Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

To be more precise, something happened to Xu Wanyan.

Xu Wanyan went out to celebrate the birthday of her close friend, and while drinking, she talked about the marriage she had just arranged.

Ever since Xu Xingyin was granted marriage, Xu Wanyan has always been the most favored one among her sisters.

A group of people praised her so much that she felt like a celestial being. She thought she was one of the best noble ladies in the capital and could be worthy of any family, so why should she marry a poor family like the Ye family?

Xu Wanyan was already dissatisfied with this marriage, and after drinking and being coaxed by several familiar girls, she got carried away and announced her regret in public, and stayed out all night in protest.

The next day, Xu Wanyan was still drunk and when she left the box and went downstairs, her legs went weak and she fell into a man's arms.

Xu Wanyan stared at the man blankly for a while, then slapped the man's face twice, and at the end she did not forget to tease him a few times.

As soon as this incident happened, Duke Xu's Mansion was immediately pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

People accused Xu Wanyan of improper behavior and frivolous words, saying that she was not a good woman and had brought shame to the women of Dayan. Judging from her familiar behavior, it was probably because she had had private sex with a man outside her...

In short, everyone said something nasty.

Soon after, some people began to insinuate that the Xu family had poor family education, and that the children in the family had bad conduct and were not fit to be the crown prince's legitimate wives.

The news was spreading widely outside, and people were talking about it enthusiastically on the streets, but inside Duke Xu's mansion, there was a bleak atmosphere as everyone felt insecure.

Xu Wanyan was awakened by a basin of cold water and taken into the ancestral hall.

With such a huge family scandal happening, the elders of the clan, along with Old Madam Xu, the eldest master, the eldest lady, Xu Xiuzhu, and Chen, went into the ancestral hall and stayed there for the entire night without coming out.

While everyone was busy inside, Xu Xingyin was not idle outside either.

After hearing the basic account of the incident, she sent people to investigate a few places that she thought were suspicious, and soon came to a conclusion.

"That's amazing. I actually believed that Xu Wanlin would accept all this peacefully. Now I think I was so naive."

Xu Xingyin reached out and pushed open the window, staring at the buds outside that were about to bloom and chuckled.

"Xu Wanlin is indeed not a simple person, as he dared to fight to the death."

Dangui thought she was not a stupid person, but after hearing what Xu Xingyin said, she couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"Miss, are you saying that this matter is related to the Fourth Miss?"

"Yes."

Or to be more precise, this matter was planned by Xu Wanlin.

"But why? You can't write two Xu characters with one stroke. Brothers and sisters are of the same blood. Now that something like this has happened, can she look good? Besides, the fourth young lady is about to get married, and the Prince Zhi's Mansion is not an ordinary family. If they ask for a breakup, won't she be the one who suffers? Even if they don't break off the engagement, the reputation of the Duke's Mansion being unrighteous will spread, and her husband's family will inevitably say some harsh words to her."

"That's why I said this was a do-or-die battle. Moreover, Xu Wanlin didn't expect things to get so serious in her original plan."

At the beginning, Xu Wanlin just took advantage of Xu Wanyan's love of drinking and strong self-esteem.

He wanted Xu Wanyan to publicly regret the engagement or get drunk in the restaurant, giving Prince Zhi a reason to cancel the engagement.

This marriage was ordered by Empress Xiao Lu, and it cannot be canceled at will. Naturally, there must be a sufficient but not serious reason.

In her heart, Empress Lu still hoped to maintain good relations with the royal family. This time she accidentally offended Prince Zhi's Mansion and is now regretting it.

As long as the Prince Zhi's Mansion could come up with a reason, even if it was not sufficient, it would be enough for her to withdraw the imperial edict.

If the Xu family wants to ensure a smooth marriage for the Crown Princess Xu Xingyin, they must take into account the reputation of other sisters in the family. Naturally, they will abandon Xu Wanyan as an abandoned child in order to save the reputation of other girls.

Therefore, as long as the matter is "not serious", Duke Xu's Mansion will do its best to suppress public opinion.

To put it bluntly, Xu Wanyan was just out of control after drinking.

Moreover, they are from separate families after all, and the eldest branch is not the direct descendant. As long as the power of Duke Xu's Mansion remains, who can put the blame for the eldest branch on the other two branches?

By then, Xu Wanlin would pretend to be a victim, and everyone would understand that she was the innocent one who was implicated.

Afterwards, as long as Xu Xingyin could successfully enter the Eastern Palace, even if Xu Wanlin had suffered a broken engagement, she could naturally choose a suitable family again.

Although our family may not be as high as the royal family, as people say, you always have to give in order to gain.

But Xu Wanlin didn't expect Xu Wanyan to be so bold and do something even more outrageous than she had imagined, completely shattering her wish.

I was still sighing when I saw Dan Feng coming in from outside and reported honestly:

"The master came out of the ancestral hall and changed into court clothes. He should be going to court. The others are still in the ancestral hall."

Hearing this, Dangui couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm afraid that Miss Eighth is..."

Dangui didn't say the rest of the words, but Xu Xingyin understood what she meant. Xu Wanyan would probably not survive this time.

Xu Xingyin shook his head and did not respond. Although this matter was planned in advance by Xu Wanlin, Xu Wanlin always planned on people's hearts, and she was very skilled in luring people into a trap.

Xu Wanyan did what she knew was wrong, so it was inevitable that she would suffer the consequences.

Do not live by committing sins.

But Xu Xingyin always felt that this matter was not that simple.

According to Dangui, Xu Wanyan offended a distinguished guest because of drinking two years ago, and since then she has been ordered by the mansion not to drink anymore.

After the prohibition of alcohol, Xu Wanyan could only secretly drink some alcohol at Xu Wanlin's place occasionally, so their relationship became increasingly close.

Logically speaking, no one knows Xu Wanyan's alcohol tolerance better than Xu Wanlin.

Therefore, someone as meticulous as Xu Wanlin would definitely calculate the quantity carefully and would not make such a mistake, unless...

"boom--"

Xu Xingyin suddenly stood up and slapped the table, which frightened Dangui. Just as she was asking a few questions, she saw Xu Xingyin rush out of the room.

……

On the way to the morning court, Jing Zhichen was thinking about something when his horse let out a long neigh and the carriage braked suddenly. If it weren't for his good self-control, he would have flown out.

"Mr. He!"

Jing Zhichen was so angry that he could not hide it. Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard a woman's panting voice outside.

When he lifted the curtain, he saw Xu Xingyin, who was running with a red face.

He stretched out his arms to block the carriage, allowing Jing Zhichen to find out the reason why the carriage braked suddenly.

The little girl's dark hair was blown up by the wind, and the tassels on her hairpin made crisp tinkling sounds, which seemed to dissipate a lot of Jing Zhichen's anger that had been accumulating just now.

The bony hand lifted the curtain a little further and then waved at Xu Xingyin.

"Come up and tell me."

Xu Xingyin said "Oh" and got on the carriage without any hesitation.
