Chapter 1090: Surfacing 2
Qing Lan, who was alias Hu Die'er, was standing aside with her eyes down at this time, and there were two black-armored guards standing behind her, and she said in a deep voice:
"What I said is true."
Wen Shirui, Wen Shige and Wen Shixuan were all standing on the other side, although the three of them were expressionless, but their hearts were tumbling, they didn't expect their father to be rescued, but they got an unexpected result.
The room was very quiet, the falling needles could be heard, and the steward Wen Ying walked in with the ripples of a red dress, and the arrival of a group of four people broke the silence in the room.
"The head of the family, the three young masters, Miss Hua has arrived!"
Ripple didn't expect that she would be able to see the head of the Wen family so soon, although the atmosphere was a little too weird, but she still saluted in a regular manner:
"The younger generation will stay in the immortal city and see the Wen family master!"
"Miss Hua, are you used to staying in Wenjiabao?"
The head of the Wen family asked with a calm face.
"Thank you for your concern, I feel good since I moved into Tsui Chuk Courtyard."
Ripple replied with a smile, and then took the initiative to ask:
"How is the Wen family's body recovering? I heard from Mr. Wen that you were injured."
"Ahem, that's why I asked Miss Hua to come over."
The head of the Wen family said lightly.
"The head of the family doesn't need to thank you, the little girl is your future daughter-in-law, and it is also appropriate to take out the purple flower to save you."
"But Qinglan said that she was threatened by you, so she attacked me."
The Wen family master said as he stared at the ripples' eyes.
"Qinglan?"
Ripple spat out two words with a puzzled face, as if he didn't know this person at all.
"This is a trumped-up charge, can you let Qinglan confront me face to face?"
Ripple was disgruntled and directly denied the accusations of the Wen family.
The head of the Wen family just waved his hand, and the fifth aunt who was standing on the side stepped forward, looked at the ripples and said:
"You are a hermit in the hidden building on the first floor of the world, and it was you who threatened me with my son and asked me to assassinate the head of the Wen family."
Ripple glanced at the other party, and then turned to look at Wen Shirui:
"Isn't her name Hu Die'er? Why did it become Qinglan again? She has children? But none of the three of you looked like she was born!"
"I am a person from Zhongming Tower, the first floor of the world, controlled by others, forced to enter Wenjiabao, and become a dormant chess piece.
After all these years, I thought I would live like this, but unfortunately you still found it.
You saw me on the first day you entered the outer court, and ordered me to strike against the head of the house, and if I refused, you threatened my son's life, and I had to compromise."
Qinglan said with a helpless face.
After hearing this, Ripple did not rush to deny it, but arched his hand and said:
"Master Wen, the three sons, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add! This man's words are full of loopholes, and he can't produce substantial evidence, I don't think you will condemn me by listening to his words!
Wen Shirui looked at Ripple's calm face and said:
"Miss Hua, we can't convict you by listening to the words of the fifth aunt, and we invite you to come to confront both parties face to face, and you are still my fiancée before there is substantial evidence."
Ripple listened to Wen Shirui's words and expressed his satisfaction, and then spoke:
"This fifth aunt said that she is the first person in the world, I believe it, after all, if there is no one behind him, he will not hide for so long.
I deny that he said that I am also the first person in the world, and I reasonably suspect that he is a cause for trouble, in order to hide the real person in the hidden building."
"Where's the evidence?"
Wen Shixuan asked.
"If I am a person from the Hidden Building, since I asked him to assassinate the head of the family, why should I take out the purple cloud flower to save the family master, isn't this a contradiction?"
"Because your goal is not the head of the family, you want to show favor to the Wen family through this matter, and then marry the prince Wen justifiably, and become the future wife of the head of the Wen family is your ultimate goal
。」
Qinglan said coldly.
"Well, you said that in the past, in that case, why did you let Song Jia steal my handkerchief and use the handkerchief to frame me?"
Ripple continued.
"You asked me to do this, the purpose is to clear my suspicions, divert the attention of the Wen family, and make them think that someone is framing you, and by the way, eliminate their competitors."
Qinglan continued.
"Well, it makes sense."
Ripple nodded.
"Miss Hua, do you want to say anything?"
Wen Shige asked.
"These are all said by this fifth aunt Qinglan, what about the evidence?"
Ripple asked rhetorically.
"I am the proof."
"No, that's not enough, I insist you're framing me."
Ripple shook his head.
"There's another way to prove my word."
Qinglan said unhurriedly.
"I want to hear about it."
Ripple said after making a gesture of please.
"In the first floor of the world, the members who can become the hermit of the hidden building are all strictly selected and cultivated, and in order to prevent the hermits of the hidden building from escaping halfway, they all have a poison in their bodies.
This poison will attack on the night of the full moon every month, unless the antidote is taken or the torture of the two heavens of ice and fire will be tortured all night, making life worse than death, tonight is the night of the full moon, whether it is true or not will be known."
Qinglan said coldly.
"What if I take the antidote in advance?"
The ripples seem to be adding difficulty to themselves.
"It doesn't matter, even if you take the antidote in advance, the poison in your body will react on the night of the full moon, as long as you understand pharmacology, you can find out."
After Qinglan finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Wen Shixuan.
Ripple didn't refute this time, and asked calmly:
"Then we have to wait until midnight to prove which of the two of us is telling the truth and who is planting?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, Miss Ben, I hope you are responsible for what you say."
"Naturally, I wouldn't gamble with my life."
After Qinglan finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and stood aside and stopped talking.
Ripple politely saluted the head of the Wen family, and said with a smile:
"Master Wen, in the face of the truth coming out, I think it's better to lock both of us up, so as not to disturb the cultivation of the family master."
The head of the Wen family took a deep look at the ripples and nodded to Wen Shirui.
"Miss Hua, Qinglan, please come here."
Then Wen Shirui personally took the two back to the dungeon again, this time the three Wen brothers did not leave the dungeon again, and one of them sat on a chair, drinking tea while waiting for midnight to come.
After Qinglan came to the dungeon, he shrank in a corner and didn't say a word.
Ripple sat cross-legged facing the three of them, closing their eyes and resting.
Time passed little by little, and the dungeon was very bright because of the presence of torches, so that all the darkness could not be hidden, except for the sound of breathing was the sound of burning torches.
When Qinglan was close to midnight, he turned his gaze to the ripples, but after midnight, the ripples did not react, and still closed his eyes and meditated, which made Qinglan have a bad premonition.
In the end, he even stuck to the dungeon railing, just to observe the ripples up close, and the three Wen brothers also set their eyes on the ripples.
Then there was a quiet night and nothing happened.
Ripple slowly opened his eyes, stood up and said to Wen Shixuan:
"Third Prince Wen, please help me take the pulse and return my innocence."
