Thank you for the gift support of love ^^! Thank you to _318 and Butterfly Under the Rain for your pink ticket support!
Xue Renjie was moved and Xie Lingyun could say such heart-warming words at the most difficult time, and couldn't help but hold her in his arms, thinking about nothing in his heart, just wanting to enjoy the warmth of this moment quietly.
Xie Lingyun didn't say anything at this moment, but her heart was full of panic, although she didn't hear Xue Renjie say the specific situation at that time, but she knew that whether it was Prince Jian's Mansion or Xue Renjie, the situation was very unfavorable now, and it could be said that someone with a heart pointed the finger directly at Xue Renjie.
That secret letter was lost from Xue Renjie, and it would inevitably make people misunderstand that Xue Renjie had the possibility of revealing the news to the Western Regions. If this suspicion is caught by someone with a heart, it will not only make Xue Renjie unable to continue to investigate the events of the year, but also may be imprisoned.
Just as he thought that Xie Lingyun understood everything in his heart, he was even more worried and frightened, and couldn't help but be anxious, wanting to catch the person who stole the battle map from Xue Renjie's study.
And wanting to catch this person is not such a simple thing, she believes that Xue Renjie has also taken action. But judging from his reaction, things should not be optimistic, which made her even more worried, and she couldn't help but think of what Liu said to her.
Now she has not gotten any exact news from the secret guard given to her by the imperial concubine, originally she wanted to tell Xue Renjie and Mrs. Tai after getting the evidence, but now it seems that she can no longer tolerate her to slowly find evidence Heavy Demon Hunter.
However, if she said it to Xue Renjie now, would he believe it?
For a while, she was a little unsure, if Xue Renjie didn't believe it, it would disrupt all her plans.
At this time, Xie Lingyun's mind flashed what Liu said to her:
"The princess, the concubine once heard the conversation between the Qiao family and the Yin family. Although the concubine didn't really listen to it at that time, the concubine could be sure that Qiao and Yin were not good people, especially Qiao, when the concubine vaguely heard her threatening Yin, as if she wanted Yin to do something for her......"
“…… At that time, the concubine thought that it was well hidden, and after the matter of the second lady, the concubine realized that the concubine must have been seen by Qiao's at that time, otherwise Qiao's would not have directly attacked the second miss, they all thought that the second young lady pushed the fourth young master into the water, but it was not like that at all. At that time, the concubine asked the second lady afterwards, although she was still young at the time, she could still know some things. She said that it was a woman who pushed the fourth young master into the water, and then the woman left quickly, leaving the second miss alone to be misunderstood by others, and the second miss said at the time that the woman was very similar to Qiao's ......"
Whenever Xie Lingyun remembered what the Liu family had said to her, her heart still couldn't be calm. It's really hard to believe that if Liu's words were true, Qiao's would be cruel to his son, what a frightening woman she is?
It was precisely because of the surprise in her heart that she asked the Liu family at that time, "Since the second young lady guessed who wanted to kill the fourth young master at that time." Why didn't you tell the prince or Mrs. Tai at that time, but let others misunderstand, and finally had to be sent to another hospital? ”
At that time, Liu heard her ask. A complicated expression of desolation, apology, and unwillingness flashed on his face, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
"The princess, why did you treat the second lady so much to the concubine, and why did the concubine never dare to get close to the second lady, it was because of the weakness and incompetence of the concubine at that time that the second lady carried the black cauldron......"
At that time, the concubine realized that it was possible that Qiao's family was warning the concubine through the second lady. The concubine was afraid that Qiao's didn't know what else was waiting for the concubine, so she asked the second lady to keep her mouth shut. The truth of the time must not be told, this ...... This is the main reason why the second lady resents the concubine the most and is unwilling to get close to the concubine......"
Every word Liu said, every expression on her face clearly echoed in Xie Lingyun's ears and eyes, although she really couldn't believe what Liu said in her heart, but reason told her that Liu was not lying.
And because she knew that what the Liu family said was true, she did not collect evidence from Xue Chuyao, and it must have been an indelible shadow for that child. She didn't want Chu Yao to think about the events of the year again, she could only think about herself to investigate what role Qiao's played in the events of that year.
However, now Xie Lingyun looked at Xue Renjie's sad appearance, but hesitated in her heart, at this critical moment, she couldn't afford to continue to delay, let alone hesitate, if something bad happened to Prince Jian's Mansion or Xue Renjie because of her hesitation, she thought she would never forgive herself in her life.
But how do you say it to Xue Renjie?
