Zhao Xianggui was like an amnesty, "General Chiyun, Mrs. Shouting Cloud, my lady has woken up. If you guys have any questions, it's better to ask her directly! Please."
As soon as Gu Manqing saw Chiyun Yuexuan, she hurriedly defended, ''It wasn't me, it wasn't me who wanted to kill Wu. Where is Wu? I want to confront her face to face, why did you frame me? Call Wu here, I want to confront her face to face."
Murong Zhining walked forward and pacified, ''Mrs. Ji, you're too excited, you're not good for your body! You've just been injured and frightened, control your emotions first, okay? General and I, we are not here to ask questions. We just want to learn something from you, you don't have to be psychologically pressurized."
Gu Manqing raised her hand and waved, "Butler Zhao, take everyone out."
Gu Manqing saw the crowd retreat and breathed a sigh of relief, "This is all retribution! When I married Ji Fengyuan back then, he was just a poor boy. I defied my fa
Shen Hong Bo's right hand clasped Jin Xu Heng's wrist, his left hand backhandedly grabbed Jin Xu Heng's clothes on the shoulder, he slightly bent his knees, roared, and in a swift and swift manner, he gave Jin Xu Heng a beautiful over-the-shoulder slam. Jin Xu Heng's body flew up in the air from behind Shen Hong Bo, only to hear a "pop" sound, Jin Xu Heng fell on her back in front of Shen Hong Bo.Shen Hongbo took an arrow step forward, squatted down, used his knee to firmly press against Jin Xu Heng's chest, his left hand pressed Jin Xu Heng's shoulder, and his right hand's three fingers locked tightly around Jin Xu Heng's throat. Shen Hongbo's cold voice made people shiver, "I listen to General Chiyun, I don't want to mess with you. You don't push people too much!"Du Youtian hurriedly rushed forward and pulled Shen Hongbo away, "The two of you are former grudges, right? Brother Jin, General Chiyun has treated all three of us as brothers, even if you don't give face to
Gu Manqing took a handkerchief and wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, showing weakness, ''Housekeeper Zhao, I reviewed myself and felt sorry for you. You've worked diligently in the Ji family for over ten years, and Master and I didn't give you what you deserved. As you know, Master was mesmerized by that vixen Wu. The master's things must have fallen into that vixen's hands. You think of a way to trick her back and get the things and count them as yours."Zhao Xianggui grabbed one of the teacups on the table and slammed it hard on the ground, "Gu, are you not going to shed a tear until you see the coffin? The master told me plainly that he hid the things in two places. Wu's place is just some account books, while the key in your hand is the only way to open the money vault. If you refuse to cooperate, I'll take your life now. Once you're dead, it's only right that I can be the master of the Ji Mansion. I'll turn this mansion upside down and find something just the same
Murong Zhining will head leaning on the scolding cloud leaping Xuan shoulder, "In the future are not allowed to swear in front of theNing Er,saying what was retribution and so on. Negative on the negative, the gel also does not hate the general. If no longer love each other, separate!"Chiyun Yuexuan pretentious, "That can't be done! My husband remembered, my wife once said, to be like a piece of cowhide candy, sticking to my husband for life. It just so happens that my husband is also a piece of kraft candy, that is not to be mutually entangled for life? Don't say the words "separate if you don't love me" so easily. It's hard for us to break through all the barriers to be together, so we must be tied together for the rest of our lives. It is impossible for my husband to not love my wife in this lifetime, if my wife no longer loves my husband, my husband will never give up on my wife!"Murong Zhining pouted in disgust, "Ning'er had forgotten that what General is best at,
