"What the hell is going on?!" Xi Yuanshan stood in the room with a frosty face, looking at Xi Hongbo who was about to go crazy, and then at Zhu Meiyang who was lying in a pool of blood, and asked in a low voice.
.
"Yes, it's Red Tears! I saw it with my own eyes, Dad, it was her who killed Erniang. I'm not lying to you, it's true!" Xi Hongbo knelt on the ground, trembling all over, his face turned pale, and he answered incoherently.
Breathe red tears?
When Xi Yuanshan heard what Xi Hongbo said, he immediately frowned. Could Honglei have done it? This matter is not trivial. Xi Yuanshan did not dare to draw conclusions, but looking at Xi Hongbo's current appearance, it seemed that
It doesn't look like he's lying. What should I do?
Xiyuanshan thought about it and finally decided to go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion in person.
At midnight, Xi Honglei was sleeping well, but Ran Yunpo woke him up from his sleep. He sat up sleepily, and Xi Honglei asked complainingly: "It's so late, Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
ah?"
Seeing Xi Honglei's defenseless look, Ran Yunpo felt warm in his heart. His eyes fell on Xi Honglei's tight-fitting thin shirt. Ran Yunpo paused, looked away, and said in a cold voice: "Wake up, your father has something to do with you.
.”
"My father?" Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunpo in confusion and said with a smile: "My lord, how could my father come to me so late? Just tell me if you have anything to do!"
"It's true. You'll know it when you put on your clothes and come out."
Xi Honglei heard what Ran Yunpo said, so she had no choice but to put on her clothes and came to Xiyuanshan with Ran Yunpo. Xi Honglei looked at Xiyuanshan who looked wrong, and couldn't figure out how serious this thing was that could make him
Come to the Prince of Chu's Mansion so late at night.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"Your second mother was killed." Xi Yuanshan said straight to the point. Seeing Xi Honglei's body startled, Xi Yuanshan took a deep breath and continued: "Some people said they saw the murderer, yes... yes
Red tears you..."
"presumptuous!"
As soon as Xi Yuanshan said these words, before Xi Honglei had any reaction, Ran Yunpo immediately became furious. He had just helped Xi Yuanshan call Xi Honglei because he happened to have something to do and he had just returned home and bumped into him.
Xi Yuanshan also said that he had something very important that he wanted to talk to Xi Honglei. Ran Yunpo originally thought it was about Xi Honglei's mother, so he made an exception and called Xi Honglei up. How could he expect that Xi Yuanshan actually
Say such ridiculous things!
"Xiyuan Mountain, do you know what you are talking about now?" Ran Yunpo looked at Xiyuan Mountain angrily and asked sarcastically: "This is the Prince of Chu's Mansion, how can I allow you to be so lethargic..."
"Your Highness." Before Ran Yunpo could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xi Honglei. He gently tugged on Ran Yunpo's sleeve, and Xi Honglei shook his head, signaling him not to be angry yet. Then Xi Honglei stepped forward.
Taking a step forward, he met Xi Yuanshan's eyes and asked seriously: "Dad, what is going on? You said that Er Niang was killed, and some people said that the murderer was me, right?"
"That's right." Xi Yuanshan nodded and sighed helplessly.
"This is impossible. I have always stayed in the palace, and the prince can testify." Xi Honglei frowned and explained: "The prince was afraid that another assassin would assassinate me, so he arranged ten people outside my door.
There are many expert guards. If I leave the palace, they will not know about it. Dad, who said they saw me?"
"This..." Xi Yuanshan lowered his eyes in embarrassment and was silent for a moment, but never said that person's name.
"Honglei asked you who was framing her, didn't you hear it?!" Ran Yun said angrily. He really couldn't figure out what happened to Mr. An, who came to accuse and doubt his daughter in the middle of the night.
What a heart!
"Going back to your lord, it's my daughter Xi Hongbo. I think she must have been too scared, so she made a mistake. Please calm down, lord."
"Dad, since it is my sister who doubts me, then I will go back to Xi Mansion with you. If you have something to do, you can explain it in person, okay?" Xi Honglei immediately suggested when he heard Xi Hongbo's name. He looked at
Xi Yuanshan didn't dare to take a breath, and seeing Ran Yunpo looking like he wanted to kill someone, Xi Honglei had no choice but to beg Ran Yunpo to let him go back to Xi Mansion first.
"Your Majesty, the deceased is my second mother after all, and I don't want her to die unjustly. So, you allow me to go back, okay?"
"I will go with you." Ran Yunpo looked at Xi Honglei's sad expression and said unhappily.
With Ran Yunpo's consent, the group of people got up and returned to Xi Mansion. When they arrived at Zhu Meiyang's room, Xi Honglei looked at Zhu Meiyang, who was lying on the ground with a lifeless expression, and hid behind Ran Yunpo.
"Come here, take the body away." Ran Yunpo ordered his bodyguards in a cold voice, then pulled Xi Honglei to sit on the chair and said, "Bring that Xi Hongbo here."
