The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 216 Hangzhou Injustice Case

"What should we do if it is found out that the Xiao family was really wronged by the emperor's uncle?" Jing Yan asked cautiously.

When Prince Guo and Fu Ling'an heard this, they looked at each other. Logically speaking, they didn't know what choice the emperor would make.

Should he admit his mistake and publicly redress their wrongdoing? Or should he privately appease Xiao Jian? Or should he simply deny the murder and silence it?

This is all possible.

"This is something the Emperor should consider. We just need to find out the truth."

Jing Yan nodded, "Then can I meet this Xiao Jian?"

"No." Prince Guo and Fu Ling'an refused without thinking. The dungeon was dark and creepy, and they didn't want to scare her to death.

"Father! I really want to ask you something. Please, if it really doesn't work, please let Fu Ling'an accompany me."

Jingyan wanted to know whether he assassinated her because she had quarreled with Xiaoyanzi and offended her. If it was really because of this, then he deserved to die. If it was because of something else, she was really curious.

Prince Guo disagreed, but couldn't stand Jing Yan's nagging, so he let her go.

In the dungeon, watching Fu Ling'an skillfully fiddle with the rockery in a corner of the garden, a door appeared. For a moment, Jing Yan had the illusion that "is this your home or my home?"

"I guess my brother doesn't even know there's such a place at home. It's too secretive."

Fu Ling'an chuckled and didn't dare to say anything. Yongheng naturally knew it, only Jingyan didn't know.

Fu Lingan carefully protected Jingyan and went down.

This is the private prison in Prince Guo's mansion. Fortunately, Prince Guo rarely returns home, so the dungeon is very clean and tidy. It is completely different from the place Jingyan imagined, which is covered with blood and filled with stench.

Yes, if it was really like that with torture instruments everywhere and blood everywhere, Prince Guo would never agree to let her come.

Seeing Jing Yan coming in, Xiao Jian sneered and struggled, causing the chains to rattle, "You still dare to come?"

Jing Yan nodded and got straight to the point: "I'm curious, are you trying to vent your anger on behalf of your sister? Have you ever thought about what your sister would do if you died?"

Xiao Jian was startled when he mentioned this, then he snorted coldly: "What sister? I killed you to enforce justice. Now that I am inferior to you in skills, you can kill me or chop me up as you please."

"Little Swallow." Jing Yan looked at Xiao Jian and gently uttered the name.

Xiao Jian was stunned for a moment. He struggled, "How did you know? Impossible. There is no other person in the world who would know this."

"So I guessed right. You haven't recognized each other as brother and sister yet? What a pity." Jing Yan shook his head slightly. Xiao Jian was really not smart. He tried to show off his ability for a while, but ended up in such a situation.

"I'm telling you, if you dare to touch her, I won't let you go even if I turn into a ghost!"

Once a person starts threatening others by turning into a ghost, it means he has no more cards to play. Jing Yan ignored his panic and turned away.

She had no interest in dealing with Xiaoyanzi. As long as she didn't cause any trouble for her, what she did had nothing to do with her.

As for Xiao Jian, the day he overturns Xiao Zhihang's case will be the day he loses his head.

When they returned to the hall, Yongheng chased after Jingyan and asked, "What did you go to ask?"

"Ask him why he killed us."

Fu Ling'an didn't say anything, but he was obviously very curious. Jing Yan didn't intend to hide it from them, so she told them her guess that Xiao Yanzi was Xiao Jian's sister.

"Ah? You want to kill us just because we had a conflict? Is it so casual?" Yongheng obviously couldn't accept this weird reason.

Fu Ling'an nodded. Xiao Jian's behavior just now was indeed strange. "He couldn't have lied to you, could he? Also, how are he and Xiao Yanzi involved? How do you know their relationship?"

Jing Yan couldn't explain this: "I was just asking casually, my intuition, maybe it's a woman's sixth sense. You men don't understand. Anyway, I don't care. Let's find out what happened in Hangzhou and let Uncle Huang make the decision."

Looking at Jingyan's nonchalant look, Fu Lingan and Yongheng looked at each other, feeling as if everything was too simple.

Fu Ling'an and Yongheng firmly believed that Xiao Jian, the scheming man, was fooling her.

Prince Guo didn't care much about it. After all, the Xiao sword was in their hands and couldn't do anything.

"Fu Ling'an, do you really have to go to Hangzhou? My brother and Qing'er are getting married next month. Can you make it back?"

When this was mentioned, Yongheng also looked at him eagerly. Fu Lingan was his best friend, and he would make a fuss if he didn't come.

Fu Lingan smiled helplessly: "Of course, I will definitely come back."

That’s good, Jingyan and Yongheng were both relieved.

Speaking of marriage, Prince Guo smiled and nodded. "The Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department are also very busy. After Yongheng's wedding, the Fifth Prince's wedding will also be on the agenda. Yan'er Ling'an, as long as we don't cause trouble for others, your wedding can be postponed."

Hearing this, Jing Yan smiled and looked at Fu Ling'an. Sure enough, Fu Ling'an frowned and looked aggrieved: "Uncle, I still want to call you father-in-law."

Prince Guo couldn't stop smiling. Fu Ling'an and Fu Heng looked very similar. Whenever he saw Fu Ling'an busying around him, Prince Guo would always think of Fu Heng, and he felt so proud.

Fortunately, no one knew about Prince Guo’s secret hobby, otherwise Fu Heng would have fought him to the death.

But the fact that his father-in-law did not agree did not bother Fu Ling'an. He had already made progress in other areas, and getting a wife was just around the corner.

After all, if the future mother-in-law is satisfied with everything about her son-in-law, it is also time to let the father-in-law know clearly who has the final say in this family.

After lunch, Fu Lingan wanted to take Jingyan out shopping. "My mother allocated me a shop a few days ago to do jewelry business, but I really don't know much about it. Can you help me find some advice?"

Giving Fu Ling'an the jewelry shop, Fu Cha Fu Jin has other intentions, so Jing Yan is naturally willing to discuss it.

However, before the two of them could sneak away, Yongheng stopped them: "I want to go too!"

"Brother, you, I, hey!"

Jingyan held his forehead helplessly, and he didn't blame his brother. A few days ago, the Empress Dowager said that they shouldn't see each other too often before the wedding, and Qing'er couldn't leave the palace. Yongheng just entered the palace yesterday, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to go again today. He could only follow the two of them like a follower.

Fu Lingan was also a little helpless, "Brother, please be kind, I'm going to Hangzhou tonight."

This is a rare opportunity to have a date, so please be kind to your brother-in-law.

This was the first time Fu Ling'an called him brother so smoothly. Yongheng's eyes widened immediately and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Good brother, I will go to the palace to pay my respects to the emperor uncle. You guys go out and be careful and come home early tonight!"

After saying that, Yongheng ran away quite tactfully.

Jing Yan was stunned: "My brother? So easy to deal with?"

Fu Lingan chuckled and gently held Jingyan's hand.
