Chapter 163: To blame

The voices of Linghu Zilu and the second wife rang one after another, and Man Yue slowly walked into the hall as they spoke.

A few days ago, did she ask the mugwort prepared by Ximeng to come in handy?

As Man Yue and the Third Lady walked into the hall, Linghu Hongxi was stunned when he saw the Third Lady, and then said coldly,

"Didn't you let you stay in the yard and think about your mistakes?"

"Don't calm down. I just walked past the third lady's yard and heard the third lady's heartfelt remorse. My daughter was moved and dared to bring the third lady over to admit her mistake with her father, and asked her father to forgive the third lady this time."

As the full moon spoke, the third lady immediately stepped forward to express her determination.

"Don't calm down, I really know that I'm wrong. I heard that my sister is here, I'm here to admit the mistake." The third lady knew the principle of being able to bend and stretch, and at the critical moment, she had to bow to Zhao Yu'er temporarily. Who said that Zhao Yu'er was in the limelight? Even the old lady couldn't do anything to her.

Beside Linghu Hongxi, Zhao Yu'er blinked and looked at the third wife.

I had long wished that the third lady would be stripped of her bones, but her face was still filled with a gentle smile with a light and gentle breeze.

"What my sister said? You and I have a deep affection. It is just a misunderstanding and will never affect our sister's relationship." Zhao Yu'er said, and bowed down and made a gesture of helping. The third lady took this opportunity to stand up and looked at Zhao Yu'er with gratitude and emotion, but her eyes were full of vigilance and dyke.

Man Yue and Zhao Yu'er are now the people who feel most at ease with Linghu Hongxi. They both spoke, and Linghu Hongxi also blamed the third wife much less.

Inside the house, the second wife and the old wife were both there.

When Man Yue greeted the old lady, the old lady had a light attitude, and it seemed much better than the cold face she had given her before.

The second wife and Linghu Zilu knelt in the middle of the room. Linghu Zilu had a gauze scarf on her face, covering her whole face. At this moment, she knelt weakly on the ground, trembling.

The second wife was holding her aside, for fear that she would faint at any time.

"Father, what's wrong?" Man Yue looked at Linghu Hongxi with a puzzled look on his face.

Linghu Hongxi's face was cold and cold, so angry that she couldn't speak.

Linghu Zilu, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up and stared at Man Yue fiercely. Although she only had one eye, her hatred towards her did not diminish at all.

"Miss, the master said that when I was in court today, I somehow got on the mugwort. The master has ordered people to thoroughly investigate the entire Marquis' Mansion, and only found mugwort in Miss Third's yard."

Zhao Yu'er explained to Man Yue and the third wife for Linghu Hongxi.

The third lady covered her mouth in surprise.

"Morca?! That's not a curse-"

The third lady didn't dare to say what she said later, but the old lady stared back with a fierce look.

Mugwort is an item used for tomb sweeping in Qingming Festival. It will not appear in the room on weekdays, and no one will plant mugwort in the yard. This is extremely unlucky, especially if someone in the court serves as an official, which is even more unfavorable.

Although Linghu Hongxi is considered an open father, Linghu Zilu planted mugwort in the yard, which obviously touched his bottom line. What's more, Linghu Hongxi is not the only one who is an official in the Marquis' Mansion, but also a full moon.

"A bad beast! If it weren't for the father's discovery in time today, this mugwort would have-"

If Linghu Hongxi brings mugwort into the palace, the entire marquis' mansion will suffer.

"Father! I don't! I don't!" Linghu Zilu begged Linghu Hongxi to believe her, but the evidence was conclusive. Linghu Hongxi did find the planted mugwort in Linghu Zilu's backyard, and a few dried mugwort trees were the same as the one on his clothes.

After the mugwort is dried, it is easy to scratch on the hem of the clothes and not notice it.

"You are not only planting mugwort, but also putting the dried mugwort in the backyard of Jianjia Pavilion. I think you accidentally missed a piece of mugwort when placing mugwort, so you were scratched by the hem of your father's clothes."

After Linghu Hongxi's words, everyone suddenly realized.

Linghu Hongxi has to go to court early every day, so he gets up very early, and often gets up before dawn. If Linghu Zilu wants to place mugwort in the backyard of the full moon, she must take advantage of the day before dawn.

However, Linghu Hongxi's actions this time were really perfect.

Even though he knew there was mugwort in the mansion, he did not show any signs before returning. Instead, he ordered Butler Tang to go to various yards to investigate thoroughly to ensure that everything was foolproof before he returned to the mansion to settle the score with Linghu Zilu.

I think it is because there have been too many things in the mansion recently. As a dignified marquis, Linghu Hongxi inevitably feels like she is led by the woman in the mansion, so this time Linghu Hongxi uses his own judgment as the basis.

It is precisely because of this that he now believes in his judgment more and believes that mugwort comes from Linghu Zilu's yard.

Seeing this, the second wife knew that Linghu Hongxi was determined to ask Zilu to leave the Hou Mansion. The second wife's eyes were filled with tears, and she was neither crying nor asking for help. But after all, she was her own daughter. Did she really watch her die outside?

