Chapter 252: My heart skipped a beat!

There was a flash of ruthlessness in Lin Mengshu's eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of scarlet. Not only had Lin Mengyan seen it before, even Old Master Lin had never seen his son like this.

Lin Mengyan thought Lin Mengshu was going to strangle her to death, but the next moment Lin Mengshu let go: "Second sister, did you feel suffocated just now? It is because of your recklessness that our Lin family is on the verge of suffocation! If you don't know what's good for you anymore, our Lin family will be dragged down to death by you!"

“Ahem…”

Lin Mengyan coughed twice in succession. She covered her throat and finally caught her breath. She wanted to argue, but Lin Mengshu's appearance just now was too scary, and she didn't want to be strangled again.

"Dad, why is it that I am holding him back? How could he..."

Before Lin Mengyan could finish her words of grievance, Lin Mengshu interrupted her: "Father, for now we are standing at the forefront of the storm. To restore our reputation, in addition to making Mr. Accountant shut up, our Lin family must also make a statement."

"How do we do this?"

Mr. Lin is now at a loss.

Lin Mengshu went to Old Master Lin and whispered a few words. Old Master Lin hesitated a little, but after a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

*When Mu Nanzhou got the news, he was still on the street looking for Xu Yanyi who was preparing the betrothal gifts.

His face darkened slightly, he turned around and walked quickly towards the Lin family, but he didn't expect that when he passed the gate of Yingtian Mansion, he saw several people from the Lin family kneeling there with thorns on their backs, and Lord Wen had a dark face.

"What's going on?"

Mu Nanzhou walked forward.

Lord Wen was stunned for a moment and bowed quickly: "Your humble servant is here to see King Nanling. These people are involved in the theft of money from the Wuzhou treasury and the poisoning of grain in the princess's mansion. However, in view of the fact that the accountant of the Lin family was the one who directly caused these things, and the accountant has now admitted the crime, your humble servant has not yet punished the Lin family. But they insist on kneeling here to apologize, this..."

"Since you are apologizing to the people who were harmed, you should apologize to them. Why should you apologize to the government? Isn't this nonsense?"

Xu Yanyi's voice suddenly emerged.

Mu Nanzhou turned around suddenly and saw Xu Yanyi sitting at the tea stall next to him, leisurely swinging the teacup in his hand.

"Xu Yanyi!" Mu Nanzhou gritted his teeth. This must have been done by that woman Xu Yanyi!

"Would you like a cup of tea, Your Majesty?" Xu Yanyi curled her lips slightly and stood up and walked over. "You can't even figure out who you are apologizing to. I can't imagine whether you, the Lin family, are putting on a show or apologizing."

Lin Mengshu's face darkened, and he looked at Xu Yanyi deeply. He pulled Old Master Lin to turn around and kowtowed directly: "Our Lin family has such a servant. We, as masters, are to blame. Princess Nanling is right! What our Lin family should pray for most is the forgiveness of the innocent people..."

"I wouldn't forgive you if it were me. I came to the capital to escape the disaster, but you guys poisoned me. How pitiful! If I had an egg in my hand, I would smash you to death." Xu Yanyi shook the cup in her hand, "But I have a cup in my hand..."

Just as he finished speaking, one of the people suddenly stopped and threw a piece of tofu directly at Mr. Lin on the head.

As soon as someone stood up, the rest of the people would throw whatever they had in their hands at this place one after another. The shocked Lord Wen quickly retreated. Mu Nanzhou subconsciously wanted to help block it. Xu Yanyi said leisurely: "King Nanling, are you going to protect the innocent people or the culprit? You can't even tell the difference between these simple and basic things. How can you protect your country?"

"you!"

Mu Nanzhou's handsome face turned dark.

Xu Yanyi sneered: "The more you want to help, the more angry the people will be. The Lin family can think of this method of taking the blame and apologizing, and they also want to save their own Lin family. It's not good to be hit a few times and spit on a few times. If they are really convicted, then everyone in the family will be executed?"

"You did it on purpose!" Mu Nanzhou stared at Xu Yanyi and said word by word, "This was all designed by you. All of this is a trap for them to fall into, right?"

"Yes." Xu Yanyi admitted frankly, "But don't forget, they were the ones who dealt with me first!"

"All they want is to marry Lin Mengyan to Zhan Qiyue. They will also give you the thousand-year-old purple Ganoderma lucidum, and the poisoned people will be fine. Why are you..."

Mu Nanzhou was interrupted by Xu Yanyi: "Zhan Qiyue is my person, why can they plot against her? This time they plotted against my person for their own selfish reasons, so what about next time? Will they deal with me? Your dear aunt has been thinking about dealing with me. If I hadn't been smart, I would not only lose my virginity but also be accused of being a spy. I would not deserve death. At that time, will you defend me even a word? You won't, will you?"

“…”

For a moment, Mu Nanzhou felt very uncomfortable and couldn't say anything.

Xu Yanyi yawned and watched Lin Mengshu, Old Master Lin and others being hit by all kinds of things by a group of angry people. They were beaten so badly that if it weren't for the yamen runners stopping them, they would probably have been beaten to death by the common people.

"If you have nothing to do, go and help Master Wen to investigate the case. The theft of money from the Wuzhou treasury is related to the Lin family. The accountant was replaced by your aunt. Who knows what else your aunt has done? If you don't want me to deal with her, you can help her to deal with the finality."

Xu Yanyi said coldly and walked away.

Mu Nanzhou wanted to catch up with her, but he stopped when he remembered her words.

*Princess Mansion.

Master Yue has been back for half an hour. He is instructing the servants of the princess's mansion to arrange some of the flowers and plants that Xu Yanyi likes. Xu Yanyi tilted her head to look at them. Those are the flowers that the original owner liked, and some of them are the preferences of the original owner that she has never told outsiders.

But how does this Master Yue know everything?

How strange.

In comparison, Master Yue seems to understand the original owner better than Mu Nanzhou, and is more like... King Nanling.

For some unknown reason, Xu Yanyi thought of the man she had seen briefly in Wuyi Palace.

"Princess, you're back."

Master Yue turned around and looked at her.

Xu Yanyi pulled herself back to her senses: "You made those flowers look very pretty."

"I thought you would ask what happened to the people who were poisoned when you came back."

Master Yue smiled slightly and handed the hand warmer over, "It's still windy today, use it to warm your hands."

Xu Yanyi took the hand stove and felt very warm: "I asked you to help me keep an eye on Lord Wen and his men who were delivering the medicine. Now that you are back here and are leisurely planting flowers, it means that the people are safe, right?"

Suddenly, Master Yue's heart skipped a beat. Xu Yanyi moved closer, and her elegant fragrance lingered around his nose. He only felt...
