Chapter 113: Misleading

"It's really not me..."

Linglong was at a loss for words, and at this moment, someone else came to Yaoguang Pavilion.

"What happened?"

Cheng Yunshuo, dressed in the court dress of the Jinwu Guard, finished his duty and strode into the room where everyone was.

When Linglong saw him coming, she was about to rush over to ask for help, but Huang Yue rushed over first, crying bitterly.

"My Lord, you are finally back!"

"What's wrong with you?" Cheng Yunshuo looked at Huang Yue's red and swollen eyes and knew that she had cried more than once. He couldn't help but asked, "Who bullied you again!"

"Someone stole the hairpin you gave me!" Huang Yue pointed in Linglong's direction angrily.

"I, I didn't..." Linglong was even more nervous when she saw that everyone was pointing fingers at her. She knelt down in front of Cheng Yunshuo with a thud, "Master, I really didn't take it. I didn't steal it!"

"The young lady has already found out everything, what else do you have to refute?" Huang Yue glanced at Lu Lingyun who was standing aside and directly called her name.

As expected, as soon as Lu Lingyun was mentioned and she found out, Cheng Yunshuo was too lazy to ask, "Why did you do such a thing!"

"My Lord, it's really not me!"

"Linglong, this matter is actually nothing. If you want my hairpin, just tell me and I will give it to you. Now that it has come to this, it is useless for you to argue. If you admit it now, I will not pursue it any further. Please ask the young lady of the prince for mercy, so that you will not be sold back to that filthy place again!"

Huang Yue spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice, expressing her tolerance and generosity, and she felt sorry for Linglong being sold back to the brothel.

Cheng Yunshuo frowned and said in disgust, "Admit it, or go back!"

He and Linglong did not have a deep relationship. He fell in love with her at first sight in the brothel simply because that first moment of sight reminded him of someone.

But now that I see her stealing things, all my annoyance towards her immediately arises.

Listening to Cheng Yunshuo's heartless words, Linglong was at a loss for words when a light voice came over, "I haven't found out the truth yet."

Linglong raised her head and looked at Lu Lingyun who had spoken as if she heard the sound of nature.

Lu Lingyun glanced at her, and then his eyes fell on Huang Yue, "Huang Yue, you keep saying that she stole the things, do you have any evidence?"

"Young Madam, all the things were found in her quilt. What other evidence do you need?" Huang Yueyang raised his head and said.

"If you were a thief, would you hide your things in such an obvious place so that they can be found easily?"

"Maybe she is...she is too arrogant!"

"She took the liberty of letting you see the box?" Lu Lingyun's lips curled up into a smile. "Besides, there were so many people in Yaoguang Pavilion, how come you were the only one who saw the box, and then insisted that she stole it?"

Huang Yue became nervous for a moment.

Linglong then said, "By the way, Madam, my room is usually not locked. During the day, I go out for a walk at one hour in the morning. Everyone in the Shaguang Pavilion can testify to this. And I never go to Huang Yue's room. But Huang Yue never leaves the Shaguang Pavilion on weekdays."

"Are you saying I screwed you?"

"That's possible!"

Huang Yue immediately burst into tears, "My Lord! This is so unfair. She stole my things and is blaming me for it!"

Cheng Yunshuo frowned when he heard Huang Yue crying. He really couldn't stand Huang Yue's tears. "Okay, it's just a hairpin. I'll give you a better one. That's it."

He couldn't judge right from wrong, and was too lazy to quibble over such trivial matters.

At that moment, he just tried to smooth things over and cover up the matter.

When Lu Lingyun heard him say this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Forget it, since the prince has said so, I won't say anything more."

Lu Lingyun glanced at Linglong, then turned around and left with his men.

She did not punish Linglong, and Cheng Yunshuo did not punish her in the end, but because of this incident, Linglong temporarily lost favor.

Cheng Yunshuo asked her to reflect on herself in the room.

Huang Yue looked at the final result. Although Linglong was not driven away all at once as she expected, she still lost a lot of limelight.

Now, she is the only one in charge of the Yaoguang Pavilion.

Those women in the Marquis' Mansion who compete with her will not have a good ending!

That Xing Dairong is, and this Linglong is too!

Huang Yue couldn't help feeling proud after this happened.

Her good days are back.

When Lu Lingyun came out of the Louguang Pavilion, the first thing he asked was Xia Mei, "Did you finish the task you asked your brother to do?"

"My brother said they moved again and just found a new address."

"Tell him to hold on tighter."

"yes."

the next day.

Lu Lingyun was looking at the account book in the yard when a woman came outside her yard.

"Young Madam, Miss Linglong from Yaoguang Pavilion is here."

Without even raising his eyes, Lu Lingyun said, "Ask her to come in."

As soon as Linglong came in, she knelt down in front of Lu Lingyun with a thump, "Young Madam!"

"What?"

"Mrs. Xie, save me."

Lu Lingyun looked at the account book and smiled softly, "I didn't save you. There was insufficient evidence."

"Young Madam is fair and just in saving me." Linglong raised her head, her eyes filled with light.

"Okay, stop flattering me. This isn't the end of the matter." Lu Lingyun put down the account book. "If you want to clear your name, you have to fight for it yourself."

Lu Lingyun followed Li Wenxun in serving as a local official for more than ten years, and she understood one thing deeply.

No matter how big or small the cases in this world are, if the master alone is left to investigate them, he will never be able to finish them.

No matter how upright the eldest master is, he can't find out the truth at a glance.

So at this time, if the victim can find evidence by himself and find the key evidence, and only inform the boss, the government will be very willing to give justice to him.

But if the victim only hopes that the people above will investigate, unless it is a murder case that must be solved, the ordinary small-time police investigation will most likely fall into oblivion.

We need help from others in everything, but no one can help us all the time.

If you want justice, you have to fight for it yourself.

Linglong listened to Lu Lingyun's words and thought for a while, "I understand."

Lu Lingyun looked at the smart Linglong and said, "Sometimes you don't need to investigate too carefully. It's enough to find the flaws of the other party."

After hearing this, Linglong fell into thought again. Soon, her eyes lit up, "I understand!"

Linglong left Lu Lingyun's yard. Lu Lingyun looked at the woman leaving and smiled softly.

That's right, sometimes there are some things that don't need to be investigated in detail. This applies to Linglong, especially to her.

She is the mistress of the house, and many things do not have to be investigated thoroughly. She can let her pawns fight each other and reveal each other's flaws.

Huang Yue was indeed a very scheming person, and she had to teach her a lesson.
