Meng Guogong squinted his eyes and followed Yun Luan's gaze to the woman huddled in the corner.

He knows better than anyone that now he must help Luan Yun clear away the suspicion on him.

This chess piece must not be destroyed here.

It has not been easy for Emperor Yu to sit in the position of prince these past years. If the Meng family doesn't help him, forget it, and they must not hold him back.

In fact, the death of Lao Liu is not entirely a bad thing for him.

Lao Liu had been a fool all his life, but when he was about to die, he showed his greatest value. If he could completely pull off Xiao Guozhang's confidant Zong Lin, Lao Liu's death would not be in vain.

Meng Guogong took the lead to walk in front of Xue Yan. He looked at her condescendingly and asked in a low voice: "Do you know the inside story? Miss Xue Yan, as long as you tell the truth, I can make the decision and let you live. "

"You don't have to believe me, but you don't believe in His Royal Highness, right? His Royal Highness is a wise prince who loves the people as his own son and has a kind heart. Since I have mentioned his name, I will definitely keep you safe. I will definitely keep my word.”

Xue Yan slowly raised her head, and a bit of light flashed in her eyes.

"Are you telling the truth? Can you really save my life?"

Meng Qiu nodded slowly, trying his best to make his expression look softer so as not to frighten Xue Yan.

Xue Yan was timid and glanced at Zong Lin who was not far away, then she shrank her neck.

"I...I know some inside information."

"But...but I'm afraid of being silenced."

Zong Lin's heart suddenly trembled, and he immediately had a bad premonition.

He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth secretly and looked at Xue Yan: "Just talk, what do you think I am doing? I have never been in contact with you, and I have never said a word to you. I advise you to think twice before you act. To accuse others falsely."

He didn't even know this woman named Xue Yan, and he had no contact with her at all.

He didn't understand at all why Xueyan looked at him at this critical moment?

This woman is inexplicable.

Zong Lin was extremely angry, and his eyes when he looked at Xue Yan were extremely cold.

Xue Yan was naturally frightened, trembling, and quickly looked away, not daring to look at Zong Lin again.

Meng Qiu's eyes immediately shot out a cold light, shooting towards Zong Lin coldly.

"You are so bold. In front of me, you dare to threaten her like this?"

"Do you really think that since you have the father-in-law to support you, I can't do anything to you? If you make me angry, even if the father-in-law is here, I will still kill you."

Zong Lin had never been humiliated and cursed like this by others, and his face was ashen.

"How did I threaten her? She obviously wanted to throw dirty water on me, right?"

Yun Luan couldn't help but sneer: "Master Zong, are you feeling guilty? This girl didn't say a word, and you couldn't hold back anymore?"

Zong Lin was speechless and looked at Yun Luan with an ugly expression.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What happened today has nothing to do with me. Why am I guilty?"

"Luan Yun, I'm warning you not to talk about things at will, as you will wrongly accuse a good person."

Yun Luan's eyes were full of ridicule. When she looked at Zong Lin, she no longer had the fear and respect she had before.

Her face was full of disdain: "If you are a good person, I'm afraid there will be no good people in this world. If what happened today has nothing to do with you, why are you so well-informed and able to bring people in in time?"

"You said you are innocent, but you are lying. We are all adults, don't fool us like three-year-old children. Miss Xueyan, please tell the truth quickly. Since Duke Meng has spoken, I can protect you." If your life is on the line, don’t worry about it, lest you let the murderer escape and go unpunished."

Zong Lin was angry and his heart ached.

His face turned pale and he stared at Yun Luan.

He turned his head at a loss and looked at Xiao Guozhang. He opened his mouth to explain.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Guozhang looked at him with an extremely suspicious look.

"Zong Lin, if you are wrongly accused, I will not sit idly by and ignore it. But for now, please stay calm. Xueyan didn't say a word, but you are so excited. It makes people think that you are really I feel guilty."

Zong Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Xiao Guozhang in panic.

"Master Zhang, don't you even believe me?"

Xiao Guozhang pressed his shoulders and signaled him to calm down.

"This is not a matter of belief or not. You have to have evidence to prove that this matter really has nothing to do with you."

"Otherwise, how can you ask me to help you in full public view? Zong Lin, where have your previous stability and calmness gone? The matter has not yet been decided, so don't get yourself into trouble."

Xiao Guozhang's words calmed Zong Lin's emotions very well.

Zong Lin took a few breaths of relief and slowly suppressed his irritable mood.

"What the father-in-law taught me is that I was too flustered and a little confused."

He was so angry that he lost his sense of control.

The development of things was gradually out of his control. He had never experienced such frustration, so he couldn't accept it for a while, so he panicked.

Yun Luan watched Zong Lin gradually calm down, her eyes flickered, and she glanced at Xue Yan vaguely.

Xue Yan received Yun Luan's hint. She started holding the handkerchief, wiping the tears on her face and sobbing: "Actually, I was bribed by Meng Liuye. Meng Liuye ordered me to enter Qingcheng Courtyard on purpose. Get close to Mr. Luan, use a beauty trick on him, drug him, and have a romantic relationship with him. When Mr. Luan is confused and infatuated, Meng Liuye sends an assassin over again, and takes advantage of the chaos to kill Mr. Luan."

Yun Luan sighed, full of helplessness and grievance: "Master Meng Liu is so unkind. I don't have any deep hatred against him, but he is so cruel that he wants to kill me?"

"But, I don't understand why I didn't die in the end, but the person who died on this bed ended up being Mr. Meng Liu?"

Yun Luan looked at Xue Yan with confusion.

Xue Yan unconsciously raised her eyes again and glanced at Zong Lin.

Zong Lin was so angry that he almost felt smoke coming out of his mouth.

He clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth secretly.

This bitch, what do you want to see him do?

Could it be that she wanted to say that he had a hand in this?

Before Zong Lin could calm down, Xue Yan's words completely made him furious.

"After Mr. Luan drank the drink I handed her, she fell into a coma and lost consciousness. I was just about to reach out to untie Mr. Luan's clothes and plan to have sex with him. Who knows, someone suddenly opened the window and carried Mr. Luan away. Throw him out. They sent Mr. Meng Liu into this room and put him on the bed."
