Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 497

Pan Jiaming said with a cold face: "When you return to Beijing, you can go to the Queen to receive the punishment yourself." Although he still didn't know what the whole process had just been, it was obvious that if Ben Yue hadn't been vigilant enough, he wouldn't have needed a small child. A little girl like Xuan'er was in danger, so she hugged Ling'er and hid in a tree.

The most important thing is that he had already warned Ben Yue to be wary of Ju Xiang.

Ben Yue quickly kowtowed in response. She was sincerely grateful to the prince for not expelling her on the spot, but for letting her continue to protect the little princess.Although she was given to the little princess by the queen, the empress said on the first day she came to the little princess that if anything went wrong, the prince could deal with her directly without going through the empress.

Zhiruo didn't pay too much attention to Ben Yue. Ben Yue was the personal guard of the little princess. Today's situation was indeed a dereliction of duty. It was abnormal not to be punished.

However, this near-miss accident also made her see the shortcomings of Meizhuang's risk prevention. They had people keeping an eye on the small courtyard, but it was obvious that the enemy was too cunning and she was not cautious enough.In fact, she had already thought that Ju Xiang was not around Zhang Linger in her previous life, right, but she didn't worry about it.

Zhiruo glanced at the Zhang family members, and Yin Xinrou fainted as soon as Juxiang took action against the little princess.The eldest maid Hongyu next to her didn't know if she was frightened. She only guarded her master, but she didn't dare to move or make a sound.

Zhang Zhen'er, who was pushed to the ground by Ju Xiang, had already stood up while holding on to the table. From the look on his face, he seemed to be fine, but his face was pale from fright, and his left forearm seemed to be injured, with blood seeping out of his clothes. The sleeves should be skin wounds caused by being rubbed by coarse mud.

Zhang Ling'er's clenched fists were still pressed against her mouth nervously, and her eyes were staring at Ju Xiang's body, full of fear and panic, as well as a trace of... confusion.

By such a coincidence, she just recovered and raised her eyes, and she happened to meet the gazes of Shang Zhiruo and Pan Jiaming almost at the same time. She immediately lost control and shouted in tears: "It's not me, it's not me. They only said they wanted to kidnap Yin Zhixuan. I don’t know, I don’t know…don’t catch me…don’t catch me…”

Before I finished shouting, I collapsed and fainted...

Zhiruo shook his head. With such little courage and intelligence, he actually dared to collude with others to commit evil. It would be strange if he was not treated as useless chess and cannon fodder!But this Zhang Ling'er was even more vicious than what she had seen in her previous life. How did their main house offend her, or in other words, treat her badly?It actually made her so jealous that she wanted to be cruel to Xiao Xuan'er?
Obviously, the people who colluded with Zhang Ling'er took advantage of her jealousy of their sisters, but did not let her know the real goal and real plan.Therefore, the confusion in Zhang Ling'er's eyes was not because she didn't expect Ju Xiang to take action, but because what happened today was very different from what she was told, and she found that she seemed to have been deceived.

Even so, Zhiruo didn't sympathize with Zhang Ling'er at all, but reflected that he was still too kind and soft-hearted towards Yin Xinrou and his daughter.When she opened her eyes in this life, she knew that neither mother nor daughter were good people, but she didn't take them seriously. Perhaps she subconsciously underestimated them, thinking that they were bad-hearted but incompetent and couldn't get anywhere.

She was still not cautious enough and was too careless!Pan Jiaming stopped being subtle and tactful, and neatly told Qiao Qingfang's origins and his holiday with the Xiao family, and then directly demanded: "Although the incident happened in Meizhuang, they came for me and Ling'er. , now that Qiao Qingfang is dead, we will take away several members of the Zhang family for interrogation. No matter what the outcome is, we will directly negotiate with the Qingming Mansion. They will not be able to return to Meizhuang anymore and will be sent directly back to Beijing."

He heard clearly what Zhang Ling'er said just now. Even if Zhang Ling'er didn't know that Ju Xiang was going to attack Xiao Ling'er, it would still be unforgivable because her original target was Xiao Xuan'er.This woman is not old, but her thoughts are too vicious!He should at least express his anger for Xiao Xuan'er!
How could Zhiruo not agree?Murdering the royal princess is a serious crime. Juxiang is Zhang Ling'er's personal maid, and their mother and daughter brought the person to Meizhuang. No matter whether they participated or not, and how much they participated, they are destined to be implicated, not to mention Zhang Ling just now Er's words had already confirmed that she had something to do with it.

However, today's Zhang Zhen'er is brave. His instinctive behavior in unexpected situations can better illustrate a person's nature.Even if Zhiruo didn't like Zhang Zhen'er before, he wouldn't deny her merits and contributions by generalizing to a little girl.

What's more, this is an era where one person can harm the entire family, even three tribes and nine tribes. Zhiruo doesn't want to see Qingming's house being implicated by Zhang Ling'er.Both my father and mother once said that Uncle Qingming was a bit old-fashioned and even a little pedantic, but he was indeed talented and cultivated many talents for Da Ying.Regardless of time and space, excellent teachers are worthy of respect from others. This is why Mingze asked Yin Xinrou to bring a birthday gift to Uncle Qingming last time.

Zhiruo briefly but clearly explained what happened just now: "That's the whole process. You can all take the Zhang family away, but I have to let someone deal with the injury on Zhang Zhen'er's arm first, which is exactly what happened to the Zhang family." The maids and women who came here will sort out their things." Several members of the Zhang family are members of the uncle's family. They are not yet sure of guilt, so naturally they cannot be escorted as prisoners. The servants can follow, and these people who are following are The servants are also considered relevant personnel who need to be interrogated.

Pan Jiaming nodded in agreement with Zhiruo's arrangement: "That Qiao Qingfang, my people will also clean it up. This time it has really caused shock and trouble to Meizhuang. Please forgive me." He was really embarrassed. Last time Hongyun, this Ju Xiang was born because of their brother and sister.

Zhiruo waved his hand: "It's not what you want. To be honest, Mrs. Zhang San and Zhang Linger are still my aunts and cousins. Zhang Linger probably wants to come after us siblings."

Thinking about it, some of the situations of Pan Jiaming's brother and sister are really similar to those of her siblings. Haha, it's a bit like sharing the same fate. There are always people coveting, staring, and inexplicably hating.

Speaking of being frightened, Zhiruo glanced at the two little girls who were still chattering about their thrilling adventures with the old man in Banshan and the Mingze brothers, and shook her head in amusement. She didn't see their "fright". I only saw two excited and arrogant little sparrows. Maybe these are newborn calves that are not afraid of tigers.

Pan Jiaming smiled tacitly and said, "It was the Zhang family who were frightened." Two fainted and one was injured.

At this time, Mo Wang came back with Si Tiao and Er Tong: "Miss, those people have retreated, and our people have no casualties." They came suddenly and retreated suddenly. It didn't look like those people came to attack Zhuangzi. What, it seems like he is here to spy.He was just wondering, but after hearing about Ju Xiang and Shi Jiao telling Ju Xiang's true identity, he suddenly realized that the men in black outside were just a cover.
