Yusui Chang'an

No matter how good Qin Zhixu was, she was still Feng Sinian's wife. If something like this happened to her, Feng Sinian would naturally be embarrassed as well.

After Du Xing finished speaking, Lin Jinyan stood up, bowed, and apologized to several people:

"After hearing what Du Xing said about this matter when he returned home, I felt deeply ashamed of having done something to the crown prince and Siyao, causing the Hou Mansion to lose face. I had also reprimanded Du Xing for his carelessness. After receiving Siyao's post, I was going to come to the Hou Mansion immediately. It’s an explanation, but my brother is deeply involved in rumors, and many people who don’t know the truth gather around Lin Mansion.”

"I was afraid that bringing people to the Marquis' Mansion would cause further trouble for the Marquis' Mansion, so I delayed coming here until today. When I went out, I asked the guards to drive my carriage to lead the people away, so that I could get rid of them."

Feng Siyao pulled Lin Jinyan to sit down:
"How can I blame you? I wrote this post because I wanted to thank you in person. After the incident, many people stared at the Hou Mansion to see the joke. They went to your place because they were afraid of attracting criticism from you."

Feng Sinian: "Siyao is right. Miss Lin must not overthink it. Everything has been found out. If Du Xing hadn't rescued the person, the situation would have been worse."

After speaking, Feng Sinian politely asked Du Xing to take a seat and informed them of the investigation.

Hearing this, Lin Jinyan looked at Xi Jiaxiong and hesitated to speak. When Feng Sinian saw this, he explained:

"Xi Weiwei is a trustworthy person, Miss Lin can rest assured."

Lin Jinyan: "Your Highness and the Crown Prince are saying that this matter was done by His Highness Prince Jin?"

Chu Chengping was in a slightly depressed mood:
"The information found out is indeed the secret plan of the Second Emperor Brother. In the past, the Second Emperor Brother has always been kind to me, but I didn't expect..."

Marquis Pingyang: "In the past dynasties, there have been many cases of killing brothers and sisters for the sake of power. That's why there is a saying that the royal family has no father and son. You are in the royal family, even if you don't want to be in that position, you can't avoid being affected."

Chu Chengping nodded: "My grandson knows, he just feels uncomfortable in his heart."

Marquis Pingyang looked at Lin Jinyan: "Girl Yan, do you know that you were attacked when you were out of the city a few days ago, and one of the gangsters was Qin Zhixu's people?"

Lin Jinyan paused for a moment after hearing this, and glanced at the people present with a surprised expression:

"How is this possible? I have no quarrel with the imperial concubine, and I have never had any quarrel with the Duke's family... Could it be His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Marquis Pingyang stared closely at Lin Jinyan's expression. Seeing that she looked surprised and confused, he did not know anything about it, so he withdrew his eyes and scrutinized:

Since Lin Jinyan didn't know that Qin Zhixu was responsible for the murder, it seemed that rescuing Xi Jiaxiong was an accident and not a plan.

Feng Sinian cleared his throat awkwardly. Of course, he couldn't tell the real reason. If the people in the room knew that Qin Zhixu was jealous and bought Lin Jinyan's life, wouldn't it ruin Lin Jinyan's reputation for no reason?

"I don't know the reason yet. I found it accidentally in the past two days. I just told Miss Lin to be more careful about the Duke's mansion and the prince."

After talking secretly for nearly an hour, Lin Jinyan left with the thank-you gift prepared by Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

Before leaving, Chu Chengping called Lin Jinyan to Feng Siyao's yard, and waited for a long time before speaking:
"Being born in the royal family, I have no control over many things. Since I enjoy the imperial power and wealth, I should naturally shoulder the corresponding responsibilities. I understand this. But my... marriage, I don't want to be forced to do so... I want to marry me A happy woman..."

Feng Siyao's eyes drifted to Lin Jinyan beside him, and he pursed his lips to suppress his smile.

Lin Jinyan: "If His Highness really has the supreme power, he will naturally not be persecuted by others." (End of Chapter)
