Chapter 189 Who Uses Who 2

Although Zheng Yuxiu was distressed, he still couldn't plead. The dead man was his younger brother. Although he was not a mother's compatriot, he was still related by blood.

Changsun Zhi had a dark face and said, "What's going on?"

Several men who followed Zheng Donglin were so scared that their faces were earthy. One of them said, "In the words of the prince, it was the second son and the little lord who argued for... for Miss Xia, and then they fought..."

As soon as this word came out, everyone's eyes gathered on Xia Mengning. Even Changsun Zhi looked at Xia Mengning with deep meaning.

There was a woman in the crowd who had been squatting beside Zheng Donglin for a long time. The woman wore a water-blue satin dress and wore a tedious down bun. At this moment, the woman was looking sad. Hearing this, she hurriedly raised her head and looked at Xia Mengning, who was standing on the other side with hatred.

At this time, the servants brought by Zheng Donglin had invited Duke Zheng. As soon as he entered the garden, he saw Zheng Donglin lying in the crowd. Zheng's old face stagnated, and his spirit seemed to collapse to the highest point. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fainted.

Now everyone blew up. Several servants hurried forward to help him, pinching people and watering. Zheng Yuxiu asked someone to move chairs, and several people helped Zheng Guogong to sit down. After a while, the unconscious Zheng Guogong woke up slightly.

"My son..." As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Zheng Donglin lying on the ground again. Duke Zheng couldn't help but feel heartbroken again. He walked over in tears and hugged Zheng Donglin's body on the ground and cried.

The woman in blue squatting beside her sobbed, but she suppressed her tears and said, "Auncle, it's not the time to be sad yet. The death of my cousin is not natural, but man-made."

This woman in blue is the direct daughter of Zheng Qingyang, the brother of Zheng Guogong. Her name is Zheng Ruilan. The people of the Zheng family are very united. The relationship between Zheng Guogong and his younger brother's family is also very harmonious. In addition, the family is counting on the prestige of Zheng Guogong to survive. Zheng Ruilan's future marriage also depends on Zhang Luo, the Duke of Zheng. Therefore, Zheng Ruilan and Zheng Guogong's family are very close.

Duke Zheng, who was crying, heard this, as if he had awakened the dreamer. He held Zheng Ruilan's hand and stood up. He looked at the eldest grandson beside him and said, "Your Highness, your son killed my son today. It's justice to kill my life."

With that, he seemed to be overly sad and coughed a few times in a row.

Although Changsunzhi hates Changsunli for doing such a thing, Changsunli is loyal and honest. He knows this very well. How can he do something to kill at will?

Thinking of this, Changsun Zhi also softened his face and said, "Duke Zheng, the misunderstanding between Lier and Mr. Ling is not clear. How can you be so sure?"

When Duke Zheng heard this, a strong anger immediately appeared on his face, and the white beard on his lips was raised high. "What are you talking about? My son is dead. What else is not clear? OK! OK! It seems that you are determined to cover up the murderer. I'm going to sue the emperor.

With that, Duke Zheng made a move to leave, but his eldest grandson, who was kneeling on one side, suddenly climbed up and knelt in front of them and said, "If it's worth his life, please ask Duke Zheng to do it yourself now. Don't go to the palace to sue the emperor. Don't do things alone, and don't implicate your father."

The Duke of Zheng was stunned, raised his foot and kicked Changsunli on the shoulder. Changsunli was injured, but he gritted his teeth and did not move his body.

"Well, since you have stood up, I will avenge my son today!"

With that, Duke Zheng looked left and right and drew a sword from the waist of the courtyard beside him. The eldest grandson on the side saw it and closed his eyes with heartache. Anyway, it was a loss for him, but it made him extremely uncomfortable to watch Changsun Li die.

Duke Zheng made up his mind to stab Changsunli's body, but he was pulled by Zheng Yuxiu and Zheng Ruilan at the same time. Zheng Yuxiu was nervous about the safety of Changsunli, but Zheng Ruilan had been secretly admiring Changsunli. Now seeing Changsunli's behavior, he was even more determined to save him. In her opinion, the real murderer this time was Xia. Meng Ning is right. If it weren't for her, how could her cousin and the second son fight?

When Duke Zheng saw it, he shook off his hand and shouted, "What are you doing? Do you turn your elbows out?"

Seeing that Duke Zheng took a step back and the sword in his hand fell to the ground, Zheng Yuxiu said, "Dad, this matter is of great importance. Don't act impulsively."

Seeing that the situation was under control, Zheng Ruilan hurriedly persuaded, "Uncle, this matter still needs to be carefully investigated. Don't be impulsive now."

Duke Zheng was out of breath and sat down a few steps back. Zheng Yuxiu walked to Changsun Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, the current situation is imminent. Let's let Ying Tianfu take a look and make a final determination first."

The eldest grandson nodded and ordered the people behind him, and they quickly walked out.

