After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.
Chapter 319 The Stage Is Getting Bigger and Bigger
Zhi Tao was timid by nature. Even though she had lost her memory, her character was hard to change. When she saw the crowd of people, her heart was in her throat. Then, she was grabbed by the shoulders and shaken by the man who looked rich or noble, making her dizzy. She even stuttered when she said these few words.
As luck would have it, Master Jin was impatient, and he immediately got anxious, "Gone?! What do you mean gone? What did you do to her?! Good! Very good! Zuihuanlou is really very good! There is not even a single law in broad daylight! Lin Mu, Yan Huo, smash the signboard of Zuihuanlou for me!"
"Let's see who dares!" Hong Lan has never been someone who is easy to bully. She rolled up her sleeves, put her hands on her waist, and walked down the steps to block the door. Her face was beautiful and cold. "Master Jin, even though the Jin family is powerful, they cannot be unreasonable. Zhitao has been missing for many days and later stayed in the Kejing Earl's Mansion. Even if he really kidnapped the third young master's wife, it is a private matter between them. What does it have to do with my Zuihuan Tower? Could it be that the girl in my Zuihuan Tower wrote a letter and colluded with Zhitao to kidnap the third young master's wife?"
Zhitao shook her head repeatedly. She realized belatedly that the young man had misunderstood what she said. But she was already nervous, and now seeing the two groups of people fighting against each other, she became even more nervous and could not say a word. She could only shake her head and wave her hands, and was so anxious that she was about to cry.
But no one noticed her.
Hong Lan had already sent someone to invite Tong Xiang as soon as possible. Now that the time was almost up, she was too lazy to play along. She raised her eyebrows slightly and sneered more ruthlessly, "Master Jin, before you convict me of Zui Huan Lou, you'd better present the evidence first. Although I, Hong Lan, am a small figure, I have been in Shengjing City for so many years. I am not someone who has no one to turn to. Even if I go to court, I am not afraid."
Young Master Jin has never known what "not having the right reason but the courage" means in his life. He raised his chin with a proud and unbridled expression, "The witness is Wang Shanshan, the cousin of the Marquis Kejing, and the criminal who was caught by me on the spot and admitted that my sister-in-law is dead! Physical evidence...what is the physical evidence?" He turned around and asked Lin Mu.
Lin Mu's face was pale. He did not hear Zhitao's mosquito-like word "gone". He only saw Young Master Jin suddenly attack. Now when he heard the word "gone", his three souls and seven spirits almost left his body. He staggered and nearly fell down!
What do you mean...gone?
Even Hong Lan was stunned and turned to look behind Jin Yunian.
Countless eyes were fixed on Zhitao, who had been dancing for a long time. The little girl opened her mouth several times but couldn't utter a complete word. The more she couldn't speak, the more anxious she became. It was so cold that she was sweating profusely. Finally, she managed to roar for the first time in her life, "She's not gone, she's gone! She's gone out of town!"
After the words fell, the whole place fell silent. Jin Yunian blinked, and then blinked again, "Leaving the city? Isn't she gone? Why would she leave the city for no reason?"
This is a long story. That roar at that time probably used up all the courage in her life. Her face turned red in public, and she responded with a low "hmm" for a long while and then said nothing else. She shrank her head and lowered it, feeling that she was like a plucked quail standing there.
Hong Lan took three or two steps over and pulled the person to her side, then she frowned and scolded, "You stupid girl, where did you go during that time? Since you're back, why didn't you go back to Zuihuan Tower but went to that damn Kejingbo Mansion? Could it be that as the rumors outside say, you are still dreaming of flying to the top of the social ladder?" While scolding, she couldn't help but brushing away the snowflakes on Zhitao's hair with considerable force, as if she was holding her breath.
There were strangers all around her. The only one who pulled her behind him was the fierce Hong Lan. Zhi Tao shrank behind Hong Lan and said softly, "No, no..."
The little girl became more and more like a frightened baby bird.
Hong Lan sighed helplessly in her heart, but still looked at Jin Yunian with a cold expression, "Master Jin, it seems that the Third Young Master's wife is safe and sound. I will just pretend that I never heard your aggressive accusations just now. Take your people away quickly, we will open for business in a while."
"Safe and sound?" Jin Yunian raised his eyelids. "How can you be sure that my sister-in-law is safe and sound without even seeing her? How can you be sure that what this little girl said is true? Moreover, even if my sister-in-law is really safe and sound without even a hair falling out, it is just her own good fortune. The little girl in your building designed to take away the cousin of the Marquis Kejing's mansion and left a letter asking my sister-in-law to take the risk alone. How can you just let it go?"
With an exquisite and beautiful baby face, when she is silent, she looks like a precious porcelain doll at first glance, but when she opens her mouth, she is a demon who can make living people die of anger and dead people alive again.
Unfortunately, this demon is spoiled and indulged by someone, and has always been lawless, and no one has been able to deal with him so far.
Hong Lan was so angry that she almost bit her teeth to pieces, and she spoke with great force in every word, "Then what are you going to do? Do you have to wait for the Third Young Master's wife to come back, or ask Master Xu to take his pulse to prove that he is not injured at all?"
Originally, he was hinting at the other party not to go too far, but Master Jin couldn't understand the obscure words. He nodded openly and said as if it was a matter of course, "Of course."
Hong Lan was so angry that her breathing became heavy. Just when she was in danger, she heard a scolding voice coming, "What's going on? Make way, the prince's carriage, make way."
The common people made way and knelt down to pay their respects. A hand stretched out lazily from the carriage, lifted the curtain and half of his face was revealed. It was Qin Yongpei.
“No need to be polite.” He swept his eyes over everyone and finally stopped at Jin Yunian. He pretended to be ignorant and glanced at the sign of Zuihuanlou. He chuckled and joked, “Yunnian? If your mother knew that you came to a place like this, she would break your legs again.”
Young Master Jin had always shown his dislike for this person openly. Upon hearing this, he rolled his eyes and snorted, being extremely arrogant.
Qin Yongpei didn't care whether he had asked for trouble or really thought there were so many people. He asked casually, "Is there any activity in Zuihuanlou today? Why are there so many people? It seems that this prince has arrived by chance."
Hong Lan understood what he meant. It was obvious that Prime Minister Tong was unwilling to show up and had brought in such a savior.
She bent her knees slightly and said calmly, "To answer your question, there is no other activity in Zuihuan Tower today. It's just that something happened in the Kejing Marquis's Mansion. The girl who disappeared in the tower was staying in the Marquis's Mansion a while ago. Today, the Third Young Master's wife is missing. Lord Song and Young Master Jin both said that it was my Zuihuan Tower's fault. So... they surrounded my Zuihuan Tower to ask for someone, but the girls in my tower said that the Young Master's wife just went out of town. It's really like finding a pretext to accuse someone..."
