Chapter 245: Isn’t this the same as forcing a woman of good character into prostitution?

Mu Nanzhou couldn't hear what Xu Yanyi and Master Yue were saying.

But seeing the two people so close to each other, he felt a surge of anger rising in his heart, making him want to kill someone.

Lin Mengshu walked behind him without knowing when, and said in a gloomy voice: "My Lord, the princess has always liked you and admired you. This is a well-known fact. I think someone just seduced her."

Someone is misleading, isn't this someone referring to Master Yue?

Mu Nanzhou turned around and looked at Lin Mengshu. The boy was young, but he looked gloomy. However, he could not hide his sophistication in his eyes. He was more scheming than anyone else in the Lin family.

"Didn't your Lin family have a marriage relationship with him in the past? He almost became your brother-in-law."

Mu Nanzhou raised his eyebrows slightly.

Lin Mengshu said respectfully: "Now he is going to be my brother-in-law, as long as the princess agrees. I'm sure the prince will agree too, right? As long as he has a wife, it will not be easy for him to be the princess's bodyguard. What do you think, prince?"

Mu Nanzhou's eyes darkened, and after a while he said, "I have no opinion."

After he finished speaking, Mu Nanzhou turned around and left. Lin Mengshu stood there for a moment, curled his lips slightly, and also walked away.

By the time Xu Yanyi and Master Yue entered the front hall, Mr. Lin and the others were already getting a little impatient.

Master Lin stood up and said, "Princess, have you discussed this?"

Xu Yanyi glanced at Mr. Lin and said leisurely: "We have discussed it, but whether this thousand-year-old purple Ganoderma lucidum is in your hands, and whether you will really give it to me to save those innocent people, these are all unknowns.

So, while King Nanling is here, you take out the thousand-year-old purple Ganoderma lucidum, and I'll find someone to verify its authenticity, and then mark it, so that if someone is reluctant to mix it with a fake one, I will suffer a loss, right?"

Master Lin was so angry at Xu Yanyi's words that his face turned pale: "Princess, do you not trust me?"

"Yes, I don't trust you in the first place. Now so many people are waiting for you, the Lin family, to come up with something like this to save their lives, but you still force them into prostitution... Oh, no, you force my guard to marry you. How can I trust you?"

Xu Yanyi took out a contract of sale and waved it in front of Mr. Lin before putting it away. "Since you want to get married, shouldn't you be more sincere? I'm just checking it and making a mark. King Nanling is here. Are you still worried that I can steal it?"

Mr. Lin gritted his teeth: "But..."

Mu Nanzhou frowned. He always felt that Xu Yanyi was up to something and would not agree so easily: "Xu Yanyi, don't forget that you are the one asking them to do something. Now you..."

"It's really not me who asked them to do it."

Xu Yanyi took control of the situation in an instant, with her arrogance evident between her brows.

"Although this is needed as a medicine for detoxification, if it is not available, I can only report it to the emperor. It is obvious that someone has framed me, otherwise why did the owner of the bun shop run away so promptly?

This kind of thing may seem clean, but it is not certain that nothing can be found if it is investigated. Besides, I have found some clues here, and I am very confident that I can get to the bottom of this matter. When the time comes, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager will look for the culprit if they want to confess the crime. I am also a victim."

Hearing this, a trace of nervousness flashed across Mr. Lin's eyes. How could this be possible? They had already made all the arrangements, even the shopkeeper had run away. How was this possible?

But looking at Xu Yanyi's confident look, it doesn't seem like she's lying, right?

Mu Nanzhou said with a cold face: "Xu Yanyi, what did you find out? Why don't I know about it?"

Xu Yanyi rolled her eyes: "There are so many things you don't know. Besides, why should I tell you if you are unreliable? How would I know if you are involved in this and are deliberately trying to harm me?"

"you!"

Mu Nanzhou's head hurt from being choked by Xu Yanyi.

Xu Yanyi looked at Master Lin with a smile: "It's just a look, is it so difficult? Is it because this thing is gone that you are saying that this thing is still there, and use this thing to force my guard to marry your daughter?"

"Nonsense! The thousand-year-old purple Ganoderma lucidum is a treasure of our Lin family! How could it be gone? Since the princess wants to see it and examine it, I will ask someone to bring it out now! Come on! Bring out the treasure box!"

Mr. Lin spoke up immediately. No matter whether Xu Yanyi had found out anything or not, in order to avoid this, the marriage had to be settled first.

As long as the marriage is settled, even if Xu Yanyi really finds out something, the marriage will be settled by then. Xu Yanyi is so good to Master Yue, he will not be willing to hurt Master Yue’s wife’s family!

Thinking of this, Mr. Lin felt a little relieved.

Soon, a very delicate treasure box was brought out by the servants and opened in front of everyone. A purple Ganoderma lucidum was placed inside, with a faint medicinal fragrance filling the air. Even people who didn't know much about medicine would think it was something extraordinary.

Xu Yanyi and Master Yue looked at each other and stepped forward to check. Master Lin said nervously: "This is a thousand-year-old purple Ganoderma lucidum, which is very rare. It is better to be careful."

"But why do I feel like it's... fake?"

Xu Yanyi's leisurely words were like a bomb exploding out of nowhere.

Master Lin was shocked, and hurriedly defended him, saying: "How can this be fake! It was originally a tribute, given to King Nanling by the late emperor, and then King Nanling gave it to the common people. How can it be fake!"

"Really?" Xu Yanyi smiled slightly and took off the earring. With a flick of her fingertips, the pearl on the earring pierced into the middle of the thousand-year-old purple Ganoderma lucidum with a whoosh, as if it was inlaid. "Okay, it's marked. You can take it back."

Master Lin's eyes widened: "You, you, you...Princess Nanling, how could you destroy the purple Ganoderma lucidum like this!"

"The princess did not destroy the purple Ganoderma lucidum. She also told you to mark it just now to prevent you from forging it. Now the mark has been made. This is an extremely good oriental pearl, and the princess's name is engraved inside the pearl. If you forcibly remove the pearl, you will damage the integrity of the thousand-year-old purple Ganoderma lucidum. If you want to imitate it, I'm afraid you won't be able to find such a pearl."

Master Yue explained slowly, "Besides, you don't need it, right? After all, as long as I marry Lin Mengyan, this thing will be given to me. Could it be that Master Lin really wants to replace it with something else?"

Master Lin's thoughts were exposed in an instant. He did have such an idea. If he helped Lin Mengyan marry Master Yue, he could get Master Yue's huge fortune, so he agreed. But it didn't mean that he was willing to give up the thousand-year-old purple Ganoderma lucidum.

As long as they get married and replace the things with fake ones, it doesn't matter to him whether the common people live or die. He just needs to achieve his goal!

But who knew Xu Yanyi would do this!
