The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

Xiao Jian also heard the sound of the flare.

He was originally drowsy in the study, but was suddenly awakened by the sound and was almost awakened immediately.

He subconsciously called out "Xiao Fu".

But no one outside answered.

Xiao Jian realized it only later. He had asked Xiao Fu to go out and do something, and he might not have come back yet.

This isn't a festival, so where does the sound of fireworks come from?

Xiao Jian frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Perhaps because too many things had happened in the past few days, he felt a little uneasy, so he got up and walked out.

The fireworks in the night sky had long since dissipated, leaving only some smoke hanging in the sky.

Xiao Jian was trying to identify the location of the gunpowder smoke, and was in shock when he suddenly saw a servant running over breathlessly. When he saw him, he immediately shouted, "Master, something has happened!"

……

the other side.

The people from the Five Cities Division have arrived.

Wu Ji asked Xia Feng to take the assassins and Xiao Fu down first, and then said to Ying Ge, "Go back to the Marquis' Mansion and tell the princess not to worry. I'll keep an eye on them."

Brother Ying did not refuse. He nodded to Wu Ji, then immediately put away his scimitar and went out neatly.

Everyone only saw a black figure, which quickly disappeared into the night.

"This woman's martial arts seem pretty good." Xia Feng sighed.

"but--"

He thought of what Wu Ji had just said, and suddenly his eyes widened in shock, "What did you just say about the Marquis' Mansion and the Princess? Could this person be someone close to Princess Changle? What does this have to do with Princess Changle?"

"Brother, it's not good to know too much about some things." Wu Ji patted his shoulder and said earnestly.

Xia Feng was immediately startled when he was reminded by him.

But soon, he heard Wu Ji say again: "I will report today's events to my prince truthfully. When the time comes, let my prince thank you well."

"Thank you for your hard work today."

When Xia Feng heard this, he immediately came back to his senses. He said hurriedly, "No, no, it's not worth thanking for just helping me."

"Besides, I was originally under the command of the prince. The prince has been very kind to me. I have this honor now thanks to the prince. If I still need the prince to thank me for such a small matter, what kind of person would I be?"

The two of them were talking politely here.

Brother Ying jumped out of the Xiao Mansion first, rode his horse, and headed towards the Marquis Mansion first.

And the other side.

Xiao Jian also came over.

Just now the servant came in a hurry to report, but he couldn't explain clearly. He only said that people from the Five Cities Bureau had arrived. He didn't know what the people from the Five Cities Bureau were doing here so late at night, but at this moment, watching the path the servant was leading him, his heart was getting heavier and heavier.

Could it be that An Cheng’s affairs have been known to others?

But how is it possible?

He has only known about this not long ago, how could outsiders know about it?

Xiao Jian was extremely confused, especially when he arrived at the small courtyard and saw the Five Cities Division soldiers wearing armor and holding swords, who were obviously well-trained. His heart sank.

I just hope Changqing and the others are dead.

Even if they find the body, they can find other excuses.

Xiao Jian was in a state of confusion.

However, Xiao Jian is a man who is used to putting on a show.

Even though he was panicking inside, there was no trace of that on his face, and he didn't even look offended. When he saw Xia Feng coming out, he greeted him in a gentle voice.

"Commander Xia."

When Xia Feng saw him, he hurriedly greeted him, "Minister Xiao."

Seeing that his attitude remained the same, Xiao Jian felt a little relieved.

Just as he was about to ask him what he was doing here so late, he saw Wu Ji coming out from behind him.

Although Wu Ji did not have a specific official position, he was one of the three major guards around the King of Chang'an. Who in Kyoto didn't know him?

Almost the moment I saw Wu Ji.

Xiao Jian could hardly maintain the expression on his face.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at Wu Ji in disbelief.

It was not until he heard Wu Ji calling him "Sir Shangshu" that Xiao Jian came back to his senses. He quickly collected his thoughts and politely called the man "Guard Wu".

"Guard Wu, what are you doing..."

He looked puzzled.

Wu Ji smiled at Xiao Jian and said, "I found out something."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and soon, the killers and Xiao Fu were brought out. Looking at this scene, Xiao Jian's pupils trembled slightly.

Before he could ask, Wu Ji said politely with a smile: "It is about Princess Ancheng. We'd like to trouble the Minister to accompany us."

After hearing this, Xiao Jian's expression changed completely.

