Jing Shu didn't know the reason, so she could only guess: "It is said that Miss Li and Master Qin have a close friendship. Maybe Miss Mu Liu wants something?"
"Mu Yao is so popular with Mrs. Mu, why do you have to ask others for anything?"
Jing Shu originally just made random guesses, why: "The second wife is in a bit of a dilemma in the Mu family. Maybe Miss Mu Liu has something that she can't explain to Mrs. Mu..."
Wei Laner thought thoughtfully, "Mu Ying's scandal must have something to do with Li Qingyi. I think it was Mu Ying who tried to trick Li Qingyi but failed, and in turn was defeated! The inside story must be much more complicated than we know. Could it be Is this the reason for Mu Yao?"
*****
As the portraits of those "spice" were put up to advertise for relatives, Mu Ying's deeds had already spread throughout the capital.
The Mu family tried their best to operate, but they could not escape being scolded.
In the end, the fourth prince was revealed to others as the "sufferer", which somewhat calmed down some of the anger.
After all, his appearance was so ruined that people had to believe that the Mu family really didn't know about this and paid the price to stop Mu Ying.
Many people lamented that the fourth prince's unparalleled elegance was ruined like this!
Naturally, the Wei family would like to see this disaster happen to the Mu family.
However, how to deal with it was a difficult problem. No one wanted to offend the Mu family, so they suggested that the emperor leave the matter to Qin Zeng with full authority on the grounds that Qin Zeng had seen it with his own eyes.
So, this hot potato finally returned to Qin Zeng's hands.
Mu Ying was sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but the crime has not yet been determined.
Therefore, when Li Qingyi and Qin Zeng met her, she was not in much of a state of embarrassment other than being mentally depressed. It must be that the people in the Criminal Department did not dare to embarrass her too much.
Mu Yuanchang's posture was very low. He stood behind Qin Zeng without saying a word, waiting for Qin Zeng's decision.
But Mu Ying was not so indifferent. She knew that she had been abandoned by the Mu family and became the scapegoat of the fourth prince.
However, all the unwillingness and resentment. The moment they saw Li Qingyi, they all transferred to her.
She yelled and wanted to rush towards Li Qingyi, but was unable to do so because her feet were severely injured.
He could only struggle to crawl on the ground a little bit, looking at Li Qingyi with splitting eyes.
Qin Zeng snorted coldly, and the jailer immediately stepped forward, restrained Mu Ying, dragged her to the corner, and tied her hands with chains.
Mu Ying's shouts became more and more crazy, and she kept making hoarse and unpleasant shouts. She bit a jailer on the arm. The jailer was caught off guard, and she bit off a piece of flesh.
Mu Yuanchang pointed at her with trembling hands and said in a hateful voice: "You have sinned so hard now that you are still stubborn!"
Mu Ying's mouth was full of blood. Hearing this, Mu Ying grinned and raised his head and laughed strangely. The sound was weird and terrifying, and everyone present felt numb. Even the fourth prince staggered back several steps.
Only Qin Zeng and Li Qingyi were not moved at all.
Who can blame Mu Ying for ending like this?
The blame lies with her own vicious heart, and the blame lies with the Mu family's cold-heartedness.
Mu Yuanchang seemed to be unable to bear such a situation, and his hands hanging in his sleeves trembled slightly.
He bowed slowly to Qin Zeng and said, "The sinful daughter Mu Ying's evil deeds are unforgivable. Please make your decision."
After everyone heard this, they all turned their attention to Qin Zeng.
Mu Ying also suddenly became quiet and looked at him deeply.
Li Qingyi clearly saw that it was complicated and unspeakable, with a mix of love and hate but also a hint of hope.
However, Qin Zeng's voice was as cold as ice as he said: "Such an evil person! He should be burned at the stake!"
Several people present from the Mu family trembled unconsciously.
They didn't expect Qin Zeng to be so ruthless.
Even Li Qingyi looked up in surprise to see Qin Zeng's expression.
It is inevitable that Mu Ying will be executed, but there are many kinds of death. Although burning is not the most tortured punishment, it is also one of the capital punishments.
When Mu Ying heard this, she screamed extremely loudly. The disbelief and despair in her voice stirred up every part of her body.
She struggled wildly, with an expression as if she wanted to ask everyone present why!
Why should she suffer such an ending!
The fourth prince said solemnly: "Qin Zeng! I hope you will give her a happy life!"
Mu Yuanchang said from the side: "There is nothing wrong with your decision."
He looked at Mu Ying with gloomy eyes, but Li Qingyi felt that the resentment in his eyes should be directed at Qin Zeng.
He said: "Mu Yingxing stopped the evil spirits. It's hard to tell what kind of evil they are. Fire can purify all things in the world. This is the most appropriate way to deal with it."
The fourth prince couldn't stop trembling all over. He suddenly turned his head and stared at Li Qingyi and said, "Are you satisfied?!"
Seeing him like this, Li Qingyi asked: "Are the Fourth Prince satisfied?"
The fourth prince felt as if he was struck by lightning when he heard this. The initiator of all this was none other than himself!
He gritted his teeth and backed away, Mu Ying was taking the blame for him!
To be kind to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself.
Li Qingyi never thought that he should repay kindness with kindness.
How to repay kindness with kindness?
When Mu Ying plotted against her, she should have been prepared to fail and bear the consequences.
If you don't even have this awareness, why not just be a boudoir daughter?
She glanced at the fourth prince who was in pain, and said to Mu Ying with a sneer: "Mu Ying, you can forgive yourself for doing evil, but you can't live for your own evil. Now that things have happened, you should think about how to be reborn into a 'good family' in your next life!" "
The implication is that her relatives are indispensable for her being in such a situation today.
After all, although Li Qingyi suffered some hardships, his life was not in danger.
If it weren't for the "spice" thing, she would have received some punishment at most, and her feet would most likely be healed, so she wouldn't end up like this.
The blame was on the Mu family for being unkind and treating her like an abandoned child.
Of course, whether Li Qingyi wanted her to live and suffer, or to die happily is another question.
Mu Yuanchang knew that Li Qingyi had something to say, but he couldn't lower himself to the level of a yellow-haired girl and didn't even look at her.
The fourth prince had no face to tell. For a moment, there was only Mu Ying's desperate roar.
Seeing this, Qin Zeng said: "Three days later, the execution will be carried out in the market at three quarters of noon!"
The execution was carried out in the market, that is, the execution was carried out at the market entrance where the people were the densest in the city.
It was nothing more than exposing Mu Ying's crimes to the world and giving the people an explanation.
Mu Yuanchang's face was full of shame when he heard this, and he bowed and said, "Yes..."
Li Qingyi took a deep look at the fourth prince and followed Qin Zeng to leave first.
The two got on the carriage and walked slowly through the city filled with the fragrance of flowers.
The flowers and trees in the houses on both sides of the street were showing new pistils, and Li Qingyi's eyes and brows revealed some unexplained complexity.
Revenge is a double-edged sword. He can cut his enemies with his hands, but he can also open his own wounds.
It was so bloody that it was unbearable to see.
The occasional brightness coming through the car window made her vision blur for a while.
She subconsciously used her hands to block it, and then she saw Qin Zeng's eyes like a clear breeze and bright moon cast towards her, with a face that was not stained by the world, with soft light and shadow, and a suppressed helplessness in his eyebrows.
Li Qingyi finally pulled himself out of the unresponsive emotion and laughed dryly: "What do you want to say, sir?"
