Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 462 Night trial?

"I, I'm actually no longer a member of the Jia family! Miss Shi...it was the young lady of the Huaiyuan Marquis's mansion who asked me to leave the Jia Mansion. I should belong to Miss Shi!"

Xiren was a little flustered and subconsciously distanced herself from the matter.

Baoyu looked at her steadily, and suddenly nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Yuhan was the most sensitive, and when she saw this, she understood, smiled gently, and urged Baoyu: "Second Master, go first, don't let your family worry about you."

Baoyu looked at Jiang Yuhan again, and was touched. He hummed and stepped forward to hold his hand: "Take care of yourself too. If you get into trouble, don't just keep silent and handle it yourself."

Jiang Yuhan laughed: "Okay. I'll listen to you, Master."

Baoyu then bowed again, performed a polite greeting, and walked away quickly.

Xiren watched him walk away without paying any attention, and thought back to what she had just said. The fear of being abandoned surged into her heart again. She couldn't help but hold her hand and cried bitterly.

Seeing that her manners and etiquette were still those of the Duke's Mansion, Jiang Yuhan was so elegant that she was many times more graceful than an ordinary woman. She thought of the pine green handkerchief around her waist again, and her heart was moved.

He dropped his eyes and said nothing.

She was surrounded by guards and rough men in the army. If she made the slightest mistake, her reputation would be ruined.

There can be no rush.

Don't rush...

A group of soldiers rushed up and wanted to take them away to write a formal confession.

Xiren screamed in fear.

Jiang Yuhan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to block the soldiers, smiling gently: "Since you are a witness involved in the case, do you want to go to the Dali Temple?"

The soldiers knew the importance of these two people. Seeing his behavior, they gave him face, stepped back half a step, and replied politely: "That's right."

"Sir, should we trouble you to take us there, or should you point a way and we can just go there by ourselves?" Jiang Yuhan looked innocent.

The soldiers all laughed: "Go by yourself? Do you want to be silenced? Come on! We have orders to take you there!"

Jiang Yuhan immediately expressed his gratitude again, vaguely protecting the trembling Xiren, and rushed to the Dali Temple.

Shoukang Palace, East Side Hall.

After listening to Shi Xiangyun's detailed account, Daiyu personally served her a cup of tea and praised her with a smile, "You have really made progress.

"It can be seen that the wife of Marquis Huaiyuan is good at managing people. She can teach your straightforward and naive character to be a little more sophisticated.

"Tomorrow, continue to study hard with your mother-in-law, and the Huaiyuan Marquis's Mansion will have a successor."

Shi Xiangyun had no intention of listening to her at this moment. She threw her handkerchief at her with a cry and asked anxiously:

"Is this evidence enough to convict Prince Chung-shun? Should we inform His Majesty and His Majesty? Is your gold medal enough to arrest him?

"And Sister Xue... Although she was calculating, it seems that she had little to do with the old lady's poisoning. After all, we grew up together for so many years, I think..."

Lin Daiyu interrupted her with a smile: "You can't think of anything. After the message has been delivered, you should go back."

Shi Xiangyun opened her mouth, but realized that it was inappropriate, so she closed it again.

"This is a matter of state. I am only qualified to listen, and I have no right to decide. You go back. I will invite a few princes to discuss the matter."

Lin Daiyu still smiled and stood up.

This is what it means to see someone off.

Shi Xiangyun knew that she was being reckless, her face flushed, and she felt very embarrassed. She quickly stood up and stopped her, saying:

"Just do your thing! I don't need you to send me back! I can go back by myself!"

Daiyu laughed softly.

Still the same silly and simple Xiangyun.

"Oh, by the way, what was the name of the aide left behind by Prince Zhongshun?" Daiyu pretended to have forgotten.

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly said, "Xu E, courtesy name Jiqing. His father is a minor official in the Ministry of Revenue, named Xu He!"

Lin Daiyu smiled and nodded: "Okay. I'll remember it."

He turned around and ordered, "Xiaohong, please send it off for me."

Xiaohong understood, walked up to Shi Xiangyun and asked her to go out with a smile.

There was a small carriage parked outside the gate of Shoukang Palace.

Xiangyun held Xiaohong's hand tightly and kept chattering anxiously: "I was just talking nonsense, I didn't mean anything else!

"Explain this to Sister Lin for me! I will never embarrass Sister Lin for that person!

"——Then I am still a human being? Sister Lin treats me so well!"

When Xiaohong heard this, she smiled sincerely, helped her into the carriage, and comforted her:

"If the princess did not trust Madam Shi's character, she would not have entrusted such an important matter to you.

“Don’t worry, the princess understands, she won’t care.

"Just pretend that nothing like this happened and live your life peacefully."

Shi Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stroked her chest and said, "I know the rules, and I will keep my mouth shut!"

Only then did he sit in the car and leave the palace.

In Shoukang Palace.

Zhitong also brought in a message: Jiang Yuhan and Xiren were temporarily detained in the Dali Temple for protective custody as important witnesses.

Xiren lived next door to Aunt Xue, and Jiang Yuhan lived next door to Jia Yucun.

When Xue and Jia saw the man, they were so frightened that they froze.

Prince Dong, Prince Dun and Feng Tang listened to the whole story and the arrangements made by the Dali Temple, and they all smiled with relief.

"According to your estimation, how long can the Xue family hold out?" Prince Dun asked politely.

Lin Daiyu smiled and shook her head, "How can Prince Zhongshun be a fool? The unusual movement at the back door cannot be hidden from him.

"No matter how calm Xue is, he will be forced to make a quick decision."

She raised her hand, pointed her index finger out the window at the sun that was beginning to turn yellow and red, "Before dark, she will definitely ask to see Marquis Huaiyuan again."

"Then..." Feng Tang looked at her hesitantly, "Should we let the divine monk interrogate the female prisoner in the middle of the night?"

Lin Daiyu laughed: "Why do we need to interrogate him?"

The Eastern King also sighed, stroked his beard with a melancholy smile, and said leisurely: "When the mother and daughter get together, they naturally tell everything.

"Just find a female clerk to record everything next door."

Feng Tang didn't believe it: "What if they didn't say anything, or their voices were very low?"

The King of the East looks at Lin Daiyu.

Prince Dun also looked at Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu thought for a moment, then smiled and said slowly, "I'll just go there."

The three men shouted at the same time: "No!"

"If the divine monk couldn't even defeat a hypocrite like Wang Ziteng, how could he possibly fight against a few women who were entangled with each other?"

Daiyu's gaze shifted away from the three men's faces and turned to a purple jade ruyi that was respectfully placed on an ebony stand in a compartment in the treasure pavilion against the wall.

That was given to her by Queen Wan when she just "came back".

Also accompanying it was a Kunning Palace token with her name engraved on it.

Daiyu had arranged to return the token to Queen Wan as soon as she entered the Taiji Palace, but the purple jade ruyi was difficult to return, so it had to stay here.

Now, it seems to be just right.

"Don't worry. I have a magic weapon to protect myself. It's enough to scare a few ladies from outside the family."
