Since Lin Xiafeng came back for revenge, and since he would not let Ling Jingxuan go, and Dugu Yu would not let her go, how could he possibly let the Qin family go!
For the sake of the prince? Don't be ridiculous, the prince is just a tool for her revenge!
Qin Qingyao wouldn't believe it. How much face could that idiot have in front of Lin Xiafeng!
"I can't explain why, but Second Brother, if you don't want to be a weapon they can use to threaten the Qin Family and the Wuling Palace, or even a weapon they can use to hurt us, then you should resign from your position as the Crown Prince's tutor while your leg is injured and you can't walk!"
"Don't help the prince anymore. Otherwise, either you will collect my body or I will collect yours. Think about it carefully!"
Qin Qingyao knew Qin Yuelu well. He had read so many books by sages and his head was full of great principles. If he was told that the prince was not a wise leader, he would never leave the prince, because no matter how bad the master was, he had to be loyal and could not betray him!
The only thing that made him think carefully about this matter was the safety of his family! He could sacrifice himself for the greater good, but did he not care about so many brothers and sisters, relatives and parents?
When Qin Qingyao returned home, she went to Dugu Yu's study and sat there in a daze, because she was afraid that if she said something, the four people in the dark would hear her. She had to be very careful in the palace.
She could only relax when she went back to her room to sleep and when she was with Dugu Yu.
Dugu Yu had already circled around her twice, but she didn't react. Finally, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "What are you thinking about?"
Qin Qingyao blurted out, "Why didn't my second brother die?"
"What?" Dugu Yu could hardly believe his ears. What was this girl thinking?
"No, of course I hope my second brother is okay. What I mean is..." Qin Qingyao organized her words and decided to start from the beginning, "I met Ling Jingxuan yesterday. He said that it was Lin Xiafeng who assassinated the prince and framed him."
Dugu Yu twitched his lips. Is this so bizarre? Lin Xiafeng did everything? Is she human or a deity? Is she omnipotent?
"It's strange and hard to believe, right? I also think it's impossible."
"She's just a little girl, and the experts under her command are all... all sent out. Where can she find someone she can trust to carry out an assassination in the Crown Prince's palace?"
"Even if she could find such a person, the Crown Prince is stuck in the palace all day, and she hasn't been out lately, let alone in. How could she know that the Crown Prince would go to the temporary palace that day?"
Dugu Yu nodded and waited for Qin Qingyao to continue, "Although my second brother was injured, he survived. This is really not like Lin Xiafeng's style."
"so what?"
"My second brother's condition improved today. I went back to see him, and he told me that the reason he and the prince suddenly decided to go to the palace was because of Lin Xiafeng's invitation."
"But they were attacked as soon as they got there, and Lin Xiafeng didn't show up from beginning to end. If she didn't know about it, why didn't she go after the appointment?"
Dugu Yu: “…”
If Qin Yuelu died, no one would ever know about Lin Xiafeng's meeting with the prince. She would still be a weak woman who never left the house, and no one would suspect her.
Even if Ling Jingxuan had some suspicions, or even knew it was her, so what? Where was the evidence?
Saying that it was Lin Xiafeng was even more unbelievable to the Emperor and all the civil and military officials than saying that the Prince directed and acted the whole thing himself. They would only think that Prince Duan was incompetent and was just accusing others!
"Whether she teamed up with the Crown Prince, or the Crown Prince was completely unaware and was simply being framed by Lin Xiafeng, no one knows. But no matter what, she was definitely involved!"
"Then why didn't she kill my second brother when she had such a good opportunity? Did I misunderstand her all along? Did I think too badly of her?"
…
Not to mention that Qin Qingyao couldn't understand why her second brother was able to save his life, Lin Xiafeng actually didn't expect it either.
She thought Qin Yuelu would definitely die, and she made up this incident to frame Prince Duan just as a coincidence. Her main purpose was to take Qin Yuelu's life.
One is to teach Qin Qingyao a painful lesson and let Qin Qingyao know the price of going against her!
The second is to alienate the relationship between the Qin family and the prince, causing estrangement and conflict between them, and then slowly undermine the trust between them, so that the prince will not get in the way when she deals with the Qin family in the future!
She really stayed at home and did not go out. She was waiting for the news of Qin Yuelu's death and waiting to see the Qin family and Qin Qingyao go crazy.
But after waiting for two days, the news came that Qin Yuelu had been rescued, and Prince Duan was only put in solitary confinement for three days, and then he ran out to investigate the case on his own?
She had carefully planned and laid out such a big scheme, but in the end, she got nothing? She was kidding me!
"Why didn't Qin Yuelu die?"
Lin Xiafeng looked at Mo Dacheng and He Xiang, her face still gentle, as if she didn't care about the result at all, just chatting and asking casually.
"I..." Mo Dacheng lowered his head, his face showing some fear and some annoyance, but no regret.
