Chapter 526 - 530: Holding the Fort for Her
Lou Zhaonian did not anticipate Ran Xiangsi saying such a thing, turning the situation back on him. For a moment, he was stunned, standing there in place.
On the other hand, Xiahou Chunyi, who was sitting among the crowd, saw this and his peach blossom eyes filled with a smile.
"Aunt, your daughter-in-law is quite capable. Normally, if someone is falsely accused of murder like this, and the officer himself orders her arrest, they would be trembling with fear, right? But she isn’t afraid at all? She even dares to set up the old officer? To have such bravery at such a young age, no wonder the second brother is so fond of her."
When Xiahou Xiu Yun looked at Ran Xiangsi, she was full of admiration.
"Xiangsi is a child I liked at first sight. She would never do such a thing. I think the entire Lou Family is lying, making things difficult for my daughter-in-law." Xiahou Xiu Yun said, starting to get angry.
The Xiahou Family holds a high status, and no one has ever dared to bully anyone from the Xiahou Family.
Besides, Xiahou Xiu Yun married Xing Chen’s father and was pampered by him in such a family, how could she allow her beloved daughter-in-law to be treated like this?
"Chunyi, you handle this, and settle this matter for Xiangsi." Xiahou Xiu Yun assigned Xiahou Chunyi his next task directly, without leaving any room for discussion.
"Aunt, don’t worry. With second brother here, is there anything he can’t handle?"
...
Seeing that Lou Zhaonian had been silent for a long time without saying anything, Lou Xinyu grew anxious.
She was terrified of being sent to prison again.
She had been there once.
Damp, dark, with heavy iron doors, uniforms marked with prisoner numbers, and a group of inmates locked up for their crimes.
She would never go back in her life!
She would rather die than go back!
Clenching her teeth, Lou Xinyu stepped forward, pointing at Ran Xiangsi and said, "Don’t try to confuse everyone! You killed Gu Beichuan, and Ding Jia saw it with her own eyes! Gu Beichuan only teased you a little, and you exterminated the entire Gu Family! Ran Xiangsi, you are so ruthless... people like you deserve to die long ago!"
Ran Xiangsi’s clear eyes darkened slightly as she listened to Lou Xinyu’s words.
Although she did not kill Gu Beichuan, his departure was indeed a fact, and now Ding Jia had brought out the photos from that night.
The people below were not fools. Even if they didn’t believe Ding Jia completely, they at least believed her seventy to eighty percent.
There’s a saying, ’where there’s smoke, there’s fire.’ That photo was the main culprit.
Ran Xiangsi began to have a headache. How could she clear her name?
If only Gu Beichuan could appear just once.
But ever since that night of the shipwreck, Gu Beichuan had disappeared without a trace, and she hadn’t thought of looking for him. What should she do now?
Seeing Ran Xiangsi in silence for a while, Xing Chen knew that she might have run out of ideas.
However, she had managed to hold her own for this long, which was already quite remarkable.
Next, he would take over and hold the fort for her.
With a slight lift of his slender steps, Xing Chen walked slowly to Ran Xiangsi, skillfully wrapping his arm around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace.
Ran Xiangsi was stunned for a moment, quickly looking up at him, but only saw his distinctly contoured profile.
So incredibly handsome.
