All of a sudden, all kinds of thoughts filled the mind of the eldest wife of the Jin family.
It’s mixed and chaotic, like a basket crowded with all kinds of needles and threads. It’s difficult to find a thread and get it out, let alone comb out the various knots.
Lin Lang patted his sister-in-law's back gently to calm her down, and at the same time asked Lin Yunyan: "Yunyan, that bad guy..."
The aunt and nephew were close to each other, and Lin Lang was convinced by the glances in their eyes.
The criminal who did this must be dead.
Lin Lang took a deep breath.
The little girl's family can actually give the perpetrator to...
Maybe it was a surprise, maybe there was help from someone, but it was still "a human life".
If the commotion really breaks out and Ashu's reputation is ruined, won't Yun Yan be affected?
Even if she is the princess, even if she is eager to save people, even if the bastard will be beheaded if he is caught in the Yamen, Yun Yan is right, rumors are harmful to people!
Yun Yan, who was saddled with a life-and-death lawsuit, was also implicated.
Lin Lang's heart throbbed and ached.
They are obviously two good, sensible and well-behaved girls, but they encountered this situation.
She has to think about Ashu, and she has to think about Yun Yan even more.
"Sister-in-law," Lin Lang organized his thoughts and whispered to analyze the situation with the eldest wife of the Jin family, "The only one caught by Yun Yan was the guard who did it, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never showed up from the beginning to the end.
Whether he knew or not is a matter of debate.
We say that when he orders his subordinates, he can push them away.
Can we still argue with Shengshang as to whether his precious son is the real culprit?
Those who cannot win the battle, even if we have the upper hand for a moment, we will be the ones defeated in the end.
At most, the prince is guilty of lax governance. He goes into the royal study to receive a few words from the saint, and then comes to our house to apologize to the master.
He already had thoughts about Ashu, but if his sister-in-law is willing..."
The eldest wife of the Jin family's breath froze.
Lin Lang's words made sense, and even though she felt extremely uncomfortable, the eldest lady listened to them.
Only this last sentence made her feel dizzy when she thought about what might happen.
Why?
That person is His Royal Highness?
He has been "slandered", and in order to "make amends", he will not take the wrong path, and he will take Ashu away legitimately.
Damn it!
There is no such thing as bullying!
This is not only taking Ashu’s life, but also her life.
"We want to keep Ashu," the eldest wife of the Jin family squeezed Lin Lang's hand. She was so distracted that she didn't notice the strength in her hand. "I know I can't sue the prince. If I really go to court, I will fight Ashu."
Roast it on the fire, and let the whole city point and watch the fun.
Princess, I am extremely grateful to you for saving Ashu. If it weren’t for you, in the future...
I’m in a state of confusion right now, and I don’t speak carefully..."
Lin Yunyan smiled lightly.
He stretched out his hand, wrapped it around the eldest wife of the Jin family, and carefully stroked the muscles and bones on the back of her hand to make her feel smoother, and slowly let go of Lin Lang's hand.
"Things have happened, and you have to go through it yourself," Lin Yunyan said softly, "Think about your family, think about sister Ashu, she still needs your support.
Afterwards, when the Jin uncles sat down, the family made up their minds together.
If we keep it a secret, everyone will pretend that this is not the case. Sister Ashu just went to the temple to offer incense. I went to look for her and came back together in the evening.
If we really want to tear it apart..."
The eldest wife of the Jin family said: "I will hide it."
Lin Yunyan nodded.
It's getting late, and she has to go back to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion.
Walking out of the house, looking at the faint sunset on the horizon, she smiled softly.
Just as my aunt said, no matter what, this matter will be judged as Geng Baoyuan's murder and has nothing to do with the prince.
If you want to put the blame on Li Shao, you can only rely on "true evidence".
She quietly followed Geng Baoyuan, met up with Xuan Su who was following Li Shao, and publicized the matter so that neighbors and people on the streets could see the prince doing evil things to Jin Shu.
But she can't do such a thing.
