" Who is it?" Long Yu 'er clenched her fists and said angrily. If Lin Yixi said it, she would probably attack immediately.
" Don't be angry. If you're angry, your enemies will get what they want." Lin Yixi squeezed Long Yuer's hand gently."Yu 'er, who's that person in front?”
Long Yu 'er followed Lin Yixi's gaze and saw a luxuriously dressed woman looking at her with an awkward expression. Long Yu' er frowned,"Her name is Long Li 'er, my ninth sister.”
" Did you offend her?" Lin Yixi continued.
" Although I've messed with her once in a while, it's very rare, and it's all from a few years ago, especially in recent years. I haven't had any contact with her at all," Long Yu 'er said with a slight frown.
Lin Yixi frowned slightly at Long Yu 'er's words."Then did you offend her family?”
" I don't know," Long Yu 'er shook her head and asked Lin Yixi,""Yixi, are you suspecting that the Ninth Imperial Sister is related to the assassination attempt on me?”
" Yeah, and the possibility is very high," Lin Yixi said confidently. He saw the killing intent in Long Li 'er's eyes, and it was directed at Long Yu' er.
"Yixi, how did you know that Long Li 'er wanted to assassinate me?”Long Yu 'er asked curiously.
" I can see the killing intent in her eyes," Lin Yixi smiled as he looked at Long Yuer.?
" What's killing intent?" Long Yu 'er asked curiously. It was the first time she had heard of this name.
" Killing intent, in simple terms, it's the motive to kill someone, and it's the aura that's exposed," Lin Yixi explained.?
" Yixi, what should I do now?" Long Yu 'er asked for Lin Yixi's opinion. Being with Lin Yixi, Long Yu' er didn't seem to have her own opinions anymore.
" Just pretend like nothing happened. This is just my guess. It's okay to do it after we find evidence," Lin Yixi smiled.
" Okay, I understand, Yixi." Long Yu 'er nodded.
Long Yu 'er walked to Long Li' er's side and smiled at her,""Sister Li 'er, it's been a long time since I've seen you.”
" Yeah, we sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. Yu 'er is already so beautiful," Long Lier smiled back, but to Lin Yixi, it sounded extremely fake.
" This must be Lin Yixi, you're so handsome. Sister is so lucky," Long Li 'er looked at Lin Yixi and said to Long Yu' er.
" Sister, you flatter me." Long Yu 'er looked at Long Li' er and said proudly.
" Look at you. It seems like Brother-in-law treats you very well. I'm really envious of you." Long Lier's tone was a little resentful and sad.
" Yu 'er believes that you can find someone better," Long Yu' er said with a smile. She didn't seem to notice the change in Long Li 'er's tone.
"Is that so? " Thank you for your kind words, Sister. I wish you happiness too." Long Lier's words were a little cold at the beginning, but she sounded a little forced at the end.
"Sister Li 'er, Yu' er still has some matters to attend to. I'll leave first.”Long Yu 'er felt that something was wrong, so she suggested leaving.
" Originally, I wanted to invite you to my place. Now that I have something to do, I won't keep you. Next time, I'll treat you well," Long Lier said with a smile.
However, when Long Lier mentioned hospitality, her tone changed slightly. It was a little cold. If one didn't listen carefully, one wouldn't notice it.
Lin Yixi had been paying attention to Long Lier's words and actions, so he could hear the meaning of Long Lier's hospitality. Lin Yixi estimated that Long Lier would hire another assassin to kill Long Yuer in the next few days.
" Then I'll leave first," Long Yu 'er said and pulled Lin Yixi away. Long Li 'er looked at Long Yu' er's back and her expression immediately turned cold.
" Yixi, how can we prove that Long Li 'er hired an assassin to assassinate me?" Long Yu' er asked after she got a glass of water for Lin Yixi in her room.
Lin Yixi smiled and took the water from Long Yuer's hand. He drank it in one gulp and put down the cup."We have to start with Long Li 'er's personal servant girl.”
"Why? This shouldn't work," Long Yu 'er asked. If she tortured her servant girl and told her the truth, Long Heng would definitely not believe it.
" Long Li 'er's servant girl must have been punished a lot by Long Li' er's side," Lin Yixi said.
