Chapter 396 Think Twice Before Acting
Yin Li did not answer Liu Se's words.
The force he used was not strong. Hu Xiner woke up slowly after lying in bed for a while. As soon as she regained consciousness, she rushed to find Mu Qing.
Yin Li did not stop him, but took out a key: "Do you still want to know the truth?"
The truth? Hu Xin'er paused, turned back, and looked at the key in surprise and doubt: "What is this...?"
Yin Li glanced at Liu Se and said, "This is what your mother needs, the key to unlock the chains."
"Where did you get it from?" Hu Xin'er was a little incredulous.
Yin Li actually helped her get the key? But how did he know what they agreed on?
Yin Li said in a somewhat arrogant tone, "This key is hanging around your grandfather's neck. It's just a key. I can just take it at will."
"How do you know the key is hanging around his neck?" Hu Xiner was full of questions.
Yin Li smiled mysteriously: "I won't tell you!"
This detail was not important, so Hu Xiner didn't think much about it. After all, Yin Li couldn't have lied to her.
She looked at the key and gradually calmed down. If she rushed out now, she would not be able to help Mu Qing, but might even implicate him.
Logically speaking, she should now untie Liu Se's chains and get the truth about the Lu family tragedy.
However, there was some hesitation in her eyes.
Just now, Mu Qing had exposed the prince's true identity outside, and the prince, in a rage, massacred everyone in the yard.
The ministers absolutely cannot tolerate such a crown prince. Even if Your Majesty dotes on the prince, he will never tolerate such tyrannical behavior.
With such a crazy son, isn't he afraid of having his throne taken away?
Therefore, from today onwards, the Crown Prince's reputation will be ruined. Even if Your Majesty tries his best to save his life, he will definitely be imprisoned in the clan residence and will never be able to turn things around.
A big part of the reason why Hu Xiner wanted to get evidence was to overthrow the prince and protect the Lu family.
Now, what the Lu family has to guard against is only the prince's secret revenge, not producing evidence.
When Liu Se saw the key, she showed a look of surprise: "Xin'er, my dear daughter, quickly untie the chain for me, and I will tell you the truth right away!"
Hu Xiner looked at Yin Li, wanting to ask for his opinion.
Unexpectedly, Yin Li handed the key to her directly: "Xin'er, make your own decision."
Liu Se narrowed her eyes, seeing what Hu Xin'er was thinking, and urged her, "My dear daughter, have you forgotten what I promised you before? You even brought me birthday peaches. Don't worry, as long as I break free from my chains, I will treat you well..."
She continued to seduce Hu Xin'er.
Yin Li said seriously, "Xin'er, I support all your decisions. After all, this is a matter between your two families. But I advise you to think twice before you act. After all, when Liu Se appeared on the ground, it was also the time when you and Lu Yunjue separated!"
Liu Se's voice was sharp: "Xin'er! Don't listen to this monster's lies. He has fallen in love with you, so he doesn't want you to get any evidence. He wants Mu Qing to die so that he can have you all to himself!"
"What do you mean? Isn't the Crown Prince about to be overthrown? Why is Mu Qing still in danger of being killed?"
Hu Xin'er didn't understand what the two people meant. She looked at Yin Li in panic: "Do you know something too?"
Yin Li frowned and said, "I can only say that the Lu family tragedy is indeed not that simple. If you knew the truth, it might be a good thing for the Lu family, but it would do you no good at all!"
Hu Xin'er asked in confusion, "Can you explain it more clearly? Is there something else behind the Lu family tragedy? Is there another murderer behind this?"
If you think about it carefully, who covered up the Lu family tragedy back then is still a mystery.
After the crown prince was overthrown, will the Lu family face a greater crisis?
When she thought of this, her heart skipped a beat.
Seeing her wavering, Liu Se immediately burst into tears. Her beautiful tearful face became even more moving in the candlelight. "Xin'er, you're a smart child. Don't believe him. I'm your biological mother. I've been imprisoned in this dungeon for nearly twenty years! Do you know how I've been through all these years?"
When she came over, Hu Xiner immediately took a few steps back, worried that she would snatch the key.
Seeing her reaction, Liu Se looked miserable: "Mother knows I scared you before, but that's because I've been imprisoned and tortured in this place for too long! You untied my chains for me, and I'm grateful to you. How could I hurt you?"
Seeing that Yin Li refused to answer, Hu Xin'er looked at her warily: "Answer my question just now!"
Liu Se sobbed and said, "I will only answer if you save me."
She looked extremely pitiful, her eyes full of pleading.
Yin Li whispered, "Don't be soft-hearted, she's just pretending."
Liu Se sobbed and cried, "Yin Li, even if you like my daughter, you can't kill her husband to get her, right?"
Hu Xiner knew Yin Li's feelings for her and also believed in Yin Li's character.
She hesitated again and again, and her eyes gradually became firm: "Yin Li, I want to untie her chains."
Yin Li nodded: "Then open it. I have made all the necessary preparations. If she doesn't keep her promise, I will capture her and handcuff her again."
"Thank you." Hu Xin'er said softly, "But I'm sorry too."
It is truly a rare blessing to be able to meet such a person and be treated so cherishedly.
But their story can only end here. If they go one step further, they will cross the line.
Yin Li opened his folding fan to hide his expression.
He didn't want to show his embarrassment in front of Hu Xiner.
He smiled bitterly behind the fan: "You never have to say sorry to me. I was just, wishful thinking."
Hu Xiner took the key and untied the chain on Liu Se's wrist.
"Click" the keyhole opened and the cold handcuffs fell to the ground.
"Hahahahahaha!" The moment he regained his freedom, Liu Se immediately laughed triumphantly, his state was extremely crazy, which made people feel scared.
Hu Xin'er frowned and asked, "The transaction is complete. Can you tell me what happened back then?"
Unexpectedly, Liu Se suddenly hugged her: "I gave you a life before, and now it's your turn to save me! Good! Great!"
The moment she was hugged, Hu Xiner felt her heart stopped beating.
Fortunately, Yin Li pulled Liu Se away in time: "Don't act crazy!"
Hu Xiner raised her voice: "Liu Se, what is the truth? What did Yin Li mean when she said that I would have to separate from her when you show up? Tell me quickly, or I'll cuff you again."
Liu Se really stopped when he heard this: "It's very simple, because I killed Prime Minister Lu."
