Chapter 1706 Rescuing the Sleeping Beauty's husband-in-law 26
After Lu Sheng left the back kitchen, he walked to the front hall, ready to find Lie Yao, and watch a good show by the way.
The guest who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion was Qi Jinghan, the sixth prince who was engaged to Lin Qiuyi. He originally went to the General's Mansion to see Lie Yao, but when he knew that Lie Yao had come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he hurried over.
The emperor's most beloved prince, and the concubine mother is the only imperial concubine in the harem, second only to the empress, so Lu Cifeng naturally attaches great importance to it.
A lot of servants and maidservants were arranged in the front hall, and the butler poured tea by himself, which showed his attitude.
When Lu Sheng moved in from the corner of the door, he saw a man wearing a brocade attire, holding a folding fan, smiling extraordinarily coquettishly but with a baby face on his face, talking to Lie Yao all the time .
Qi Jinghan was talking vigorously, but when he looked up, he found that there was no one there. Looking forward, he saw Lie Yao walking over, holding Lu Sheng's hand.
Looking at the clasped hands, this was the first time he saw the cold General Lie so close to someone, and he guessed Lu Sheng's identity in an instant.
He stood up slightly, shaking the folding fan in his hand, and smiled elegantly on his lips, "Cousin, this is my cousin, she looks pretty."
Lie Yao looked indifferent, and occasionally answered him a few words, and sometimes there was no response at all, but his enthusiasm remained undiminished.
Even Lu Cifeng didn't reply to his words, he just stared at Lie Yao with burning eyes, like a little fanboy.
As soon as Lu Sheng walked in a few steps, Lie Yao caught a glimpse of his figure out of the corner of his eye, immediately got up from the chair, walked in front of him in three or two steps, took his hand directly, and pulled him in.
Lu Sheng was still that fool in front of Lu Cifeng, so he lowered his head the whole time, tugged on Lie Yao's sleeves, didn't make a sound, and waited for the show to start.
Not long after he sat down, Liu Xiangyu led Lu Yan over, and Lu Yan obediently followed behind him, with his head slightly lowered, not daring to look at Lu Cifeng at all.
"Hello, Your Highness."
The corners of Lu Sheng's mouth twitched when he heard this, the compliment was really unintentional, as far as his current face is concerned, if it is really good-looking, then the sixth prince in front of him has a unique aesthetic.
But obviously this compliment is quite useful to Lie Yao.
He looked at Qi Jinghan, with an unprecedented smile on his face, but he didn't say anything, he just pulled Lu Sheng to sit on his seat, and sat beside him.
He pulled Lu Yan to walk in front of Lu Cifeng. Lu Cifeng frowned, and his eyes glanced coldly across Lu Yan's face. He obviously didn't like him blatantly disobeying his orders.
"Master, don't be angry with Yan'er, he told me everything. You also know that he has a child's heart, and he is a little self-willed on weekdays, but he really can't do such harmful things. I'm afraid He was framed! Master, you have to decide this matter for him, if it gets out, Yan'er's reputation will be ruined."
Liu Xiangyu's voice was neither soft nor heavy, just right enough that everyone in the main hall could hear it clearly.
Liu Xiangyu had met the sixth prince once before, when he entered the door and saw him, he first pulled Lu Yan to salute.
Qi Jinghan is now interested in Lie Yao and Lu Sheng. Seeing them salute, she just waved her hands indifferently, not even giving them a glimpse from the corner of her eye.
Seeing him being so perfunctory, Liu Xiangyu felt depressed, but she still had a smile on her face, and others couldn't see the slightest clue.
He wants to see how Lu Cifeng will deal with it then!
As Liu Xiangyu said, she stretched out her hand and gently pushed behind Lu Yan.
Lu Yan immediately knelt down in front of Lu Cifeng knowingly, his face was full of grievances, and his eyes were red.
Lu Sheng hooked his lips, and there was a sneer on his lips.
The play he arranged hadn't started yet, but Liu Xiangyu sang the play himself first!
Yes, this development might be even better than what he had arranged in advance!
