Chapter 249 One step too late
Leng Qingyu raised his hand and touched Ye Xinran's head, saying: "What's the big deal, it's just a few laughs from others, they don't know what I got.
From now on, mother will take care of you and Chang Huai, and we will all live a good life."
Ye Xinran nodded.
"Although I don't know what those people will say, but you are right, it is important for us to get the real things in our hands."
Leng Qingyu called Manager Wan and asked him to keep an eye on the situation at the Ministry of Justice.
When he turned around to look for Lu Zhiyi, the housekeeper told him that Lu Zhiyi had heard that something had happened to the Marquis and ran away early in the morning and has not returned yet.
Leng Qingyu nodded.
Now things have basically been settled, the only variable is Lu Zhiyi.
It turned out that he still remembered the feelings they had had over the years and wanted to find a good man for her to marry.
But judging from Lu Zhiyi's behavior during this period, she didn't take her as a mother seriously at all. All these were just her own wishful thinking.
"Send someone out to look for the second young lady and ask her to come back as soon as possible."
Leng Qingyu instructed the butler.
Before the dust settles, she has to keep Lu Zhiyi under control in the Marquis' Mansion and not let anything go wrong.
But Leng Qingyu was one step too late after all.
The housekeeper led people out to search for Lu Zhiyi for a long time but failed to find out whereabouts. At this time, Lu Zhiyi was hiding in the Third Prince's residence, counting all the abnormalities of Leng Qingyu recently.
"Your Highness, my father's death was definitely not an accident. He has always been a good drinker and would never die just because of a few glasses of wine."
The Third Prince played with Lu Zhiyi's snow-white shoulders with a satisfied look on his face. He looked at Lu Zhiyi kneeling in front of him and said, "Everyone knows how much the Marquis can drink, but the coroner's preliminary examination has concluded that the Marquis died of excessive drinking."
"Your Highness, my father has worked diligently for you over the years. Now that something like this has happened, Your Highness must seek justice for my father."
The Third Prince's expression turned cold again, and he said, "Your father died in your mother's yard. Do you want the Ministry of Justice to prove that it was your mother who killed Marquis Lu?"
"Absolutely not!"
Lu Zhiyi was so frightened that her face turned pale. She stepped forward and hugged the third prince's legs and said, "Father has already agreed to take mother back to the Marquis' Mansion. How could mother harm him at this time? Besides, they have been thinking about each other for many years. My mother would never do such a thing!"
The third prince pinched Lu Zhiyi's face, looked at her tearful eyes and red mouth, and suddenly felt like to torture her again.
He tightened his grip until Lu Zhiyi cried out in pain, then he loosened his grip a little.
"Then tell me, what's going on?"
Lu Zhiyi said quickly: "Before in Yuntong County, I felt that Ye Xinran was very strange. The man next to her didn't look like an ordinary citizen at all.
But my parents were there at that time, so I didn’t think much about it.
Looking back now, my mother's change started from that time.
Mom has always been obedient to Dad, but since Ye Xinran came back, she seemed like a completely different person. She doesn't take Dad's words to heart at all and is lukewarm towards me.
I always feel that Ye Xinran came back to rob the property of the Marquis' Mansion. She doesn't have such a sophisticated plan. It must be the idea given to her by the man next to her. "
The Third Prince sneered upon hearing this: "Do you really think I know nothing? Didn't your so-called brother-in-law die a long time ago? You deliberately made it so mysterious just to arouse my interest so that I can help you get rid of them, right?"
