Chapter 1462 - 1466: Is It Fact or Fabrication

She slowly squatted down, leaned closer to the old man’s mouth, furrowed her brows, and softly asked, "Grandpa, do you have something to say to me?"

The old man really wanted to tell Xia Qingqian that he knew it wasn’t her, that someone was trying to frame her, and he was worried that this matter would hurt the good girl standing before him.

However, he couldn’t say a word, only held Xia Qingqian’s hand tightly and stared at her without blinking.

Ling Mei saw the old man’s hand suddenly move, and it scared her so much that her heart jumped. She quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying, "The old man is tired and needs rest. You all should leave now!"

"Get out!" Beitang Yao stood up, watching Ling Mei’s change, "Beitang Courtyard, take your woman and get out of the castle. I will definitely find out the reason for Grandpa’s stroke! If you don’t leave now, when I find out what happened, you’ll have to bear the consequences completely!"

"Why should we get out? Beitang Courtyard is your father, is this how you speak to your elders? Do you have any manners at all?" Ling Mei coldly snorted from her nose. Now, even Lao Chen was standing on their side, why should she be afraid? She didn’t believe Beitang Yao could really dominate the entire castle!

Beitang Yao’s icy eyes narrowed, and in his deep black eyes, a cold and sharp light reflected!

"Young Master!" Just before Beitang Yao could get angry, Ye Feng pushed the door open and came in, accompanied by several servants.

Ling Mei saw them and her legs went weak, almost unable to stand.

"Ye Feng, tell everything," Beitang Yao said faintly to Ye Feng.

"Yes, Young Master." Ye Feng responded, looking at the servants behind him, and said, "Sister Chen, you speak first, tell everything you know. Was Miss Xia being framed true or fabricated? If true, why would Miss Xia do this? If it’s slander, why did you slander her?"

Sister Chen seemed to have found an organization, with Young Master Yao as a backing, she feared nothing and spilled everything, pointing to Ling Mei, "All this was under the instructions of the Second Madam, who learned that the old master genuinely liked Miss Xia, so she wanted to take advantage of Young Master Yao’s absence to matchmake Young Master Che with Miss Xia."

"Why did you help the Second Madam do this?" Ye Feng asked.

Ling Mei’s legs were not only weak but she was also too angry to say anything! She just shook fiercely, glaring at Sister Chen, as if she wanted to swallow her alive!

Sister Chen said sadly, "The Second Madam said if I didn’t cooperate and take all the blame on myself, she would trouble my family. I knew well what kind of person the Second Madam is, so I would rather offend Young Master Yao than dare to offend the Second Madam..."

"It’s your turn, say everything you know, don’t be afraid of the Second Madam. Here, Young Master Yao is the master, anyone who dares to defy the master will have a terrible outcome." Ye Feng looked at the four young maids in front of him, they looked like the kind of people who were timid and scared, serving a vicious woman, and they were somewhat afraid.

The one who stood up to speak was the young maid Xiao Lan who had eaten the paper; she had a sore throat now and couldn’t utter a word. It was the young maid Xiao Mei who came forward and held Xiao Lan, saying, "The Second Madam made Xiao Lan eat a letter, so she can’t speak now."

"What letter?" Beitang Yao furrowed his brows, asked calmly.

Xiao Mei straightened her back and answered, "It was a letter Young Master Che asked Xiao Lan to give to Miss Xia."