Lin Xiafeng finally figured it out. It wasn't that Mo Dacheng couldn't kill Qin Yuelu, he was just letting him go on purpose!
"What's wrong? Can you tell your sister?"
Mo Dacheng said, "I think Qin Bandu is a good person. I... I can't do it!"
"Good guy?" Lin Xiafeng smiled amiably, as if he had heard something amusing. "Why do you think he's a good guy?"
"When Lord Qin, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, was helping me investigate a case, he took me to stay at the Qin family for two days. I met Qin's tutor. Although he doesn't talk much, he is very gentle and treats me very well."
"Minister Qin and Madam Qin have been very kind to me. Lord Qin has done me a favor. They helped me find out the truth and brought Luo Haode to justice. I... I don't want to hurt them."
Mo Dacheng grabbed Lin Xiafeng's arm and begged innocently, "Sister, since it was Prince Duan who hurt you, can I help you kill him?"
"The Qin family is here to help the prince. You two should be on the same side. If we become enemies with the Qin family and the prince finds out, won't he be angry with you?"
"Haha, do you think everyone in the Qin family is a good person?" Lin Xiafeng looked at He Xiang and asked, "He Xiang, as someone who has served the Qin family for so many years, what do you think?"
He Xiang sneered, "What do you say? Of course they're all a bunch of hypocrites with beastly hearts, not a single one of them is a good person!"
They beat her for no apparent reason, sold her to a beast, and killed her lover, her only support! Good people? A family like that is simply a devil!
She looked at Mo Dacheng with a stern expression, "Mo Dacheng, you're so gullible. You've only lived in the Qin family for a few days? They're just pretending, and you believe them?"
"Qin Yuefeng is helping you investigate the case because that's what he should do. He's doing it for his own achievements and to gain merit. Do you really think he's doing it for you?"
"After solving your case, he was immediately promoted and transferred to the Imperial Clan Court as a third-rank official!"
"Do you know where the Imperial Clan Court is? It's the place that manages the royal family. Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to be polite when he sees him!"
"He received such a huge benefit, but did he say thank you? After your case was over, did anyone in the Qin family pay any attention to you? Did they care about you?"
"Who has always cared for you and taken care of you? Who thinks of you like a family member and comes to see you whenever he has time?"
He Xiang's words were righteous, but she still didn't understand that the Qin family sold her because she betrayed their master.
Lu Fuman is a beast because he wanted to buy a virgin girl as his wife, but she had already had an affair with Liu Shiyuan, so Lu Fuman was so angry and embarrassed!
Liu Shiyuan's death really had nothing to do with Qin Qingyao. It was Miss Lin, the best girl in the world in her eyes, who killed him. It was Ling Jingxuan who had someone do it!
Regarding the matter of Mo Dacheng, Qin Yuefeng has investigated countless cases. If every victim still wants the Qin family to be responsible for their food, clothing, housing, transportation and humanistic care after the case is solved, then why not just open a charity?
What's more, Qin Qingyao and Qin Yuefeng both looked for Mo Dacheng afterwards. They really wanted to help him, but Lin Xiafeng found him first and hid him in this remote courtyard.
He Xiang complains about everything all day long, thinking that the whole world has wronged her, and she tries her best to pass on this negative emotion to Mo Dacheng.
He didn't even think about the fact that Qin Qingyao and Qin Yuefeng didn't know where he was hiding, but he knew which way the Qin family's gate and the Wuling Palace's gate faced.
If he really wanted to and needed their help, he could come to them at any time and they would not ignore him, but he didn't!
He stayed in this small courtyard all day, listening to He Xiang, a resentful woman who hated the Qin family to the core, brainwashing him!
Seeing that Mo Dacheng looked bewildered and seemed to be about to cry, Lin Xiafeng reached out and gently patted his head, "Don't be angry, He Xiang doesn't mean to be mean to you. She's doing this for your own good. She's just worried that you'll be deceived."
"I know I made things difficult for you before. You don't want to hurt the Qin family, and neither do I want to hurt others. From now on, I will never let you attack the Qin family again. I promise!"
"Thank you, sister."
"It doesn't matter, you're my brother!"
He Xiang was furious, looking at the brother and sister with a look of disapproval, "Miss! How can we be the ones hurting them? No matter what people say about you outside, you still can't be at peace!"
"Why can they bully others like this? They are slandering your reputation like this and basically forcing you to die! You are always so soft-hearted and always get bullied like this. I really can't stand it!"
The so-called slander against her reputation was the war in Chiayi. Lin Xiafeng was scolded by people in Fenghuaxueyue.
She wanted to manipulate public opinion to harm Dugu Yu, but ended up encountering the tornado of Qin Qingyao, which capsized her boat and drowned her.
She had no good intention to blame others, but when Mo Dacheng and He Xiang heard the rumors outside, they were furious. They wanted to rush to Wu Ling Palace, drag Dugu Yu and Qin Qingyao out, and kneel in front of Lin Xiafeng to apologize to her!
