The Crown Prince had a follower who disguised himself as a storyteller in Dongfeng Restaurant. She had heard Xuan Li mention this in her previous life. When Xia Yan came to inform her to go to Xia Hou fu, Jiang Ruan sent Lu Zhu to Dong Feng Lou and pretended to be a maidservant of the Xia fu who had inadvertently discussed this matter.
She thought that since she was going to die anyway, there was no way out. Moreover, her family's lives were still in Xia Yan's hands. Shu Xiang laughed bitterly, "This servant has no face to face Eldest Miss. I beg Eldest Miss to take care of this servant's parents. We will meet again in the next life!" After she finished speaking, she broke free from the old maid's restraint. Before anyone had time to react, they saw her hit the pillar in the hall and immediately fell into a pool of blood. Her eyes were wide open and her body trembled a few times. She died with everlasting regret.
The manservant in the courtyard quickly found stools and wooden sticks for torture. The old women of the Xia family were the ones who wanted to be merciful. However, when the Crown Prince said, "If I see anyone who does not follow the rules, I will immediately send someone to chop them into pieces and feed them to the dogs." These servants immediately gave up the idea in their hearts.
The space between Xia Yan's eyebrows twitched when she heard Jiang Ruan's words. Now that Jiang Ruan had put it this way, she had nothing else to say. However, looking at Xia Cheng's furious gaze, she could only summon up the courage to say, "Ruan niang, one may know a person but not their heart. This Shu Xiang usually appears to be a well-behaved person, I did not expect that she would have such a vile mind."
"No matter." The Crown Prince laughed heartily. "I have always been very benevolent. Go, I will stay here and watch you receive your punishment."
However, the Crown Prince's greatest characteristic, and also his greatest weakness, was that he was simple-minded. Just like Jiang Ruan's previous life, the Crown Prince was born in the imperial family and was not favored in the eyes of tens of thousands of people. In such a position, he should have been a person with deep thoughts, but he was simple-minded, or perhaps it could be said that he was too sentimental.
Xia Jiaojiao jumped in fright. Jiang Su Su cast a pleading look at Xuan Li. Xuan Li looked at her apologetically. Under these circumstances, he could not openly clash with the Crown Prince.
As for the current Crown Prince, when she was in the palace in her previous life, she had long heard of the Crown Prince's many deeds. Although the Crown Prince did not have much insight into politics, and his thoughts were not very deep either. In the early years, the Emperor wanted to appoint a crown prince, but Xiao Shao stopped him. Everyone thought that this Crown Prince was not favored, but it was precisely this unfavored Crown Prince who stayed behind when the other princes in the palace were dealt with one by one by Xuan Li. It was unknown whether the Emperor had anything to do with it.
Ever since Xiao Shao came in, Xia Jiaojiao had been intentionally or unintentionally looking at him. At this moment, when she heard Xiao Shao's words, her pretty face immediately turned deathly pale. She bit her lower lip tightly and looked like she was about to cry.
Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Shao slowly took a step back. The expression on his handsome face did not change and was still as cold as usual. He said indifferently, "What does it have to do with me?" He was full of disdain and did not have any protective feelings for the fairer sex.
Xia Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xia Jun was smart enough to take the initiative to admit his mistake.
"No, Master." The doctor took a few steps back. He did not know where he had gone wrong, but the scene was different from what he had expected. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Jiang Ruan said, "Biao Shen, early this morning, Maternal Grandfather and His Highness saw with their own eyes that someone in the ancestral hall … was behaving improperly, but they did not expect that the person was actually Biao Ge."
Jiang Ruan would not take the initiative to save her, and between her and Xia Jun, Xia Yan would only choose Xia Jun. No one would speak up for her. She finally understood why Jiang Ruan had allowed her to stay in Ruan Ju despite knowing that she had been sent there by Xia Yan. It was not that Jiang Ruan was softhearted, but that she had been looking for an opportunity to kill her in one move without any possibility of a comeback! Now, this opportunity had come.
His mind suddenly changed, and he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Xia Cheng, "Grandfather, it's all my fault. Last night, I drank some wine and mistakenly entered the ancestral hall. I did not expect that this servant girl would seduce me … Grandson, grandson, I really have no face to do such a thing. Grandfather, please punish me!"
With great difficulty, the twenty strokes of the wooden planks were finished, and Xia Jiaojiao had already fainted.