Under such circumstances, Jin Shu will be even worse than before. How can she survive?
Jin Shu is the victim. She did nothing wrong and died just because of her resemblance to Yue Niang...
Between the life of an innocent person and the risk of death, Lin Yunyan chose the former without hesitation.
She thought that Xu Jian was the same.
It is difficult to bring down Li Shao. They have to think of many ways and find many opportunities, but these methods and opportunities should not be based on the premise of "sacrificing those who can be saved."
In the room, the eldest lady of the Jin family calmed down for a long time. It was not until Jin Shu had washed herself that she finally cheered up.
Holding a handkerchief in her hand, she wiped her daughter's long hair with her own hands. The eldest lady looked at the delicate face in the mirror, her eyes faintly red.
"Ashu," the eldest lady said, "you are not feeling well, and so is mother. But look, you are fine, and it is calm outside. Let's get over this hurdle together. Don't let yourself down, and don't let the princess down.
”
Feeling guilty, Qian Hu glanced at the prince again.
Seeing that His Highness was still waiting for his reply, he didn't think any more and blurted out: "He seems to have said that he wants to catch a sheep for you."
This sheep is obviously not that sheep.
But Li Shao didn't hear it and thought it was just a big fat sheep.
"Then what are you worried about? Can he still be turned over by a sheep?" Li Shao laughed, "It's better to catch the sheep. Tomorrow, roast two lamb legs, and cut some meat into a pot to stew."
Qian Hu agreed and smiled.
By the next morning, when it was time to change shifts, Qian Hu really couldn't laugh anymore.
Geng Baoyuan did not appear.
The guard was absent, so Li Shao said something disgusting and didn't mention it again.
The chamberlain also assigned a young man to take over the job.
Qian Hu didn't bother to go home to rest, so he went directly to the Geng family.
The Geng family's father had no idea: "Wasn't he on duty yesterday? Did he ask for leave? What are you worried about? He is not a girl, and he will not suffer any loss when he goes out. With his body, who dares to rob him! Tell me, I'm afraid
It's an old habit. He's hiding somewhere to gamble. You can hide it from the prince for him, or else you'll lose your job. What's the best thing to do?"
Qian Hu has no choice but to go home.
When it got dark again, he came to Geng's house again and learned that Geng Baoyuan was still missing. The hair on Qian Hu's back stood up.
Something is wrong, something must be wrong!
Geng's father is also a little anxious now.
He was afraid that Geng Baoyuan would fall into some gambling game and end up gambling blindly!
Let’s not talk about how much money we lost. If we don’t work as a guard tomorrow, we will really lose our job!
What a great job to do for His Highness the Crown Prince!
With a monthly salary in the near future and a promising future in the future, countless people are jealous.
Geng Baoyuan himself failed to live up to expectations and was caught in a braid that was worthless. What should he do?
"Let's go, come with me to a few casinos. I have to catch that brat!" The Geng family's father held up his crutch and greeted Qian Hu.
Qian Hu didn't believe this.
He always felt that there was something wrong with Fa'an Temple.
But now that the city gate is closed, he can't find the temple, so after thinking about it, he agreed to go with the Geng family father.
What if...
Of course, facts have proven that there is no such eventuality.
They searched almost four o'clock in the morning, but still found nothing. Geng Baoyuan was not even seen on their territory.
Qian Hu didn't rest all night, and when it was time to change his shift, he was extremely depressed.
When the chamberlain saw this, he reprimanded him.
Not only Qian Hu "wasn't thinking about protecting the prince", but Geng Baoyuan was also "a tall man but still has roots, which is even worse than the Za family who have no roots".
Li Shao came out of the room and heard the waiter scolding him fiercely, so he asked again.
The chamberlain complained angrily.
After listening, Li Shao looked Qian Hu up and down several times: "What are you and Geng Baoyuan doing? Are you hiding something from me?"
Sweat broke out on Qian Hu's forehead: "No, no..."
