Chapter 109 Make a cocoon and bind yourself
Everyone else was left in the hall. Xiao Shuyong only brought Xiao Ranjie, Xiao Lingxiao and the fourth prince to the study. Fortunately, this study was just the place where Xiao Shuyong studied calligraphy and painting, and did not deal with affairs here, so he gave the fourth prince enough face and asked him to follow him as a witness.
Several lamps lit up the study. Xiao Shuyong checked it roughly and found that everything here was as neat as usual, and there was no sign of thieves sneaking in. Before he could speak, Xiao Ranjie suddenly shouted and bent down to pick up something from the ground.
Several people looked over and saw that Xiao Ranjie handed over a handkerchief to Xiao Shuyong. He said proudly, "This handkerchief must have been left by the person who destroyed the painting, right? This is what a woman uses. Sister, do you think this can mean that the person who destroyed the painting is a woman? She left in the middle of the banquet, and she was a woman again. Now the elder sister won't quibble anymore.
Xiao Shuyong only glanced at the peach-red handkerchief, gritted his teeth and threw the handkerchief at Xiao Lingxiao, and said angrily, "Little beast! What else do you have to say!"
Xiao Lingxiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Ranjie. He thought to himself, you son of a bitch, used this insidious trick to deal with me as soon as you came back? Then I, Xiao Lingxiao, will also let you know what King Ma's three eyes are!
Xiao Ranjie framed Xiao Lingxiao, which can be said to be seamless. No one would have thought that he could destroy the priceless treasure in order to frame Xiao Lingxiao, and Xiao Lingxiao's departure from the banquet on the way seemed to an accident. Even if Xiao Lingxiao took out the note now, no one would believe her words. Now with a handkerchief, this doesn't seem to be a stand-up evidence, but it is more convincing. Xiao Shuyong doesn't need so much real evidence in court to punish Xiao Lingxiao. As long as there are such excuses and evidence, it is enough.
However, when Xiao Ranjie was secretly happy, he didn't expect that Xiao Lingxiao was not an ordinary woman.
Xiao Lingxiao said to the divine wolf in a dark voice, "We have to clean up this little rabbit today."
The divine wolf also looked at Xiao Ranjie's displeasure and immediately answered Xiao Lingxiao, "Master, don't worry."
With Sen Sen cold air in his words, Xiao Lingxiao sneered, leaned over and picked up the handkerchief that fell to the ground, stroked it gently with his hand, then unfolded the handkerchief and looked at the candlelight carefully, and then pretended to be surprised, "This handkerchief..."
The fourth prince looked at the words and looked at him. It can be seen that this matter was probably Xiao Ranjie's obstruction and deliberately targeted Xiao Lingxiao. But he did not point out about this matter, because Xiao Lingxiao is important, but with Xiao Ranjie's current momentum, he is likely to be the successor of the Xiao family in the future, and even have enough influence in the court, so this person must not be offended. However, the fourth prince also hates the arrogant Xiao Ranjie very much. He can't wait for Xiao Lingxiao to take the opportunity to suppress him. It's better to get rid of this guy, which will save his worries in the future.
Seeing Xiao Lingxiao looking at the veil and exclaiming, the fourth prince was overjoyed. He hurried forward and asked with concern, "What's wrong with Lingxiao?"
Xiao Lingxiao unfolded his veil and pointed to a corner to the fourth prince. "Your Highness, look, what kind of picture is this? What kind of word is this?"
The fourth prince looked carefully and smiled more happily in his heart. The handkerchief was clearly embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and the water lines under the feet of the two mandarin ducks were also embroidered with exquisite small words. Looking carefully, the small character under a mandarin duck is "Yuantao", and the small character under the other mandarin duck is "Ran "Jay."
Looking at the vulgar color of the handkerchief, the fourth prince immediately recognized that the handkerchief was clearly a letter sent by a vulgar woman to Xiao Ranjie for pleasure.
Xiao Shuyong saw that the fourth prince looked at the handkerchief carefully and looked wrong, so he hurried forward to grab the handkerchief from Xiao Lingxiao and looked at it carefully. It's okay if he doesn't look at it. When he looks at it, he immediately reacts and is secretly shocked. Could it be that his seemingly knowledgeable son dares to go to those fireworks places without telling him! If not, how could there be such a veil!
Xiao Ranjie saw that even his father's face had changed, and he was even more puzzled. He prepared the handkerchief for his close subordinates. What's wrong with the handkerchief?
Xiao Ranjie took a step forward with a puzzled face. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shuyong turned around and threw the handkerchief on his face. Xiao Ranjie was stunned. When he carefully looked at the mandarin duck playing with water and the small words below, his whole body was suddenly stunned.
How can it be! How can the word "picture" appear on this veil out of thin air! Did Xiao Lingxiao drop the bag? Impossible! Did she know that she was going to be framed, so she prepared in advance? It's unbelievable!
Xiao Lingxiao looked at Xiao Ranjie's face from iron blue to pale white, and he couldn't stop laughing in his heart. It's just that if you do something on a handkerchief, you can't help the divine wolf at all.
"Is this beautiful peach the girl that the second brother loves? Otherwise, the second brother would not have brought such a vulgar handkerchief with him. In the future, such things must be collected. The eldest sister almost couldn't argue because you were accidentally wronged.