The Crown Prince stood in the courtyard and watched lazily. The old maids were all fat and strong, and they did not show any mercy. The people present were all young ladies of noble families with delicate skin and tender flesh. When had they ever suffered such heavy punishment? Immediately, they cried out to the heavens and the earth, and screamed continuously. Jiang Su Su lay on the stool, and a piercing pain came from her buttocks. But what was more infuriating than this pain was the sense of humiliation. In front of Jiang Ruan, in front of these noble Princes and Wangye, she had lost all face. Like a dead pig, she was tied to the stool and tortured. She swore that if she did not avenge this enmity, she was not human!
Shu Xiang, on the other hand, stared blankly. She had not expected that Xia Jun would throw himself at her face and criticize her. She looked at Jiang Ruan. This matter was very clear, it was Jiang Ruan who had schemed against her. She could only look towards Xia Yan for help, but Xia Yan turned her head away and pretended not to know. Shu Xiang's heart surged with despair, and she cried out, "Nubi did not, Eldest Miss, nubi really did not seduce Young Master Biao."
The situation seemed to be reversed.
"Your Highness does not know," Jiang Ruan smiled, "My Second Younger Sister is the most soft-hearted. Whenever a servant commits a mistake, they like to plead with her. Moreover, I have always been cold and callous, so the servants are all afraid of me. "
When Xia Yan saw Jiang Su Su's resentful expression, her heart quivered, and she immediately understood what was going on. Jiang Su Su did not know that she and Xia furen had already discussed countermeasures, and had acted on her own. Presumably, she had fallen into Jiang Ruan's trap. On one hand, she was angry at Jiang Su Su for not listening to her, and on the other, she quickly thought of the countermeasures in front of her. If something really happened to Xia Jun, Xia Cheng and Yu Ya would not spare them, mother and daughter. After all, Xia Jun was the only legitimate grandson of the Xia fu, and in the future, he would inherit the family business.
Jiang Su Su had just stood up with the help of Butterfly. When she heard these words, her body went limp and she almost fell down. She stared at Jiang Ruan in disbelief. Xia Cheng looked at Jiang Ruan as if he wanted to eat her up, but Xia Yan acted as if she had just heard, "What incident in the ancestral hall?" She suddenly thought of something and looked at Jiang Ruan suspiciously. Why did Jiang Ruan's complexion look so good after spending a night in the cold and gloomy environment of the ancestral hall? There was not a trace of weakness? And what was the matter with the rascals that she had mentioned?
Jiang Su Su let out an "Ah!" and her entire face was drained of blood. She naturally knew that Shu Xiang's death was inextricably linked to her, and her heart was filled with fear. Xia Jun was also startled. The beauty that had been ravished last night was now drenched in blood, and it was truly terrifying.
Xia Cheng clenched his teeth. Seeing that the matter had already turned out to be like this, he could only insist that it was the servant girl who had seduced Xia Jun. He angrily shouted, "Bring that unfilial son and servant girl here!"
Jiang Su Su looked gratefully at Xuan Li, but a trace of anger flashed across Jiang Li's face. Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, "Why did Eighth Highness allow the doctor of Ren Jiao to tie him up? Then, whether this pastry was poisoned or not, and whether Ruan niang was guilty or innocent, these things are unclear."
The Crown Prince sneered, "You are the servant girl of Eldest Jiang Miss, how can you plead with Second Miss?"
Jiang Ruan quietly watched everything that was happening in front of her. As early as yesterday, she had already ordered Lian Qiao to change the pastry. Naturally, she understood what Xia Yan was planning. The Crown Prince's sudden visit to Xia Hou fu today was also her handiwork.
Jiang Ruan slightly leaned to the side, avoiding Xia Yan's deep bow, and said with a smile, "Mother must be joking." If she had accepted Xia Yan's kneel today, from tomorrow onwards, her reputation for disrespecting the di mother would spread throughout the capital. What was the point?
The relationship between Xuan Li and Xia Cheng was a little subtle. The princes were more sensitive to this matter. Once they received the news that Xuan Li had visited Xia Cheng, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would naturally come to Xia Manor to get involved. However, he did not expect that Xiao Shao would also return.
She looked at Xia Cheng and said, "We are all one family, and if the family is harmonious, everything will prosper. Your Eighth Highness's words are very well said. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that Your Eighth Highness was a member of the Xia family."
Jiang Ruan smiled faintly, "Maternal grandmother's matter has come to an end, but Your Highness has yet to evaluate the matter of the ancestral hall. How should the thieves and rascals in the ancestral hall be dealt with?"