Under Wu Ji's gaze, he looked at Xiao Fu, Chang Qing and others in the distance. For a moment, his hands and feet became cold, his back became numb, and he couldn't utter a word.

……

Anyuanhou Mansion.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

Zhou Zhaoru and several other concubines were very anxious in the house.

Although Ming Yuandu and others did not say anything, they looked anxious.

This concerns the safety and survival of the entire family. Everyone is now like ants on a hot pan. Even Ming Yuanan, who has always been carefree and unconcerned, is worried now.

“Is this really related to the Xiao family?”

"If it doesn't matter, then aren't we doomed?"

He got to the point.

But now no one responded to him.

They didn't know the result either, they just hoped that this was really as Mingjin guessed, and that it was really done by the Xiao family, so that they could escape from it.

"I'm coming!"

Cuiwei, who was waiting in the yard, saw a black shadow jumping down from the wall. After taking a closer look, she recognized that it was Yingge without a doubt, and immediately ran inside excitedly to give orders.

For a while.

Except for Mingyao, who was still kneeling on the ground and had already lost his mind, everyone stood up.

Even Mingjin helped Princess Fuhua up.

Brother Ying strode in from outside.

Ming Yuandu saw her come in and immediately asked anxiously, "How is it?"

But Yingge ignored him.

He walked straight forward and bowed to Ming Jin: "Master."

"how?"

Mingjin asked.

Brother Ying nodded: "It was indeed the Xiao family who did it. The person has been captured by Wu Ji and the Five Cities Division. Wu Ji was afraid that you would worry, so he asked me to respond first."

After hearing this result, everyone in the room felt a sense of survival, and for a moment, many people started crying.

Several aunts were crying while holding their children.

Ye Xi and Ming Yuandao from the second house also held each other's hands tightly.

Ming Yuandu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just at this moment, someone came in with soldiers. These people came to capture Mingyao.

This moment and this scene.

Everyone in the Ming family had long been fed up with and hated Ming Yao, so how could they say a word for her? They wished she was as far away from them as possible, and would never have anything to do with them again.

As soon as the officers and soldiers came in.

Without waiting for them to pay their respects, Ming Yuandu immediately rushed to the officers and soldiers as if he was chasing away the plague god, saying, "This man colluded with outsiders and kidnapped my child. Take him away and sentence him to whatever sentence you should give!"

Those officers and soldiers were also familiar with this noble person in the capital.

I thought it was a servant, but when I looked carefully, I saw that the woman was wearing silk and satin and a golden hairpin on her head. Then I looked more carefully -

My goodness, isn’t this the Sixth Miss of the Marquis’ Mansion, the fiancée of the Fourth Prince?

But there were so many people in the room, Princess Fuhua and Princess Changle were still upstairs, and the head of the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion was also nearby... Even if the officers and soldiers were surprised, they didn't dare to say anything at this time.

Nodded hurriedly.

The chief of the officers and soldiers standing in the front raised his hand.

Immediately two people came forward and pulled Mingyao up.

Ming Yao did not struggle at this time. She let the two soldiers pull her up. But before leaving, she raised her head and looked at everyone in the room.

She saw these family members with whom she had lived for ten years, and they were now looking at her in silence, pain, or disgust.

She just looked at them one by one.

Only when he saw Ming Jingheng and Ming Jingrang, he did not dare to stop and hurried past them.

"Take the person away!"

Zhou Zhaoru was impatient at first and urged.

She now hated this adopted daughter so much that she wished she could be thrown into jail immediately and have nothing to do with them anymore.

Those officers and soldiers were naturally obedient.

Just as he was about to drag Mingyao away, he heard Mingyao suddenly look ahead and shout, "Mingjin!"

Mingjin was just about to help his grandmother back to her seat.

Hearing this voice, she stopped and turned back.

Different from the emotions of other members of the Ming family, Ming Jin was calm when facing Ming Yao.

Even when she looked at Ming Yao at this moment, there was not a single extraneous emotion in her eyes.

"Do you think you won?"

"I tell you, there is no winner between you and me!"

Ming Yao started laughing again as she spoke. Everyone looked at her crazy appearance with disgust and fear. Ming Yuandu felt ashamed. Just as he was about to wave his hand and tell everyone to leave, he heard Ming Yao say, "Ming Jin, do you think Zhou Zhaoru was really crazy at the beginning?"
