After stabbing Mrs. Liu to death, Qi Nansheng knelt down towards Mr. Mu and said, "Please my father-in-law, for the sake of Mrs. Liu's death, let the rest of the Qi family go."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Ji's expression changed several times.
What he said was good. He was telling Liu's two sons that Liu's death was forced by Mr. Mu. Indirectly, it was forced by the Ji family. The Qi family was just a small minister's house. Although Mr. Mu resigned, he still relied on the Ji family.
If Liu was not stabbed to death, the entire Qi family would have died. For the sake of the Qi family, he had to kill the Liu family to give an explanation to the Ji family.
Mrs. Ji sneered in her heart, and then thought that the Qi family was the third prince and would soon be investigated, and she had nothing to pursue. Then he said: "Master Qi is joking. The murderer has been brought to justice. We have no reason to pursue this matter anymore. Please, Master Qi, bury my sister safely."
This is the first time Mrs. Ji admits that Mu Yun is her sister. She was filled with emotions.
Qi Nansheng seems to not believe that the Ji family will not investigate Mu Yun's matter. Mrs. Ji's expression is unclear and difficult to understand.
Mrs. Ji and Mr. Mu are back, and everyone in the Ji family is waiting in the living room.
【Mother is back, mother is back, tell me quickly, is Mu Yun's matter done? 】
Jihua was hugged by Duanmuyi, and she raised her buttocks to ask Mrs. Ji to hold her.
Mrs. Ji took Ji Hua and said seriously: "Mu Yun is dead."
Everyone was shocked, why did they actually die after they had agreed to fake death?
Ji Hua was also shocked.
【died? Isn't it fake death? Why is he really dead? Could it be that Mrs. Liu wanted to take advantage of the mother and her son, so she took action against Mu Yun? 】
"What's going on, mother?" Ji Linfeng asked with a worried look on his face. Could it be that, as the younger sister said, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but want to take the position of mistress?
The sad old Mr. Mu was helped by the housekeeper to sit down. Ji Linfeng asked Mrs. Ji what happened to the Qi family? You said you were going to fake death, how could you actually die?
Duanmuyi thoughtfully poured a glass of water for Mrs. Ji and Mr. Mu. "Mother, drink some water first and speak slowly."
Mrs. Ji took the tea cup and drank all the water before talking about what happened at the Qi family just now.
Probably the meaning is the same as Ji Hua's guess, that Mrs. Liu wanted to take the position of mistress and couldn't help but take action before them. Now Liu has paid with his life.
Because of the Lin family fire, the prince will soon find out the Qi family, and also find out that the Qi family is the third prince. Regardless of whether the Qi family did this or not, the Qi family must be eliminated.
A few people were talking, and news came from the palace. "Mrs. Hou, it's not good. Princess Jade has left the palace."
Ji Yushu had the strongest reaction. He stood up from his chair. He walked quickly out, and when he reached the door, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned back to face everyone's surprised gazes.
【Big brother's reaction is weird. Could it be that he likes Su Yuyue? 】
Ji Hua was filled with shock and doubt.
Ji Yushu’s handsome face turned slightly red and he coughed twice to cover up the embarrassment on his face. He turned around and sat back down. It was just that he was too anxious. Su Yuyue is no more beautiful than the pretentious ladies. Even if she is in danger, ordinary people are no match for her.
Ji Linfeng’s eyebrows moved, and there was a smile in Ji Yushu’s eyes. "Brother, do you want to find the princess? She is so powerful, even if she is in danger, it will only happen if someone else gets into trouble."
The smile on Ji Linfeng's face made Ji Yushu a little confused.
At this moment, Ji Hua’s heartbeat sounded again:
【It's not impossible if Su Yuyue really becomes my sister-in-law. Su Yuyue is actually quite kind-hearted. The reason why she left was probably because she didn't want to cause trouble to the queen and the prince. But what she didn't know was that even without her presence, the Lin family would still cause trouble for the prince. 】
【If the Lin family learns that Su Yuyue has left the palace, it will be troublesome to kill Su Yuyue in the middle of the robbery. 】
Hearing this, Ji Yushu knew where to find Su Yuyue.
