She accidentally flirted with the villain and was fiercely criticized as the regent for forcibly mar

Yun Mi leaned close to her ear and said in an extremely firm and disliked tone, "It's Madam!"

Yes!

The worst person is her!

No one in the book doubted that Madam Jiang also treated the female protagonist as a substitute for her deceased elder sister, silently intensifying the conflict between the two sisters and pushing the female protagonist to personally harm the original owner. Such an "elder sister" who monopolizes the original owner's resources is an ingrate and evil!

They spare no effort to beautify their past mistakes.

But the female lead is too smart, and she has a simp and a best friend who help her harm the original owner, so the female lead's hands are never dirty, and she has no chance to make the "elder sister" suddenly realize that she is evil and deserves to be robbed of her marriage and killed at the border!

Moreover, the female lead later became the eldest princess, whose status and methods were beyond her control, and could bring her even greater glory and honor. So she coaxed herself into becoming the female lead's good aunt, and until the end, the aunt and nephew were always loving and affectionate towards each other.

This wicked person, selfish and self-serving his whole life, ruined others' lives, yet lived a life of glory and triumph.

How hateful, how ridiculous!

Pity……

With her daughter replaced, her triumphant life has come to an end!

"Send someone to the door and tell her to come in when she returns."

Yunmi nodded: "I'll go and give the order as soon as we get back to the room!" She added, "When are we going back? It's not comfortable staying here."

"Let's do it first thing tomorrow morning!" Jiang Ruining also felt a bit uncomfortable staying here. She pursed her lips and asked the question she had been wanting to ask since waking up: "When did the Prince return to the capital? What happened with the assassination attempt? Has it been investigated?"

Yunmi said, "You passed away not long after you were poisoned. You were unconscious the whole time, so how could I have been thinking about anything outside? I... I don't know anything at all."

Jiang Ruining sighed.

This girl is truly loyal, but she's also really not very bright; I have no idea what she wants to know.

She turned and called out to July, who was following behind them, "Do you know?"

July replied: "The assassin smeared a deadly poison on the arrow, which is difficult to cure. The prince immediately led his men back to the capital to capture the mastermind and interrogate him for the antidote. Another group went to fetch Lady Wan."

"I'm not very clear about the news in the capital, but your message is sent out every half day."

"Your Highness, I am very worried about the young lady."

He inquired about her every day, as if he valued her very much.

It's something you can value, but not something you like!

Jiang Ruining watched a begonia branch swaying in front of her, feeling a mix of emotions, a longing to see him...

After a pause, he asked again, "Has my father sent any message?"

July: "Lord Jiang sent many tonics over, and he sends messages by carrier pigeon every day to inquire about your condition. Right now, he is cooperating with the Prince in confiscating property and cannot come over."

Jiang Ruining nodded.

My adoptive father brought back a lot of evidence of corruption among officials in Jiangnan. Dealing with those parasites won't be something that can be done in ten days or half a month. Once the case enters the legal process, the presiding judge cannot leave at will.

She lives far from the capital, and it would take her more than ten days to travel back and forth, so she really couldn't get away.

Goo!

Goooo!

That's quite a coincidence.

Just then, a pigeon landed in the courtyard.

July passed, and the note on the pigeon's leg was removed.

He glanced at it and then handed it to Jiang Ruining.

Xiao Che's handwriting caught Jiang Ruining's eye.

It was a small piece of paper with few words on it. It asked about her condition, whether she was sleeping well, eating well, and in a good mood. It also asked everyone to take good care of her and to be sure to go along with her wishes.

The level of care and consideration she showed was so great that anyone who didn't know better would have thought it was her husband.

He gave a wry smile and continued reading.

It's news about her father.

He became the Imperial Censor and concurrently a Grand Secretary of the Wuying Hall, and entered the cabinet to discuss matters.

He held the official rank of First Grade.

Jiang Ruining raised an eyebrow.

good news.

The female lead's powerful backers are all incredibly capable!

Although these things belong to her now, as long as she gets along well with the female lead, they will also belong to the female lead. So it's not like she's stealing the female lead's things, right?

"It seems that Cui Shengan's side has suffered a major blow! Otherwise, how could he allow the court to have another powerful Grand Secretary of the first rank who does not belong to his side?"

Yunmi counted on her fingers: "There are only so many first-rank officials in the entire capital. With Master's promotion, Miss's status will rise accordingly!" She added, "Who cares why he agreed? The fact is, Master has been promoted!"

Jiang Ruining laughed, "If I weren't still injured, I should really have a couple of drinks and celebrate!"

I'm tired from walking.

Seeing a swing, I sat on it.

As she swayed gently back and forth, she carefully recalled every detail of the assassination attempt.

Xiao Che was cautious. Before going to the banquet, he would definitely send his secret guards to inspect every nook and cranny to ensure that there were no ambushes at the banquet venue.

This place is the private property of a minister trusted by Xiao Che, so it should be relatively safe.

But for an assassin to hide silently in a manor, it's simply impossible that he didn't have someone from his own clan to conceal himself.

Jiang Ruining guessed the reason was that her adoptive father had brought back evidence of the crimes committed by officials of the Cui clan to the capital, causing a stir in the court. Currently, the officials who had amassed wealth for him had all been imprisoned. Once the case was adjudicated, he would face the situation of losing his financial supply and further weakening his power.

So we've decided to launch a counterattack!

However, Cui Shengan's deepest hidden pawn, which he had planted next to Xiao Che, was eliminated. In order to ensure the assassination was foolproof, he had to activate Minister Wen, the deeply buried pawn, ahead of schedule.

Now everyone in the Cui family thinks her father is on Xiao Che's side, but she's in Xiao Che's hands. If she doesn't hand over the antidote, what can she get besides more torture?

Her father would not hate Xiao Che, nor would he turn around and surrender to Cui Sheng'an.

and so.

Behind this situation, a third party is trying to reap the benefits.

Even worse, it was actually a third party manipulating things behind the scenes, wanting to see Xiao Che and Cui Sheng'an fight even more fiercely, preferably Xiao Che going on a killing spree and eliminating Cui Sheng'an!

Then a third party could quietly take over this force that is irreconcilably at odds with Xiao Che.

Once the third party has secured their position and established a firm foothold, they can also accuse Xiao Che of indiscriminately killing innocent people and eliminate him as well!

Who is this third party? Do we even need to guess?

At the end of the book, there is a description of the "achievements" of the little emperor who hides in the cracks and acts as a puppet. He is very good at sowing discord and framing others!

Tsk!

"This is a complete mess!"

Just as she was concentrating on her analysis, a pleasant male voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"If you're injured, just be a patient. Why are you thinking about all sorts of things? Aren't you afraid of tiring yourself out?"

Jiang Ruining opened her eyes and was met with an enlarged, handsome face that seemed to defy the heavens and earth, and smiling eyes with a slight bruise.
