As a subordinate, Wei Yi was not qualified to speak, but he really couldn't listen anymore.
"Miss Gongsun, be careful. Don't listen to the nonsense outside."
Gongsun Jin slapped him again and shouted angrily: "My master has no right to speak, but you, a servant, have no right to speak."
Wei Yi was carrying the slap, unable to resist or defend.
Lu Xingyan's expression turned completely cold, and the whole study was filled with a chilly air that penetrated deep into his bones.
"Gongsun Jin, that's enough."
Lu Xingyan shouted angrily, and Gongsun Jin's raised hands were visibly frozen with a thin layer of ice.
Gongsun Jin was shocked.
She knew that Lu Xingyan had practiced ice-based techniques, but she had never seen him do anything.
Normally, Lu Xingyan would never attack her no matter how angry he was, so she dared to act unscrupulously.
Gongsun Jin felt like he was slowly losing control of his opponent, and a chill flowed through his body along with his spiritual power.
Everywhere I went, I felt like my blood was freezing.
She took out a deep breath of cold air and said in a trembling voice, "Lu, Lu Xingyan, what do you want to do? I am your fiancée, the eldest lady of the Gongsun family. You, you can't kill me."
Just when Gongsun Jin felt that his heart and lungs were about to freeze, the chill around him instantly shrank.
She clutched her heart and breathed heavily, glaring at Lu Xingyan with angry eyes.
Lu Xingyan didn't say a word and looked at him coldly, not even a threatening word.
But Gongsun Jin felt a pain in his heart.
She squeezed the two Xiuling Pills in her hands tightly, knowing that it would be useless to struggle any longer.
Lu Xingyan would definitely refuse to give her the remaining Xiuling Pill.
"Lu Xingyan, no matter what, Xiaoer is your son, you must give these two Xiuling Pills. This is what you owe our mother and son."
After all, she didn't care whether Lu Xingyan agreed or not and left with the Xiuling Pill.
Lu Xingyan spoke out to stop Wei Yi who wanted to stop him.
"Forget it, let her go."
Wei Yi didn't quite understand. The Lord clearly suspected that it wasn't Gongsun Jin who helped him suppress the curse, so why he was so reckless.
Lu Xingyan is not tolerant, but the matter has not been investigated clearly, and it is not time to fall out.
"Wei Yi, is there any news about Ji Mingyao that I asked you to investigate before?"
Wei Yi happened to be planning to report as well.
"The Ji family was silenced half a month ago, and at the same time, the Gongsun lineage in Pingyang was also silenced.
However, we caught a fish that slipped through the net. He was an aide of the Ji family for many years, named Zhao Weiyuan. According to him, the suppression was done by the Pingyang royal family."
Lu Xingyan was not surprised, he knew a thing or two about the secrets involved.
When I went to Pingyang Kingdom to investigate, it happened to be the day when the royal family was getting married to the Ji family.
The side branches of the Gongsun family and the Ji family have caused such a huge scandal to the royal family. It's strange that the royal family can tolerate them.
Although it is just a royal family of a small country, it still has royal dignity.
I think they must have given benefits to Gongsun's family, so that they could give up this useless lineage.
He doesn't care about the Ji family, what he cares about is Ji Mingyao's mother and son.
"Do Ji Mingyao and Ji Tianming have special blood?"
"My subordinates have investigated and found that Ji Mingyao does not have a special bloodline. Moreover, Ji Mingyao and Gongsun Han did hold a wedding. Everyone in Pingyang City knows about it.
Before the wedding, Ji Mingyao was just an ordinary girl, and she didn't even practice much.
The marriage contract between the two families was also made long ago.
These things were revealed by Zhao Weiyuan, and our people also went to Pingyang City to confirm them."
Wei Yi investigated carefully, and all information was confirmed on both sides, without ambiguity.
Lu Xingyan still felt something was wrong, "Where is Ji Tianming, do you have any explanation?"
"Zhao Weiyuan confessed that Ji Mingyao stole the family's treasure and was hunted by the family before escaping.
But he also said that stealing the treasure might just be a cover, and he was pursued because he discovered the adultery between Gongsun Han and Ji Fufu."
Indeed, in this case, the explanation becomes reasonable.
Lu Xingyan was a little disappointed, "It seems that it's really not her."
