The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 84 Revealing the conspiracy

Yunxi is wearing a light blue long skirt today. Although the skirt is plain in color, it looks neat on her.

She strode into the hall of the Marquisate with great strides. Everyone in the hall was so tense that they dared not breathe a word, as if the atmosphere was about to explode.

The prince sat steadily in the main seat, his face tense and his eyes fixed on Yunxi's figure.

Yunxi nodded slightly to the prince, meaning that everything was arranged.

"Bring the man up!" Yunxi shouted at the top of her voice, and saw several strong guards escorting a shifty-looking guy into the lobby.

This man was none other than Liu San, the confidant of the enemy. He hung his head and his body was shaking like a sieve.

Yunxi's eyes widened, staring at Liu San intently, and he shouted, "Liu San, do you admit your guilt?"

Liu San trembled, his lips quivering: "I...I don't know."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi took a step forward, almost poking Liu San's nose with her finger: "Hey! You are such a fool, you still dare to be stubborn at this critical moment!"

Liu San shuddered with fear and shrank his neck back.

Yunxi put her hands on her hips and glared at us: "Do you think we are all fools? You really think no one knows about the bad things you and your enemy have been doing in secret?"

Liu San knelt on the ground with a plop, crying, "Miss, spare my life!"

Yunxi snorted coldly, "At this point, you still want to deny it? You and your enemy secretly plotted to frame the Marquis' Mansion, and you thought you could hide it from the world?"

Liu San's legs softened and he fell to his knees with a thud: "Madam, please spare me, Madam, please spare me!"

Yunxi snorted coldly, took a step forward, folded his arms across his chest, stared down at Liu San, and said sternly, "Tell me, tell me everything about your conspiracy!"

Liu San raised his head tremblingly, glanced at Yunxi, and quickly lowered his head again. His voice was trembling like sieve chaff: "It was...it was Patriarch Li who ordered me to do this. He holds a grudge against the Marquis' Mansion and wants to use this opportunity to suppress it."

At this moment, the servants in the Marquis' Mansion could not help but whisper to each other and chatter. "This Master Li is going too far!"

"That's right, our Marquis Mansion didn't provoke him!"

"Quiet!" the prince slammed the table and shouted. The sound was like thunder, and the hall was instantly silent. The servants all shrank their necks, not daring to breathe.

Yunxi stared at Liu San and continued to ask, "Then how did you plan this?"

Liu San's entire body was shaking even more violently, his head almost touching the ground. His voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, "Master Li first bribed a few servants in the Marquis' Mansion to spread rumors, and then arranged for people to tamper with the Marquis' Mansion's business and create trouble."

Yunxi turned to look at the prince, a questioning look in her eyes: "Prince, does this matter align with what we have previously investigated?"

The prince nodded slightly, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it: "Indeed."

Yunxi turned her gaze towards Liu San again and raised her voice: "Anything else?"

Liu San bit his lip and hesitated for a moment, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. "And... and Patriarch Li bribed an official in the court and is planning to report the Marquisate to the Emperor."

When Yunxi heard this, she was so angry that her eyebrows raised and her eyes widened: "What a sinister plan!"

Liu San prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, "Madam, please spare my life. I was forced to do this because the head of the Li family threatened me. If I didn't obey him, my whole family would be in danger!"

Yunxi shouted angrily, "You coward! You're doing something so evil just to save your own life! Do you have any conscience?"

Liu San cried bitterly, "Madam, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please have mercy on me, Madam!"

Yunxi remained unmoved and said coldly, "You've committed such a serious mistake, and you still expect me to forgive you so easily?"

At this time, the prince beside him stood up, walked up to Liu San, and said in a deep voice: "If you can tell me the rest of the conspiracy of the Li family master, I may consider sparing your life."

Liu San seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I will tell you everything, everything!

Patriarch Li also plans to send people to cause trouble around the Marquis's residence, making it restless, and...he also wants to poison the water source in the Marquis's residence to make everyone sick."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi was furious: "This Patriarch Li is simply insane!"

Liu San added tremblingly, "Master Li also said that after the matter is completed, he will give me a large sum of money and let me go far away."

Yunxi glared at him fiercely: "For this little money, you sold your conscience and aided the tyrant!"

Liu San kept knocking his head: "I am so confused, so confused!"

