"Imperial daughter!" The wet nurse suddenly turned to Feng Yu Heng and said with a pleading expression: "Just now, this old servant heard a maidservant say that imperial daughter had come over here. I wonder if imperial daughter saw who killed our eldest young master? Would imperial daughter please say it clearly! I'm begging imperial daughter! "While saying this, she began to kowtow.
In an instant, everyone's gazes gathered on Feng Yu Heng. Feng Yu Heng recalled that they had run into a servant when they had returned to the front yard. Thinking about it, that servant had gone back and casually said that she had seen her. This was originally not too big of a matter, but because of Lu Cuo's death, she had been pushed to the heart of the struggle.
But what of it? Suspecting her? What a joke.
Feng Yu Heng snorted coldly, "That's right, this imperial daughter did come over because his Highness Feiyu and Zirui were running around to play and saw a strange man wandering around the bridal courtyard. I came over to take a look."
The wet nurse was startled and rushed to say: "A strange man? What does imperial daughter mean? Our young miss just got married into the Yao manor today. Imperial daughter must not place this crime on our young miss! "
Feng Yu Heng was puzzled, "What crime? Did this imperial daughter mention the crime? "
The wet nurse was at a loss for words; however, she still felt unreconciled and said: "Imperial daughter just said that there was a strange man wandering around the bridal courtyard. This, this is not good for the new madam's reputation."
"That Lu Yao can secretly meet with a man. What sort of reputation is there to worry about?" Huang Quan could not bear to continue listening and interjected, "When we came over, we saw your young miss and the dead person pulling each other. The two were speaking in an extremely obscure manner."
"This …" The wet nurse was extremely shocked then immediately denied it, "Young miss, you absolutely must not say such things!" As she spoke, she quickly kowtowed to Yao Jing Jun and loudly said: "Eldest master, you must support our young miss! That's right, the young mistress had come out to meet the young master. That was because the young master had been out of the province, and the young mistress hadn't been able to rush back in time to get married. Now that he had finally arrived, he wanted to come over and talk to the young mistress. They were blood-related siblings, so it was only natural for them to meet. Eldest Young Master had even gifted a pair of ruyi ornaments inlaid with gold and jade to celebrate the young miss's wedding. If Eldest Old Master did not believe it, he could send someone to the bridal chamber to retrieve it. This servant knows that it's wrong for Miss to meet someone without permission, but no matter how wrong it is, he's still her biological brother. It's completely different from what Imperial Princess said! " The wet nurse spoke with great emotion. As she spoke, she wiped her tears. In the end, she even cried out to Feng Yu Heng, "I beg Your Highness to be kind and let my young miss go!"
Feng Yu Heng was almost amused when she heard this. She wondered if the wet nurse was in a hurry to slander her. There was a missing link here!
But the wet nurse's words allowed everyone present to understand. Put plainly, this matter was quite simple. It was just the elder brother coming to see his younger sister and giving her a wedding gift. What was wrong with that? The important part was why the elder brother had died. The wet nurse's meaning was …
"Hey!" Xuan Tian Ge suddenly spoke up and asked the wet nurse: "Is there something wrong with your head? The eldest young master of your family has already died, yet you don't beg the Yao family's eldest master to find the culprit. Why are you biting our Heng Zheng instead? Why don't you open your dog eyes and take a look. Is this someone that you can bite? You're truly a crazy dog! "
The wet nurse's face turned pale, and her hands trembled on the ground. She just thought to herself that this would not be easy to get through. Not to mention a Princess Ji An, there was also a first-rate princess from the Dashun Dynasty helping out. How could she possibly succeed in changing the topic? She then looked at Lu Cuo's corpse, and a look of disdain flashed across her face; however, she immediately recovered.
For a while, the wet nurse did not know what she should say. It was one of Lu Yao's maidservants that trembled and said: "Culprit, the culprit wouldn't be imperial daughter, right? She just walked in this direction! "
"Heh!" This time, Feng Yu Heng really began to laugh. Looking at the three servants kneeling on the ground, she felt that if she were to argue with them, it would truly be an insult to her intelligence! But she had to say it. After all, there were so many people watching. It was hard to guarantee that there would be some foolish people. This matter had occurred in the Yao family. Even if she did not give face to the monk, she still had to give face to the Yao family. Thus she put away her smile; however, the corners of her lips were still curled up. If someone looked carefully, they would find that she truly resembled the Ninth Prince, Xuan Tianming.
She asked the servant, "There are quite a few people coming and going. Why do you say that the culprit is this imperial daughter? This imperial daughter and your family's young master have never met before. How could I have the desire to kill him? "
The servant spoke in a clear and logical manner, saying: "Imperial daughter and the eldest young master do not know each other, but imperial daughter and my family's young miss have some enmity. It's unavoidable that the innocent will be implicated. Also, there are indeed quite a few people coming and going, and there are even more servants, but the eldest young master is a man. He does have some martial arts. How could a normal servant kill him. Thinking about it … thinking about it, only imperial daughter's martial arts would be able to do it. "
The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became. It was not that she felt that she was in the wrong. Since she had made the decision to frame someone, she would not lose in terms of reason. She had just accidentally met Xuan Tianming's gaze. That gaze was like that of a wolf's, and she nearly bit her own tongue in fear.
