Chapter 242: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Needs to Report to the Emperor



Aunt Yue's eyes were firm. "As long as my people can redress their injustice, I will not fear death."

"The people in the Prince's Mansion won't believe you at the beginning. Even if they do believe you, you might end up in jail." Song Yushu told her the consequences. After all, everyone has the desire to survive, and she couldn't force it.

"I only have one thing to say: as long as my people can rest in peace, I'm not afraid of being torn to pieces!"

Soon, the opportunity arrived. Song Yushu followed her previous practice and went to the kitchen to prepare her "loving snacks" as usual. She also picked trouble with the people in the kitchen and made a lot of noise, which attracted most of the people in the Lin Mansion except those in the old man's courtyard.

Aunt Yue took her people to Lin Zong's yard and disappeared into the rockery in the yard. When she came out again, the people behind her were all carrying a bulging package on their backs.

"Stop!" Lin Zong's confidant just went back to the yard to get something and saw this scene.

Aunt Yue glanced at the person behind her, raised her hand and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and smiled calmly, "Sir, come here, I will tell you in detail what the master told me last night."

This confidant has always coveted Concubine Yue, but because of Lin Zong, he did not dare to overstep the line. He glanced at the people behind Concubine Yue and felt that they did not dare to deal with him.

After thinking for a moment, he moved closer cautiously. Gradually, the two of them got closer and closer, and he could even smell the faint fragrance of Aunt Yue.

Just when he was feeling elated, Aunt Yue suddenly swung her hand that was covering her mouth. A cold light flashed, and he felt a chill on his neck.

"You..." Lin Zong's confidant covered his neck in disbelief, which was bleeding continuously, and reached out in pain to grab Aunt Yue.

The person behind Aunt Yue kicked him away even faster.

"I'll send someone over later and tell him he tried to be rude to me, so I killed him out of fear." Aunt Yue looked coldly at the man still twitching on the ground, "Let's cut his tendons again."

Lin Zong even showed this method to her when they were whispering in each other's ears. God knows how much she wanted to strangle the poisonous snake that was hugging her at that time!

Aunt Yue laughed at herself. After spending so much time with the venomous snake, she too was filled with poison...

After Aunt Yue and her men successfully left the house, they knocked on the door of the Prince's mansion.

Only after seeing Crown Prince Lu Yanzhou did she breathe a sigh of relief. She knelt on the ground and presented the evidence she had collected.

Lu Yanzhou looked at her coldly, "Auntie Yue, I have heard of your name."

If we were to ask who knows the Lin family best, besides Lu Zhixing, there is also Lu Yanzhou. After all, they are sworn enemies, so it is necessary to know each other well.

This woman entered the Lin Mansion after someone trying to curry favor with her slaughtered her entire family. However, she was also Lin Zong's most beloved concubine in recent times, and even Mrs. Lin had to avoid her.

How could a minor official's daughter, who was so favored, betray Lin Zong?

"Lin Zong dotes on me, but the hatred of my clan's annihilation weighs on my heart like a mountain every day, and I cannot relax even for a moment." Aunt Yue looked at the Crown Prince expectantly, "Your Highness loves the people like your own children and is the most fair. That's why I dare to come to you."

"Besides, when I was collecting evidence of Lin Zong's crimes today, I accidentally killed his confidant Jiang Song. I have no way out. I only hope that Your Highness can seek justice for my entire family!"

Upon hearing that Concubine Yue had killed Jiang Song, Lu Yanzhou's expression changed. The gentle and elegant Crown Prince waved his hand and ordered someone to help Concubine Yue up. "You can be considered a miserable person, but this matter concerns the Lin Mansion, so it's no small matter. You also know how influential the Lin family is. Sometimes I also..."

Although Aunt Yue brought the evidence of the Lin family's crimes to the Prince's Mansion, he still needed to discuss with the Emperor how to use this to deal a fatal blow to the Lin family.

Especially since someone from the Supervisory Council reported to the emperor yesterday that a sorcerer from the Japanese royal family was discovered in the Lin Mansion. This time, he wanted to make sure that the Lin Mansion would never be able to recover.

Aunt Yue kowtowed once more, "I am willing to beat the drum to expose the false face of Lin family with the life of my family!"

"To climb the bridge to the drum, you must first be severely beaten with a stick twenty times before walking through the fire. You..." Lu Yanzhou's eyes lit up, but his face did not show it. He shook his head slightly, "You are a weak woman, you absolutely cannot do this."

Concubine Yue kowtowed three times, and blood immediately flowed from her forehead. "As long as my family can rest in peace, I will crawl before His Majesty and report the case as long as I have breath left!"

Over the years, the scenes of the tragic deaths of her clansmen were still vivid in her mind. She hated Lin Zong as much as she hated her own cowardice. She didn't even dare to die until Mrs. Lin wanted to set up a trap to kill her and she was saved by Song Yushu.

She finally realized that if she died quietly in the Lin Mansion, how would she have the face to face her entire clan in the afterlife?

Qiao Dengwen Gu was her own idea. During the time she was fawning over Lin Zong, she heard a lot about the prince.

Knowing that the prince is a hypocrite on par with Lin Zong, only if he does something more ruthless will he believe in his sincerity, believe that there will be changes in the Lin Mansion, and be able to help Song Yushu and King Jing more!

Lu Yanzhou sighed and even walked over personally, helping Aunt Yue up. "I respect your righteousness and would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Dayan. You should rest well first. I need to carefully plan this matter."

"I thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Only after Aunt Yue disappeared from the courtyard did Lu Yanzhou turn to look at Jiang Wenpu. "Tell me, how credible is this? Why do I feel like someone is behind this?"

"Prince Jing is undoubtedly behind this. In my humble opinion, he will never submit to the Lin family." Jiang Wenpu lowered his eyes. "Besides, the Lin family's spies just reported that the atmosphere in the Lin family is not right today. Prince Jing was summoned to Old Master Lin's courtyard early this morning. I believe he will take action today."

Lu Yanzhou pondered, "I'm still uneasy. I need to report this matter to my father."

The successive losses of power in the court made Lu Yanzhou very cautious. He always felt that there was something complicated behind this, so the most urgent thing was to meet his father.

"Yes, Your Highness." Although Jiang Wenpu was anxious, he did not dare to continue to persuade him. Lu Yanzhou had been very suspicious during this period, and he could not reveal his true identity at this time.

But just before getting on the carriage, Lu Yanzhou suddenly asked Jiang Wenpu to stay and brought another strategist chosen by his mother's clan.

"Wenpu, you've been tired lately, and you still need to investigate Aunt Yue's place, so you should stay in the mansion for now."

Jiang Wenpu accepted the order without hesitation, "Yes, Your Highness."

As the carriage left, the counselor beside Lu Yanzhou closed the curtains in confusion, "Your Highness, is there something wrong with Jiang Wenpu?"
