Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 578 - 576

Chapter 578: Chapter 576

"Mrs. Li is right, Li Fu indeed entered later, and Feng Yang only appeared in that mansion because he followed behind Li Fu!" Xiao’er nodded her head, agreeing wholeheartedly.

Mrs. Li: ...

This was tantamount to once again associating the kidnapping and extortion of the Rui’an County Miss with them!

"Since Li Mingfang wasn’t killed by Feng Yang, Mrs. Li, could you explain why you ordered someone to kidnap the Rui’an County Miss and extort 200,000 taels from Marquis Shengping?" Shangguan Xuanyi asked.

"I didn’t, this matter wasn’t ordered by me!" Mrs. Li hurriedly denied when she heard this.

Li Fu was already dead, and there was no way to verify the matter; she would absolutely not admit it.

Li Mingjun was also unable to figure it out. The plan was perfect, so how did Li Fu get discovered and secretly followed by Feng Yang? A perfect plan ruined!

Furthermore, Mingfang indeed had an appointment with Li Fu at that mansion, how come she was killed and moved to that mansion?

Who on earth did Mingfang meet along the way, that led her to be killed?

Why on earth did Li Fu commit suicide!

Li Mingjun couldn’t comprehend it, but his sister couldn’t die in vain!

"The Emperor ordered a tripartite trial to find the real murderer of my sister. Isn’t Sixth Prince now making a fuss over unimportant matters by raising this issue?!" Li Mingjun said indignantly!

The murderer of his sister hadn’t been found yet, and a mere kidnapping case of Rui’an County Miss was suddenly more important than the murder case of a deputy general. It’s simply the world’s biggest anomaly!

"Hasn’t Miss Li’s death already been determined to not be Feng Yang’s doing? Then this case is closed! As for who the murderer is that you find later, just capture him and have a tripartite trial then! Now that this case is closed, it’s naturally time to deal with the more important kidnapping case!" Shangguan Xuanyi said so provocatively.

The more important kidnapping case, Mrs. Li almost died of anger hearing this!

Her daughter who died loyalty to the country was less important than the case of the useless woman’s kidnapping!

The Li family lost a lot of people their due to their loyalty, in the end, they were unable to bring the real murderer of their daughter to justice, is this how the Sixth Prince treats their family? The so-called dying loyalty to the country is simply a joke!

"Three lords, as for the kidnapping of Rui’an County Miss, I entrust you to capture Mrs. Li and Li Mingjun and interrogate them thoroughly! As for the death of Miss Li, I believe Mr. Yang knows it the best, you take him back and interrogate him thoroughly! If they all remain silent, the instruments of torture in the cell aren’t for show!"

He means that if they don’t confess honestly, they would be subjected to harsh torture!

"Wait, the matter of Rui’an County Miss being kidnapped is not our doing, why capture us?" Li Mingjun said somewhat panic-strickenly, how did it suddenly turn into capturing them into the prison? His sister’s death is still a mystery!

"Yes! The real murderer of Mingfang hasn’t been found, but they are capturing us, a pair of bereaved mother and son, into the dungeon! Are they bullying that there’s no one from our Li family left? You should know that my husband is stationed in the northwest! He is a general!"

Xiao’er almost laughed out loud at Mrs. Li contradicting herself.

One moment she cried about being a pair of bereaved mother and son, and there was no one left in the Li family, and the next moment she claimed that her husband was a great general! Hinting that there was someone backing them! So does the Li family have people, or does it not?

"A prince who breaks the law is the same as a commoner; even I, this prince, was being trialed by the tripartite court today! So, when a family member of General Li commits a crime, can they not be tried? Is General Li higher than this prince?" Shangguan Xuanyi sat there, in the most arrogant manner possible!

He was using his status to oppress them, what could they do about it?

Mrs. Li was completely choked by these words!

With such an arrogant demeanor, sitting in the most honorable place, how was this called being tried by the tripartite court?

Those standing at the bottom of the court were more like being tried!

But the statement that General Li was higher than the Sixth Prince, Mrs. Li did not dare to utter!

This world belonged to the royal family, the most noble identities naturally belong to the royal family!

"There is no evidence proving that we ordered someone to kidnap Rui’an County Miss, why capture me!"

"Li Fu is the Li family’s home-born son, who else would he obey if not the Li family’s master? I remember Mrs. Li once said that Li Fu is a loyal home-born son, how come the person who Mrs. Li considers most loyal is now disloyal? Mrs. Li, your remarks are inconsistent, how is one to believe what you say!" Xiao’er pointed out her inconsistency.

"I don’t know who else Li Fu obeys. If you want to know, as him! In any case, no one in my family ordered him to kidnap you!" Mrs. Li said evasively.

On hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi gave Mrs. Li a glance that could kill: "Take them away! Make sure to interrogate them thoroughly!"

Shangguan Xuanyi deliberately emphasized the words "thoroughly".

Mrs. Li gave a shudder on hearing this, then struggled frantically.

No matter how the three of them argued and struggled, Mrs. Li, Li Mingjun, and Mr. Yang were all locked up in the dungeon.

Shangguan Xuanyi left the government office with Xiao’er and sent her back to Marquis Shengping’s mansion.

The officials of the three judicial departments wiped the non-existent cold sweat on their foreheads. Fortunately, they had the foresight not to offend the Sixth Prince rashly.

As for Mr. Yang attempting to slander the Sixth Prince, the three lords felt it was clearly a case of the mantis trying to block the chariot!

Li Mansion

The Madam Li got the news and nearly passed out due to the shock.

She was supposed to seek justice for her tragically killed granddaughter, but the result was an involvement in a kidnapping case, implicating herself in it!

Mrs. Li had her maid prepare brush, ink, paper and inkstone; she would personally write a letter to her son!

After writing the letter, the Madam Li visits her daughter-in-law and grandson in the dungeon, supporting her old bones.

"Did you two really order the kidnapping of Rui’an County Miss!" Madam Li stared at Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li avoided her gaze upon hearing Madam Li’s words.

Madam Li understood everything from her expression!

"Disaster! Disaster!" Madam Li almost shed tears hearing this; how were they capable of committing such an act!

Without sufficient power and smart enough brains, why didn’t they have a little bit self-awareness?

Now, perfectly good, they were caught by someone with evidence!

Rui’an County Miss was half royalty, implicated in the kidnapping of the future Sixth Prince’s wife and blackmailing 200,000 taels! If this matter was confirmed, wiping out the whole family was possible!

Forget that Mingfang was not killed by the Sixth Prince; even if she really was, they deserved it!

All the fame and fortune their Li family had gained over generations with their blood would disappear!

Mrs. Li, with unsteady footsteps, walked out of the dungeon and back to the Li Mansion to think of a solution.

They must not let this matter destroy the entire Li family!