Xuan Li walked to her side and said, "Eldest Jiang Miss, don't you think that they are very pitiful?"
Jiang Ruan watched quietly, and in her mind, the scene of her previous life in prison, watching Shu Xiang by Jiang Su Su's side appeared. Time flies, and in this life, Shu Xiang would never have the opportunity to betray her and hurt her.
His gaze fell on the young girl in red standing in the middle of the crowd. She had a gentle smile on her face, but the gaze that was directed at him was full of ridicule. Xia Jun immediately understood that this Eldest Miss of the Jiang family had schemed against Jiang Su Su, and had schemed against him as well!
Hate?
Jiang Ruan took a step back and smiled back at him, "What does it have to do with the Jun?"
Xia Yan could not say a word. When Xuan Li heard Jiang Ruan's words, he gave her a meaningful look. The Crown Prince knew that the man in the ancestral hall was Xia Jun, so he did not speak and only looked at Xia Cheng as if he was watching a good show.
Xuan Li glanced at Jiang Su Su. Jiang Su Su's face was covered with a veil, and her eyes were dense with tears. Her appearance that seemed to be unable to fall was really pitiful. Looking at the other members of the Xia family, the expressions of the few Young Madams were exactly the same as Xia Yan's. They were all panic-stricken, thirty percent restless, and seventy percent weak. It really made one's heart feel sorry for them.
He could not tolerate the internal strife and scheming of the brothers around him, especially when they were all part of the same family but full of conspiracies. Therefore, every time he saw a case of internal strife, he would be very violent. In his previous life, Xuan Li had used this characteristic of the Crown Prince to rope in the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince, who appeared to be the most harmless, had always been close to the Crown Prince. As a result, the Crown Prince was ultimately framed by this close brother and ended up dying in prison.
The Xia family could not help but ponder. Did this mean that he wanted to speak up for Jiang Ruan? The sudden appearance of this Jinying Wang and the Crown Prince today was already strange. Previously, they had saved Jiang Su Su on the Ling Long Boat, so why did it seem like they were in cahoots with Jiang Ruan?
"A pitiful person must have a hateful side." Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Moreover, the order was given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so Ruan niang was powerless."
Xia Cheng wanted to vomit blood. In his heart, he was sure that Jiang Ruan already knew Xia Jun's identity. This was definitely an intentional act. He only felt that Jiang Ruan's scheming was frighteningly deep.
When the Crown Prince saw the Xia family's actions towards her, he would certainly think of his own circumstances. The more the Xia family went overboard with her, the more ruthless His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be. If Xuan Li had not been present today, presumably, the Xia family would not have just suffered a simple beating.
"Marquis Xia, there is no need to be angry. Perhaps it is as Miss Jiang said, this arsenic has no effect on her." The Crown Prince did not know what these words of the Crown Prince meant. It sounded like nonsense, but it caused a layer of cold sweat to appear on Xia Cheng's back.
The Crown Prince waved his hand, "Put up the stool, this Prince wants to see them receive their punishment with my own eyes."
At such a young age, if she was not astonishingly quick-witted, then she had already seen through everything that could happen today. All of this is in her hands? Everything in the world was constantly changing, how could anyone be in control of everything? However, when he looked at Jiang Ruan's smiling expression, he began to doubt his own conjecture.
Jiang Ruan looked at Xia Yan and said, "Speaking of which, it was Mother who sent me a good servant girl. This servant girl is loyal and considerate, and I like her very much. If it were not for her last night, Ruan niang would probably have to die today to prove her sincerity. Such a loyal servant, and it was Mother who sent her off, Mother also hopes that Shu Xiang's grievances will be cleared. "
When Xia Jun awoke, he found out from the old maid what had happened. Last night, when he had entered the ancestral hall, he had felt his body heat up, and even somewhat out of control. The taste of a night of madness was still there, but the one who had obviously been the Jiang eldest Miss with whom he had fallen in love, how had she become the Jiang eldest Miss's servant girl?
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xia Cheng angrily said to the physician, "Quack! You dare to lie! "
"What?" Xia Jiaojiao cried out involuntarily, "Your Highness, how can you be like this?"
These words were really coincidental, Jiang Ruan sneered in her heart. Everything will prosper if the family is in harmony, but whose family is this harmony, and whose business is it that prospers? This had nothing to do with her in the slightest. With these words from Xuan Li, Xia Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and gave Xia Yan a meaningful look. Xia Yan stared blankly for a moment, then walked in front of Jiang Ruan and said, "Ruan 'er, this matter is all Mother's fault. If Mother had been a little more cautious and not been misled by this quack's words, you would not have suffered such injustice for no reason. Mother, mother can only get you to forgive me if I kneel down. "After saying this, both her legs bent, and she was about to kneel down in front of Jiang Ruan.
