Chapter 122: Staring
When Murong Jun arrived with the evidence of the Hua family's crimes, he didn't expect that someone had already found the Li family before him.
"See Third Highness...... After Li finished saluting, he unconsciously turned his head to look at Murong Xun, who had already entered the door behind her, and even the stool was not yet hot.
Murong Jun naturally saw the figure sitting on top as soon as he entered the door, and there was a ripple on his clear face like water waves, but it quickly returned to normal.
"I didn't expect the fifth brother to be there." Murong Jun casually found a place to sit at the bottom, and when Murong Xun saw this, he called in a low voice: "Third brother." After that, he got up and moved to the position opposite Murong Jun and sat down.
There were two big Buddhas in this small house at once, and Li could guess who these two big people were here for with a little thought.
What a big trouble for myself! The Li family secretly slandered in her heart, and now she really regrets why she agreed to the Song family to frame Lin Yingxue in the first place. Now it's okay, the two mothers and daughters of the Song family and Lin Yingling have picked it cleanly, but they have brought her a mess!
"Chunju, don't you hurry up and serve tea to the two princes!" Li's cheeks tightened with nervousness, and it was extremely difficult to reluctantly pull the corners of his mouth and squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying.
But Murong Jun and Murong Xun didn't look at this charming woman more, they looked at each other, but they didn't say a word.
Although the expressions of these two Buddhas were quite peaceful, Li Shi on the side felt an invisible pressure spreading in the main hall, pressing her almost out of breath.
"I wonder why the two Highnesses are here at the same time today?" In the end, Li couldn't bear it anymore and opened his mouth with difficulty.
When Murong Jun heard this, he withdrew his gaze, and he turned his head to look at Ming Ying who was standing behind him, "I have always disliked beating around the bush in doing things, and Mrs. Hua should understand when she sees these things." β
After Murong Jun's words fell, Ming Ying had already handed over the pile of colorful paper in his hand to the Li family.
After Li took the papers, before he could look at them twice, his expression had already changed drastically - who is an official in this year, who has not had a bad debt behind him, and has not seen a little secret? And now this small pile of paper in her hand is the evidence of their guilt after the bad things they have done!
Even if they take out one of them, it is enough to ruin their Hua family, not to mention so many criminal evidence, if these criminal evidence really spread, I am afraid that a hundred heads of their Hua family will not be enough to cut off!
Li couldn't take it anymore after reading half of it, she picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip of tea to calm down, but no matter how hard she tried with her trembling hands, she couldn't hold the teacup steady, only heard a 'bang', the teacup fell to the ground, and the tea splashed around left a few dark marks on Li's dress.
Unexpectedly, the bearability of the people beside him was so poor, Murong Jun raised his eyebrows, and without saying much, he said straight to the ground: "If Mrs. Hua doesn't want these things to get out, she must know how to do it." β
In fact, to put it bluntly, this matter was not done by Lin Yingxue, if he wanted to clear up his grievances for Lin Yingxue, he could also use normal means, but that method was too time-consuming and laborious, he couldn't wait that long, and he didn't want Lin Yingxue to suffer in prison for so long.
That's why he chose a relatively simple and direct path - to solve the matter from the source, since the framing was done by the Li family, as long as she retorted, Lin Yingxue's side would naturally be rescued.
It's that simple, so why not?
Murong Jun turned his head and glanced at the Li family, who was already in chaos, although his eyes were flat, but just this bland glance, Li couldn't help but feel a huge sense of panic in his heart - the little Hua family was not the opponent of the person in front of him at all!
"I ......" Li was about to open her mouth to answer, when she suddenly remembered that there was another fifth prince on the side who had not spoken since she came in, so she smiled miserably and changed her words: "Does the fifth prince also have anything to say to the courtiers?" β
"My purpose here is not the same as that of the third brother." Murong Xun spoke slowly, and there was no superfluous expression on his always indifferent face.
And as soon as Li Shi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up - it was not the same as Murong Jun's purpose, Murong Jun wanted to save people, and the people in front of him were just to ......
"But since the third brother personally came forward to protect Miss Fifth today, then I won't get involved in this matter." Like a basin of cold water pouring down, Murong Xun's words extinguished the little hope that had just risen in the bottom of Li's heart.
The current situation is just to go to the Song family, and I'm afraid the Song family can't solve it...... After the thoughts in his mind turned around quickly, Li finally said as if resigned to his fate: "The courtiers know what to do about this matter, and I hope that after the matter is resolved, the Third Highness can let my Hua family live." β
Li Shi knelt on his knees, and his face was extremely ugly.
"Okay." Murong Jun glanced at the Li family, and readily agreed to the request of the person in front of him, after all, it was not him who offended the person in front of him, but the person, and after that person came out of prison, he would not interfere with how to deal with the person in front of him.
