Chapter 272 Do you have evidence?
After listening to Ye Jiayao's story, Helian Jing was so angry that he wanted to find Xia Chunyu right away and beat him up, but he couldn't because he had more important things to do.
He immediately took people to find Lu Xiaotian's servant and the failed scholar who specialized in writing letters for others.
Ye Jiayao took Ping An to Wei's house.
The carriage stopped not far from Wei's house. Ping'an went to the house and called A-Lian out, claiming to be her family member.
When A Lian saw that the person looking for her was the eldest daughter, she was a little panicked.
Ye Jiayao looked at her solemnly: "Alian, you know what kind of person the Second Miss is. The more secrets you know, the less safe you will be. I can promise you now. If you tell me everything you know, then I will get your indenture back, set you free, and give you a sum of money, enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. Of course, even if you don't tell me, I have other ways to find out the truth, but I'm very tired now and don't want to go through so much trouble. This is the only chance, so you can decide for yourself."
A Lian hesitated for a long time, and her expression gradually became firm. She said, "That day, when the second young lady returned to Yangzhou, Princess Liuli came while waiting for the ship to sail. Princess Liuli asked the second young lady to help her deal with you, and the benefit was that the second uncle would return safely. Later, the second young lady and Princess Liuli kept communicating, and it seemed that even the third young lady was in collusion with the second young lady. I only heard bits and pieces, and I don't know what they were going to do specifically."
Ye Jiayao closed her eyes for a long time, took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes, her vision was clear.
I see……
"Alian, I'll have to ask you to go back to the Second Young Lady and be patient for a while. I will definitely keep my promise."
After meeting A Lian, Ye Jiayao went to meet Xiao Jing again and asked Ping An to go to Renhe Hall to find Song Qi to pass on a message. Fortunately, Xiao Jing acted quickly and the two were caught before they could escape.
Under Xiaojing's intimidation, both of them confessed the whole story.
According to their description, the person who contacted them was the eunuch named Xiaoluzi who instigated Zhu Wang's wife, and he was Liuli's man.
"Yaoyao, I will accompany you to the Marquis' Mansion now." Helian Jing felt distressed and angry. Yaoyao had suffered such a great injustice and was framed, but Brother Chunyu actually believed other people's lies.
Ye Jiayao said calmly: "Come back tomorrow morning and bring these two people here."
If she brought the person to Chunyu now, Chunyu might not believe that she had a better way.
Liuli, let's end things between you and me today.
When she returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Song Qi and Qiao Xi were waiting for her at the door.
"How is Shopkeeper Lu?"
Song Qi replied: "Two ribs were broken and there are serious internal injuries, but his life is not in danger. I'm afraid he will need to recuperate for several months."
Qiao Xi said, "Now the Madam of the Lu family has brought people to carry Manager Lu back. I have told her that I will give her an explanation."
Ye Jiayao nodded: "You did a good job."
Now, she is going to go in and find Chunyu to uncover the conspiracy.
When I entered the yard, I saw Xiangtao, Yingtao and others standing in the yard. Each of them had an angry look on their faces and stared at the door with tears in their eyes.
Seeing Ye Jiayao coming back, Xiangtao pointed at the door angrily and complained: "Second Young Madam, the Third Young Miss is seducing the Young Master."
Qiao Xi's face turned pale and he shouted angrily, "Are you all dead? Are you just letting that bitch do what she wants?"
Xiang Tao cried, "I was kicked out by the prince. He was already drunk, and he treated the third lady as the second young lady!"
Ye Jiayao said expressionlessly: "Song Qi, kick the door open, tie up the third young lady, and lock her up in the woodshed."
Song Qi already knew the general situation from Ping An, and he himself also realized that something was wrong. It was too strange that the prince suddenly appeared in the Chamber of Commerce today.
He immediately took the order, stepped forward and kicked the door open, and Ye Jiayao walked in.
I saw two people entangled in the bed, their clothes were disheveled and looked unsightly.
"Ah..." Jin Yao screamed in fright when she saw someone breaking in.
Xia Chunyu was startled by the noise and his drunkenness immediately dissipated. He then saw the face of the person under him clearly. It turned out to be Jin Yao. He was so scared that he immediately rolled off the bed.
Ye Jiayao stared at the two men coldly and said in a cold voice: "Song Qi, why don't you take action?"
Song Qi had no mercy on such a shameless person, he stepped forward and pulled Jin Yao down.
"Sister, what are you going to do? Brother-in-law, help me..."
Jin Yao was panic-stricken. Her clothes were torn apart, revealing a large area of white and tender flesh on her chest. She was exposed to the sight of another man, and she was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to bang her head against the wall.
Xia Chunyu was completely sober, but he couldn't remember how he ended up with Jin Yao. However, he knew without thinking that he must have been very drunk and mistook Jin Yao for Yao Yao.
"Song Qi, let her go." Xia Chunyu said coldly. This was his fault and had nothing to do with Jin Yao.
Song Qi said: "My Lord, I cannot listen to you on this matter."
Xia Chunyu was furious: "How dare you! Who is your master?" Song Qi was not afraid at all: "My Lord, you have also been tricked."
