Chapter 498: Can’t Move Now
"What are you talking about? We have been brothers for many years, how could I hope for his death?"
"So you are still a kind-hearted person?"
"That's natural!"
"Then I want to ask you, now that you know your brother is dead, have you ever gone to pay your respects to him?"
"This..." Lu Jingxun was speechless: "I want to go, but you know I'm really busy and can't get away."
Even Lu Jingxun himself felt that this statement was false, but it didn't matter, and Ye Hai didn't believe it either.
He looked up at Lu Jingxun nonchalantly and said, "My Lord, I came here today on the orders of my master. I just want to ask if you have met the prince in private."
"In private."
Lawrence Lu's brain was working quickly, and before others could react, he had already subconsciously answered: "No, absolutely not."
Afraid that Ye Hai would not believe it, he added: "Shi'an, although you married into the Prince's Mansion, we have seldom interacted since you got married. If you don't believe it, you can check it out."
Seeing Lu Jingxun say this, Ye Hai looked down on him even more: "Have you noticed anything about the prince's rebellion?"
"This……"
Lu Jingxun lowered his head, his eyes rolling around.
"Since I seldom come into contact with him, I naturally don't know anything about him."
Looking at the smooth-talking Lu Jingxun in front of him, Ye Hai's mind was indeed the honest and dull uncle from Huaishu Village.
"How ironic."
He said this without thinking, then stood up and left.
Li Hongyu said that the Yongkang Marquis Mansion could not be moved. The presence of the two brothers and sisters would not cause any loss to the family except to scare them. At least that was the case now.
As soon as Ye Hai left, Wang Xuening came up to him and said, "My Lord."
"It really changed overnight."
"My Lord, what are you going to do?"
"What should I do?" Lu Jingxun didn't know what to do.
"The old marquis has gone back to Huainan City now. You are the only one here. You must make a good decision."
"But the people in our mansion have no idea what's going on outside right now."
Hearing what Lu Jingxun said, Wang Xuening said, "Although I don't understand the affairs of the court, I am willing to contribute to the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. My Lord, please wait, maybe I can find out something."
"you?"
Wang Xuening nodded: "My Lord, please wait here. I will go out and test the waters."
When Wang Xue Ning chased out, everyone in the mansion had already been dragged out, including Ye Lian'er and her brother.
"Please wait a moment, both of you."
The two knew Wang Xuening's identity. If Wang Xuening called them, they would naturally stop and wait for her.
Wang Xuening bowed to the two of them and said, "Please greet the prince."
Ye Lian'er said: "Don't forget what the prince told you to do."
"Of course I won't forget. The Marquis is smart and knows how to choose."
After watching Ye Lian'er and her brother and sister mount their horses and ride away, Wang Xuening returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
As soon as she returned, the old lady called her over and asked, "Did you find out anything? What did those two people say?"
Wang Xue Ning did not hide it: "Just as they said just now, the prince has been imprisoned for treason."
Yu Xiuying was heartbroken: "Shi'an... my Shi'an, what should I do with her? She's pregnant..."
The old lady had always been oppressed by Yu Xiuying and her daughter. Now that she knew Lu Shian was in jail, she was no longer so patient with Yu Xiuying.
"Okay, why are you crying? I'm not dead yet."
Yu Xiuying was choked by the scolding, but she quickly reacted: "Please rest assured, old lady, if you really die, I will also cry hard and report to the authorities so that everyone in Anjing City will know that I am a filial daughter-in-law."
"You, you you you... I'm not even dead yet, and you're already cursing me."
"Old Madam, you should save your energy. Shi'an just got into trouble and you're already making things difficult for me. Don't you really want to leave yourself a way out? If the Crown Prince was framed for treason, and Shi'an turns the tables tomorrow, he will still be the Crown Prince's favorite concubine. At that time, Old Madam, don't keep sending gifts to your wife."
"You, I just have one thing to say. Look at you, why are you nagging on and on about all this? Aren't things chaotic enough right now?"
"It's not my fault that the mess happened."
Yu Xiuying is no longer weak at all. Following the example of her two daughters, she is now more and more unable to afford to suffer any loss.
After being scolded by Yu Xiuying, the old lady could only sulk.
If I had known earlier, I would have gone to Huainan City with the old marquis.
Wang Xue Ning bowed to the old lady again: "Old lady, I still have to go see the Marquis."
"Go."
