Chapter 286 If there was no Yu Tingwan, how could he invite the Third Elder?
Lin Siqiong looked at Madam Lin like this, her eyes full of disappointment, and she even shook her head, "It's already come to this, and Mother is still saying that you are good to me. You are still deceiving yourself... Mother, you really disappoint me..."
As she spoke, Lin Siqiong looked at Yu Tingwan.
"Sister, when you first came home, I was always against you. I was actually just afraid that you would steal our mother's love. But now, I understand how ridiculously wrong I was before. If I had come to my senses sooner, if all those things hadn't happened before, could we have become the best of sisters?"
Lin Siqiong spoke with sincerity, her eyes were red, and her voice was choked with sobs, as if she was deeply moved and could not control herself.
Looking at Lin Siqiong like this, Yu Tingwan's expression did not change at all, and his eyes were even colder than before.
"Even without everything that happened before, we wouldn't be the best of sisters." Yu Tingwan said coldly, "You and I will never be sisters."
They are two different people, so how could they be sisters?
Lin Siqiong said these things now not because she had suddenly come to her senses, but was just acting for Mrs. Lin.
She knew what Mrs. Lin cared about most, and she wanted to stab Mrs. Lin in the heart.
Her goal has indeed been achieved.
At this time, Mrs. Lin was sitting in a wheelchair, and she looked like she was in great pain.
After hearing Yu Tingwan's answer, Lin Siqiong sighed helplessly, "Sister, I know you're blaming me for targeting you, but... at that time, I had just learned of my identity and knew I wasn't a descendant of the Yong'an Marquisate. I was panicked. It was mother who told me that you were a country woman and might bring shame to the Marquisate, and asked me to pay more attention to you, so I—"
"Lin Siqiong."
Yu Tingwan interrupted Lin Siqiong.
"We're all here, and everyone knows exactly what happened. Who are you acting for? Don't make yourself sound so innocent. You know exactly what kind of person you are, and I know it too."
Lin Siqiong's expression changed again and again, but she finally stopped talking.
Seeing that Lin Siqiong had quieted down, Tuoba Ruoli glanced at her calmly before continuing, "The facts are now clear. I wasn't the one who poisoned her. The people of Dayong so confidently framed me and almost ruined my reputation. How should this matter be resolved?"
Although she didn't mention anyone by name, everyone knew that she was saying this to Chu Huaixu.
She wanted Chu Huaixu to give her an explanation.
Before Chu Huaixu could say anything, Lin Yu spoke first, "This matter has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This is something that happened on our farm. It happened between me and my mother... Li'er, I apologize."
Tuoba Ruoli sneered, "Who are you?"
"I--"
"You are an ordinary citizen, not even an official, yet you dare to call me by my name. You are so brave."
"Li'er, you—"
Lin Yu was halfway through his words when he saw Tuoba Ruoli's frosty face and had to swallow the rest of his words.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yu adjusted his mood and spoke again.
"Your Highness, we were wrong in this matter, but we did not intentionally frame you. Please forgive us for the sake of our past friendship."
Tuoba Ruoli's expression was icy. "You said you didn't mean it, so it wasn't intentional? You said you'd forgive you once, so you'll forgive you. Where will I put my face? If this gets out, what if others follow suit and frame me?"
Lin Yu looked at Tuoba Ruoli in shock, as if he didn't expect Tuoba Ruoli to be so aggressive.
But looking at Tuoba Ruoli like this, Lin Yu also understood that there was no way to easily resolve today's matter.
Thinking this in his heart, Lin Yu could only lower his head and ask respectfully, "Then what does Your Highness want to do?"
"What do you mean by 'what does this palace want to do?' You're saying this as if this palace is deliberately trying to embarrass you. If you haven't succeeded in framing me, are you trying to shift the blame onto me?"
Lin Yu lowered his head even lower, "No... I just want to know how to calm His Highness down..."
Before Tuoba Ruoli could answer, Madam Lin spoke first.
"Yu'er! Don't ask her! We didn't do this in the first place. I don't believe that there is no justice in this world! I also don't believe that the Crown Prince of Dayong is still standing here and would allow such a person to treat us like this!
If Her Royal Highness really doesn't care, then we don't need to beg for mercy. It's useless anyway. Just let her kill us all and vent her anger."
Chu Huaixu looked at Mrs. Lin calmly and was not angry at what Mrs. Lin said.
