Concubine Feng, Changle has heard a little about the origin of this female official. Seeing Concubine Feng speechless, Jiang Xue smiled and said slowly:

"Her name is Xue Lan. She entered the Feng family to serve you at the age of thirteen. However, after entering the palace, you did not keep her by your side, but asked her to serve Concubine Jin.

It is said that this was your special arrangement, and the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau said it himself. Is Changle right to let your personal maid monitor other concubines? Concubine Feng?"

"Surveillance?" Concubine Jin's father, a noble clan leader, frowned when he heard this. "Clan leader Feng, how did my daughter offend you that you sent someone to monitor her?"

In the harem, the honor and favor of concubines directly affects the rise and fall of the family. The nobles sent their daughters to the palace at all costs just to bring honor to their ancestors. Now hearing that Concubine Feng was secretly monitoring his precious daughter, this was simply a provocation to the Jin family!

In addition, the strange death of Concubine Jin in the inner court was strikingly similar to that of this female official. These two things put together make people shudder. As a father, how can I swallow this breath!

Suddenly, the atmosphere among the nobles became tense, the rift between the Feng family and the Jin family deepened, and other nobles began to take sides. Jiang Xue watched all this and winked at Xiao Zhan playfully.

Xiao Zhan smiled slightly and gently stroked her hair. He knew very well how powerful this woman was. The nobles who had just united to fight against her were torn apart in an instant.

Xiao Zhan was happy to see the fighting among the nobles, because this way they would not be able to unite against him.

"Jin Ming, don't listen to this woman's nonsense." The Feng clan leader was so angry that his face turned red. He turned to Jiang Xue and said sternly: "Princess, what evidence do you have to prove that Concubine Feng was spying on Concubine Jin?"

"I don't have direct surveillance evidence, but this female official did play a key role in sending Concubine Jin to the Inner Court. If you don't believe it, you might as well summon the concubines in the palace to question them and see if Concubine Jin was convicted because of her testimony." Jiang Xue answered calmly.

The reason why she interrogated the female official in public was to let everyone witness the truth.

"Also, Chief Feng, when Concubine Jin was being interrogated, Concubine Feng was the only one not present. As far as I know, it was Concubine Feng who suggested that the concubines go to Xuchen Palace to participate in this matter. And Xuchen Palace has strict regulations. Instigating others to disobey the imperial decree is a serious crime."

Since Concubine Feng wanted to frame her, she would never sit still and wait for death. Jiang Xue was not a soft persimmon that could be bullied.

Faced with the continuous accusations, Team Leader Feng didn't know how to respond. He regretted not teaching his daughter more strictly, which resulted in his daughter making mistakes and himself being dragged into it.

"Feng Ji, my daughter's death was all caused by you, a wicked woman! What did she do wrong to deserve such a fate?" The elder of the Jin family asked at the top of his lungs, his eyes full of reluctance and grief for his daughter.

"In fact, this female official was already 25 years old, which was beyond the birth age, but she was still kept. Therefore, she may be dissatisfied with Concubine Jin." Jiang Xue added.

"She is just a servant. My daughter thinks highly of her and it is a blessing for her to stay by her side. How dare she harbor resentment?" Jin Ming was furious. "The dog of the Feng family dared to be dissatisfied with its master. It is simply a pity that it should die."

"Jinming, watch your words." Patriarch Feng shouted sternly. The dignity of the Feng family would not be trampled upon by anyone.

"What's wrong? Aren't the people of the Feng family just your dogs? You are so excited now. Aren't you admitting that the Feng family is hostile to our family?" Jin Ming retorted.

"This is all your precious daughter's fault." Concubine Feng could no longer bear it and burst into anger:

“That girl already had an engagement. If your daughter hadn’t insisted on keeping her and delayed someone else’s important business, she wouldn’t have held a grudge against your daughter.

When she heard that her fiancé had married someone else, she almost collapsed. Do you know who stole her fiancé? It was the daughter of your Jin family’s housekeeper.”

Chief Jin's eyes widened, unable to believe what he heard. His housekeeper had followed him for many years, and he personally presided over his daughter's wedding. He never expected that this incident would become a disaster for his daughter!

"After the girl learned the truth, she looked for opportunities to get close to the woman like crazy. Finally, when she was out shopping, she sneaked into their home and killed the couple.

The housekeeper of the Jin family hated her so much that he vowed to kill her. She was my person, so she naturally asked me for help, so I helped her and solved your daughter's problem at the same time."

Concubine Feng sneered and said that she didn't care about having one less rival in the palace.

As Concubine Feng confessed all the conspiracies without reservation, including the details of how she framed Concubine Jin and arranged the assassination, Chief Feng was shocked and gave her a loud slap in the face.

"You rebellious daughter." Chief Feng roared, unable to believe that his daughter would do such a thing.

Concubine Feng was beaten so hard that she felt dizzy, blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, and a tooth fell out. Jiang Xue watched all this silently from the side, thinking secretly in her heart.

After a while, Concubine Feng finally recovered. She shook her head, trying to clear her mind. Just now, when she lost control of her emotions, she actually told all her secrets and couldn't stop.

No one noticed that a small spider with a black shell and purple stripes quietly crawled out from Feng Fei's collar and then disappeared into the grass.

Jiang Xue gently loosened her fingers and hid the insect bell in her sleeve. It seemed that the earth insect had worked, and her efforts were not in vain.

"Chief Feng, Chief Jin, the truth of the matter has become clear. I think you must have a lot to talk about." Xiao Zhan looked at the two of them and said calmly.

It turned out that Concubine Jin was murdered by Concubine Feng, and the maid was also murdered by Concubine Feng. As a result, the grudge between the Feng and Jin families became deep, and the alliance between the two families was broken.

Xiao Zhan's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and then he waved his hand to have the guards take Concubine Feng away. "Concubine Feng has committed a serious crime. Not only did she take human life lightly, she also framed Princess Changle. She is now being taken to the Inner Court to await trial."

"No! I don't want to go! Father, save me." Concubine Feng struggled, her clothes in disarray.

However, Patriarch Feng just watched in silence and took no action to help her.

In despair, Concubine Feng thought of Chu Feimo, who was like a ray of light in the darkness, and made her stop crying. In the chaos, she winked at her personal maid, and was then forcibly taken away.

"Your Majesty, I am not feeling well, please leave." The face of the Feng clan leader was gloomy, he could not stay here any longer. Jin Ming's eyes were full of hatred, and Xiao Zhan's powerful momentum made him feel suffocated. He needed time to calm down.

"Wait a moment." Xiao Zhan stopped him. "Patriarch Feng and other nobles just demanded the execution of Xiaoxue. Now that the facts are clear and Xiaoxue is innocent, shouldn't you apologize to her for your previous inappropriate behavior?"
