. What? You dare to disobey even the Queen's orders?" Nanny Qiu glared at the housekeeper viciously.
"No, the young lady is resting. If you want to see her, I will go and call her. Why bother you to come to the backyard all the way?" The housekeeper explained hurriedly.
Anyone with a bit of insight could tell that Aunt Qiu had come with bad intentions this time. Ling Qingwan was Shen Chengzhou's favorite granddaughter, and he was away now. If Ling Qingwan got into trouble, everyone in the mansion would be held responsible.
"That's perfect. I've already reached the backyard anyway. It won't bother me if I walk a few more steps." Aunt Qiu was very stubborn and wouldn't listen to anything.
As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at the guard behind her. The guard received the order, stepped forward, and grabbed the housekeeper. Aunt Qiu pushed the door open without any hindrance and entered the room.
Ling Qingwan slept soundly until she felt a pain in her scalp, and then she woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Aunt Qiu's ferocious face, staring down at her.
"Miss!"
Nanny Park suddenly arrived. Seeing this, she shouted, rushed forward without saying a word, and pushed Nanny Qiu away.
"Miss? Are you okay?" Nanny Park asked with concern.
She had come here on the orders of Ling Shen to confirm whether Ling Qingwan was in the General's Mansion, but when she came in, she heard that the Queen's people had gone ahead to cause trouble for Ling Qingwan. Madam Park did not dare to delay and ran all the way to the backyard.
"It's okay." Ling Qingwan shook her head and comforted Nanny Park softly.
What's wrong? She was about to faint from the pain. Ling Qingwan endured the pain, got up from the couch, and faced Aunt Qiu.
"Who are you? Why did you break into the general's mansion for no reason, not only disturbing my sleep, but also attacking me?" Ling Qingwan asked sternly.
How could someone who could break into the general's mansion without reason be an ordinary citizen? Even if Aunt Qiu didn't say it, Ling Qingwan could guess who her master was.
As expected, Nanny Qiu straightened up and announced the title of Queen.
"The Queen asked me to come and see you. Uncle He passed away. Can you sleep well?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ling Qingwan burst out laughing.
