Listening to the two argue, Yun Lei quickly developed a headache.
However, he did not pay attention to Chiang Xuancheng and Liu Shi, instead, he looked at Yun Qianxue with a disappointed look on his face.
He had thought that this daughter was smart and talented, and would surely have a good future. He had tried his best to cultivate her, hoping that one day she could help elevate the Yun family to new heights. Unfortunately, she seemed more and more incompetent. Not only could she not fight against Yun Qianyu, she had now also completely ruined her reputation.
After today’s event, it would no longer be possible for her to marry a noble or royal.
The more Yun Lei thought about it, the more depressed he became. With the two quarreling beside him, Yun Lei suddenly yelled out, “Stop it.”
Liu Shi and Chiang Xuancheng were both shocked into silence and looked toward him.
At that moment, the sounds of footsteps could be heard coming from outside. Minister Jiang from the Minister of Justice had arrived, accompanied by some of his men.
Minister Jiang immediately felt a headache coming on when he saw the scene unfolding in front of him.
Both the Chiang and Yun family were powerful families. One had a crown prince while the other had the Huai Prince. They had always been enemies, but they were usually subtle with their moves. Recently, they had become more and more blatant.
As soon as Chiang Xuancheng saw Minister Jiang, he said in a cold and calm voice, “Minister Jiang, you must make a judgment on this matter. If I suspect even the slightest bias, I don’t mind bringing this matter to the Emperor.”
After Chiang Xuancheng said that, Yun Lei’s face darkened. In a bad mood, Yun Lei did not understand why his daughter would appear in this courtyard with a dead person. Worse yet, the dead person was someone from the Chiang family.
‘Has someone framed my daughter? Logically she would not have any reason to be with this member of the Chiang family.’
Pondering about it, Yun Lei glared at Chiang Xuancheng and said, “Chiang Xuancheng, go to the Emperor if you want. Do you think I’m afraid of that situation?”
Chiang Xuancheng pointed to Minister Jiang and said, “Minister Jiang, aren’t you going to arrest this woman?”
Yun Lei interjected, “What arresting? As of now there’s no evidence that my daughter has killed your nephew.”
Although Yun Lei was disappointed with Yun Qianxue, she was still someone he cared for from a young age. Naturally, he didn’t want anything bad to happen to her.
Minister Jiang was looking around the scene when one of his men suddenly reported, “Sir, there is a bloody handprint on the handle of this knife. The size doesn’t seem to be a woman’s.”
After hearing that, everyone looked over. Sure enough, there was a bloody handprint on the handle of the knife.
Seeing this, Chiang Xuancheng became silent.
Yun Lei glared at him fiercely and ordered Minister Jiang, “Minister, immediately check if that print matches my daughter’s hand.”
A person quickly came up and carefully pulled out the knife with a white handkerchief. After that, the man came up to Yun Qianxue.
Since Yun Qianxue was not in the right state of mind and had received a good beating from Chiang Xuancheng, she became terrified when the man approached her. Like a terrified rat, Yun Qianxue screamed and crawled back.
Liu Shi quickly hugged her daughter and tried to calm her down.
When Yun Qianxue was slightly calmer, Liu Shi signaled the man to check the bloody handprint against her daughter’s hand. After putting them side by side, it was obvious that the bloody handprint did not belong to Yun Qianxue.
