Before Xia Yueyin could reply, Lian Yu, who was originally crouching on the ground, immediately stood up and rushed towards the old man and dropped herself to the ground, kneeling in front of him. Tears streamed down his face like endless rain as he sobbed, “Master, you must avenge my brother. This woman had secretly stabbed him from behind! The attitude he showed clearly showed that he did not care about the Lian Family in his eyes! Please give us justice on behalf of the Lian Family !”
Lian Yu's petite body trembled, and her beautiful and gentle face was pale white. His eyes looked at Master Lian pleading. He looks so pathetic.
“What?”
Suddenly, a furious shout sounded from behind Master Lian and a gray-robed man appeared and rushed forward. He immediately approached Lian Ying's body and quickly raised his hand to check her pulse. He frowned…
“Master, Lian Ying has swallowed a deadly poison. There's no cure. He only has an hour to live.” Elder Huiyi turned towards Master Lian, who remained calm, and explained the situation.
Shortly after, Elder Huiyi turned towards Xia Yueyin and glared at her angrily, “Xia Yueyin. You have killed one of the Lian Family in our house. What should you say to yourself?”
“You said I was a killer?” Xia Yueyin smiled calmly, “Do you have any proof?”
“Business!” Elder Huiyi became extremely angry.
Lian Ying was one of the most talented people among distant relatives. Elder Huiyi had always looked at him well and only needed the opportunity to give his recommendation to the Master. He didn't expect this to happen. How can he tolerate this?
Especially since this woman's arrogance pretty much penetrated all the way to Heaven. He actually dared to commit murder in the Lian Family residence. Where did he get that kind of ambition and courage?
“Master, we can prove this!” Hearing this, various voices came from the crowd.
“We, along with Lian Ying, kindly told Xia Yueyin about the rules in the Lian Family. Who would have thought this woman was too arrogant and used the fact that she was the Master of the Secret Order Hall so she did not take it. Furthermore, he had a chance to fight with Lian Ying, maybe that was when he poisoned her!”
“It's true. Everyone here had seen his temperament with his own eyes, he killed Lian Ying!”
The crowd exploded into discussion, blaming their intention to inflict trouble onto Xia Yueyin's shoulders.
“If that's the case, when Lian Ying raises her hand to hit me, and I can't fight back, then what will happen?” Xia Yueyin smiled calmly. He showed no sadness over his current situation. His eyes were as clear as water as if he could see through one's soul.
Master Lian's expression turned serious, her dignified gaze now fixed on the kneeling Lian Yu and she asked firmly, “Did Xia's girl tell the truth? Was Lian Ying the first to attack?”
Lian Yu bit her lips, and gently nodded, “Regarding this matter, my brother is the one who made the first mistake. But Xia Yueyin could not kill him just because he caused trouble for her ..”
At this moment, Master Lian fell silent. A while later, his eyes turned to Xia Yueyin and asked, Little girl, did you poison Lian Ying?“
Xia Yueyin laughed softly and casually shrugged, “What do you think?”
“Master!”
Elder Huiyi's expression changed as she angrily retorted, “How can Family Master Lian break the law to support an outsider? I understand that you are worried about Eldest Young Master's illness and cannot offend Xia Yueyin, but show her blatant favoritism? In such a situation, how can we maintain our control over the City of Heaven? Please give justice to the Lian Ying brothers, on behalf of the Lian Family !”
“Please make a fair decision, Master!”
The entire courtyard knelt before Master Lian Zhentian, as Elder Huiyi grieved and lamented. If Master Lian chose to deliberately insist on her journey, there would be upheaval in the Lian Family.
Master Lian's face turned several levels darker. Forget about Lord Ling Xiao's orders, even he wouldn't execute Xia Yueyin for the sake of curing Lian Zixi's illness! Moreover, he was very confident that Xia Yueyin would never do such a thing.
“Dad!”
Seeing the increasingly ugly shadow on Master Lian's face, Lian Qi, who was standing beside her, quickly spoke in a soft voice, “I also believe that Miss Xia is not a vile person, either, unless a lot of people have witnessed it. If we remove this injustice from his hands, I fear it will be difficult to convince the masses. So, I have a suggestion.let Xia Yueyin be locked in the dungeon. When we have proof that he is innocent, we will make him free. What do you think?”
Lian Qi gave a fair enough suggestion, she was on her father's side and did not believe that Xia Yueyin would poison Lian Ying. But with so many accusations from so many people, showing favoritism would greatly disappoint the members of the Lian Family. So, it was best to lock him in the dungeon before making a decision.
Of course, once Xia Yueyin was thrown into the dungeon, Lian Qi would have many ways to kill her secretly, then told everyone that Xia Yueyin had committed suicide in an attempt to escape punishment. No one would suspect it was him!
“No!” Master Lian rejected Lian Qi's suggestion without thinking twice and glared at him before speaking calmly, “Don't involve yourself in this matter. When is the punishment against the criminals in the Lian Family your business? You better take care of your own behavior.”
Lian Qi's body trembled and his hands, hidden in his sleeves, clenched. He took a deep breath and calmed his anger. The warm smile on his face remained unchanged.
“Dad, I'm just trying to help you with the worries Dad has. Since Father is not willing, then I will not speak again. Only, if this problem is not resolved properly, many members of the Lian Family will become disappointed.” Lian Qi.
When no one was looking, a grin appeared at the corner of Lian Qi's lips. But it quickly disappeared and she returned to her warm and polite facade.
Lian Qi and Helian Ming both had similar characters. However, Helian Ming felt warm to the bone while Lian Qi's body was made of ice. Underneath his mask of warmth was a layer of undetectable hatred!
