Chapter 134 Digging Your Own Grave
Su Chenyu is the variable that Lord Tan is most worried about. When Lord Tan heard the old lady ask this, he also looked at Su Chenyu.
He secretly decided in his heart that if Su Chenyu insisted on stopping him, he would definitely take the old lady away one day.
Su Chenyu just sighed deeply: "There are witnesses and evidences. Nanny Fang's reply just now is even more incoherent, which shows that there is something fishy. As the master, I should set an example and must not be partial. Since there are doubts about the old lady and Nanny Fang, Lord Tan should take them back for investigation."
Hearing Su Chenyu say this, Lord Tan felt relieved.
"Master Fengyi, are you really so heartless?" The old lady widened her eyes, unable to believe that she could say such words.
"Madam, Lord Tan has always handled cases fairly. If you were innocent, Lord Tan would not frame you. I will definitely follow this case closely and will not let anyone ruin your reputation."
It not only shows that he will not show favoritism, but also appropriately expresses his concern for the old lady.
Seeing that the old lady did not answer, Su Chenyu continued, "As long as you don't do anything to Aunt He, I will ensure that you will be able to get out of the prison."
"Master, don't worry. I will investigate this case seriously and there will be no mistakes or omissions. If you are worried, you can handle this case with me." Lord Tan became more respectful to Su Chenyu. At least this master did not use his power to oppress others.
Su Chenyu looked around and said, "Madam, there were several wives of the Imperial Censors present today. They are all witnesses. Are you still worried?"
The old lady immediately felt like she had shot herself in the foot. It was precisely because there were several wives of the censors watching here that the people present could not show any favoritism.
Originally, she had specially invited a few ladies to come in order to pressure Su Chenyu, but now she got herself implicated.
Soon, the official took the old lady and Nanny Fang away. Lord Tan bowed to Su Chenyu and Li Liyanqing before leaving.
What happened just now was so dramatic. They originally came to celebrate the old lady's birthday, but the birthday girl was taken away by the police during the birthday banquet. This is simply... too outrageous.
The birthday banquet turned into a farce, and it would probably be the talk of the town for a long time to come.
However, Su Chenyu's various behaviors on that day were enough to let everyone see her respect for the old lady. No matter how the old lady behaves in the future, people outside will only think that there is something wrong with the old lady, and will not think that Su Chenyu and Li Liyanqing are unfilial to the old lady.
The guests were all observant and, seeing this, they all made excuses to leave.
All the joy in the room faded away, and only desolate sadness remained.
Yao looked at this scene and felt panic in her heart.
She just wanted the officials to scare the old lady at her birthday party, not to lock her up. Now, the situation has gone beyond her control, what should she do?
Li Liting didn't dare to speak in front of so many officials just now. Now that the officials have left, he dared to speak: "Yan Qing, mother has been taken away, you must rescue her!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he used an imperative tone.
Li Liyanqing glanced at him and said, "Uncle is showing off now. Why didn't you show up just now? Besides, the mistress has already said that she will follow up on this case. As long as the old lady hasn't done it, there will be no problem. Could it be that Uncle thinks that the old lady has killed Aunt He?"
"He's just a servant, so if he dies, he dies. I really don't know why you care so much?" Li Liting said with a frown.
"If you have something to say, go and tell it to the prefect of Jingzhao. It's no use telling it to me!" Li Liyanqing was very tough, and Li Liting finally calmed down. Then he looked at Li Liqiuhong and said, "Qiuhong, now that you have entered the Hanlin Academy, it's time for you to do something for your family. Find a way to rescue the old lady."
Lili Qiuhong had already lost hope in Lili Ting, but she still felt chilled when she heard him say that: "In the past, the old lady loved Lili Yu the most. If we talk about contributing to the old lady's affairs, you and Lili Yu should be ranked first, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Liting immediately became angry: "You have grown wings now, how dare you talk to me, your father, like this?"
