After the evil concubine was reborn, she only wanted to abuse the scumbag

Chapter 226 226: Ask your good son-in-law

If Lu Youping knew He Yu's evaluation of him in his heart, he would be full of complaints.

He doesn't piss to take care of his own virtues, and he still has the face to say that he is timid and flattering, a dignified Marquis of Wu'an, like a coward.

However, facing He Yu's question, Lu Youping just said: "Don't say you are strange, I am also wondering, I met on the road by chance, and His Highness the Eighth Prince asked me when he saw that I was in a hurry, I just said that something happened in the mansion. Jing Zhaoyin's help is urgently needed, His Highness immediately said to accompany me to the He Mansion to find you."

Also because of the "enthusiasm and initiative" of His Highness the Eighth Prince, Lu Youping had no choice but to tell the truth, and felt like crying without tears.

Originally, it would be embarrassing enough for Jing Zhaoyin to search the house, but now even the Eighth Prince knows that his daughter was robbed. Although they are victims, Lu Mingzhu's reputation will be affected to some extent. The news spread all over the city, and it even affected the reputation of other daughters.

"That's it?" He Yu looked at Lu Youping in disbelief, his eyes silently accusing him of not telling the truth.

It's what you want to ask, and if you still don't believe me when I tell you, then don't ask.

Lu Youping was very aggrieved, but the other party was Marquis Wu An, and he held the official position of Jing Zhaoyin, so he couldn't afford to offend him.

"Don't dare to lie to Lord Hou, it's true." Lu Youping said flatteringly, "It's not appropriate to spread the matter about my little girl. I hope Lord Hou will keep his mouth shut for a while. I will be grateful."

He Yu nodded readily: "Lord Lu, don't worry, I understand."

The Eighth Prince looks like he wants to make decisions for Lu Youping, how dare he chew the Lu family's tongue, before he can figure out the relationship between Lu Youping and the Eighth Prince, he should not easily offend Lu Youping.

Soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of Xiao's residence.

Xiao Muheng's new mansion is very grand, with two big red lanterns hanging high at the door, and the word "Xiao's Mansion" written in gold is said to be written by Liu Xiang himself.

There were not many officials from the Jingzhao government office, only six of them. He Yu explained how many people there were, and then asked the government servants to come forward and knock on the door.

Because the new mansion is nearing completion, the mansion has arranged for a group of servants to move in.

After waiting for a while, the side door next to it was opened. Who will open the door at night?

A young servant poked his head out and looked at a group of people in yamen uniforms standing at the door, his eyes widened in fright: "Every...all the officials, what's the matter?"

He Yu walked to the front and said expressionlessly: "I am the Marquis of Wu'an, entrusted by Lu Shilang, to search the mansion."

The young servant's face changed slightly, and he said anxiously: "Master Hou, there must be a reason for this house search, right?"

Out of nowhere, they came to search, and their Xiao family is also a respectable family now.

"You don't have to worry about it so much. After I found it, I will naturally ask your young master to record a statement." He Yu said.

The boy looked confused.

He Yu's complexion sank: "What? You're trying to stop this official from running an errand. If it delays things, are you responsible?" He was afraid of Xiao Muheng because he was a sure-fire son-in-law of the prime minister, and he didn't want to go through this muddy water It made Liu Xiangji hate him.

Originally, his daughter was about to marry into the Xiao family. If there was another scandal about Xiao Muheng robbing the maidservant's daughter at this time, it wouldn't be the face of the Liu family who was thrown on the ground before being crushed. How many feet?

Can Liu Xiang spare him?

However, His Highness the Eighth Highness ordered, and he dared not disobey.

He Yu felt that he had been wronged enough, so why should he worry about a slave at this time?
That is absolutely impossible.

He waved at the yamen guards behind him: "Go in and search for me, if there is any obstruction, you will be taken back to the prison and locked up."

Although the prison cells in the Jingzhao government office are not as terrible as those in the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple, when slaves go in, especially those who have offended others, they will not come out without peeling off their skins.

The servant stepped aside in horror, and could only watch helplessly as a group of people entered Xiao's mansion.

Many houses in the front yard were lit up, and people who didn't know thought the mansion was already occupied.

The quiet mansion suddenly became noisy. Not long after, Xiao Muheng strode here, followed by Liu Xiang.

Seeing Liu Xiang, He Yu's face suddenly changed in shock, and his legs wobbled in a very spineless manner.

Why is Liu Xiang here?

Isn't this Xiao's mansion officially inhabited?

Lu Youping secretly swallowed his saliva, and subconsciously moved a few steps towards Chu Jinyan, as if standing beside him would give him more confidence.

He straightened his chest and lifted his chin slightly, just looking at it like this, he was quite imposing.

The Lu family and the Liu family had already become enemies, even if he lay down on the ground and licked Liu Xiang's shoes, Liu Xiang would not let go of the old feud with him because of this, but would step on his face and humiliate him severely.

That being the case, it's better to have some backbone, as long as he doesn't commit the following crimes, Liu Xiang can't punish him.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Muheng looked at the group of people in the yard and asked. When Lu Youping saw the people behind him, his handsome face suddenly showed infinite coldness: "Master Lu, you brought me a lot of money at night." Is it too much for these people to come to my house to make trouble?"

As soon as Xiao Muheng's words fell, Liu Xiang strode past him and walked in front of Chu Jinyan, bowed and bowed a big salute: "My minister, see the Eighth Highness, Your Highness Wan'an."

Xiao Muheng looked at Chu Jinyan in astonishment.

The man was dressed in a black brocade robe, with a tall and slender figure and a handsome appearance. The eyes under his eyebrows were like cold pools.

Xiao Muheng had seen him.

Back then at the banquet of the Qin Mansion in Yangning City, when he was treated as a guest of honor by the Governor of Qin, everyone was guessing his identity. They only knew that he had a strong background, but they never expected that this person was the prince.

He is still the eighth prince who is favored by the emperor.

Chu Jinyan glanced at Liu Xiang with a smile that was not a smile, and said in a cool voice: "Master Xiang is really in a good mood, and he is here when he is not at the Xiangfu at night."

Liu Xiangxin said that you were not in your mansion at night and came here.

But on the face, he said respectfully: "It will be the day when my little girl gets married soon, Mu Heng is afraid of wronging my little girl, so he specially asked Wei Chen to come over and see if there is anything that needs to be changed in this mansion. Wei Chen has a lot of things in his daytime. , so we made an appointment at night, I don’t know if His Highness’s visit will be far away.”

As he spoke, he gestured to Xiao Muheng.

Xiao Muheng hurriedly bowed to Chu Jinyan: "Students see the Eighth Prince."

Chu Jinyan glanced at Xiao Muheng with a frosty face, but just this light glance immediately caused a chill in Xiao Muheng's heart, as if he was in an ice cellar, which made people tremble.

Liu Xiang said again: "I don't know what your Highness is coming here so late?"

Chu Jinyan snorted coldly: "I'm going to ask your good son-in-law about that."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiang immediately looked at Xiao Muheng, frowning: "Mu Heng, what did you do?"

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law doesn't know." Xiao Muheng shook his head.

He guessed why Lu Youping came here, but how did he know where he offended the Eighth Prince?
