Chapter 238 Who is lying? It is hard to tell the truth from the false
Nangong Ze's face was gloomy, and he was very dissatisfied with Baili Moyan's words. Even Nangong Ling, who had always been close to the Ninth Prince's faction, had a very ugly expression.
Baili Moyan was scolding the entire Nangong family! He had always been optimistic about him and wanted to support him!
"Your Highness! This Nangong family, one or two of them, not only ganged up on my young lady, but also threw dirty water on her!"
"They're accusing my young lady of something she didn't do! They're simply bullying the weak with their numbers! They're bullying my young lady and she has no one to back her up!"
Lu Qiao's few words made the people talk again and they felt some sympathy for Zhu Zifeng.
After all, the Nangong family brothers and sisters had just pressed Zhu Zifeng, and Nangong Xin and Nangong Xiyun had even resorted to violence. In the eyes of the common people, the Nangong family was somewhat bullying the weak with their numbers.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, we don't have it!"
Nangong Xiyun also grew up in the aristocratic circle of Kyoto. Her status is not much different from Zhu Zifeng's. In fact, because of the concubine Rong in the palace, Nangong Xiyun's status is even higher than Zhu Zifeng!
How could she, who has always been delicate, endure being slandered like this?
"This morning, Zhu Zifeng's maid came to find me at the Auxiliary North Camp outside the city. She said that He Shu, the doctor of King Dongli, had killed someone. There would definitely be chaos in Biluo Court today! This is the best opportunity to force He Shu to heal my voice! She also said that this time, the charge of killing someone must be firmly established, so that she will never be able to stand up again!"
"But I did what they said, and now that the truth has been revealed, she flatly denies it!"
"I, Nangong Xiyun, am the daughter of the Grand Marshal of the National Defense Army. Our Nangong family has guarded the border for generations. How could we allow a slave to toy with us like this?!"
"Miss Nangong!" Zhu Zifeng shouted, his voice full of grievance and hoarseness. "You rely on the support of your brothers to slander me like this. Are you taking advantage of me because I have no one to protect me?"
"You!" Nangong Xiyun was so angry that her face turned red, as if it was congested. She was clearly telling the truth, so how could she be bullied?
Zhu Zifeng continued, not giving Nangong Xiyun a chance to speak. "You keep saying that it was Ziying who leaked the news that Doctor He had killed someone. Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, isn't that just false accusation?"
"I..." Nangong Xiyun was choked and speechless.
How could there be any evidence for something like this? Zhu Zifeng wasn't stupid. To frame someone, would he have to write a letter and give them something to hold against him?
Seeing that Nangong Xiyun had nothing to say, Baili Moyan smiled and said, "Miss Nangong, if you can't produce any evidence and just make empty promises, it seems that such a serious accusation cannot be placed on Miss Zhu."
"After all, this also seems a bit like a frame-up, right?"
Baili Moyan's words wavered the minds of the people present.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince has a point. If there is no evidence, perhaps it is Miss Nangong who is slandering Miss Zhu?"
For a moment, no one could tell who was lying.
Nangong Xiyun bit her lips so hard that she didn't even notice the blood.
She felt that she was so stupid! She had actually let Zhu Zifeng harm her to the point where she had no power to resist. Even the entire Nangong family had lost face because of her!
She really regrets it!
"It doesn't seem that difficult to get evidence, right?"
Just when the situation became tense, a clear voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
"It's the doctor's wife! Does she have a way to tell who is lying?"
Baili Moyan turned his gaze and looked at Shu He without restraint.
Is this the woman that Seventh Brother cares about? She is quite pretty, but it's a pity that she is a widow who has given birth to a child.
Baili Moqing noticed his gaze and a frosty look appeared on his face.
Shu He naturally noticed his offending look and glared at him unhappily. If it weren't for the fact that he was Prince Nanyu, she would have gouged out his eyes!
"He Shu, what do you mean?" Surprise and anticipation appeared on Nangong Xiyun's face, and she looked at her nervously.
"Miss Nangong, Miss Ziying went to look for you. I think more than one person saw it, right?"
Nangong Xiyun immediately replied, "Of course, she had to register to come to the camp! The soldiers who registered must remember it! And the guards my brother arranged for me outside the tent, they have also seen it!"
"Doctor He, I didn't deny that I had been to the Aid-North Camp. What can you prove by asking these questions?" Ziying frowned, obviously feeling uneasy.
She thought quickly about what evidence she would leave behind, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't think of anything.
A sneer flashed across Shu He's face. "Don't be anxious, Miss Ziying. I haven't finished asking my question yet!"
Ziying pinched the corner of her clothes and looked at the smile on her face, feeling inexplicably nervous.
It’s okay, as long as you deny it even if you are beaten to death, everything will be fine!
"Miss Nangong, do you still remember when Miss Ziying arrived at the Northern Aid Camp?"
Nangong Xiyun thought about it, a little uncertain, "It should be the beginning of the Mao hour."
"At the beginning of the Mao hour?" Shu He looked at Ziying and asked with a smile, "Miss Ziying, you really care about Miss Nangong, don't you? Just to get her to come to me for treatment, you actually came to the Northern Aid Camp at the beginning of the Mao hour."
"And that doesn't even include the journey time from the Zhen Mansion in the south of the city to the camp outside the city. If that's added up, I'm afraid we'll have to set off late at night, right?"
"Miss Ziying, are you so anxious? You can't even get some sleep?"
Ziying's pretty eyes showed tension and evasion, and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
"I, I'm just worried about Miss Nangong..."
"So Miss Ziying and Miss Nangong have such a good relationship? If you didn't know, you would think they were just sisters!"
Shu He sneered. Perhaps even she herself couldn't believe this?
"Bah! Who has such a deep sisterly bond with her?" Nangong Xiyun spat at Ziying and said sinisterly, "It's obvious that she's just anxious to use me as a pawn!"
Nangong Ze frowned, very unhappy with Nangong Xiyun's behavior. How could she, a lady from a wealthy family, act like a common woman?
Seeing that Ziying wanted to speak, Shu He interrupted her directly, "Forget it, this is not important, you can say whatever you want."
"However, Miss Nangong, I just heard you say that your brother has arranged soldiers outside your tent?"
Nangong Xiyun nodded, "Yes, he is my eldest brother's personal bodyguard, highly skilled in martial arts, and specially sent to protect my safety."
After all, it is not good for a woman to live in the camp.
If she hadn't lost her voice this time and couldn't speak, causing her three brothers to be heartbroken and plead with their father together, she would probably still have to live alone in the city!
Seeing that she still didn't understand what she meant, Shu He's eyes flashed with silence, and then he reminded her again.
"I heard that people with great martial arts skills have very good hearing..."
"That's right!" Nangong Xiyun drowned out Shu He's voice and shouted excitedly, "When that servant arrived this morning, Zheng Qi and Zheng Ba were outside the tent. They must have heard the conversation inside!"