Huayan Country’s capital, inside the Imperial Palace.Young Emperor Yan Feng flung wide his arm, sweeping the pile of reports on his desk to the ground with a dark face. Trembling before him currently were princes and officials kneeling all over the Imperial Court. Facing the Son of Heaven’s seething fury, no one dared to utter a sound.Prime Minister Ning Zezhi was amongst those prostrated on the floor, the wings on his officer hat quivering nonstop due to its wearer’s fear. He spoke hesitantly in a small voice, “Your Majesty, please quell your anger so as to maintain your well-being. This old man implores Your Majesty, please let me handle Vice-Minister of Justice Zhuang Cheng’s corruption case!”Yan Feng swung his sleeves out as he shouted, “It’s not just a day or two that Zhuang Cheng has been taking bribes and bending laws. Except for me, who in my Imperial Capital doesn’t know of this? Yet, you lot cover for each other. None of you, not one, once stepped out
Murong Zhining’s expression was utterly calm, not a trace of fear could be seen on her face. “Your Majesty, if you only give me a chance, I can prove that I’m not the Zhuang family’s daughter-in-law. If Your Majesty insists on punishing me because of my offensive words to you earlier, then I have nothing more to say.”Yan Feng had never intended to give Murong Zhining a chance to prove her innocence at all. After all, if this girl called him a fatuous ruler, what else would she dare to do? However, what she just said left Yan Feng with no other choice. If he sentenced her to death now, it would prove that the emperor was a petty person who took advantage of his position to carry out personal revenge. Would he be any different from a fatuous ruler then? Watching as Murong Zhining remained calm in the face of this crisis and recalling the sharpness hidden in her words, Yan Feng was shocked. This girl, she wasn’t simple at all!Yan Feng impatiently waved his hand. “
Yan Feng noticed that Cai Qin and Cai Sang all were sneaking glances at the desserts on the table in front of him. Secretly amused, he smirked. He suddenly came up with an evil idea to punish the ignorant and audacious Murong Zhining.Yan Feng said to Cai Qin and Cai Sang while wearing an amiable expression, “I like servants who know to not shoot their mouths off, but I don’t want to leave you two idle either. You can eat the deserts here. Go on.”This is how Yan Feng thought Murong Zhining would react: Nursing a hungry stomach, she would watch as her friends enjoyed the delicious pastries, while she could barely endure the torment of starvation by herself, feeling as if a sharp claw was repeatedly scratching at her heart. She would finally realize how stupid it was to oppose the emperor. She would then kneel on the ground while bawling her eyes out to ask Yan Feng for forgiveness. She’d beg him to tolerate her senseless resistance, that a person of great moral st
Yan Feng’s expression grew darker and darker, looking more and more furious. Everyone was left to guess. Maybe the girl is still a virgin? Is that why His Majesty is so angry? Because he can’t condemn her?After hearing the complete report, Yan Feng let out a scornful laugh. Brought back a bit later, Murong Zhining knelt down. With utmost contempt, Yan Feng hatefully glared at Murong Zhining. “Listen closely, you lowly servant. Not only are you an impure woman, you’re pregnant! This is a crime against the emperor. I can’t believe there exists a woman as shameless as you in this world. “Men, come! Take this lowly servant and also the maid that made up false evidence back to prison until punishment is decided. As for that girl called Cai Qin, she has done a good deed reporting. Reward a hundred silver taels and return her freedom. She can leave the palace and lead her own life.”Cai Qin was exhilarated. She never thought that her small scheme would not only t
Murong Zhining’s eyes were tightly closed; she had been unconscious for two days so far. The girl seemed completely lifeless. The only proof that she was still alive was the occasional fluttering of her long eyelashes.Murong Zhining had been wandering inside her dream all along, unable to escape. In the dream, there was a young woman who she’d been calling “nanny” since she was little. As long as she could remember, she and nanny had been pursued by people with murderous intent towards them. During their run, nanny was once sold to be some old farmer’s wife in the mountain, then snatched away by the bandits and forced to be their leader’s wife. No matter how much hardship she had to endure, nanny always kept Murong Zhining by her side and treated her like her own daughter. In the end, nanny led her away from the brigands’ lair.Escaping the bandits, they arrived at a place called Horsefarm Village and lived incognito there. Murong Zhining didn’t know what her nam
