Jing Yuchen turned his head and saw the ice-blue figure walking slowly towards him with a smile on her lips. The direction she was walking in clearly showed that she was returning after leaving the Dali Temple.
What on earth had she been doing there for so long?
Jing Yuchen looked at her with great interest.
"What have you been doing for so long? You've made me think I've been abandoned, and you're keeping me to take the blame for you!"
Ni Yueshan rolled her eyes at him without responding. Her gaze fell on Kang Xueyi, "Sir, this princess would also like to call a witness. Is that possible?"
Kang Xueyi looked at Ni Yueshan's confident look and naturally did not refuse. He immediately responded, "Okay, pass it on!"
Ni Yueshan looked behind him. The door was still surrounded by the crowd, but three figures appeared together, walked out of the crowd and headed towards the court.
Miao Huitao looked at the newcomer in surprise. His face was originally calm, but now, there was a ripple on it.
"mother......"
She called out, her voice sounding a little choked.
The butler's face turned pale and he lowered his head, not knowing what to do.
Kang Xueyi looked suspicious and didn't know what was going on.
Ni Yueshan explained, "Although this matter is simple, it takes a long time. Thank you for your patience!"
"I left the Dali Temple under the pretext of a stomachache, then went to the Miao Residence. I went there alone, and started cursing loudly, attracting quite a few onlookers. It was quite a scene!"
Kang Xueyi's mouth twitched, and he asked in confusion, "Then how come while you were cursing, you ended up cursing Miss Miao's mother?"
"That's a good question!" Ni Yueshan responded cheerfully. She glanced at Jing Yuchen with a smile on her face. "Why would I, such a well-mannered person, curse for no reason?"
"Isn't it because I want to divert all the attention in the Miao Mansion so that my people can rescue them?"
Kang Xueyi was suspicious: "Save people?"
Ni Yueshan looked at Miao Huitao's mother. Kang Xueyi asked hesitantly, "Are you saying that in the Miao Mansion, Miss Miao's mother's freedom has been restricted and she is in danger?"
"That's right! Otherwise, why would this person who is infatuated with the prince come to falsely accuse me?" Ni Yueshan raised his eyebrows and then looked at Jing Yuchen.
She believed in Jing Yuchen's charm and Miao Huitao's infatuation.
At the beginning, Miao Huitao helped to pass the information to Jing Yuchen. At that time, she was the only one willing to take the risk.
How could a woman who doesn't ask for anything in return change so easily?
Moreover, she and Jing Yuchen had never offended Miao Huitao. In addition, Miao Li, the head of the Miao Mansion, was not a good person. Relying on being the eldest son of the Miao family, he treated the second and third wives harshly.
Miao Huitao has absolutely no reason to make such a false accusation just for Miao Li! Unless he received bribes or was threatened.
Ni Yueshan initially thought that someone was being threatened.
So she went to the Miao Mansion to delay time and divert people's attention, so that Qingfeng could hurry back to the Mansion to call Qingluan and Qingfeng to rescue the people who were restricted in their freedom. After rescuing them, she left and came back.
Qingluan and Qingfeng supported the innocent concubine and came to the Dali Temple!
"Yueshan, are you praising me?" Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan suspiciously.
Ni Yueshan said that he was very charming and he should be proud of it, but why did he feel something was wrong?
Ni Yueshan chuckled lightly but didn't respond. Her eyes fell on Miao Huitao: "You two, mother and daughter, stop crying. Hurry up and explain the truth!"
Miao Huitao frowned, glanced at Ni Yueshan, wiped the tears from her face, and kowtowed to Kang Xueyi to admit her mistake: "I'm sorry, Master Temple Minister, this is all my fault. I was worried about my mother's safety, so I lied."
Kang Xueyi listened to her choked words and asked anxiously: "Who ordered you to do this?"
Miao Huitao looked at the housekeeper, who lowered his head and said nothing. Kang Xueyi slammed the gavel and said angrily, "Housekeeper, you shouldn't be silent now, why are you silent?"
Kang Xueyi found that the butler didn't say anything, just lowered his head and didn't move, which was a bit strange.
Jing Yuchen was standing behind the butler. He stretched out his foot and kicked him, but the butler fell to the side.
Ni Yueshan and the others were all staring in astonishment as they saw blood oozing from the corner of the butler's mouth. A yamen runner immediately stepped forward to investigate and reported, "Sir, this man bit his tongue to commit suicide!"
Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen looked at each other. This person must have seen Miao Huitao's mother being rescued and knew that the plan would not succeed, so he chose to commit suicide to save the others.
But if the people behind him are not from the Miao family, then whose family could they be?
Ni Yueshan frowned, and Jing Yuchen sighed helplessly beside him: "What bad luck! He was so energetic when he falsely accused someone, but now he's trying to commit suicide!"
Kang Xueyi was a little surprised. He asked blankly, "Now, this case..."
Jing Yuchen didn't answer Kang Xueyi, but only looked at Miao Huitao. He squatted down, looked directly at her, and asked, "Do you know who ordered the housekeeper to threaten you?"
Miao Huitao was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
Jing Yuchen didn't ask any further questions. He stood up. Miao Huitao didn't dare to say anything even now.
It doesn’t really matter who it is, because even if Miao Huitao points it out, Kang Xueyi can’t deal with that person.
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan and said, "Although today's drama was unlucky, it also made you and me spend a boring afternoon. Let's go back!"
Ni Yueshan paused: "Then the two of them..."
If the plan fails and I return to the Miao family, won’t I be killed?
Jing Yuchen asked back: "Do you sympathize?"
Ni Yueshan crossed her arms and said, "Although she falsely accused me this time, she had done favors for the palace before. I think it would be better if you arranged a good life for them, so that they don't die. After all, it's two lives!"
"You still have the ability to be kind?" Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan strangely.
Ni Yueshan rolled his eyes at Jing Yuchen and said, "I only kill those who deserve to be killed, and I only save innocent people!"
"That's a beautiful thing to say. Okay, if you don't mind, why should I mind if there are more rivals in love in the world? I don't mind if there are more admirers of me in the world."
Ni Yueshan: “…”
Afterwards, Jing Yuchen looked at Qingluan and Qingfeng and waved. The two of them stepped forward and whispered in his ears.
"You two, take them out of the city and find a safe place to settle them down!"
Qingluan and Qingfeng understood and stepped forward to ask Miao Huitao to stand up. Miao Huitao looked at Jing Yuchen with guilt, and then looked at Ni Yueshan.
Ni Yueshan had a cold face and said nothing. Jing Yuchen started to remind her, "If you leave the Miao family, you will no longer be royal relatives, but you will also no longer have anyone to suppress you. You might consider this."
Without waiting for her mother to speak, Miao Huitao took the initiative to say, "Don't think about it. Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Princess. I will remember this kindness in my heart for the rest of my life."
