Sisters Qi Yuhuan and Qi Yujie were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
Qi Yujie couldn't bear it anymore. She pointed angrily at Chu Nanzhi and cursed loudly: "Chu, please don't go too far. Even if you are a princess in the Nu family's house, you are not allowed to be so presumptuous."
"I'm really sorry, auntie, I've been so presumptuous today."
Chu Nanzhi sat down directly in front of a stone bench in the center of the courtyard with a confident attitude.
This unscrupulous and arrogant gesture almost made Lin Jinxiao laugh out loud. If he hadn't guessed some of the clues she gave him, he would have thought that the lady was just fooling around.
Calmly taking the crutch from Yin Liuxuan's hand, he also walked slowly to Chu Nanzhi and sat down.
He looked at the two imperial uncles with uncertain faces, and said with a calm smile: "The third and sixth uncles came to Luyan Port all the way, but the nephew and the princess did not go to pick them up in person.
, it’s really rude, why don’t you come over and sit down and let’s soak our feet together.”
The cold tone was full of ridicule.
"Absurd, simply absurd."
Lin Tingkai's face was swollen with anger. He glanced at Lin Tingyan angrily and said displeasedly: "Lao Liu, you just let the two of them act like this in this house?"
Lin Tingyan snorted in his ear disapprovingly: "You can't have your cake and eat it too, third brother should be able to understand this truth."
Lin Tingkai knew that he was reminding himself that Wu Enrong and the Qi family could only protect one side.
This is really embarrassing.
One side is his confidant and think tank, and the other side is his cash cow. It is a bit difficult to decide which side to choose.
Although Zhao Guangyuan has a good friendship with Wu Enrong, he is not a master who can be manipulated at will. Only the Qi family can continuously send money to Jingling City to help him achieve his goals.
If the Qi family is completely overthrown, it will not be easy to acquire such a wealthy businessman again.
Just when he was in trouble, Lin Tingyan surprised him and walked over to sit next to Lin Jinxiao and Chu Nanzhi.
Lin Tingyan had already realized that this niece-in-law did not want to invite everyone to soak their feet, but had another purpose. She was completely watching the fun and said to the couple with a smile: "I am really tired of soaking my feet."
It’s also good to refresh your mind.”
After hearing this, all the anger in Jiang Xueyi's heart was written on his face, and he no longer looked as calm and reserved as before.
He didn't know King Beibin very well, but he shouldn't have helped Lin Jinxiao, Chu Nanzhi and his wife under any circumstances.
He walked up to Tang Ru with a sad face and whispered: "Grand Governor?"
Tang Ru had a sullen face and had been thinking hard about Princess Pingning's intention, and had no intention of paying attention to him.
Jiang Xueyi had no choice but to lick his face and walk up to Lin Tingkai and plead: "Your Highness, there is a funeral for my mother-in-law at home. King Pingning and King Beibin are really disrespecting the souls of the dead."
Lin Tingkai thought about what Lao Liu had just said, and his heart gradually became firmer. Looking at the current situation, he could only sacrifice the Qi family to protect Wu Enrong.
He came all the way here just to protect Wu Enrong on the entrustment of his father-in-law. No matter what, he couldn't let the old guy feel cold.
"Jiang Yushi, please let her do it. If your Qi family is really wronged, I will definitely give you justice."
Lin Tingkai pretended to be righteous and persuaded.
Jiang Xueyi felt a chill in his heart.
As expected, they are all selfish masters. When they asked for money from the Qi family, they were all high-sounding and made people drunk with nice words. Now that the Qi family is in danger, no one dares to stand up and protect them.
Qi Yuhuan's face was livid with anger. He angrily snatched the saber from a sergeant's hand, pointed it straight at Chu Nanzhi, and roared tremblingly: "Chu Nanzhi, you ungrateful bitch, you can humiliate our sisters, but you want to
If you want to humiliate my husband, I will die with you today."
Lin Jinxiao was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect this woman to be so stupid. He stared at her coldly like cold stars: "Madam Qi, you have to think clearly about what you are doing. You are doing this for someone who is not worthy of your trust."
By pointing the sword at me, the King and Princess, are you trying to put the lives of hundreds of people in the Qi family at risk?"
Looking at the sharp look he cast, Qi Yuhuan's hand holding the knife kept trembling.
Lin Jinxiao took advantage of the situation and swung his sword swiftly, splitting the knife in her hand into two pieces.
With a "clang" sound, all the broken swords fell to the ground.
Qi Yuhuan's whole arm was numb from the shock.
"Take it."
Qi Yuhuan was still in shock when he was pinned to the ground by two sergeants.
"Sister."
"Lady."
Jiang Xueyi and Qi Yujie rushed over at the same time, but were stopped by the guards.
There was nothing strange on Chu Nanzhi's face. She walked forward casually, looked at the Qi sisters quietly, and couldn't help but sneer:
"When it comes to kindness, our Qi and Chu family have probably never experienced anything like this before. Your Qi family forced my uncle into the ancestral home and didn't treat him well. For the sake of two fishes, you actually forced him to take poison and commit suicide.
He planned and instigated my two sons-in-law, causing them to degenerate and ruin the Chu family's property. I really can't repay such kindness."
After a slight pause for a few seconds, she glanced at Lin Jinxiao with relief, and then continued: "As for everything I do, although I have some selfish motives, every one of them is consistent with my conscience. I have to discuss it in detail.
, the people of your Qi family are not more noble than others, except for having a few stinky silver in their hands and learning how to bully the weak, so what qualifications do you have to manipulate the fate of others? "
Thinking of the Zhang family who died in vain, and the Luo family mother and daughter who almost died, she became even more indignant: "Your Qi family has forced many people to sell their children and daughters over the years, and their families have been ruined. Why do you have to come to me and be miserable? You
If you can humiliate others, you should think that you will be humiliated one day."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Ce leading the sergeants to bring the hot water.
Chu Nanzhi took out the alum powder and Lithospermum root that she brought from her arms and signaled to everyone: "Don't you all want to know who killed Mrs. Zheng? The answer is actually very simple. I will let the murderer reveal his true colors."
.”
Everyone glanced at the two things she was holding in her hand, but not many people recognized them.
Li Ce asked everyone to put the water basins away. He took a look at the comfrey root in her hand and said in surprise: "Isn't this the comfrey root that I saw all over the mountains and plains in Cangshan today?"
"good."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the gloomy Jiang Xueyi with a smile: "Jiang Yushi, you pride yourself on being smart and think that burning the horse stool will eliminate all suspicions. But you are totally wrong. You went to that deep mountain in a hurry in the middle of the night.
You committed a murder in the old forest and had to cover up the corpse. Even if you covered everything up well, and you had two culprits, Wu Taishou and Zheng Duyou, to take the blame for you, you thought it was perfect, but you forgot one thing, if you reach out, you will be killed.
Whatever you do will leave traces."
"I don't know what Princess Pingning will say."
Only then did Jiang Xueyi realize that it was ridiculous that she had gone to such great lengths to search Qi's house, but she was actually suspected of being on her own head.
"It's okay, I'll let you know what I'm talking about."
Chu Nanzhi pointed to several pairs of boots on the ground and asked Qi Yuhuan sternly: "Which pair are the boots that Jiang Yushi changed into yesterday?"
Qi Yuhuan glanced at Jiang Xueyi cautiously, then looked at Lin Jinxiao, who had a sullen face and eerie cold eyes, and pointed to the newest pair of black boots inside in confusion and panic.
