Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Unfazed

Yun Lei, the old madam, and Xuan Prince were irritated at what they heard the two talked about. Especially the part about selling the dowry and the boxes of jewelry from Xuan Prince.

Even though Yun Lei was annoyed beyond belief, he still calmed himself and said to Xiao Jiuyuan, “Your Highness, the reason why this servant invited your Highness is that Yun Qianyu was so bold as to murder someone. However, since she is the future princess consort of your Highness, I did not know what to do. Your Highness, please give us some guidance.”

Xiao Jiuyuan sat on one side of the main hall, leaning lazily, like an elegant lion king. However, his dark pupils were cold and demanded respect. For that reason, no one dared to speak and only waited for his answer.

Even Xiao Yechen and Yun Qianyu did not dare to speak.

Xiao Jiuyuan stretched out his slender hand, tapped gently on the table, and said slowly, “Investigate then. If she really killed someone, I won’t help her.”

As soon as Xiao Jiuyuan said that, Xiao Yechen frowned with displeasure and wanted to speak. However, when he saw Xiao Jiuyuan’s eyes, he did not dare to say anything.

Worried, he turned to look at Yun Qianyu.

Yun Qianyu shook her head gently and signaled him not to worry.

Seeing this, Xiao Yechen relaxed a little. He went to take a seat, but he didn’t forget to glare at Xiao Jiuyuan.

After Xiao Jiuyuan said that, everyone went to their seats.

The old madam and Yun Lei were very happy, especially Yun Lei.

Yun Qianyu, I’ll be able to deal with you after this. Li Prince has said that he will not help you out!

In the main hall, aside from Yun Lei, Liu Shi, and the old madam, Yun Qianxue was another person that would be happy.

But at this time, all her attention was on Xiao Jiuyuan. Although she tried hard not to look at Xiao Jiuyuan and maintain a noble look, if you looked closely, it was not difficult to see that her cheeks were slightly red. She even sat up straight, as if to show Xiao Jiuyuan her best side.

Unfortunately, no one had noticed her at all. Even Xiao Tianyi had not noticed what she was doing.

Everyone’s attention was now focused on Yun Qianyu.

Xiao Tianyi’s mind was also focused on Yun Qianyu. He thought seriously, if the ninth imperial uncle really doesn’t protect Yun Qianyu, would he really watch Yun Qianyu be punished by Yun Lei?

For some reason, Xiao Tianyi could not bear to see Yun Qianyu be punished.

In the main hall, everyone had their own thoughts. Yun Lei and the old madam, however, were eagerly waiting to punish Yun Qianyu.

The old madam glared at Yun Qianyu and said, “Yun Qianyu, I’ll give you a chance to make up for your mistakes. If you are honest and kowtow to Nanny Jia for your crimes, then we won’t be too hard on you. If you don’t, we will bring out the evidence then punish you severely.”

Yun Qianyu sneered and looked at the old madam. She thought to herself, does this old woman take me for a fool? Admitting to a crime that I did not do? Yeah right.

“Since the old madam believes that her granddaughter had killed someone, the old madam should present the so-called evidence here.”

The old madam sneered and said, “I guess you won’t shed a tear until you see your grave.”
