"If the Third Miss is still at the Marquis of Chengyi's residence, then who is the guest at the Prince of Ping's residence? This Third Miss was personally brought out of the Marquis of Chengyi's residence by the Crown Prince's personal maid."
These words were almost all lies, of course, but Li Wenruo's presence at the Prince Ping's residence was true.
Would Cheng Yibo dare to refute these lies?
If Li Wenruo wasn't taken away by Jiang Xuelin's men, but rather kidnapped, then... the truth that the Chengyi Earl's Mansion wanted to poison Li Wenruo can no longer be hidden.
Neither Fu Hanlai nor Li Wenfeng intended to kill Cheng Yibo's family; they were merely trying to force Cheng Yibo to acknowledge a fact.
—That is, Cheng Yibo was indeed greedy for wealth and power, and tried to turn his daughter into a virgin to be played with by the powerful.
Would Cheng Yibo dare to deny it?
He dared not.
Because if you don't acknowledge it, you'll face even more challenges.
Of course, he could also firmly deny that the woman in the Prince Ping's mansion was not their third daughter, but it wouldn't be difficult to prove Li Wenruo's identity. His previous statement was only based on the premise that Li Wenruo had indeed disappeared or even died, but now Li Wenruo is fine.
"Minister Li, is this true?" Emperor Xuande listened to Li Wenfeng and the Earl of Chengyi's explanations and let Fu Han speak until now before finally asking.
His voice betrayed no emotion, but Cheng Yibo's back was soaked with sweat. He opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Which one should we acknowledge?
He doesn't want to admit either of them!
He now hates Li Wenfeng and his sister, as well as Madam Chengyi, to the point of despair.
As for why she hated Lady Chengyi, the reason is simple: if she had sent someone over that day and instead of waiting for Li Wenruo to eat the poisoned pastry herself, but instead had someone force-feed her the poison, none of this would have happened today.
If Li Wenruo had really died that night, he wouldn't be facing any of this now!
As for whether Li Wenfeng would go mad and destroy the entire Chengyi Earl's Mansion if Li Wenruo had really died that day, he naturally wouldn't think about that at the moment.
"Your Majesty, your humble servant...your humble servant..."
Seeing Cheng Yibo's loss of composure, the officials from the Court of Judicial Review and the Ministry of Justice who were listening nearby shook their heads inwardly before stepping forward.
"Your Majesty, I urge you to thoroughly investigate this matter! To put it mildly, this is merely a family affair of the Marquis of Chengyi, but such a heartless and cruel person, capable of even harming his own flesh and blood, makes me highly suspicious that there may be other motives within the Marquis of Chengyi's household!"
"Your Majesty, I also request a thorough investigation into this matter. The Empress Dowager issued the imperial decree out of concern for the safety of our families. With our families at peace, we can better serve the people and share Your Majesty's burdens. This is out of Her Majesty's benevolence, but now the Earl of Chengyi is outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, attempting to deceive His Majesty and betray His Majesty's good intentions."
Emperor Xuande nodded as he listened to the two officials' words.
Let them make a scene, let them become known to the whole world. Therefore, the Chengyi Earl's Mansion must be dealt with properly, which was also Emperor Xuande's initial thought.
Fu Hanlai and Prince Ping disappeared again, as if the father and son had nothing to do with the matter. The ensuing discussion was indeed irrelevant to them, after all, they were just playboys.
Prince Ping understood Emperor Xuande's thoughts, but Fu Hanlai was more focused on Li Wenfeng at this moment.
Cheng Yibo is fine, but Li Wenfeng is still injured!
...
The Prince Ping's residence at this time.
The first snow of the winter finally arrived late. The snowflakes were not big, just small ones, but they fluttered down. Jiang Xuelin, who had already returned, sat on the roof of Yuhong Courtyard with a little girl in her arms, staring blankly at the horizon.
Yuhongyuan was the small courtyard where Li Wenruo was temporarily staying.
Originally, this secluded little courtyard didn't have a name, but after Li Wenruo moved in, Jiang Xuelin gave it a name.
With the rainbow.
I only hope that Wenruo, this little girl who has experienced so many hardships, can be like a rainbow in the sky after the rain, and that she will no longer be afraid of wind and rain, and that her whole life will be filled with sunshine.
"Sister Xuelin".
"Um?"
How is my brother?
The little girl nestled in Jiang Xuelin's arms, raised her face and asked, her heart filled with worry.
She couldn't help at all, so she could only hide here and watch her brother risk his life for her.
"You might suffer a bit, after all, it's like a son suing his father, and you have to endure some hardship before the case is accepted. But don't worry, Fu Ashou may not have many other skills, but he's very good at this kind of thing. He'll definitely take care of things, and there won't be any problems."
Hearing Jiang Xuelin say this, Li Wenruo nodded.
It was snowing and the temperature was low, with a cold wind blowing from the roof, but Li Wenruo didn't feel cold at all.
She was wrapped in a thick cloak, which kept her very warm, and Jiang Xuelin held her tightly in his arms, so there was no worry about her falling off.
Yes, as someone who practices martial arts, Jiang Xuelin feels very warm.
"Sister Xuelin, thank you and the young master."
She knew that if it weren't for Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai, she and her brother would definitely not have had a good ending, and she would not have escaped that hellhole. She would probably have grown up in those days, and then been sent to a powerful mansion in a small sedan chair, and then entered another hellhole, and so on until she died.
"No need to thank us. After all, Fu Ashou is a member of the royal family and the emperor's own nephew. Of course, the affairs of the world are related to him. If he doesn't encounter such things, he can just let it go. But if he does encounter such injustices, how can he pretend not to see them?"
Jiang Xuelin understood Fu Hanlai's personality.
He may be a playboy, but he'll also get involved in injustices.
They intervened without hesitation.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Jiang Xuelin, worried that Li Wenruo would catch a cold, pulled her closer to her.
Li Wenruo: "..."
