Chapter 109 I am not a jackal, tiger or leopard, what are you afraid of?
If anyone offends me, I will retaliate.
Baili Feng showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and his expression became gloomy: "I told you that you are sharp-tongued, and it is true. Su He, don't think about angering me. Even if the prince ascends the throne in the future, I am still a vassal king. It will be as easy as playing with mud to crush you and the Su family!"
Su He frowned slightly and replied in a deep voice: "The Second Prince is worshipped by the people, but he calls for killing them like this? No wonder, the Crown Prince has the support of the people, but you have nothing."
"you……"
"So the Madam is here? It really took me a while to find her."
A gentle and cold voice sounded beside her ear. Lu Huaihe stepped over and walked to Su He with a spring breeze and a smile. He naturally embraced her and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say you would come back after visiting? What took you so long?"
"I……"
Seeing him, Su He, who had been tense all the time, finally let down her guard. Her pupils turned bright red due to anger, like jade soaked in clear water.
Lu Huaihe rubbed her face lovingly, stretched out his hand to relax his frowning brows, and said in a clear voice: "The Second Prince is not a good person. You have reason to be afraid. With me by your side, he dare not offend you."
"When has this prince not been a good person? Lu Yuan, is there anything wrong with your eyes? And how is she scared?"
Baili Feng was getting more and more confused about Lu Huaihe. If he didn't want to marry, then he didn't. What was wrong with being alone? Life was so short, what couldn't he live through? Why did he have to marry a woman to annoy him?
Lu Huaihe raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Wen Yan explained: "The Second Prince has always had a bad reputation in the capital. My wife is timid and afraid of trouble. She is most afraid of disasters, so she is naturally afraid of you."
This, this, this...what's the difference between this and not explaining?
Baili Feng rolled his eyes, trying to gain the upper hand in the argument: "In the dead of night, your wife went to the prison alone to visit her ex-husband. Why does this prince feel that she is not innocent at all?"
"Really? In my opinion, Madam is nostalgic for the old relationship and is a person who values friendship and loyalty, not a heartless person." Lu Huaihe raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was deliberately prolonged and slow, and his hand around Su He's waist tightened a little.
For some reason, Su He felt inexplicably guilty when hearing him comforting herself.
She and Lu Yanxiu were innocent, but it was hard to deny coming here so late at night, and she had not informed him in advance.
Su He sighed secretly, worrying about how to explain to Lu Huaihe later.
Baili Feng went completely crazy: "Lu Yuan, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"
That woman was a second-married woman, so why is she so strange?
Lu Huaihe replied casually: "Maybe the second prince is the donkey."
"you!"
Su He covered her mouth and chuckled.
Baili Feng is the least aggrieved person to be humiliated in front of Lu Huaihe. Who made him have such a bad reputation that even old ladies on the street would spit on him?
He spent money like water, robbed young girls, went in and out of brothels openly... and there were many other small things that were not recorded.
No wonder.
"It's late at night, and my wife is afraid of the cold, so I'll take my leave now."
Lu Huaihe did not stay here for long. He took Su He and got on the carriage back to Li Garden. When he passed the seat where Baili Feng had sat, he wiped it with disdain.
Pei Xia also got on the carriage openly under the watchful eyes of the guards.
After sitting in the car, Su He secretly looked at Lu Huaihe's expression. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about him, she moved her lips and wanted to explain anxiously: "Actually, there is nothing between Lu Yanxiu and me..."
"If I come later, Baili Feng will definitely demonstrate in front of you."
People like him, who fail to gain a place in the court, always make up for it elsewhere.
Su He's eyes darkened: "I'm not afraid of him."
Lu Huaihe turned his eyes to the side and asked slowly, "If he really wants to kill me, how confident are you that you can escape in such an empty place with no one around?"
"I……"
Su He couldn't say it, nor could he estimate it.
There are thousands of ways to kill people and cover-ups. If a madman like Baili Feng goes crazy, she might... have no chance.
"Ah He, I will never assume anything about you with malice." Lu Huaihe's lips twitched slightly, and he continued slowly: "You should also believe that I have the ability to protect you. If you have any private matters to deal with in the future, you don't have to avoid me."
Su He was stunned, lowered his head and remained silent for a few seconds, then nodded.
There was warmth on my hands.
"I'm not a jackal, tiger or leopard, what are you afraid of?"
Lu Huaihe's fingertips rubbed back and forth on the back of her hand, and there seemed to be some helplessness in the pauses.
Su He blinked her eyelashes but did not answer, quietly listening to the sound of the wheels returning to Li Garden.
The day came when the prince personally tried the case.
Liu and the servants of the Lu family were waiting outside the Dali Temple early. On the way, she saw Lu Yanxiu being escorted here. She felt distressed and her old eyes were filled with tears. She wiped her tears again and again.
Lu Yanxiu could only glance at them from afar. Not seeing Liu Qiuqiu made him feel uneasy. Fortunately, Yier and Jiaoer were in the crowd, waving to him excitedly.
In the solemn and dignified court, Crown Prince Baili Jun sat with a serious face, until he saw Lu Yanxiu being brought up, his expression changed slightly.
Lu Huaihe assisted in the trial, sitting to the side with a slightly gloomy expression. The dark blue official uniform he wore made him look awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring.
"Who is here?" Baili Jun suddenly asked.
Lu Yanxiu knelt on the ground and replied timidly: "My name is Lu Yanxiu."
"Is the Lu Mansion in Yunshui Lane your home?"
"…It is exactly the residence of this humble official."
"I heard that a witchcraft item that curses His Majesty was found in your house. Do you have anything to say?"
Lu Yanxiu hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty! I was wronged. I didn't know anything about that thing! Your Majesty is diligent in government and loves the people. You are kind and forgiving. I admire you so much. How could you think of setting a curse?"
Baili Juan frowned and said, "Since it was found in your house, I think it was set up by someone in your house. As the head of the family, you should take responsibility."
"Prince! I am innocent!"
Lu Yanxiu shouted and protested his injustice, but was silenced by Baili Jun's knock. Then he heard him say in a cold voice: "Everyone knows that the emperor has been ill for a long time. What he hates most is witchcraft. If you want to get rid of the crime today, you must present the real culprit in the court, so that I can give an explanation to the emperor!"
"Your humble servant...Your humble servant doesn't know." How could Lu Yanxiu know who had hidden it secretly? Maybe it was a prank by the children?
Lu Huaihe stared at him and asked, "Have you found any suspicious people in your house?"
Lu Yanxiu shook his head. He never cared about the people or things around him.
"Your Highness! I have something to report to you!"
Outside the hall, Liu came forward tremblingly with a cane. Lu Yanxiu didn't know why she came out, so he quickly advised, "Grandma, what are you doing? Leave quickly."
Liu said, "Withdraw? If I withdraw, who will seek justice for you?"
"grandmother……"
