The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

After a pause, Xie Lingxi looked at her elder brother.

"But to find out the truth, Big Brother has to take action. When the truth comes out, Censor Liu will not let the person behind the scenes go. This truth is the bait I gave to Censor Liu. Once he takes the bait, he will not let go."

Xie Zhibai raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Sister, what you mean is that there is something hidden in this matter? Is it related to the Third Prince or the imperial examination fraud?"

Xie Zhibai's tone didn't sound too surprised.

After all, he was from the Ministry of Justice. Although he was not as experienced as the old men in the Ministry when it came to investigating cases, he felt that the Liu family case was suspicious when he heard about it, but he had no evidence.

In addition, he was not responsible for the case in the first place, so although he was surprised by the result, he did not ask any more questions.

Now, after listening to what my sister said, there is indeed something fishy, ​​and the truth sounds like something that Censor Liu would absolutely not be able to accept. That will be really exciting to watch.

If the murderer who killed Miss Liu was related to the Third Prince, considering Censor Liu's bad temper, his daughter's personal vendetta, and his own duties as Censor.

The one who sticks out is doomed to fail!

……

Prime Minister's House.

"Lord Xiao, Madam Xiao, you came at an inopportune time. The old man is resting and it is probably inconvenient for him to see guests now. Please go back."

The butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion came out of the gate in a dignified manner and spoke to Lord Xiao and Madam Xiao who were blocked outside by the guards.

The words were still polite, but in reality, Lord Xiao and Madam Xiao were turned away.

They rushed to the Prime Minister's residence in a hurry, but couldn't find Prime Minister Mu. They were so anxious that they scratched their heads and heads. How could they be willing to go back home like this?

So the two of them ignored the dissatisfaction and arrogance in the housekeeper's eyes and eagerly stated their purpose.

Lord Xiao even took out two silver bills from his sleeve and was about to stuff them into the butler's hand.

"Butler, I know we came at a bad time, but we really have something important to tell you. How about you go in and ask for instructions? We really have something to see Prime Minister Mu. We'll just say a few words and leave. We won't disturb you too much."

The butler dodged Lord Xiao's hand unhappily, this time the coldness in his eyes was not concealed, and his tone was warning.

"Lord Xiao, this is the Prime Minister's Residence, not the Marquis Cheng'en Residence. You should be more careful with your words. Moreover, this is still the Duke's Residence. It's just that our Prime Minister Mu doesn't want to be too high-profile, so he didn't hang it on the plaque. But if you want to use your power to pressure others, we are not afraid."

After hearing this, how could Lord Xiao dare to act rashly? He immediately begged for mercy, even though he was facing only a housekeeper...

"What you said is true. I didn't use my power to pressure others. How dare I? I sincerely want to see Prime Minister Mu. I have something urgent to tell you."

Mrs. Xiao noticed something at this time.

When they came to see Prime Minister Mu in the past, although the butler's attitude was lukewarm, he did not show his dissatisfaction on his face.

It is normal to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. The status of their Marquis' Mansion is not as high as that of the Duke's Mansion, so Madam Xiao didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Now that the dissatisfaction on the butler's face is so clear, if Madam Xiao still doesn't understand Prime Minister Mu's attitude, then she would be a fool.

She quickly tugged at Lord Xiao's sleeve and then spoke in a flattering manner.

"I'm so sorry, we'll leave now, but housekeeper, the Marquis and I are going on this trip to find out something. Has the Xie family sent anyone here?"

The butler raised his eyebrows, understood something, looked at Madam Xiao with a smile and asked.

"Mrs. Xiao, why do you say that? Who does our Prime Minister's Mansion have dealings with? Does it have anything to do with you two? Should we ask the doorman to come over and ask who has been here?"

Madam Xiao and Marquis Xiao didn't dare to respond to this.

Although they really wanted to know, after hearing what the butler said, they both had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Lord Xiao was even more panicked.

Since the butler did not explicitly deny it, it means that the Xie family may have really sent someone.

No matter who came, Lord Xiao was very angry.

He didn't expect Xie Yunchuan to be so insidious. He cut off the source of the problem while he knew nothing about it.

That old bastard!

Lord Xiao was filled with rage, but in front of the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he did not dare to lose his temper and could only express his loyalty for a while.

Because he also realized that he and his wife could not get in, so he could only ask the butler to convey his words to Prime Minister Mu as much as possible.

"Butler Mu, since Prime Minister Mu doesn't want to see us... No, no, no! Since Prime Minister Mu is resting, please ask Butler Mu to help us pass on a message. Just say that our Cheng'en Marquis Mansion has always been loyal and respectful to the Third Prince and Prime Minister Mu."

"No matter what, we will not have any second thoughts. This time we did not handle the matter properly. We promise that there will not be a next time! Please forgive us, Third Prince and Prime Minister Mu, and give us another chance to atone for our sins. If there is anything you need us to do, we will do our best!"

The butler seemed tired of listening and waved his hand.

"Lord Xiao, your words are too serious. If Lord Xiao wants to say these words, just tell Prime Minister Mu directly. I dare not spread them."

After saying that, he bowed to the two of them.

"It's getting late now, so we won't delay Lord Xiao and Madam Xiao. You two should go back quickly."

The butler didn't say anything about passing the message, but Marquis Xiao and Madam Xiao were angry but could not say anything. They could only get back in the carriage and leave as if they had lost their parents.

The butler looked at the carriage going away, a sneer appeared on his lips, and then he turned around and went back.

Prime Minister's Mansion, main hall.

"Third Prince, Master, this is what Lord Xiao and Madam Xiao said..."

The butler relayed everything that Marquis Xiao and Madam Xiao had said to the two people in the room.

Besides an old man with gray beard, the person sitting on the main seat was the Third Prince who looked dissatisfied.

After the butler finished speaking, the third prince slammed the table, stood up, snorted coldly and cursed.

"You still have the nerve to show your loyalty to me? What's the point of me wanting the Xiao family's loyalty? You are so stupid! Good-for-nothings! A whole family of good-for-nothings!"

The third prince cursed loudly, and when he had cursed enough, he restrained himself a little and turned to look at his grandfather's face.

My grandfather had a calm expression on his face, his eyes closed, still rolling a walnut in his hand, as if he didn't care.

The third prince frowned, then continued.

"You should have behaved yourself in the court after being impeached by so many censors. Why did you dare to come to the Prime Minister's residence? Are you afraid that your father will forget to punish me? Are you afraid that I won't be implicated?"

"There are so many people in the Xiao family, but not one of them is outstanding. They are neither as brave as the Xie family nor as smart as the Xie family. I was really blind to bring them under my command. Not to mention helping me, they are only holding me back. They are trash! A whole family of trash!"

The third prince repeated the curse of "waste" and then glanced at his grandfather's expression.

Prime Minister Mu was still spinning walnuts, but his eyes slowly opened...
