Chapter 227 I hate it
As soon as Xiao Muheng finished speaking, Lu Youping angrily said, "You bastard, don't you know what you did? Hand over my daughter."
In front of Liu Xiang, Lu Youping also took it all. Anyway, many people knew that his daughter was kidnapped by Xiao Muheng, so Liu Xiang wouldn't be a big deal. Besides, he also had to let Liu Xiang see what kind of person he, Xiao Muheng, was.
I told you not to humiliate my Lu family.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Youping finished speaking, Liu Xiang's cold eyes turned to Xiao Muheng: "What do you mean?"
What does it mean to hand over your daughter?
Xiao Muheng gritted his teeth in hatred: "Master Lu, what do you mean by pestering me again and again? I said that I did not kidnap Lu Mingzhu. Even if it is reported to the government, I will still say the same thing. Master Lu, are you deliberately taking revenge on me?"
Damn Lu Youping, didn't both parties tacitly agree to call off the marriage? He actually came to trick him just when he was about to get married.
With such a commotion, even if he was really innocent, he could not hide the fact that he had been engaged to Lu Mingzhu from Prime Minister Liu. Although it would not cause a big impact, who knew whether Prime Minister Liu would have any complaints about him in his heart.
But Xiao Muheng couldn't understand it even more. Lu Youping had clearly agreed to cancel the engagement, so how could he have the courage to offend Prime Minister Liu?
Liu was confused by the conversation between the two. He looked around and finally looked at He Yu. He asked with a serious face: "Lord He, what is going on?"
He Yu's heart trembled, and he said respectfully: "My Lord, Lord Lu was kidnapped this afternoon. I saw with my own eyes that the kidnappers were Master Xiao and his servants, so I came with the Eighth Prince to report to the authorities and asked me to help find them. Since I am the Prefect of Jingzhao, I cannot just turn a blind eye. If Master Xiao really kidnapped Miss Lu, please let her go and pretend that this incident never happened."
Otherwise, if the matter gets out of hand, it will be embarrassing for everyone.
"Nonsense." Xiao Muheng roared angrily: "I have been inspecting the shop all day today, and my housekeeper can testify to it."
Lu Youping sneered: "As a servant in your house, naturally, whatever you say is what it is."
Xiao Muheng said angrily: "Lord Lu is the same. He believes whatever his servants say. Who knows who kidnapped your daughter? You put the blame on me." As he spoke, he bowed to Chu Jinyan, Liu Xiang and others one by one: "Your Highness, father-in-law, Lord He, please make the decision for me."
Chu Jinyan looked at the handsome man in front of him with cold eyes, feeling a strong disgust in his heart. He didn't know if it was because Xiao Muheng had been schemed against by Lu Xiang, so he was disgusted with Xiao Muheng, or for some other reason, but in any case, this man was an eyesore.
"What are you doing? If you search, everything will become clear. Come on, search carefully." He said expressionlessly, exuding an intimidating aura, which made Xiao Muheng grit his teeth.
"Your Highness, you ordered a search of the mansion, which clearly proves that it was the student's fault."
Chu Jinyan looked down at him, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, with a hint of indifference flickering in them: "If you are innocent, I will apologize to you."
Xiao Muheng choked: "......"
If he really asked the Eighth Prince to apologize, his death would not be far away.
The Eighth Prince probably said this because he was certain that he didn't dare to ask him to apologize. In this case, if he tried to stop him again, he would be going against the prince, and even Prime Minister Liu would not be able to protect him.
Lu Youping was immediately moved and looked towards Chu Jinyan. He didn't expect that the cold and indifferent Eighth Prince would defend him so much.
When He Yu heard Chu Jinyan's words, he didn't dare to smooth things over and went to search the courtyard himself.
If you offend Prime Minister Liu, you will be bullied in the court, but if you offend the Eighth Prince, you may even lose your life.
Besides, he is now counting on his son to bring honor to the family by becoming the Eighth Prince.
Xiao Muheng looked at the people who were searching the mansion and his face turned blue with anger.
Chu Jinyan stood in the yard with his hands behind his back. The fragmented moonlight poured down, turning the background behind him into an ink painting!
Prime Minister Liu looked at the stunning man in front of him and said, "Your Highness, please go into the main hall and wait for a while."
Xiao Muheng quickly came to his senses and invited Chu Jinyan to come in and sit down.
“I think it’s dirty.”
With just one sentence, Liu Xiang and Xiao Muheng's faces suddenly became extremely ugly and gloomy.
Prime Minister Liu has been flattered wherever he goes since he sat on the position of Prime Minister. He is also related to the Second Prince, so everyone would give him some face. But today, he was severely slapped in the face by Chu Jinyan. The rage in his heart almost burst out of his chest, but he didn't dare to fight back.
Xiao Muheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Lu Youping glanced at Chu Jinyan secretly, thinking that the son favored by the emperor was arrogant.
Even though he was on the opposite side of the Second Prince, he was unwilling to even put in some superficial effort. Looking at Liu's gloomy face, oh my...
Lu Youping actually felt that he deserved to die.
There's a feeling of finally getting rid of my anger.
Chu Jinyan was unwilling to sit in the main hall, and Xiao Muheng naturally couldn't let him stand all the time, so he ordered people to bring out a few armchairs, and they all sat directly in the yard.
The Xiao Mansion was very large. Although no one lived there, searching every room was still a very tedious task. An hour and a half later, He Yu came hurriedly with a serious expression on his face.
"Your Highness." He walked up to Chu Jinyan, bowed, and said without waiting for Chu Jinyan to ask: "I found a woman in a room in the backyard. I wonder if she is Lord Lu's daughter?"
Although they asked this, the purpose of their coming today was to find someone. If it wasn’t Lu Youping’s daughter, that wouldn’t make sense.
But the people who were searching were all men, so how could they dare to touch the girl?
"It must be." Lu Youping stood up suddenly and looked at Xiao Muheng with blazing eyes: "What else do you have to say?"
When Xiao Muheng heard what He Yu said, he was struck by lightning and stared in disbelief: "Impossible, this is impossible..."
Liu Xiang also looked at Xiao Muheng in surprise.
He always thought that the Eighth Prince deliberately came to embarrass him and Xiao Muheng, so he did this. He never thought that this would actually happen.
Chu Jinyan said to He Yu: "Lord He, since someone doesn't admit it, bring him here and make him give up."
He Yu wanted to say that the officers were all men and it would be inconvenient to touch the girl, but then he remembered that there were maids at Xiao's house, so he turned around and asked someone to invite two maids to bring the girl over.
When Lu Mingzhu was brought here, the ropes on her body had not been untied yet and she looked drowsy.
Ah Man fed her medicine before stuffing her into the Xiao Mansion.
When Xiao Muheng saw that it was really Lu Mingzhu, he felt terrible. He rushed over and glared at her fiercely: "Why are you here?"
Lu Youping snorted coldly: "You are still pretending at this time. If you didn't kidnap her, could it be that my daughter ran here on her own?"
Even if he doesn't like Lu Mingzhu that much now, he can't tolerate Xiao Muheng treating her like this.
