Chapter 4 You say yours, I say mine
"My aunt is either an accomplice or a cover-up!"
"Complicit!"
"Cover!"
Song Lan's faint voice was like the sound of darkness coming from hell, filled with fear and slowly flowing into Lu's limbs.
ah!
Madam Lu screamed in fear, her legs weakened and she fell to the ground, her face turned pale, as if she had seen a ghost.
Song Lan returned the resentment that blew into Lu's ears, feeling disdainful.
It turns out that people who have done too many bad things are really afraid of seeing ghosts.
No one knew what Song Lan had done, and they couldn't see her full of resentment.
All I know is that after listening to Song Lan's soft-spoken analysis, Mrs. Lu felt frightened, her legs weakened, and she fell to the ground as if she was told something important.
"Look at the guilty look on her face. Could it be that she was really tricked by that girl from the Song family?"
"This is so vicious!"
"The girl's mother is the daughter of the Song family. She is the legitimate daughter of the Xie family. She is really a relative."
“It’s hard to fathom what’s separated by a layer of blood and the human heart!”
No, that's not the case.
Lu listened to everyone's discussion and wanted to explain.
He raised his eyes and met Song Lan's smiling eyes, looking at her mockingly.
Lu's heart was bleeding with hatred, and she wished she could go forward and tear Song Lan's mouth apart.
Whether she is covering up or being an accomplice, she will not end up well.
The damn girl said this because she wanted to kill her!
"Lu, how do you want to explain?"
The eldest princess' majestic and angry voice came from above the person.
Lu's lips trembled, and her voice trembled slightly: "Your Highness, Your Highness is aware of this!"
She glanced at Xie Yuyao with some heartache, then closed her eyes, feeling cruel in her heart.
"I just loved my daughter so much that I was blinded by lard, acted in a confused way, and almost made a big mistake."
At this point, the only choice is to abandon Xie Yuyao, her daughter, to save herself.
Otherwise, the entire Xie family may be dragged into the water.
That's not worth the loss.
It doesn't matter if the daughter is dead, as long as she is still the wife of the Xie family, she can still be arranged to marry into a good family far away.
When the time comes, the dowry will be more generous, and the rest of your life will be stable and smooth.
But if she is also implicated, Xie Shangqi will not hesitate to abandon his car to protect his handsome husband and divorce his wife to clear his identity.
When the time comes, her daughter will definitely suffer endless suffering without her protection.
She can't always count on a man to be reliable.
Especially the man who will soon marry a new love and take her place as Mrs. Xie.
Men in the world are so lucky.
Madam Lu thought about it, took a deep breath, and spoke in a calmer tone.
"Your Highness is magnanimous! It's because I failed to educate my daughter well. In the past, the relationship between their cousins was the most harmonious, but I didn't realize that she was jealous of Sister Lan. It's also my fault. I usually only care about her. Hello Sister Lan, I think she has come all the way and is a guest, and she has lost her parents, so she should be more attentive.”
Lu's voice was slightly hoarse: "But he ignored his daughter's mood and caused her to misunderstand someone's instigation. That's why she acted in a confused manner today, which almost led to a big mistake."
She looked at Zhang Chi, bit the tip of her tongue, and secretly suppressed the thought of making someone angry.
Zhangchi is nothing to be afraid of.
But the old head of the Zhang family behind Zhang Chi was Xie Shangqi's immediate boss.
Madam Lu turned her attention to Song Lan.
It would be great if someone could come out at this time and testify that the instigator was Song Lan.
It's a pity that no one is waiting around for this girl.
It’s really useless!
Song Lan understood.
Lu's few words seemed to be acknowledging her mistakes and apologizing for Xie Yuyao, but in fact, she did not forget to slander her for being treacherous and ungrateful. She had taken advantage of living in the Xie family, but she was still not satisfied.
She also alluded to the fact that she often bullied Xie Yuyao, causing him to suffer a lot of grievances and making her feel unhappy, which is why she became malicious.
If she explains and refutes now, Madam Lu only needs to pretend to be pitiful, and then show some tolerance and helpless pampering, so that she can pour dirty water on her and make other people who don't know the truth think that she is really domineering. Arrogant.