"Did he ask the fat sheep to be slaughtered?" Li Shao shouted.
Yesterday I thought about roasting the leg of lamb and stewing the lamb in a pot, but I didn't even see a shadow of the sheep. It's a good thing that I didn't go to the imperial study room to tell my father, otherwise he would have to buy a lamb from the street and roast it for his father.
!
Qian Hu shuddered and knelt down: "Your Highness, please calm down, it's actually Geng Baoyuan, he..."
Under Li Shao's cold gaze, Qian Huzhan explained the whole story tremblingly.
"It was said before that she was somewhat similar to Yue Niang, so Geng Baoyuan wanted to check it out."
"He went and never came back. He couldn't find anyone else at home."
"I'm worried that something will happen to him."
"Ouch!"
Halfway through his words, Qian Hu was kicked hard on the shoulder, and his body fell to the ground.
Li Shaoyou was puzzled and kicked him hard again: "What's the point of probing? I think you just want to kidnap someone, right? You've eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard, haven't you?"
"Little, little..." Qian Hu gasped in pain.
Isn’t this wrong?
Your Highness would actually object to this?
Could it be that from the beginning to the end, Geng Baoyuan tried to flatter him but ended up on the horse’s leg?
Li Shao scolded: "You didn't consult me beforehand and took it upon yourself to kidnap someone. Not only did you not kidnap someone back, but you also got yourself killed!
If you ask me, I must have kicked the iron plate and failed to kidnap someone but was arrested instead.
When he was tied up in the Yamen, Geng Baoyuan said it was all his fault and had nothing to do with me. Can Shan Shen believe him?"
The more Li Shao thought about it, the angrier he became.
Fortunately, Xu Jian is no longer sitting in Shuntian Mansion.
Otherwise, with Xu Jian’s ability to make things out of nothing and add fuel to the fire, I still don’t know how to discredit him in front of his father!
Thinking of this, Li Shao turned to the guard and said, "You can get into trouble even if you kidnap someone, but this is a guard who has been selected from thousands of people!"
The chamberlain kept saying nice things to Li Shao to calm his temper.
Qian Hu sat on the ground blankly, thinking over and over again, and finally realized.
There is nothing wrong with kidnapping people, but what is wrong is that Geng Baoyuan failed, and His Highness will be implicated.
Is that something that can make Shuntian Mansion and Imperial Study Room hear about it?
Absolutely not!
Qian Hu hurriedly knelt down again, kowtowed and said to Li Shao: "Your Highness is right in reprimanding him. Geng Baoyuan did things poorly and endangered Your Highness.
It's just that his whereabouts are unknown now, and his father can't be seen. He will definitely report to the official after the Yamen opens.
When Shuntian Mansion intervenes, if something is found out, Your Highness will really suffer for Geng Baoyuan!
I think that now I will go to Fa'an Temple to inquire. If I am sure that something happened to Geng Baoyuan, I will make it clear to the Geng family's father and give him some money to prevent him from causing trouble."
Li Shao's face is very ugly.
He doesn't care about money, and he doesn't feel bad about how much money is given out.
He is just not convinced!
The trouble caused by the guards below was solved by his money. It’s really crazy!
Bad luck!
What an unfortunate thing!
When these two people talked about each other last time, he didn't express his opinion. Why did they just talk to each other like this?
"Is it Liu Xun who told you that day?" Li Shao asked, and said to the waiter, "Go and call Liu Xun!"
Not long after, Liu Xun arrived.
This was his first time entering the Prince's East Palace, and everything he saw was really new.
The most exciting thing was of course his thumping heartbeat.
Speaking of which, if those two guards weren't stupid, they should have understood the hint, right?
It has been a few days, could it be that you have succeeded?
Yes!
The guards around the prince are so skilled, how could they possibly fail when they tie up a defenseless and delicate girl?
That’s ridiculous!
As the person who provides the information, he cannot take the big credit, there should always be some small benefits.
Liu Xun was thinking about this until he saw Qian Hu kneeling on the ground.
