Li Mochen repeated, "Your father was killed by Jiang Yubai!"

He lowered his arms that he had raised with all his strength, and closed his eyes that had just been opened angrily.

The emperor died after only 375 days on the throne.

When everyone was cleaning up the mess, Ye Huan was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Yubai took Yu Xiaoqiao's hand and left under the gaze of Si Wenming, Li Lingyan and Yu Xiaomo.

Yu Xiaoqiao let Jiang Yubai lead her out of the palace, got on the carriage, and returned to the Jiang Mansion.

Along the way, not a word was spoken.

Yu Xiaoqiao had always been wondering who forged the letter accusing her father of treason and who put it in the study.

She heard from her second aunt that on the eve of her father's arrest, Jiang Yubai stayed at the prime minister's residence to take care of her father and went to bed very late.

Of course, the Second Aunt said this not because she doubted him, but because she was moved by his kindness and loyalty.

I hope Yu Xiaoqiao can fall in love with Jiang Yubai because of this.

Yu Xiaoqiao was indeed touched at that time.

But being touched can never turn into love and admiration.

Now thinking about it, Jiang Yubai stayed that night in order to harm the Yu family.

Her heart trembled and she staggered into the chair.

It must be so, it must be so!

She murmured to herself over and over again.

Impulsively, he picked up the sword hanging on the wall and rushed into Jiang Yubai's room, with the tip of the sword pointed at his neck, "Tell me, did you have a part in framing my father?"

Jiang Yubai seemed very calm on the surface, and replied calmly: "I, don't have it."

Seeing Jiang Yubai being so frank, Yu Xiaoqiao began to believe it again.

But, did Li Mochen really say this just to find someone to take the blame when he was dying?

She was confused.

For several days, she stayed at home, doing nothing but staring blankly.

Yu Xiaomo's identity has been exposed and he cannot stay in Yu Haojing City for long. For safety reasons, he must leave Beijing as soon as possible.

So, that evening, Yu Xiaomo, Yu Chuxiao, and Chu Wan came to Jiang Mansion in a low-key manner to say goodbye to Yu Xiaoqiao.

Yu Xiaoqiao asked the kitchen to prepare the two little ones' favorite dishes and filled the table with them.

No matter whether it is Xiao Mo who has become the king of a country, or Chu Xiao who has become much more mature after his family was destroyed, or Chu Wan who escaped death, they all seem to have returned to a year ago.

He ate voraciously and talked happily.

Like three kids.

"Sister, I will be back to Northern Frontier tomorrow, please take care of yourself. But, do you really want to spend the rest of your life with Brother-in-law Jiang? Can Emperor Qingxin say that he was the one who killed the Prime Minister?"

Yu Xiaomo said earnestly.

Yu Chuxiao echoed, "Big sister, Xiao Mo is right. Although Brother-in-law Jiang never left you when you were in trouble in the Xiangfu, things may not be as they seem."

Looking at Chu Xiao who had grown up overnight, Yu Xiaoqiao's eyes were filled with heartache.

A fourteen-year-old child must have gone through so much hardship to have such insight.

Behind every insight lies suffering.

As Yu Xiaoqiao thought this in her heart, tears began to fall from her eyes. She quickly turned her face away and wiped them away secretly.

"No matter what, it is a fact that Brother-in-law Jiang never left me, and it is also a fact that he saved me from suffering. His love for my sister cannot be fake. Therefore, I think Li Mochen's last words may not be for revenge."

Yu Chuwan was grateful to Jiang Yubai, so she didn't dare to easily pin the crime of killing her father on him.

Or, if that were the case, how could my sister bear it?

Doesn't it mean that the Prime Minister's Mansion has become like this because of her?

Yu Chuwan did not express her concerns, but as smart as Yu Xiaoqiao was, she would have thought of it.

The reason why Yu Xiaoqiao was so conflicted was probably because she was not most afraid of Jiang Yubai's vicious heart, but that she was the source of the misfortune in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The atmosphere was a little gloomy for a moment, and Yu Chuxiao quickly changed the subject and told a joke.

Everyone laughed, even though it wasn't funny at all.

At this moment, Si Wenming flew over, grabbed Yu Xiaoqiao's hand, and hurriedly said, "Follow me!"

Take her and fly out.

The two men rode away on horseback.

