Chapter 198: Merciless

Heng Niang cast a disdainful glance at him and pursed her red lips. "Feeling sorry for her?"

Was he so eager to leave?

As soon as she said this, A Nan instantly caught a multitude of looks.

Liu Rumei frowned slightly as she looked at the disheveled Xue Jingjia on the ground. After all, Xue Jingjia was still A Nan's younger sister.

A Nan felt Liu Rumei's gaze. His eyes were filled with helplessness. "Heng Niang, you know I don't mean that."

Although Xue Jingjia was his own flesh and blood, there was no affection between them. Back then, considering her young age, he didn't argue with her. Before, he had already pleaded with Mo Liandi to save her once, which was considered a severance of this blood - relation. Her affairs had nothing to do with him anymore.

Seeing the grievance in A Nan's eyes, Heng Niang let out a cold snort. She stared angrily at Xue Jingjia. "I've never been so insulted in my life!"

A Nan had no choice but to hang his head and walk to the side. His eyes were full of grievance. He could only pray that Mo Liandi would take Liu Rumei away so that he could regain his position.

Mo Liandi immediately understood what A Nan meant. The corner of his mouth curled up, and he tightened his arms around Liu Rumei.

Yun Xi yawned and leaned lazily against Yun Li. Her face was full of drowsiness.

Xue Jingjia looked at A Nan beside her, stunned for a moment. Then she suddenly understood something and shouted angrily, "It's you! Why did you frame me!"

Xue Zhan's eyes were full of mockery. "Xue Jingjia, the truth has come out. What else do you want?"

He never thought that the skeleton was actually injured by her own hands. How old was she then? She was probably only twelve years old, but she could be so cruel.

Xue Changsheng looked at the disfigured body of Zhou Xudong on the ground. His eyes were full of chaos. He had lived for a few more years, but finally died at the hands of his own daughter. It was really tragic!

Xue Jingjia's face was as pale as paper. She crawled tremblingly in front of Xue Changsheng and cried, "Father, it's not me, Jia Jia. They framed me! How could Jia Jia kill someone? They colluded. Father, you must make the decision for Jia Jia!"

Xue Changsheng only felt extremely cold in his heart. He was extremely fortunate that this woman was not his child!

Immediately, he didn't give her a good look. He turned his back and refused to look at her.

Seeing Xue Changsheng like this, Xue Jingjia's face became even paler. "My lord, you must believe me. It wasn't me. They framed me. They all framed me!"

Mo Liandi's eyebrows were full of impatience. He cast a disdainful glance at Xue Zhan. The meaning in his eyes was self - evident.

Xue Zhan called the yamen runners who had been waiting at the door and said coldly, "Take her away!"

Xue Jingjia was really more terrifying than that woman back then.

"No! I'm innocent! I'm the eldest miss of the Sima Mansion. How dare you arrest me! Father, I'm innocent! Father!"

But no matter how much she shouted, Xue Changsheng didn't even look at her.

Xue Jingjia's eyes were full of despair. Looking at Liu Rumei carefully held in Mo Liandi's arms, her expression became even more ferocious. "Bitch, you framed me. I won't let you go even if I become a ghost. Bitch! You wait for me! I'll kill you."

A cold look flashed in Mo Liandi's eyes. He pulled Liu Rumei and left.

Yun Xi felt extremely strange. Clearly, it was this woman who had killed someone. Why did she blame her elder sister?

A Nan watched Mo Liandi leave with Liu Rumei. His eyes instantly lit up. He quickly took Heng Niang and left.

Xue Zhan waved the folding fan in his hand and bid farewell to Xue Changsheng. The farce in the Sima Mansion was over.

The servants who served Xue Jingjia were all extremely frightened. A person who could even kill her own father was simply merciless.

Xue Changsheng didn't suppress the matter of the Sima Mansion. Soon, it became well - known.

When Mo Litian learned about the matter of the Sima Mansion, he couldn't help frowning. He had met Xue Jingjia before, but he never thought that she was so heartless.

When he came to the Prince Guo'an's Mansion, he was led by Uncle Zhang to the West Garden. Seeing Mo Liandi coming out from beside Liu Rumei's room, the gentle smile on his face disappeared instantly. "Your Highness... You..."

Mo Liandi cast a disdainful glance at him and said coldly, "What's the purpose of Your Highness the Crown Prince's visit?"

Mo Litian's eyes were full of complexity. "I'm here to find Miss Liu."

Were they living together?

Just then, Liu Rumei opened the door. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw Mo Litian outside. "Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Uncle Zhang looked at the three people in the courtyard and couldn't help nodding secretly. He admired Mo Liandi very much. The prince was really farsighted.

"Your Highness, Your Highness the Princess. This old servant will take his leave."

Hearing Uncle Zhang's address, Mo Litian's expression became even more rigid. "I'm here to ask you about the matter of the Liu family."

Liu Rumei nodded. "This matter may not be simple."

Now the only suspect was the master of the Xu family, but unfortunately they had no evidence at all.

Under Mo Litian's gaze, Mo Liandi walked towards Liu Rumei. He put his big hand around her waist and sat down. "Do you need this prince's help?"

Over the past few days, Liu Rumei had already gotten used to Mo Liandi's occasional intimacy. She didn't react much. She nodded calmly. "Yes."

A smile appeared in Mo Liandi's eyes. He didn't hesitate to call Ye Zhe and asked him to investigate.

Seeing the intimate appearance of the two, Mo Litian felt as if his heart was being stabbed by a knife. But he took a deep breath and said to Liu Rumei, "Miss Liu, did the child of the Xu family really die of dry drowning?"

Liu Rumei frowned slightly. A look of unhappiness flashed in her eyes. "I don't lie. The child did die of dry drowning."

Sensing the unhappiness in Liu Rumei's tone, Mo Litian quickly said again, "Miss Liu, don't misunderstand. I don't mean to doubt you."

Mo Liandi said coldly, "Then what do you mean?"

Mo Litian sighed and said worriedly, "Before I came here, I took a special walk around. The case of the Liu family is very difficult. We must find out the truth as soon as possible! Miss Liu, you'd better not leave the Prince Guo'an's Mansion for the next few days."

Mo Liandi also sensed something was wrong. He glanced at Ye Zhe who hadn't left yet. Ye Zhe immediately understood and left.

Seeing that Mo Litian seemed to be hinting at something, Liu Rumei couldn't help frowning. "What's going on?"

Mo Litian was hesitating whether to tell her about this when Xue Zhan's careless voice came over. "It's just some boring trifles. Don't worry. It's aimed at Mo Liandi.

She's just an innocent victim.
