Chapter 18 What do you mean by "I'm going too far"?

"Father, how could my brother-in-law become an assassin? He is a good man, and has always been gentle and kind. How could he do something like assassinating others? Is there any misunderstanding?"

Beside Su Changkong, the head of the Su family.

Su Qingyao's jade-like face was filled with worry and anxiety, and she couldn't help but ask.

Although everyone in the Su family treated Lin Fan as a son-in-law, sometimes his status was even lower than that of a servant.

But she was so simple and kind that she always called him brother-in-law.

She thought that since Lin Fan and her sister had been married, he was her brother-in-law. This would never change.

Every time Lin Fan came back from outside, when he passed by her courtyard, he would bring her delicious candied haws and various preserved fruits, as well as many fun little items, and many nice-smelling sachets and powder boxes.

The Su family has a very strict family tradition. In order to allow Su Qingyao to concentrate on her practice, she is rarely allowed to come into contact with things in the outside world.

Lin Fan knew all this, so he always did it quietly, not letting anyone in the Su family know. This became a little secret between the two of them.

Su Qingyao was therefore closer to Lin Fan, treating him as her own brother-in-law. Sometimes she would even help Lin Fan with advice, telling him about his sister's hobbies and how to please her...

“This is very troublesome.”

Su Changkong frowned as he looked at the situation in front of him. Combining this with the information he had learned from Su Qingyao's maid, he roughly guessed the ins and outs of the matter.

But he never expected that Lin Fan actually had such powerful strength that he not only broke into Xueyue Pavilion, but also caused such a big commotion.

He has been wrong all these years.

"Father, please save my brother-in-law." Su Qingyao raised her little face, full of hope and pleading.

Su Changkong sighed in his heart. If this matter was not handled properly, even the Su family might be implicated. No matter what, Lin Fan was the son-in-law of the Su family.

There is no way the Su family could get out of this situation safely.

Even Su Qinghan, who was beside Jiang Lan, stood quietly with her eyes lowered, not saying a word. It was conceivable that even she was helpless in the situation.

"Mr. Jiang, could there be some misunderstanding about this matter?"

"Although Lin Fan is a loner and does what he wants, he is honest and generous, and has no bad intentions. How could he become an assassin to kill you?"

"I don't know how this happened. Can you first investigate the whole story?"

But at this time, Su Changkong could only take a deep breath, step forward, bow and ask.

Zhao Tianhe looked at this scene, sighed in his heart, and said, "Master Jiang Lan, since we have to deal with it according to Daxia's laws, shouldn't we follow the procedures and find out the cause of the matter first? Otherwise, how can we convince the public?"

"Why, Mr. Zhao wants to protect the assassin who assassinated me?"

Jiang Lan ignored Su Changkong and slowly skimmed the tea leaves with the lid of his cup, saying casually, "My guards who were injured by him are still here. If it weren't for Uncle Ying's protection, I'm afraid I would have been killed by this murderer."

"The evidence is right in front of you. What else does Mr. Zhao want to say? Are you ignoring right and wrong and distorting the facts?"

Zhao Tianhe's face looked grim, and he tried hard to suppress his anger. Jiang Lan clearly knew that this was just a misunderstanding.

But he insisted that Lin Fan intended to assassinate him.

If he didn't take his own status into consideration, he would have cursed him as shameless.

"Jiang Lan, don't go too far. You just heard it. Master Lin mistakenly thought that his sister-in-law Su Qingyao was abducted by your men, so he broke into Xueyue Pavilion on impulse..."

"If you hadn't flirted with his wife first, he wouldn't have gotten so angry and attacked you."

Zhao Dieyi also showed some anger on his face and spoke up for Lin Fan.

After all, Su Qinghan is Lin Fan's nominal wife, and Jiang Lan, the only son of the Prime Minister, is a notorious figure in the entire Daxia territory.

It is not surprising that he would do something disrespectful to Su Qinghan.

After Lin Fan broke into Xueyue Pavilion, he saw his wife being molested by Jiang Lan. How could he tolerate it?

"This elder sister probably mistakenly thought that her younger sister was abducted by your men, so she came to Xueyue Pavilion and was forced to be coerced by you and allowed you to do whatever you want."

Zhao Dieyi's eyes were sparkling, and her anger was hard to hide on her delicate face. She said with full confidence.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

With her intelligence and understanding of Jiang Lan, it was not difficult for her to guess the ins and outs of the matter.

Jiang Lan really wanted to give a thumbs up to Zhao Dieyi for her wit and intelligence. She was worthy of being the confidante who helped Lin Fan a lot in the early stage of the original plot.

In this case, we can also sort out the causes of the matter.

"Just...don't go too far."

Seeing Jiang Lan looking at him with a faint smile, Zhao Dieyi couldn't help but recall the shadow of the past in his mind, and his tone became weaker and softer.

"What do you mean I am going too far? It seems that Zhao Dieyi, you have been practicing in Yaochi Sect for too long and your mind is a little unclear."

Jiang Lan's smile faded, and he said slowly, "I was the one who was falsely accused and misunderstood, and I was also the one who was almost killed by this guy. In the end, I was the one who went too far?"

"Do I have to apologize to this guy again?"

When she heard Jiang Lan calling her by her name, she changed from calling her "Sister Dieyi" as she used to.

Zhao Dieyi was stunned for a moment, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

Jiang Lan's words made her pause. She subconsciously wanted to refute him, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't find any words to refute him.

Because the fact... seems to be true.
