When everyone heard the patriarch say something strange, they were stunned and did not understand what the patriarch meant.

"Strange? What's so strange about this?"

Seeing that no one understood what he meant, the head of the Wang family sighed:

"Ah~~~~ Think about it carefully, what is the identity of Prince Ji? He is a prince, a prince, and represents the royal family.

As a member of the royal family, he possesses the most basic pride of being a noble.

No matter how despicable and mean King Ji's actions were, he would never lay a hand on a woman.

Even if they were to attack, they would target the male descendants of the palace, such as Zhengyi and his brothers.

Why would Prince Ji attack only Wanqing? If this gets out, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the royal family?"

After hearing the clan leader's analysis, everyone suddenly understood. Yes, let alone Prince Ji, even when aristocratic families like them wanted to take revenge, they would rarely touch their female relatives.

If this gets out, people will laugh at you. You can't defeat the men, so you go and touch the women. It's not nice.

Prince Ji is a prince after all. If word gets out that he did something like this, wouldn't it be a laughing stock?

Even if Prince Ji is shameless, the royal family still has dignity, and His Majesty still has dignity. His Majesty will definitely punish him when the time comes.

"Zhengyi, go call Wanqing over so we can ask her."

An elder of the tribe immediately gave the order.

Wang Zhengyi nodded and saluted, then went outside and instructed his followers:

"Go back to the mansion and call the young lady over."

The attendant agreed and ran out, and Wang Zhengyi returned to the room.

He came to his father and asked softly:

"Father, do you mean this matter is related to Wanqing?"

“I’m just guessing, don’t worry.

Even if it was her, Prince Ji only taught her a lesson and did not take her life, so I guess the matter was not too serious."

"But father, Wanqing has never been to Chang'an since she was born. She has always lived in Laizhou. The farthest she has been is to visit her relatives in nearby Mizhou.

How could Wanqing offend Prince Ji when they are thousands of miles apart? "

Wang Zhengyi still couldn't believe that his precious daughter would offend the almighty King Ji.

“We’ll know when she comes.

Justice, I heard that your daughter has a bad reputation in the outside world.

The Yiwei family is running rampant in the countryside and bullying the people. When the people of Jimo County see your daughter, they all stay away from her.

In my opinion, it is time for you to discipline your father. This time, the one we offended was King Ji, and he has brought such a great disaster to our family.

I don’t know who I will offend next time, but I hope my family will not be destroyed or the whole family will be executed.”

An old man next to the head of the Wang family said in a sarcastic tone.

"Uncle, we still don't know whether it was Prince Ji who was offended by my daughter. It's a bit too early for you to draw conclusions now.

Besides, how can we trust the rumors from the outside world? My daughter has been familiar with girls since she was young. She is a beautiful girl from a small family, well-educated and well-mannered.

How could they oppress the people? "

Wang Zhengyi was a little unhappy to hear someone say this about his daughter. In his opinion, his daughter was very well-behaved.

It's just that he has a little temper, how could he have any bad intentions?

"Hehe, whether it is a rumor or not, go and ask around yourself. Your little lady has been spoiled since she was a child.

They are well-known in Laizhou. I advise you to discipline them strictly to avoid causing trouble in the future and implicating the family."

Wang Zhengyi's second uncle snorted coldly.

"Master, the young lady has arrived."

At this time, a servant came in to report.

"Let her in."

Wang Wanqing walked in afterwards. The room was filled with family elders. She felt a little restrained after coming in, not knowing why so many elders wanted to see her.

He came up to the crowd timidly and saluted.

"My granddaughter has met my grandfather and all my uncles."

"Wanqing, don't be afraid. Grandfather asked you to come here today because he has something to ask you."

Seeing his precious granddaughter, the patriarch explained with a smile.

"Anything you have to ask, Grandfather, please feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know."

Wang Wanqing nodded very obediently.

The clan leader was very satisfied and glanced at everyone, meaning, look how well-behaved my granddaughter is, how could she cause trouble?

Wang Zhengyi's second uncle didn't waste any words and asked directly:

"Wanqing, have you offended anyone recently?"

"My dear uncle, Wanqing has never left Jimo County since she came back from Mizhou, and she rarely even leaves home.

I went out yesterday and was injured by a bad guy. I hope Grandpa will take care of it."

When Wang Wanqing mentioned that she was beaten, she felt wronged and spoke with tears in her eyes.

The head of the Wang family felt very distressed when seeing this.

However, his second great uncle remained unmoved and continued to ask:

"Really? If so, do you know who hit you yesterday?"

"My grandson doesn't know."

Wang Wanqing shook her head.

"Then my great uncle will tell you that the people who beat you up in the street yesterday were guards from Prince Ji's mansion in Chang'an City."

"Guardians of Prince Ji's Palace?"

Wang Wanqing opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"That's right, it was the guards from Prince Ji's Palace. Why did the guards from Prince Ji's Palace attack you?

Think carefully about whether you have done anything to offend King Ji?"

Hearing this, Wang Wanqing quickly waved her hands to deny:

"No, no, my grandson and Prince Ji are strangers, and he has never been to Chang'an, so how could he have offended Prince Ji?

These days, my granddaughter has been staying at home. Even when she went out, she was always in Jimo County and she didn't make any enemies with anyone.

Uncle, is there any misunderstanding here?"

"Yes, Second Uncle, Wanqing has been staying at home these days and has not gone out. She only went out yesterday.

This matter has nothing to do with Wanqing."

Wang Zhengyi vouched for his daughter.

"Brother, what do you think? I think your analysis just now makes sense.

Why don't you ask it yourself, brother?"

Wang Zhengyi's second uncle looked at the head of the Wang family.

The head of the Wang family actually didn't believe that it was related to his granddaughter, but the evidence on the surface showed that it was related to Wang Wanqing.

He looked at his granddaughter and asked with a pleasant expression:

"Wanqing, don't be afraid. Think carefully about whether you have had any grudges or conflicts with anyone recently."

After hearing this, Wang Wanqing began to think carefully.

The head of the Wang family saw Wang Wanqing thinking and comforted her:

“Good thoughts, good thoughts.”

Wang Wanqing tried hard to recall everything she had done in these days, but found that she had done nothing wrong.

Moreover, she always stayed at home, seldom went out, and never had any arguments with others. In Jimo County, who would dare to argue with her?

After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure out when she had offended Prince Ji's Mansion.

I could only bow to my grandfather:

“Grandfather, I really have never offended the Ji Palace, nor have I had any disputes with anyone.

Since returning from Mizhou, I......"