Yu Xiaoqiao noticed that Si Wenming was not riding his horse very fast tonight, as if he was afraid that someone could not catch up with him.

That’s right, Jiang Yubai was indeed following behind them.

The two came to a private garden. It was dark all around except for a dim light on in a room on one side.

Yu Xiaoqiao walked into the room and recognized the person in the dim candlelight. It was Ye Huan.

She glanced at Si Wenming and realized that this was Wenming's arrangement to resolve her doubts. She took a deep breath and stepped into the house.

"Ye Huan, are you here to tell me, was my father really killed by Jiang Yubai?" Yu Xiaoqiao asked straight to the point.

Ye Huan raised the corners of his lips slightly and said with a smile: "Princess Yu, you are really anxious. Could it be that you are still thinking about Master Si, the Marquis of Wennan?"

Yu Xiaoqiao could hear the sarcasm in his words, but she was not angry. She was only concerned about whether Jiang Yubai was really involved in murdering her father. "Stop keeping us in suspense!"

Ye Huan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. "Originally, what happened between you and Jiang is none of my business. However, the master's last words before his death pointed to Jiang Yubai. I must bear witness for the master and will not let him die with regrets. I know he hates betrayers the most."

Ye Huan said, his eyes filled with hatred, no longer calm, "Secondly, Li Lingyan and Master Si promised me that as long as I tell them the truth, they will allow me to give their master's body and bury him with Concubine Jia."

"In that case, just tell me." Yu Xiaoqiao sat down and said in a low voice.

Ye Huan took another sip of tea and talked eloquently, describing how Jiang Yubai had poisoned Yu Chuwan in Northern Xinjiang before, how he had written a letter of treason, and how he had told him the location of the letter, all with his hands and feet dancing.

Yu Xiaoqiao was in low spirits and her body was shaking.

It is true.

While wiping her tears, her eyes glanced outside the wall.

Seeing that the people outside the wall had no intention of rushing in, he said, "I didn't expect that Jiang Yubai would do such a despicable thing to get me. I was really moved and really wanted to live a good life with him. Now things have come to this..."

Before Yu Xiaoqiao finished speaking, Jiang Yubai rushed in and shouted, "Ye Huan, what nonsense are you talking about? I didn't put a curse on Chu Wan. It was clearly you who did it. And the letter was also made by you."

After Jiang Yubai finished speaking, he felt regretful. If he had not participated in it, how could he know all these? Ye Huan laughed, "Haha, even a smart man like Minister Jiang can lose his temper sometimes. As expected, even a hero can be tempted by a beauty! I was the one who put the poison, but you were the one who served the tea to my sister-in-law. I made the letter, but you taught me the method. And..."

Then he looked at Yu Xiaoqiao and said, "You, I'm afraid you would never have thought that the master didn't want to kill Yu Wenrui. It was him, Jiang Yubai, who loved you like his life, who told the master a story about cutting the grass but not uprooting it, and it will grow again in the spring breeze. That's why the master decided to eradicate Yu Wenrui."

Yu Xiaoqiao's face was covered with tears. She asked in a trembling voice, "I was left alone and helpless. You didn't help me. In exchange for my desperation, I married you? You killed my father and destroyed the Xiangfu family? Just to get, just to get - me?"

Seeing her in pain, Jiang Yubai was also heartbroken. His bloodshot eyes were filled with tears and even anger. "Yes! Just for you, I have you! Your father deserves it. Who made you fickle? Who made you fickle? I just took back what originally belonged to me. Am I wrong?"

"But your father, on the surface, said he didn't care, but he always protected Si Wen's life. He deserves to die, he deserves to - die!" Jiang Yubai accused and screamed at the top of his lungs.

Yu Xiaoqiao's eyes were bloodshot and he punched Jiang Yubai in the chest. Jiang Yubai was knocked out of the house, collapsed on the ground, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Kill a life for a life! Give me your life!"

Yu Xiaoqiao roared and stabbed at Jiang Yubai with the sword.

Just as he was about to stab him in the heart, Jiang Yubai shouted, "Yu Wenrui is still alive!"

Yu Xiaoqiao suddenly stopped her hand and asked, "What did you say?"

Jiang Yubai looked like he was about to die. He looked at Si Wenming with a weak breath, "Come here, I will tell you."

Si Wenming walked closer and whispered in Jiang Yubai's ear.

Jiang Yubai sneered, "Go—die!"
