The mistress is mighty, bringing 88 dowries to flatten the Marquis's mansion

"Mother, do you mean that Linlin was right to save this person?"

Ruan Shuyan's words made Madam Xie's face freeze instantly.

She thought Ruan Shuyan would follow her words, but she didn't expect Ruan Shuyan to take another approach.

In the silence, Ruan Shuyan spoke again: "Mother has been silent, but do you agree with your daughter-in-law's words?"

Madam Xie was anxious: "Nonsense, how can I agree with you? Linlin saved people out of kindness, only people like you would always think wrongly of others!"

Ruan Shuyan tilted her head slightly: "If this matter gets out, what do you think people outside will say?"

Every time she spoke, it was unexpected, and she didn't respond to Madam Xie's words at all.

Old Madam Xie opened her mouth and tried to refute several times, but she didn't know where to start. Although Ruan Shuyan's idea was extreme, it also represented the thoughts of outsiders.

Xie Linlin covered her face and watched the surroundings become increasingly quiet. The resentment in her heart gradually turned into panic.

If her mother was really convinced, what would she do?

"Mother, I..."

"Shut up!"

Xie Linlin's eyes narrowed and she lowered her head sadly.

However, Old Madam Xie did not look at Xie Linlin, because she knew that she was at a disadvantage today. If she continued to argue, it would only make things complicated. When Xie Yuchun came back, she would no longer be able to control the situation.

She endured it, pointed at the man on the ground and said, "What are you going to do with this man?"

Ruan Shuyan raised her chin slightly and said, "Send it to the government office."

Madam Xie frowned and said, "Send the person over. If there is no problem, then it's fine. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a clear statement that the Xie family is not innocent?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed quickly in Ruan Shuyan's eyes. She even wanted to thank the old lady for holding on for as long as she could, but she didn't expect to be suppressed by her when she turned around. She even took the initiative to express her concern.

"If mother feels that her daughter-in-law's words are inappropriate, then wait until my husband comes back before making any plans."

After saying this, Ruan Shuyan bowed slightly, turned around and left.

Old Madam Xie stood there, her face darkened by this sudden scene. This Ruan Shuyan was becoming more and more outrageous!

"mother."

Xie Linlin shouted weakly.

Old Madam Xie turned her head and cast a sharp gaze on her face. She was obviously extremely angry, but her words suddenly changed when they came to her lips.

"Please ask the doctor to come and take a look at the young lady."

Not long after, the doctor came over.

On the other hand, Ruan Shuyan learned about the situation in Mingfangyuan but did not make any comment.

Mother Lai stood aside, with a hint of pity in her eyes: "Miss, the matter at Mingfang Courtyard will have a result when the master returns, you don't have to worry."

Ruan Shuyan pulled the corner of her lips slightly: "I'm not worried, but I feel a little uneasy."

As she spoke, she walked to the door. The clouds around her were rolling, and suddenly a large dark cloud blocked the sunlight.

Ruan Shuyan pursed her lips and unconsciously clutched the clothes around her chest. The uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.

……

Royal study room.

Xie Yuchun and several ministers stood on both sides with their heads lowered and their eyes lowered. A faint smell of blood filled the air.

The emperor's face was gloomy. His eyes fell on the messy clothes and embarrassed postures of the few people. Suddenly, he raised his hand and slammed the imperial desk heavily.

"Assassins massacred Qingfeng Tower, and the prince and princess of Qi State disappeared. Is this how our dynasty treats guests? Where are the imperial guards? Where are the guards? Why didn't any of them play a role?"

No one answered, and the atmosphere in the imperial study gradually became stagnant.

The emperor was so angry that he laughed, his fingers trembling uncontrollably: "Xie Yuchun, you..."

At this moment, Su Sheng came in from outside: "Your Majesty, Yang Ning, General Yang is here."

The emperor closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was no sign of any change in his expression: "Announce."

Xie Yuchun, who was standing by, frowned slightly and looked at the door of the imperial study. He saw Yang Ning, wearing armor, swaggering into the door.

"I will finally see the Emperor."

"No gift."

The emperor waved his hand slightly, "I heard that you were the one who settled the chaos in Qingfeng Tower?"

Yang Ning laughed: "It can't be considered as settling it, I just arrived in time."

The emperor rubbed his brows and asked: "Did you catch the assassin?"

When Yang Ning mentioned the assassin, his expression suddenly became serious: "We caught one, but he committed suicide because we failed to keep him under guard. However, I found some clues."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor leaned forward and asked, "What clue?"

Yang Ning glanced at Xie Yuchun next to him, and in the puzzled looks of everyone, he took out a token with the word "Xie" written on it.

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Xie Yuchun, and they understood why Yang Ning wanted to see Xie Yuchun.

"Thank you, sir. Do you want to explain this token?"

"Master Xie, are those assassins in Qingfeng Tower related to you?"

Everyone spoke one by one, and in an instant the imperial study became a noisy place.

Xie Yuchun remained unmoved and just looked at the token in Yang Ning's hand indifferently.

Just when everyone thought that Xie Yuchun had difficulty explaining, he asked, "Where did General Yang get this token?"

"On an assassin."

Xie Yuchun's expression was a little strange: "Since when did an assassin bring the master's token with him when he was assassinating someone?"

Yang Ning smiled, but if you looked closely, you could see that there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

"Of course, an ordinary assassin would not carry the master's token, but what if the one who did it was someone from Lord Xie's house?"

"This is impossible!"

Xie Yuchun denied it without hesitation, and then explained: "When the chaos occurred, all the people I brought were outside Qingfeng Tower. If they were people from my house, they would not have been able to get past me."

Yang Ning asked word by word: "Are you sure, Mr. Xie?"

Xie Yuchun narrowed his eyes, with a little more scrutiny in his eyes: "Of course."

Yang Ning put away the token and turned to look at the emperor: "Your Majesty, please allow me to take the two eunuchs away for a while."

The emperor looked at Xie Yuchun, then at Yang Ning: "I approve."

Yang Ning bowed and left the imperial study room. Not long after, he returned with a corpse.

When he saw the face of the corpse, the calmness on Xie Yuchun's face disappeared instantly. It turned out to be a member of his Xie family!

The question is, why does Yang Ning think he is an assassin?

Thinking of this, Xie Yuchun asked the question directly.

Yang Ning said calmly: "I saw him kill an adult with my own eyes. If he was not an assassin, why would he kill people?"

Xie Yuchun was speechless when asked.

At this moment, the emperor spoke up: "Xie Yuchun, was it really you who planned the Qingfeng Tower incident?"

Xie Yuchun clenched his five fingers, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent."

The emperor rubbed his fingertips, his dark eyes showing no emotion at all.

Everyone lowered their heads, and as time passed, not daring to make a sound.

Only Yang Ning was not affected, and he looked towards Xie Yuchun from time to time.

Outside the imperial study, a strong wind brought dark clouds, and the sky and the earth turned dark.

The emperor said: "Seal off the Xie family, put Xie Yuchun in the prison, and postpone the trial."

With a "boom", heavy rain fell.
