Qing Lan, whose pseudonym was Hu Die'er, was standing aside with her eyes lowered, with two black-armored guards standing behind her. She said in a deep voice:
"Everything I said is true."
Wen Shirui, Wen Shige and Wen Shixuan were all standing on the other side. Although the three of them had expressionless faces, their hearts were tumbling. They did not expect that their father would be rescued, but they got an unexpected result.
The room was very quiet, and you could hear a needle drop. Steward Wen Ying walked in with ripples in a red dress. The arrival of a group of four people broke the silence in the room.
“Master, the three young masters, Miss Hua is here!”
Lianyi did not expect that she would see the Master of the Wen family so soon. Although the atmosphere was a bit too weird, she still bowed politely and said:
"I will stay with Hua Lianyi in Immortal City to pay my respects to the Master of the Wen family!"
"Miss Hua, are you getting used to staying in Wenjiabao?"
The head of the Wen family asked calmly.
“Thank you for your concern, owner. I feel very good since I moved into Cuizhuyuan.”
Lianyi replied with a smile, and then asked proactively:
"How is Master Wen's health recovering? I heard from Mr. Wen that you were injured before."
"Ahem, this is also my request. The reason why Miss Hua came here."
The head of the Wen family said calmly.
"Master, there is no need to express your gratitude. My daughter is your future daughter-in-law, so I should save you with the Purple Cloud Flower."
"But Qing Lan said that she was threatened by you, so she took action against me."
The head of the Wen family said, staring into Lianyi's eyes.
“Qing Lan?”
Lianyi spat out two words with confusion on her face, as if she didn’t know this person at all.
“This is an unfounded charge. Can Qing Lan confront me face to face?”
Lianyi looked dissatisfied and directly denied the accusations made by the Wen family leader.
Master Wen just waved his hand, and Wu Yiniang, who was standing by, took a step forward, looked at the ripples and said:
"You are the hermit of the Zhongyin Tower, the best building in the world. It's you. Threaten me with my son and ask me to assassinate the head of the Wen family."
Lianyi glanced at the other party, then turned to look at Wen Shirui:
"Isn't her name Hu Die'er? Becoming Qinglan again? She has a child? But none of the three of you seem to have been born by her!"
"I am a member of Zhongming Tower, the No. 1 building in the world. I was controlled by others and was forced to enter Wenjiabao and became a dormant chess piece.
After so many years, I thought I would be like this It's a pity that you still came to find me.
You met me on the first day you entered the outer courtyard and ordered me to take action against the head of the family. When I refused, you threatened my son's life. I had to compromise."
Qing Lan said with a look of despair.
After hearing this, Lianyi did not rush to deny it, but cupped his hands and said:
"Master Wen, the three young masters, why bother to accuse me! This person's words are full of loopholes, and there is no substantive evidence. I don't think you will convict me just by listening to his words!
Wen Shirui looked at Lianyi's calm face and said:
"Miss Hua, we can't convict you just because we believe Wu Yiniang's words. We invite you here because we want both parties to confront each other face to face. There is no substance. Until the evidence comes, you are still my fiancée. "
Lianyi expressed satisfaction after hearing Wen Shirui's words, and then said:
"This fifth aunt said that she is the best in the world. I believe it. After all, If there was no one to support him, he wouldn't have been hiding for so long.
I deny that he said that I am also the best person in the world, and I reasonably suspect that he is diverting trouble to hide the real hidden person. ”
“Where’s the evidence? "
Wen Shixuan asked.
"If I were from Yinlou, since I asked him to assassinate the family leader, why would I use Ziyunhua to save the family leader? This is not a contradiction. ? "
"Because your goal is not the head of the family. You want to show favor to the Wen family through this matter, and then justifiably marry Mr. Wen and become the future wife of the head of the Wen family. Your ultimate purpose. ”
Qing Lan said coldly.
"Well, what you said makes sense. In that case, why did you let Song Jia steal my handkerchief and use it to frame me?"
Lianyi continued to ask.
"You asked me to do this. The purpose is to clear your own suspicions, divert the attention of the Wen family, and make them think that someone is framing you, and at the same time eliminate your competitors."
Qinglan continued. "Yeah, that's reasonable."
Lianyi nodded.
"Miss Hua, do you want to say anything else?"
Wen Shige asked.
“These are what the fifth aunt Qing Lan said. Where is the evidence?”
Ripple asked rhetorically.
"I am the evidence."
"No, this is not enough. I insist that you are framing me."
Lianyi shook her head.
“There is another way to prove my words.”
Qinglan said calmly.
“I would like to hear the details.”
Lianyi said after making a gesture of invitation.
“In the No. 1 House under Heaven, the members who can become the Yin House are all carefully selected and trained. In order to prevent the hermits from escaping halfway, they all have a kind of poison in their bodies.
This kind of poison will attack every month on the night of the full moon. Unless you take the antidote, you will have to endure the torture of the two heavens of ice and fire all night, making life worse than death. Tonight is the night of the full moon. Let’s test whether it is true. Know.”
Qing Lan said coldly.
"What if I take the antidote in advance?"
Ripple seems to be making it more difficult for herself.
"It doesn't matter. Even if you take the antidote in advance, the poison in your body will react on the night of the full moon. Anyone who understands pharmacology can detect it."
< br>After Qing Lan finished speaking, she turned her attention to Wen Shixuan.
Lianyi did not refute this time and asked calmly:
"Then we only have to wait until midnight to prove which of us is telling the truth and who is framing us?"
< br>"Yes!"
"Okay, I will accompany you. I hope you will be responsible for what you say."
"Of course, I will not gamble with my life."
After Qing Lan finished speaking, she stood aside with lowered eyes and said no more.
Lianyi bowed politely to the Wen family, and said with a smile:
"Wen family, before the truth comes out, I think it is better to lock up both of us. , so as not to disturb the master’s cultivation.”
The master of the family took a deep look at Ripple and nodded to Wen Shirui.
"Sister Hua, Qinglan, please come this way."
Then Wen Shirui personally took the two of them back to the dungeon. This time, none of the three Wen brothers left the dungeon. Each of them sat on a chair, drinking tea while waiting for midnight.
After Qing Lan arrived at the dungeon, she huddled in a corner and said nothing.
Lianyi sat cross-legged facing the three of them, closing his eyes to relax.
Time passed bit by bit, and the dungeon was very bright due to the presence of torches, leaving all the darkness invisible. Except for the sound of breathing, it was the sound of burning torches.
Qing Lan turned her attention to Ripple when it was close to midnight, but after midnight, Ripple didn't respond at all, and still meditated with her eyes closed, which gave Qing Lan a bad feeling.
In the end, he even clung to the dungeon railings, just to observe Ripples up close. The three Wen brothers also set their sights on Ripples.
Then it was a quiet night and nothing happened.
Lianyi slowly opened her eyes, stood up and said to Wen Shixuan:
"Third Young Master Wen, please help me feel my pulse and restore my innocence." (End of Chapter)< br>
