Chapter 64

  Breakthrough

  "Nonsense!" Yin Ruo Fei sneered, "I advise you to confess the truth as soon as possible, or else you'll suffer physical pain."

  "Does Seventh Young Master dare to act but not dare to take responsibility?" The little maid cried sorrowfully, "Young Master Hou, you must avenge the mistress!"

  "Your mother is not dead yet, what are you shouting about."

  Before long, the doctor came in, felt Chen's pulse and slowly shook his head. "Lord Hou, please restrain your grief, Madame is gone..."

  "What?" Yin Haicheng was completely bewildered as to what had happened. First, Madame Chen cried out that she wasn't feeling well and asked him to come take a look. He arrived at the main hall just in time to see his son also arriving. Then he discovered that Madame Chen had been struck on the head with a vase by someone and was on her last breath. Next, a young maid appeared and pointed out that the murderer was none other than his own youngest son.

  He now has two things he doesn't understand: why Chen died like that and how his son became a murderer.

  It seemed that Yin Haicheng didn't believe her, so the little girl crawled a few steps on her knees and pointed at the wide open window, "Master Hou, Master Hou, just now after Seventh Young Master killed Madame, he escaped from this very window."

  That is the rear window of the bedroom, from here jump out and turn around once, it doesn't take much time.

  Yin Haicheng's expression changed suddenly.

  "Master Hou, a few days ago, Seventh Master came back and was rude to the mistress. The two of them parted on bad terms. Later, Second Miss came over to argue with the mistress about this matter, which made the mistress so angry that she couldn't sleep for several nights." Yu Lan tearfully kowtowed to Yin Hai Cheng, "The mistress hid this from you and didn't dare tell you, fearing it would ruin your father-son relationship. Who knew something like this would happen? The mistress is really wronged..."

  Yin Haicheng's heart sank to the bottom, the person in his arms was gradually losing temperature, he felt a little at a loss for the first time. He couldn't believe that his young son would do such a thing, but everyone pointed at him and said he was the murderer.

  "Fei Er..." Yin Hai Cheng gave Yin Ruo Fei a chance to explain.

  Yin Ruofei smiled calmly and said, "Thanks, Father still believes me." Unlike in his previous life, he didn't interrupt him or break his leg and drive him out of the Hou Mansion.

  "Seventh Grandfather, don't try to talk your way out of this anymore! I still have the threatening letter you wrote in my hands!"

  "Bring it here and let me see!" Yin Haicheng was furious when he heard that there was a letter, and as soon as the letter was unfolded, the words were rough and extremely rude. If he were Chen Shi, he would have been so angry that he almost died on the spot.

  Yin Ruofei walked over nonchalantly, looked at the words on top and smiled with pursed lips, "Want to frame me? First take a look at my handwriting before framing me."

  Yin Ruofei's courtyard has been managed by people appointed by the old lady since he fell into the water. It's almost as isolated as an iron bucket, and nothing can be leaked out from his courtyard. Moreover, he hasn't lived in the mansion for a long time, and it's hard to find even half a letter written by him in the study room.

  A sound of footsteps came from outside, Jin Yuan walked in and saw Yin Haicheng and Yin Ruofei. He frowned, "What's going on?"

  "The servant girl of my mother said I killed my mother."

  "What?" Jin Yuan almost thought his ears had gone wrong, "Mother she?"

  "The mistress has gone..." The kneeling maids shouted.

  "Nonsense, I..."

  "Big brother!" Yin Ruofei smiled slightly and stopped Jin Yuan's words.

  Jin Yuan saw Yin Ruofei slightly shaking her head at him, although he didn't know what it meant, but he stopped talking and watched the situation unfold with a cold gaze.

  "Father." Yin Ruofei bowed to Yin Haicheng, "Today's matter, in the end, is aimed at his son, let his son come and distinguish right from wrong!"

  Yin Haicheng nodded slowly, his mind still a bit muddled. Seeing that his eldest son seemed to know something and his youngest son was full of confidence, he let them go.

