Mrs. Gao's eyes suddenly became cold: "Say! Who are you? What is the purpose of infiltrating my house? ”

And so it was! Recently, this series of turmoil was really buckled on her head! Even if there are many loopholes, Mrs. Gao actually believes it! Xilingyue couldn't prove her innocence at this time, and was thinking about how to win Mrs. Gao's trust, but she heard Li Wangzhen slowly speak: "Aunt don't be angry, although this woman is pretending to be Jiang Sanniang, she has nothing to do with the turmoil in the house. Think about it, if she really has a bad intention, she should try her best to hide her identity, why did she take the initiative to help her uncle find the assassin and get his uncle's attention? Also, why did she kill that maidservant and even burn Jiang's mansion? These actions are not only detrimental to her hiding her identity, but also self-destruct the Great Wall. ”

At this moment, Li Wangzhen's words were like a ray of light, giving Xiling Yue a glimmer of life.

Mrs. Gao really hesitated and asked her, "What do you think about this?" ”

Li Wangzhen obviously realized the conspiracy behind this, and replied: "Is it true that this woman is unknown, and it is true that she is pretending to be Jiang Sanniang, maybe it is ...... Maybe there is indeed a plan to enter the mansion, but if you forget the truth, it is certain that it was not her to kill the maid and burn the Jiang Mansion, because these things are not good for her, but she is the victim. As for the prison robbery and arson last night...... Maybe this is the purpose of her sneaking into the mansion, but it is also possible that those people found out that she was pretending to be Jiang Sanniang, so they took the opportunity to put all the blame on her. ”

Li Wangzhen's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, and everyone present nodded in agreement. So Li Wangzhen looked at Xiling Yue again, and said lightly: "Then now there is only one question left, as long as you can tell a reasonable reason, let us believe that you have no malice in blending into this mansion, you will not have to worry about your life." ”

Xiling Yue was so anxious that she was sweating: "I said it all, I was just entrusted by Jiang Gong to participate in the hairpin banquet instead of Jiang Sanniang." He explained at the time that as long as I messed up this banquet and didn't lose face in the Jiang Mansion. ”

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Gao suddenly took the case, "Heng'er clearly mentioned to me yesterday that you have a portrait of our family in your hand!" It's ridiculous that you still pretend not to know him, pretending to be indisputable! If you really want to be perfunctory, how can you be fully prepared to perform this big show in front of Heng'er, so that he can fall in love with you? ”

The more Mrs. Gao spoke, the more annoyed and embarrassed she became, and her right hand full of Kodan pointed at Xiling Yue hatefully: "You are obviously deliberately approaching him and plotting against him!" ”

"I ...... I ......" Xilingyue was speechless when asked, wanting to defend but didn't know where to start, she only felt that the complexity of the inside story and the coincidence of the incident were something she had never seen or heard in her life, and she couldn't explain it for a while. Want to tell the truth? Wouldn't it involve Pei Xingli as well? But whether he had good intentions or was framed at the beginning, he is still uncertain now, if he rashly confessed to him, in case he was a good person, wouldn't he have harmed his life-saving benefactor, and cut off the only way to save himself?

Thinking of this, Xilingyue decided to keep Pei Xingli, so she had to explain: "Alas, this matter is ...... This matter is too complicated, and it is true that I have a plan, but I do not want to get close to the son, but to stay away from him. ”

"Stay away?" Don't say that Mrs. Gao doesn't believe it, and the people in the room can't believe it. After all, these days, the entire Jiedu embassy knows that the prince is very attentive to her, and he runs to the small guest house in three days. And she also helped Li Fu shoot out the assassin, and even received wide acclaim for it.

At this moment, Xi Lingyue only felt that her tongue seemed to be knotted, and her usual sharp teeth disappeared without a trace, and she didn't know how to explain things clearly for a while, and she had to cover up Pei Xingli.

Instead, Li forgot Allah to help her analyze: "Don't worry, say it one by one." You have already explained the original intention of entering the mansion, and we believe you for the time being. It's not false that you found out the assassin, so if you infer it, the robbery can be considered as irrelevant to you. But you were called away by the prince at the hairpin banquet last night, and you never came back since, and during this period, there happened to be three major events: the bombing of the inner courtyard, the killing of the maid on Penglai Island, and the death of the fake Aluo. Will you be able to prove that none of these three things are relevant to you? ”

"I ......" Xilingyue can naturally prove it, but if she wants to prove it, she will have to involve the two Fuwang Li Chengxuan and Pei Xingli, and the price is too painful, she doesn't dare to say it. She couldn't even say that she saw the whole process of the maid being killed on Penglai Island! Li Wangzhen saw that she had been silent, and couldn't help but remind: "You can think clearly, if you don't say anything, this crime will not be washed away." ”

Xilingyue bit her lower lip and condensed her eyebrows: "You let me think about it, and then I want to talk about it......"

"What's so hard about telling the truth? Are you trying to make up a seamless lie? Mrs. Gao asked sharply.

Xilingyue was in a state of confusion, and she hadn't figured out how to choose, for fear that if she said the wrong thing on impulse, the consequences would become more and more out of control.

Seeing that she still refused to speak, Li Wangzhen pondered for a moment and whispered to Mrs. Gao: "Aunt, my niece has some private matters that I want to discuss with you, and I ask you to ......."

Mrs. Gao immediately understood, and said to Cao Justice, Jiang Yunyi and others: "You guys retreat first and wait outside the door for the summons." ”

"Yes." Several people got up one after another to leave.

When there were only three of them left in the house, Li Wangzhen pointed to Xilingyue and said to Mrs. Gao: "Auntie, she was called away by the prince last night, maybe something is ...... When it comes to men and women, one of her daughters is not easy to speak. The niece thought that maybe she could get some clues from the son, what do you think? ”

Mrs. Gao has always liked this niece, and at this moment she appreciates her delicate thoughts, so she agreed: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Heng'er since last night, and there are so many things in the house, and I haven't seen him come to greet me...... I'm going to call him for questioning! ”

Time passed little by little, and Xilingyue kept kneeling in the center of the Baohua Hall, her legs gradually losing sensation. Mrs. Gao leisurely drank tea and waited for Li Heng to arrive.

Outside the window, the sky is getting darker, the twilight is getting thicker, and the afterglow of the setting sun is spread on the floor tiles of the Baohua Hall, forming a line of light and shadow, bright or dark.

Cao Zhengyi was already hungry, Jiang Yunyi was also tired and tired, but Mrs. Gao didn't speak, no one dared to leave, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, everyone understands that if you don't figure things out tonight, Mrs. Gao will never give up.

After waiting like this for half an hour, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, and everyone followed the prestige to prepare to meet them, but it was not Li Heng who came in, but Pei Xingli.

Xilingyue looked up at him from the moment he entered the door, trying to wink at him, but only to get him a quick glance. Xiling Yue looked at it closely, only to find that his face was pale, and he did not see his previous calm posture at all, but was replaced by anxiety and panic.
