Mad Concubine Proud of the World: Your Highness is the most beloved

Chapter 45 Burning Evidence
Xia Muyao fell to the ground in a panic, and begged Xia Houye: "Father, my mother must have been wronged. You can't just rely on a few words to believe what other people say."

Master Xiahou closed his eyes in pain, sighed deeply, and said to Xia Ningxi, "Ning Xi, do you have evidence that what happened back then was done by Mrs. Zheng?"

Xia Ningxi pursed her lips slightly, and her tone was cold: "After ten years, even if there is evidence, it has already been destroyed by the Zheng family, and the old master of the country has passed away long ago. To find evidence, Dad thinks, is it possible?"

Master Xiahou fell silent, for a while, there was no other sound in the study except Xia Muyao's begging and Zheng's crying.

Xia Ningxi thought for a while, and said with a sigh of relief: "However, if my aunt doesn't mind and wants to prove that I have nothing to do with these things, I am willing to search for the evidence myself. As long as I get my father's tacit consent, I can carefully check the room even if it is my aunt's room." Search, what does father think?"

Zheng's face turned blue and white for a moment, and his eyes widened in shock, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

Xia Ningxi secretly glanced at her expression, knowing that once she searched, she would definitely be able to find evidence, so she gained more confidence.

Master Xia Hou pondered for a while, then waved his hands helplessly and said, "Then you go and search for yourself!"

The eldest maid Zhilan quickly said: "In those years, Madam used a lot of money. In order to prevent those people from reneging on their debts and extorting money in the future, Madam specially asked those people to sign a receipt for taking the money. These things are still there. I know where they are. place."

Xia Ningxi nodded in satisfaction, and said calmly, "Since you know, you won't have to search for me, so please make a trip to get the evidence!"

Zheng felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet, pointed at Zhilan with glaring eyes, and sternly reprimanded: "I have treated you well, yet you are so ungrateful!"

"Ma'am, Zhilan doesn't want to die." Zhilan only answered in a trembling voice, then stood up in a panic and trotted away.

Zheng slumped to the ground, almost fainting.

"Mother." With tears in her eyes, Xia Muyao hurriedly supported Zheng Shi to lean in her arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Xia Ningxi snorted coldly, raised her eyebrows with cold eyes: "When you framed my mother back then, did you ever think that you would have today!"

Zheng looked at her weakly, and sneered: "I haven't done it, no matter how much you slander me, I will never admit it."

Xia Ningxi frowned, and didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, she just waited for Zhilan to get the evidence.

At this time, the door of the study room was already crowded with servants, all of them watching anxiously.

Master Xiahou yelled violently: "Retire all for this Marquis!"

Those servants suddenly became terrified, and hurriedly scattered like birds and beasts, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

In a winding corridor, shaded by branches and leaves, a servant lowered his head respectfully, facing the elegant young man in a light blue robe in front of him, whispering something.

After Xia Muheng listened, he frowned and took a breath, nodded and said: "I see, you go down first!"

The famous servant Ding hurriedly nodded, turned around and left quickly.

Xia Muheng frowned slightly, looked at the door of Zheng's room with his hands behind his back, and walked towards the door of Zheng's room with his head held high.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Zhilan took the evidence and prepared to go to the study.

Xia Muheng looked down at her, and asked suspiciously, "Zhilan, what did you take?"

Zhilan's fingers trembled, she quickly lowered her head, pursed her lips and said: "My lord, this is something that Lord Hou ordered your servant to come and fetch, and this servant doesn't know what it is."

Xia Muheng stretched out his hand and stopped in front of her, his eyes were not happy: "Since I don't know, I'll take a look, it's okay!"

Zhilan bit her lip slightly, showing embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Lord Hou has ordered that no one can look at it."

Xia Muheng didn't force it, he withdrew his hand, watched her lower her head and was about to leave, and suddenly said, "Zhilan, if my son remembers correctly, you have a sick husband and a child who is only five years old. Your husband's mother is old and can't do anything, my mother has been taking care of you all these years."

Zhilan's fingers trembled suddenly, and the box in her hand fell to the ground, and several papers tumbled out and scattered on the ground.

Xia Muheng turned around, looked at the written evidence on the ground, and frowned slightly: "I can promise you that no matter whether my father drives you out of the Hou's mansion or not, I will take good care of you and your family in the future. If you encounter difficulties, just come to find me. My son, my son will definitely do my best."

With tears in her eyes, Zhilan sobbed, knelt down facing Xia Muheng, and said timidly: "Your Majesty, this servant just wants to survive. In recent days, this servant has always been haunted by Mrs. Sun's evil spirit, and this servant does not want to die."

Xia Muheng chuckled lightly, his eyes were clear and indifferent: "My third sister is really capable. There has never been any wronged souls in the Hou's mansion, they are all hallucinations created by her magic, you have been deceived."

A flash of panic flashed in Zhilan's eyes, and she raised her tearful eyes to look at Xia Muheng in disbelief.

Xia Muheng took a breath, turned around and walked in the opposite direction: "You can decide for yourself, if you don't hand over the evidence, my mother will at most be kicked out of the Marquis Mansion by my father. If you hand it over, my mother may go to jail. You have followed my mother for more than ten years, and you know how she treats you."

Zhilan opened her mouth, but didn't say a word after all, staring blankly at the box at her feet, unable to recover for a while.

When Xia Muheng walked away, she gritted her teeth and stood up in a panic. She simply walked back to the room, lit the lamp, and burned all the papers with the lamp. Suppressing the fear in her heart, she rushed back to the study empty-handed.

At the other end of the corridor, You Huang, who was standing invisible with Bai Luo in his arms, smiled helplessly and shook his head, looking at Xia Muheng's back as he walked away.

Bai Luo looked up at him, depressed: "Why didn't you stop that maid from burning the evidence? In this way, how can that Zheng get the punishment he deserves?"

You Huang stroked his head, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Bai Luo, you are still too simple to understand anything. Your sister Xia doesn't want to fall out with her second brother, the only way is to save Zheng's life. I did this to prevent Xiao Ning'er from regretting it in the future. After all, her second brother is really good to her, and she is also a rare gentleman."

Bai Luo didn't understand, stretched out his soft paws and scratched his ears, nestled in You Huang's arms and curled his lips.

After waiting for a while, Xia Ningxi looked at the door calmly, and finally saw Zhilan approaching, frowning and looking at her empty hands.

Lord Xia Hou narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at her uneasy expression, and asked coldly, "Where's the evidence?"

Zhilan glanced at Xia Ningxi timidly, swallowed secretly, and said anxiously: "The evidence is gone, I can't find it anywhere."

Zheng seemed to be relieved suddenly, her eyes, which had lost a trace of light, were shrewd again.

Xia Ningxi's heart skipped a beat, and she stared at Zhilan suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong.She was so sure of what she said just now, how could it be gone?
