Chapter 19

"What a 'the dead cannot come back to life'! What a 'it shouldn't be counted on his head'!" Lin Qingyue laughed mockingly.

"Alright then, I'll help you. After all, Lin Rufeng is the eldest son of the Hou Mansion? His life is indeed 'more precious'."

"Shen Mo, instead of burning together, why not..." She came to Shen Mo's side again and didn't know what she said.

Shen Mo, who had almost lost his humanity, calmed down and looked steadily at Lin Qingyue.

A moment later, he said loudly: "Okay, I am willing to let go of hatred and let Lin Rufeng go."

At the same time, the fangs disappeared, and the vertical pupils slowly returned to human pupils.

Only a sharp voice was still protesting: "Shen Mo, she is lying to you! You can't be fooled, Shen Mo, Shen Mo!"

"Noisy!" Lin Qingyue slapped the top of "Lin Rufeng's" head, and Lin Rufeng was knocked flying several feet away. At the same time, a twisted, huge snake shadow flew out of Lin Rufeng's body, stretched violently, and slipped away quickly.

"Monster, where are you running!" Xie Shouzheng shouted, and chased out of the Hou Mansion with the subordinates of the Xuanjing Division.

And Lin Rufeng fell to the ground, motionless.

"Feng'er!" Zhou Shi couldn't help but complain to Lin Qingyue, "How could you hit your brother so hard? If he has any mishaps, how can I live?"

Lin Qingyue said: "He won't die, he just fainted. Carry him back to the room, rest for a night, and he will recover tomorrow."

"Really?" Zhou Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "Yue'er, Mother knew you wouldn't ignore your brother's life!"

"Is that it?" Lin Xiao was a little worried, first called someone to check, and sure enough, saw that Lin Rufeng still had breath, just temporarily unconscious.

Lin Xiao hurriedly ordered: "Carry the Eldest Young Master down to rest."

The people from the City Guard Battalion also dispersed when they saw the matter was over.

Some of the hot-blooded ones spat at the gate of the Hou Mansion before leaving: "It's really no good deed goes unpunished, and the scourge lasts for a thousand years!"

But what can be done?

Even if the Hou Mansion is far less glorious than its ancestors, it is still a high-ranking family, and the eldest daughter is the Princess of Jin.

Even if Lin Rufeng's dirty deeds are exposed, it will only lose some reputation and will not hurt him at all. Even, he can still rely on his ancestors' shade to live a life of luxury.

"Yue'er, how do you know those means to deal with demons and evil spirits?" After her son's matter was settled, Lin Xiao finally remembered to care about Lin Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue casually prevaricated: "Of course I learned it among the people. I met a strange person when I was young and was taught some skills. If Father wants to know more, then we have to start from the daughter's background."

In front of Dongfang Yan, how dare Lin Xiao mention the background issue? If he mentioned it, wouldn't it expose Lin Ruzhen's identity as a fake daughter?

In this era where classes are clearly defined, even poor families are looked down upon, let alone others?

Once Lin Ruzhen's true background is exposed, the noble class will no longer tolerate her.

That good chess piece that the Lin family had carefully cultivated for more than ten years would become a useless piece!

Lin Xiao hurriedly said: "Since it's a chance encounter, it can be considered your fortune. However, mystic arts are mostly used by the bottom-level peddlers and pawns. You are a Princess, your mind should be focused on serving the Prince and winning over the clan."

Lin Qingyue sneered: "Heh~ what is this called? Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge?"

"Yue'er! How are you talking to your father?"

Dongfang Yan didn't notice the problem in the father and daughter's words, remembered something else, and asked Lin Qingyue:

"What did you say to Shen Mo's ghost just now? He actually listened to your instructions and left obediently?"

Lin Qingyue shook her sleeves and prevaricated casually: "Oh nothing, I just told him to be magnanimous, let go of hatred, and go to reincarnation early."

Heh~ as if!

"Your Highness!" Lin Ruzhen, who had been hiding in the pavilion for refuge, saw that the crisis outside was resolved and hurriedly ran out to show herself.

Dongfang Yan heard that delicate shout and remembered that Lin Ruzhen had been planted with a strange curse by Lin Qingyue.

"Lin Qingyue, remove the curse on Zhen'er."

"What curse?" Lin Xiao looked blank.

Dongfang Yan briefly explained the matter and said to Lin Qingyue: "Remove the curse, and promise me that you will never use despicable means to harm people again. I will let bygones be bygones for what happened before."

"Ah!" Lin Ruzhen covered her mouth, extremely surprised, "So it was Sister who harmed me?"

Then she shed tears again: "Sister, even if I did something wrong, you can hit me or scold me. Why use such means to harm me? Do you know that Zhen'er was in so much pain that she didn't sleep all night, and her whole tongue was so swollen that she couldn't speak. Thanks to the Prince of Jin for inviting the imperial physician to treat me, the swelling subsided and the pain stopped, and I could barely speak."

Lin Qingyue hehe: "So much nonsense, it seems you are still not in enough pain."

"Lin Qingyue!" Dongfang Yan's face turned cold again, "Why do you always have to speak so meanly?"

When looking at Lin Qingyue alone, he felt she was smart and calm, and would give people surprises from time to time.

But once she was with Lin Ruzhen, her mean face was revealed, and all the previous good feelings were completely ruined.

"I said, this curse cannot be broken. Unless you live honestly in the future and stop telling lies, otherwise every time you tell a lie, a foul sore will grow on your mouth. Over time, even your tongue will rot away. Even the most brilliant doctor can only relieve it for a while, but cannot cure the root cause."

Dongfang Yan said: "Lin Qingyue, your mind is too vicious, and you are good at using curses to harm people. Leaving you outside, who knows what crazy things you will do in the future. Someone, catch the Princess and lock her in the Wangfu dungeon!"

"Your Highness!" Zhou Shi suddenly stood out, helping Lin Qingyue speak for the first time in her life, "You and Yue'er are husband and wife after all, and it's a union bestowed by the Emperor, you must not become enemies. As for Zhen'er..."

She looked at Lin Ruzhen, no longer with the same kindness and blind trust as before.

"Zhen'er might have indeed told some lies..."

"Madam!" Lin Xiao hurriedly spoke to stop her.

He had selfish motives. One daughter had already been disliked by the Prince, he couldn't smear another daughter.

Zhou Shi said with tears in her eyes: "Marquis, you don't know. Just now when Feng'er was possessed by an evil spirit and went mad, I kindly saved Zhen'er. But she pushed me out instead. If Yue'er hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have died!"

If Dongfang Yan hadn't been on the side, she would have wanted to say one more sentence: She is not biological after all, a white-eyed wolf that can't be raised!

Lin Xiao was shocked when he heard this: "Is this true? Your mother treated you so well, and you actually pushed her to die?"

Lin Ruzhen subconsciously defended: "I didn't, I didn't mean to, it was Mother who didn't stand firm and fell out of the door... ah, pain!"

The tongue that had already subsided in swelling swelled up again, and Lin Ruzhen covered her mouth and trembled in pain.

Lin Qingyue smiled and held out three fingers: "That sentence just now contained a total of three lies: I didn't, I didn't mean to, Mother didn't stand firm and fell out of the door."

"Since the imperial physician has seen you, the diagnosis record should have recorded how many sores grew in your mouth. Then just compare it now to see if there are three new sores, and you can verify your lies!"

She looked at Dongfang Yan with a smile: "Do you think you really understand her? You don't even know if what she said is a lie!"