However, Jiang Ruan, who was standing in the middle of the hall, had a completely different expression from them. She had a smile on her face, and her eyes were cold and detached. Every step she took was incomparably sharp, as if she wanted to put people to death cruelly.
Yu Ya supported Xia Jun into the room, and Xia Cheng followed by her side. Jiang Su Su and Xia Yan also hurriedly followed. The servant girls and old maids scattered, and for a moment, there was no one left in the hall.
Xia Cheng wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead, and finally said in a low voice, "Nonsense, that was not some evil person, that was your cousin!"
Xuan Li was somewhat disappointed. He had originally thought that this eldest Jiang Miss was an intelligent person, and that when an intelligent person reached this point, she would let it go. Did she really think that the people here would redress the injustice of an unfavored daughter of the Jiang family? It would be better to settle down for now, and save a lot of trouble. As he thought of this, he glanced in Jiang Ruan's direction and was stunned. He saw that Jiang Ruan was quietly looking at him. There was an indescribable emotion in that pair of beautiful eyes. He had seen this kind of emotion many times before. It was an unforgettable emotion. Was it hatred?
"Are you questioning this prince's decision?" The Crown Prince said unhappily.
The Crown Prince said, "This servant girl had a fiery temperament, and this prince still took some pity on her, but for her to die like this is really pitiful. Since the servant girl has paid with her life, Young Master Xia is not entirely innocent. This prince is softhearted, and will not punish him on account of his young age. However, for the next three years, he will not be involved in official career. This prince will report everything that I have seen and heard today, word for word, to Imperial Father. Marquis Xia, do your best. "When she finished speaking, her expression changed, and she no longer laughed and laughed as she flicked her sleeves and left.
Shu Xiang's body trembled, and she looked at Jiang Ruan with eyes full of fear. She suddenly understood that what Jiang Ruan had said was right. With the way things were going today, she had no way out.
Xia Yan was dumbstruck, and Jiang Chao and Jiang Su Su were also momentarily stunned. Xia Cheng was so angry that the flesh on his cheeks trembled slightly. The Crown Prince's actions were like a slap to his face! He had actually made all the womenfolk of the Xia family lie on the stools and allow others to beat them with a wooden plank, and this included the unmarried girls!
Jiang Chao and Xia Yan looked at each other, and could only grit their teeth as they followed the Crown Prince into the courtyard. Even though Shen Rou and the others were extremely unwilling, seeing that Xia Yan had obediently stepped forward, they did not dare to refuse.
Xiao Shao raised his eyebrows, and saw Jiang Ruan continue, "Shu Xiang, although I trust you, I trust Mother even more. Since she has already said so, there is nothing I can do." This was throwing all the spearheads at Xia Yan, and Shu Xiang suddenly felt a wave of despair. She only heard Jiang Ruan continue, "However, even if you did not seduce Biao Ge, your body was tainted, and it was in a place like the ancestral hall. If it were me, I would have long committed suicide with a piece of white silk. In order to protect your reputation, you also have no way out. Seducing or not seducing, in fact, is the same."
Actually, this matter originally had nothing to do with Xiao Shao, but in this entire room, only Xiao Shao had said something fair. These words were like a slap to everyone's face. The Crown Prince suddenly laughed, "Eldest Jiang Miss is right. From what I see, this matter cannot be resolved without reason. In the imperial court, there is also a price to pay for wrongly judging a case. Just now, Little Miss Xia, the two Young Mistresses, Jiang Furen, Second Miss Jiang, and Second Young Master Jiang have all criticized Eldest Jiang Miss. Since Marquis Xia is advanced in age, we can forget about it, but the rest cannot be easily forgiven. Since Eldest Jiang Miss Xia wants me to uphold justice for you, then I will uphold justice for you this time. Since all of you have wrongly accused Eldest Jiang Miss, then each of you will receive twenty wooden planks. "
Jiang Su Su gritted her teeth and said, "This matter is all my fault. Su Su is willing to accept the punishment. I hope that Da Jiejie will forgive us." After saying this, she did not look at the crowd and walked towards the courtyard.
