The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Xue Jinhua took in everything and couldn't help but say, "My Lord, it's very cold here. Let's go back first."

Wang on the side also echoed: "Yes, the cold here is so strong, I really don't know why all these people gathered here?"

However, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Even though everyone had left for a long time, Zhao Yuxuan's mind was still lingering with Xue Jinhua's words: "Why is she wearing so little?"

Could it be that she dressed like this deliberately to seduce someone?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuxuan's hands curled up slightly and clenched into fists. At this moment, Wang's words came into his ears along with the cold wind: "Yuxuan, move faster, don't delay any more." In an instant, Zhao Yuxuan woke up as if from a dream, thinking to himself: What on earth am I doing? How can I doubt Qing'er? Thinking back to the beginning, I couldn't resist the impulse and took her by force. And she has already given a lot to me, how can I doubt her for no reason?

So, Zhao Yuxuan tried hard to put aside those chaotic and complicated thoughts, quickly quickened his pace to catch up with Wang, and said, "Mom, you two should go back first! I still have some things to deal with."

When Wang heard the maid report that her eldest son was protecting Xue Qing'er, her heart suddenly tightened and she secretly said that it was not good. She knew that her eldest son would become unconscious if he met Xue Qing'er, so she hurried over to stop him.

Fortunately, it did not lead to a disaster in the end. Xue Qing'er's troubles were solved smoothly, and the relationship between the two was not noticed by others. At this time, Wang was concerned about Zen Buddhism and had no time to take care of other things. However, when there was no one around, Xue Jinhua could not help but fall into deep thought.

"Miss, let's go back early!" Sakura beside her reminded softly.

"Yinghua, come and see what this is?" Xue Jinhua pointed at the ground and said. Yinghua heard it and looked in the direction of her gaze, only to see rows of deep and shallow footprints left on the ground. In her eyes, these footprints seemed to be nothing special, so she answered in confusion: "Miss, these are just ordinary footprints, what's so special about them?"

"It would be fine if these footprints appeared in the front yard, but where is this place? Think about it carefully?" Xue Jinhua continued to guide Sakura to think.

After a period of deep thought, Yinghua suddenly had an epiphany, as if she had suddenly realized something. She screamed, "Miss, I understand! Didn't the prince of Zhenguo Mansion just say that he had mistaken someone? Then... could it be that... these footprints were left by that person?"

Although the prince did not personally admit who that person was, he at least confirmed that the person was a woman.

Staring at the rows of footprints in front of him, some deep and some shallow, Xue Jinhua thought to herself, I have to take a look no matter what, who is this guy?

As soon as she finished speaking, she followed without hesitation.

However, what Xue Jinhua did not expect was that this person was much more clever and intelligent than she thought. When they were halfway through the journey, the footprints that were originally clearly visible suddenly disappeared without any warning.

Obviously, this person has noticed the footprints he left behind.

"Miss, it seems that the man may have noticed something, so he deliberately erased the footprints." Sakura couldn't help but show regret, but when she turned slightly, her eyes inadvertently swept to the distance, and suddenly seemed to see something exciting, and shouted excitedly, "Miss, look, what is that over there?"

An exquisite embroidered shoe?

Xue Jinhua's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she picked up the shoe without hesitation and pressed it precisely on the clearly visible footprint outside the door. Surprisingly, the two were exactly the same, both in size and in the pattern on the sole!

Sakura, who was standing by, was stunned and cried out, "Miss, this shoe must have been dropped by that woman!"

Xue Jinhua nodded solemnly and said with a firm gaze: "This is the backyard of the temple. I think that person should have returned. But it doesn't matter. You should keep these shoes first. They will definitely come in handy in the future."

No matter who the other person is, as long as she dares to make any move again, Xue Jinhua secretly swore that she would find a way to find her out.

Just as Xue Jinhua and Yinghua turned around and prepared to return to the side room, suddenly, a maid rushed towards them from the front like a gust of wind.

"Hua'er, how are you looking at the road? Don't you see that the lady is here?" Fortunately, Sakura reacted quickly and stood up in front of her, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

The maid named Huaer fell to her knees in panic, begging for mercy in a trembling voice: "Madam, please spare my life. I really didn't see you just now..."

Yinghua wanted to continue scolding, but Xue Jinhua raised her hand to stop her: "Yinghua, forget it. After all, this is a holy place of Buddhism, we should have fewer arguments."

"It's only because the Madam is kind. If it were someone else, they would never let you go so easily."

"Hmph! If you are so reckless and ignorant of your limits again, you won't have such a good ending next time." Sakura lectured in a serious manner.

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, master. I will be extra careful next time." Hua'er hurriedly bowed in response, her tone full of fear and obedience.

