Chapter 192: You can't be the Grand Preceptor's ithout being cruel
Ning Xiaoyao spread her hands at Grand Preceptor Xie with a grin ”What should we do next?”
Grand Preceptor Xie couldn'tXiaoyao continued, ”You can't forceat it once is enough, it'll be too naughty if you try it again”
While the people in the courtyard stood in silence, they stole syht not be as shameless as Supre the blame on the victiainst opponents like them?
Grand Preceptor Xie was still thinking of his next line, so he didn't speak Elder Li said, ”What Your Majesty means to say is that Xie Wenyuan forced his wife to commit suicide so he could falsely accuse Your Majesty of a criainst your family?”
”That's right,” Ning Xiaoyao said loudly ”That's exactly his motive!”
Now Grand Preceptor Xie spoke up, ”Coroner, was Lady wang really unconscious just then, or just faking it?”
The old coroner didn't dare to lie and said, ”Her ladyshi+p really was unconscious”
Grand Preceptor Xie chuckled coldly ”So that's how it is”
Now Ning Xiaoyao was feeling at a loss ”Hold it, why are you saying 'so that's how it is' now?”
”Your Majesty had been keeping this subject fro's death the entire time,” Grand Preceptor Xie said
So what you're saying is that I knocked Lady wang unconscious, thusyou think she died In other words, it's stillXiaoyao had to adht She could actually understand what Grand Preceptor Xie meant this time!
”You,” Ning Xiaoyao looked at Grand Preceptor Xie Noas her turn to be speechless
”Née wang and this subject have been husband and wife since our youth She's also this subject's first wife, so ould I have a reason to hurt her?” Grand Preceptor Xie said those words for the benefit of Ning Xiaoyao and everyone else present There was no one who had a reason to hurt Lady wang besides Ning Xiaoyao herself
Ning Xiaoyao began to debate the ui then said, ”I believe we can understand her ladyshi+p's pains”
Grand Preceptor Xie looked up towards Lou Zigui, whose expression remained unruffled In fact, he then leisurely continued, ”Her ladyshi+p really did commit suicide…”
”Whaa?” Ning Xiaoyao exclai co to enemy? (TOT)
Lou Zigui squeezed Ning Xiaoyao's hand so she wouldn't get antsy, then continued ”Her ladyshi+p did it for the Xie Clan After all, the reputation of the Xie Clan daughters would've been ruined otherwise”
”What do you s happened in this courtyard today
Lou Zigui didn't give Grand Preceptor Xie any chance to explain before outlining the private resenthters His explanation was clearer andXiaoyao's Elder Li and the rest all looked towards the rogue on the ground, as still trussed up like a pig A Dragon Guard was stepping on his back to keep hiround In the silent courtyard, nobody said a thing
Bribing an outsider to ruin one's sister's purity? It is absolutely appalling!
As tian to feel aard Why isn't anyone saying a thing? Isn't so so terrible?
(Author: That's because they're too shocked to speak, you know?)
”Grand Preceptor, conduct yourself well,” Lou Zigui tossed off a rejoinder before preparing to take Ning Xiaoyao away Now that they'd accooal, he couldn't think of any more reasons why they should stick around
”Nothing of the sort happened!” Lady wang suddenly shouted out loud
”Then have the justice courts do a thorough investigation of the criui retorted coldly
Currently, the entirety of the justice court's led up in this mess? Even if we prove the ladies' innocence, the fact that we've gotten involved with a family's inner courts will completely ruin them How could any literati family afford such a scandal?
Lady wang crawled to her feet and knelt in front of Ning Xiaoyao as she sobbed ”Your Majesty, eldest young Miss and the rest are still young They're only girls of the boudoir, this wife begs Your Majesty to spare them!”
Ning Xiaoyao had darted behind Lou Zigui again She hated it when people kneeled to her
”Hoh~” Elder Li laughed coldly ”Why didn't your Xie Clan remember that His Majesty is still a Son of Heaven who hasn't corandmother to suicide? If her ladyshi+p had really died and this old ed the Grand Preceptor to spare His Majesty, would the Grand Preceptor be willing?”
Lady wang was rendered speechless by Elder Li's words
”T-then what about all the blood on Lady wang's body?” one of the wolanced at her and saw a lady dressed in rich robes Anyone who spoke up noas probably the hters
”Shut up!” Grand Preceptor Xie raged
Lou Zigui furrowed his brows and said, ”Did anyone else die at the estate besides Old Madame Xie?”
”Xie Anshi+?” Ning Xiaoyao suggested
”He's not dead!” Lady wang shrieked
The Lord Protector couldn't help but think that the Grand Preceptor and Lady wang would only lose their er
”Then go investigate,” Elder Li decreed
