The moment Miss Zheng Er lifted her foot, Lady Zheng quickly turned around and ran towards a pillar with the quilt in her arms, thinking that death would put an end to this matter.
Her eldest daughter was smart and would surely handle this matter well. This was the only solution she could come up with.
"Quickly stop her! She's trying to commit suicide!" Mu Fengqie immediately saw what that woman was up to. But did she think she could get away with plotting against her? There was no way.
Jing Xunchao quickly picked up a pebble and threw it at Lady Zheng. Lady Zheng was knocked to the ground by Jing Xunchao. Her calf ached so badly that she couldn't even crawl.
At this moment, she felt an unprecedented panic. She was doomed.
Hearing the commotion behind her, Miss Zheng Er clenched her fists tightly. Why did this Mu Fengqie have to interfere? Wouldn't it be better to let Lady Zheng die? Why did she have to stop her!
Mu Fengqie saw the venomous look in Miss Zheng Er's eyes. It seemed that Miss Zheng Er knew this woman. Otherwise, she wouldn't have reacted so strongly. But this person...
"Someone, go and bring these two adulterers to the main hall. I'd like to see who has the audacity to do this." Yuan Yuchuan had been holding back his anger for a long time, but it wasn't appropriate for him to lose his temper in front of so many people, so he had endured until now.
Yuan Yuchuan led everyone back to the main hall. With a gloomy face, he waited for the adulterous couple to arrive.
"Qie'er, are you okay?" Jing Xunchao looked at Mu Fengqie worriedly. It was obvious that this incident was aimed at Qie'er.
"Don't worry. I'm fine." Mu Fengqie said to Jing Xunchao and told him everything that had happened outside.
After hearing this, Jing Xunchao frowned. He didn't expect that the King of the Grasslands would be so bold and not restrain himself even in the palace.
"Qie'er, you must always take people with you when you go out in the future." Otherwise, he was worried that if one day he wasn't around and the King of the Grasslands took the opportunity to kidnap Qie'er, what could he do?
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Mu Fengqie didn't refuse. She thought Jing Xunchao's words made sense, and the King of the Grasslands had impure motives towards her.
Soon, Lady Zheng and that guard were brought over. Fortunately, they had tidied themselves up. They didn't look as disheveled as before.
When Lord Zheng saw the people being escorted in and recognized the woman's face, he almost fainted from anger.
"You bitch!" Lord Zheng rushed up and kicked Lady Zheng to the ground. Still not satisfied, he kicked her a few more times. When Miss Zheng Da saw that the woman was Lady Zheng, she stood there stunned.
How could this happen... Why was she there...
Miss Zheng Da's face turned deathly pale. It was over. Her mother had become an adulteress, and she would also bear the stigma of having an adulterous mother.
"Someone, pull Lord Zheng away!" Now everyone knew that the woman who had committed adultery was Lady Zheng, Lord Zheng's wife.
"Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to make a fair judgment and find out the truth of this matter." After venting his anger, Lord Zheng calmed down and knew that Lady Zheng had been framed.
"Why do you say so, Lord Zheng?" Mu Fengqie looked at Lord Zheng lazily.
"My wife must have been framed by a villain. She would never do such a thing." Lord Zheng said in front of Mu Fengqie. "I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly and clear my wife's name."
After saying that, Lord Zheng knelt on the ground and didn't get up. Mu Fengqie looked at Lord Zheng and smiled. Investigate then. Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with her. However, the person who had drugged...
Mu Fengqie glanced at the two Miss Zhengs standing behind and a hint of playfulness flashed in her eyes. She wondered whether Lord Zheng would choose his daughter or his wife when the truth came out.
It was really a bit exciting to look forward to.
"I grant your request. I also want to know who has such a long hand and has reached into the palace." After saying that, Yuan Yuchuan looked at Yuan Yuhan and Jing Xunchao.
There was no way. These two were the most suspected at the moment. After all, it was well - known that these two had a feud with Lord Zheng.
Yuan Yuhan and Jing Xunchao also saw Yuan Yuchuan's look and sneered sarcastically. They didn't say a word. The innocent would prove their innocence. They didn't want any slanderous accusations on them. They thought it was disgusting.
After hearing this, the two Miss Zhengs' faces turned deathly pale, but they didn't dare to say a word. If they didn't say anything, they still had a glimmer of hope. If they did, it would be a dead end. So they closed their mouths tightly.
"Your Majesty, wasn't there a maid who came to deliver a message just now? If we bring that maid here and ask her, we'll know the truth, right?" Jing Xunchao looked at the expressions of the people around him and smiled. Had they forgotten someone?
How could they forget such an important person?
"Marquis Zhongning is right. Someone, go and find that maid." If Jing Xunchao hadn't mentioned it, Yuan Yuchuan would really have forgotten about this person.
The guard took the order and led a few people out. Soon they came back, but when they returned, they were dragging a corpse behind them.
"Your Majesty, this maid was already dead when we found her." The corpse was found not far from the main hall. Judging from the wound on her neck, it could be determined that she had been strangled to death.
Yuan Yuhan looked at the dead maid with a deep look in his eyes. The timid people had closed their eyes, and Mu Fengqie's eyes were also blocked by a pair of hands.
"Qie'er, don't look. It's scary." Jing Xunchao whispered in Mu Fengqie's ear.
Hearing Jing Xunchao's words, Mu Fengqie twitched the corner of her mouth. She hadn't said she was scared. Moreover, she was a doctor. How could she be afraid of a dead person? It could only be said that Jing Xunchao was over - thinking.
"I'm not afraid." So you can take your hands away.
"Well, Qie'er, I'm afraid." Jing Xunchao had no shame at all and directly took Mu Fengqie's words.
Mu Fengqie was speechless. How could Jing Xunchao be so thick - skinned? He was a big man. What was he afraid of? Don't tell her he had never killed anyone.
"Your Majesty, I'm scared." Mu Xingrou's face turned pale as she hid in Yuan Yuchuan's arms. She was really scared. As a woman, when had she ever seen such a scene?
Yuan Yuchuan glanced at Mu Xingrou but didn't say anything. He just told someone to take the maid's body away.
"I'll give you a chance. Confess the truth and you may still keep your lives."
The guard stammered and wanted to say something, but because of his nervousness, he couldn't say a word. This undoubtedly gave Lady Zheng a perfect opportunity.
"Your Majesty, I was threatened by this man..."
