A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Chapter 1155 - 928 Truth 7 (Monthly Ticket Request Bonus)

Lu Zezhong’s reminder made the two of them come to their senses and quickly shut their mouths.When they closed their mouths, the scene became much quieter, and the sound of Princess Lianchun’s even breathing came from the phoenix chair.

After the three of them heard clearly, they finally relaxed.

"Alright, let’s not turn against each other. Otherwise, if Ji Youzhi catches hold of a weakness, he will definitely investigate us thoroughly. As long as he has no evidence, even if he tells everything under the heavens in His Majesty’s presence, we can protect ourselves!"

Lu Zezhong said to Li Xu and Liu Yuheng.

Li Xu and Liu Yuheng thought it made sense.

Liu Yuheng quickly said, "Rest assured, Master Lu, I can guarantee that Ji Youzhi will never find any evidence!"

However, in his heart, he thought: Over these years, I’ve turned all evidence into secret account books as my daughter’s dowry register, and did she bring it into the palace? Things in the palace, Ji Youzhi would never dream of finding them.

This lifetime, he’ll never find them!

Liu Yuheng thought to himself.

Li Xu then asked Xiaosuisui.

"Princess, what about me? What has the Divine Hunter found out about me?"

Xiaosuisui looked at Li Xu, "Do you have gold?"

Li Xu: "..."

He gritted his teeth and said, "I, I don’t casually bring gold out with me."

Xiaosuisui casually said, "Then where did you put all your gold? Tell me, and I’ll go get it!"

The secret guards on the beam: "..." They really wanted to shut their ears tight, otherwise sooner or later they would be exposed.

"My gold is naturally at home."

Li Xu thought about the box of gold in the hidden compartment in his study, all of which he accumulated over the years from accepting bribes. The clan needed development, and he’d already sent out quite a bit; otherwise, there would be even more.

Xiaosuisui nodded, "Ah, there’s a box of gold in the hidden compartment of your study, which you’ve accumulated over the years from accepting bribes. I’ll have my seventh uncle set it aside later, not to give it to my foster father, His Majesty; those are meant for me."

When Xiaosuisui said this, Li Xu was completely paralyzed.

"What... what did you say? Ji... Ji Youzhi has already found... found out this much?"

Li Xu’s heart was in a panic, knowing that the hidden compartment indeed held a box of gold, but it also had a mechanism inside. Once triggered, it would pop out a groove where the secret correspondences between him and all the ministers over the years were hidden!

Xiaosuisui listened to all of this, planning to quietly tell her aunt once she stopped pretending to sleep.

"Does anyone else have questions? If not, I’m going."

Xiaosuisui found herself stuck here writing large characters all day, her hands sore, wanting to leave.

"I have!"

Lu Zezhong took out two gold ingots, each weighing ten taels.

Xiaosuisui happily stepped forward and put all those gold ingots into her pouch, delighted.

"Little girl, can you quietly tell me, what evidence does your seventh uncle have?"

"Your crime is the greatest!"

Xiaosuisui spoke bluntly!

Lu Zezhong retorted, "You’re lying; I never bought or sold official positions. All of that was fabricated by your seventh uncle to frame me."

"You did!" Xiaosuisui pointed firmly at Li Xu, "His position is related to you!"

Lu Zezhong was shocked, suddenly recalling something.

Then his thoughts began to race.

Panicked, he thought: This little girl is so sure, does it mean Ji Youzhi really found something?

Hopefully, he only found out that I helped Li Xu seek official positions in court, but couldn’t trace the transactions from thirteen years ago between me and the Li Clan elders.

"Little girl, what does your seventh uncle know? Tell me everything!"

Xiaosuisui thought for a moment, then said, "My seventh uncle knows a lot about your affairs; I don’t know what to tell you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zezhong’s heart began to thump wildly.

He thought: Does Ji Youzhi really know a lot? What could it be? Is this little girl just trying to deceive me?

Thinking of this, Lu Zezhong started to doubt.

Looking at Xiaosuisui in front of him, hugging the gold and gnawing on it, he couldn’t help but wonder.

Can this little girl be so small, and yet not seem to be lying at all?

Could Ji Youzhi really have found something?

Should I ask again, to distinguish whether she’s telling lies to deceive me!

"Ahem! Little girl! I ask you..."

"Princess!" Xiaosuisui reminded him in a childish voice.

She was stern about her title, quite serious.
