Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 35 The Truth Comes Out 7

Dugu Moyan heard this and said under everyone's gaze: "No, no, no, I didn't. It wasn't me." Dugu Jingyao saw her cousin so nervous and wanted to laugh for some reason, but she had to hold it in for such a serious matter. Dugu Yan was extremely anxious, thinking: If this is really the rebellious son, he will be punished by the family law, so he said: "Then tell the truth!"

Dugu Jingyao spoke to ease the atmosphere: "Cousin, just tell the truth. At least if it's not you, you can suffer less physical pain." By the way, looking at Dugu Yan twice, Dugu Moyan also understood what Dugu Jingyao meant, and could only say: "Okay, I'll tell the truth, it's just that I did see this man in the backyard, but I don't know whose yard he came out of!" After saying that, he felt relieved.

But Dugu Yan was different. His heart was in his throat. After all, Dugu Moyan's words proved that this was really done by someone from their house! Before Dugu Yan could speak, Dugu Xin said, "Since we saw it in the backyard, it must be someone from your backyard who is involved with this thief!" How could Dugu Yan not understand what Dugu Xin meant? He hurriedly said, "Here they are! Please invite the wife and the two concubines!" Although he said so, everyone had a rough idea in their hearts. It was probably related to An Jialan. After all, the other two concubines' families were not only poor, but also not very favored. They had no connections and no money. How could they possibly hire such a professional person to kidnap people?

When a concubine named Wu heard that the master was looking for them and wanted to dress up, the maid who delivered the message could only say, "The master is calling you urgently, you'd better hurry up." Because this concubine was not favored, the master rarely came to her courtyard, let alone to the front hall. So she hurriedly dressed up and went with the man.

Another concubine named Xu, although not as favored, was still slightly more favored than concubine Wu, and was also smarter than the other one. She didn't dress up much and followed the maid. She just asked the maid who came to deliver the message: "Did the master only call me?" The maid was also smart: "Aunt, I'm not sure about it, but I heard that the lady was also invited." The concubine felt that something was wrong when she heard this. After all, if the lady was invited, how could it be her turn to go to the front hall? Something must have happened!

At Qionghua Residence, Bai Zhi noticed a maid arriving with a message and asked her to wait while she went to fetch the mistress. Bai Zhi arrived inside and found Bai Ling massaging An Jialan. "Madam, the master has sent word from the front hall that you're coming over." An Jialan's heart sank. Could the master have discovered this? But she couldn't avoid going, so she went anyway. She asked Bai Ling to accompany her while Bai Zhi returned to her parents' home to deliver the message. At least if anything really happened, her father could still help her.

When An Jialan arrived at the front hall, Aunt Wu and Aunt Xu had already arrived. They probably knew about it and probably only suspected the backyard, not her. As they walked in, they said, "Oh, big brother and Jingyao are here!" Then they pretended to have just seen people kneeling on the ground and said, "What's going on? I wonder why your two sisters have made everyone angry?" They glanced at the person Xunfeng was escorting and said, "Who is this?" Dugu Yan gestured for her to sit down first.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Dugu Yan slammed the table and shouted, "This man intends to murder Princess Yi'an. Someone saw him coming to our backyard!" Concubine Wu was terrified. Concubine Xu had expected something to happen, but she didn't expect it to be so serious. She was also a little scared. Even An Jialan was a little scared, but she showed only slight surprise. "What? Someone wants to harm Jingyao?" But seeing Dugu Jingyao sitting there, she thought: I don't know what went wrong with me. How did they suddenly find out about Qin Ruyi's family? It seems that bitch is the problem!

Dugu Jingyao couldn't help but admire her acting expression. Her acting skills were not bad, comparable to those of the concubines in the palace before her! Dugu Xin signaled Xunfeng to lift the head. After the head was raised, An Jialan and the two concubines looked at it. Concubine Xu had never seen it before, but An Jialan had definitely seen it before. She only glanced at it guiltily and then quickly looked away. Only Concubine Wu looked at it a few more times.
