Prince’s Fierce Concubine - C99
The atmosphere immediately turned silent.
When Marquis Anping’s Wife saw Li Churan and spoke up for him, a cold glint surfaced in his eyes.
However, she had reason to believe that Lin Xuecha did indeed want to bribe a master exorcist to continue persecuting her.
She looked at Lin Xuecha, and retorted.
How can the Imperial Censor speak like that, I am not without witnesses, I am not without witnesses! Even if Xueju is the first daughter of the direct descendant of the, the Son of Heaven has violated the law, and is also suffering the same punishment as a commoner, asking her is asking her, how could she be wronged?!
She turned her gaze to the kneeling servant girl outside. “Come in.”
The servant girl moved upon hearing the voice and continued to kneel in front of Marquis Anping’s Wife.
Marquis Anping’s Wife said. “Tell me what you know, and let Imperial Censor have a good look at the nature of the Snow Tea.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
The servant girl kowtowed to everyone, and then, she recounted the predetermined excuse given by Marquis Anping’s Wife one word at a time.
In the end, she bit her lips and pretended to be angry as she gave a conclusion.
“Madam, your words are absolutely not false. The princess wanted to harm you, but you must not believe her wrongly!”
Marquis Anping’s Wife’s face turned ugly.
She lowered her eyes, looked at Lin Xuecha who was also kneeling on the ground, and said.
“Just now, I, the Crown Prince, Fifth Prince and I heard everything clearly from the outside. Master did not agree, so you kept using gold to tempt Master, trying to do some evil deeds. Now that things have progressed to this point, what else do you have to say?”
Lin Xuecha bit her lips, she suddenly looked up and lost control of her voice as she spoke.
“Mother …”
Her tone was slow, low, and filled with infinite sadness and disappointment. The crowd’s gaze fell on her, only to see her smile bitterly and speak in a soft voice.
Snow Tea has always known that Mother doesn’t like Snow Tea, even if Snow Tea doesn’t live in the Palace and lives in the Palace, you still don’t like Snow Tea. Yes, Snow Tea lives in an monastery and hasn’t been under the control of the Capital City for ten years, but Snow Tea thinks that she has never done anything against her conscience, let alone plotted against her mother.
Her expression became more and more miserable, but she still forced a smile.
Hearing the words of an outsider, you are not asking for the snow tea, but for interrogation. From a different perspective, if it was actually Little Sister Xueyu who was talking to the Grandmaster, would you think that she was scheming something with the Grandmaster and would not want to see the light of day?!
“You actually compared to Xueyu, you think you can compare with her?”
Marquis Anping’s Wife could not help but sneer at her.
“You even have witness and material evidence, yet you still want to quibble? You’re simply a fool.”
Lin Xuecha’s eyes flickered.
She lowered her eyes slightly.
“If that’s the case, then please bring up the crime of Snow Tea.”
“You bribed a master exorcist on your own accord and attempted to murder me. Isn’t this crime enough?!”
Lin Xuecha laughed, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
“Attempting to murder? Who can prove that a servant girl who is not in the courtyard is a master who is being bribed by Snow Tea? ”
Marquis Anping’s Wife held onto a small piece of paper.
Seeing that Lin Xuecha was still so stubborn, she passed the small paper in her hands to the crown prince and said angrily.
This little piece of paper is the material evidence you wrote to the master, to attempt to murder me, and you also need that gold, as well as all of us who heard it outside the house, all of it is material evidence. Now that you refuse to admit it, well, since you are a princess, that is fine too.
The Crown Prince took the paper from Marquis Anping’s Wife.
Marquis Anping’s Wife nodded at him, “Please read out the contents of the paper, so that everyone can hear it clearly. Let these shameless people know how to write the four words, ‘filial piety’!”
Lin Xuecha’s face paled, “Crown Prince, you mustn’t!”
The more Lin Xuecha tried to stop her, the more Marquis Anping’s Wife felt that she had something up her sleeve.
She said to the crown prince, “Crown Prince, after you.”
The crown prince glanced at Lin Xuecha with deep and serene eyes.
He opened the piece of paper, and when he clearly saw the contents of the paper, his eyes narrowed slightly and he read it out loud.
“Praying: Did mother also think that Xue Chou was having a difficult time in the manor? That’s why I sought out mother and wanted to teach her a lesson. Mother doesn’t need to worry so much.
“Of course, if mother asks for someone else to try to molest her, then it would be better for you, mother, to show yourself again and teach your mother a lesson. I will call you, ‘Snow Tea’.”
As soon as his voice fell, everyone’s expressions changed.
Especially Marquis Anping’s Wife, whose complexion was as pale as paper.
Some of them bit their lips and slowly stood up.
The man looked at Marquis Anping’s Wife, whose face was pale.
“Mother, you better take care of yourself.”
Marquis Anping’s Wife’s eyes trembled, “Snow Tea, you, what did you say?”
“The reason why Xue Cha invited the Grandmaster was to ask him to help her with her prayers. He wanted her to inform Mother that she shouldn’t bother with Mother anymore.”
Lin Xuecha’s expression was calm as she looked at Marquis Anping’s Wife. There were no ripples in her eyes, and her voice was cold.