  Mr. Chen was greatly disturbed by this matter, and Mr. Chen was not a big Lin family, the Chen family was also a earl's mansion, his father and brother were all officials in the court, this matter came out, it was very troublesome. Not to mention that he could not be at peace, the future of several children in the family was also ruined.

  Yin Haicheng's mind was racing as he calculated that this might be the doing of his youngest son, and how to smooth things over.

  If Yin Ruofei knew what he was thinking in his heart, he would definitely be surprised and could not have imagined that this cold-blooded father still had a day to consider for him.

  Yin Ruofei held the so-called threatening letter he wrote in his hand, slowly walking to the kneeling Xiaoyu's face, "You said this letter was written by me, but you don't know who brought it in?"

  "It was Seventh Grandfather who sent it himself."

  "A joke, since I've seen my mother's face, won't I say something to her face-to-face? Do I still need to send a letter?" Yin Ruofei threw the letter in front of Xiaoyazi, "If you don't speak, I'll have to use torture."

  Xiao Yaotou's whole body shook, and she looked up at Yin Haicheng, only to see that Yin Haicheng's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, as if he hadn't heard anything.

  "Guards!" Jin Yuan had been seething with anger since someone dared to slander his beloved brother in front of him. Upon hearing Yin Ruofei suggest using torture, he immediately called for his personal guards to come forward, "Have them slapped."

  Before the little girl could even cry out, a personal guard had already slapped her four times, leaving her face red and swollen with blood streaming from the corner of her mouth. These people were all personally selected by Yin Haicheng for Jin Yuan, sent to the military together since childhood to undergo training, their martial strength far surpassing that of ordinary servants.

  "Remember? If not, let him continue to help you." Yin Ruofei's face was smiling, as if afraid of scaring the other party, speaking softly.

  "Ah, I remember..." The little girl's mouth was so swollen she could hardly speak. This was still thanks to the mercy of that imperial guard earlier; otherwise, with four slaps on her face, she probably wouldn't have been able to say a word.

  "Speak up, but you'd better think carefully, or else don't blame me for being ruthless." Yin Ruofei saw Xiaoyazi trembling all over and smiled with satisfaction. "Where did that letter come from?"

  "Yes, it was sent by Young Master Hou's servant." The little maid said with her head down.

  Yin Ruofei and Jin Yuan exchanged a glance, "Dad."

  "Which one?" Yin Haicheng heard that there was something about himself, and immediately frowned. Seeing the little girl pointing outside the door, Jin Yuan immediately understood, and had the small servant who had been let to the side by Yin Ruofei earlier pulled in.

  As for his own son Yin Haicheng, he still had some expectations. As for a servant, where would he be polite? He scolded him at once, "What's going on, speak!"

  The young servant had been watched by someone sent by Yin Ruofei just now, and he knew it was not good, but there was no chance to escape at all, and now he almost collapsed.

  "Where did you get that letter from?"

  "It was Seventh Grandfather who brought it back."

  "Did I give it to you personally? How come I don't remember?"

  "Is... is he your attendant by your side?"

  "Oh? Is it a little eunuch who gave it to you?"

  "It's just a little eunuch."

  Yin Haicheng couldn't take it anymore and came over with a kick, knocking the person down. "Fart!"

  Even if Yin Ruofei is a companion reader of King Ze, even if he lives in the palace, how can he still order the eunuchs around? This is usurpation!

  Actually, Yin Haicheng didn't know that in the Ze Wang Fu, those little eunuchs were eager to be ordered around by Yin Ruofei. One part of them was Ze Wang's trusted followers, and the other part was sent over by the Emperor's Empress Dowager to serve Ze Wang well. Their purpose was just one, to serve their master well and strive to become the red eunuch beside their master.

  Yin Ruofei was the first person by Ze Wang's side, and also the closest one. He could be ordered around, but in return, he would get a few words of praise from Ze Wang, which was their greatest happiness. However, Yin Ruofei was cautious and only gave orders to two small eunuchs beside him, not to anyone else. Even when facing those two eunuchs who were assigned to him, he still had a gentle face.

