Chapter 515 The One Behind the Scenes, the He Family

It was only then when those who knew Yu Mingyong remembered that the person in front of them was Sir Yu, Yu Mingyong who liked to go to the brothel the most. How did he enter King Xuan’s Manor? Considering Yu Mingyong’s character, King Xuan would definitely not invite him. Furthermore, there were no women of Yu Manor coming.

Why did he sneak into King Xuan’s Manor?

The gatekeeper knelt down in front of Feng Yuran and hurriedly reported, “Your Highness, Sir Yu came in after Madam Lian. At that time, Madam Lian got out of the carriage, and Sir Yu said something to her and then came in together. I thought he came with Madam Lian.”

“Madam Lian?” Feng Yuran’s dark eyes landed on the awkward Madam Lian standing by the side, as if ice had formed in his eyes and his handsome face was filled with terrifying dark clouds.

Everyone realized that this prince was really angry. They all stepped back and didn’t dare to say anything, fixing their eyes on Lian An’s wife.

Madam Lian’s face turned red. She opened her mouth but was a little dazed. However, she knew that she could not escape this matter now. She hurried up and said, “Your Highness, I did not know that Sir Yu did not have an invitation. Sir Yu told me about my hometown when I entered. We chatted for a while before entering the manor together. But Sir Yu was gone after we entered.”

Madam Lian felt aggrieved. She had just gotten off the carriage when she ran into Yu Mingyong. She did not like Yu Mingyong who was a well-known playboy in the capital. However, when she left home today, Lian An mentioned to her about Consort Yu and told her that Consort Yu was carrying the Emperor’s child and that she would not offend her relatives.

Because of Lian An’s words, she said a few words to Yu Mingyong. God knew such a thing would happen.

“Somebody, drag Yu Mingyong down and beat him 100 times.” Feng Yuran did not say anything more. He lowered his eyes and suddenly smiled coldly. An evil look of viciousness rose from the depths of his eyes. He looked at Yu Mingyong coldly and his dark pupils glowed with menace. His whole body exuded murderous intent. Everyone present knew that he seemed to have the intention to kill.

Some people wanted to say something nice for Yu Mingyong so that they could please Consort Yu in the future. However, when they saw the blood-thirsty coldness in King Xuan’s eyes, they could not help but shiver. It would not be effective for them to annoy the evil prince in order to win Consort Yu’s favor.

King Xuan was a person who dared to humiliate the Emperor. They didn’t want to save Yu Mingyong, but to be hated by King Xuan.

Immediately, two strong guards came over and reached out like a wolf or a tiger. Each of them grabbed Yu Mingyong’s one shoulder and dragged him out, regardless of his dignity as a nobleman.

“Your Highness, how can you disregard human life? I’m an official too.” Yu Mingyong was shocked and screamed as he struggled. Consort Yu had arranged for him to take a sinecure in the Ministry of Justice, so he was indeed an official.

“So what? You broke into my manor. It is a crime of treason. When you die, I will go to the palace and judge Consort Yu for her lack of discipline for her brother and contempt for the royal family. I will ask Father for justice.” Feng Yuran’s handsome face had a cold smirk on it, and there was a flash in his eyes. He did not care about Consort Yu in the palace at all. Furthermore, he seemed to have the intention of blaming Consort Yu.

No one could afford to conspire against or despise the royal family. Yu Mingyong was truly afraid when he looked at Feng Yuran’s eyes that were filled with bloodthirst and murderous look!

He was a playboy, so it was normal for him to like beautiful women, especially one like Mo Xuetong. He had a crush on her as soon as he saw her. When he heard that he could take this little beauty as his own, he was tempted. He did not care about anything else and thought that he would be released after being beaten 20 times at most, which was worth it for her.

After all, it was a good thing to rescue her. Although it ruined Consort Xuan’s reputation, it was inevitable. There must be many people standing on his side. The worst that could happen was that he got beaten up. Yu Mingyong had prepared for it, but he didn’t expect such a result.

First, the one he had saved wasn’t the beauty he’d taken a fancy to, but was He Yufen.

Thinking of he would die because of a useless He Yufen, he was truly unwilling to accept it. He had wanted to say that Mo Xuetong was having an affair with him earlier. Anyway, it was a matter that no one could make clearly. He could insist that they had an affair. He thought that she was the one who had fallen into the water when he saw that someone had fallen into it, so he rushed over to save her. That was why the farce happened.

But now, he didn’t dare to say that!

Looking at Feng Yuran’s fierce and bloodthirsty face, he suddenly shivered and realized that the beauty was nothing. He was about to lose his life, so why was he still framing Mo Xuetong? King Xuan seemed really angry. Who was this man? He was King Xuan who was so famous in the capital. Who knew what he would do?

If he fell into someone else’s hands, Yu Mingyong was certain that the person would not really kill him. After all, he had Consort Yu backing him up, and he was an official. If he was really killed, the Emperor would not spare anyone. But what about King Xuan, Feng Yuran? Yu Mingyong did not know. He was a lawless person.

Even if King Xuan really killed him, would the Emperor kill his favorite son to avenge him? Maybe his sister would be implicated by him. According to what King Xuan said, he might rush to his sister’s palace and frighten her into a miscarriage. That was terrible. Although Yu Mingyong was a bastard, he really cared about his sister, Consort Yu.

