Fated to My Billionaire Husband-Chapter 2300: You’re Shielding the Culprit
Nangong Ruyue slightly raised her eyes, looking at them indifferently: "Nangong Xu is still being resuscitated, I don’t know how he is."
"Ruyue, you can speak?!" Nangong Wenchang looked at her in astonishment, and everyone else was equally surprised.
"Yes, I can speak now." Nangong Ruyue’s face was calm.
But the expressions of the others were quite dramatic.
Previously, the mute Nangong Ruyue was considered disabled, a wasted person to them.
She couldn’t speak, so naturally, she couldn’t manage the Nangong Family.
And now, just as Nangong Xu had an accident, she suddenly could speak. Those with ulterior motives naturally suspected that she had been pretending all along.
Nangong Ruyue could somewhat guess their thoughts, but she didn’t bother to explain.
Nangong Wenchang quickly regained his composure. He asked her, "Where’s the person who attempted to assassinate Axu?! Bring him out, I want to ask why he tried to assassinate Axu!"
"He’s dead."
"Dead?!"
"After attempting to assassinate Nangong Xu, he took poison and committed suicide."
"Where is the body?"
Nangong Ruyue replied, "The person is dead, what use is there for the body."
"There can be a lot of clues found on the body." Nangong Wenchang and his group did not intend to let the matter go easily.
Nangong Xu had never been injured before, so they suspected this matter wasn’t simple.
It’s possible the mastermind behind this is Nangong Ruyue, or Nangong Wenxiang.
"I will handle this matter myself, no need to concern yourselves." Nangong Ruyue coldly refused, "Leave, I want some peace and quiet."
"Madam, you cannot handle this matter alone! This is an issue of the Nangong Family, we have the right to be involved!"
"That’s right, Madam, doing this only makes us suspect you’re sheltering the culprit!"
The people on Nangong Wenxiang’s side happened to arrive, and they heard the conversation.
Then immediately someone countered, "What are you talking about! Madam is the elder’s daughter, currently carrying the master’s child, how could she possibly shelter the culprit?"
"Everyone knows the relationship between Madam and the master isn’t harmonious!"
"Maybe Madam just wants to kill the master so she can manage the Nangong Family herself!"
"You all... are talking nonsense!"
"It’s not like we don’t have a point! If it wasn’t Madam’s doing, then hand over the culprit and let us handle this matter..."
"Madam must have her reasons for doing this."
Both sides quickly started arguing.
Nangong Ruyue listened to their quarrel, having heard it for decades, she was already numb.
This group of people was eager to suppress each other but dared not really go at each other because they all belonged to the same family, sharing the same roots.
Like a tree with many roots growing below, the roots compete for nutrients but dare not allow any root to become dominant.
If a large tree suddenly had half of its roots cut off, that tree would surely wither, get more of its nutrients taken by another tree, and gradually weaken.
They all understood this principle, so they dared not really engage, always carefully maintaining a balanced relationship.
It was precisely because the Nangong Family was in such a situation that Nangong Ruyue wasn’t afraid of them.
Because they would check each other and dare not really pressure her.
"Enough, stop arguing!" Nangong Wenchang stopped their argument.
He was highly respected, and people on both sides would more or less listen to him.
Nangong Wenchang looked at Nangong Ruyue and asked her seriously, "Ruyue, how do you intend to handle this matter? You can see, if you don’t give us an explanation, no one will be convinced."
