For a moment, Songmao Hall was filled with crying and howling. When the situation was at a stalemate, Lin Song walked in.
"Old Master, Liu Jie is here and wants to see you."
Lin Song's words were spoken in a normal tone, but it was like thunder in the ears of everyone in the Liu family, and the original crying and howling suddenly stopped.
Especially Mrs. Liu, whose figure was frozen, with tears of grievance still hanging on her face. At this moment, her face had turned into panic, and the handkerchief she held up to wipe her tears was frozen at the corner of her mouth.
Lin Yanqing relaxed her frown and said coldly: "You're here just in time, bring him in."
Lin Song stepped back and took Liu Jie back to the hall after a while.
When Liu Jie entered the hall and saw everyone in the Liu family, he felt that his calf muscles were spinning: Why did he collide with the Liu family? This is too much.
Liu Jie didn't dare to look any further. He quickly walked forward and knelt down with his head lowered.
"Young man Liu Jie, please pay your respects to the Grand Tutor."
Mrs. Liu was the first to react, pointing at Liu Jie and scolding him.
"Well, Liu Jie, you dare to come back! I trust you so much, but you actually embezzled so much silver behind my back! You trapped me in such an unjust place! What did you use the silver for? But you gave it away To protect your noble man?”
Liu Jie's original guilty conscience when facing the Liu family disappeared after hearing Liu's excusing words.
What a sinister woman, in order to clean herself up, she even arranged the whereabouts of the money, and wanted to blame it all on him, Liu Jie. If the Liu family could keep him in the past, he would have accepted it. But now the Liu family is in trouble, and they still want him to take the blame, but there is no way.
"Master, I'm wronged! It's true that I took advantage of the silver in the shop, but it was also under the instruction of the Second Madam. The nobles who protected the villain and let me hide in the inn were also the Second Madam and the eldest lady of the Liu family. Mrs. Chen, my natal family, if you don’t believe me, you can send someone to the Fulai Inn in the south of the city. A few days ago, the second lady sent her confidant Liu Wu to the inn to tell me not to go out, and she also paid me a month’s hotel fee.”
Lin Yanqing looked at Mrs. Liu and said in a cold voice: "What else do you have to say?"
Liu Jie's words shocked Mrs. Liu and she was panicked: "Daughter-in-law... daughter-in-law... no..."
Lin Yanqing: "Whether you want to talk here or go to the Jingzhao Yamen is up to you. If you ask who will be the guarantee, you will know. If Jingzhao Yin is confused by the old feelings and refuses to talk, I am not afraid of making the family scandal public. In the worst case, I will report it to the emperor. I believe His Majesty can always ask."
Upon hearing this, Shilang Liu and his wife hurriedly stood up to persuade them. The list of officials bought by Shen Yunda had just been submitted. At this time, if something happened to the Liu family, it was really difficult to protect the gods.
"Why bother with my in-laws? It's all family matters and we can just ask them at home. Why should we make His Majesty worry?"
"Yes, old lady, if we really make trouble in front of the palace, how will Siran and Yun'er go out to meet people in the future?"
The old lady had a sullen face: "There is no need to dissuade us. If your daughter was willing to tell the truth, where would she be today?"
Seeing that the old couple were determined, Liu Shilang quickly turned around and lectured Mr. Liu.
"Yunxiang, why don't you tell the truth? You have done a lot of dirty things because of your soft-heartedness since you were a child, and now you are doing this to deceive your parents-in-law because of your tribe! If you don't tell the truth, the whole family will be implicated. !”
Mrs. Liu looked up and saw the look in Liu Shilang's eyes and understood.
"My daughter-in-law is guilty. Although she knew Liu Jie was at fault, she couldn't bear to see her clan members in trouble and felt compassion. She went back to her parents' home and begged her sister-in-law to ask Mr. Chen to bail out Liu Jie and place him in an inn."