Jiang Ruan met Xia Yan's puzzled gaze and smiled as she explained, "Last night, Ruan niang was praying for the ancestors of the Xia family in the ancestral hall. In the middle of the night, her physical strength was insufficient, so the maidservant beside her took her place and knelt for the rest of the night. Who knew that a thief would come in in the dark and defile the body of the maidservant beside me. Thus, Ruan niang asked His Highness for a grace to severely punish that wicked person. "
Xia Yan stared blankly and secretly clenched her teeth. It had not been easy for her to place an informer, but now, with just one sentence from Jiang Ruan, they had all been stripped bare. But now, she had no choice but to agree. Thus, she said, "Ruan niang's consideration is reasonable, it was Mother's inconsideration."
This was lying through one's teeth. Behind her, Lian Qiao could not hide her disdainful gaze. Xia Yan really had the face to say such a reason. Jiang Ruan sighed softly, "Originally, I thought that the maidservants that Mother had chosen would certainly be excellent. I did not expect that Lian Qiao, Bai Zhi, and even the one that I had chosen myself, Lu Zhu, would not have such a thing happen. Mother's choice, Shu Xiang, has broken this rule." She looked at Xia Yan and said, "Mother, please recall the other maidservants in Ruan niang's courtyard."
When Xuan Li had spoken to her about this matter, it was already the last stage of the struggle. His performance was no longer as gentle and self-restrained as before. Instead, he appeared to be a little proud and arrogant. He showed extreme contempt and ridicule towards the Crown Prince, who was a trusted brother. However, Jiang Ruan could understand the Crown Prince. He was nothing more than a pitiful person who, in his extreme loneliness, longed for familial love and thus gave his most important trust. It was just that, like her, they had all been let down.
Jiang Ruan looked at her actions. In the past, when they were in the palace, Xia Jiaojiao had always had a domineering appearance. When had she ever seen her in such a sorry state? In the end, it was just a case of a dog relying on its master's power.
Xuan Li paused for a moment before he also chased after her.
Hearing this, Yu Ya took two steps back. No matter how she thought about it, she could not understand. Although her son's conduct was absurd, he would not be so stupid as to do such a thing in a place like the ancestral hall. There must be a hidden story!
Yu Ya anxiously asked, "What exactly is going on? What happened to Jun 'er? "
Xia Cheng was both angry and distressed as he watched his children and grandchildren being punished in the courtyard. His heart was incomparably resentful. For so many years, everything had been smooth sailing for him. He did not expect that today, he would fall into the hands of a little girl and suffer such extraordinary shame and humiliation.
As soon as these words came out, not only was Xia Yan stunned, but Shen Rou and Yu Ya were also stunned. Yu Ya cried out, "How could it be Jun 'er?"
Hearing this, Xia Jiaojiao stiffened. Her body could not help but tremble. She looked at Xiao Shao with a gaze full of grief and helplessness. Unfortunately, the fallen flowers yearn for love, but the heartless stream flows mercilessly. Her tears were wasted in vain.
Seeing this, Shu Xiang said in despair, "No, no, Eldest Miss, I did not seduce Young Master Biao. Furen, save me. Second Miss, save me!"
No matter how muddle-headed and incompetent this Crown Prince was, in the end, he was still a member of the royal family. How could he tolerate an official playing petty tricks in front of his eyes?
Xia Jun was first dizzy from Xia Cheng's slap. Yu Ya had already pounced on him and hugged him, crying loudly, "My son, how could you be so foolish? How could you make such a mistake in the ancestral hall!"
Shen Rou hurriedly pinched her arm and said in a panic, "Children are not sensible and speak nonsense. I beg Your Highness to spare her this time. "
"Your Highness!" Xia Jiaojiao, on the other hand, threw herself in front of Xiao Shao and knelt down, "Your Highness, your heart is benevolent and generous. Since you have helped Biao Mei just now, I ask that Your Highness plead with the Crown Prince to help us!"
Xia Yan was a little dizzy from her words, but she still understood the meaning behind them. Someone had wanted to defile her, but had been blocked by Jiang Ruan's servant girl. Xia Yan secretly cursed in her heart. Why was Jiang Ruan so lucky every time? She looked at Lian Qiao, who was by Jiang Ruan's side. This time, Jiang Ruan had only brought Lian Qiao and Shu Xiang. Lian Qiao was standing at the same place, safe and sound. Could it be that that person was Shu Xiang? Her heart tightened. She heard Jiang Ruan say, "Maternal grandfather, since His Highness the Crown Prince is here, why not bring that evil person here?"
