Chapter 687 - The secret Alliances II (1/2)
”Not according to Sanguan Family, in fact, they had been searched this sword for generations, for decades it's become an empty dream for them until they met the Qin family”
”Qin family was originally the merchant family, some of them become a scholar and worked as official. Although they are quite well known, they cannot hold the candle for the Sanguan family, why Sanguan family want to hurt them, wasn't sanguan Jin Sheng head over heel for Qin Mu Yi, but...” Princess Youya pinched her chin as she muttered to herself.
”Calm down your highness” Lory poured a cup of tea for Princess Youya ”Think about it thoroughly…” she shoved the teacup gently in front of Princess Youya.
Princess Youya's eyes fixed on the tea surface but her mind immersed in her thought then suddenly she raised her head ”The Qin family know about the ancient sword?” she gasped.
Lory broaden her smiles ”More than that, they are the last connection of Emperor Lei Yu”
”You mean Qin family was the descendant of King Lei Yu!” Princess Youya got up from her chair, she becomes so excited Lory thought she wanted to jump over the table.
”We….still not know for sure, perhaps they knew something about King Lei Yu and his ancient sword, however, one thing that I'm sure of that the rumor about the Qin Mu Yi affair and everything was fabricated by Sanguan Jin Sheng and sanguan Liu Wen” Lory expression deepens while princess Youya faces losing her color, she was speechless.
”So, my question is….would you believe a man who able killed his wife and her entire family just for a sword?”
It feel like someone s.u.c.k.e.d the air from her lungs Princess Youya suddenly felt she couldn't breathe. How could she don't know Sanguan Jin sheng's character, because their grandmother was biological sisters she had many opportunities to visit the Sanguan Manor. Since she was a child she already could discern the cruelty hide behind Sanguan Jin Sheng gentleman façade, she always felt uncomfortable and restless whenever she met Sanguan Jin Sheng, she never knows if her intuition is right or not until her older brother the crown Prince told her that he also felt the same.
The crown Prince told his uneasiness to have someone like Sanguan Jin sheng as his close subordinate, because of that he never takes any women from the sanguan family to be his rightful wife, because he afraid with sanguan Jin sheng power would reach his chamber.
”Do you have any proof to support your claimed, you know is a very heavy allegation from you?” she needs concrete proof if she wanted to bring this matter to the Crown prince.
”Sure” Lory nodded, she then waves her hands.
Ling Zi then promptly walk towards her ”Do you need anything madam?” she bowed her head,
”Tell Mong Yi, I need everything about Sanguan Jin Sheng right now” she gives a direct order.
”Oh, yes – right away young madam!” Ling Zi swiftly runs towards the building to find Mong Yi. A lot of reports were stored inside the study room so it didn't take long for Mong Yi to gather the report, then he gives the report to Lory personally.
Mong Yi handed a pile of papers to Lory ”Here it is, young madam, there still other report but it's in Milord possession”
”It's okay it's enough” Lory nodded in satisfied.
Princess Youya's face turn ashen, so much proof has been gathered in a short time. The crown prince was also tried to dig Sanguan Jin Sheng dirt in the past but because Sanguan Jin sheng is very cautious and the crown prince didn't want to alert him so what she got was only hearsay without actual proof.
She peeks at Mong Yi's countenance, she wondered how strong Long Ming subordinated truly is to able to gather this much evidence. Princess Youya amazed and afraid at the same time, because she realizes that the Hei Shen sect was much stronger than the rumor said, and she doesn't want to provoke this kind of power.
”This is the proof that sanguan jin sheng has used Dong Chen auction house to search the piece of the old map to find the ancient sword, there also written report from Sanguan Jin sheng subordinated about where they found the map” one by one Lory lay down the paper on the table while Princess Youya looks like she would faint.
”And this is the written statement from the former maid who used to serve Qin Mu Yi when she was still Sanguan Jinsheng wife, she testified about Qin Mu Yi innocence and what happened that day after the Qin family slaughtered, actually this is new information for us as well, but with this testimony, we could figure it out what really happened that day”
Princess Youya's hand's trembles when she read to content on the paper, she cover her mouth while her eyes trace every letter on the paper in horror, he cannot believe that someone could be so cruel, she thought the imperial family was cruel but compare to Sanguan Jin Sheng they are paled in comparison.
She put down the paper and let out a long sigh ”I need wine…” she said.
”I know you do,” Lory cannot be more agree, she waved her hand again.
After reading two more horrendous reports and three cups of wine, Princess Youya finally able to calm herself. She looked at Lory with an amazed expression ”I don't know how you made them willing to testify?”
