Xu Si didn't even need to move away, the wife of the royal family had already stepped forward to stop Mrs. Wei, pushed her to the ground unceremoniously, and said: "The princess has a destiny, and she is not allowed to be rude to Miss Xu."
Mrs. Wei Er was worried about her daughter and hated Xu Si. She couldn't help but feel sad and shouted: "Who else besides you? It's you, it's you!"
Xu Si looked at her indifferently. She knew that Mrs. Wei Er was just talking nonsense out of desperation, and these accusations were simply untenable, but she was not going to tolerate it at the moment.
If she doesn't lose her temper, do these people really think that the eldest daughter of Nanyuan Mansion is a piece of dough that can be kneaded by others?
"Shut up!" The cold and sharp tone made everyone jump in shock and couldn't help but look up at her.
Ever since Xu Si came to Dongjiang, no matter what the rumors spread or whether he met in person, he was gentle and approachable. When his sister was rude, she apologized, and when her sister was reckless, she explained. Even if there was a dispute, it was a hidden secret.
, without edge.
But at this moment, her face was as sinking as water, her eyes were like daggers, and her power was born by itself.
Suddenly someone remembered that the Nanyuan Governor's Mansion did not have a mistress. It was said that the affairs of the back house were all taken care of by this young lady. If she was really weak and could be bullied, how could she control the servants?
Mrs. Wei Er was already in a state of confusion. When she was frightened, she couldn't help but stop crying.
She raised her head and saw Xu Si, with his hands in his sleeves, taking two steps forward, standing in front of her, and looking down.
"This is an autumn banquet held by the palace. I borrowed the garden of your Wei family, stunned the guests, changed their clothes, and sent them to a high building. Who else can do it except the palace and the Wei family? You are making accusations by claiming that the fourth Miss Wei was killed.
Did the princess harm her?"
Mrs. Wei Er stayed for a while, and finally reacted, with a face full of grief and anger: "You...you are so slanderous! It is my daughter who is being killed now, and you are unscathed, what are you talking about here?"
Before Xu Si could respond, a voice came from behind: "What a sarcastic remark!"
Everyone turned around and realized that the princess was coming. They stepped aside and saluted: "Princess."
Princess Dongjiang walked up to Mrs. Wei, her expression equally cold.
In front of her, Mrs. Wei no longer dared to be rude. She moved her lips, leaned down and cried: "Princess, please have mercy and save my fourth son."
Princess Dongjiang said calmly: "Mrs. Wei Er is wrong, right? I should beg you to show mercy, Princess. We, the distinguished guests of the palace, just rested in the water pavilion for a while, and the tea was drugged. If it hadn't been for this
If you start the fire, everyone will think that Miss Xu and my son are having a private meeting in Wangjiang Tower. By the way, I asked Wen'er. Someone actually invited him to Wangjiang Tower before. If he hadn't been wary and called
If someone goes on his behalf, I'm afraid he will be the one trapped in Wangjiang Tower now."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
There are gangsters in Wangjiang Tower, and if they deliberately lure the prince in, they will kill him! The prince is an only son, and if something happens, Dongjiang will definitely be in turmoil.
"Second Young Master!" someone blurted out, "It must have been the Second Young Master who led the Crown Prince there."
If something happens to the prince, then the second prince will inherit the title. Oh my god, this is not a charming affair of a man and a woman, but a serious case of treason!
Once you get this started, other things can easily come to mind.
"Miss Wei pretended to be Miss Xu and lured the prince there. If something happens, we will think that it was Miss Xu who harmed the prince!"
"When the time comes when we, Dongjiang and Nanyuan, fall out, it will be impossible for us to get married again. When the second young master takes over, the position of the imperial concubine will be..."
"Of course it belongs to Miss Wei Si. Their family has spent so much effort, so it can't be in vain, right?"
"No wonder Miss Wei Si doesn't care about the loss of the crown prince, because the crown prince is about to be replaced!"
"She helped the Second Young Master plot rebellion just because she can no longer be the Crown Princess? How cruel!"
"Disloyal, unjust, greedy and shameless! Such people who betray the Lord deserve to be buried in the sea of fire!"
"Fortunately, the prince was alert and did not fall for the trap, otherwise our Dongjiang River would be in chaos."
"Yes! We must severely punish the Wei family and make them pay the price!"
Now that the situation has reached this point, even those Dongjiang families who have good relations with the Wei family have come out to express their stance and draw a clear line with them.
This is a serious crime of treason. Are the Wei family so courageous that they want to implicate them?
Mrs. Wei Er almost fainted when she heard these accusations. She could only defend weakly: "No, no... we are the ones who were victimized, no..."
However, the evidence is overwhelming, how can she refute it?
Outside the crowd, Miss Cen Er took her sister's hand and whispered: "Did you see it? It turns out that Wei Si is such a person. He usually plays tricks in front of us, and you stupidly acted as a spearman for her, fighting with the Xu family.
Sisters, it’s hard for me to get through this. You should be more careful in the future and don’t allow others to take advantage of you.”
Miss Cen San's mood was complicated, she was scared, hated, and a bit arrogant: "Who knew she was so good at lying? Even my aunt was deceived." After thinking about it, she added, "I'm not doing it for her. Look at me.
None of them are targeting Miss Xu, it’s Xu San who is too arrogant and makes people hate her!"
Miss Cen Er looked at her helplessly: "You!"
"That's right!" Ms. Cen San was still defending, "She was full of nonsense. She bragged before and said she was preparing for a shocking talent. But now where is she? Where has she gone?"
Xu Yin was answering Li Wen's question: "I have a strange man who is good at tracking and investigating. He sneaked into the Wei family and found the drawings from Mr. Wei's study. This Wangjiang Tower was actually designed by the Wei family to deal with the war.
We are prepared not only to have mechanisms on the stairs, but also underground."
This is what happened, but this is what she knew in her previous life. When the city of Jiangdu was destroyed, the Wei family used this Wangjiang Tower. It took a lot of time for the imperial troops to find the whereabouts of Wei Si. The blueprint was hers
I saw from Duke Zhao that after the sisters were kidnapped, Duke Zhao kept them with him in order to protect their innocence.
"That's it." Li Wen had no doubt at all.
Just as he was talking, the captain of the guard came to report: "Your Majesty! The white flag is raised upstairs!"
Li Wen looked up and said, "Let's communicate with them. If we don't put out the fire, people will really burn."
The captain of the guard responded: "Yes."
The two sides finally negotiated across the door on the first floor.
A soft voice came out: "General, this time we are blind and have offended the prince. What we are doing is a fatal business, and our heads are tied to our belts. Logically speaking, if we fail, we should be punished."
Accept defeat. But many of my brothers still have wives, children, and parents at home. If we die here, our whole family will not be able to survive. We are willing to pay any price, just to ask the prince to open his eyes and let us have a way to live."
Just as the captain of the guard was about to reply, a voice intervened: "Why are you pretending to be innocent robbers? Let you go back, and then turn around to reorganize the troops and fight across the river?"
