"Miss, Master, the medicine box has arrived!" Rong Yin ran over.
Yellow Lemon Dream...
Is this girl deliberately sent to jinx her? Why did she have to come at this time of year?
She's already sacrificed so much for the sake of evidence, can't she have some privacy?
Ring: Master, just admit that you're afraid of being seen by your cheap old man again.
"Yes, yes, Meng'er, how is your hand?" Prime Minister Huang asked with great concern.
Huang Ningmeng coughed lightly, "Father, I'm fine. Let's apply the medicine later. I'd like to hear the opinion of the Prefect of the Capital first."
The Prefect of the Capital smiled and said, "From the beginning until now, I have been listening to Miss Huang's analysis and I feel that there is nothing wrong with it. It is a pity that Miss Huang is a woman. If this matter gets out, it will definitely have a bad impact on her reputation. However, Your Excellency, rest assured, my subordinates will keep this matter a secret."
"That's excellent." Prime Minister Huang nodded. He had also been worried about this matter, and since the Prefect of the Capital had taken the initiative to express his opinion, it couldn't be better. He beckoned to Huang Ningmeng, "Meng'er, come and thank the magistrate."
Huang Ningmeng was well aware of the injustices this era brought to women, but she was long past the age of being naive. Now that her goal had been achieved, there was no need to pursue the matter any further.
She walked over, curtsied to the Prefect of the Capital, and said, "Thank you for your help, sir. Otherwise, my reputation would have been ruined."
The Prefect of the Capital waved his hand, "There are many intelligent women like Miss Huang, but women who understand the bigger picture like Miss Huang are few and far between. I feel it is necessary for me to protect you."
Huang Ningmeng smiled. The Prefect of the Capital was not like those other pedantic bookworms.
However, it's no coincidence that he's reached his current position. He must have solved countless cases. He also has talented people like Counselor Liu by his side, as well as highly skilled bodyguards.
Thinking about this, Huang Ningmeng looked at the Prefect of the Capital with new respect.
The Prefect of the Capital's subordinates were very efficient, and before long, Hongyan was captured.
She looked somewhat flustered when she was brought over.
"Sir, why are you arresting me? Do you really want me to take the blame?" Hongyan said angrily. "Does this mean that people with power and influence can do this?"
Those present, who had initially thought the little girl was quite innocent, now only felt a deep sense of fear.
This girl is too cunning.
The Prefect of the Capital also looked displeased. He had initially shared the same opinion as everyone else, but now he fully realized that he had been proven wrong.
"Red Smoke, you still dare to argue? The evidence is irrefutable, you can't deny it even if you want to."
As she spoke, the Prefect of the Capital threw her handkerchief on the ground.
Hongyan trembled slightly, looking at the handkerchief on the ground. "This handkerchief isn't mine. She's slandering me!"
"Oh, how do you know I'm the one slandering you?" Huang Ningmeng sneered.
Hongyan was furious at her nonchalant attitude. "Huang Ningmeng, it's you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation today. You've been trying to drag me down with you for a long time."
"Why would I want to drag you down with me?" Huang Ningmeng said with a smirk.
"Because you have ulterior motives."
"How come I didn't know I had any 'hidden reasons'? Tell me, what are my reasons?" Huang Ningmeng asked.
"Because you like Jiang Sheng!" Hong Yan revealed directly.
"shut up!"
"Smack—"
Prime Minister Huang was so angry that he slapped Hongyan.
Hongyan covered her face, looking at Prime Minister Huang in disbelief, "You hit me?"
"You slander my daughter like this, who else should I hit if not you?" This is exactly the same as Huang Ningmeng's words.
Tears welled up in Hongyan's eyes; her heart was breaking.
Huang Ningmeng sneered, "Hongyan, you're slandering me like this. It's normal for my father to beat you because he loves me. What's so unbelievable about that? Oh right, you've been without parents since you were little, so it's hard for you to understand what it's like to be protected by a father."
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Huang couldn't help but glance at her; her words were meant to provoke Hongyan.
He hadn't seen his daughter for a few days and felt she had become much smarter. If it weren't for the fact that she looked exactly like his daughter, he would have doubted whether she was really his daughter.
Hongyan was indeed quite provoked. Her jealousy, which stemmed from not being able to acknowledge her father, was now directly hit where it hurt, and she immediately retaliated, "Huang Ningmeng! You're the one who doesn't have a father or mother, you stole my father and my mother!"
Huang Ningmeng scoffed, walked behind her, and suddenly pushed her.
Red smoke lost its balance and fell forward.
"ah!"
No one helped her up; she took a few steps forward and fell to the ground.
Hongyan turned and glared fiercely at Huang Ningmeng, then looked at the Prefect of the Capital, "Heh, Your Excellency has truly broadened my horizons."
Huang Ningmeng said, "Let's not change the subject. You say I like Jiang Sheng, but when have I ever liked him?"
“I saw you meeting him secretly at night several times.”
Huang Ningmeng asked, "Then tell me, how many times have Jiang Sheng and I met secretly at night?"
"Twice in the garden, once here, do you still want to deny it?" Hongyan raised her head, arrogantly pointing her nostrils at Huang Ningmeng, the provocation obvious.
The Prefect of the Capital's face darkened.
“I never said I would deny it,” Huang Ningmeng said with a smile.
The Prefect of the Capital walked up to Hongyan and looked down at her. “Hongyan, your name is embroidered on that handkerchief, and you also pointed out that Miss Huang came here last night, which means that you also came here.”
"That doesn't prove I killed him," Hongyan insisted.
Huang Ningmeng walked to the irregular footprint from last night, looked at the shoe prints in front of her, and laughed, "Hongyan, Jiang Sheng hugged you last night, didn't he?"
Hongyan's face turned pale.
“The marks on the ground say it all.” Huang Ningmeng pointed to the new marks left after she pushed the red smoke and said, “My lord, please take a look.”
The Prefect of the Capital went over to take a look and found that it was indeed the same as that mark.
"Guards, take Hongyan away! This court demands a public trial!"
Hongyan was already feeling guilty for killing someone, hadn't slept well last night, and was further agitated by Huang Ningmeng today, so she had lost all composure.
"No, I didn't kill him, Huang Ningmeng did! She's a bad woman! She stole my father, she stole my mother, and she took away the person I loved. I'm not having it!"
Even the Prefect of the Capital couldn't stand it any longer and waved his hand, saying, "Take him away."
"Wait a minute," Prime Minister Huang said.
"Wait a moment." The Prefect of the Capital bowed. "Does the Prime Minister have any further instructions?"
Prime Minister Huang walked up to Hongyan and said, "You keep saying that Meng'er took away your parents, but who are your parents?"
Hongyan looked at him with tears streaming down her face, "Father, you are my father. Every time I see you, I want to acknowledge you, but Mother doesn't want me to."
Upon hearing this, the surroundings fell silent.
Everyone looked at Prime Minister Huang, but Du Chenyan looked at Huang Ningmeng with genuine worry in his eyes.
