Chapter 1567 - 1567: Shifting the blame to Each Other!

Translator: Lonelytree

It was obvious that she was the one who had killed the Lin Family villagers.

However, at the same time, he did not understand.

If she had sent someone to kill them, she would have killed them all. Then, she would have told him what she did, and they could have cut off all the clues.

But why did she leave only one alive, pointing all the blame at him?

Although there were many flaws in this plan, it was also the best plan to push

the responsibility to others.

Although Liu Xinren had doubts in his heart, he was not a pushover and would not let Xiao Jingyu bully him. Liu Xinren shouted angrily,” Princess Linglong, if I remember correctly when the thunder rumbled, and the people shouted ‘Abolish Princess Guguo’ you seemed to have told His Majesty that it was the will of the heavens and the will of the people. You wanted His Majesty to comply with the will of the people, right? So, Princess Linglong, what were your intentions when you said those words?

“Besides, you said that I was the one who instigated those Lin Family villagers to cause trouble in the capital. Isn’t that your idea?” Liu Xinren’s words were sharp.

Although he planned to push everything onto Xiao Jingyu, he didn’t have the time to do anything. In the end, Xiao Jingyu pushed all the responsibility onto him.

At this point, one of the two masterminds had to be pushed out to take the blame!

Then, Liu Xinren sneered and said to Lin Yuelan,” Princess Guguo, Your Highness, I suspect that Princess Linglong must have sent someone to silence the villagers of the Lin Family last night.”

Lin Yuelan didn’t respond directly. Instead, she asked with a cold smile,” Lord Liu, what do you mean by that? If I didn’t hear wrongly, Princess Linglong said that you were the one who ordered the Lin Family villagers to come to the capital to sue and slander me. But now, you’re saying that it was Princess Linglong who killed them? Are you trying to confuse me, or are you trying to push the blame onto each other?”

At this point, she looked at Xiao Jingyu with a faint smile, then at Liu Xinren, and then said coldly and sharply, “Or are both of you the masterminds?” Liu Xinren and Xiao Jingyu were stunned at Lin Yuelan’s words.

In fact, by pointing out each other, they were exposed in front of everyone that they were the ones who instigated the Lin family villagers to go to the capital to sue Lin Yuelan.

However, they were not fools to expose themselves and tell everyone that they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

However, something unexpected happened to their plan. Then, everything seemed to have gone beyond their expectations.

Princess Linglong laughed stiffly.” Princess Guguo, you… Are you kidding me?

This is my first time here, and I’m not even familiar with the imperial city of Longyan Kingdom, let alone that remote place in the ravine. How am 1 supposed to be the mastermind?”

” Who said that the mastermind has to be familiar with the Longyan

Kingdom?” Lin Yuelan said indifferently. “According to what you said, our Emperor controls thousands of miles of land. Doesn’t that mean that he has to be familiar with every inch of land?”

“This…” Xiao Jingyu didn’t know what to say.

Besides, the mastermind usually only needs to speak and give orders to his subordinates,” Lin Yuelan said bluntly,” So, the mastermind doesn’t need to be familiar with everything, right?”

Xiao Jingyu opened her mouth, and then her face darkened. She said somewhat angrily,” Princess Guguo, what do you mean by this? Don’t tell me you believe that I’m the mastermind just because of hearsay?”

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said,” No, Princess Linglong, I’m sure you must be the mastermind!”

As soon as Lin Yuelan finished speaking, the entire hall was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Except for Jiang Zhennan, no one expected Lin Yuelan to be so decisive and reckless as to determine the culprit. It was too hasty!

Xiao Jingrui took a deep look at Xiao Jingyu and said sternly, “Princess Guguo, you have no evidence, and you think that this prince’s sister is the mastermind behind the death of the Lin family villagers. Isn’t that a little unreasonable?”

Hearing Xiao Jingrui’s protection, Xiao Jingyu’s surprised and panicked heart finally calmed down a little.

With Xiao Jingrui’s protection, even if she was the real mastermind, what could Lin Yuelan do to her?

Therefore, she was not afraid at all.

However, she did not want to let others take advantage of her.

Xiao Jingyu continued,” My Second Imperial Brother is right. If Princess Guguo wants to confirm that this princess is the mastermind who framed you, then please show me the evidence.” At this point, her sharp eyes shot towards Lin Yuelan, and she said sharply,” Otherwise, I’d like to ask Your Majesty if the people of the Longyan Kingdom can accuse others so casually.”

Lin Yuelan saw that Xiao Jingyu had Xiao Jingrui’s support and suddenly had the courage to confront her, and her mind also became clear.

Lin Yuelan was not anxious when she heard that. She merely glanced at her coldly and said,” Oh?”

After she replied with an ” oh “, she looked at Liu Xingren and asked sharply,” Lord Liu, if I remember correctly. Just now, you were the one who insisted that Princess Linglong was the mastermind, right?”

Liu Xinren looked at Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan’s expressions and knew that they might have found some evidence and clues.

Therefore, regardless of whether he admitted it or not, he had to admit it now.

Otherwise, if Xiao Jingyu, this despicable person, really pushed all the responsibility to him, he might not be allowed to make up for his mistakes in

the future.

Liu Xinren gritted his teeth.” That’s right!’

This time, it was Xiao Jingyu’s turn to retort,” Lord Liu, don’t slander me!”