Why would this Eldest Miss of the Jiang family hate him for no reason? Just because he had put in a few good words for the Xia family? Xuan Li's heart paused, and when he looked at Jiang Ruan again, Jiang Ruan had already turned her head away. It was as if the emotions in her eyes were just Xuan Li's own misperception. However, Xuan Li clearly understood that it was not a misperception. The young girl opposite him indeed had an inexplicable hatred for him.
Jiang Ruan looked at her with pity, "Shu Xiang, I naturally believe you. You are the servant girl that mother personally selected for me. How could I not believe in your character?"
Jiang Ruan herself was also very puzzled. This Xiao Shao had suddenly helped her, what was his purpose?
Jiang Ruan walked to Shu Xiang's side, who was lying in a pool of blood, and quietly looked at the servant girl who had died with grievances. She lightly said, "Keeping your eyes open is also good. On the road to the Yellow Springs, when you turn into a malicious spirit, don't find the wrong person."
"Your Highness …" Xia Cheng still wanted to speak.
Jiang Ruan slowly walked forward from the crowd and quietly watched Xia Yan and the others being tortured. Did it hurt? The pain that these people had inflicted on her was a hundred times, a thousand times more painful than this. No one would come to save them, and no one would intercede on their behalf. Struggling at death's door in pain, the Xia family's suffering had only just begun.
When she finished speaking, she turned her head and was faced with a beautiful and heroic face. Xiao Shao's clear and cold gaze fell on her face. The two of them were very close, and she could only hear his indifferent evaluation, "The evil air is too heavy."
Xuan Li's throat choked. Looking at her so close at hand, he did not know why, but there was a strange feeling in his heart. The eldest di daughter of the Jiang family in front of him had never revealed the slightest trace of panic in the face of all kinds of situations today. It seemed that from the beginning until now, she had maintained an expression, a gentle and appropriate smile.
Xuan Li's face stiffened. Jiang Ruan continued, "However, it is a small matter for Ruan niang to be wronged, but maternal grandmother's illness is a big matter. For no reason at all, how could she have fallen unconscious after eating a piece of Ruan niang's snack? I'm afraid that there is something fishy about this. No matter how I think about it, I still can't figure it out. It's really strange." She stood in the middle of the hall, her posture unchanged, and said with a smile, "But today, many thanks to Wangye for clearing Ruan niang's name. Otherwise, if the quack doctor were to get away with it, I'm afraid that Ruan niang would be sent to prison. The crime of murdering maternal grandmother is not a small one. Even if Ruan niang fought with her life, she would not be able to bear it."
Unexpectedly, she did not give Xuan Li the slightest opportunity to step down.
At this moment, however, Xuan Li opened his mouth and said, "Since it is the quack doctor's fault, then first tie him up. This kind of quack doctor will only harm people's lives in the future." As he finished speaking, he ordered the attendants beside him to tie the doctor up. The doctor did not expect that he would suddenly encounter such a calamity. He shouted, "It's clearly the old..." Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was gagged and he was dragged away.
However, in the end, Xuan Li still walked together with the Xia family. Jiang Ruan's eyes darkened. She did not know whether in this life, Xuan Li would still be the same as before, and finally become a good couple with Jiang Su Su? She was actually looking forward to that moment.
Xuan Li finally opened his mouth and said, "Brother Xiao, there is no need to trouble Godly Doctor Qiu. In my opinion, the truth of this matter has already come to light. It was merely a quack doctor who harmed people and misdiagnosed the Marquis Furen's illness. The snacks on the table were not poisoned, and Eldest Jiang Miss is innocent. In the end, it was just a misunderstanding. We are all one family. Imperial Father has taught us since young that a harmonious family will prosper. "
"Maternal grandfather," Jiang Ruan looked at him in shock, "That person defiled my maidservant's body. How could it be Biaoge?" Her words were full of shock, but she reminded everyone of the fact that Xia Jun had destroyed someone's innocence.
A calm voice suddenly broke the silence, "If that's the case, Ye Feng, take my official seal and get Miracle Doctor Qiu here." Everyone's gaze converged on him. Xiao Shao's expression did not change as he continued, "The truth of this matter will come to light."
Very quickly, the servants brought the somewhat dazed Xia Jun and Shu Xiang over. At this moment, the two of them had just woken up and were somewhat confused. Xia Cheng took a few steps forward and ruthlessly slapped Xia Jun, "Unfilial son! Who ordered you to do such a despicable thing! "