  Don't you see, being good to others is being good to oneself. This is the most basic way of becoming a good person, a genuinely good person!

  "Say, who exactly instructed you to frame Fei'er!" At this point, Yin Haicheng also felt that something was off. Someone had killed Chen Shi and framed his son - was this aimed at his son alone, or did they want to harm his entire family?

  "Master Hou..." The young servant wanted to say more, but Yin Haicheng had already kicked him in the face. The servant let out a pained cry and closed his eyes, only to discover that the kick he had imagined did not land. He opened his eyes again, trembling with fear, and saw that two young masters were holding Master Hou back. "Master Hou, I'll tell you everything..."

  The little servant had already been intimidated and the person who originally instructed him only told him to deliver the message as evidence, saying a lot of good things, but didn't tell him that there was actually a risk to his life.

  "It was Third Master who entrusted me with this, telling me to deliver this letter here. Third Master told me that as long as I testify that this is written by Seventh Master, he will reward me with 50 taels of silver. I was momentarily blinded by greed, please spare my life, Your Excellency!"

  "Bring me that rebellious son!"

  "Master Hou, you must take responsibility for Madame. No matter who wrote this letter, but Madame died at the hands of Seventh Master! " Youlan wailed and knocked her head on the ground, "Master Hou, aren't you afraid that the Fu Yongbo Mansion will come to demand someone from you?"

  Yin Haicheng's face turned iron-green with rage, a mere maid-in-waiting dared to threaten him. He was not afraid of the Rich Yong Bo Fu, but this was a matter of life and death, and it couldn't be suppressed by sheer power.

  “Father, don't be anxious.” Yin Ruofei smiled slightly. “I just returned home today and suddenly received news that mother was unwell. At the time, I didn't think much of it and came over immediately. But as soon as I reached the door, I saw father had also arrived, and inside the house was in complete disarray. Could it be that someone had planned this all along?”

  "Seventh Master, don't try to talk your way out of this. It's clear that you killed someone and jumped out the window, then came back around from behind." Youlan said through gritted teeth.

  "Are you just going to take the word of a little maid?" Yin Ruo Fei sneered, "She was just swearing that I had sent letters to Mother, but now it's suddenly Third Brother who sent them? I think it's clear that you're in cahoots with Third Brother and killed Mother!"

  "Dad, dad, I'm innocent!" Jin Hong had just been dragged to the door when he heard Yin Ruofei's accusation and was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and cried out in protest.

  "Third Brother, don't be in a hurry to shout injustice, do you recognize this little fellow?" Yin Ruofei kicked the little fellow with one foot, "Don't you quickly tell your Third Master again?"

  Jin Hong's face turned white, and looking at Yin Haicheng's almost murderous expression, he became somewhat incoherent. "Dad, it...it was Seventh Brother who framed me, I have nothing to do with this..."

  "Seventh Master, don't implicate others anymore. Even if you didn't write that letter, this person was still killed by you, and there are witnesses! " Yu Lan's eyes burst with hatred, while Fang Lan and Yue Lan on the side were staring at the development of events in shock. They were very sad about the death of their mistress, but how could Yu Lan be so sure it was Seventh Master who did it?

  "If I were to prove that I'm not the one who killed my mother?" Yin Ruofei didn't seem tense at all, instead, he had a smile on his face, leaving everyone except Jin Yuan bewildered.

  "If you can prove it, I naturally have nothing to say."

  "Alright." Yin Ruofei nodded and suddenly shouted loudly towards the outside of the door, "Mother, is this play still exciting?"

  The author has something to say: Yesterday, my son Wang Jianqiang was born, everyone applauds and throws flowers.

  Today everyone's comments must exceed 25 words. To celebrate the birth of my son, I'm sending a small red envelope, please don't laugh and accept it graciously~~~~~
