Seeing that Han Xiangwen was still protecting the snake demon in front of them, everyone could not help but angrily criticize him. Some even brought up Ruan Changtian from before, accusing the Han family of being no good at all, just like Ruan Changtian.
Just when everyone was criticizing Han Xinyu and the others, Han Xiangxu finally arrived.
Before everyone could react, Han Xiangxu had already pinched a piece of talisman paper and stuck it on Lu Lingling. In just a moment, Lu Lingling returned to her original appearance.
When Yao Xinyu saw this scene, she was about to scream, but she didn't expect that her body was already covered with snake scales inch by inch. In just a moment, she had turned into a black snake, and opened her bloody mouth to bite the people around her.
The people who were gossiping were bitten by Yao Xinyu and fell to the ground. They then scattered to the side in fear, shouting in unison that the snake demon was going to eat people.
At this time, Han Xiangxu looked at the people around him who were in a panic and said, "This snake monster changes its skin every three years. Now it wants to use my sister-in-law's body to recover its vitality. I won't let it."
At this time, everyone looked at Yao Xinyu who had been trapped by Han Xiangxu's magic, and then looked at Lu Lingling who was curled up in Han Xiangwen's arms with her face pale with fear, and they were a little confused for a moment.
The second wife at the side came to her senses and said to Han Xiangxu dissatisfiedly: "We all saw that the witch turned into a snake just now. I'm afraid you used some magic to turn the eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion into this appearance."
The people on the side also recognized Han Xiangxu in front of them, and said dissatisfiedly: "That's right, Second Prince, you can't help her perform tricks just because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes this witch. We are not so easily fooled."
At this moment, the crowd of onlookers gathered in the Marquis' Mansion were all wealthy and powerful people. Even though Han Xiangwen and Han Xiangxu were dissatisfied, they did not dare to punish them easily for this matter. After all, the old Taoist had just performed a magic trick in front of everyone, making everyone think that Lu Lingling was also a snake demon.
The matter is not big or small, not to mention that since their father ascended the throne, he has repeatedly warned them not to use power to oppress others. Now he absolutely cannot order them to shut up just because of their noble or humble status.
Han Xiangxu snorted coldly when he heard this, and then took advantage of no one's attention to throw a poisonous insect in the direction of the old Taoist priest.
Soon, the poisonous insect dived into the old Taoist priest's arm. Suddenly, the old Taoist priest stood up as if he was crazy and started dancing, chattering while dancing.
"I accepted a bribe from Miss Yao and used magic to transform the Crown Princess into a snake demon."
As the old Taoist priest spoke, the gold in his pocket fell to the ground in large drops.
The onlookers picked up a piece of gold and examined it carefully. Sure enough, they saw the word "Yao" engraved on the bottom of the gold.
In Nanyu, all the wealthy and noble families love to stamp their family names on gold and silver. Once they use this gold outside, it not only shows off their wealth, but also creates the illusion of being rich enough to rival a country, which brings them great vanity and satisfaction.
In addition, Yao Xinyu never thought that the Han family could actually make this old Taoist confess all the secrets of their Yao family.
In order to avoid being exposed, Yao Xinyu specially found such an old Taoist priest with professional ethics. No matter how much gold others offered him, they could not pry his mouth open. Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest turned around and sold them out.
However, even though Yao Xinyu watched the old Taoist confess everything in front of her, she could not utter a word. At this moment, she still had a person's neck in her mouth. The person was taking his last breath, and the bright red blood had already flowed all over the ground.
Seeing this, Han Xinyu quietly took the small magic weapon that Su Muyun had given her and threw it at Yao Xinyu.
In an instant, a shed snake skin suddenly appeared in front of everyone, followed by a hollowed-out human skin. The face was Yao Xinyu's.
Now, everyone had to believe Han Xiangxu's words, and was even more convinced that Yao Xinyu in front of them was the snake demon.
The news soon reached Prime Minister Yao's ears, and soon after, Prime Minister Yao arrived at the scene with his entire family.
Seeing the human skin lying on the ground and the angry Crown Prince and Second Prince, Prime Minister Yao hurriedly knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Second Prince, please have mercy on me and spare my daughter this time."
At the beginning, everyone relied on their numbers and when many nobles gathered together and wanted to force Han Xiangwen to deal with Lu Lingling, none of them remembered that they were the crown prince and the prince.
Now that Lu Lingling has been cleared of suspicion, they are panicking. It's ridiculous.
Han Xiangxu glanced at Prime Minister Yao coldly, with a faint smile on his lips. This old thief was usually on high alert. If it weren't for the disaster caused by Yao Xinyu today, which made him relax the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion for a while, it would probably not be so easy for his people to sneak into Prime Minister Yao's Mansion.
"Prime Minister Yao, you should pay more attention to your own life."
Just as Prime Minister Yao was terrified, a group of guards rushed over from Prime Minister Yao's residence.
"Your Highness, I found a dragon robe and a phoenix hairpin in Prime Minister Yao's mansion."
Prime Minister Yao was about to deny it, but Han Xiangxu didn't give him the chance at all.
Several guards were seen carrying several women forward. As soon as the women saw Han Xiangxu and his companions, they immediately started crying.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince and Second Prince, it was Prime Minister Yao who forced us women to wear the dragon robe."
"If Prime Minister Yao had not threatened my family, I would never have dared to do such a heinous thing. I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince will understand this."
Now that there is both witness and evidence, even if Prime Minister Yao has eight mouths, he will not be able to refute it.
Then Prime Minister Yao just gave up and started cursing at Han Xiangwen and others, "We are all prime ministers, why can you rebel and ascend the throne to live a good life, but I can't?"
"So what if you found out? Today I have rebelled, and it is time for us, the Yao family, to sit on the throne."
Han Xiangxu glanced at Prime Minister Yao coldly, "Oh? If you rebel, your precious daughter will really die. I advise you to think about it carefully."
Who would have thought that Prime Minister Yao was not threatened by Han Xiangxu at all, and there was no sign of love for his daughter in his greedy eyes.
"She is just a rebellious girl who is not worthy of being in public. So what if she dies from being pierced by thousands of arrows?"
"I was counting on her to bring Lu Lingling down, but this idiot not only failed to drag Lu Lingling down, but also got herself involved."
"How can such a useless waste be worthy of being my daughter?"
