Chapter 282: So your injury is...
"It's hard to say whether that person is going to die soon, but the situation should not be optimistic, otherwise the people below would not dare to act like this and defy the authority."
"As for Qiao Wenjin, he is a very cunning person. In terms of strategies and tactics, he is no less capable than those old foxes in the court."
Ling Chuan paused while speaking, then looked intently at the young man who was listening attentively.
"Mo'er, do you still remember the time when I was injured?"
"Of course I remember!" Xia Mo glared at the man unhappily. It would have been fine if he hadn't said that. As soon as he said that, she couldn't help getting angry and feeling sour.
"What? From your evaluation, it seems that you admire him quite a lot?" Xia Mo smiled wryly, thinking that if this person dared to say yes, he would be dead!
The boy's thoughts were written all over his face, which made Ling Chuan chuckle, and then he quickly expressed his loyalty.
"No, people with different ideals cannot work together. When his plan is against me, I guess no one will think well of him."
Xia Mo's eyebrows jumped, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked at the man sharply: "What do you mean?"
Could it be that there was something else behind Brother Chuan's injury? Was it this Qiao who did it?!
As soon as this thought came to his mind, all the sour bubbles in Xia Mo's heart burst, and were replaced by a raging fury: This girl actually dared to plot against his man!
As expected, his thoughts were confirmed by the man's words the next second.
"In fact, I could have returned earlier that time, and I was not injured, but it just so happened that the night before I was about to leave, I overheard the conversation between Qiao Wenjin and Prince Qiao."
Xia Mo pursed her lips slightly, her face tense, and she suppressed her anger and didn't yell at Qiao. Instead, she asked calmly, "Then, what did you hear?"
"They said, 'That person clearly intended to recall me. Since the Third Prince is plotting against me, why don't I just close my eyes and jump into the trap? Now that he has helped me, it is equivalent to helping us. In addition, Gao Jianren's rebellion means that he will never stand on the side of the Third Prince again. As for the other ones, they are not as close to us as we are.'"
Perhaps thinking of the scene at that time, a cold light and disgust flashed in Ling Chuan's eyes as he spoke.
After hearing this, Xia Mo became even more furious. He slapped the table and swore.
"Fuck! This guy is so shameless!"
Then he glared at the man again.
"Then how did you get injured? Were you discovered while eavesdropping? Did they mistake you for an assassin?"
Xia Mo felt sad when he thought that he had never told her these things.
Brother Chuan has suffered a lot. Not only has his future been ruined, but these people actually want to squeeze out every last bit of his value!
Ling Chuan frowned and looked at the young man's hand that was slapping the table with a disapproving look.
He reached out and pulled it open, and found that his palm was indeed red. "Does it hurt? Don't be so hard next time."
Ling Chuan looked down at him, his magnetic voice mixed with a hint of pity. Compared with the injustice he had suffered, it seemed that the pain in this man's hand was more worthy of his concern.
Xia Mo felt that he had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, so he pulled his hand back angrily.
"I won't let you see it, so tell the truth quickly. Were they the ones who caused your injury?" Xia Mo said sternly.
Ling Chuan looked up and knew that the boy was really angry, so he quickly said, "I wasn't discovered, but the injury was indeed caused by this incident."
"Since they were setting me up, how could I really let them reap the benefits? So I went back and thought about it for half a night, and decided to divert the blame to someone else. While getting myself out of trouble, I also caused them some trouble."
Xia Mo's heart was happy for a moment, but then it cooled down in an instant, "So you were slandered when you were doing this?"
"Yeah." Ling Chuan responded solemnly.
"The two princes have always fought fiercely. The third prince plotted against Qiao Wenjin in order to chop off the eldest prince's left and right arms, but he didn't know that Qiao Wenjin was using him."
"He thought he had a sure win, and never thought that he would give his opponent an advantage, so I deliberately exposed the eldest prince's spy lurking in his camp and attributed the credit for Qiao Wenjin's escape to him."
Once the spies are discovered, the Third Prince will conduct strict investigations on his subordinates, and perhaps he will be able to remove many of the spies planted by others.
As for the eldest prince, Qiao Wenjin and his gang failed to achieve their goal. Not only did they fail to target Brother Chuan, they also forced the third prince to undergo a major blood change. The hatred escalated, and he probably had blood stuck in his throat, feeling suffocated.
After Xia Mo figured this out, the anger that was stuck in his chest also released a little.
He clenched his fists and said bitterly: "It serves them right! Let them fight each other and end up with a mouth full of fur!" Let them bully his brother Chuan!
Staring at the angry young man, tenderness flashed across Ling Chuan's eyes. He moved the stool closer, raised his hand, and wrapped his big palm around the small hand that was waving as if to hit someone.
"Mo'er, I didn't mean to hide these from you. I thought I would never be involved in these things again, but I didn't expect that after all these twists and turns, I still couldn't completely cut it off. Don't be angry with me."
The worst thing is when old men act like a spoiled child.
The four looked at each other and Xia Mo retreated.
He lowered his eyes, and his uncertain gaze fell on the two people's clasped hands.
"I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at them! They are so despicable! If you hadn't seen through me, I would have been led by them by the nose!"
"It's all in the past. It doesn't matter if no one has discovered it. No one can control me as long as I don't want to." The man's tone was flat, but there was deep meaning in his black eyes as he stared at the young man.
Therefore, when Xia Mo looked up, he met his eyes as deep as the sea, and his heartstrings were inexplicably touched. The hand he was holding seemed to be burned, and he withdrew it awkwardly.
Xia Mo suddenly felt a little thirsty, so he drank some tea and said, "I know. But Brother Chuan, I think if they knew about our relationship with the Liu family, they would not let it go."
Liu Qiuwu said in the letter that in addition to other benefits, they also wanted to use Aunt Yun's information as a bargaining chip.
If Qiao Wenjin and the others didn't know that Brother Chuan had seen through their ugly faces, they would probably rush to get close to him, and if that didn't work, they would even try to repay the favor.
After all, it's been tried before.
"We don't need to be afraid of them. Besides, I did gain something else when I set up a trap for the eldest prince's spy."
"Wow!" Xia Mo was surprised. "Brother Chuan, it seems that you have gained a lot from this trip."
Ling Chuan smiled, "Indeed. Mo'er, guess what I found in the Third Prince's Mansion?"
"Is it corruption? Collusion with foreign nations? It's played out this way in TV dramas and novels, but in the end it's really tragic because you're trying to get the skin of a tiger." Xia Mo lowered his voice and said without thinking.
Ling Chuan had already seriously studied the world of the little brother, and knew what this TV series and novel were about, but...
"No."
"Ah? Not really? Hmm... I can't guess then."
Xia Mo gave up thinking and stared at the man with his bright eyes, asking him to stop keeping him in suspense.
