Although the coachman had already returned to the Prime Minister's residence yesterday evening and told Madame Lin that Leng Yun Ge was delayed by some matters and could not return to the residence, Madame Lin still could not sleep for the night.
She didn't even eat breakfast and stayed in the room waiting for news from Leng Yun Ge. At this time, she was pacing back and forth in the room with an anxious face, twisting the handkerchief in her hand.
Just as she was pacing around, the butler walked in and said," Madam, Eldest Miss is back.”
When Madame Lin heard this, her hanging heart finally relaxed. She hurriedly walked out of the door, followed by Granny Li.
Just as she was about to step out of the west courtyard, she saw Leng Yun Ge and Ying Xue walking towards the west courtyard with two tied up men in black.
When Leng Yun Ge saw Madame Lin, she quickly ran over and then fell into Madame Lin's arms, hugging her tightly.
It was as if a heart that had pretended to be strong had finally been melted by gentleness. Tears flowed down her face like a river that had broken through a dam.
Madame Lin didn't know what was going on. She could only gently pat her back and wipe her tears away.
"What's wrong? What happened? To make my precious daughter feel so wronged? Tell mother, mother will definitely seek justice for you.”Madame Lin wiped Leng Yun Ge's tears and said with heartache.
The coachman only told her that it was because of some matters, but did not say what it was. Now that she saw Leng Yunge so aggrieved, she must have encountered something unimaginable.
At this moment, Leng Cangyuan walked over from the east courtyard. Seeing Leng Yun Ge's face covered in tears, she suddenly did not know what was going on. She looked at Madame Lin in confusion.
"What's wrong? Yun Ge?" Leng Cang Yuan walked to Leng Yun Ge's side and said gently.
Leng Yunge did not answer, as if nothing could be said. She only cried aggrievedly, which made Madame Lin and Leng Cangyuan's heart ache even more when they saw it.
"Alright, let's go back to our room first and let Yun Ge calm down.”Madame Lin frowned and looked at Leng Yunge with heartache.
When they arrived at Madame Lin's room, Madame Lin and Leng Yun Ge sat on the couch. Leng Cang Yuan also sat down. Leng Yun Ge was much calmer, but she was still sobbing.
"Yun Ge, what happened? Quickly tell Father and Mother, Father and Mother will definitely help you. How dare you bully my daughter, I will definitely not let him have it easy.”Leng Cang sat on the couch and said angrily.
"Father, forget it." Leng Yun Ge stopped sobbing and said, looking at Leng Cang Yuan with a complicated and helpless gaze.
At this moment, Ying Xue couldn't stand it anymore. With a thud, she knelt down and said," Old Master, Madam, Young Miss is soft-hearted. Even at this point, she still can't bear to tell the truth. Everyone in the Prime Minister's residence knew that the Young Miss was a kind person. She was easy-going and never made enemies with others. He also got along very well with his sisters in the residence and treated his younger sister sincerely.”
" Ying Xue…" Leng Yun Ge shouted, as if he was stopping Ying Xue from continuing.
"Miss, don't hesitate anymore. I really can't stand it anymore. I can't bear to see Miss suffer such great grievances.”Ying Xue had no intention of stopping and said decisively," Yesterday afternoon, we were about to return to the residence, but we didn't expect to meet more than ten masked men in black on the way. They didn't seek money, but only wanted Miss's life. If it wasn't for the Fourteenth Prince who happened to pass by and saw injustice on the way, he might not have been able to see Miss today.”
When Leng Cangyuan and Madame Lin heard this, they were shocked. Their eyes widened as they looked at Ying Xue in disbelief.
Ying Xue became angrier as she spoke. She continued," If you don't believe me, you can ask the Fourteenth Prince. The Fourteenth Prince was injured while trying to save Miss. This is not something that can be made up.”
"Did you find out who ordered it?" Leng Cangyuan couldn't stand it anymore and shouted loudly.
"Right, who is it? How could he be so cruel?" Madame Lin was also angered. She slammed the table heavily and asked. She had always been gentle and rarely got so angry.
"Father, don't ask anymore." Leng Yun Ge looked at Leng Cang Yuan with grievance and sadness, which made Leng Cang Yuan even angrier and more determined to find the person who instigated him.
All these years, he owed Lin shi and her son too much. In the future, he would definitely not let them suffer any more grievances.
"Is Miss still so soft-hearted? She is so heartless to you, why do you have to cover for her?”Ying Xue straightened her back, knelt on the ground, and sternly said.
Although she was a servant and shouldn't have used such a tone to speak to her master, everyone could hear the eagerness to protect her master from her tone. Therefore, no one bothered about it. Instead, they were very grateful to Ying Xue.
"Old Master, Madam, after the Fourteenth Prince subdued the group of criminals, he captured two of them and brought them back to Old Master Liu's residence on Lingdu Peak. Under the interrogation of Old Master Liu and the Fourteenth Prince, the criminals have already confessed who the instigator is. However, this person is really shocking.”Ying Xue became even angrier as she spoke.