" How do you know? Do you know Zhu 'er?" Long Yu' er asked curiously. Logically speaking, Lin Yixi shouldn't know Long Li 'er's maid.
" Did you notice Long Li 'er's maid Zhu' er? She has a lot of wounds on her body, both old and new," Lin Yixi analyzed.
" I'm not as lecherous as you. You keep looking at girls," Long Yu 'er said, but there was a hint of jealousy in her voice.
" Even if I want to look at girls, I want to look at peerless beauties like you. Why would I look at Zhu 'er, don't you think so?" Lin Yixi leaned closer to Long Yu' er and whispered in her ear.
" You're so glib and annoying," Long Yu 'er scolded Lin Yixi before turning her head away. Her heart was filled with joy, as if she had eaten honey.
After a while, Long Yu 'er turned around with a red face and said worriedly," How are we going to get Zhu' er to help us? It's a big crime to betray Master."
" Don't worry, I have my ways. Long Lier will definitely send Zhu 'er to hire an assassin in the next few days. We'll capture her first," Lin Yixi said, as if he was planning everything.
Two days later, Lin Feng and Lin Yue brought someone to Lin Yixi." Young Master, this is the person you wanted."”
" Lin Feng, I told you to bring Pearl here. Why are you tied up? Untie her! Yue 'er, go get the princess," Lin Yixi said as he looked at Pearl.
" Yes, Young Master," Lin Feng and Lin Yue replied.
After a while, Long Yu 'er came over." Yixi, why did you call me here? Eh, why is Zhu' er here?" Long Yu 'er knew why Lin Yixi called her over without Lin Yixi saying anything.
" Lin Feng, Yue 'er, you two stay here and we'll guard," Lin Yixi said to Lin Feng and the others.
" Young…" Lin Yue wanted to ask Lin Yixi why she wanted to catch Pearl, but Lin Yixi shook her head at her. She could only suppress her curiosity and go out to guard.
After Lin Feng and the others left, Lin Yixi looked at the panicking Pearl and smiled."Pearl, you shouldn't be living so well at your master's place, right?”
"Yes, I am. "No, Master treats me very well," Pearl replied subconsciously, but then denied it.
"You don't have to lie to me. From the wounds on your body, I can tell that you're often beaten and scolded by your master. Moreover, I've also checked. You've helped Long Li 'er do many bad things. Don't tell me you haven't seen someone you don't want to see or don't dare to see in your dreams?”Lin Yixi's tone became deeper and deeper.
"I, I…No, don't.”
" Zhu 'er, I know you're a kind person. You don't want to do this kind of thing, but your parents are in Long Lier's hands, so you have no choice." Lin Yixi looked at Zhu' er sharply.
Zhu 'er clenched her fists and bit her lower lip, her eyes red.
" Zhu 'er, you should go back and identify Long Li' er's crimes. As long as you identify Long Li 'er's crimes, I can let you work for the Lin family. I might even give you some money to let you and your family go far away. You won't have to suffer the pain of betraying your master," Lin Yixi looked at Zhu' er.
" No, no, I can't do this, I can't," Pearl said fearfully.
"Zhu 'er, based on your understanding of Long Li' er, do you think Long Li 'er would kill you to silence you if Yu' er was really assassinated? If you died, would your parents still be of value?”Lin Yixi continued.
Zhu 'er was a smart person. She thought about Lin Yixi's words carefully and finally wavered," But, but…"
"I know what you're worried about. I can save your parents first, then you can go and identify Long Li 'er. That way, you won't have to worry about anything, right?”Lin Yixi promised.
" Alright…alright." After a long while, Pearl finally agreed with much difficulty.
" Young Master, I've rescued Zhu 'er's parents." Just as Zhu' er agreed, An Xue walked in with a man and a woman.
" Anxue, well done," Lin Yixi praised.
" Father, Mother, I'm useless. I've made you suffer." When Pearl saw her parents, she cried tears of joy. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to them.
" Let's go, let them have a good reunion," Lin Yixi brought Long Yuer out, leaving Zhu 'er and her family behind.
"Yixi, will father believe what Zhu 'er said?”Long Yu 'er asked Lin Yixi as she walked out.
" Your father will believe us. Besides, we have the killer as a witness, and we have evidence. You don't have to worry," Lin Yixi smiled.
" Evidence? What evidence?" Long Yu 'er was confused.