His sister was not only his backing, but also his family and they were dependent on each other!

The real scene in front of him had destroyed all of Yu Mingyong’s thoughts. He had to save his life and not let King Xuan vent his anger on him. When he thought about that, he immediately felt that the people who had come up with the idea had plotted against him. He vented all his hatred on those people. If they had not instigated him, he would not have done something like that.

At this time, he began to feel lucky. Fortunately, it was not Consort Xuan in the lake. Otherwise, he would really die today.

Since those people had plotted against him and were ruthless, they should not hate him for being heartless. He was going to die with them. As such, he might as well blame those people for what he had done. King Xuan might spare his life for the sake of what he said.

“Your Highness, please spare me. Someone asked me to come in and ruin Consort Xuan’s reputation.” Yu Mingyong had already thought it through. He struggled and shouted loudly at Feng Yuran.

Someone deliberately asked Yu Mingyong to ruin Consort Xuan’s reputation? With a buzz, all the people on the scene were boiling with anger. Who dared to plot against Consort Xuan? Didn’t they want to die?

“Take him back,” Feng Yuran ordered coldly.

Someone had already brought over two large chairs made of nanmu wood. Feng Yuran pulled Mo Xuetong to sit down. Some maids and elder maidservants came up to put down the table and served tea. It seemed that they were going to interrogate Yu Mingyong.

Sensing the murderous intent on the scene, all the people stepped back and left a large space.

They found it strange. Who didn’t want to live to frame Consort Xuan? King Xuan was going to make a big deal out of it!

They had no idea who was involved in this matter. Several madams and ladies stepped away from Madam Lian for fear of being involved. If they stood close to her, they might be involved. At the moment, no one stood beside Madam Lian. Those madams who were chatting with her just now all took their sisters away from her.

Whatever the final outcome of the affair, Madam Lian could not escape from it!

This made Madam Lian, who had always been very well-known among noble madams, felt embarrassed and ashamed. Her expression changed. She felt that she was really unlucky today. If her husband hadn’t said those words, she would not have talked to a rich playboy, and she wouldn’t have been involved into this kind of thing.

She… she was just so wronged!

“Tell me, what’s going on?” A cold and vicious look flashed in Feng Yuran’s eyes. Even though there was a smile in his devilish eyes, at the sight of them, others shivered for no reason. The handsome King Xuan, who had always seemed as if he did not care about anything, was really pissed today.

At this time, Yu Mingyong had already been scared to tremble. He didn’t cover up for the He family at all, and pointed at He Yufen, who was just waking up, shouted, “It’s the two people of He family instigated me. They said that as long as I ruined Consort Xuan’s reputation, their daughter would become Consort Xuan, and gets your love.”

At this time, he hated the He family to the core. On that day, he recovered from his injury and was in a good mood to go to the street. After a while in the street, he met the two masters of He family. It reminded him that the second miss of He family was missing and the He family did not give him a satisfying explanation. Then he rushed up and wanted to beat the two masters of the He family.

The two of the He family kept on pleading for forgiveness. Then, they even asked if he wanted to have a beautiful woman. Then, Yu Mingyong was tricked by them. He listened to what they said, and went to King Xuan’s Manor. Looking at King Xuan’s murderous eyes, Yu Mingyong regretted it. He decided that when he left, he would revenge on the He family.

“The He family?”

“Isn’t the He Family King Xuan’s mother’s family? How could they harm Consort Xuan? This… this is too much!”

“That’s nothing? They must be aimed at the position of Consort Xuan. So they want to pull Consort Xuan down from her seat first; then, she will use some tricks to seduce King Xuan. Look at her…it’s really injurious to morals!” Everyone was stunned. Then, someone pointed at He Yufen and mocked her as she was untucked.

The lake water had soaked through her light clothes. She was wearing clothes that looked extremely carefree today. The clothes had seeped through the water and stuck to her body. Yu Mingyong had loosened a few parts of her clothes. When he pushed her onto the ground just now, a few more parts of her clothes loosened. At the moment, she was scantily clad. A few young masters could not help but peek at her, but was pinched by the madams who were standing by their sides. They all felt that He Yufen was seductive.

She was really detestable.

“Do you have any evidence to prove that the He family wants to harm Tong’er? Without proof, it would be the crime of framing the relative of the royal family. Yu Mingyong, do you think you can take it?” Feng Yuran’s expression was cold and his pretty eyes shone. It seemed as if he did not care at all. However, everyone knew that King Xuan was just too angry. They could not help but look at Madam Lian. They remembered that Yu Mingyong had said that he had come in with her. Could it be that even Minister Lian was involved in the matter?

But why did Minister Lian do this? Did he just want to please Consort Zhao?

It was said that King Xuan didn’t like the He family. Previously, although the He family was in the capital, he didn’t invite them to the banquet. Later, when Consort Zhao came out from behind the scenes, Madam Lian strongly promoted the gentleness and wisdom of Second Miss He, so that Second Miss He entered the well-known families’ domain.

It was said that she even had been to the imperial palace.

However, no one expected that the He family had such an ambition that they even plotted against their nephew for the sake of wealth and glory. It really made people feel that the He family was unscrupulous and cruel. Now that the He family did this, what about Concubine Zhao, who had always been gentle and generous, in the palace.
