Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 711 - The Release of Her Brother

Chapter 711 The Release of Her Brother

Now the family reunion made all members of the mansion radiant with joy.
With red eyes, Lin Mengya broke away from her brother and pulled him to their father.
“Father, I’m sorry for being unfilial and bringing shame to you,” Lin Nansheng said.
As the saying went, men must not go down on their knees easily. However, Lin Nansheng felt an indescribable sense of guilt in front of his father.
Of course, he had learned his father’s resignation when he was in prison.
At the thought that both his father and sister had been implicated by him, he found it pretty hard to swallow.
If he hadn’t been careless, those people wouldn’t have been able to find evidence against him despite their craftiness.
Although he hated those people, he hated himself even more.
“I’m gratified since you’re fine. Sheng’er, you don’t have to blame yourself for what has happened,” seeing that his son was fine, Lin Muzhi said with a relieved look.
When his wife passed away, she was most worried about their two children.
Now that they were around him, he didn’t consider it a pity to lose those worldly possessions.
Lin Mengya, who had been over-excited, gradually calmed down.
Glancing at the spies, who were watching over them at the corner of the street, she advised in a soft voice, “Father, Brother, let’s talk after getting in.”
“Okay, let’s get in,” Lin Muzhi said, rubbed his eyes, and walked into the mansion with his son’s help.
Lin Mengya deliberately walked behind them, and she whispered something to a servant, who stood aside, before following her father and brother back into the mansion.
Although her brother had been detained in the prison of the government office for a few days, he was in good spirits.
Lin Mengya immediately told her brother about Mao Yuze.
Learning what his previous close friend had done for him, her brother finally got over the misery of being betrayed.
“This time, we really need to express our gratitude to your Eldest Senior Fellow Apprentice. If it weren’t for him, you probably wouldn’t have been able to get out of trouble so easily,” as Lin Mengya said, she personally served her brother a cup of tea.
Hongyu and the other maids had spent a long while making her brother step over the brazier and spraying the water, where grapefruit leaves had been soaked, on him. After that, Lin Mengya and her father and brother could finally sit in the parlor and drink tea.
“My Eldest Senior Fellow Apprentice has always been kind and righteous. At first, I didn’t believe he had betrayed me. However, Shangguan Qing presented the token, which only belonged to my Eldest Senior Fellow Apprentice, Third Junior Fellow Apprentice and me. So I misunderstood my Eldest Senior Fellow Apprentice and thought he was the wire-puller. Alas, it’s all my fault for being careless so that they almost succeeded in their plot.” At the mention of this, Lin Nansheng still looked guilty.
In fact, even if his Eldest Senior Fellow Apprentice was behind this, he had planned to keep it a secret.
If his sister had not been implicated, he would not have bothered his former fellow apprentices.
Of course, Lin Mengya knew what was going on in her brother’s mind. She was speechless, thinking he was such a fool too loyal to his friends.
“It’s not your fault. The Shangguan Family has always been so cunning that it was difficult for you to take precautions against them alone. Speaking of this, if I hadn’t made a compromise back then, you and Ya’er wouldn’t have suffered this calamity,” Lin Muzhi said.
Seeing that their family reunion had turned into a self-examination meeting, Lin Mengya could only roll her eyes helplessly in her heart.
People usually would try every way to shift the blame when something terrible happened.
However, her father and brother tried so hard to blame themselves.
“Stop it, Father, Brother, stop blaming yourselves for others’ fault. But Brother, these days I’ve been inquiring the servants in our mansion about the details of your being framed, but none of them knows. Now that you’re back, shouldn’t you explain it to Father and me?” Lin Mengya asked.
Her brother’s returning definitely didn’t mean the case had been closed.
Since the Shangguan Family dared to do this, they must intend to exterminate the Lin Family.
If it were not for her and her father’s efforts to delay the trial, coupled with Long Tianyu’s pulling strings, the Shangguan Family probably would have had time to deal with them.
In order to solve this crisis completely, she must trace to the source.
“In fact, I should talk about it from that night. When I just came back from the Imperial Palace, Lin Mengwu said that her mother was ill, so she asked to send for a doctor. Of course, I didn’t believe her words, so I went to see her mother in person. Sure enough, her mother was seriously ill, so I allowed her to send for a doctor. Unexpectedly, the next day, Lin Mengwu asked to meet me again, saying that her mother had recovered and wanted to thank me. I tried hard to refuse, but I finally let them in as they made quite a scene. Unexpectedly, after they came in, they insulted me and then smashed things in the study like crazy women. I rushed over to stop them, but I didn’t expect Shangguan Qing to pester me and even draw a dagger to injure herself. After that, a group of servants suddenly rushed in and claimed that they saw I attempted to kill her, which is tremendously ridiculous,” Lin Nansheng explained in detail, and Lin Mengya learned the whole story.
