Welcome the Good Man

Chapter 166 Confirming the Real Murderer
Immediately, Xiao Jiyao's inner defenses were torn apart.

"Liefeng has admitted that it was you who ordered him to get rid of Huo Aying." Fan Zhen's slow words stabbed Xiao Jiyao's heart like a knife.

"Impossible!" Xiao Jiyao blurted out uncontrollably.

Liefeng was the secret guard she had kept by her side for fifteen years, and was personally selected and given to her by her father. In the past fifteen years, Liefeng had been loyal and had never made any mistakes. Even if it was something that she knew was impossible, as long as Xiao Jiyao gave the order, Liefeng would not disobey at all.

How could such a person admit to doing something that is detrimental to Xiao Jiyao?

What's more, Feichen clearly stopped him!

There were many doubts in her mind, but the facts were before her, and it seemed that no matter what Xiao Jiyao said, it was powerless.

"I'll go with you!" Xiao Jiyao's eyes were full of coldness.

Feichen also didn't expect Xiao Jiyao to admit it like this, and immediately said, "No! Princess!"

Fan Zhen knew that once the princess cooperated with the investigation, she would not change her mind easily, so he stepped back a few steps, bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am waiting for you, Princess."

Xiao Jiyao looked back at Feichen with a complicated expression.

Feichen quickly approached Xiao Jiyao and asked anxiously, "I have clearly stopped Liefeng, why would he hurt Huo Aying?"

"Liefeng has been with me for fifteen years and will not betray me easily. Go and find out the reason." Xiao Jiyao said with a serious face.

Feichen frowned and said, "But once you go to the Imperial Guards, you won't be able to explain these rumors."

Xiao Jiyao smiled bitterly. She had faced many rumors in her life, so why should she be afraid of this one? Moreover, her father had taught her since she was young that the emperor was guilty of the same crime as the common people. Since Fan Zhen dared to come to the princess's mansion blatantly, he must have obtained the consent of his father. If she violated the rules at this time, she would probably cause more trouble.

Feichen knew that once Xiao Jiyao made a decision, she would not change it easily, not to mention that this matter really needed someone to handle it.

"I will investigate this as soon as possible!" Feichen said firmly.

Xiao Jiyao glanced at Feichen with a subtle expression and nodded, "Okay..."

Turning around, Xiao Jiyao glanced at the startled bird in the distance. It was so fast, another year had passed in the blink of an eye...

Hou House.

Zhan Li walked quickly to the study with a serious expression.

Xie Chengyi was reading documents and put them away immediately when he heard footsteps.

"Sir."

Hearing Zhan Li's voice outside the door, Xie Chengyi said, "Come in."

"Prince, the eldest princess has been taken away by Commander Fan." Zhan Li said concisely.

"Fan Zhen?" Xie Chengyi was puzzled for a moment.

"Commander Fan is now in charge of the guarding of the capital, and Miss Aying's affairs should be handled by him. However, it was a little unexpected that this matter involves the eldest princess." Zhan Li said slowly.

Although Xie Chengyi was also surprised, it quickly disappeared and was replaced by regret.

"Where is the eldest princess now?" After a long time, Xie Chengyi spoke.

Zhan Li: "The Imperial Army."

Aying also received the message.

"Are you saying that Xiao Jiyao was taken away by the commander of the imperial guards?" Aying looked at Qingshi suspiciously.

Qingshi nodded: "Yes."

"She didn't resist?" Ah Ying couldn't help but wonder. According to Xiao Jiyao's flamboyant personality, she shouldn't admit it so quickly.

"Commander Fan presented a token, and the princess stopped talking after she saw it." Qingshi replied truthfully. After all this, Ah Ying was confused. Xiao Jiyao wanted to kill her, but would she leave her alive?

But Commander Fan certainly wouldn't go to the princess's mansion casually, right?
Thinking of this, Aying couldn't sit still anymore.

