The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Chapter 171: Not even 1 point left

Xia Liu was sweating profusely. He didn't know whether Mo Yuchen had any substantial evidence, but the most important thing now was to keep Xia Yanxiang in the Xia Mansion. He absolutely could not admit this matter: "What does your highness Prince Luo mean? Yan'er is my legitimate daughter. How could I deliberately let someone ruin her reputation?"

Mo Yuchen stared at Xia Liu straightly, making Xia Liu feel creepy.

"Sir Shangshu, is it true? Then why did you insist on not letting me get involved and even deliberately pushed the matter to Madam Tu?"

Mo Yuchen had already seen that it was obvious that Xia Liu had failed to accomplish her mission, and in order to clear herself of suspicion, she was planning to push the blame onto Tu Ling.

Not only Mo Yuchen, Xia Yanxiang must have discovered it as well.

Xia Liu smiled awkwardly and said, "This is originally a family affair of the Xia family. How can we let His Royal Highness Prince Luo get tired of it?"

"Oh, since it was a family matter then, it is not a family matter now," Mo Yuchen pointed his sharp eyes at Xia Liu, "I am also Yanyan's fiancé now, so I should be able to intervene in this matter."

Xia Liu didn't expect Mo Yuchen to keep pestering her. Her eyes moved around evasively, not knowing how to respond.

Just when Xia Liu was still thinking about how to escape, Tu Ling rushed up and slapped Xia Liu hard.

"You villain! Yan'er is your own daughter! How could you have the heart to do that to her?!"

Tu Ling really hated herself. How could she be so blind as to marry such a villain! He could even do such a thing to his own daughter!

"Tu Ling! You shrew!" Tu Ling used all his strength but only managed to knock Xia Liu to the side.

The result of not being able to completely subdue Xia Liu was that Xia Liu immediately turned around and grabbed Tu Ling's hand, pulled Tu Ling in front of her, and said viciously: "I have tolerated you for a long time! You shrew!"

"Xia Liu, you are shameless! You can actually do such a thing to your own daughter! Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?!" Tu Ling was not to be outdone and roared back angrily.

Shen was careless for a moment and only reacted when Tu Ling was caught by Xia Liu. She rushed over and rescued Tu Ling from Xia Liu.

"A Ling!"

The scene became chaotic for a moment. Shen Shi failed to stop Tu Ling, so she simply gave up and started fighting with Xia Liu.

Yang Jin also went up here. Although Xia Liu didn't dare to really attack Tu Ling, he couldn't just stand there and let Tu Ling and Shen beat him.

Xia Liu didn't dare to really fight, but Yang Jin could. When women fight, they only use those few fighting methods. Unfortunately, Shen was born a military general, and she was ruthless when she started fighting.

In this fight, it was almost as if Xia Liu and Yang Jin were being beaten.

Except for Xia Pinxiang, no one else present had any intention of stepping forward to stop it.

Xia Pinxiang wanted to stand up and help several times but was stopped by Mo Yuyang.

Xia Pinxiang is no longer a concubine of the Xia family. She cannot do many things as she pleases. Xia Pinxiang is now the concubine of Prince Yuan and represents the face of Mo Fuyang. How could Mo Fuyang let Xia Pinxiang go up and fight like a shrew?

"Your Highness!" Xia Pinxiang was unwilling. Was she going to watch her mother being beaten by Tu Ling and Shen?

"That's enough, you can only watch!" Mo Yuyang warned Xia Pinxiang in a low voice.

Mo Fuchen was watching coldly from the side, and when he saw Mo Fuyang's expression he knew that Mo Fuyang must want Xia Pinxiang to watch over him and would not allow Xia Pinxiang to help.

Hu Yuan was extremely panicked. He didn't expect a fight to break out. He quickly stood up to stop the fight: "Madam! Madam! Calm down!"

Hu Yuan's attempt to stop the fight was just verbal and without any substantial action. He could only shout and wave his hands up and down, trying to calm Tu Ling and Shen down.

Seeing that Tu Ling was running out of strength, Tu Song and Xia Zhibai looked at each other, stepped forward and grabbed Tu Ling and Shen: "Alright!"

Tu Ling's eyes were still bloodshot, and she was still a little indignant at being stopped by her own son and brother.

It was finally over. Hu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief cautiously and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. If the fight continued, he would be the first to lose his life, and then he, the Jingzhao Yin.

After the fight ended, Mo Yuchen spoke again, "The Minister intends to destroy the reputation of his own daughter. In my opinion, it is inappropriate to let the third young lady stay in the Xia Mansion."

"Your Highness Prince Luo, I'm afraid it's hard to believe what you said with all your strength, right?" Xia Liu said with a grin.

There were two bloody scratches on Xia Liu's face, and her hair was messed up. Yang Jin was even worse off, as he was even hit twice in the eyes by Shen, and his face was swollen.

Although Yang Jin was obviously more seriously injured, he still helped Xia Liu take two steps back.

"If Your Highness Prince Luo wants to help the Tu family slander me, he must produce evidence to convince me. After all, Lord Hu, the Jingzhao Yin, is also here." Xia Liu took two deep breaths and spat, as if to provoke Mo Yuchen.

Mo Yuchen chuckled: "Don't worry, Lord Shangshu. If I don't have evidence, I will definitely not tell this matter."

Xia Liu was stunned. Could it be that Mo Yuchen really had evidence from that time?

How is that possible? Didn’t he leave any evidence at all?

Xia Liu was unsure whether Mo Yuchen was deceiving him, and said suspiciously: "If Your Highness Prince Luo has evidence, why not just show it directly? Why be vague about it?"

"That thief is not just any thief, right?" Mo Yuchen didn't check, but that doesn't mean Xia Yanxiang didn't either. "As far as I know, that man was actually a homeless man that the Minister had rescued before. But the Minister thought he was useful, so he kept him in a farm in the countryside. My Lord, am I right?"

Xia Liu was actually panicked after hearing Mo Yuchen's first words. She listened to the whole thing. Mo Yuchen did not produce any evidence, but what he said was true.

Now Xia Liu was even more unsure whether Mo Yuchen had something in his hand.

Seeing Xia Liu's expression, Tu Ling had nothing to understand and he even wanted to tear Xia Liu to pieces.

Mo Yuchen opened the folding fan in his hand and fanned it twice casually, with a look of understanding on his face: "Sir Shangshu, do you still need me to produce solid evidence?"

Xia Liu avoided eyes and felt extremely guilty.

"If the Minister does not want this matter to be leaked out and affect the reputation of the concubine and your future official reputation, you might as well agree to the Tu family and let the third lady and Liu Ying and her son leave." Mo Yuchen deliberately paused and mentioned Xia Pinxiang's identity.

Xia Pinxiang was suddenly called out, and her heart started to panic. Her expression changed and she stared at Xia Liu in panic.

Xia Liu saw Xia Pinxiang's eyes, but she was too unwilling to open her mouth.

After all, once he agreed, the bait of the huge fish, Xia Yanxiang, would be gone.

Just because of this one handle, do we have to give up everything we have?

Moreover, as long as Xia Liu agreed, Tu Ling would definitely not be able to keep a single cent of her dowry.
