"Princess!" The nurse suddenly turned to Feng Yuheng and said pleadingly, "Just now I heard from the maid that the princess had been here. I wonder if you saw who killed our eldest young master? Please tell me clearly, princess! I beg you!" As she spoke, she kowtowed.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Feng Yuheng. Feng Yuheng remembered that they had run into a little girl when they returned to the front yard when they were young. It seemed that the girl had casually mentioned that she had seen her. This was not a big deal, but because of Lu Cuo's death, she was pushed to the forefront.
But what can I do? Doubt her? What a joke.
Feng Yuheng snorted coldly, "Yes, I have been here before, because when Little Prince Feiyu was running around with Zirui, he saw a man with a strange whereabouts wandering around Xiyuan, so I came to take a look."
The nurse was startled and blurted out, "Strange man? What do you mean, princess? My young lady just married into the Yao Mansion today. Princess, please don't put this crime on my young lady!"
Feng Yuheng was puzzled, "What crime? Did this princess say the crime?"
The nurse was speechless, but still said unwillingly: "The princess just said that a strange man was wandering around the wedding courtyard. This, this is not good for the new lady's reputation."
"Then why is Lu Yao worried about her reputation when she can meet a man in private?" Huang Quan couldn't bear to hear it anymore and interrupted, "When we came here, we saw your young lady and the dead man talking in a very obscure way."
"This..." The nurse was shocked, and then denied it flatly, "Young lady, you can't say that!" As she said that, she quickly kowtowed to Yao Jingjun and said loudly, "Master, you have to make the decision for my young lady! That's right, the young lady came out to see the young master, because the young master has been in another province, and the young lady didn't get back after getting married. After finally arriving, she wanted to come and talk to the young lady. They are siblings, and it is normal for them to meet. In order to celebrate the young lady's wedding, the young master also gave a pair of gold and jade Ruyi. If the master doesn't believe it, he can send someone to the wedding room to get it. I know that it is wrong for the young lady to come out to see people privately, but no matter how wrong it is, he is her own brother, which is not related to the princess's implication!" The nurse spoke with emotion, wiping tears as she spoke, and at the end, she cried to Feng Yuheng, "Please be kind to the princess and let my young lady go!"
Feng Yuheng almost laughed out loud, thinking that the nurse was being too hasty in taking the blame. There was a missing link here!
However, the words of the nanny made everyone understand. To put it bluntly, this matter was quite simple. It was just that the brother came to see his sister and gave her a wedding gift. What was wrong with that? The key point was why the brother died. What the nanny meant was...
"Hey!" Xuan Tiange suddenly spoke up and asked the nurse, "Are you mentally ill? The eldest young master in the family is dead, but instead of asking the eldest master of the Yao family to find the murderer, why are you biting our Ah Heng here? Don't you open your dog eyes and see if this is someone you can afford to bite? You are just a mad dog!"
The nurse's face turned pale, and she was shaking with her hands on the ground. She thought that today's hurdle was really difficult. Not only was there Princess Ji'an, but there was also a first-class princess from the Dashun Dynasty helping her. How could she successfully transfer the matter? She glanced at Lu Cuo's body again, and a flash of disgust flashed across her face, but she immediately returned to normal.
The nurse didn't know what to say for a moment, but a maid who came with Lu Yao said tremblingly: "The murderer, the murderer can't be the princess? She just walked over here!"
"Heh!" Feng Yuheng really laughed this time. Looking at the three servants kneeling on the ground, she felt that it would be insulting to her intelligence if she challenged them! But she had to say something. After all, there were so many people watching. There might be some confused people. This happened in the Yao family. She had to give an explanation to the Yao family. So she put away her smile, but the corners of her lips were still raised evilly. If someone looked closely at her expression, she looked exactly like the ninth prince Xuan Tianming.
She asked the girl, "There are many people coming and going, why do you say that the murderer is me? I have never met your young master, how could you have the intention to kill me?"
The girl also made sense: "The princess and the young master are strangers, but the princess and my young lady have a grudge, so it's inevitable that innocent people will be harmed. In addition, there are indeed many people walking around, and there are even more servants, but the young master is a man after all, and he also has some martial arts skills. How could an ordinary servant kill him? I think... I think only the princess has superb martial arts skills, so she can do it."
The more she spoke, the lower her voice became. It wasn't because she felt guilty. Since she had planned to frame someone, she wouldn't lose on a single word of reason. She just happened to meet Xuan Tianming's gaze when she glanced at him. His gaze was like a wolf's, and she was so scared that she almost bit her tongue.
This girl's analysis was very logical, but the people present were not fools. They knew very well who Feng Yuheng was. He killed the eldest young master of the Lu family just because he had a grudge against Lu Yao, and he did it in the Yao Mansion. Princess Ji'an must be crazy.
