“What?!”
Chu Pingke was very surprised, so he stood up and looked at Yan Lichen with disbelief and said, “Your Highness, what you said is true?”
Chu Nianhe also understood in his heart when he looked at his father’s appearance. Although Chu Leyan has not been loved by him since she was a child, she was a person who left the Chu Mansion, and it also represents the face of the Chu Mansion. Although she had not expected what happened today, she probably knew that this was the destined ending of Chu Leyan. People were not satisfied with their hearts, but she was afraid that Chu Leyan would take this path sooner or later.
She looked at Yan Lichen, stood up and helped her father, comforting her softly, “Don’t panic, let me hear what Your Highness said first.”
Chu Pingke sat down slowly after hearing her words, but his face was still unconscious: “Your Highness said it was the little girl who did it, but there is evidence? Little girl… Although the little girl likes to be clever and has a bit domineering temperament, she is a teenage girl, how could she have such a vicious mind?”
The implication was to ask Yan Lichen if she had wronged Chu Leyan.
Although Yan Lichen was extremely angry with Chu Leyan, he also understood that the person in front of him was not the person he should hate.
“I have found the Lord Chu whom she used to murder my son in the corner of her yard. You personally handed Chu Leyan to me. So, if I hadn’t grasped the evidence, I wouldn’t come to talk to you about this matter.” Yan Lichen looked at Chu Pingke with a calm look: “My identities are different from those of ordinary people. This case should not be plagued by the court or handed over to the prefecture. So today I came to see the Lord and wanted to discuss a perfect plan that would not harm the face of both families.”
He spoke sincerely, and Chu Pingke nodded repeatedly and was ashamed.
“Your Highness, you said so much that I am really ashamed of yourselves,” Chu Pingke sighed heavily: “This is a family scandal. At this time, your highness is still thinking about protecting the face of my Chu family. I really regret not educating this child well, and causing trouble for Your Highness.”
“You are so polite, sir.”
Yan Lichen pondered for a moment, and said, “Chu Leyan has been detained by me now, just waiting for you to speak, I will deal with her. You will not have any objection.”
Although his tone was light, Chu Nianhe still heard the ruthless meaning from his words.
Although Chu Leyan attacked the child, she was the one who took it upon herself, then again, Yan Lichen’s appearance looked very much like Chu Nianhe who had once dealt with her fiercely. Now it seems that she can’t help but feel shocked, and her heart trembles one after another.
“Your Highness’s meaning…”
Chu Pingke hesitated for a moment and asked, “Do you want to execute her?”
Looking at Yan Lichen, Chu Pingke’sThe face changed again, and his tone was a little depressed: “I can understand Your Highness’s thoughts. The little child is sick, which really makes his parents feel distressed. But then again, Your Highness, please don’t do this for the sake of her being my daughter…”
“Sir,”
Yan Lichen looked over gloomy, and his voice also raised a little: “Sir, do you mean to ask me to pardon your daughter?”
Chu Nianhe couldn’t help but look at Yan Lichen and tried to calmly say, “Your Highness, don’t be excited, and say something slowly.”
She really couldn’t stand Yan Lichen’s tone to his father. Thinking of the past when he destroyed his entire Chu family and let her die in that strange cage, she felt a hot flame rising in her chest, which made her whole body melt.
After hearing her words, Yan Lichen’s expression calmed down a little, and he sighed heavily and said, “I came to the Chu Mansion to discuss this matter today. I did not have the intention of asking you to agree to me to deal with Chu Leyan.”
As soon as these words came out, Chu Pingke looked at him in surprise.
“Your Highness means…”
“I mean,” Yan Lichen paused: “I want to send her to a temple I set up in the countryside.”
Chu Pingke was happy when he heard this, and thanked him for being grateful: “Thank you, Your Highness, for being forgiven. After this incident, I think she can understand where she was wrong. Your Highness made this decision also gave me face.”
Chu Pingke remembered this favor.
