"Prime Minister, there is no need to be angry. She is surrounded now. Just take off the veil on her face and see if she can." Liang He could already guess who it was, but he said this deliberately.
Today, it is not without reason to invite Prime Minister Yan out and wait here to arrest people. In any case, Yan Shuang is the second young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If the Prime Minister can be allowed to see his daughter with his own eyes. Then, the effect may be unexpectedly good!
Yan Ling naturally knew what Liang He was thinking, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. In fact, Yan Ling really wanted to see what Yan Ling's expression would look like the moment the veil was lifted
Suddenly there was something bad about him, and Yan Ling couldn't help but cough twice to hide it.
"What His Highness the Crown Prince said is true, but I am confused." Prime Minister Yan lowered his head and said. For some reason, he always felt that His Highness the Crown Prince's expression seemed strange.
Prime Minister Yan looked at the dark figure surrounding the crowd, but felt that it looked familiar. When the prince's men took away the baggage from the man's hand and brought him in front of him, a bad thought suddenly flashed through Prime Minister Yan's mind.
"Shuang'er!" Prime Minister Yan looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, feeling that his whole body was suddenly stunned and speechless.
"Father, save me." Yan Shuang's face was pale now.
Yan Shuang still knew the crime of stealing something given by the emperor. What's more, this matter has become a big deal, if you really hand yourself over. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to eat and have to walk around.
When Yan Shuang was in the main hall today and heard that the emperor sent the prince and Yan Ling to investigate the matter together, he already sensed that something was wrong. Otherwise, Yan Shuang would not have planned to take out the jade pendant and throw it away because he could not trust the people under his command.
Yes, Yan Shuang did plan to throw away the jade pendant this time. Yan Shuang knew very well that the people under His Highness the Crown Prince were not vegetarians. If the jade pendant was thrown away, it would soon return to His Highness the Crown Prince's hands, and no one would suspect her.
It was precisely because of this that Yan Shuang told no one, even the Prime Minister and Mrs. Yan were kept in the dark. After all, this matter would involve the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and Yan Shuang did not dare to tell them about it.
However, Yan Shuang did not expect that Liang He and Yan Ling had already guessed that she was the murderer. They even laid a dragnet outside the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning, just waiting for her to take the bait.
Liang He didn't take into account Prime Minister Yan's livid face, but took the brocade box inside the suit from the hands of the servant. After opening it, he looked carefully and found that the jade pendant was intact, and he seemed relieved.
Then, Liang He handed the brocade box back to his subordinates and asked them to keep it temporarily. After all, once the jade pendant has been recovered, it has no value anymore. The most important thing at hand is of course how to deal with Yan Shuang.
"Shuang'er, you'd better explain this matter to me clearly, otherwise no one can save you." The hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion was brightly lit. Apart from Prime Minister Yan and Yan Shuang, there were only two people in the room, Liang He and Yan Ling.
"Shuang'er, sister, I really didn't expect that you were the one who took away my jade pendant." Yan Ling's face was cold, as if he couldn't believe it.
Yan Shuang shook her head in panic and kept explaining: "I was just obsessed for a moment, I didn't mean to take it."
"Miss Yan Er, my father has attached great importance to this matter. I'm afraid it can't be covered up by just a few words. What is it for? I'd better ask Miss Yan Er to explain clearly." Liang He took a sip of tea and said slowly .
Sensing the pressure on Liang He, Yan Shuang trembled and subconsciously turned her eyes to her father. However, Prime Minister Yan also looked angry now. How could he save her
Prime Minister Yan really didn't expect that Yan Shuang would do such a thing, and after the matter had become a big deal, he planned to handle it alone without telling him the situation.
If he had known about the jade pendant a long time ago, Prime Minister Yan would have had countless ways to solve it, but he didn't know about it in advance. At this time, His Royal Highness had already caught him, what else could he do
Now, Prime Minister Yan only hopes that Yan Shuang can explain the matter clearly, and then he will risk his face and let Yan Ling plead for mercy in front of His Highness. Seeing if the jade pendant has been found, can this matter be dropped.
According to His Highness the Prince's attitude towards Yan Ling, Prime Minister Yan felt that this was a feasible way. If you have to catch a murderer, it's not difficult to find someone to blame.
Although there are many people present today, they are all subordinates of His Highness the Crown Prince. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince can accept it, they naturally don't have to worry about those people.
When Yan Shuang saw her father, he didn't seem to have any intention of intervening. He felt a little scared, but he still started to answer obediently.
"Qing'er had a grudge against her sister for kicking her out, so she stole the jade pendant from her sister and gave it to me. I was afraid that my sister would misunderstand her, so I had to hide the jade pendant." Yan Shuang still refused to tell the truth.
When Yan Ling heard these remarks, he couldn't help but sneered, and the look on his face seemed a little disappointed.
"Shuang'er, Qing'er has been arranged by me to stay with the housekeeper. She originally had half a month before she could go back, but she returned to the yard quietly yesterday. I asked the housekeeper and it was you who arranged it. What happened now? , Aren’t you going to admit it yet?”
Yan Ling slapped the table and looked distressed.
Yan Shuang didn't expect that the lie would be exposed so quickly, and quickly explained: "It was Qing'er who came to beg me, saying that she wanted to go back to my sister as soon as possible. She felt sorry for my sister for a while, so she became soft-hearted."
"Miss Yan Er, do you think that by sending Qing'er away, there is really no way to prove it? I have found the person, and Qing'er also admitted that you asked him to do it, but you have to bring the person up to confront him. Want to confront the second lady?" Yan Ling sneered.
Yan Shuang fell to the ground and suddenly seemed to have lost all her strength. She did not expect that Liang He and Yan Ling already knew so much. The reason why I didn't take action was probably because I was waiting for tonight and wanted to throw myself into a trap.
Prime Minister Yan looked even angrier when he saw Yan Shuang, as if he was hating that iron could not become steel.
He didn't understand why Yan Shuang still had such luck until now. Could it be that Yan Shuang really thinks that His Highness the Crown Prince is so easy to fool
This matter has already been involved in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Yan Shuang actually didn't intend to tell the truth even though he had obtained the stolen goods. Prime Minister Yan didn't know what to say about his incompetent daughter.
"Shuang'er, I will give you another chance as a father. Please explain the matter clearly, and your eldest sister and His Highness the Crown Prince will handle it as appropriate. If you continue to do this, my father will not be able to save you." Prime Minister Yan said. You can't watch something happen to Yan Shuang.
Looking at her father's eyes, Yan Shuang seemed to know that this time, it wasn't just her own sweet words that could cover up the past, so she had no choice but to tell the truth.
