Chapter 1154 Making the Right Posture
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Qin Nanyan, Wang Bo tugged at Lin Yuesha's sleeve, pulled her aside, and gossiped, "I was wondering how Qin Nanyan could be so resourceful. She even knows where the side gate of the Prince's Mansion is located. She knows the Prince's Mansion's villa better than I do. The case is solved. She bribed Wang Bo."
Uncle Wang is the steward of the Prince's villa and usually lives in the village.
Xu Da couldn't believe it; it was just that the timing wasn't right, otherwise Qin Nanyan would have already become the owner of the Prince's villa.
"Cousin, that's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore."
Lin Yuesha reminded Xu Da that it was best not to inform the Prince of Luo, as it was better to avoid trouble.
"Am I a gossipy person, cousin?"
Xu Da was furious. He regarded Lin Yuesha as his own sister, so he said whatever came to mind.
Lin Yuesha nodded like a chick pecking at rice. To be fair, Xu Da was that kind of person.
"What kind of look is that? Cousin, don't forget, I knew about Qi Heng hiding his identity back then, but I never betrayed him."
In his desperation, Xu Da used the example of self-destruction.
He shouldn't have said anything, because after he did, Lin Yuesha's expression changed. She grabbed Xu Da's arm and said angrily, "Cousin, how dare you say that? You keep saying I'm your own sister, why did you hide this from me?"
While holding Qi Heng accountable, the others who helped cover it up should not be let off the hook, especially Xu Da.
"My dear sister, if I had told you, would I still be alive today?"
Qi Heng was a ruthless and vicious man; he had already killed him to silence him.
Xu Da's actions were quite wise in order to save his life, and his cousin, being a magnanimous person, should understand.
"Wang Bo went in to announce the arrival of the Prince of Luo. What if the Prince of Luo refuses to see the guest?"
Qin Nanyan clenched her fist, lowered her head and pondered for a moment before saying, "Sister Yue Sha, Lord Xu, you two go in first."
"Sister Qin, wouldn't you say you're backing out at the last minute?"
Lin Yuesha glared at Xu Da, then said to Qin Nanyan, "We're already here, you..."
"It's not that I'm backing down, it's just that it's inconvenient for me to go in right now."
Qin Nanyan pointed to the empty basket Lin Yuesha was carrying and laughed, "You've come to apologize, it's not appropriate for an outsider like me to be here."
The Prince's Mansion has a lake, a waterside pavilion, and a garden. Qin Nanyan plans to take Yuli there for a stroll. She will send someone to inform Lin Yuesha after she has resolved the matter.
"Alright."
Lin Yuesha thought for a moment and realized that there were indeed some things she needed to say to her uncle quietly. After all, she had come to sincerely apologize.
"Our master invites Lord Xu and Madam Qi into the house."
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Uncle Wang trotted out the door, speaking solicitously.
When the Prince of Luo learned that Xu Da and Lin Yuesha had managed to get in, the corners of his mouth turned up noticeably, and it took him a long time to suppress his joy.
"Miss Qin, let me show you around the waterside pavilion."
When Wang Bo saw Qin Nanyan, he immediately gestured for her to come in.
On the way into the courtyard, Xu Da exclaimed repeatedly, "How much silver did Qin Nanyan spend to bribe Uncle Wang?!"
The effect was very long; several years passed, but Uncle Wang remained as respectful as ever.
It seems that Uncle Wang is a very good informant.
Inside the room, Prince Luo was lying on the bed. He twitched his ears and saw that Xu Da and Lin Yuesha had entered the outer room.
"Waaah, Uncle, I'm here!"
Lin Yuesha let out a loud scream, startling Luo Wang, who was listening to the noise, so much so that he almost fell off the bed.
"Uncle, Yue Sha is so sorry. She's an ungrateful wretch. Please forgive her this once!"
Lin Yuesha winked at Xu Da, who immediately understood and said, "Good brother, we haven't seen each other for so long, you won't blame me, will you? I've come to see you."
As soon as Xu Da finished speaking, Lin Yuesha felt that something was wrong with what he said, but she couldn't figure out what it was.
"Xu Da, I'm not dead yet!"
King Luo was so angry that he sat up in bed. These two troublemakers had come to his grave? He was perfectly fine!
Reminded by Luo Wang, Lin Yuesha suddenly realized that Xu Da's words did indeed have some merit.
“Uncle, you have misunderstood your cousin. In order to visit you, your cousin went to several shops in the capital, just to find the most nourishing bird's nest.”
Blood bird's nest is extremely rare, and there are countless counterfeit shops on the market. Xu Da ran himself ragged trying to buy it and even destroyed several counterfeit dens.
"To appease you, my niece painstakingly replicated the pickled cabbage and pork dish made by the Zhao family in the fishing village. The jar was even brought to the Prince's mansion, just so you could have a taste of something fresh."
Lin Yuesha tugged at Xu Da, and then knelt down in the outer room first.
Xu Da almost reflexively knelt down next to Lin Yuesha, but after a moment he realized that he hadn't wronged Xiao Chengyu, so why should he kneel down?
When the Prince of Luo came out of the inner room, he was startled by the scene at the door and asked, "What are you all up to?"
“A man’s knees are worth gold. I, Xu Da, kneel to heaven and earth. This kneeling is to tell you that we are brothers for life. I misunderstood you before. Brother, I’m sorry!”
Xu Da was filled with resentment. He tried to stand up, but his cousin Lin Yuesha held onto his clothes and wouldn't let go. By the time the Prince of Luo came out, it was too late for him to stand up.
Well, since I've already knelt, as Lin Yuesha said, I've made the right gesture.
"What a good brother! Why didn't you even ask me a question? Do you think I'm someone who's ambitious and plotting to usurp the throne?"
Luo Wang and Xu Da had known each other for many years and understood each other's hardships; they should have had this most basic level of trust.
No.
Xu Da's eyes reddened. When he received the news, he was worried about Lin Yuesha's safety, but what he couldn't accept the most was that this matter was related to Prince Luo.
"The reason I told my mother to take people to Faxi Temple was that if I acted quickly, even if you made a big mistake and didn't go all the way to the end, there was still hope."
These were Xu Da's honest thoughts. If the one who orchestrated everything was the Prince of Luo, Xu Da would plead for the Prince of Luo even at the cost of his own life. He asked for nothing more than to save the Prince of Luo's life.
"No matter what I say, you still don't believe me."
King Luo leaned on the back of the chair, panting. He was still very weak.
"Xiao Chengyu, it's not that I don't trust you, can't you be reasonable?"
In that situation, anyone would have been swayed, especially since the old princess was the prince's own mother; any normal person would have had such thoughts.
These things are not important. What is important is that no matter what Xiao Chengyu does, Xu Da always treats him as a brother.
“Uncle, my cousin has wanted to come see you for a long time. It was my fault; I kept stopping him.”
Lin Yuesha seized the opportunity and cried, "Because I haven't figured out how to apologize. I've been thinking about it for days, but I really can't think of a way."
Xu Da was deeply moved by Lin Yuesha's words. He had clearly misunderstood that the Prince of Luo did not want to come, but his cousin had changed her story and taken all the blame on herself to exonerate him.