Li didn't know what Murong Jun was thinking, and seeing that the Hua family still had a glimmer of life, a big stone in her heart finally landed.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the two people in the main hall still didn't move, she was in doubt, only to hear Murong Xun say coldly: "I still have something to say with the third brother, you can retreat first." β
The Li family was uncomfortable staying in the main hall, and as soon as Murong Xun's words came out, she hurriedly beckoned the people in the house to retreat with her.
In the blink of an eye, only Murong Jun and Murong Xun were left in the main hall.
"There are no outsiders now, if the fifth brother wants to say something, you might as well say it directly." Murong Jun's tone was casual and his demeanor was relaxed, as if he didn't care at all about what Murong Xun wanted to say to him.
Murong Xun took Murong Jun's wanton demeanor into his eyes, he slowly hooked the corners of his lips, and showed a rare smile, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just think that the woman that the third brother likes is extraordinary, first he uprooted a general beside me, and then he was helped the prince overturn the case, and recently I seem to have heard that the 'arms case' that spread a few days ago also had the participation of the fifth lady...... With such a capable strange woman, it is no wonder that the third brother is so important to her. β
Murong Xun's tone did not have any temperature, and it was cold, and it made people feel cold behind their backs.
Murong Jun stared at the person in front of him, his eyes suddenly condensed, "Don't touch her, otherwise you will regret it." β
More excited than he expected, the smile on Murong Xun's face widened, "I just said it casually, why is the third brother so nervous?" Could it be that Lin Yingxue is the third brother's confidante? β
Murong Xun's words clearly showed that he was testing the relationship between Lin Yingxue, if he really knew that Lin Yingxue had an extraordinary relationship with him, then Lin Yingxue's situation would inevitably become very dangerous.
"The fifth brother misunderstood, as the fifth brother said, the fifth lady has outstanding abilities, I just don't want to watch such a star fall." Murong Jun's inky eyes were like a black hole, sucking in all his emotions that shouldn't have appeared in an instant.
Murong Xun stared at Murong Jun for a long time and didn't see the answer he wanted from Murong Jun's face, a little disappointment flashed on his face, "That's the ......" Murong Xun paused, and then as if he thought of something, a glimmer of excitement lit up in his eyes, "Since the fifth miss is not the third brother's confidante, can the younger brother also win over the fifth miss?" β
Murong Xun's face was filled with a cold, meaningful smile again.
Murong Jun frowned slightly, the fist he hid in his sleeve tightened and tightened, and finally he barely resisted the impulse in his heart, and replied with the same light smile: "Why not?" The fifth brother might as well compete with me to see who the fifth lady chooses in the end. β
The two teenagers with somewhat similar eyebrows and eyes looked at each other, and their eyes flashed with a glimmer of eagerness, which was the restlessness that would rise from the bottom of their hearts when they encountered an enemy who was equal to them.
The rest went well.
- Li took the initiative to go to the Criminal Department to excuse Lin Yingxue, saying that a maid of the Hua family loved Hua Yuyan and didn't want to see Hua Yuyan marry too early, so she deliberately poisoned Lin Yingxue, but in the end, she poisoned Hua Yuyan by mistake, and in order to escape responsibility, she had to blame Lin Yingxue in the end.
Since the matter has 'come to light', the criminal department naturally has no reason to detain Lin Yingxue again, Lin Yingxue was released from prison in the afternoon of the same day, and when she returned to Lin's house, she was greeted at the door, except for a few maids and daughters-in-law in her courtyard, only the eldest lady was alone.
Also, the last bit of cheek between the Song family and her was completely torn apart when she was in the Hua family, how could she still come out to greet her now?
And now something like this has happened to her, although the cause of the incident is not her, but she is a yellow flower girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and her fiancΓ© died before she got married, which is a great damage to her reputation, and she will definitely not look good at others in the future.
Lin Zhengjie is such a person who pays attention to interests, if she can no longer bring benefits to the Lin family, how can Lin Zhengjie continue to attach importance to her?
In this way, she seems to have returned to the Lin family as isolated and helpless as before, and the situation is much more serious now than when she first returned to the Lin family.
But fortunately, she didn't gain anything along the way, looking at the worried faces at the door of Lin's house, she restrained her mood and walked up with a smile, "I'm back." β
When she comes back this time, she will definitely not be merciful again!
"Good boy, it's good to be back!" The eldest lady hurriedly greeted her, pulled her up and down and looked up and down many times, and finally said with some distress: "It's only been a long time since I went out, you see, I've lost weight like this!" You must have suffered a lot these days, right? When I heard that you were arrested and put in prison, my aunt was worried to death! It's good to come back now, my aunt has made soup for you, and she has made a few dishes that you love to eat......"
Liu's chatter touched Lin Yingxue's long-lost warmth, she comforted Liu for a while, and then noticed Di'er, who had been talking on the sidelines, "What's wrong?" If you have something to ask, it's just that I didn't take you with me when I went out this time, and I will admit it when I come back? β
Lin Yingxue can only be so relaxed when facing Di'er and others.
When Di'er saw Lin Yingxue take the initiative to ask, she frowned and asked, "Miss, why don't you see Sister Liu'er?" β