"Since you all think you are right, and the key to this matter lies with this village head, I will take him back and interrogate him thoroughly. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Without waiting for Tuoba Ruoli to speak, Chu Huaixu looked at Liuyun and said, "Liuyun, take him back now and interrogate him thoroughly."
"yes."
Liuyun stepped forward and was about to take the village head away.
But at this moment, a Xiliang guard suddenly rushed out, drew his sword, and stabbed at the head of the village.
"You dare to frame our Highness? I think you are tired of living! Now I will kill you and seek justice for our Highness."
As he spoke, he rushed forward.
Just as the tip of the sword was about to pierce the head of the village, a small hand suddenly appeared and slapped the guard on the wrist.
It looked like a child's gentle pat, but the man felt pain and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The guard also squatted on the ground, his face showing pain, and his wrist looked like it was broken.
Tuoba Ruoli's originally smug expression completely froze on her face after seeing this scene.
It’s Yu Youning again!
Yu Youning is really going too far!
Yu Youning looked at the guard, "Your idea is not right! Since you think that your Highness was framed, shouldn't you investigate it thoroughly so that your Highness can be cleared of all charges?
But you want to kill him directly. In this way, others will think that your Highness is guilty and wants to kill to silence him, right? "
The guard covered his right wrist with his left hand, his face full of pain, and looked at Yu Youning fiercely, "Anyone who framed our Highness like this should die. Our Highness is innocent, and you don't need to pay him back.
You are all from Dayong, who knows if you will cover up for each other, how can I trust you?"
What he said seemed to make sense, but his eyes were always looking in Tuoba Ruoli's direction.
This is obviously just making far-fetched arguments.
However, no one would argue with him.
There is no point in engaging in these pointless arguments.
Chu Huaixu looked at Liuyun and said, "Hurry up and take the person away. If he dies, you will be held responsible."
Liuyun didn't dare to hesitate this time. He directly picked up the village head, flew up, and disappeared in the yard.
Although for Liuyun, the most important thing is to protect Chu Huaixu's safety.
But now, Chu Huaixu has assigned him other tasks, and he must complete them.
Otherwise, I probably won’t have the chance to stay by Chu Huaixu’s side and protect his safety in the future.
Watching Liuyun taking the person away, Tuoba Ruoli's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and the look she gave the guard was as if she wanted to eat him.
waste!
What a complete waste!
At such a close distance and with such a sudden attack, he was not able to kill the man and he even let him escape!
But no matter how angry she was, when she looked at Chu Huaixu, she could only say with a forced smile, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said he wants to find out the truth, then I will wait and see. I just hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't find out to the end and still say that this was my fault."
Chu Huaixu raised his eyebrows. "Are you saying that if it turns out to be you, then it must be a false accusation?"
Tuoba Ruoli's expression became uglier again, but this time she didn't say anything.
Seeing that she was silent, Chu Huaixu spoke again, "The matter here has been resolved, why don't you leave?"
Tuoba Ruoli said with a cold face, "I want to stay and reminisce about the past..."
"But weren't you just attacking them? What good things are you talking about?" Yu Youning looked at Tuoba Ruoli strangely, "You talk so strangely!"
Tuoba Ruoli then remembered that her previous words had completely severed her relationship with Lin Yu and his mother. No one would believe her if she said she wanted to stay and reminisce about the past.
Since there was no way to stay, Tuoba Ruoli could only stand up and shook her sleeves vigorously, "Then I'll leave first!"
After she said that, she walked out quickly.
A group of people followed her and quickly disappeared into the room.
After watching them leave, Chu Huaixu and Yu Youning said, "Youning, let's go too!"
Yu Youning nodded, but did not move from where she was. Instead, she looked at Yu Tingwan and said, "Mother, shall we go?"
"Well, let's go!"
Just as he finished saying this, before he could move, Mrs. Lin suddenly looked over.
"Seeing your biological mother sitting in a wheelchair, unable to stand up, are you so indifferent? After all, you crawled out of my belly. Without me, would you exist? Have your adoptive parents only taught you to be ungrateful?"
Mrs. Lin's words came out so suddenly that everyone present was stunned.
Even Lin Yu looked at Madam Lin in disbelief, "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about!"
If it weren't for Yu Tingwan, how could he have invited the Third Elder?
If it weren’t for the Third Elder, my mother wouldn’t be sitting in a wheelchair saying these words, she would probably still be lying in bed like a living dead!