At this moment, the Li family master was brought in by the guards. The Li family master was fat, with a face full of flesh, but at this moment his face was pale.

"Li Fugui, what else do you have to say?" Yunxi shouted.

The head of the Li family was fat and had big ears. His face was trembling with flesh. His eyes were rolling around. He pretended to be calm and shouted, "Yunxi, don't slander me. This is all a false accusation!"

Yunxi folded her arms over her chest and sneered contemptuously, "False accusation? Liu San's testimony is here, and you still want to quibble?"

Patriarch Li glared at Liu San fiercely, his eyes looking as if he could eat people, and cursed with gnashing teeth, "You traitor!"

Liu San was already terrified, and after hearing his scolding, he shrank his neck even more, almost curling up into a ball. He trembled and said, "Master, I... I have no choice."

Yunxi took a step forward, looked directly at the Li family head, and said, "Li Fugui, you are jealous of the status of the Marquis' Mansion. You resorted to such despicable means. Do you think you can succeed?"

Patriarch Li stiffened his neck and said stubbornly, "Humph, even if I did it, what can I do?"

When the prince heard this, he was furious. He slammed the table with a loud bang, and the table shook three times. He shouted, "How dare you!

How dare you be so arrogant! " This shout frightened the Li family head so much that he trembled and almost collapsed to the ground.

Yunxi looked around with a determined gaze and said loudly, "Everyone, everyone saw what happened today.

The Marquis' Mansion has never done anything wrong to anyone, yet we have been framed like this. Our Mansion has always been upright and honest, always helping our neighbors and never having any grudges against anyone.

But this Master Li can't stand to see our Marquisate doing well. He has a vicious mind and uses all kinds of insidious tricks. He bribes servants to spread rumors, tamper with business, and even wants to poison the water source. Every one of these things is trying to push the Marquisate into a dead end.

Can we agree to this?"

The servants were all excited, shaking their heads and shouting, "We can't agree to this! We can't agree to this!"

Yunxi continued, "Now that the conspiracy has been exposed, we must make sure this villain receives the punishment he deserves!

Our Marquis Mansion is not to be bullied. We must not let this evildoer go unpunished!"

At this moment, an official from the court came hurriedly. It turned out to be Lord Zhao, whom the prince had invited in advance.

Lord Zhao trotted all the way, panting. When he arrived, he quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Madam, I have come here by order."

The prince said, "Master Zhao, you are now clear about this matter. How should we deal with it?"

Lord Zhao said sternly, "According to the law, this crime of framing the Marquis's Mansion must be severely punished!"

The head of the Li family collapsed to the ground with a plop. His whole body was like a pile of mud, his face was ashen, and he was still muttering: "It's over, it's over, it's all over!"

The fat man's big ears were covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, which kept running down his cheeks. His eyes, which were already pitifully small, were now wide open in fear.

Yunxi folded her hands over her chest, tilted her head back slightly, and snorted coldly, "Humph, Li Fugui, you have come to this day!

You have done so many evil things, you should have expected this to happen." After saying this, he glared fiercely at the head of the Li family.

The people in the Marquis' Mansion gathered around, pointing and talking. Some put their hands on their hips and cursed angrily, "This wicked bastard has finally gotten his comeuppance!"

Others shook their heads, sighed, and said, "Those who do too much evil will eventually perish!"

Yunxi turned around, bowed slightly to Lord Zhao, and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhao, for your justice.

If it weren't for your Excellency's keen observation, who knows how much more injustice this mansion would have suffered."

Lord Zhao quickly waved his hand and said sternly, "Madam, you are too polite. It is my duty to uphold justice.

The Marquis' Mansion has always been clean, how could we allow such a villain to slander and frame us wantonly."

Then, Lord Zhao waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Come here, take this Master Li away!" Several officers immediately stepped forward and picked up the limp Master Li like a chicken.

Yunxi and the prince exchanged a glance. The prince nodded slightly, his eyes filled with satisfaction. Yunxi's lips curled up, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "The Marquis' Mansion is mighty!" Everyone echoed, and for a moment, the Marquis' Mansion was filled with cheers.

After Lord Zhao and Patriarch Li left, the people in the Marquis' Mansion gradually dispersed. Yunxi and the prince walked into the house hand in hand. They didn't speak a word along the way, but they held each other's hands even tighter.

The Marquis' Mansion returned to its former tranquility, but this turmoil made everyone more united.
