"Where did your brother and the others escape from?" Jiang Xue Ning asked.

Xue Mei shook her head. "You should ask Madam about this. Xue Xi probably knows that I hate him in my heart and will never reveal these important things to me."

Although they are brother and sister, they have actually become enemies.

She looked at Madam Lu, "Those people from the Snow Clan are in the Lu Mansion, right? Tell me, which secret passage did they escape from?"

Mrs. Lu kept silent.

"It's not worth it to suffer for the Snow Clan..." She sat down again and threatened Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu's face turned pale. If her mother was not so strong and her son seemed to be under a spell, being bewitched and confused by the Snow Clan woman, she would not have been prepared to get involved in this mess.

I never expected that I would fail in this matter in the end.

"Let Jiaer go. Jiaer has nothing to do with this."

At this point she only hopes that her only son can escape unscathed, as she herself is afraid that she will be doomed.

"Master Lu..."

Jiang Xue Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and she was afraid that she had already become a soul under Ning Yuan's sword. Ning Yuan must understand the principle of cutting the grass at its roots.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Mrs. Lu cursed with red eyes, "I should have killed them both back then!"

"If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being rude."

Madam Lu closed her eyes and turned a deaf ear to the question. Jiang Xue Ning unceremoniously ordered the interrogator, "Let Madam Lu see your methods. When she is willing to speak, notify me."

"Yes."

After she got out of the cell, she immediately went back to the palace. Because of the Lu family's affairs, tonight was destined to be turbulent.

As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, Qing He came out to greet him and breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness, you are finally back. The head of the Zhou family is waiting in the mansion with a group of people from aristocratic families."

If she doesn't come back, she will lose control of the situation.

Jiang Xue Ning rubbed her forehead and asked impatiently, "What are they going to do?"

"It seems that he wants an explanation for the Lu family's affairs."

"Heh..." She chuckled, "These noble families seem to be very close."

The yard was completely silent. When I got closer, I found a person lying on the ground, spitting blood and holding his chest in pain.

Bingtong was looking at her coldly, and Tianlang was grinning ferociously at the group of people.

The situation was probably a little out of control, so Bingtong made an example of him.

"Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night?"

As she spoke, she walked up the steps and looked down at everyone. Tianlang ran over and rubbed her feet.

The man lying on the ground said, "Does the palace want to kill people to silence them?"

She said coldly, "What if I kill you? If you dare to make trouble, I will kill you."

Sooner or later she will get rid of these cancerous members of the aristocratic families, so she doesn't give them any face at all and is very strong.

In the darkness of the night, everyone looked extremely unhappy, and there was even a sense of mutual dependence.

The head of the Zhou family said with a stiff face, "Your Highness, what's the difference between killing an entire family and being a bandit? Are you going to kill Xiangchu and everyone who doesn't listen to you?"

This hat is really big, and she instantly became a devil who kills people without blinking an eye.

She turned to Qing He and said, "Go and call Ning Lan out."

His eyes swept over everyone in the yard, and finally fixed on the face of the Zhou family's patriarch. He threatened with a smile, "Since I am a murderous devil in your hearts, why did you dare to come tonight? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you all!"

To put it bluntly, they are still relying on their numbers. They are really worried, and they also really want to test her and force her to back down.

If you are weak, they will become more aggressive. This is what she understood when she faced those aristocratic families in Qingzhou.

Ning Lan came quickly, and Qinghe had already told her the situation on the way.

She raised her head, straightened her hair and said calmly, "I was the one who poisoned Lu Zhen. What happened at the Lu Mansion tonight was a feud between us mother and son and the Lu family."

But since she is in the palace, it also shows that she has a deep connection with the palace.

Everyone present felt a sense of sympathy. From the Lin family to the Lu family, they were suddenly defeated. It seemed that Jiang Xue Ning did not take action personally, but in fact, they were all closely related to her.

In a sense, being cunning and good at "killing with a borrowed knife" is also very scary.

Another family head said unconvincedly, "Someone saw with their own eyes that people from the palace took Madam Lu away."

In response, Jiang Xue Ning said calmly, "That's because Madam Lu colluded with foreign tribes to plot against Xiangchu. Naturally, I have interrogated her thoroughly."

"Who knows whether what you said is true or not? Anyway, the Lu family is gone, so you can say whatever you want."

"Mrs. Lu has always been dignified and polite, how could she collude with foreigners..."

Jiang Xue Ning said indifferently, "Believe it or not, I'm just telling you."

The man who had been standing in front of her and remained silent suddenly rushed towards her, the dagger in his hand flashing with cold light, "Go to hell..."

Jiang Xue Ning took a step back suddenly, and Tianlang, who was nestled at her feet, jumped up in an instant, knocked the man to the ground and bit his neck. The knife in the man's hand was knocked away by Bingtong.

The accident happened too suddenly. Jiang Xuening's eyes turned cold. Someone was taking advantage of the opportunity to take her life.

"If anyone else wants to kill me, come together."

Everyone looked at each other and no one dared to speak.

Jiang Xuening walked up to Tianlang and touched his head, then kicked the man, "Whose family is this?"

The Zhou family patriarch gritted his teeth and stepped forward, saying, "This is my nephew. I don't know why he's crazy."

This nephew is quite capable, so he often stays with him and helps him deal with some things. He also came with him tonight, but he really doesn't know why he suddenly went crazy.

Although he had always disliked Jiang Xue Ning and loved to argue with her, he was not stupid enough to order someone to assassinate her in public.

Jiang Xue Ning just said calmly, "Your statement is not convincing."

"Someone, please ask the head of the Zhou family to go to the cell for a cup of tea. I want to have a good chat with him."

The guards immediately tied him up. He had always had a bad temper and said angrily, "Prince Xiang, you are so cruel and ruthless, be careful that you will suffer retribution and die a miserable death!"

“You’re not going to die well?” She chuckled. “If that day comes, I won’t forget to send you to see the King of Hell first.”

Now that you are here, don't think about leaving easily. Otherwise, you might think her palace is a market place where you can come and go as you please.

She said coldly, "Keep them under my supervision and check them carefully one by one."

After saying this, he ignored their complaints and turned to go to the inner courtyard.

Bingtong walked side by side with her and took a look at her cold expression. "Are you angry?"

"I just find it a little ridiculous. No matter in the past or now, it seems that there are many people who hope that I will die a miserable death."

She looked down at her hands, which were already covered in blood. She had to move forward and reach the highest point, to justify herself over the years.

"You've been too tired lately, you should have a good rest."

"After you finish this matter, take a rest."
