Chapter 22
Ling Yu thought it was worth two hundred taels, but she didn't know the goods!
Xiao Lintian remembered that in the past, when his mother-in-law was deeply favored by the emperor, Emperor Wu'an also rewarded her with a pair of earrings made by Lian Ming.
The first time Xiao Lintian got to know Lian Ming was when his mother explained the origin of the earrings to him.
"Ling Yu, keep talking!"
Qiu Hao looked at the hairpin in astonishment and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, is this hairpin really worth two hundred taels?"
Xiao Lintian nodded slightly.
Qiu Hao glared at Ling Ping fiercely. Even though Ling Ping was kneeling, she was so frightened that her whole body became weak!
Oops! I really can’t explain it now!
But she rolled her eyes and thought to herself, if you can't explain it, you have to carry it to death!
Anyway, Qiu Hao and Qiu Wenshuang are on his side, and they will protect him!
Lingping insisted: "I don't know how much it's worth! I dare to swear to God that this is really a reward from the princess!"
Ling Yu laughed when she saw that she was still tough at this point.
"God is very busy and can't care about you!"
"You need to change your habit of swearing at every turn. If you talk too much, you're really insincere!"
Ling Yu blessed Xiao Lintian slightly and said, "Since the prince asked me to say it, then I will say it!"
"Lingping saw that I was being beaten by the prince and knew that I had no status in the prince's palace! So she stole all the jewelry and silver I had with me, and this hairpin was one of them!"
Ling Yu remembered that Aunt Li had complained to her about this, so she wanted to take the opportunity to get her jewelry and silver back.
"If the prince sends someone to search her room now, other jewelry will be found!"
"My jewelry and dowry list are all recorded. Once you check them, you will know who is lying!"
Xiao Lintian took a deep look at Ling Yu and shouted: "Go and check!"
"I'm going to investigate right now!" Qiu Hao took the order.
"Slow down!" Ling Yu saw that it was Qiu Hao again and was afraid that he might be doing something secretly, so he said directly: "I still believe that Lu Nan is going!"
When Lu Nan heard his name, he looked at Xiao Lintian uneasily.
The princess asked him to help twice. He was afraid that Xiao Lintian would misunderstand that he had been bribed by the princess!
Qiu Hao became anxious and glared at Ling Yu: "Princess, do you suspect that your subordinates will steal your jewelry?"
"My lord... I have been following you for such a long time. To be fair, is this the kind of person I am?"
"Ling Yu, don't go too far!" Xiao Lintian glared at Ling Yu and scolded.
Ling Yu sneered: "Is this how the prince's justice is? It's better not to give it! Otherwise, there will be something extra that shouldn't be there, and I won't be able to explain it!"
Xiao Lintian was so angry that Ling Yu clenched her hands!
Why didn't I realize that this woman was so sharp-tongued before?
"Princess! If you slander this subordinate again, I will not be polite!"
Qiu Hao was also so angry that he was shaking all over. Time and time again, Ling Yu suspected that he could do anything in front of so many people!
What kind of suspicion this would arouse among the guards!
Three people become tigers. If you say this too often, can Xiao Lintian still trust him like he does now?
"Princess, you slander my brother like this again and again! Do you really want to drive us away?"
Qiu Wenshuang had been here for a long time and was standing outside listening.
Hearing this, he could no longer bear it and walked in with a few maids.
With tears in her eyes, she said aggrievedly: "Princess, I have always respected you! But you always have unreasonable suspicions about my relationship with the prince!"
"If you want to drive us away, just say so! Why keep slandering us with insinuations like this!"
"Brother, since the princess can't tolerate us, why don't we leave!"
She went to pull Qiu Hao and winked at Qiu Hao.
Qiu Hao understood and immediately knelt down on one knee to plead guilty to Xiao Lintian.
"My lord, forgive me! I don't want to affect the relationship between you and the princess! I'd better leave!"
"Take care, Your Majesty! I forgive my subordinates for not being able to continue serving in front of Your Majesty!"
Before Xiao Lintian could answer, he stood up and pulled Qiu Wenshuang, and they turned and left.
Ling Yu was speechless. This move was so good at turning retreat into advance!
Doesn't this make Xiao Lintian hate himself even more?
He was jealous and drove away his savior!
She looked at Xiao Lintian, and sure enough she saw Xiao Lintian's eyes filled with coldness, staring at her with a warning look.
Although Ling Yu was used to it, this look still chilled her.
Xiao Lintian once again sided with the Qiu Hao brothers and sisters!
"Ling Yu, apologize to Qiu Hao!" Xiao Lintian ordered ruthlessly.
"What if I don't?"
Ling Yu looked at him provocatively. She was wrong. She just wanted someone else to investigate!
Is this too much?