“Last night, mother really did look for mother. I don’t know about the snow-white tea, but when the snow-white tea really spoke up for mother, mother did not like it and directly trampled on it. She even insulted the snow-white tea a hundred times.
Another case was implicated before it was over.
Everyone looked at Marquis Anping’s Wife, their expressions changed.
The sky was still dark, but there was no longer any rain.
When Lin Xuecha saw Su Nanxing again, it was already the night of the next day.
Today was the Queen’s birthday celebration, held in the palace.
After yesterday, although Marquis Anping’s Wife did not want to admit it, she had sent people to molest Lin Xuecha, but in the past few days, she had not dared to do anything to Lin Xuecha, so what if she did?
When the crown prince asked about the cause and effect of this matter, Lin Xuecha replied indifferently.
“After all, this isn’t a good thing. If it weren’t for His Highness saving me that time, I would never have survived until today.”
But when she asked again how Lin Xuecha found out about this matter, Lin Xuecha pursed her lips, sighed, and said.
“It was mother who asked me to give you the tea in a dream. It was last night.” She said that tea was her most precious treasure, and no one could bully her. If anyone bullied her, she would go find them and kill them!
Her serious, helpless and warm appearance caused everyone present to be stunned.
However, since it was a strange matter, no one dared to comment on it.
But there was also no proof that the people who tried to kill Lin Xuecha before, were actually sent to the Marquis Anping’s Wife.
Therefore, including her in the waiting list didn’t do anything to her.
With the crown prince and empress on her shoulder, she probably wouldn’t get hurt!
Lin Xuecha sneered.
However, Ting Zhu was looking at the servant girl that was dragged by the Marquis Anping’s Wife to carry the blame, and asked Lin Xuecha curiously in a low voice when she was dragged out to handle the situation.
“Why does the princess know that the mistress is purposely plotting something?”
Yes.
Everything that happened yesterday was a trap.
Although it was just a simple small matter.
Furthermore, she did not truly want to put Marquis Anping’s Wife to death.
He just wanted to make it clear to the world that Marquis Anping’s Wife was not as simple as people imagined.
He only wanted to warn her not to be so rampant!
He scolded and insulted her without restraint.
After all, she had said so long ago.
She’s not a good person.
Normally, she wouldn’t make a move, but that didn’t mean that she was being carelessly humiliated.
At that time, Lin Xuecha said indifferently as she held the gold that had been returned in her hands.
“A person who has been frightened by a ghost all night is unable to relax until they receive news that the ghost has been driven away.”
No matter what, he won’t relax.
The Marquis Anping’s Wife only lost to her in terms of expression.
And today, the Queen’s birthday, seemed to be for the sake of not showing her guilt, as she and Lin Xueyu had come together, to sit in the same carriage as Lin Xuecha, and had come.
Lin Xuecha alighted from the carriage, but he didn’t know that the next time she saw Su Nanxing was on today’s night.
After getting off the carriage.
The man’s tall body cast a faint shadow under the dim light.
Marquis Anping’s Wife and Lin Xueyu both walked over and bowed to Su Nanxing.
Lin Xuecha naturally could not avoid it.
She then bent down and bowed towards Su Nanxing.
“Snow tea, greetings your majesty, your majesty is well.”
The man’s gaze was calm and collected, he raised his hand, but his gaze was fixated on Lin Xuecha.
“Madam, please go in first. This King and Princess have something to say.”
Marquis Anping’s Wife looked at him, but did not tell Lin Xuecha anything.
She only nodded at him, then left the place with Lin Xueyu.
Once the two of them left, Lin Xuecha immediately felt uncomfortable.
It was an uncomfortable feeling all over his body.
She pursed her lips and also lowered her eyes slightly. Without taking another glance at Su Nanxing, she kept silent.
The man was silent for a moment. His voice was as melodious as ever.
“Why didn’t you return yesterday?”
Lin Xuecha blinked his eyes lightly.
“Yesterday, that kind of thing happened to mother. How could Xue Chou leave by herself …”
The man looked at her, “Then why didn’t you return home today?”
His tone made Lin Xuecha feel even weirder, as if he was questioning his wife why she didn’t return home.
However, he more or less knew that he was overthinking it. Lin Xuecha lowered his eyes and replied, “Your Highness, do you have to ask further?”
“Could it be that This King should not have asked?” It was only natural for a man to return.
Lin Xuecha still did not look at him, nor replied him.
A few days ago, he forcefully kissed her and even asked her to do something. Why did he want her to face him so naturally …!
The man saw that she didn’t answer and his eyes darkened.
He asked, “Are you still angry with This King?”
“I don’t dare.” Lin Xuecha pursed her lips and replied, “How dare Snow Tea be angry with Your Highness.”
Wasn’t this tone because he was angry?
The man frowned. Just as he was about to say something, a low and deep voice suddenly cut in.
“Your Highness Jing Ran, Princess Yuexi …”
After which, he saw the eyes of the young woman in his line of sight brighten as she turned to look at that person, calling out to him with a smile on her face.
“Imperial Censor …”
Su Nanxing’s face suddenly darkened, and she pursed her lips without saying a word.
Li Churan walked towards Lin Xuecha and cupped his hands towards him, “Your Highness.”