Tafu Lin wanted to kill Su Yuyue, why didn't Su Yuyue not want to kill him? The day passes quickly. Qi Nansheng went back and forth to Shuntian Mansion to clear away the suspicion, leaving the matter of burying Mu Yun to Mrs. Qi. As a result, instead of being cleared of suspicion, he even got angry.
The prince asked Shuntian Mansion to investigate the servant of the Qi family based on the evidence given by the Lin family, but it turned out that Qi Nansheng was embezzling military pay.
As a minister of the Ministry of War, it is a serious crime to embezzle military pay. That night, Shuntian Mansion showed the evidence to the prince. The prince summoned the Qi family overnight, and also called Lord Ji, Prime Minister Lu and Taifu Lin to attend.
In the imperial study room, the prince sat high on the dragon chair, and the person sitting at the bottom was Prince Xian. The others, except Qi Nansheng who was kneeling, stood in the center of the hall.
Mr. Qian of Shuntian Prefecture presented the evidence to the prince, and Mr. De read it in public.
After reading it, Qi Nansheng refused to plead guilty. As long as he does not plead guilty, the prince cannot punish him now.
He has to wait until the day when the third prince turns over.
Qi Nansheng glared at Mr. Qian and said angrily: "If you want to impose a crime, why bother without saying anything?"
All the military salary he was greedy for was given to the third prince. The third prince will definitely not die without saving his life.
“Master Qi, the evidence is in front of you, do you think it makes sense to continue to quibble?”
Lord Qian looked at Qi Nansheng coldly and snorted in his heart: The prince wants to deal with you, even if you have ten heads, it won’t be enough. You are stupid enough. The third prince has no room for improvement and is still dreaming of spring and autumn dreams.
In Qi Nansheng's opinion, as long as the national teacher is powerful enough, there is nothing he can't do.
The current lurking is just for better layout.
Qi Nansheng added: "Evidence can be forged. Besides, I'm not quibbling at all. I just want to tell the facts."
"The fact is that you are not only greedy for military pay, but you also want to assassinate Mr. Lin, Princess Jade's uncle. Then frame it for me." Taifu Lin became angry when he thought of the five people who died. Because he spent a lot of effort cultivating those five people.
"I don't, Mr. Lin, please don't rant." As long as he doesn't die, the Qi family will have a chance to turn around.
So today he can just deny it.
Qi Nansheng knelt in the middle of the hall, glaring at everyone present.
Tafu Lin was about to laugh at Qi Nansheng's shamelessness. "Someone saw someone from your house sneaking around the back door that night. Do you really think you can still get through?"
"That man is just wearing the clothes of the Qi family. It does not mean that he is a member of the Qi family. Besides, it is the Taifu who had a problem with the princess. I can also think that the Taifu deliberately slandered my Qi family in order to frame her."
The prince's left hand lightly clasped the table, and the light flashing in his eyes was elusive.
Qi Nansheng could be convicted of being greedy, but he did not want to be convicted. "When someone comes, first put the men of the Qi family into prison, and confine the other female family members to the Qi Mansion."
Hearing this result, Qi Nansheng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he has life, he will definitely wait until the day when the third prince turns over.
What Qi Nansheng didn’t know was that he was destined to die in prison from the moment he entered prison. And his role is only to seduce the third prince.
Qi Nansheng was imprisoned, and Taifu Lin bit Su Yuyue and refused to let go. "Your Highness, the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law. This is the rule set by the late emperor."
The prince said coldly: "We will discuss this matter when the princess comes back."
Mrs. Lin snorted coldly: Whether she can come back depends on her own ability. (End of chapter)
