Chapter 907: Nosebleed?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
No wonder she had found it strange before.
Public opinion rose in Xiangping City. The Han Clan was far away in Xi’an, but He Zhixian was in the middle of it. He must know all of this very well. Why hadn’t he done anything?
Wasn’t he worried at all that if the Han Clan’s ship capsized, it would implicate him?
In the end!
He Zhixian was clearly too cautious. He was not worried that the Han Clan would fall into a trap at all. He sat firmly on the fishing platform and waited for them to fall in the direction of the wind.
This was really amazing.
Yu Youyao sighed. “As expected, no one involved in politics is simple.”
She felt a little complicated. Unknowingly, she and Yin Huaixi had already said a lot before she truly realized how many undercurrents were hidden behind Liu Dagan’s case.
The inner palace, the royal court, the political parties, the land-owning cla.s.s, and even a seventh-grade official had their own schemes.
Yin Huaixi smiled. “The best way to deal with despicable people is not to interfere, stop, or partic.i.p.ate in their circ.u.mstances. Let them develop and fend for themselves. As long as you firmly control the wind, the despicable people will naturally side with you and be used by you. Of course, if you don’t have the confidence to control the wind, don’t give them a chance to develop. Just eliminate them completely.”
The reason why despicable people were called despicable people was because they had an obvious weakness. They were small-minded. To put it bluntly, they were narrow-minded.
It was difficult for a narrow-minded person to achieve anything big in the end.
Therefore, truly despicable people were the lowest group of people in the field. This group of people was not easy to offend, but they were easy to control as long as one was strong enough.
This was compared to the Jiazhou Residence, whose despicableness had reached an advanced level, was the coldest.
The Jiazhou Residence had this reputation because they had a structure and firmly occupied the position of benevolence and morality. In contrast, they had become heartless.
Such people were often invincible and could climb to a high position.
Yu Youyao was deep in thought. “In that case, we don’t have to care about He Zhixian anymore? When the Bai Residence is exonerated, He Zhixian will automatically step forward and bite back at the Han Clan to help us deal with them.”
Yin Huaixi nodded. ‘Just wait and see!”
Yu Youyao thought about it carefully. At the very least, her goal was indeed not to do anything about the vexing He Zhixian. She did not dwell on it anymore. “Get someone to send a message to Yin Shi later and ask her to do the interrogation well. Let’s see if we can interrogate the spies planted by the aristocratic families we captured previously and find any clues related to that direct descendant. Then, get someone to go to Xi’an to investigate if any direct descendants of the Han Clan have been out recently. That should be enough.”
If the spies planted by the Han Clan wanted to send news, they would definitely have to contact the Han Clan in secret. As long as they followed the clues, they would be able to find out about the Han Clan.
She had already obtained evidence that the Han Clan had partic.i.p.ated in framing the princess, but this evidence was not very strong.
As long as she further investigated that the direct descendant of the Han family had also partic.i.p.ated in framing the princess, the Han family would not be able to deny it. She would have the confidence to ignore the Imperial Court and pursue this matter openly.
After the Bai couple was locked up as suspects, the People’s Relief Hall was immediately sealed. All the relevant people were brought to the government office for routine questioning.
All the items would be used as evidence in court. The government office would send someone to collect evidence and check.
After a round of evidence collection, the government office determined that Liu Dagen’s death was indeed related to the People’s Relief Hall. That night, they asked the coroner to open the coffin and perform an autopsy, confirming that Liu Dagen had indeed died because of inappropriate medicine.
After the witnesses and physical evidence were gathered, Madam Zhangs confession case was officially opened.
The case entered the public interrogation segment.
At this moment, someone suddenly realized that the notice of “being kind” that had been posted in the Bai Residence had suddenly disappeared overnight.
All of this seemed to hint at Princess Shaoyi’s “guilty conscience”. Not only did the unfavorable rumors about her not stop, but they also became more and more intense.
Someone even said, “It must be Princess Shaoyi. She can’t withstand the public opinion and its pressure. She doesn’t dare to protect the Bai Residence anymore.”
In the blink of an eye, it had been three days since Yin Huaixi returned to Xiangping.
It was also April.
The temperature in Xiangping had clearly increased. Yu Youyao took off her thick round-collared jacket dress and changed into a thin short dress.
She was wearing a long pleated dress and a thin cross-collared shirt. She also had a cardigan on the outside. The double layers of the shirt were intertwined and overlaid, revealing the layers of heavy clothes at the collar.
The blue and white flowers were elegant and bright, like the rain that had just cleared. The smoke and blue in the sky was beautiful.
Yin Huaixi’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t even move his eyes away.
The little girl used stone powder and casually swept it across her eyebrows. Her two curved eyebrows were as hazy as water, like smoke and fog. The pair of sleeping phoenix eyes under her eyebrows made her look dazzling.
His gaze couldn’t help but descend. Her neck was like a swan’s shadow. The two faintly discernible but tempting small collarbones hidden in her clothes, and…
Yin Huaixi’s eyes seemed to be burned, and his mind went blank for a moment.
He suddenly looked away and suddenly felt his mouth go dry. When a person was extremely thirsty, they would involuntarily swallow non-stop, so their Adam’s apple would keep moving up and down.
Yin Huaixi suddenly remembered that Yu Youyao would be 14 years old in ten
Previously, he was still feeling sorry for her. The little girl was pet.i.te and slender, as if she couldn’t grow any taller. Every meal, she ate two small bowls of rice, in addition to snacks, fruits, snacks, and medicinal cuisine. He didn’t know how much she had eaten.
At this moment, he suddenly understood.
A fourteen-year-old girl was at the age where she was still in full bloom. The nutrition her body had absorbed supported her body, and the shy bud had already grown.
Whether the bud grew well or not depended on how much nutrition it was fed.
It turned out that all the flesh had grown there.
The scene he had seen just now appeared in Yin Huaixi’s mind again.
Under the open shirt was a small shirt with a smoky collar. It vaguely and hazily revealed her small chest underneath. Meanwhile, the pleated skirt was tied around her waist, outlining her waist.
However, the slenderness here happened to accentuate the fullness of her chest, which was bulging with her small shirt.
It was as if Yin Huaixi was possessed. His mind replayed the scene just now over and over again, and he thought of a poem. “Looking from afar, there are mountains, and the distance is different!”
“Nineteenth Brother…” Her anxious call woke Yin Huaixi up from his daze.
Before he could react, he saw Yu Youyao rushing over. “Why is there suddenly a nosebleed? Are you feeling unwell? Don’t lower your head, raise it…”
“Nosebleed? Me?!” Yin Huaixi was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he felt his nose heat up. He subconsciously reached out and touched his nose. He took it down and saw that his fingers were stained with blood..