In theory, it should be a very simple slander problem, but the group of false witnesses made it a little knotty.
But this kind of case was easy to try. As long as the officers interrogated the witnesses separately and found out the contradictory points of their testimonies, they would give themselves away.
However, her real concern was the so-called evidence of treason.
When Lin Mengya asked about this, she saw Lin Nansheng’s face change a little.
“I don’t know who placed the evidence in my study. Moreover, it wasn’t discovered by me, but was discovered by one of the constables who came to search my study. The evidence included not only a letter where my handwriting was imitated, but also a map of troops deployed in the border area. What’s more, the evidence was so real that even I couldn’t tell it was fake,” when Lin Nansheng speaking of this, his heart was still palpitating with fear.
Even he almost believed that those things belonged to him.
Moreover, everything mentioned in the letter was confidential to the three of them, and he had even gradually forgotten some of the things mentioned, which sent a chill down his spine.
“So that explains it. No wonder you thought Mao Yuze was behind this. But Brother, in this case, why did His Majesty detain you in the prison of the government office instead of the prison of the Ministry of War?” Lin Mengya asked.
In the beginning, she had thought that the Emperor wanted to do her father a favor, so he tried to avoid making this significant.
However, if the government office got conclusive evidence as her brother said, even her father would not be able to get away with it.
In this case, the Emperor’s attitude was abnormal.
“Uh, His Majesty probably did that out of consideration for you and father. Oh, in the past few days when I was detained in the prison, they bled me repeatedly. The warden claimed that they did that perfunctorily to avoid arouse controversy. However, I have an intuition that there’s something fishy about this, but I can’t tell what it is,” Lin Nansheng said.
Her brother had been bled in prison?
Lin Mengya was immediately alerted by this abnormal behavior.
After inquiring about the location of her brother’s wounds, she rolled up his sleeve to take a look.
Indeed, there were plenty of tiny scars on her brother’s right arm.
It seemed that they had done nothing other than bleeding her brother.
However, what was the use of her brother’s blood?
Lin Mengya came up with various possibilities, but finally kept them to herself.
But she was aware that there must be something fishy about this.
“This is really strange, but we don’t have any evidence. By the way, Father hopes that you can go back to our hometown, Prefecture Bing, with him a few days later,” Lin Mengya said.
The Emperor only released her brother, but didn’t restore her brother to his original post at the same time.
Generally speaking, in her brother’s case, he would not be put in an important position in the future unless something unexpected happened.
There was a flash of reluctance in Lin Nansheng’s eyes when he heard the news.
However, given their family’s current situation, he could do nothing about it even if he stayed.
After a while, Lin Nansheng could only nod with a bitter smile and said, “I’ll obey the arrangement of you and Father.”
It was never too late to take revenge. What was more, the Lin Family was in a troubled time now. It was not a bad idea to leave here.
But one day, he would come back.
When the time came, those, who had tried to destroy the Lin Family, would have to pay for it!
“Okay. Father, a few days ago, didn’t I tell you that I wanted to choose a man as Mengwu’s husband? I’ve already found the man and exchanged betrothal gifts with the man’s family. They are eager to hold the wedding ceremony, so I’ve scheduled the wedding ceremony for three days later. Although the arrangement is a little hasty, it’s indeed a rare auspicious day for a wedding ceremony,” Lin Mengya said.
This time Lin Muzhi and Lin Nansheng were astonished.
Nevertheless, because of what Shangguan Qing had done, both of them had no favorable impression of Lin Mengwu, who was Shangguan Qing’s accomplice.
Since Lin Mengya had made the arrangement, they naturally accepted it soon.
“Well, Father, Brother, you can go have some rest now and leave all domestic affairs to me,” Lin Mengya said.
With her in charge of the mansion, Lin Nansheng and Lin Muzhi naturally had no objection.
Moreover, Lin Mengya had arranged for them to leave on the day when Lin Mengwu got married.
In fact, they were well aware that Lin Mengya planned to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
The Shangguan Family would not miss Lin Mengwu’s wedding ceremony easily.
When the Shangguan Family was occupied with Lin Mengwu’s wedding ceremony, it would be much safer for Lin Muzhi and Lin Nansheng to leave.
Besides, Long Tianyu sent back a message that the Emperor was going to welcome Mao Yuze, the messenger, to the Capital City in a big way three days later.
On that day, the entire Capital City would be bustling.
After making arrangements for her father and brother, Lin Mengya returned to her courtyard.
At this moment, the servant she had sent out earlier was quietly waiting to report in her room.
