At this moment, an old figure came out from the crowd.
She took off the cloak with wrinkled hands, staring at Gu Ning with hatred in her eyes.
"So what if I'm old?"
"It must be that you held grudges against Ruyan and had a youthful friendship with His Highness, so you killed Ruyan!" Mrs. Xiao said viciously, "Ruyan never thought of fighting with you! She never thought of fighting with you! Why did you Won't you spare her life?"
Mrs. Xiao was accusing Gu Ning every word and every word. Her face was old and she was no longer graceful before. At this moment, she stared at Gu Ning bitterly and raised her voice a lot.
"You are so ruthless! How can you be the queen of Chu?"
"Why don't you deserve it?" Gu Ning sneered, and strode up to Mrs. Xiao, she looked at Mrs. Xiao's eyes full of resentment, without moving her eyes, "Don't forget Mrs. Xiao, can your highness have Today, the reason why he was able to avenge his father and regain the throne is because the Pei family helped him escape from the East Palace many years ago! These years, it was my Pei family who secretly protected him, so that he escaped the repeated searches of Emperor Deposed !"
When Gu Ning spoke, his attitude was very arrogant.
Seeing Gu Ning's appearance, Mrs. Xiao secretly ridiculed Gu Ning in her heart for being young and energetic, and she didn't understand the importance of reputation at all.
However, Gu Ning's words immediately changed her expression.
"Your Xiao family let Xiao Ruyan marry an old man who is dozens of years older than you, making her life worse than death. Now that she is dead, you want to seek justice for her. Are you seeking justice for her? Or Do you want to cover up what you did secretly?"
Gu Ning chuckled lightly, step by step after all Mrs. Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao's face was calm and calm, but because of Gu Ning's words, it became extremely ugly.
She stared at Gu Ning for a long time, and finally said in a deep tone: "What do you mean by this? Princess Changning, don't think that you, as the princess, can turn black and white!"
"Ruyan is clearly the one who killed you!"
"Why should I harm Xiao Ruyan?" Gu Ning asked back, "What threat can Xiao Ruyan pose to me?"
"Regardless of appearance or talent, if you only talk about family background, would His Highness abandon the Pei family to win over your Xiao family? Don't forget that the Xiao family has fallen, and even in the south of the Yangtze River, it can only be regarded as a second-rate family! Compared with my Pei family?"
Listening to Gu Ning's words, Mrs. Xiao's face turned blue and purple, almost fainted by Gu Ning.
Gu Ning still continued to say: "Old Madam Xiao, why don't you let me explain the reason for you?"
"The reason why your Xiao family jumps over the wall in such a hurry is to cover up your actions of assisting the emperor to murder the Lu family!" Gu Ning smiled. Join forces with you secretly and let you intercept and kill the Lu family on the canal! Am I right?"
Mrs. Xiao has seen countless storms and experienced many things in her life. What she regrets the most is that she agreed to the request of Emperor Fei that year, and buried the entire Lu family on the canal for the sake of the Lu family's wealth.
She thought that this act could be kept hidden forever, knowing that she had heard about the existence of Lu Yuanyou.
In the assassination that year, Lu Shikai was far away in the capital. It can be said that Lu Yuanyou was the only survivor. She didn't dare to take chances anymore. She had to seize this opportunity to give Gu Ning a bad reputation, and then kill herself. The second daughter of the family took the opportunity to marry Xie Yan.
In this way, perhaps the Xiao family can be preserved.
However, today, some of her calculations were broken by Gu Ning.
Old Mrs. Xiao's face turned pale little by little, she was trembling, and just about to speak, she found that she couldn't speak at all.
Seeing this, Gu Ning sneered a few times.
At this moment, Lu Yuanyou walked out of the gate together with Lu Shikai.
As soon as he saw the hand that Xie Yan and Gu Ning held tightly, Lu Yuanyou felt his eyes hurt.
But soon, he came back to his senses, and his eyes fell on Mrs. Xiao.
As Yue Rong came to him and said a few words in a low voice, Lu Yuanyou sneered again and again.
"Okay! I didn't look for you, but you took the initiative to come to the door!" Lu Yuanyou strode to Gu Ning's side. He didn't like Gu Ning, and he deliberately blocked half of Gu Ning's body to show provocation.
Unexpectedly, Gu Ning's expression didn't change, and he walked directly behind Xie Yan, acting as if he was very afraid of him.
Seeing this, Lu Yuanyou's face turned green.
He has never seen Gu Ning who can pretend like this!
But his attention finally focused on Mrs. Xiao.
"Madam Xiao, long time no see." Lu Yuanyou squinted his eyes, staring at Madam Xiao closely.
The moment she saw Lu Yuanyou, Mrs. Xiao was so nervous that she couldn't breathe. She tightly squeezed the hand of the nurse beside her, and only then was she able to stand firm.
"General Lu..."
Mrs. Xiao is a very kind old man just by looking at her appearance.
No one would think that she is a cruel person at a glance.
However, the moment Lu Yuanyou saw Mrs. Xiao, he thought of the burning boat and the relatives who lost their lives on the boat.