You know, Hua'er is Zhao Yuting's personal maid, who has always relied on her master's power to act arrogantly in the mansion. However, today, she was out of character, not only did she not dare to talk back, she even dared not breathe.

This really aroused the curiosity of Xue Jinhua, who was standing by, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Hua'er seemed to sense Xue Jinhua's gaze and immediately, like a frightened bird, she hugged her arms subconsciously, then ran away without looking back.

Seeing this, Yinghua on the side was still very angry and kept muttering: "Miss, look, Huaer is a big celebrity around my aunt, and she is used to bullying others all day long, and my aunt is always confronting you. In my opinion, this time Huaer probably did it on purpose."

"Yinghua, come with me and take a look." Xue Jinhua didn't take it to heart, but she had a strange feeling in her heart. As she spoke, she once again stared at Hua'er's back as she walked away, and fell into deep thought...

At this moment, Sakura gradually regained her composure and couldn't help asking, "Miss, do you think there is something wrong with this flower?"

"You'll know if there's any problem if you follow them. Remember... don't let anyone find out."

After Sakura left, Xue Jinhua passed by the west wing and glanced inside the room, only to see that the door was tightly closed, like an insurmountable barrier that covered everything tightly, making it difficult to see what was inside.

However, Xue Jinhua was completely unaware at this moment. In this seemingly ordinary room, the Crown Prince, who was as cold and noble as the top of a snowy mountain, was staring quietly at the thin note in his hand, as if lost in thought.

"Are you sure that you found this through the crack in the door?" The prince's voice was as cold as ice, without any emotional fluctuations. However, beneath such a calm tone, there was a heart-pounding pressure.

Although the guard had long been accustomed to the prince's majesty, he was still frightened and trembled all over, and a layer of fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

You know, the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have always been a highly confidential matter, and outsiders have no way of knowing it. But now, this mysterious note actually accurately points to the noble identity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which really makes people feel confused and uneasy.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I deserve death for not being able to find out who left this note." The guard was so frightened that his knees went weak and he fell to the ground with a plop. His body trembled uncontrollably. He knew that he had committed a serious dereliction of duty and regretted it deeply.

The prince's face suddenly turned gloomy, and his originally stern face was now covered with frost. He stared coldly at the guard who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, go and accept the punishment yourself!"

"As you command, Your Highness..." the guard responded tremblingly, not daring to disobey in the slightest. He then slowly stood up and staggered out of the room.

The prince was the only one left standing there, holding the note tightly in his hand, lost in deep thought.

Not letting him die was a sign of His Royal Highness' kindness and compassion! However, what was puzzling was how His Royal Highness's whereabouts were leaked? Was there a spy hiding among them?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also realized the key issues. Although the things written on the note have not really happened, since this person can see through his true identity, it seems that what is written on the note is not false.

"Go quickly and ask the abbot to come over. Also, we need to continue to investigate who passed this note!"

.........

About an hour later, Sakura came back in a panic, panting, "Miss, just as you expected, there is something wrong with this flower."

Xue Jinhua's eyes flickered, and Yinghua took out a shoe with increasing excitement, saying excitedly, "Miss, look, this is the shoe Huaer just threw away. I picked it up and looked at it carefully, and found that it is exactly the same as the one I saw before."

"Miss, then it seems that Hua'er is the person that the prince of Zhenguo Mansion has an appointment with?"

"Haha, if that's true, wouldn't it be a joke? How could the prince of Zhenguo Mansion be interested in a mere maidservant like Hua'er?"

Sakura frowned, scratched her head, and thought to herself: That's true, Hua'er is plain-looking and nothing special about her, and that prince has always been greedy for women, so naturally he looks down on Hua'er.

But if it wasn't Hua'er, who else could it be? Suddenly, a thought flashed through Sakura's mind like lightning, and she couldn't help but cry out: "Miss, could it be... the little aunt?"

Xue Jinhua nodded slightly, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and she said softly, "Whether this is true or not, we will know in a few days. Go and deliver this pair of shoes to Xue Qing'er now."

Yinghua looked at the shoes in her hand with a puzzled look on her face, and asked in confusion: "Miss, how can you easily hand over such important evidence to others? What if something goes wrong?"

Xue Jinhua raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and comforted her: "Don't worry, Yinghua. Although this shoe is a key item, as long as it can help us, it doesn't matter who holds it.

Moreover, in order to clear her own grievances, Xue Qing'er will definitely try every means to make Zhao Yuxuan believe that she is innocent."

Although Yinghua had some doubts about her young lady's behavior, seeing that she had made up her mind, she had no choice but to nod obediently and walked towards Xue Qing'er's residence carefully holding the shoes.

In the dead of night, everything was silent, and the whole world seemed to be immersed in tranquility. However, in this silence, a shrill cry suddenly broke the silence of the night sky. Xue Jinhua was awakened by this sudden sound...
