At this "just the right time", another piece of sad and depressed news came out from Lord Xiao's Sky Prison, saying that he had to go home and recuperate from his illness. It was even more so because of Xiao Jingyu's innocence that increased their momentum.
This incident was like a spark that ignited a fire that pierced the sky in the capital.
The previous victim, the Liu Family, was now the main culprit. Xiao Jingyu, on the other hand, cleared away all the suspicions in a moment of carelessness.
Thus, the Liu Family and the Mrs Liu became the target of public criticism.
When Mrs Liu and Lyusch's were taken into custody, the Liu Family's face was also swept away.
The night was as dark as ink.
The atmosphere in the Wei Mansion was heavy and depressing.
With the lamp in the study, Liu Yuan knelt in front of Yuwen Chenglian's feet, heavily kowtowed three times, and said with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, it is all because of this official's inconvenience! This official did not know that things would turn out this way. "This lowly official …"
"What's the use of saying all these now!? This king has painstakingly waited for this rare opportunity to kill Xiao Jingyu, but all of it was destroyed by you! From today onwards, Xiao Jingyu will be formally reused by Yuwen He, so it won't be that easy for this king to get rid of him! This King has gained another formidable opponent. You understand, you understand! "
Yuwen Chenglian was furious, he kicked over.
Fortunately, Liu Yuan had dodged the attack fast enough so he didn't get kicked in the chest.
"Useless trash!" Seeing that he was dodging, Yuwen Chenglian became even angrier.
As he spoke, he forcefully swept over all the items on the table, smashing them into pieces.
Liu Yuan's face turned white from fright, "Your Highness, please calm your anger! This official will do his best to make it up to you! "
"What are you making up for? What can you make up for it! Xiao Jingyu had already been brought out of the Sky Cage and brought back to the Palace! What else can you do other than make a ruckus? What a piece of trash! If you take over the position of marble temple Elder, other than taking the opportunity to get some silver, what else can you do! "
"I …"
I sacrificed my concubine, sacrificed the reputation of Liu Estate!
Liu Yuan had a lot of words to say, but he swallowed them back when they reached his mouth.
It was useless no matter how angry he was. He still had to rely on the huge mountain known as the Wei Wang. If they were to lose all decorum, he wouldn't even know how he died.
Liu Yuan could only swallow his anger.
Yuwen Chenglian became even angrier and scolded Liu Yuan ruthlessly, as if he was trying to vent all his anger on Liu Yuan, to the point of scolding him as unpleasant as possible.
When Liu Yuan left the Duke Palaces, there was no need to mention how ugly his expression was.
In the dead of night, not many people would pay attention to the carriage that had stopped outside the back door of the Duke's Palace. After Liu Yuan got on the carriage, he ordered the carriage driver in a cold voice, but he did not notice the person who had been secretly monitoring him …
After Liu Yuan left, Yao Ziyan walked out from behind the screen.
"Your Royal Highness, you spoke so ruthlessly just now, is that right?" Yao Ziyan looked at Yuwen Chenglian hesitantly, as if he was worried for him.
Yuwen Chenglian scolded Liu Yuan harshly to vent his anger, but the anger in him had already been reduced by half.
He glanced at Yao Ziyan and said unconcernedly, "So what if you're talking about it ruthlessly? This king knows that he won't have the guts to act because he can only rely on this great backer of mine to become rich. If he offends this king, I'll make him die without knowing how he died!"
A calculating light flashed in Yao Ziyan's eyes, after which she looked at Yuwen Chenglian with a regretful expression.
"Your Highness, it's not easy to find such a good opportunity to get rid of Xiao Jingyu. "Once he receives the king's favor, the king's grand plan will be even more difficult!"
"Of course This King is unwilling!" Yuwen Chenglian hatefully retorted, "What good idea do you have?"
"I can't say it's a good idea, but I do have a little suggestion." Yao Ziyan laughed when he heard it, revealing a pleased smile.
"Tell me about it."
"Right now, the scandal of the Liu Estate has turned into the biggest joke in the capital, causing Liu Yuan to lose all face. Tonight, he was scolded by the Prince again. He did not dare to take action against the Prince, so this debt would definitely be borne by Xiao Jingyu. With his personality, he would never let things go after suffering such a huge loss. Your Highness, why not give it a push? "
"What do you mean?"
Yao Ziyan leaned over, and said in a low voice to Yuwen Chenglian, "Your Highness, how about this?"
After the Beijing Zhaoyin's interrogation, Liu Yuan went straight to the Wei Wang Manor and returned to the Liu Estate.
There were endless quarrels in the residence, as well as the wailing of his concubine, Xi Er, and the other people's mocking and ridicule.
There were also the voices of others. In short, it was so noisy that it sounded like a market.
"What are you guys arguing about!?" What are you saying! " When Liu Yuan appeared, he shouted loudly.
The hall suddenly became silent.
The hall was filled with people, all of them Liu Estate's wives. Each and every one of them were crying unhappily, obviously because of the evidence that Lyusch's had admitted to being a criminal in Beijing Zhaoyin's court today.
"Old master, you're finally back!" After a moment of silence, Xi Er pounced towards Liu Yuan first, "Old master, you have to avenge me, that woman framed me, and Master Fu Yin only gave her a temporary prison sentence, Xi Er is not convinced!"
