Chapter 25: Behind the Scenes
He Wan sobbed and sat down, and the eldest princess of Chengguo got up and walked to her side, supporting her body and whispering comfort.
He Cheng ignored He Zhi's pleading, and grabbed Aunt Li's palm and added a few more strengths.
"Before she died, she entrusted Wan Wan to you, and Wan Wan also called you an aunt when she was young, and she really treats you as an elder, but you want to ruin her life."
He Zhi pinched Aunt Li's neck and asked.
He Yun is the only bloodline left by He Cheng's original wife, because he accepted Emperor Jun's marriage to marry the eldest princess of the country less than a year after losing his wife for less than a year, He Cheng has always felt guilty about He Yun in his heart.
Fortunately, although the eldest princess of Chengguo has an arrogant temperament, although she treats He Yun as well as her biological children, at least she has never been malicious.
But Aunt Li, who has always been the most at ease, is preparing to assassinate He Yun in order to protect herself.
Seeing that Aunt Li's mouth and nose were already overflowing with blood foam, even He Zhi, who was kneeling and begging in front of He Cheng, was kicked away by him angrily, so he had to turn his head and ask He Xiaoxiao for help.
"Xiaoxiao."
"Father, for the sake of your eldest brother, spare Aunt Li." He Xiaoxiao stepped forward and pressed He Cheng's wrist, and pleaded earnestly. "Besides, she is still a member of the Li family in Longxi, so it is better to send her to Zhuangzi outside the city to think about it."
"Father, please spare your aunt's life." He Zhi, who was kicked away, got up, knelt back in front of He Cheng and kept kowtowing.
"Father." He Xiaoxiao echoed and said. "Father, if the matter can be found out smoothly, it is also up to the eldest brother to help me, I just beg you not to kill the eldest brother's biological mother."
He Cheng, whose eyes were scarlet because of his anger, suddenly turned his head to look at He Xiaoxiao, he had really killed people on the battlefield in his early years, and He Xiaoxiao was so frightened by his stare that He Xiaoxiao almost let go of his hand, but listening to He Zhi's crying and begging her to think of her promise, she finally mustered up the courage to look at He Cheng and said again.
He Cheng glanced at He Xiaoxiao deeply, looked down at He Zhi, whose forehead was already red and still kept kowtowing, and finally let go of his hand.
Aunt Li fell to the ground and fainted.
"Big brother, you take Aunt Li down first." He Xiaoxiao took out his handkerchief, squatted down and gently pressed on the wound in front of He Zhi's forehead.
He Zhi covered his wound with a handkerchief and staggered up, Su Yin took two maids from Chunxinyuan to lift Aunt Li up, and followed He Zhi out of the front hall.
"Xiaoxiao." He Cheng, who gradually calmed down, took the tea handed over by He Xiaoxiao and regained his mood and asked. "Who's behind the scenes?"
"Father, why don't you let my sister go down with my grandmother to rest first."
Li didn't expect Aunt Li to do such a thing, she was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling, and she was about to faint.
He Yun also cried so much that his eyes were red and swollen.
"Light red, send the old lady and the eldest lady down for me to rest."
He Xiaoxiao carefully helped He Wan to get up, and the eldest princess of Chengguo personally helped the Li family.
The crowd dispersed, and the antechamber was suddenly much empty.
He Xiaoxiao understood, and the remaining Tanyin withdrew from the front hall with the remaining maids and servants, leaving only He Cheng and the eldest princess of Chengguo and He Xi and He Xiaoxiao's brothers and sisters.
He Xiaoxiao told him that he witnessed a private meeting between Liao Qing and Aunt Li that day, and he begged He Zhi to help with the follow-up investigation, including the green sound who stayed in the mansion, and who was the real person behind the Crazy Horse crash, and even told Liao Qing that he deliberately pushed Liao Qing down.
"Father and mother, please rest assured, now that I have the green sound in my hand, Liao Qing will not only not pursue me for hurting her, but I will also personally ask her for the evidence she used to blackmail Aunt Li in a few days."
He Cheng's eyes looked at the thirteen-year-old daughter in front of him with deep eyes, and his eyes swept over her.
"You jumped over Xi'er and chose to ask Zhi'er for help, just because you wanted to leave a reason to save Aunt Li for him." Ho Cheng spoke.
"Yes, father." He Xiaoxiao was calm. "But I left Aunt Li's life not only for the sake of my eldest brother, but because leaving Green Yin is the same as leaving Aunt Li's life, if the Fang Guogong Mansion really tears his face and wants to investigate me for hurting Liao Qing, I must have evidence in my hand that can immediately bite them."
He Cheng leaned back, a smile rising from the corner of his mouth.
"Sit down." He Cheng rubbed his eyebrows.
The eldest princess of Chengguo was busy pulling He Xiaoxiao to sit down beside her.
"You are so bold now, you dare to hide such a thing from your family." The eldest princess of Chengguo took her hand and examined it carefully, for fear that she would be injured when she pulled with Liao Qing.
"Mother, I'm fine, but I've broken my clothes."
"Not anymore." The eldest princess of Chengguo grabbed her face.
"Got it, Mother." He Xiaoxiao nodded meekly.
He Cheng looked at their mother and daughter with deep eyes, and He Xi noticed it and coughed twice.
"Father, I know I'm wrong."
"What's wrong with you?" He Cheng suddenly laughed. "If you have revenge, you will know how to take proportion, and you know how to protect your family, and leave your hands to prevent future troubles, except that you shouldn't tell me and your mother so late, I can't find anything wrong with you."
The Crazy Horse in front of him accidentally separated from Shi Qing, even if the Fang Guogong Mansion would probably let Liao Qing take all the responsibility, weakening the two things into a fight between the girls in the boudoir.
He Xiaoxiao, a girl under the age of thirteen, came forward to rectify Liao Qing, not only for herself and He Yun, but also for herself and He Yun, so that even if the Fang Guogong Mansion knew that she had injured Liao Qing, it would not be possible to investigate her fault, let alone make a big deal and implicate Zhong Lijue at that time.
"You don't know the severity of this, you are not allowed to go out with only Tanyin in the future." The eldest princess of Chengguo felt scared in her heart. "If you don't want a male guard to follow, I can find a few maids who can do kung fu for you."
"Yes, listen to your mother." He Cheng echoed and said, the eldest princess of Chengguo.
He Xiaoxiao left the front hall, thought about it and went in the direction of Bishui Garden.
Hearing that someone in the courtyard reported that she was coming, Cuirong, the first-class maid beside He Yun, hurriedly greeted her.
"Take me to see my sister?"
"Second Miss came just in time." Cui Rong hurriedly led He Xiaoxiao inside. "Miss has only been crying since she came back, and she doesn't even want to eat dinner, so the second miss should persuade Miss well."
He Xiaoxiao entered the inner room, and saw He Yun sitting sideways in front of the embroidery frame and crying silently.
"Xiaoxiao, you're here?" Hearing the footsteps, He Wan turned around and looked over.
"Sister, beware of crying and breaking your eyes." He Xiaoxiao stepped forward to wipe her tears. "Since she has the intention of harming you, it is not worth it for you to grieve for her."
"yes, I know." He Yun's red and swollen eyes showed a hint of warmth, and he was sorry in his heart. "I'm your sister, and I should have protected you, but you protected me twice and three times."
"We are blood sisters, and it doesn't matter who protects whom. I believe that if anything happens to me in the future, my sister will definitely protect me. ”