"Who is it?" Leng Cangyuan frowned and said.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room was very strange. It was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
"It's…it's Second Miss." Ying Xue replied angrily. There was not a trace of fear in her eyes.
"What is it? This bastard." Leng Cangyuan was so angry that his veins bulged.
"If Old Master doesn't believe me, you can bring the two criminals who were kidnapped here and ask them. If it wasn't for this servant threatening them with her life, Miss would have let them go long ago. Miss being so soft-hearted, it really wasn't worth it, she had given her heart to the wrong person.”
"What is it? Was there a mistake? Yun Ge and Yun Xi had a good relationship since they were young. How could they do such a thing?”Madame Lin was also in disbelief.
"Don't say anymore. Butler, bring the two criminals up. Also, call that bastard and her good mother over. I want to see what they have to say.”Leng Cangyuan shouted loudly, causing everyone present to be shocked. Immediately, no one dared to breathe loudly, deeply afraid that if something were to happen at this moment, they would be angered.
There were birds chirping by the window, but the room was silent. The air was filled with tension and fear.
After a while, the man sent by Old Master Liu to watch over the two criminals brought them up.
"Greetings, Prime Minister." The two men bent their knees and bowed to Leng Cang Yuan.
"Get up. You are?" Leng Cangyuan's face was like a thousand years of unmelted ice as he spoke indifferently.
"Milord, we are the guards of Old Master Liu's residence. Old Master Liu was worried that these two criminals would still harm Miss Leng, so he sent the two of us to watch over these two ungrateful criminals.”One of the more handsome men said.
"Old Master is so concerned about my daughter. I will definitely go up the mountain to thank you again.”Leng Cangyuan's expression softened.
"Old Master said that he likes Miss Leng very much, so there's no need to reward her.”The man said. He had been by Old Master Liu's side since he was young and knew that he did not like to be disturbed by people in the officialdom, so he rejected him on his behalf.
"Since that's the case, then fine. You've worked hard on the journey. Why don't you have lunch in the residence before going back?”
"No need. Our mission has been completed. We'll take our leave now.”
Leng Cangyuan could not persuade them to stay and agreed to their request to leave.
Concubine Su and Leng Yunxi hurried over. Along the way, Leng Yunxi did not have the chance to tell Concubine Su the whole story because the butler was present. He could only follow behind Concubine Su anxiously and uneasily.
When they arrived at Madame Lin's room, they saw Leng Cangyuan's face full of anger. Madame Lin's face was also filled with rare anger. Leng Yun Ge was crying her eyes out while Ying Xue was kneeling on the ground. When she saw them arrive, she glared at them angrily.
Concubine Su did not understand what was going on. She looked at Leng Cangyuan in confusion and was about to walk over to hold Leng Cangyuan's hand and ask him what had happened.
"You raised a good daughter." Leng Cangyuan shouted at Concubine Su. He then turned around and said to Leng Yunxi," Evil creature, kneel down."”
Concubine Su stopped in her tracks. The smile on her face froze.
Leng Yunxi felt guilty and knelt down in a panic, wringing a handkerchief in his hand.
"Master, what did Yunxi do wrong? Why are you so angry?" Concubine Su did not know the whole story. Last night, Leng Cangyuan was still sweet-talking her by her ear. This morning, he was also very gentle to her. Why did he seem to have changed into a different person in the blink of an eye?
"Daddy, what did I do wrong? I will definitely change." Leng Yunxi looked at Leng Cangyuan in fear.
"Are you still pretending? Now that you see your elder sister sitting here fine, are you very disappointed?”Leng Cangyuan stood up and kicked Leng Yunxi's shoulder.
Leng Yunxi was weak to begin with. After being kicked by Leng Cangyuan, his body leaned back and he fell to the ground.
"I really don't understand what you're saying.”When Leng Yunxi heard this, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up. She looked at Leng Cangyuan with an innocent and pitiful expression.
"Yunxi, Yunge has always been good to you and treats you very well. She never forgets about you when she has good food. How can you treat her like this?”Madame Lin also looked at Leng Yunxi with a sorrowful expression.
Concubine Su was still confused as she asked in confusion. "Master, sister, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand? What did Yun Xi do? Is there a misunderstanding?"
Leng Cangyuan ignored her and said to the two men in black who were tied up," You two, let me see if there's anyone in this room who instructed you to kill the Eldest Miss of the Prime Minister's Residence!”
" Yes," the two criminals replied submissively and went to identify the people one by one in the room. This made Leng Yunxi even more flustered. When she entered the room, she did not see them, so she had originally planned to deny it, but now it seemed that it was impossible.
"It's her, it's her. She gave us a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry. She even said that after the matter was done, she would reward us heavily. Originally, we didn't dare to lay our hands on the daughter of the Prime Minister, but the price that this young lady offered was too tempting, which was why we made such a mistake.”A criminal walked up to Leng Yunxi, pointed at her, and said in a panic.# Daguan reviewed: Daguan Time:111420184: 26PM #Cancel review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
