Chapter 1477 - 296, Scary (13)
While Xu Muqing was proudly relaying the person’s distinctive features to Lin Yuan, she was lifting her chin, ready to receive Lin Yuan’s praise.
However, how could Lin Yuan be in the mood to praise her now? She was already so shocked by the portrait in front of her that she was speechless.
Mo Zhu from Yao Hanai’s side? Looking at it now, it does really resemble!
Xia Zheng slammed the paper onto the table, his eyes turbulent with dark waves.
Yao Hanai? Very good, very good.
Yan Ruchun pursed her lips, saying to Lin Yuan, "This matter was jointly discovered by Sir Jingzhao and Eldest Young Master Wei. However, the portrait is not very precise. Moreover, if this really was done by Mo Zhu from Yao Hanai’s side, the Grand Scholar Yao’s House might not be able to clear its name either."
Wei Boyu then added, "That’s why we invited Princess Pingxi here today to ask the princess’s opinion on how to handle this matter."
Lin Yuan glanced at the two and slightly lowered her eyes.
The one hurt by this affair was not Lin Yuan, but Yan Xiangkai, Yan Ruchun’s father. Since Yao Shijiang is a Grand Scholar with many students, even if this matter was made public, Your Majesty might consider the students’ feelings and would not take action against Yao Hanai. The eventual outcome would only be to drag Mo Zhu out to take the blame.
Doing so would neither bring Yao Hanai, the mastermind, to justice, nor would it avoid startling the snake in the grass.
