I traveled through time with my best friend.

Chapter 251: The mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole.

When Lin Wanwan saw the madam, her expression changed drastically and she silently clutched her sleeves.

The madam looked around and locked her sight on Madam Wang standing nearby. She then pointed at her and said excitedly, "It was her, this person. She brought Miss Lin to Yihong Courtyard and said that she was a maid who had committed a crime in the mansion and wanted to sell her to me. I saw that the girl was pretty, so I agreed to take her."

When Madam Wang heard this, she immediately lost all her strength and knelt on the ground, then kowtowed to Lin Yanfu and said, "Master, it's not true. There is indeed a maid in the mansion who committed a crime, but I definitely did not kidnap the young lady."

"You are still being stubborn. If I was dazzled, could it be that everyone in Yihong Courtyard was mistaken? Fortunately, I kept a record and drew a portrait of the girl that day." As he said this, he took it out of his arms.

Zhu Feng took the portrait and handed it to Lin Yanfu.

Lin Yanfu took the portrait and looked at it. He saw that the person in the painting had closed eyes, and his hands and feet were tied. The person was drawn while still in a sack. Who else could that familiar face be but his daughter?

"Evil woman!" Lin Yanfu stood up from the chair in anger and threw the portrait in his hand down.

Zeng Qin's heart sank as she looked at the portrait. It was over, all over.

The people standing by watched this unexpected scene and thought that it was the arrogant young lady bullying her elders, but they did not expect that it was the heartless lady who wanted to wipe out the root of the problem.

In an instant, the people's words turned to Lin Yiyi's side.

Zeng Qin panicked, then looked at Lin Yanfu and said, "Master, do you really not believe me?"

"With all the evidence, how can I trust you?"

"Dad, mother is innocent."

"Humph, innocent, I think she is very brave."

Lin Yiyi raised the corners of her mouth, and then she knelt down pretending to be wronged, "Father, it's all my fault. It's because of me that there is no peace in the mansion. If I had gone with mother, Madam wouldn't have become like this."

Lin Yanfu frowned and quickly helped Lin Yiyi up, "What are you talking about? You are a legitimate daughter. Don't you think my huge prime minister's mansion can accommodate you?"

"Father..." Lin Yiyi said and started crying softly.

Zeng Qin saw that Lin Yanfu was so gentle to Lin Yiyi, so she stood up angrily and asked, "Master, Wan'er is also your daughter. She has been harmed by Lin Yiyi. Have you ever cared about her?"

"Yes, father." Lin Wanwan looked at Lin Yanfu aggrievedly.

Lin Yanfu was soft-hearted, after all, they were his daughters, so he looked at Lin Yiyi and said, "Yier, Wan'er's face..."

"It's not me." Lin Yiyi shook her head softly.

Someone from the crowd said, "Could it be that the second young lady took some kind of poison in order to frame the eldest young lady?"

Zeng Qin looked over with resentment, "Shut up, would my daughter joke about her own life?"

"You guys can't do anything other than frame the young lady by using a self-torture trick?"

"you....."

"I can cure her poison." Jiang Xue's voice suddenly came from the tree.

Everyone looked towards the tree behind them, and saw a white figure gently leaping down from the tree.

"Miss Jiang!" Someone in the crowd was surprised.

Jiang Xue waved with a smile, "It's me."

Then he walked towards the gate of the mansion with light steps, and the crowd automatically made way for him.

"Ms. Jiang, I'm so glad you're okay. The person who framed you is so heartless that he even tried to replace the original with the fake."

Jiang Xue heard someone in the crowd say this and stopped walking. Then she walked towards the person who was speaking. It was a man with a simple face and dark skin. Jiang Xue patted the man on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Well said."

"Hehe, Miss Jiang is kind-hearted. If Pu Sheng hadn't been taken care of by you, he would have died in that disaster."

"I remember Park Sheng seemed to have only one sister?"

"Yes, I am his neighbor. I was the one who took care of Park Sang's sister during his illness."

"good."

Zeng Qin looked at Jiang Xue, slightly panicked, and then pointed at Jiang Xue and shouted, "It was her. It was Lin Yiyi and Jiang Xue who caused Wan'er to become like this. Jiang Xue, don't deny it?"

Jiang Xue looked at Zeng Qin and walked forward slowly with a smile on her face. When she was in front of Zeng Qin, she suddenly said innocently, "Madam, you are really good at wrongly accusing people. I have been missing for a few days and only appeared today. How did I poison your daughter?"

"It was last night when you broke into the Lin residence and threatened me with a snake."

"Madam, you must be suffering from some kind of hysteria. How can I, a woman, carry such a scary snake with me?"

"Jiang Xue, it's you, and you're still quibbling!" Lin Wanwan suddenly stood up and yelled at Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue looked innocently at the housekeeper standing behind Lin Yanfu and said, "If it was really me who entered the Lin Mansion, then the housekeeper must know about it. So must the other people in the mansion. Why not ask them all?"

Zeng Qin walked up to the housekeeper anxiously and asked, "Did Jiang Xue come to the Lin Mansion last night?"

The housekeeper shook his head in horror and said, "Madam, everything was normal at the mansion yesterday, and... Miss Jiang did not come."

"You're lying!" Zeng Qin yelled at the housekeeper.

The butler quickly lowered his head and dared not say a word.

Jiang Xue covered her face and cried softly as she looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "It is said that Lord Pei of the Jinyiwei is a god at solving cases. No one can lie in front of you. Lord Pei, please take a good look to see if the lady is framing or if the daughter is lying."

Zeng Qin looked at Jiang Xue with vicious eyes. She was the winner today, so why did it turn out like this? How did Lin Yiyi find Shuang Ning? Why did the housekeeper protect Jiang Xue?

"Jiang Xue, you bitch, I'm going to tear your mouth apart!" Zeng Qin roared and ran towards Jiang Xue.

Pei Zhijin's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly stood up from the chair, blocking Zeng Qin with his sword, and then pushed Zeng Qin away, quickly put the sword back to his waist, and said coldly: "The imperial prison has many punishments. If Madam refuses to admit it, I don't mind inviting Madam to sit in the imperial prison?"

When Zeng Qin heard that she was going to be imprisoned, her temper softened immediately. She looked at Lin Yanfu and cried, "Master, do you really want to watch outsiders bully me? Even if I have a thousand faults, I am still the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion. How can I endure such humiliation!"

Lin Yanfu held his head with his hand, and Minister Lou stood up from his chair, bowed slightly to Lin Yanfu and said, "Prime Minister, I will report today's events to His Majesty truthfully. Please handle the rest of the matter behind closed doors."

"it is good."

"Wait a minute!" A clear and handsome voice sounded not far away.

When Lin Yiyi saw the person coming, the corners of her mouth curled up silently. Now, this was the only thing left to completely bring down Zeng Qin.

He signaled with his eyes that Zhufeng should take Shuang Ning away first.

Minister Lou looked at the young marquis who was already in front of him, bowed slightly and asked, "Why are you here, young marquis?"

"I have some information here about what the Prime Minister's wife did privately. Please give it to Your Majesty, Minister Lou." Wang Ziyan said as he handed the memorial to Minister Lou.