Judging from their usual performance, whether it is Xue Renjie or Mrs. Tai, they treat Qiao's very well, and even with a kind of gratitude. If she said that there was something wrong with Qiao's at this time, I believe Xue Renjie would definitely not believe it, but would say that Liu's was framing Qiao's, right?
Because of this consideration, she quickly organized her language in her heart, first of all, her tone of voice should be calm, and her expression should not be silent, so that Xue Renjie could not think that her heart had any favoritism towards the Liu family; The most important thing is to emphasize what Qiao may have done back then, rather than repeatedly saying that Qiao was the culprit who caused his ancestor to fall into the water.
The fact that Qiao's family harmed her ancestor even she didn't believe it when she said it, let alone Xue Renjie, who had always trusted and appreciated Qiao's family.
After thinking about it, Xie Lingyun had a clear idea in her heart, and at this moment, she looked at Xue Renjie without hesitation, and said seriously:
"Renjie, I have something to say to you that the princess is not a vegetarian and refuses to be the wife of the village."
Xue Renjie saw the solemnity of her expression, and was slightly stunned, before saying, "What's the matter?" ”
Xie Lingyun didn't tell him directly first, but knew that what she was going to say next might make him unacceptable for a while, so she took his hand very thoughtfully and sat on the chair first, and then said what Liu said with a straight face:
"I went to ask my aunt for some manpower, about ......"
Xue Renjie raised his eyebrows when he heard her first sentence at first, I don't know why she suddenly asked the imperial concubine for manpower? What is the use of these manpower?
And when he slowly heard her words, the expression on his face became more and more solemn, and the look in his eyes became more and more complicated, and his first thought was not to believe it......
Xie Lingyun paid attention to the change in Xue Renjie's expression when he spoke, and the suspicion in his eyes naturally did not escape her eyes.
Sure enough, I still don't believe it.
Xie Lingyun sighed in her heart, but since she had already said it, she didn't want to say anything more, so she simply said her opinions and guesses directly.
"When the Liu family told me this, I didn't believe it, after all, this is too unbelievable, the Qiao family will unite with the Yin family to kill Prince Jian's mansion, how can this be said in the past, don't say anything else, just with the son of Zu Ge'er, the Qiao family can't do things that harm others and themselves, but some things can't just look at the surface, I think it's better to find out."
Xue Renjie stared at her tightly, and said surprisingly calmly: "This is the reason why you asked the imperial concubine for help?" ”
Although he already had the answer in his heart at this moment, he still wanted to hear her say it to himself.
Xie Lingyun looked at him and nodded very frankly: "Yes, after knowing that the Liu family said that, to be honest, I was hesitant in my heart, but thinking of the predicament faced by Prince Jian's mansion, I had to investigate the Qiao family." "Even if it upsets him and Mrs. Tai, she won't regret her decision, because she is in Prince Jane's Mansion!
"Why didn't you tell me, but instead went to the imperial concubine to ask for manpower?" Xue Renjie frowned and asked.
Xie Lingyun didn't expect that after listening to his words, his first reaction was like this, not to ask why she was suspicious of Qiao's, but to care why she didn't tell him this in the first place?
Does this mean that he does not disapprove of his own approach?
Xie Lingyun held a hint of hope in her heart, and said cautiously: "Aren't you angry that I asked people to investigate Qiao's?" ”
Xue Renjie didn't answer her question immediately, but stood up and walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back, and then suddenly stood still and frowned at Xie Lingyun, and asked:
"Do you think the Liu family lied?"
Xie Lingyun raised her eyebrows and sighed in her heart, obviously this was when he really doubted the truth of what the Liu family said, she knew that relying on the child of the Qiao family's ancestor brother was enough to dispel Xue Renjie's suspicions, so she was not much disappointed, but said truthfully:
"I don't think there's any need for Ryu to lie." Because there was no conflict of interest between Qiao and Liu, if Liu didn't really hear anything, she wouldn't suddenly come over and say this, because everything has traces, and Liu won't be stupid enough to dig her own grave to frame Qiao, after all, Qiao's status in Prince Jane's Mansion is not something that Liu can provoke.
When Xue Renjie heard Xie Lingyun's words, he frowned and turned around twice, because he already knew Xie Lingyun's attitude towards this matter, and he must have doubted Qiao's family, otherwise he would not suddenly ask the imperial concubine for manpower.
As for why Xie Lingyun didn't tell him at the first time, he could actually guess more or less in his heart, he must be worried that he didn't believe it, or was it a kind of protection for the Liu family in disguise, right?
