Chapter 230: They all lied to me, right?
Xie Yingmian stared into the concubine's eyes and said in a low voice:
"You don't trust the emperor's decision, nor the Six Punishment Department's investigation. You only believe Fang Yilin and the Fang family's one-sided story."
"In your heart, the Fang family is innocent and has been wronged. You will refute anyone who says anything bad about the Fang family. Do you think, with your prejudice already formed, that His Royal Highness Prince Ling has any need to speak?"
The toffee choked.
She didn't expect Xie Yingmian to say it directly.
The concubine felt a little embarrassed: "What do you mean by that?"
"From what you said, I have become someone who doesn't know right from wrong."
Xie Yingmian didn't give the concubine any face at all: "Isn't it?"
The concubine was humiliated and her face turned dark.
Xie Yingmian continued, "If Her Majesty the Concubine were to investigate the cause and effect of this matter, she would know how wrong she was."
"But you didn't investigate and just blindly believed the Fang family's words. Isn't that unclear about right and wrong?"
The concubine's expression changed several times.
She wanted to retort, but didn't know how.
Xie Yingmian watched the concubine's face turn increasingly pale, and said earnestly: "The Six Punishment Department will not wrongly accuse anyone. You have been deceived by Fang Yilin."
The toffee blurted out: "Impossible!"
"Why did Yilin try to murder the Grand Princess?"
"Yilin has no grudge against the Grand Princess, and she knows the Grand Princess's taboos. She would never do such a thing. She has no motive for doing such a thing, and she wouldn't be stupid enough to be caught on the spot."
Xie Yingmian said seriously, "You're right. Fang Yilin wouldn't be that stupid. She knows the Grand Princess's taboos and knows that osmanthus can trigger the Grand Princess's illness."
"She brought the osmanthus sachet in, not to murder the Grand Princess directly, but to frame me."
"Unfortunately, she failed to frame me and ended up hurting herself."
Xie Yingmian didn't explain it clearly.
The world loves a flawless victim.
Once she reveals that she was the one who found the osmanthus sachet on her body and stuffed it back on Fang Yilin, letting Fang Yilin suffer the consequences, the concubine will definitely seize this opportunity to blame her.
"You said Yilin was trying to frame you?" The concubine laughed angrily, "Yilin grew up under my care. She wouldn't do such a thing..."
Before the concubine finished speaking, Xie Yingmian laughed out loud.
The concubine was a little annoyed by the laughter: "What are you laughing at?"
Xie Yingmian stopped laughing and his expression turned cold.
She looked at the Concubine Dowager with pity in her eyes. "Yes, Fang Yilin was raised by the Concubine Dowager. So, she understands the Concubine Dowager very well. She also knows how to trick the Concubine Dowager into fighting for her and how to get her to fight for her interests."
The concubine's heart trembled when she heard what Xie Yingmian said, and her face looked ugly.
Xie Yingmian's words were like a soft knife, piercing her soft spot.
During this period, the Fang family came to cry almost every day.
What she heard most was that the Fang family was wronged and Fang Yilin was wronged and framed.
After being stabbed by Xie Yingmian, she became much more sober.
"You said Yilin wanted to frame you. If she wanted to frame you, why did the osmanthus sachet appear on her?" The concubine asked Xie Yingmian.
Xie Yingmian said calmly, "It's simple. Fang Yilin didn't want to get involved, so he took advantage of Princess Lan Ning."
"She tricked Princess Lan Ning into picking a fight with me, hoping to cause a conflict between us in Donghua Palace, and then take advantage of the chaos to stuff the sachet into my body."
"Fang Yilin's sense of smell was a little off, and he mistakenly gave another sachet to Princess Lan Ning."
"Princess Lan Ning didn't know Fang Yilin was going to frame me by murdering the Grand Princess. She was just following Fang Yilin's instructions. Therefore, Princess Lan Ning didn't know that there was a mistake in this process."
"The osmanthus sachet remained with Fang Yilin until the Grand Princess became ill due to the osmanthus and martial law was imposed in Donghua Palace. Only then was Fang Yilin apprehended."
Xie Yingmian did not say this casually.
After she confessed to Shen Tingsi, Shen Tingsi came up with an excuse for her to avoid subsequent trouble.
The same record can be found in the files of the Six Criminal Departments.
"If you don't believe it, you can go and check the files of the Six Punishments Department. I think Shen Tingsi will give you this favor. You can also ask Princess Deyang, the mother of Commandery Lan Ning."
The Toffee's face turned pale.
Is this the truth?
Fang Yilin was not wronged. Instead, she failed to harm others and ended up hurting herself?
The concubine suddenly remembered what happened at the Lakeside Cottage. That time, Fang Yilin also deceived her and used her. After being exposed, he cried and made a fuss.
The people who hurt her the most are often those closest to her.
The concubine suddenly felt a little discouraged.
Xie Yingmian saw that the concubine was deeply shocked and said nothing more.
Weakening the filter of the other party's family by the Toffee cannot be successful in one go.
It is most appropriate to weaken it little by little by using the method of boiling a frog in warm water, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
After Xie Yingmian said goodbye and left.
The Toffee slumped down in the chair.
Her eyes were empty and she murmured, "They lied to me."
"They're lying to me again."
"Afang, they all lied to me, right?"
Nanny Chang had a complicated expression.
She had wanted to say it a long time ago.
It was obvious that the people in the Fang family were telling lies all the time and their lies were full of loopholes, but the concubine always believed them and was deceived every time.
As a servant, there are some things that are not suitable for Nanny Chang to say.
Nanny Chang could only advise: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding."
"Madam Consort, how about we go meet Princess Deyang?"
"I heard that Princess Lan Ning of Princess Deyang's family is very close to my cousin. Princess Lan Ning is also a person involved in the case, so she would never slander my cousin."
The concubine also had such thoughts.
She immediately asked Nanny Chang to deliver the invitation to Princess Deyang.
That afternoon.
Yumozuo came in a hurry and reported: "Princess."
"Princess Deyang has come to Prince Ling's mansion."
Xie Yingmian raised her eyebrows slightly.
It seems that her boiling frog strategy worked.
The fact that the Concubine Dowager was able to summon Princess Deyang shows that she has successfully made Fang Yilin suspicious.
This is a good phenomenon.
"Keep watching."
Tamamo left in a hurry again.
After a while, Tamamo came back.
"Princess Princess, Princess Deyang has passed away."
"I've asked the maids in the Dowager Consort's courtyard. I heard that Princess Deyang didn't give the Dowager Consort any face at all. She accused the Dowager Consort of being too pampered with Fang Yilin, which is why she raised such a vicious and ruthless person."
"Princess Deyang also said that Fang Yilin took advantage of Princess Lan Ning, causing her to embarrass herself and nearly causing her to be charged with the murder of the Grand Princess. She has made a note of this."
"The Concubine Dowager was very angry. After Princess Deyang left, she smashed everything in the house."
All of this was within Xie Yingmian's expectations.
Princess Deyang is not a pushover like Commander Lan Ning. With the matter becoming so serious, Princess Deyang can tell at a glance that Fang Yilin is using Commander Lan Ning as a weapon.
Princess Deyang was holding a grudge in her heart.
The Concubine Dowager came to ask Princess Deyang, and Princess Deyang naturally had to vent her anger.
This is also the reason why she specifically mentioned Princess Deyang in front of the Concubine Dowager.