Although Lu Yuanyou was smiling, the hatred in his eyes almost gushed out. He stared fixedly at Mrs. Xiao, and after a while, he showed a cruel smile.
"Mrs. Xiao, why did you have such an ugly look when you saw me?" Lu Yuanyou grinned, "Could it be that you have thought of something?"
"For example..." Lu Yuanyou said with a smile, "That boatload of people you personally ordered to kill? Our Lu family and your Xiao family were close friends for two generations, but these friendships are not as greedy as your Xiao family's." !"
Mrs. Xiao's lips trembled, she tried to say something, but after touching Lu Yuanyou's cold eyes, all words were held back in her heart.
"I..." Mrs. Xiao clasped the hand of the nanny beside her, trying to calm herself down, "General Lu, I'm afraid you have misunderstood, how can you believe what a yellow-haired girl says?"
"Our Xiao family has a good relationship with your Lu family for two generations. I ordered the Xiao family to do your parents' graves. How could I..."
"Other people may believe your rhetoric, but I..." Lu Yuanyou smiled, "I won't believe it."
"Old Madam Xiao, I was already 17 years old back then, and my eyesight was very good. I will never forget your appearance when you stood among the group of men in black."
When Lu Yuanyou said this, he quietly put his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Seeing this, Gu Ning immediately winked at Yue Rong.
Yue Rong and Ming De acted almost at the same time. They sent Lu Yuanyou a little far away from Madam Xiao. At least Lu Yuanyou couldn't kill Madam Xiao with a single strike.
Mrs. Xiao was keenly aware of the murderous look in Lu Yuanyou's eyes, and she immediately stepped back.
She no longer cared about arguing with Gu Ning. At this moment, she only had one thought in her mind - to leave the capital!
She was very sure that the incident was handled cleanly and would never leave any evidence. Even with Lu Yuanyou's testimony, it is absolutely impossible for the entire Xiao family to pay for the Lu family's life!
After this idea popped up in Mrs. Xiao's mind, she left the scene without hesitation.
Lu Yuanyou sneered when he saw Mrs. Xiao running away as if fleeing.
He glanced at Xie Yan, who had a gloomy face, and said inexplicably: "Xie Yan, it's not that uncle is soliciting discord, but that you, the fiancee, know too much. I have never told anyone about this matter." I said it, even the eldest brother."
Xie Yan's phoenix eyes lowered slightly, just when Lu Yuanyou thought that his sowing dissension was about to succeed, he saw Gu Ning grabbing Xie Yan's arm.
"Xie Yan, am I not smart enough?" Gu Ning opened his eyes wide and looked at Xie Yan innocently.
Seeing the intimacy of the two, Lu Yuanyou's teeth ached for a while.
But at this moment, Gu Ning wanted to get closer to Xie Yan.
Lu Yuanyou gritted his teeth and stared fixedly at Xie Yan.
He wanted to see if Xie Yan would still be deceived by this woman!
And at this moment, Xie Yan patted Gu Ning's head lightly: "Ning'er is the smartest person in the world."
Even Lu Shikai echoed: "I just heard what the princess said, and I was enlightened just now! No wonder the Xiao family has been acting very frequently these days! It turns out that they are guilty of what they did back then!"
Hearing this, Lu Yuanyou's eyes widened, and his eyes kept lingering on the three of them.
"Brother, forget about thanking the banquet! Could it be that you were also deceived by Gu Ning?" Lu Yuanyou gritted his teeth and said, "She obviously knew it a long time ago!"
Lu Yuanyou firmly believed that his disguise would never be seen through.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shikai stepped forward at this moment and patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Yuanyou, I don't know if Your Highness noticed it, but I found out from your actions that you treat Xiao The killing intent of the family."
"Thinking about it now, the only thing that can make you so angry is that incident back then."
What Lu Shikai said made Lu Yuanyou completely speechless.
He was angry in his heart, but he had no choice but to ride on the horse with big strides against Gu Ning's smiling eyes.
"Okay!" Lu Yuanyou said angrily, "I still have some things to do, so I won't waste time with you guys here!"
After finishing speaking, Lu Yuanyou raised his long whip, and the horse's hoof picked up dust, and he quickly left here.
Gu Ning bowed to Lu Shikai: "Thank you Uncle Lu for your help."
"Now you shouldn't be called Uncle Lu." Lu Shikai said with a smile, "You should accompany the Xie Yan and call me uncle."
Lu Shikai looked at Gu Ning, becoming more and more satisfied.
In this world, he could never find another person like Gu Ning who matched Xie Yan.
Seeing Lu Shikai's eyes, Gu Ning trembled in fear, and thought that Lu Shikai had seen through her disguise, but after waiting for a long time, she found that Lu Shikai still had that loving appearance, and she was relieved.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave, Lu Shikai changed the subject and asked, "Where's your mother? Now that the crisis in the capital is over, she should come back."
She took off the cloak with wrinkled hands, staring at Gu Ning with hatred in her eyes.
"So what if I'm old?"
"It must be that you held grudges against Ruyan and had a youthful friendship with His Highness, so you killed Ruyan!" Mrs. Xiao said viciously, "Ruyan never thought of fighting with you! She never thought of fighting with you! Why did you Won't you spare her life?"