Song Lan sneered silently.
She had learned this trick countless times in her previous life.
"Obviously Yao'er is the serious girl of the Xie family."
Lu's whisper seemed to be unconscious. The voice was very weak, but it was still enough for people nearby to hear clearly. Then, as if he realized that he had said the wrong thing, he panicked a little and hurriedly pursed his lips, causing people to have endless reveries.
She made a look of compassion, and her eyes quickly turned red: "My little girl is young and ignorant. I beg your Highness, for the sake of my loving mother, to allow me to take her back to the ancestral hall and to teach her family law. This can be regarded as a small favor." She should save some face.”
It is far better for her to handle it personally than to leave it to the government and really charge her with murdering the emperor's relatives.
"I will strictly discipline her and will not let her do anything discordant with her siblings again." Ms. Lu said sincerely.
In a few words, he secretly changed the serious crime of poisoning and murdering the royal family members into the minor offense of brotherly disharmony.
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows lightly, her eyes passing over someone behind the crowd playfully, and finally landed on Song Lan: "What did Miss Song say?"
"The state has national laws, and families have family rules."
Song Lan looked calm: "My aunt is right, my cousin is indeed a 207-month-old child."
"The sages have said that a hundred years of life is based on early childhood education, and education should start from childhood."
"Since he is a child, it is too late to teach him now."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Otherwise, my cousin dares to poison the eldest princess's spring banquet today, and tomorrow she will dare to enter the palace and assassinate the emperor.
"If you don't hurry up and get beaten now, you will get beaten more in the future."
"Perhaps the entire Xie family will be implicated by her."
"Click, click..."
Song Lan made a gesture of wiping his neck with a knife, which was obviously a very blunt onomatopoeia, but it made people feel a chill on the back of the neck for no reason, as if his head had really been chopped off.
"My aunt is really a sensible person."
"You're right!"
There was no trace of ridicule in Song Lan's tone.
She bowed respectfully and politely to the eldest princess: "I would like to ask Your Highness to hand over the matter to Jingzhao Mansion for trial and investigation as requested by my eldest aunt."
"After all, my aunt herself said that she could not teach her daughter well."
Song Lan tilted her head and looked at the person: "If your aunt can't teach you well, of course someone will teach you."
"One person teaches another person, but a hundred words are useless."
"Teach a lesson, once and for all."
Lu:……
! ! !
That’s not what she meant at all!
What on earth is Song Lan talking about!
The eldest princess chuckled, looking at Song Lan with an even deeper gaze.
This is also a powerful and eloquent person.
She didn't mind being used as a knife user, as if a cat was playing with a mouse, her tone was relaxed.
"In that case, Guizhi, send Miss Xie's family and young master Zhang's family, as well as the cups that they poisoned together..."
The eldest princess paused slightly, her eyes fell on an inconspicuous person behind everyone, and she hid a playful smile. When her words came to her lips, she changed to: "Send it to the palace, and ask the emperor to issue a decree. The Jingzhao Mansion conducted a thorough investigation and found out that someone poisoned and murdered the royal family at my spring banquet.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and even breathed much lighter.
After a thorough investigation of the imperial edict, this nature has changed.
Xie Yuyao, who was hiding next to Lu, rolled her eyes and fainted when she heard this.
Zhang Chi wasn't much better.
His face was as pale as paper, but he fainted a few breaths later than Xie Yuyao.
"Your Highness!"
Lu was shocked and wanted to argue.
"Why, Mrs. Xie wants to accompany you so that you can learn how to educate your children and avoid trouble?"
The eldest princess' face was cold, with anger faintly visible.
Mrs. Lu's face was as white as paper. She was speechless when being questioned, but she didn't dare to answer: "There are no civilian women, civilian women don't dare."
She has no royal title, so she only needs a few words of flattery from others, but how can she afford a word of thanks from the eldest princess?
"Then you are questioning whether I have treated your daughter too much and should not have sent her to Jingzhao Mansion?"
certainly!
Lu almost blurted out, but fortunately she still had reason.
She dug her fingernails hard into the flesh of her palm, and said every word against her will as if she was crying: "Your Highness is wise, and what you have done is right!"
"My little girl is wrong."