Lu Yan trembled slightly. Ever since he was slapped, he was instinctively afraid of Lu Cifeng, and now seeing his dark face, he was even more afraid.
His legs trembled slightly, and he was about to get up subconsciously, but Liu Xiangyu pressed his shoulders and pressed them down again.
"Master, it's better if the sixth prince is here, and there are more people to judge. It doesn't matter if you slap Yan'er, but he can't suffer this kind of injustice! As a younger brother, if he is rumored to push his elder brother into the lake With his vicious reputation, which man in Beijing would dare to marry him in the future?"
"Daddy, I was really wronged. I didn't push my brother into the lake, but he pulled me and pushed him to frame me on purpose!"
"Nonsense, I didn't see any guests, let's talk about it later!"
Lu Cifeng looked at Lu Yan who was so wronged that he was about to cry, and didn't try to comfort him at all, and even scolded him with a sullen face and lowered his voice.
When Qi Jinghan spoke, Lu Cifeng couldn't stop him, so he kept silent.
Liu Xiangyu stretched out his hand to help Lu Yan up from the ground, and bowed to Qi Jinghan, "Yan'er, come on, don't be afraid, tell His Royal Highness the sixth prince everything, he and your father will make decisions for you! "
Lu Yan glanced at his own mother, then raised his head to see the sixth prince with a baby face, talking and laughing at Yan Yan, gritted his teeth, and told all the things that happened before.
Liu Xiangyu knows that people's words are scary, if this matter is not made clear today, as long as there is a gossip in the mansion to spread the word, it will not be long before it spreads throughout the capital, and Lu Yan's reputation will really be ruined by then!
Lu Cifeng glared at him coldly, and was about to scold him when Qi Jinghan walked over shaking his folding fan.
"You want me to judge? Okay, you guys should talk about what's going on!"
If the title of General Zhen Guo hadn't been fought to the death in every battle, hereditary inheritance alone would not be able to convince the public.
Lu Sheng played with his palm and slender fingers, while Lie Yao just let him go and looked at him dotingly the whole time.
After listening to what Lu Yan said, Qi Jinghan shook the folding fan in his hand a few times, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Second Master Lu means that my cousin-in-law is not stupid at all, he has been pretending to be stupid, before he You even deliberately pulled your hand and pushed yourself into the lake. Your words sound contradictory, if you were not stupid, how could you pull your hand and push yourself into the lake? Isn’t he afraid of falling and drowning?”
At this time, Lu Sheng, who was sitting on the chair, didn't even look over. He was pulling Lie Yao's sleeve and playing with the thick callus on his palm.
Lie Yao's palms were covered with thick calluses, which were rough to the touch. Touching his calloused hands like this, Lu Sheng felt his heart rise Faintly distressed.
With so many cocoons, I'm afraid he had a hard time in the past few years.
"Also... Maybe he did it on purpose to show us, pretending to sink, and then float up again!"
"Second Master Lu, I have also been to the Huben Palace in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The lake is very deep. If it sinks, it may not float up. If he really wanted to frame you, why didn't he choose other methods? Do you want to choose such a dangerous one? This drowning is no small matter, if you are not careful, you will lose your life!"
"But...he..."
"He did it on purpose, maybe he knows water?"
"Really? But didn't you say that Cousin Lie Yao jumped to rescue him after he fell into the lake? If he knew how to swim, how could he sink?"
Qi Jinghan looked for his words and asked directly.
Lu Yan was directly blocked by his words, faltering and not knowing how to refute.
On the other hand, Liu Xiangyu on the side interjected at the right time, "Your Highness, maybe he saw General Lie and Master passing by early in the morning, so he chose that time to pull Yan'er to push him!"
"Oh." Qi Jinghan let out a snort, "Even if he saw it, so what, is he sure that Cousin Lie will jump down to save him? Or according to your ideas, maybe Cousin Lie also discussed it with his cousin in the morning. Well, the two conspired to frame you?"
Qi Jinghan is Lie Yao's number one fanboy, and of course he loves Lu Sheng, his cousin, too. Seeing the mother and son in front of him singing together, he feels unhappy.
Plus listening to what they said, no matter how you listen to it, it sounds like a frame-up.