The rest of the people followed suit and jeered as well. They talked back and forth, with the main idea being, "The First Wife will take care of whoever she doesn't like. What will she do in the future?"
They had been blaming each other just now, but now they were of the same mind.
"Then what do you want?" Liu Yuan's face turned ugly.
However, Xi Er thought that he was waiting for to act like a spoiled child, and leaned into Liu Yuan's embrace, "Old master, no matter what, I have to let her sentence me to exile in order to dispel the anger in my heart."
But unexpectedly, Liu Yuan suddenly dodged away, causing Xi Er to almost fall face first onto the ground, as he pouted, "Master, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing? Old master would like to ask what do you want from me!"
Liu Yuan was currently in a rage, and had been scolded by Yuwen Chenglian to the point that he had no place to vent his anger. Now that Xi Er had made such a ruckus, she was on fire.
"Don't think that I don't know what you, this slut, are thinking in your heart. You think that you can take good care of me just by banishing Cai family, and you think that I, Liu Yuan, have not lost enough face today! You actually went to Beijing Zhaoyin to cause trouble! "
"The third generation's face of our Liu Family has been completely thrown away by an ignorant slut like you! Let me tell you, from today onwards, you will move to the woodshed and meditate! Without my permission, you are not allowed to come out! "
Just a moment ago, it was still noisy, but at this moment, everyone quieted down.
Everyone looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe that Xi Er, who was always in the grasp of the Old Master, would lose her favor just because she said so.
Xi Er stared blankly, and started crying "wow", "Master! How could you say something like that! Xi Er has followed you for so long, you, you still have no conscience! "
"Butler, take this woman to the woodshed." Send a blanket to her, without my permission, no one else is allowed to care about her! "
After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left, showing no mercy.
In the hall, everyone looked at each other. No one made a sound.
After Liu Yuan left, Xi Er sat paralyzed on the ground and started wailing.
"You dead heartless, who said last night on my bed that I'd be the first wife? God damn men, none of them are good!"
Xi Er was born in a brothel, so once she scolded people, it was immediately exposed.
The butler did not stay polite with her and gave the orders to the two sturdy maids, forcing Xi Er, who was still hanging on to walk, to stand up and take him away.
After Xi Er was brought away, the rest of the people in the hall also dispersed, but they did not forget to walk and discuss.
"That Xi Er also has such a day. I had thought that she would continue to be complacent."
"That's right, I thought that bitch Xi Er would always get the upper hand, but who would have thought that she would lose her favor just because she said it."
"If she loses her favor, wouldn't we have a chance? Furthermore, that big lady who likes to cause trouble has been locked up again. In the future, we will have no say in this Liu Estate's backyard. "
The woman dressed in silk was as beautiful as a flower, but her heart was incomparably vicious.
Others were unlucky enough to add insult to injury while they were down.
The Hou clan was as deep as the sea. For a man with money and power, his heart could change at any moment.
The so-called love was nothing but an illusion.
In the corner outside the hall, Peach Blossom was hiding in a dark place that no one could see. Her face was full of tears.
My lady. Is it worth it for you to marry such a man and do so much for him
Compared to the constant chattering and discussions from the families in the capital and the ups and downs in Liu Estate, the palace was much calmer.
However, Xiao Ruyue had personally witnessed a tall and cold girl flying through the window in a different way.
When the girl flew in without any warning, Xiao Ruyue was being toyed with by Yuwen He, and when the wolf was about to pounce on the little sheep, the girl came in.
Yuwen He's plan of pouncing on sheep and hungry wolves had failed.
The young lady knelt down on one knee and bowed towards Yuwen He and Xiao Ruyue. Although it was the same etiquette, Xiao Ruyue could clearly feel that this young lady had some sort of enmity towards her.
Don't ask why, this is a woman's intuition.
"Why did you come back?" Yuwen He hugged Xiao Ruyue, and didn't even look at her.
His attitude towards this girl was also a bit cold.
The woman's intuition was telling Xiao Ruyue that the two people in front of him had something wrong with their relationship.
"When this subordinate heard that something had happened in the capital, I was afraid that Chong Yue and the others might ruin Master's plans." The girl sounded eager.
Although she deliberately tried to cover it up, her eyes kept drifting towards Yuwen He. This point did not escape Xiao Ruyue's eyes.
This girl did it so obviously that as long as she wasn't blind, she would be able to see through it.
Did this girl adore her master?
Although it was a normal dog blood bridge, and the maid fell in love with her master, Xiao Ruyue felt a strange feeling in his heart.
She looked at Yuwen He, and Yuwen He also looked at her. His hand stroked her hair, as if he wanted to let her feel at ease.
'Is it to make her feel safe? '
Xiao Ruyue was perturbed.
Was he afraid that she would misunderstand?
'How could she be mistaken?! '
This knowledge caused Xiao Ruyue's chest to stiffen. Just when did it become like this?
The weight he held in her heart was already so great that with a single glance, she could understand his thoughts and intentions.
Yuwen He's gaze turned towards Thirteen who was kneeling on the ground, "Thirteen, you followed me for so many years, you should know the consequences of leaving your post."