This servant's analysis was clear and logical, but the people present were not fools. They were all too clear on what sort of person Feng Yu Heng was. Because of enmity with Lu Yao, she killed the eldest young master of the Lu Family, and it was in the Yao manor. Unless Princess Ji 'an's brain had been flooded with water.
Before Feng Yu Heng could speak, the eldest prince became furious and loudly shouted: "Nonsense!"
The second prince agreed, saying: "Have the servants of the Lu Family all gone crazy? Do you know what sort of crime it is to slander an imperial daughter? "
The wet nurse also gained some ability at this time, saying with a trembling voice: "But what if … what if it wasn't slander?"
"Elder brother!" Just as the wet nurse spoke, a scream suddenly came from the bridal courtyard. Following this, a girl wearing a red wedding dress rushed over. If that was not Lu Yao, who else could it be.
Yao Shu subconsciously went over to her side. Lu Yao ran over to him and used Yao Shu's hand to support herself; however, she stared fixedly at the corpse, as tears continued to flow.
"Elder brother!" She threw herself at the corpse's side and cried herself hoarse. She repeatedly shouted: "Elder brother, who was it that was so cruel? Who was it that killed you? Elder brother! You rushed back from out of the province in the middle of the night for the sake of sending off your younger sister. The jade ruyi that you gave us husband and wife has yet to be seen by husband. How did you die! Elder brother! Don't scare me. Open your eyes and take a look. I am Yao 'er! I am the younger sister that you doted on the most since you were young! Elder brother! "
Lu Yao cried with sincerity, causing all of the madams and young misses present to wipe away their tears.
Yao Shu repeatedly consoled her from the side: "Yao 'er, don't ruin your body by crying. Quickly get up."
"Husband!" Lu Yao suddenly knelt in front of Yao Shu and begged while crying: "Husband must support elder brother! Elder brother died in the Yao manor. Husband must not sit idly by and do nothing! "
Yao Shu naturally felt distressed for Lu Yao, but Lv Jing Jun did not like hearing these words, coldly saying: "What do you mean sit idly by and do nothing? Is my Yao family that sort of family? Since this matter has happened, it must be thoroughly investigated. To dare come to my Yao family to kill someone, I must ask who gave him the courage! "
Lu Yao's body trembled. Everyone said that the head of the Yao family was easy to get along with, but when Yao Jing Jun became angry, he did not lose to her father, Lu Song.
"Yao 'er, get up first. Get up first and we will talk." Yao Shu was still holding onto Lu Yao.
At this time, the wet nurse and maidservant rushed to Lu Yao's side and cried in unison: "Young miss, eldest young master died an unjust death. Princess Ji 'an cannot escape responsibility for this matter!" Nobody saw it, but when the wet nurse said this, she forcefully pinched Lu Yao then said: "The Yao family's servants in our courtyard have all said that they saw Imperial Daughter Ji An hastily return. Imperial Daughter has always had some enmity with young miss; however, who knew that this enmity would be directed at the eldest young master. Eldest young master was truly wronged! "
Feng Yu Heng?
Lu Yao's mind quickly spun. In truth, she had already heard a bit about the situation on this side. She knew that her own servants had already turned their attention to Feng Yu Heng. Now, there was nothing else that she could do. She could only follow along and insist that it was the safest. Thus she simply gritted her teeth and loudly said to Feng Yu Heng: "Why did you want to kill my eldest brother? If you have any enmity, come at me. Why did you want to kill my eldest brother? "
"What a great show of affection between siblings!" Finally, Xuan Tianming spoke up. Before Feng Yu Heng could speak, he could no longer bear to continue listening.
Xuan Tianming was the youngest of the princes; however, he was also the one that caused people to feel the most fear. At this very moment, there was not a single trace of anger on his face. He still had an appearance that did not seem to care about anything. He even had an arm on Feng Yu Heng's shoulder, casually plucking a leaf from her hair. However, the words that he said caused the Lu Family's servants to feel a chill run down their spines, "Not to mention that it wasn't I's wife that killed him, but even if she did, so what? You're called … Lu something? I just don't understand. Who do you think you are? What sort of thing do you think the Lu Family is in I's eyes? I really never thought that in the grand Dashun, there would actually be someone that dares to provoke I's beloved concubine. Has your Lu Family made any preparations to infuriate I? Or can you endure the consequences of I's revenge? "
The corners of his lips curled up. Standing next to Feng Yu Heng, he was as handsome as a painting. However, this painting was frightening and could kill. It was such that Lu Yao did not even dare to look at it, fearing that a single glance from Xuan Tianming would kill her.
No one from the Lu Family dared to speak again. At this time, they heard a gentle and refined voice from the group of princes. He said to the servants at his side: "Go to the Lu Manor and invite Prime Minister Lu here. If he asks for a reason, tell him to come and collect the corpse!"
Xuan Tianhua had never said anything like this before. He also very rarely said anything that was too harsh. This time, however, he had opened everyone's eyes. With the words "collect the corpse", everyone knew that this time, the Lu Family had not only angered his Ninth Highness, but also the seventh prince.
His Ninth Highness was the type of person that would be set on fire and would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
His Highness the seventh prince was reserved and would not get angry easily. However, once he got angry, the person that angered him would receive even fiercer revenge than His Ninth Highness!