Xiao Lingxiao smiled and said to Xiao Shuyong, who was about to explode, "Father, in my opinion, no matter how expensive the painting is, it has been destroyed. It's meaningless to pursue it. But the second brother is the hope for the future of the Xiao family. If he destroys his reputation and his future because of one or two 'Yantao', the Xiao family will lose a lot.
As soon as Xiao Ranjie heard Xiao Lingxiao's words, he immediately became angry, "Xiao Lingxiao, don't spit people with blood! This handkerchief is not mine! I don't know any peaches at all!"
When Xiao Lingxiao saw that he was angry, he smiled more brightly. "I don't understand if my second brother said so. Why didn't anyone find such a gorgeous and eye-catching veil on the ground when the four of us came in? Only the second brother found it? I have to say that the second brother must have accidentally dropped his handkerchief, and then he was eager to help his father find the person who destroyed the painting, so he made this mistake.
"You!" This study was not very spacious. When they came in, the veil was indeed not on the ground. Xiao Ranjie thought that as long as he got a "evidence" casually, it would be enough to force Xiao Lingxiao to die, so he didn't deal with it too carefully at all. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a dead hole! Xiao Ranjie's forehead suddenly burst out in a cold sweat.
"What's more, let's talk about it." Xiao Lingxiao continued to help analyze, "If someone deliberately wanted to frame someone, it must have happened by chance, so this veil will naturally not be prepared by anyone in advance. The word "ranjie" under the mandarin duck playing in the water can be embroidered clearly. This needle is the intention of the "Yantao" girl. If the second brother doesn't admit it, I'm afraid it will hurt the girl's heart.
"Xiao Lingxiao!" Xiao Ranjie was usually full of experience, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even say a rebuttal in the face of Xiao Lingxiao's soft words today.
Although Xiao Lingxiao only said a few words, he let Xiao Shuyong and the fourth prince Mao Se open up.
Neither of them is a fool. Thinking about it, you can find that all this was done by Xiao Ranjie deliberately trying to frame Xiao Lingxiao. The fourth prince just saw a family scandal and laughed secretly alone, but Xiao Shuyong was so angry.
Xiao Ranjie is his favorite son. Because of this, he is even more angry that this son is acting so recklessly. To deal with Xiao Lingxiao, is it such a simple trap to succeed? Did Xiao Ranjie think that other people are fools, that's why he made Xiao Lingxiao rampant for so long? He is too proud! What's more, he actually destroyed a valuable masterpiece for a Xiao Lingxiao, which is simply a violent thing!
For a long time, Xiao Shuyong passed this tone. He turned his hand at the fourth prince with a black face and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Your Highness. What Ling Xiao said makes sense. Compared with that painting, I should discipline my rebellious son in my family. He also invited His Royal Highness to go back to the hall for a banquet.
The fourth prince knew that it was absolutely not suitable to stay here as his own identity, so he hurriedly put on a smiling face and arched his hand to Xiao Shuyong, turned around and walked out. But as soon as he turned around, he heard Xiao Lingxiao's voice behind him, "Your Highness, Lingxiao will go with you."
Xiao Lingxiao's cold words fell into the ears of the fourth prince, and he didn't know how he became extremely soft and sweet. The fourth prince was surprised and happy. He turned around and saw Xiao Lingxiao walking to him and smiling at him. The fourth prince's heart suddenly missed a beat.
When the two of them left the study, Xiao Shuyong lowered his voice and roared at Xiao Ranjie, "You useless thing, don't you have a long head or are you crazy!"
Xiao Ranjie has always been talented and spoiled by his father. This is the first time he has been insulted by his father like this. He felt aggrieved in his heart, and tears almost fell out. Fortunately, there was still room for manoeuvre in this matter. Seeing that he framed Xiao Lingxiao was exposed, and his father did not protect Xiao Ling in his words. Xiao Ranjie hurried forward and fell in Xiao Shuyong's ear and said in a low voice, "Father, don't be impatient. Han Zezhi's painting has not been destroyed. The painting in the hall is fake. !"
"What did you say?" After all, Xiao Shuyong still felt sorry for the precious painting. As soon as he heard Xiao Ranjie say that the painting was not destroyed, his anger subsided a lot.
Such a good painting is really not worth destroying such a pig and dog for Xiao Lingxiao. It happened that after Xiao Ranjie got the painting, he copied another one. Although it is not as good as the original in all aspects, if it is splashed with ink, you can't see it without looking carefully. The real baby has been put back to his own study by his bookboy. Xiao Ranjie explained everything to his father and quietly took Xiao Shuyong to his study to see the real painting.
But when the two of them came to Xiao Ranjie's study, they were shocked to find that the long scroll had been spread out on the ground, and the scroll had already been splashed with ink!
Xiao Shuyong looked at this situation, and his heart throbbed again. This time, he lay on the ground and looked at the destroyed painting carefully, making sure that this one was absolutely true. That is to say, the authentic works that Han Zezhi spent nearly half of his life were destroyed!
"Reverse son...Reverse son!"
Xiao Shuyong roared at the destroyed painting.
Xiao Ranjie looked at the painting in a daze, his face was extremely pale, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cave.
On the other side, Xiao Lingxiao and the fourth prince walked side by side in silence. When they walked out of the yard where Xiao Shuyong's study was located, the fourth prince couldn't wait to ask Xiao Lingxiao softly, "Yingxiao said he had something to say to me at that time. What is it?"