Before Feng Yuheng could speak, the eldest prince got angry first and shouted, "Nonsense!"
The second prince also echoed, "Are all the girls from the Lu family crazy? Do you know what kind of crime it is to slander the princess?"
The nurse also became capable at this time, and continued in a trembling voice: "But what if...what if there is no slander?"
"Brother!" Just as the nurse said this, a scream suddenly came from Zixiyuan'er, and then a woman in a bright red wedding gown ran towards them. Who else could it be but Lu Yao?
Yao Shu subconsciously went towards her. Lu Yao ran up to him and leaned on Yao Shu's hand for support, but she stared at the corpse with tears streaming down her face.
"Brother!" She threw herself beside the corpse, crying and shouting, "Brother, who is so cruel? Who killed you? Brother! You rushed back from another province overnight just to send my younger sister to marry. The jade ruyi you gave to my husband and I hasn't been shown to my husband yet. How could you die? Brother! Don't scare me, open your eyes and look, I am Yao'er! The younger sister you loved the most since childhood! Brother--"
Lu Yao cried so sincerely that all the ladies present wiped their tears.
Yao Shu kept persuading her: "Yao'er, don't cry and hurt yourself. Get up quickly."
"Husband!" Lu Yao suddenly knelt in front of Yao Shu and begged, "Husband, you must make a decision for my brother! My brother died in the Yao Mansion, husband, you must not sit idly by and do nothing!"
Yao Shu felt sorry for Lu Yao, but Lu Jingjun didn't like what he heard. He said in a cold voice, "How can you say you just sit back and do nothing? How can our Yao family be that kind of family? Since this happened, we must investigate it thoroughly. He dared to come to our Yao family to kill people. I want to ask who gave him the courage!"
Lu Yao shuddered. It was said that the head of the Yao family was easy to get along with, but when Yao Jingjun got angry, he was just as fierce as her father, Lu Song.
"Yao'er, get up first, let's talk later." Yao Shu was still pulling Lu Yao.
At this time, the nurse and the maid rushed to Lu Yao, crying in unison: "Miss, the eldest young master died unjustly, and Princess Ji'an is not unrelated to this matter!" No one saw that when the nurse said this, her subordinates pinched Lu Yao hard, and then said: "The maids of the Yao family in our courtyard said that they saw Princess Ji'an hurriedly returning here before. The princess has always had some grudges with the young lady, but I didn't expect that this grudge would be avenged on the eldest young master. The eldest young master is really wronged!"
Feng Yuheng?
Lu Yao's mind was turning rapidly. In fact, she had already heard some of the situation here before, and knew that her servants had all pointed their spearheads at Feng Yuheng. Now there was no other way, and the only way was to stick with them. So she simply gritted her teeth and shouted at Feng Yuheng: "Why did you want to kill my elder brother? You have a grudge against me, why did you want to kill my elder brother?"
"What a great drama of brother-sister love!" Finally, Xuan Tianming spoke, and before Feng Yuheng could speak, he couldn't listen any more.
Xuan Tianming is the youngest among the princes, but he is also the one that people fear the most. At this moment, there is no trace of anger on his face, and he still looks like he doesn't care about anything. He even puts one arm on Feng Yuheng's shoulder and helps her pick a dead leaf from her hair. However, what he said made the servants of the Lu family feel cold all over - "Don't say that the man was not killed by my wife. Even if she did, so what? Your name is... Lu what? I don't understand, who do you think you are? What do you think the Lu family is in my eyes? I didn't expect that in the great Shun, there would be someone who dared to provoke my beloved concubine. Are you, the Lu family, ready to anger me? But can you bear the consequences of my revenge?"
The corners of his lips were raised wickedly, and he stood beside Feng Yuheng, looking as handsome as a painting. But this painting was scary and could kill people, so much so that Lu Yao didn't even dare to look at it again, fearing that Xuan Tianming would kill her with a glance.
The Lu family members dared not speak again. At this moment, they heard a gentle and elegant voice from among the princes, saying to the servants around them: "Go to the Lu Mansion and invite Prime Minister Lu over here. If he asks the reason, tell him to come and collect the body!"
Xuan Tianhua never said anything excessive, and rarely said anything too harsh in public, but this time he opened everyone's eyes. The word "collect the bodies" made people know that this time, the Lu family angered not only the Ninth Prince, but also the Seventh Prince.
The Ninth Prince will catch fire if he touches fire, and once he catches fire, he will burn everything, and he will take revenge for any slight.
The Seventh Prince is a reserved person who doesn't get angry easily, but once he gets angry, the person who angered him will receive even more fierce revenge than the Ninth Prince!