After a while, Cheng Tianxing, the official of Ying Tianfu, came in a hurry. As soon as he heard the report that the second son of the Prince of Dingxi had killed Mr. Zheng, Cheng Tianxing's heart almost jumped out of his chest. He could not afford to offend him.

He walked tremblingly to the center of the yard. First, he saluted several men present, and then carefully asked about the specific situation of the scene. Changsun Zhi asked his men to tell Cheng Tianxing what happened. Cheng Tianxing first took Changsun to the prison. Because this murder was a felony, he did not dare to have With a trace of slackness, the eldest grandson was also extremely cooperative, so he was quickly shacked and held down.

As soon as the man left, the people at the scene also relaxed, and most of them left one after another. Xia Mengning looked at the development of the situation and was not ready to make more. When she was about to walk with everyone, she was stopped by a figure.

"You stop!"

Standing in front of Xia Mengning was Zheng Ruilan, who had just dissuaded Duke Zheng. Xia Mengning saw her fierce appearance and stepped back slightly and said, "I don't know what's wrong with you, Miss?"

Zheng Ruilan looked at Xia Mengning in front of her. The close contact made her inner sadness even more wantonly. Xia Mengning's sunken fish and falling geese. No wonder her cousin and the second young master would like her. Thinking that her eldest grandson would also like Xia Mengning, Zheng Ruilan's heart was almost angry that it would explode. Why could she get this? How many people are favored by a fox charming face? Zheng Ruilan is not as good as her, but now she wants to take away the place that belongs to her in the heart of the second young master.

Zheng Ruilan stared, looked straight at Xia Mengning, and shouted, "You shameless woman, have made a marriage contract with the prince, but you still want to provoke your cousin and the second young master. It's really shameless."

This scolding attracted everyone's eyes. The Duke Zheng said doubtfully, "Lan'er, what's going on?"

Zheng Ruilan took a look at Xia Mengning and said to Zheng Guogong beside him, "Uncle, it's this woman. My cousin and the second young master fought for this woman. Now my cousin is dead, but this woman seems to have nothing to do."

When Duke Zheng heard the words, he immediately looked sharply at Xia Mengning standing in front of him, and looked at Xia Mengning with a critical look.

Xia Mengning smiled and said lightly, "Miss Zheng, I'm sorry. Also, Miss Zheng, please be careful. These words are not what my daughter's family should say."

Zheng Ruilan's face turned a little red when he heard the words, but when he saw that Xia Mengning had nothing to do with him, Zheng Ruilan was even more angry and couldn't help saying, "This is what the people present said. You still don't admit it. I think you are a watery woman. It's not enough for a humble body to follow the prince of the world, and he is still thinking about the charm. The young master and his cousin...ah!"

Before Zheng Ruilan finished speaking, he was hit on the head by a teacup coming from the air. The teacup was full of strength, and the top of Zheng Ruilan's head was suddenly bloody.

Zheng Ruilan covered his head in pain, but Duke Zheng was annoyed, "Who, who did it? How dare you hurt people in public? Is there any king's law?

"It's so noisy!"

At this moment, a white figure came out from behind the crowd and walked straight to Xia Mengning. He looked at the two people opposite him and said, "Duke Zheng has such a big tone. Does he regard this royal palace as his own backyard? Next time you come out, you should choose who to bring out, so as not to bring out these pickled characters full of dirty words and stain my eyes.

The man in white is Changsun Yun. Although he looks careless at this moment, his eyes are sharp when he speaks, which also makes everyone present have some awe.

When Zheng Guogong saw Changsun Yun, he did not dare to be angry. On the contrary, Zheng Ruilan, who heard Chang Sun Yun's words, was a little angry. In her opinion, she was just telling the truth to the people at the scene, so that these people would not continue to be deceived by this charming woman.

"Son of the world, my cousin and the second young master fought for this woman. Why do you protect such a shameless woman?"

Zheng Ruilan's eyes were full of tears, and she had long ignored the etiquette of the lady and asked Changsun Yun.

Zheng Guogong turned his face and said fiercely, "Lan'er, don't be presumptuous. Go home and talk about anything."

With that, he turned his face and punched Changsun Yun, "Lan'er is ignorant. Please forgive me."

Changsun Yun squeezed his lips, but suddenly put his arm around Xia Mengning beside him and suddenly wrapped Xia Mengning's petite body in his arms. "If anyone else dares to quarrel with Miss Xia in the future, he can't get along with my eldest grandson. Although my eldest grandson Yun is a child with no merit, if he annoys me, it is also It will be very troublesome, so if you still want to live in peace in the future, you don't have to come to Miss Xia's trouble if you have nothing to do. Do you understand?

Everyone did not expect that Changsun Yun would make such a move. Some people whispered. It must have been true that the prince took the initiative to fall in love with Miss Xia in the past. After all, since the news came out between the two, Changsun Yun always protected Xia Mengning and pushed him away with Dongling. The princess's marriage, now in this style, it seems that the prince really likes this third lady.
