Chapter 269: 269. Su Liang's Counterattack

The Sixth Princess Duanmu Qianqian, who had been betrothed to Liang Country, was murdered within the palace in the dead of night, and Su Liang was placed under house arrest. The truth about the previous incident where Duanmu Qianqian falsely accused Su Liang after being injured had not been publicized in order to protect the reputation of the royal family. This lead many opportunistic people to assume that it could very well have been Su Liang who killed Duanmu Qianqian.

Lin Xueqing was distressed, "It couldn't possibly have been done by Su Liang!"

Xing Yusheng was also anxious, but he tried to reassure Lin Xueqing, "Su Liang is so smart, she is sure to come up with a way to prove her innocence."

Lin Xueqing frowned, "But that's something Su Liang didn't do at all, where would any evidence come from? Why is it that some people just can't stand to see Su Liang doing well!"
