Chapter 237: All of them know how to flatter!

"Ahhh, be gentle! Be gentle!"

The servant whose wrist was grabbed screamed.

Master Yue used a little more strength on his hands.

clang.

A tiny silver needle fell to the ground.

Xu Yanyi's expression changed, and she stepped forward and said coldly: "Are you going to kill me to silence me?"

Seeing this scene, Mu Liufang and the people from the Lin family gasped.

Master Yue coldly let go of his hand, and the servant quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Slave, slave is just following orders. This man is not a good person. He sneaked in to slander the princess. His heart is so vicious. And just now, the lady also asked the servants to drag him out and beat him to death with sticks. This... this is death sooner or later, it's the same anyway, what does it matter..."

Mu Liufang glared at the man fiercely, and quickly spoke to save him: "It's not a big deal. This man is vicious and deserves to die! Come on, drag him away!"

"Wait!" Xu Yanyi said lazily, "Madam, what you said is not right. He slandered me for no reason and said that I was a rebel hiding a rebel poem. The rebellion three years ago came suddenly and the battle was so fierce that no one listened to my explanation. But now I can't kill this man without explaining it properly, right?"

Xu Yanyi signaled to Master Yue, and the folding fan in Master Yue's hand moved. With a whoosh, the fan passed over and opened the remaining two hands of the servants who were holding the beggar's arms.

very good.

Xu Yanyi walked up to the beggar and squatted down, whispering in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you don't explain the truth clearly, you're really going to die. Do you think you don't have to die? People can't wait to stab you with a needle. If you don't seize the opportunity, you may die without knowing how you died!"

The beggar shuddered, and he looked up at Mu Liufang...

Mu Liufang glared at him fiercely and warned him not to talk nonsense.

Xu Yanyi didn't even need to turn around to know who the beggar was looking at. She picked up the silver needle on the ground and said, "If I were you, I would give myself an extra chance to survive. Otherwise, no one would collect your body if you died. Do you believe it?"

The beggar gritted his teeth and opened his mouth to speak when a stone suddenly flew over and hit his right arm directly. The beggar reflexively raised his hand and hit Xu Yanyi in front of him out of pain.

"Ah, Princess, be careful!"

Xiaoyu screamed.

Mu Nanzhou's sword came out of its sheath with a clang, and before the beggar could react, he was stabbed from behind by Mu Nanzhou's sword.

"puff!"

The beggar spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes widened in disbelief, and fell to the ground with a thud, dying with his eyes open.

Finally dead.

Mu Liufang breathed a sigh of relief.

The Lin family also breathed a sigh of relief.

Master Yue frowned and looked at Mu Nanzhou. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Yanyi shook her head. Master Yue pursed his lips and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Xu Yanyi raised an eyebrow and looked at Mu Nanzhou: "Your Highness, your swordsmanship is great."

Mu Nanzhou retracted his sword and waved his hand. The beggar's body was dragged away like a piece of rag. No one showed any sympathy at all.

"That man is dangerous. Princess, you are kindhearted and don't know how to be on guard. But when I see that he wants to hurt you, I will naturally take action."

Mu Nanzhou said seriously.

When everyone heard this, they began to flatter him.

"Your Highness is so powerful. If it weren't for you, that villain would have not only slandered the Princess, but would have killed her."

"That's right, with Prince Nanling here, we can rest assured."

"It's great to have the prince here!"

One by one, all the fence-sitters joined in the flattery.

Xu Yanyi rolled her eyes repeatedly when she heard this. Master Yue whispered in her ear: "What happened just now..."

"I saw it. It was Mu Nanzhou who did it." Xu Yanyi curled her lips sarcastically.

Mu Nanzhou's movements just now were extremely fast, and among the people present, she and Master Yue were probably the only ones who actually saw that it was Mu Nanzhou who made the move.

It's not that she wasn't angry. Mu Nanzhou knew clearly that this person was here to frame her, and she also knew who the mastermind was. But she still took action for her own aunt. She was really filial.

Master Yue pursed his lips, and Xu Yanyi whispered in his ear: "You can guess this result. After all, Mu Liufang is his aunt, and I, the princess, am just his enemy. Isn't it obvious who to help?

Even if I insist on pursuing this matter and really force Mu Liufang to admit it, so what? Mu Nanzhou will protect her. Don't worry, I will remember this account and will settle it together sooner or later."

Seeing this, Mu Liufang stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry to scare you all. That person must be a spy sent by the enemy. Our Lin family will go to Yingtian Prefecture to report the case in person. I hope you can help to be witnesses when the time comes, so that no one will spread rumors that the spy is related to our Lin family."

After saying this, Mu Liufang seemed to remember something. She looked at Mu Nanzhou and said, "Prince Nanling, if possible, you can report this matter directly to His Majesty for a decision. Our Lin family is an honest family and we absolutely cannot be slandered like this."

This is said with great confidence.

Isn't it just that you are sure that Mu Nanzhou will help?

Xu Yanyi rolled her eyes contemptuously.

Sure enough, the next moment she heard Mu Nanzhou speak: "I will personally report this matter to the emperor. The Lin family has always been innocent and naturally has nothing to do with this matter. The emperor is wise and will naturally understand."

Mu Liufang and the Lin family kowtowed in unison to express their gratitude.

This matter is in the past.

Mr. Lin thought that he would lose the rice while trying to steal the chicken. Originally, he wanted to turn the tables and completely defeat Xu Yanyi, so that she would never have the opportunity to speak out about Lin Mengyan's affairs to discredit their Lin family. However, not only did he fail to harm Xu Yanyi, but he also put the Lin family in the spotlight.

Of course, with Mu Nanzhou's escort, the Lin family will be fine for the time being, but... but they also have to save their face and reputation. Mr. Lin is also well-informed. Looking at Xu Yanyi's eyes, one can tell that she totally disdains the scene in front of her and will not give face to anyone.

Maybe once she leaves here, she will spread all the stories she saw of Lin Mengyan everywhere with exaggerated details...

Forget it, just shut her mouth first and let Mu Nanzhou figure out a solution.

Thinking about this, Old Master Lin bowed and said, "Princess Nanling, my Lin family held a banquet when we first entered the capital, but I didn't expect to let such a thief sneak in and almost slandered the princess. I feel deeply guilty. I know that the princess has everything she needs, but I still want to compensate her. Someone, come!"

A moment later, the servants of the Lin family came in like a mermaid, carrying a lot of large boxes. They opened those boxes one by one in front of Xu Yanyi, and they were all filled with glittering gold, silver and jewelry.

Master Lin stepped forward respectfully and said, "Princess, these things are just a token of my apology. Although they are not as good as the things in the palace, they are all my thoughts. I hope you don't mind."
