After realizing this, Qiao Wan'er immediately refuted.

"How much benefit did you get from Qiao Linxi to slander me like this? Mr. Xu and I are innocent."

"Still innocent, ugh!"

Officer A spat at Qiao Wan'er and said, "When you and Xu Yanzhou were doing that in the inn, Meng Lang's voice could be heard throughout the inn."

"If you weren't guilty, we brothers would all like to see what you look like. You must be more attractive than the yellow-faced woman at home."

Qiao Wan'er's face turned pale and she kept shaking her head: "You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense."

"Bah, don't you think you are worthy of my nonsense, regardless of your status?"

The two officers didn't talk for long and left soon. But before leaving, they gave Xu Ruifeng a meaningful look.

"It is your blessing to be favored by the princess. Hurry up and leave. If you bring bad luck to the princess, you will suffer the consequences."

The official left, and the Marquis's wife also drove her son away. She didn't want her son to die here because he had finally managed to stay alive and plead for them.

"Father, Mother, wait for me."

After saying this, Xu Ruifeng walked out of the cell holding back his tears.

As soon as the officer left, Xu Yanzhou's mother Yang Yuelan pounced on and beat Qiao Wan'er.

"You bitch! If it weren't for you, how could my son do such a thing?"

"Aunt, this is none of my business. I didn't know my cousin sent someone to kill Qiao Linxi."

Qiao Wan'er dodged while explaining.

"How is it none of your business? If you hadn't come to my son to cry about that insubstantial thing, how could my son be so impulsive?"

Yang Yuelan grabbed Qiao Wan'er and slapped her in the face.

After Xu Yanzhou was arrested, she was filled with anger, and now that she was a prisoner, the anger became even stronger. She didn't dare to get angry at Lord Xu, so she could only vent it on Qiao Wan'er.

Qiao Wan'er was also a little annoyed by the beating. She pushed her away and yelled at her, "If it wasn't for my cousin's vanity, why would he kill Qiao Linxi? It's because he wants to marry the eldest daughter of the Qiao family."

Seeing Yang Yuelan and Qiao Wan'er acting like shrews, the Marquis's wife sneered, did not interrupt, and walked to sit next to Marquis Xu.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry..."

Lord Xu knew that there was no hope for him to turn things around, so he held his wife's hand, his face full of guilt.

"master……"

The Marquis's wife knew everything clearly in her heart. Even if Marquis Xu had not done that kind of thing back then, this day would have come to pass in their Marquis's Mansion.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Fortunately, Feng'er stayed. Although he became a slave in the princess's mansion, he still left the bloodline of the Xu family."

Lord Xu nodded and said, "Yes, there is nothing to be afraid of, it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death."

"Okay, stop arguing."

Xu Yanzhou hugged Qiao Wan'er to protect her, then looked at his mother: "Aunt, what's the point of saying all this now? Aunt, do you really think that even if I didn't murder Qiao Linxi, our Xu family would be fine? Can we continue to walk gloriously in the capital?"

Look, Xu Yanzhou is also a smart man.

"To exterminate our entire Xu family with the charge of murdering the princess, this reason is better than the emperor making up a charge out of nothing to make people feel better, right?"

After saying that, Xu Yanzhou looked at Lord Xu and asked, "Father, is Wan'er really my sister?"

Lord Xu looked up at Xu Yanzhou, then at Qiao Wan'er, and said, "At this point, whether it is true or not, what does it matter? Now that our family of Jian'an Marquis' Mansion is on the road in one piece, this is a good thing."

There was no quarrel in their cell, the atmosphere was very solemn. The servants in the next cell were crying and shouting that they were wronged.

Qiao Linxi was sent back to the princess's residence because of a torn wound. She was supposed to go to Tianqi Academy to watch the competition, but she couldn't.

"Princess, rest assured. I will make arrangements and have someone post a notice at the entrance of Tianqi Academy, telling the students that if they are willing to serve the princess, they can come directly to the princess's mansion to sign up. The princess will then make a careful selection."

"No, we'll go see it later."

Qiao Linxi didn't want to use the identity of a princess, because this was an era of power. If she used the title of princess, she was afraid that some people who liked to curry favor with the powerful would come to her.

Such people only care about power and status and cannot truly consider the people.

"Then... I'll go find my eldest brother. Princess, please tell Wang Ma if you have anything to say."

Qiao Linxi smiled: "Go ahead, I'm not a child anymore, I can take care of myself. Besides, there are so many people in the mansion, nothing will happen."

Meng Qingyu left the princess's residence, looking back every few steps. Qiao Linxi laughed: "She is really a housekeeper."

"Princess……"

When Nanny Wang saw Qiao Linxi smiling at Meng Qingyu's back, she also smiled: "The Prince Consort is a really nice guy."

"I just love to worry."

Nanny Wang said, "That's because the prince consort has the princess in his heart."

"I came here to ask Princess, what should be done with Master Xu?"

Qiao Linxi felt a headache when she mentioned Xu Ruifeng. This scene was very similar to the time when Gu Changfeng wanted to frame Qin Guoyun for treason.

At that time, Gu Changfeng had already detained the Qin family, but he just walked past the door of his shop. Wasn't he giving me a way out and asking me to speak up and protect the Qin family?

Now, who would miss one person when the whole family was executed? Why did Xu Ruifeng come to find me? Wasn't it Gu Changfeng's order?

He is really...

Do you want to fill your harem? Do you really want to send all the young, handsome and talented men in the entire Dai Viet Kingdom to your side?

She is not the queen ant, how can she bear it?

Among those young and handsome guys, it’s enough to have one as your husband, and for the others you can just watch from afar.

She really didn't want to take them all under her skirt.

"Wait for Master Meng to come back and make arrangements for him."

Since Meng Qingyu is the prince consort, he naturally has to be responsible for arranging the affairs of the princess's mansion.

"Let Dongqing do my makeup while I go to Tianqi Academy to take a look."

"Princess, you're injured." Nanny Wang was worried.

"It's okay, I can't die."

After Dong Qing came in, he heard that Qiao Linxi was going to Tianqi Academy and tried to stop her.

"Princess, from today on, the academy is not only full of students taking the exam, but also many people who are just joining in the fun. Princess, you still have injuries on your body, what should you do if you get bumped or bruised?"

"Why don't you let me go? I'm already an adult, how can I not take care of myself?"

Dong Qing immediately knelt down and said, "Princess, I know you can take care of yourself, but if something goes wrong, I can't bear the responsibility. Steward Gu will kill my whole family."

Qiao Linxi: ...

"Then, I can go to Qiao's house, right?"

Dong Qing's tense face relaxed and she quickly stood up: "I will help you dress up."

As he was speaking, a servant came to report that there was a Miss Qiao outside the door asking to see him.
