Leng Ming hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:
"I had a quarrel with you last time in the military camp. I wanted to find a chance to get back together with you, so I thought of tricking the three children into the mountains and then rescuing them, so that you wouldn't You would be angry with me, but I didn’t expect..."
He deliberately did not mention Leng Xi. Although Leng Xi gave him the idea, he did not want to put his own guilt on Leng Xi. What's more, if he said that this matter was related to Leng Xi, then the four Brother will doubt himself even more.
"What did you say?"
Leng Yu's anger reached its peak at this time. He suddenly grabbed Leng Ming's collar and lifted him up. He stared at his teeth tightly with his eyes and said in a hateful voice through gritted teeth:
"You said you tricked them into going to the mountain? How did you trick them?"
"I...I told them that on Ghost Festival, as long as they go to the graves of their deceased relatives, they can meet them..."
"mean……"
Leng Yu threw Leng Ming away with all his strength. Looking at him who staggered and almost fell, he roared hysterically:
"Leng Yu, you deserve to die!"
Leng Ming shook his head vigorously.
"It's not like this, Fourth Brother, and I don't want to do this. I regretted it later. I didn't dare to mention it again. I didn't know they would go to the mountain..."
But Leng Yu couldn't listen to his explanation at this time. The daughter he had raised for seven years was lost without a trace by the brother in front of him. How could he not be angry?
He stepped forward again and lifted up Leng Ming's collar. His eyes were as wide as bells, and his voice became extremely heavy.
"Leng Ming, remember what I, Leng Yu, said today. If An An cannot return to Prince Yu's palace safely, I will be the first to kill you."
After leaving these cruel words, he threw Leng Ming to the ground with a strong shake, turned around and walked towards the gate.
Leng Ming was stunned and explained to himself,
"I didn't know that something would happen to An An, and I didn't know that what I said casually would cause the three children to go to the mountains at night. I didn't want to harm An An. She was lost, and I was very anxious..."
But no one could hear his explanation except the air here, and Leng Yu had already gone far.
He suddenly thought of Leng Xi. This idea came from Leng Xi. Would Leng Xi also know the whereabouts of the three children first?
Thinking of this, he stood up angrily and rushed towards the door.
…
Leng Yu walked out of Prince Ming's Mansion angrily. Xiao Lingzi, who didn't know why, asked as he walked,
"My lord, what happened? What did he say?"
"He said that he was trying to trick three children into going up the mountain and then rescuing them, so that he could take credit from me and let me entrust him with important tasks. But he didn't expect that something would happen to An An. Isn't he too hateful? I I wish I could kill him with a knife."
With these cruel words behind him, Leng Yu got on his horse and drove away, leaving only dust on the ground.
Xiao Lingzi also felt that Prince Ming had gone too far this time, tricking three children into going up the mountain. This was really hateful. After secretly despising Prince Ming, he quickly got on his horse and chased his master.
As soon as the two of them left the house, Leng Ming walked out of the house.
He has not been to Prince Xi's Mansion in the past few days. Today Leng Yu came to question him, and he thought that he should go to Prince Xi's Mansion to ask if Leng Xi knew about this.
"Come here, prepare your horses."
His shouts made the servants tremble in shock, and they hurriedly went to the stables to fetch his horses.
At this time, Leng Xi was sitting in his study in a daze. He had been feeling uneasy since he handed An An over to the couple.
After returning home, the image of An An asking him for help kept appearing in his mind. She shouted to her uncle over and over again to save her, but he ruthlessly threw her there.
He closed his eyes slightly and smiled bitterly to himself, how could he bear to leave such a cute little girl with a stranger? He is such a cruel person.
"Your Majesty, Prince Ming is here."
When the housekeeper came to report, Leng Xi's brows suddenly knitted into a knot. He waved his hand.
"Let him in."
The housekeeper stepped back in response. After a while, Leng Ming came in a hurry. As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't wait to ask:
"An'an was lost, was it you?"
This question made Leng Xi feel nervous. Could it be that Leng Ming knew something?
He looked at him pretending to be calm,
"What do you mean?"
Leng Ming found a chair and sat down, pounded the table angrily, and asked angrily,
"Did you get there before everyone else and take An An away?"
Leng Xi could tell from his words that this was just his guess and he didn't know what was going on.
So, he snorted and sneered disdainfully:
"You came to me to accuse me based on your guess? Don't you think you are a little too reckless? Why should I take a child away? Why should I attack a child? Besides, I only told you to find a way I asked the three children to run away from home. I didn't tell them to go to the Xishan Grove. How could I possibly know where they were? You can use your brain when something happens, okay?"
Listening to Leng Xi's words, Leng Ming froze on the spot.
Yes, although this idea came from Leng Xi, he did not specify that the three children should go to the woods west of the city.
It seems that I was really impulsive and wrongly blamed him.
Thinking of this, he lowered his voice and said sadly:
"Then where can An An go? Ten days have passed. Will he be eaten by wild beasts in the mountains?"
"It's very possible that a six- or seven-year-old girl was lost in a place like that for ten days. In my opinion, it's more serious than good."
"No, it won't happen. If that happens, I will never feel at ease in my life."
"This is none of your business, and you don't know about it. Besides, there are three children in Prince Yu's palace. It's nothing to lose one."
Leng Ming stared at Leng Xi and suddenly snorted coldly,
"As expected of Prince Xi, you can say this. No wonder Sister-in-law Five left with Xiaobao. People like you should live alone..."
After leaving these harsh words, Leng Ming stood up angrily, took long steps, and walked outside.
Looking at his back, Leng Xi felt sad in his heart.
He opened the drawer, took out the Pisces jade pendant, and suddenly taunted secretly:
"Leng Xi, you are a bad person from the bottom of your heart. You even harmed that innocent little girl. You deserve to die. You deserve to die alone. You deserve to have Xiao Min leave you."
At this point, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't tell why.
…
Wu Tianwang's operation went smoothly. After Luo Lan moved him out of the operating room, he gave some instructions and asked Lao Wu to drive her carriage and take him home with Lao Wu Niang.
Because the child was seriously ill, Leng Yu ordered Lao Wu to write down the twenty pieces of information and allow him to send the child home first.
Watching the mother and son leave, Luo Lan sighed, turned around and said to Ah Hong:
"Go buy some rice and flour supplements and send them to them."
"Yes, Princess."
"By the way, Old Wu just lost his job and lost his money. He left another ten taels of silver for them and told him to give the child more nutritious food. The child will not be short of food."
"Princess, you are truly kind."
"Don't say any more, just go."
Luo Lan didn't want to hear other people's praise for her, because she suddenly felt weak all over, her head was a little dizzy, her vision was blurry, and she fell down involuntarily...