Ye Jiayao looked away, not wanting to see Chunyu's disheveled appearance, and said, "If you want to know the truth, put on your clothes and follow me."
"Brother-in-law, save me..." Jin Yao asked for help fearfully. This was not the plan, and she had not really succeeded yet.
Song Qi stuffed a piece of cloth into her mouth and said contemptuously, "You only know how to cry for help now, but it's too late. You are not a human being. You even want to harm your own elder sister."
Jin Yao whimpered, unable to speak, and unable to break free.
Xia Chunyu watched Jin Yao being dragged out by Song Qi, and was thinking about the truth that Yaoyao told him, so he didn't care about anything else and quickly changed his clothes.
Damn it, thinking about how intimate he had been with another woman just now, he wanted to peel off his skin.
As soon as I walked out of the yard, Xia Chunfeng came towards me.
"Second brother, what's the matter with you calling me here?"
Xia Chunfeng was discussing matters with several colleagues in the outer study. When he heard that his second brother was in a hurry to see him off, he hurried over.
Ye Jiayao said: "I'm the one looking for you. Today, I want you to go and witness something together."
"What's the matter?" Seeing his second sister-in-law so serious, Xia Chunfeng smiled a little unnaturally.
Ye Jiayao said calmly: "You will know when the time comes, but I still need your cooperation."
Xia Chunfeng was worried. Seeing that his second brother was also solemn and silent, he thought that Liuli had gotten into trouble again. But what did Liuli do to make his second brother and sister-in-law so angry?
Ye Jiayao walked straight to Liuli's room alone and kicked the door open with a bang.
Liuli was embroidering. When she saw Ye Jiayao coming in angrily, she was not afraid and motioned Xiaoya to go out and watch.
There was no one else in the room, Liuli said slowly: "Second sister-in-law is so rude, don't you know to knock before entering the door?"
If the gaze had substance, then Ye Jiayao's gaze was enough to pierce Liuli with thousands of holes. She had never hated Liuli, just disgusted with him, but now, she really hated this person.
"You've hurt me so badly, and you still want me to be polite to you?" Ye Jiayao said gritting her teeth.
Liuli sneered: "What is Second Sister-in-law talking about? I don't understand."
"Liuli, you don't have to pretend anymore. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. You colluded with Jinrong and Jinyao to harm me. Do you think I don't know?"
"Second sister-in-law, you need to have evidence to say this, you can't slander me!"
"You are just trying to deceive me by not being able to produce evidence, but God has eyes, and you will get retribution."
Liuli sneered: "Second sister-in-law said all kinds of crazy things today. How did I harm you? How come I didn't know?"
Ye Jiayao glared at her, "That night, you called Zhou here, didn't you? She said she wanted to play cards and tricked me out of the room so that Jinyao could slip a note into my handbook. Also, you asked someone to imitate Lu Xiaotian's handwriting to write that note, didn't you? Today, you bribed the people around Lu Xiaotian to give me and Lu Xiaotian drugs. Do you dare to swear that you didn't do any of this? Do you dare to swear that if you did it, you will have no children and grandchildren in this life, and you will never be qualified to be a mother. Do you dare?"
Liuli's face changed, and she was silent for a long time. Then she chuckled and said in a gentle voice, "You asked me to swear, so I swear? Why should I listen to you? That's right, I did it. What can you do to me? Can you produce evidence? Do you think Chunyu will still believe you today? Ye Jinxuan, look how pathetic you are. You are repeatedly schemed against by your own sister. Haha, you treat a wolf as a sheep and bring it with you. You can only blame yourself for not having eyes."
The maids outside had already been gagged and escorted out by the maids and servants brought by Qiao Xi. Only the brothers Xia Chunyu and Xia Chunfeng were left outside the door.
When Liuli said this, the two brothers looked at each other in bewilderment. Xia Chunyu was furious. It turned out that all this was a trap set by Liuli, and he actually believed it...
"Pa" a loud slap was heard from inside.
"You...you dare to hit me?" Liuli covered her face and looked at the person who hit her in disbelief.
Ye Jiayao sneered: "Why shouldn't I hit you? This slap is to punish you for your dirty thoughts. As a noble princess, you are doing despicable things."
"Ye Jinxuan, you bastard, you are bullying the emperor..."
"So what if I bully you? You caused me to lose Chunyu, I wish I could beat you to death." Ye Jiayao said angrily.
"Who harmed whom? If it weren't for you, I would be the one marrying Chunyu now. You hurt me so badly. I wish you were dead..." Liuli roared, not caring whether people outside could hear it.
"Pa", Ye Jiayao raised her hand and slapped again. Her movements were so fast that Liuli had no time to dodge.
"This slap is for Chunfeng. You have someone who likes you, but you don't know how to cherish him. You are still thinking about other men. Where do you put Chunfeng?"
"Ye Jinxuan, I'm going to fight you." After being slapped twice in a row, Liuli felt the greatest humiliation she had ever experienced. No one had ever touched her since she was a child, but she was slapped twice by the person she hated the most.
Liuli lost her mind and rushed forward like a madman to fight with Ye Jiayao.