" The evidence is the money. The money in the palace has a number, and Long Li 'er wouldn't be stupid enough to use the money in the palace. She would definitely ask Zhu' er to go to the bank to exchange for money. The money is the evidence," Lin Yixi explained.
" That's right, Yixi. You're so smart," Long Yu 'er said in admiration.
"Don't worship me too much. I'll be embarrassed. "Let's go eat first, we'll go in after," Lin Yixi said with a smile.
After the meal, Lin Yixi and Long Yu 'er came to Pearl's side and asked,"Zhu 'er, how about it? Go and identify Long Li' er tomorrow, okay?”
" Yes." Zhu 'er nodded. Her parents had also advised Zhu' er to help Long Yu 'er and point out Long Li' er. They had suffered a lot from Long Li 'er.
" Young Master Lin, Mrs. Lin, thank you for saving us, no, saving our family," Zhu 'er's parents saw Lin Yixi and Long Yuer enter and wanted to kneel and kowtow to thank them.
Lin Yixi quickly supported her parents."You're welcome. Don't kneel to me. I'm not used to others doing this.”
The next day, Zhu 'er accompanied Long Yu' er into the palace and pointed out Long Li 'er. In front of all kinds of evidence and witnesses, Long Heng issued a decree to imprison Long Li 'er in the palace and not allow her to take even half a step out of the room.
Zhu Er chose to stay far away from Tian Du, looking for a place with few people to be filial to her parents. Lin Yixi also gave Zhu Er a large sum of money. Even if they didn't work for the rest of their lives, it was enough for them to spend.
" Bo..." Yixi, thank you," Long Yu 'er kissed Lin Yixi's face repeatedly.
" Oh, you took advantage of me for no reason. No, I have to return the favor," Lin Yixi said as he kissed Long Yu 'er's lips.
After some time, Lin Yixi finally let go, and Long Yu 'er fell into Lin Yixi's arms, panting.
" Yu 'er, do you want to know why Long Li' er wants to kill you?" Lin Yixi said to Long Yu 'er.
" Yes." Long Yu 'er nodded.
" Do you remember that you punished a bad official a month ago? He was beheaded by your father," Lin Yixi stroked Long Yuer's hair.
" I remember. Now that I think about it, I'm still angry," Long Yu 'er said.
" That person is Long Li 'er's cousin, and Long Li' er is in love with him. That's why Long Li 'er sent an assassin to kill you," Lin Yixi hugged Long Yu' er tightly.
" I see." Long Yu 'er nodded.
The next day, Lin Yixi woke up early as usual to watch the sunrise with Ling Ziyun. Then, they practiced sword techniques in the courtyard. Ling Ziyun just watched Lin Yixi silently and accompanied Lin Yixi.
" Ziyun, let's go out for a walk," Lin Yixi said to Ziyun after dinner. Zier and Ling Zixue were training hard because they were only at the beginning stage of Qi Gatherer, while Ling Ziyun was at the advanced stage.
"Alright, do you want to call Yu 'er?”Ling Ziyun asked. She knew about Lin Yixi and Long Yu 'er.
" Silly, just the two of us," Lin Yixi said as he touched Ling Ziyun's face.
"Zi Yun, why are you only looking and not buying? "They won't be happy," Lin Yixi pointed at the shops and smiled.
" I just want to be with you. It doesn't matter if I buy it or not," Ling Ziyun smiled. She was telling the truth. As long as she could be with Lin Yixi, she would feel very happy.
" Do you have no money? Don't worry, I have plenty of husbands. Do you want me to buy them for you?" Lin Yixi joked.
"You only know now. Didn't you see that I've been picking? I'm waiting for you to buy it for me. "It's just that you're too stupid to realize it," Ling Ziyun joked.
" Fine, you dare call me stupid? I'll teach you a lesson," Lin Yixi said as he tickled Ling Ziyun.
" Hahaha, honey, let me go. This is the main street," Ling Ziyun immediately begged.
" So, it's fine as long as it's not on the streets," Lin Yixi said as he hugged Ling Ziyun.
" You're so annoying, let go of me," Ling Ziyun struggled. She wasn't used to being hugged by Lin Yixi on the street. It was so embarrassing.
" Xi, look, who's that?" Ling Ziyun suddenly pointed ahead.
