Chapter 249: Confronting Linglong

has been shrouded in the shadow of his daughter's death, and Prime Minister Shen has not thought carefully about this aspect.

Now that he woke up suddenly, his whole back was covered in cold sweat, and then looking at Zhu Jiu and Luo Zheng, their calm expressions were like a knife, piercing the self-righteous truth in his heart.

Can...... At this time, it was too late to call Linglong to come over and confront her, because he had already put people back to his hometown and let her live a good life.

Seeing the change in Prime Minister Shen's expression, Zhu Jiu knew that he had figured it out now, but seeing that he was embarrassed, he said, "What's the matter, but is there something inconvenient?"

Prime Minister Shen choked up, so he had to say, "However, Linglong has been released back to his hometown by me......

Sending her back to her hometown is also because staying in the capital may kill her, Prime Minister Shen Cheng doesn't want to kill again, her daughter is dead, and he doesn't want her daughter's last maid to die too.

After Prime Minister Shen Cheng said this, he was ready to be questioned by Zhu Jiu, but when Zhu Jiu smiled, he didn't get angry with him at all, but raised his hand.

Luo Zheng behind him immediately went to the house, and after a while, he brought out a woman, who was Linglong.

The hairpin worn on Linglong's head is particularly gorgeous and bright, it is the jewelry sold by the largest jewelry workshop in Xuanyuan Country, and only dignitaries buy it, a civilian woman like Linglong does not even have the qualifications to step into the Diancui Workshop, but her daughter often patronized the Diancui Workshop before her death, and he has also seen his daughter wear this hairpin, how can it be on Linglong's head?

In the flash of light, Prime Minister Shen Cheng thought a lot, and his eyes were also firmly fixed on Linglong, and after Linglong was taken out, he lowered his head tremblingly, and caught a glimpse of Prime Minister Shen's robe, so he hurriedly raised his head and asked for help: "Master save the slave!" Sir, save the slave and maid! On the way back to the village, the slave was suddenly knocked unconscious, and as soon as she woke up, she was here!"

"On the way home?"

Zhu Jiu seemed to have heard some joke, since Shen Xiuzhi's death, she has been asking Cinnabar House to pay attention to the movements of the Shen family, and after Linglong took the silver given by Prime Minister Shen, she also knew clearly whether she returned to her hometown or not.

Luo Zheng also knew about this matter, because Zhu Jiu didn't hide from him about seeing Shen Chengxiang today, and he brought Shen Chengxiang here, so he looked at Linglong and pierced her and said: "Prime Minister, after this person took your security silver, he didn't go back to his hometown, but used this money to find a way to enter the Anning Hou Mansion and become the concubine of An Ning Hou Shizi, and An Ning Hou Shizi, Zeng Xinyue Ling Qianjin, confessed to Ling Qianjin, but was rejected, and then An Ning Hou Shizi did not entangle her, but occasionally sighed that he loved her at the beginning."

"What?"

Prime Minister Shen also knew about this old matter for the first time, and looked at Linglong in disbelief, "Linglong, you ......."

But soon, he reacted, frowned slightly, and looked at Zhu Jiu: "But what does Linglong's matter have to do with the Marquis of Anning's Mansion and my daughter?"

Seeing him ask, Zhu Jiu said, "It has nothing to do with the Marquis of Anning's Mansion, but Linglong said that she panicked, that night, Shen Xiuzhi did not die at my hands, but at her hands."

Bang!

Rao is Prime Minister Shen Cheng has been mentally prepared to accept the fact that Zhu Jiu is not the real murderer, and has also imagined who the real murderer is, the enemy or something else? But I never expected that the real murderer would be Linglong! Such a little dowry maid?!

His daughter, but she is about to be the queen she wants! Just one step away, just one step away from being able to fulfill her wish, but Linglong destroyed it with her own hands!

Her words fell into Linglong's ears, and a trace of resentment suddenly flashed in Linglong's eyes, but soon, she clenched Prime Minister Shen's hand and said with tears in her eyes: "Master, it was they who joined forces to deceive you!" The slave's heartfelt heart to you and to the young lady can be seen by the sun and the moon! If the slave dares to say a lie, she will immediately let the slave and maid die with thunder and thunder!"

"And how do you explain the hairpin on your head? Didn't you mean to say that I deliberately shoved it into your head?"

Zhu Jiu stared at her with a smile.

This delicate heart is indeed good, and at this time, I also want to turn the words back, and I don't worry at all about whether the flaws she exposed will kill her.

Prime Minister Shen was not a fool, he immediately looked at her, his eyes were much sharper

, stroked Linglong's hand, and stood a little away: "Then how do you explain the matter of sitting in the concubine room of the Marquis of Anning's mansion?" Didn't you say that you would go back to your hometown and ask me for permission?"

"Woooooooo......oo Master, the slave has been wronged!"

Linglong bowed directly to the ground, her body twitched, she looked so pitiful, and her mouth was weakly eloquent: "The slave maid was originally going to return to her hometown, but she didn't expect that when she returned to her hometown, she met a peaceful waiting son, and the prince took pity on the slave and maid and had nowhere to go, so for the sake of the late lady, he said a few more words to the slave maid, but he didn't expect to take a fancy to the slave maid...... The slave maid had already left the Prime Minister's Mansion at that time, and she didn't want to cause any more trouble to the master, so she didn't go back, so she had to be taken back to the Hou Mansion by the prince."

When she said these words, Prime Minister Shen didn't say anything for a long time, just looked at her fixedly, and his old eyes didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Linglong was a little anxious, and a thin layer of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead.

What's going on? Does the lord believe what she said?

If it was in the past, she could interpret one or two of what the old man showed him, but the old man was in such a daze, she didn't know what he was thinking at all!

Originally, she wanted to continue to justify her actions and pour dirty water on Zhu Jiu, but at this time, she didn't dare to say a word, for fear that if she said too much, she would not be able to go back when the time came.

Linglong is also smart, and like her name, she knows when to stop.

Prime Minister Shen also closed his eyes at this time, and spit out a sentence with a pale face: "I didn't expect that the person who harbored evil intentions was actually by my side......

"What? Master! No, the slave and the maid have no ......."

Linglong's eyes trembled, and she hurriedly begged for mercy, but before she could kowtow, she was already gagged by Luo Zheng and escorted to the side, not letting her disturb Prime Minister Shen and Zhu Jiu talking.

Zhu Jiu was a little surprised, she thought that Prime Minister Shen Cheng would have to wait for at least one or two rounds of dialectic between her and Linglong to see clearly that this maid was harboring evil intentions, but now she reacted so quickly, which was completely unexpected by her.

Seeing that Prime Minister Shen Cheng had figured it out and decided to investigate the murderer who really killed Shen Xiuzhi, Zhu Jiu didn't hide it from him, and directly told him the news that Cinnabar House had investigated.

Let's start with the prince of the Hou Mansion of Anning, who just mentioned.

Ye Qing, the son of the Marquis of Anning, this person Zhu Jiu has also seen it, because of some misunderstandings, he has a good impression of Shen Xiuzhi, he is a merry man in life, and he treats the girl's family very carefully and politely, so after Linglong followed Shen Xiuzhi and saw him a few times, he secretly promised that when he saw Shen Xiuzhi refusing Ye Qing's overtures, this person was already angry with Shen Xiuzhi.
