Chapter 33: You Lost From the Beginning
The Toffee finally calmed down.
After hearing Fang Yilin's words, he became excited and coughed even more violently.
"Even now, you're still biting others, cough cough cough!"
Since her son's life was at stake, the concubine became furious.
"Okay, if you insist on not answering, I will send you to prison."
When Fang Yilin heard the word "prison", he almost exploded with anger.
If she was really sent to prison by the Concubine Dowager, it would be equivalent to her breaking off relations with Prince Ling's Mansion.
By then, she will become a laughing stock in the capital.
She often bullied others by relying on her status as the Concubine Dowager and Prince Ling.
If these people knew that she had broken off relations with Prince Ling's Mansion...
Fang Yilin couldn't bear to imagine the consequences.
She had to find a way, a foolproof way.
Fortunately, Prince Ling is dead.
As long as she can successfully fool people, there is still room for maneuver.
"Aunt Dowager." Fang Yilin quickly adjusted his mood.
"I really didn't lie."
"On the night of my cousin's wedding, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that my cousin had passed away. When I woke up, my heart was pounding so badly that I hurried to Prince Ling's mansion."
"After arriving at Tanyueyuan, that feeling has become even stronger."
Fang Yilin covered his chest with his hands, frowning tightly:
"The closer I got to my cousin, the more my heart ached. When I got to his door, my heart ached so much that it almost broke. I think this is the unique telepathy between my cousin and me."
"I was grief-stricken and sad at the time, and the maids sweeping the yard kept talking about a corpse. I thought something had gone wrong with the wedding, so I blurted out those words."
"Aunt Dowager, everything Lin'er said is true. If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning."
Xie Yingmian laughed out loud.
Her laughter was loud, a clear mockery.
Fang Yilin was a little annoyed by Xie Yingmian's laughter: "What are you laughing at?"
Xie Yingmian laughed and said, "Of course I'm laughing at you."
"Miss Fang, you don't seem to understand the situation yet."
"Just a friendly reminder, Prince Ling is still alive and well. Your telepathy doesn't seem to be working very well."
Xie Yingmian's words hit Fang Yilin like a bolt from the blue.
Fang Yilin's eyes widened: "What did you say?"
"Is he still alive?"
"How is it possible..."
Fang Yilin realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly covered his mouth.
Xie Yingmian asked back, "You are a really interesting person."
"Sometimes it's telepathy, sometimes I'm giving you hints, and sometimes it's just me listening to the maids chatting."
"I'm very curious. Prince Ling is alive and well. How did you come up with all this?"
Fang Yilin's face looked extremely ugly.
She finally understood why Aunt Toffee reacted so strongly.
Prince Ling was not dead, but she insisted that he was dead.
Under this premise, all her excuses seem like jokes.
The more she defended herself, the more the Dowager Aunt became convinced that she was lying.
No wonder the more she talked, the angrier Aunt Dowager became.
She was fooled, she was fooled by Xie Yingmian!
Fang Yilin was so angry that his whole face was twisted, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Xie Yingmian seemed to be spitting fire.
Xie Yingmian's lips curled up.
She had consulted Fu Mo,
If a family that is celebrating a wedding has a funeral during the time of the wedding, they will not hang a funeral banner within seven days.
In other words, even if Prince Ling really died, Prince Ling's Mansion would not remove the wedding invitations and red lanterns and hang white lanterns to set up the mourning hall until the seventh day after the wedding.
Fang Yilin was in a coma for two days and had no chance to find out any news.
After waking up, Fang Yilin was busy seeking revenge and did not inquire whether Prince Ling was dead.
Therefore, Fang Yilin's information was still from two days ago.
Under the influence of information asymmetry, Fang Yilin lost from the very beginning.
"Miss Fang, are you going to quibble again?" Xie Yingmian said with a half-smile.
Fang Yilin looked at Xie Yingmian's evil smile and dug his fingers into her flesh.
Fang Yilin knew that she had lost this time, completely.
Continuing to quibble would only increase Aunt Dowager Toffee's disgust.
"Aunt Toffee."
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
"I was wrong. I was wrong."
"To be honest, someone passed on the news to me, telling me that my cousin would not live to see the dawn."
Fang Yilin knelt on the ground, kowtowed and cried, gasping for breath.
"It was already daybreak when I received the news. I thought my cousin had passed away, so I rushed to Tanyue Courtyard desperately, wanting to see him one last time."
"But I couldn't get into my cousin's room, so I could only cry at the door."
"Aunt Dowager Toffee, please believe me."
"I didn't poison my cousin. I really just received the news. I didn't check whether the news was true or not, which caused Aunt Dowager to misunderstand. I'm sorry."
The concubine looked at Fang Yilin's bruised forehead and her anger subsided a little.
After calming down, she also realized that poisoning Yilin would not do any good.
She was more inclined to believe that someone had passed the message to Fang Yilin.
"Tell me!" asked the concubine, "who spread the news?"
Fang Yilin bit his lip.
Among the concubine's personal maids, Nanny Fang was the spy planted by the Fang family, responsible for conveying all matters concerning the concubine, big and small, to the Fang family.
In order to increase credibility, Nanny Fang is the best candidate.
"It's Madam Fang." Fang Yilin said.
"Aunt Dowager, Nanny Fang is also kind-hearted. She knows that I love my cousin, and seeing that my cousin is in a bad condition, she sent me a message, asking me to come and see my cousin for the last time..."
The Toffee was not surprised at all.
Among the maids around her, only Nanny Fang was arranged by the Fang family.
"Madame Fang, come out!"
Nanny Fang was shocked: "The servant is here."
The concubine said coldly, "You were the one who spread the news?"
Nanny Fang knelt down tremblingly: "Your servant, your servant..."
After receiving Fang Yilin's warning look, Nanny Fang's face turned dejected.
"Yes, it is my servant."
"I felt sorry for my cousin and Prince Ling, so I foolishly passed on the news. I meant no harm, and I beg the Queen Mother to have mercy on me."
If the Concubine Dowager had not seen the "Reconstruction of the Scene", she might have believed what Nanny Fang and Fang Yilin said.
After watching the reconstruction of the scene, one of them lied continuously and the other was two-faced.
She subconsciously didn't believe such polite words.
Nanny Chang glanced at Xie Yingmian seemingly unintentionally.
Xie Yingmian happened to look over.
She gave Nanny Chang a meaningful smile in return.
Nanny Chang was smart and perceptive, and immediately understood what Xie Yingmian meant.
She stood up and said, "My Lady Dowager, please leave this matter to me."
"I will find a way to make Madam Fang confess everything she has done."
Nanny Fang's face was pale.
Nanny Chang looks kind, but she is actually cruel and ruthless.
Just now she slapped Nanny Chang hard again.
If she fell into the hands of Nanny Chang, she would be skinned alive if not dead.
Nanny Fang's body was as limp as a puddle of mud, and she knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
The Concubine Dowager knew Nanny Chang's methods.
Nanny Fang secretly passed on the news of Danyue Courtyard, which violated her bottom line. She ordered Nanny Chang to force out everything at any cost.
Nanny Chang called the people from the Law Enforcement Hall to come and take the limp Nanny Fang away.
The concubine looked at Fang Yilin.
Fang Yilin kowtowed loudly.
She used great strength and banged her forehead hard on the stone slab.
Blurred blood and flesh flowed down his cheeks.
His face was covered with traces of tears and blood, which was horrifying and terrifying.
