Mugui

Chapter 396 Go back and sit down!
Things that were already about to be finalized were once Lin Ji's actions, and the atmosphere in the whole room became very strange.

The expressions of Cao, mother and son looking at Lin Ji were very exciting.

There is hatred, anger, blame, and even the urge to hit someone.

Lin Xiao, Yang Mu and Mrs. Bao looked at each other in confusion. What's going on?The Lin family's concubine, who had always been so transparent, actually spoke to them?

Nanny Qin was so anxious that she kowtowed and said, "No, no, I didn't poison you!"

Although Yan's mother is still calm now, her trembling fingers have exposed her guilty conscience.

Mrs. Qin on the side was stunned. What is going on?
Why did the fourth young master take sides in Chengqiyuan?Are you out of your mind?

The most anxious one was Concubine Zhao. She stepped forward quickly, grabbed her son's sleeve, and whispered: "Of course the ancestors and the prince and princess have the final say in this matter. What does it have to do with you?"

As he said this, he dragged his son back to his seat.

Lin Mao suddenly said: "Let him say it!"

He felt that the concubine, who had never taken him seriously, still spoke very logically.

Concubine Zhao was immediately stunned after hearing Lin Mao's words. Isn't the prince causing trouble for his son?

Lin Ji was very happy. His father was willing to let him say it, because he must have felt that what he said made sense.

He patted his biological mother's slightly trembling hand, bowed her hand to his father, said "yes", and stood back in the center of the room again.

He walked towards Shopkeeper Wan, who was trying to reduce his presence, and said, "Shopkeeper Wan, who is the boss behind your Jinyuan Pawn Shop?"

When Lin Ji walked towards Shopkeeper Wan, Ms. Cao felt that something bad was going on. When she heard Lin Ji's question, Ms. Cao felt nervous and wished she could give Lin Ji a handful of poison right now to shut him up.

Concubine Zhao watched with fear as her son stood up for Cheng Qiyuan and secretly looked at the princess's eyes. Unsurprisingly, she saw strong murderous intent.

Her heart skipped a beat and she clenched her fists tightly.

When I went to see Yang Mu and Lin Xiao again, I saw that they were young and not timid in the face of big events. I couldn't help but wonder, had I underestimated this young couple?

Was it wrong to take sides with the princess?
No no no, impossible.

The princess has been in charge of the palace for more than [-] years, how can two children be able to fight?
While Concubine Zhao was turning around a thousand times, Shopkeeper Wan over there was so embarrassed that she broke out in a cold sweat, stammered and was speechless.

Mrs. Cao glanced at the back of Lin Ji's head fiercely, then turned to wink at a fat maid next to her.

The fat maid understood and quietly left.

Lin Ji's eyes were bright and he said, "If Shopkeeper Wan doesn't tell us, I think Jing Zhaoyin would be very willing to cooperate with the Lin family. Look through the business directory of Jinyuan Pawn Shop and tell us the master behind you!"

Shopkeeper Wan didn't dare to take a look at Mr. Cao, but he couldn't resist Lin Ji's questions. Just when he was thinking about what to do, a boy suddenly came in and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, someone has seen it with his own eyes." Zhou Rui was killed last night."

Lin Mao raised his eyes and asked, "Where is the person?"

The boy said: "Just outside the courtyard."

Lin Mao waved his hand and the boy went out. After a while, he brought someone in.

Yang Mu was happy when he saw the visitor.

After she took charge of the fourth department and the sixth bureau, she was assigned a total of two stewards, one was Steward Qin from the Accounting Department, and the other was Steward Guo from the Tea and Wine Department.

However, she also dismissed Manager Guo, so she should now call her Mrs. Guo.

Just now she was still thinking that Mrs. Qin came to prove that she had "filled her own pockets". I wonder where Cao would use Mrs. Guo. Didn't she see this?

After Mrs. Guo came in, she knelt down to greet her.Lin Maodao: "Tell me, how Zhou Rui was killed."

Mrs. Guo seemed to be very frightened, and said tremblingly: "Old slave...Old slave saw...the imperial concubine kill Guo Guoshi with one sword."

Lin Ji asked: "How did you see it?"

Manager Guo said: "The old slave's family lives by the moat. The cat ran away at night. I saw it when I was chasing the cat! After the imperial concubine killed Zhou Rui with a sword, she kicked Zhou Rui's body into the moat!"

Lin Ji asked: "How can you confirm that she is the Crown Princess?"

Guo Guoguo said: "I saw the face of the Crown Princess, and I also know the clothes of the Crown Princess."

Seeing that Lin Ji still wanted to get to the bottom of things, Cao said, "That's enough! Shiro, you are still entangled in such an obvious matter, and there are so many people testifying and physical evidence, because you want to exonerate the imperial concubine." ?"

She gave Lin Ji a warning look and said, "Don't forget, no matter how nice she is, she is still your sister-in-law!"

Yang Mu immediately changed his face and said loudly: "Hey? What do you mean?"

Is this a hint to everyone that Lin Ji is attracted to her?

How could this woman say such shameless and irresponsible words?

Lin Xiao reached out to catch Yang Mu who was about to rush over. He gave her a comforting look and motioned for her to sit down first. He stood up and said to Cao: "Princess, be careful what you say. Insult a woman's innocence even if it is the most despicable thing." No one knows how to do it, don’t lose the face of a noble lady!”

Mr. Cao had been speaking indiscriminately just now, but he didn't expect that Lin Xiao would say such ugly words to his face.

But he was the one who said the unpleasant words just now, and it was not easy to use filial piety to suppress others at this moment.

Mrs. Cao endured her anger and said, "The prince should first think about how to intercede for the prince's concubine! The crime of poisoning the elder is not a light one!"

Lin Xiao glanced at Cao with his deep eyes, and then walked towards Lin Ji, who Cao said was blushing like blood.

He patted his concubine on the shoulder and said: "The princess is unscrupulous in her words, so don't take it to heart, Shiro. Although she spreads rumors and refutes them, everyone here is not a fool, and they don't believe every dirty word."

Cao said angrily: "Your Majesty, be careful what you say!"

Lin Ji was embarrassed and wanted to explain, "Brother, I didn't..."

Lin Xiao shook his head, saying that there was no need to explain the matter.

He pushed Lin Ji and asked his concubine to sit down, and then turned around without bothering to look back, "Princess, as an elder, is not careful about what she says. I have a crooked upper beam and a crooked lower beam."

Ms. Cao took a deep breath and glared at Lin Xiao.

Lin Shan stood up, took a step forward and was about to speak, when Lin Xiao said: "Go back and sit down!"

Lin Shan had never been reprimanded like this by his brother in his entire life. In front of so many people, he was embarrassed and could not disobey his brother's orders, so he could only sit down with a blush on his face.

Lin Qiuchen felt sorry for her brother, pointed at Lin Xiao and said anxiously: "You..."

Lin Xiao revealed his murderous intention and shouted: "Shut up! If you talk again, slap your mouth!"

Since the brother and sister no longer want brotherhood, how can he save face for them?
Lin Qiuchen choked back her next words, and her eyes immediately became moist. The grievance and shame made her cry instantly.

Lin Xiao said without feeling distressed: "If you want to cry, get out and cry!"

How could Lin Qiuchen bear being refuted like this?
She covered her face and wanted to run out crying, but she thought that if she ran out, she would not see Yang Mu's fate, so she just covered her face and sat there, neither daring to cry nor willing to leave, she just felt that she was extremely embarrassed.

Yang Mu, who was sitting next to him, looked at his domineering husband with little stars in his eyes.
