The smile on Mo Liandi's face deepened a bit. He leisurely poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Marquis Huaiyuan, you'd better think it through. Is it really worth gambling the entire Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion for just one daughter? The Prince of Guoan loathes the Princess Anning to the extreme. Daughters can be born again, but once you lose your life, you lose everything."
"Moreover, given Mo Liandi's temperament, if he finds out that Miss Liu died at the hands of the Princess Anning, do you think he'll spare the Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion? Even if you manage to keep this a secret, do you think the Princess Anning can really enter the Prince of Guoan's Mansion as she wishes?"
Judging from Mo Liandi's temper, if the Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion uses any means to force the issue, Mo Liandi will surely resist to the death, and the entire Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion will be dragged into the mess!
Marquis Huaiyuan's heart sank slightly. He had to admit that Mo Litian's words made sense. Mo Liandi simply didn't like Yan'er. Now that Mo Liandi had traced the matter back to the Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion, it was probably because he had his suspicions.
Even if Yan'er were to marry into the Prince of Guoan's Mansion, it was unlikely that the Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion would gain any benefits!
But when he thought of his beloved daughter who he had doted on for so many years, he felt reluctant to let her go!
No!
"You're stalling for time!" Trying to buy more time for Mo Liandi!
What a Mo Litian! He had lived most of his life, and he had almost stumbled over this young man!
Mo Litian remained calm. There was still that gentle smile on his face, looking completely harmless. "Everything I said makes sense, Marquis Huaiyuan. You can think it over carefully. As for stalling for time, I'm just giving you time to consider. The decision is entirely up to you. I believe you won't sacrifice the greater for the lesser."
Ye Zhe, standing by the side, curled the corner of his mouth. As expected, the person who could ascend to the position of the Crown Prince wasn't a fool.
This Marquis Huaiyuan was cautious to a fault. To put it bluntly, he was just a coward!
He hoped that the Princess would be able to hold on until the Prince arrived!
Marquis Huaiyuan never expected to be accused instead. He had intended to force Mo Litian to make a choice, but now he had been pushed into a dilemma.
On one hand was his daughter who he had raised for many years, and on the other hand was the entire Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion...
At this moment.
Mo Liandi's eyes were filled with a sinister look. Uncle Zhang followed him at a moderate distance. Buyou shook his head and sighed.
The Yun brothers, Yun Xi and Yun Li, were also full of anger. They regretted not staying at the coroner's office!
Xue Zhan stood by the side, touching his nose. This person really had a death wish. He dared to pluck hair from the tiger's mouth!
"Hey, you'd better take it easy. It'll be hard for me to explain!" As the Chief Magistrate, he was in a rather awkward position.
However, at this moment, Mo Liandi didn't listen at all. His eyes were filled with coldness. Finally, he couldn't hold back and got up, walking towards the door.
The Yun brothers quickly wanted to follow, but were stopped by Xue Zhan. "What are you two kids doing? Stop causing trouble!"
He threw them to Uncle Zhang and then quickly followed. "Where are you going?"
"To the Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion!"
That icy voice made Xue Zhan tremble. "Do you have any evidence that it was the Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion who captured her?"
The answer he got was an extremely arrogant remark. "My words are the evidence!"
The Princess Ning Yan'er was the only one who had been to the coroner's office. Even if it wasn't the Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion, they must be involved somehow.
He should have killed that woman directly back then. He knew that keeping her would bring trouble to Liu Liu!
Hearing such an arrogant remark, Xue Zhan's temple twitched. "Don't forget there's someone else watching you!"
Mo Liandi didn't stop at all. He stubbornly headed towards the Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion. "The Princess Anning spread rumors and slandered my Princess. It's only reasonable for me to ask her for an explanation!"
Xue Zhan was slightly stunned. He had forgotten about this. The rumors had spread so widely, and the Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion must have contributed to it!
He took out the folding fan from his sleeve and curled the corner of his mouth. Since it was for this matter, he, as the Chief Magistrate, should also go!
"I'll go with you!"
When they arrived, they saw Mo Litian and Marquis Huaiyuan chatting happily.
Ye Zhe was overjoyed. He quickly stepped forward and whispered something in Mo Liandi's ear.
Marquis Huaiyuan looked at the imposing Mo Liandi with fear in his heart. He couldn't help but swallow hard and stepped forward respectfully. "My daughter was rude and offended the Princess of Guoan. I've already sent people to arrest her."
What the Crown Prince said was right. If he rashly killed the Crown Prince and Yan'er couldn't gain Mo Liandi's favor, then once Mo Liandi found out the truth, the Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion would be doomed.
Thinking of this, Marquis Huaiyuan sighed deeply. Yan'er, don't blame your father. Father is doing this for the sake of the Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion!
If the Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion were to fall because of him, how could he face the ancestors of the Ning family after his death?
As the Crown Prince said, children could be born again, but there was only one Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion.
Mo Liandi glanced coldly at Mo Litian, who was sitting leisurely. His eyes were filled with ice.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on Marquis Huaiyuan. "If anything happens to Liu Liu, I'll make the entire Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion pay with their lives!"
Hearing this, Marquis Huaiyuan's heart skipped a beat. A chill ran down his spine. Such a man was beyond Yan'er's control!
He was secretly glad that he hadn't made a foolish decision. Otherwise, the entire Marquis Huaiyuan's Mansion might have been destroyed.
Mo Litian also let out a sigh of relief, but there was a bitter smile on his face. This was all he could do.
Xue Zhan originally thought he could watch a good show, but unexpectedly, Mo Litian had already defused the situation. He felt extremely disappointed.
Meanwhile.
Ning Yan'er's eyes were filled with madness. Watching Liu Rumei being thrown into the mass grave, she felt extremely delighted.
A Bi stood respectfully by the side. The strong stench in the air and the countless mutilated corpses in front of her made her shiver.
Looking at the hideous expression on Ning Yan'er's face, she felt disgusted, but she didn't say a word.
It was all Liu Rumei's fault for being so ignorant. She had to snatch what belonged to the Princess. She deserved this fate!
At this moment, Liu Rumei was weak all over. Her body was tied up, and she couldn't speak. Her nose was filled with the stench. All she could see were the decaying corpses with maggots wriggling on them, which made her want to vomit.
She finally understood why Xue Zhan was so afraid. A bitter smile appeared on her face. If she didn't leave quickly, she would become one of them.