The second lady looked at the old lady for help, and the old lady turned her face and looked elsewhere.

The old lady has had a cold relationship with Linghu Hongxi recently, and this time she was caught by Linghu Hongxi again. If the old lady spoke at this moment, she would clearly show her favor to the second wife, so the old lady would never say anything.

Besides, Linghu Zilu is already like this, and it is impossible to get married. Staying in the Marquis’ Mansion is a waste of food and accommodation. For chess pieces that have no value, the old lady hopes that she will disappear from her eyes as soon as possible.

Linghu Zilu has completely lost her value in the eyes of the old lady, so the old lady will not say a word for her.

Seeing this, the second lady suddenly turned around and knelt down and moved to the full moon, crying in tears,

"Full Moon! I know you are not in line with Zilu, but Zilu is your half-sister after all! She is young and ignorant, and now she has lost one eye. She knows that she is wrong, but this time the incident is really a misunderstanding. Zilu was framed!

Full Moon, you are the smartest! You can tell at a glance that there are conspiracies here! What does Zilu do for planting mugwort? Someone must have deliberately framed Zilu in order to use the master's hand to drive Zilu away! That person is the mastermind behind the scenes!"

The second lady held the hem of the full moon skirt tightly and cried bitterly.

For the sake of her daughter, the second wife was able to give up her face and kneel on the ground and beg for the full moon. This scene is indeed sad.

But - in the previous life, Man Yue had her own child. The child was buried at Lin Donghe's feet before she was born. She used to not even have the ability to protect the child. Has the second wife begged her now? But it was for the sake of a temporary need!

The Moon pulled out his clothes and looked at the second wife with a calm look.

"The second lady said there was a mastermind behind the scenes? That's why my father verified it wrong? Since that's the case, I'll ask the second lady to beg for my father. Man Yue is the last one to know about this matter. It's useless for the second lady to beg me. If I plead for my third sister, wouldn't that mean that what my father said before was wrong? Since what my father said was wrong, I'll ask the second lady to find the real mastermind behind the scenes to convince the public!"

The words of the full moon are in the sense of emotion and reason.

The second wife was speechless.

"Enough!" Linghu Hongxi looked at the second wife kneeling on the ground. At this moment, she had no respect for her and had only indescribable disappointment and disgust.

In the past, she made things difficult for the Moon and framed her, but now she kneeled down to beg for the Moon! What if he didn't notice the mugwort incident? Wouldn't the mother and the mother still continue to frame the Moon?

They actually thought that they were not worthy of forgiveness to use such a vicious trick to curse the mugwort!

"Master!!" The second wife shouted with a heartbroken expression.

"Dad! Dad!!" Linghu Zilu was also scared. She had one eye missing and was driven out of the Marquis' Mansion. There was no place for her to stand. All she had left was Qinglantern and civilians to accompany her.

"Miss Zhao! Miss Zhao, beg dad to save me! Dad loves you the most now, save me!" Linghu Zilu suddenly thought of Zhao Yuer.

Isn’t Zhao Yuer always easy to talk to?

Unexpectedly, as soon as Linghu Zilu said that the second wife suddenly turned around and covered her mouth.

"Don't ask her!"

The four words that almost blurted out were filled with a shrill murderous aura.

For a moment, everyone's faces changed.

Zhao Yu'er looked at her at a loss, as if she was scared by the second wife's words. She looked at her at a loss, then Linghu Hongxi, with a cramped and innocent expression on her face.

The old lady narrowed her eyes and lowered her head to meditate.

The third lady was completely watching the fun at this moment, but when the second lady suddenly spoke, the third lady was stunned and almost stood up.

Full Moon was silent and observed everyone's reaction.

The disappointment on Linghu Hongxi's face became even stronger.

"Li Xinjin! You are narrow-minded and dissatisfied with each other, and you are so arrogant and mean. Until now, you are obviously not disciplined by your daughter, but you are still making trouble here! If you don't teach you any lessons, you will really think that the Marquis' Mansion is the world of your Li family!"

Linghu Hongxi called out the full name of the second wife in public for the first time, but she was gritting her teeth with hatred.

The second lady was hugging Linghu Zilu tightly at this moment, and what she looked up was Zhao Yuer's seemingly innocent but actually shrewd eyes.

From the very beginning, she knew that Zhao Yu'er was coming back to take revenge! But she always thought that with the old lady, Zhao Yu'er would not enter the Marquis' Mansion no matter what! But now even the old lady couldn't persuade Linghu Hongxi. Zhao Yu'er moved into Bailuyuan as soon as she came back. What was the mood for her second house that had been in the second house for almost twenty years?

But Linghu Hongxi just admires Zhao Yu'er!

So just now when Linghu Zilu knelt on the ground and begged Zhao Yu'er, the second wife suddenly spoke to stop her! She knew Zhao Yu'er so well and she was back! Zhao Yu'er hated her even more than Linghu Manyue!

I also want her second wife to die!
