Xiao Niang's heart jumped with joy — — "Wuwuwuwu!" "wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu!
He was still going for the mother and daughter pair?
"Your father asked you if you already knew three days ago that your sister had attacked the white fox, but you waited for a good opportunity to retaliate against the Xiao family and your sister, so you endured it until this moment. Wait until you have all the evidence before starting to make trouble for them, then use your grandmother's anger to suppress them."
What... Everyone was stunned as they looked at Lian Yanqing, while Aunt Xiao was also stunned —
"Yan Qing, you …" "What do you mean?" Lian Rou's heart sank as he asked while looking at Lian Ruyue. He tightly gripped the scepter in his hand.
Lian Ruyue's face was shocked at first, but then she eagerly said, "Father is innocent. If Yue Er knew about this three days ago, she would have told grandmother immediately. Why would she watch the white fox suffer and watch Grandmother become haggard?"
Aunt Xiao looked at Lian Yan Qing's face, then at Lian Ruyue, and suddenly understood something. Her anxiety gradually faded from her face, and her expression slowly relaxed.
It seemed that Lian Yueqing had investigated something in secret and discovered the cunning part of Lian Xiyue. This Lian Xiyue was being fooled by her intelligence this time. It was really easy for the prime minister of Yanqing to uncover the fox tail of a small direct daughter!
From an assistant minister to prime minister, Lian Yanqing was adept at playing with power. He would absolutely not allow anyone in the manor to play with power in front of him.
No one! No reason at all!
Now he was beginning to suspect that even Yueyue's intentions were more effective than any other method she could think of.
She looked at Lian Shiya and revealed a comfortable smile. Even Shiya understood what she meant and whispered to the servant that came to grab her, "Hurry and go!"
"Father …" Lian Yue gently bit her lower lip as she trembled. Her face was somewhat pale as if she did not expect that the situation would turn into this.
"Father, you have wronged big sister. She is definitely not such a person." Lian Meng immediately stood up to defend Lian Ru Yue.
She never thought that she would be questioning Xiao Xian Min and her daughter just now. But now, she suddenly changed the topic and pointed at Lian Ruyue, "Old master, don't you know how much grievance Yue Er had suffered in Yao City? How sad will she be if you suspect her now? Her filial piety towards you and her mother is in the eyes of everyone, so why would she do such a terrible thing? "
Lian Mu's hand trembled as he held the scepter. "Yanqing, are you mistaken? How could Yue Er be such a person?"
Lian Yanqing's face was as cold as ever. His fiery gaze seemed to pierce through Lian Meng Yue's body.
The atmosphere of the entire foxhouse was about to freeze!
"I've said that ever since Eldest Miss came back from Yao City, there has been no peace in the residence. There must have been people interfering with her every day. So it was Eldest Miss who wanted to take back the rights of the backyard. She really did put in a lot of effort to make Third Miss lose her favor!"
Aunt Xiao seemed to have completely grasped the initiative. Not only was it Lian Shiya's doing to drug the white fox, but she also pushed everything that had happened in the past onto Lian Ruyue's body without hesitation.
Even Shiya seized the opportunity and said, "Father, I told you, the parrot was caused by Big Sis. The parrot that I spent several hundred taels of silver to buy was clearly speaking auspicious words in the mansion, but how did it suddenly turn into another one right in front of the princess and even injure her, causing me to nearly be beheaded! Elder sister, this move of yours is really poisonous! What did my little sister do wrong? Are you going to do this to me? "
Lian Shiya said as she lowered her head to wipe her tears away with the handkerchief. She looked extremely wronged.
"Eldest Miss, if you have any complaints about me and the third miss, then just come at us. Why are you disturbing the old mistress and the prime minister by making a mess of the Residence of Prime Minister?" Auntie Xiao spoke with a tone of profound righteousness, taking advantage of this opportunity to pour dirty water on Lian Ru Yue's body.
"Auntie Xiao, you're too innocent. It seems like the medicine given to the white fox has nothing to do with Shiya." Hu Shi grunted coldly and said.
"That's right. No matter what, it's not wrong of you to use this pill. Even if Eldest Uncle wants to investigate the matter and not report it to you, he won't be able to prevent the two of you from committing crimes!" Mrs Liu had always disliked Xiao Xianmin as an aunt holding the power of the mansion. Now that she had finally managed to suppress her, she naturally didn't want her to rise again.
In short, everyone had their own thoughts in such a deep courtyard.
"…" Hearing Mrs Hu and Mrs Liu's words, Aunt Xiao's originally high spirits were suppressed, but she still said, "Third Young Miss will be punished for wrongdoing, but Eldest Young Miss shouldn't be let off if she harbors ill intentions."
All of a sudden, the people started exchanging words with each other. The scene was extremely intense.
"Alright!" At this moment, Lian Ruyue, who had been silent all this time, stood up. All eyes immediately turned towards her, only to see that she first walked in front of her mother and deeply bowed, saying, "Grandmother, Yue Er thanks you for your trust."
Then, she walked in front of Lian Yanqing with her bright and clear eyes, looked at him honestly, and said, "Father, what did Yue'er do wrong? Every time something happened, you wouldn't punish or warn her; instead, you would always blame me.
As she spoke, two crystal clear tears slowly rolled down her face from the corner of her eyes. Her eyes were so clear, so innocent, that no one could find any flaw in them through those sparkling tears.
Lian Yan Qing, on the other hand, still had a cold expression on his face. He expressionlessly looked at Lian Meng Yue and said in a deep voice, "Come in!"
When he finished, he saw a maidservant wearing a green gown with her head lowered and body trembling as she walked in. When she saw the scene in front of her, she was so frightened that her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground.
"S-Lord …" That voice sounded like it was choked by the King of Hell, it was weak and feeble.
Lian Meng Yue looked over and saw that the one kneeling on the ground was actually …
"Jade Bamboo?" When Senior Servant Song saw this, she gave a start. "Old madam, this is a lowly girl from Qingan Courtyard who specializes in heavy work."
"What's going on?" Her mother looked over to Lian Yanqing with a questioning gaze.
Lian Ru Yue slightly narrowed her eyes as she looked at Yu Zhu. The First Madam's face paled as she secretly tightened her grip on the handkerchief in her hand.
Lian Yan Qing looked disdainfully at the maid below him and said:
"Tell me what you know."
"Yes …" Yu Zhu looked timidly at Lian Xiyue before suddenly prostrating himself on the ground and saying, "Prime minister, madame, that day …" "That day, a servant was out in the rain …"