Xi Honglei looked at Xi Hongbo kneeling tremblingly in front of herself and Ran Yunpo, with a lot of thoughts. Did Xi Hongbo really just want to frame her, or was it because of something she saw?
"Sister, you said you saw me kill Er Niang, do you have any evidence?" Xi Honglei thought for a while and asked softly.
"I, I saw it with my own eyes..."
"You didn't rest in your room in the middle of the night, why did you come to Er Niang?" Xi Honglei continued to ask.
"I got up to go to the toilet. Who would have thought that I would see you wearing red clothes and holding a dagger in your hand passing by. I, I, I really didn't lie. Dad, you have to believe me!"
As Xi Hongbo spoke, his emotions began to lose control. Kneeling and looking at Xiyuan Mountain, Xi Hongbo cried: "I really saw it with my own eyes, I didn't lie to you!"
Xi Hongbo's reaction reminded Xi Honglei of another person. That was Hong Jin.
According to common sense, Xi Honglei had just framed Zhu Meiyang to death. It was understandable that Xi Hongbo hated her and wanted to get rid of her. But Xi Hongbo would never think of such a method, and he would never have the guts to do it.
He dared to attack Zhu Meiyang. So all Xi Honglei could think of was that Hong Jin had done this.
Hongjin once said that it was Zhu Meiyang who wanted to kill them back then. Hongjin also made it clear that she hated Zhu Meiyang and hated the attitude of the entire Xifu people. So it is reasonable for her to do such a thing.
But now, what should we do in this situation?
Xi Honglei could have insisted that she did not do this, she could have spoken for Xi Hongbo, saying that she was blinded at night, and then walked away. But for some reason, Xi Honglei didn't want to end the matter just like that.
I want to make this thing more chaotic...
Xi Honglei narrowed his eyes slightly, and unexpectedly knelt down in front of Ran Yunpo. Under the surprised gazes of Ran Yunpo and others, Xi Honglei said sadly: "Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for Honglei, will Honglei be there tonight?"
After leaving the palace, the prince can ask the guards. Being wrongly accused and turned into a murderer for no reason makes Honglei feel extremely sad."
"What are you doing? Get up and talk!" Ran Yunpo helped Xi Honglei up, glanced sideways at Xiyuan Mountain, and asked: "Master Xi, should you give me an explanation?"
"Your Majesty, I..."
"Dad, my mother and I have no grudges. Do you really think I will do anything to her?" Xi Honglei looked at Xi Yuanshan and asked. After getting no answer from Xi Yuanshan, Xi Honglei
He looked at Xi Hongbo again and asked sadly: "Sister, tell me, do you hate me because I exposed Sanniang's affairs, and that's why you wronged me like this?"
"I don't! Xi Honglei, don't spit on others!" Xi Hongbo shouted reflexively. When he saw Ran Yunpo's expression, Xi Hongbo immediately closed his mouth and shook his head like crazy, "I don't have me.
No, my lord, you have to believe me!"
"Master Xi, I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation for this matter. Although Honglei is your daughter, I think you all know what her identity will be in a few days. I hope that after ascending the throne, I
I saw the result of this matter before. What do you think?"
"Back to the prince, the common people must deal with the housework as soon as possible and report to the prince truthfully!"
After Xi Yuanshan said this, Ran Yunpo prepared to take Xi Honglei back to rest. Xi Honglei followed Ran Yunpo, and when he reached the door of the room, he suddenly stopped.
With tears in her eyes, Xi Honglei looked back at the crowd in the room, pursed her lower lip, and said quietly: "Dad, I know that you have never liked your daughter, and I also know that my daughter has been humiliated by Xi Mansion all these years.
How much face I have made and how much trouble I have brought. But what I know better is that the reason why I can live until now is because of you, dad. Without you, my mother and I might have been living outside and become beggars everywhere.
Already."
Xi Honglei mentioned Lin Wanru, and the tears in her eyes finally fell uncontrollably. She raised her hand to wipe her tears, Xi Honglei took a deep breath and continued.
"There is still no whereabouts or news about my mother. For me, in this living house, you are the only relative left. It doesn't matter what the second mother and the third mother think of me. It doesn't matter what the second sister and the third sister do to me.
, I don’t care. But today, my father actually started to doubt me, and suspected that I was the murderer of Er Niang. I really... really felt like I was dying. My closest relatives don’t trust me, and I
Xi Honglei has lived until now, and I really don’t know if her life has been in vain.”
Xi Hong's tearful words made Xi Yuanshan's expression become even more gloomy and made Ran Yunpo next to her feel uncomfortable.
Xi Honglei steadied her breathing and wiped away her tears. "I will help investigate Er Niang's matter. Dad, don't blame Er Mei. She hates me. I can understand and forgive her. Xi Mansion has changed
Now that it's like this, I don't want the remaining family members to have any more disputes. It's not worth it for me alone."
After Xi Honglei finished speaking, she walked out of the room without looking back. The lonely and thin figure made Ran Yunpo's heart hurt suddenly.