So, I went out to find Xie Chengyi. After all, he would know more than me.

As soon as I reached the gate of Songqingyuan, I met Xie Chengyi and Zhan Li walking out.

"Prince." Aying called softly.

Xie Chengyi paused, his stern eyes softened instantly, "It's so cold, why are you here?"

Ah Ying met Xie Chengyi's gaze and asked tentatively: "I heard that the eldest princess--"

Xie Chengyi's eyes moved and fell on Ah Ying again, "You know that too? I was just about to verify it."

Ah Ying lowered her eyes slightly, "It's almost spread all over the capital, how could I not know about it?"

"Don't worry, if it was really the princess who did it, I will definitely seek justice for you." Xie Chengyi said solemnly.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Ah Ying felt a little warm in her heart. Xie Chengyi was still thinking about her on the basis of their "old relationship", which meant that he knew how he felt about her.

However, she still had to maintain her image, and her expression was slightly worried. "Aying would like to thank the prince for his kindness on behalf of Su Jian. However, she is a princess after all, so she needs to be cautious in everything and not let the princess suffer any grievances."

Xie Chengyi originally thought that based on Ah Ying's personality, she would definitely forcefully demand that Ji Yao be punished for Su Jian, but he did not expect Ah Ying to speak like this, and he immediately softened his heart a little, "Okay..."

But the more considerate Aying was, the more Xie Chengyi was inclined towards her.

"Su Jian is injured and it will be inconvenient for her to take care of you in the future. Let Chenglin find some smart maids for you later." Xie Chengyi couldn't help but pull Aying's hand and said softly.

Ah Ying shook her head. "No need. I'll just ask Shuang'er to come back. Besides, Su Jian also needs someone to take care of her. Just ask Cheng Lin to find a few more people to take care of her."

Xie Chengyi knew that Aying was still worried about Su Jian. After all, he was the person who had spent the longest time with Aying, so he could understand it.

Even so, Xie Chengyi had to find out who sent the assassin. Otherwise, even if he did not take action, Aying would not let him go easily.

After Xie Chengyi left, A Ying walked towards the corner gate with a determined look. She was determined to find someone to settle this account!
At the beginning of the Shen period, Shuang'er came back exhausted.

"Girl!" Shuang'er looked much more capable during her stay at the farm. As soon as she entered the house, she ran towards Aying with tears in her eyes.

Ah Ying's heart softened, and she smiled and said, "You're back?"

"How is Sister Su Jian? Is she better? How did you get attacked?" Shuang'er asked anxiously.

Ah Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said simply, "Don't worry, Su Jian's life is not in danger, she just needs to rest. Didn't you tell Madam Shen?"

Shuang'er shook her head repeatedly, "The young lady specifically told me not to tell Madam Shen, Shuang'er didn't say anything."

"That's good. Wait until Su Jian gets better and is sent to the farm. Then Madam Shen won't suffer any more, and they can be reunited as mother and daughter." Ah Ying has never experienced much love from her parents, but being able to be together should be happiness.

After a moment of wandering thoughts, he was pulled back by reason, "Now that you are back, can you take care of the farm?"

The tears in Shuang'er's eyes had not completely disappeared. She looked a lot more mature with her tearful and grateful look. "Shengsheng and her sister are helping Nanny Shen and Uncle Liang. They can take care of it. Nanny Shen knew I was coming, and she asked me to tell the girl that if there are not enough people, let Shengsheng come as well. Don't let yourself suffer."

Ah Ying's eyes became moist at this moment. Nanny Shen was a thoughtful person who cared about her.

Because of this, Aying's desire to avenge Su Jian became even stronger.

"Shuang'er, accompany me to find someone this afternoon." After thinking it over, Aying raised her head slightly and gave the order.

"Who are you looking for?" Shuang'er was packing her clothes and turned around to ask.

"Perhaps someone who can help identify the real culprit..."
