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

Yinghua said, "Miss, why don't you just go back..." Anyway, her own lady's goal has been achieved, so she thinks she can ignore the Xue family.

Inside the room, the flickering candlelight on the table illuminated Xue Jinhua's face, making her look unusually cool and elegant.

Xue Jinhua sneered: "Since he is so anxious to die, let's fulfill his wish as soon as possible!"

Yinghua still didn't understand, but she understood the deep meaning of her young lady's words and asked, "Young lady, do you mean... to meet His Majesty tomorrow?"

"Yes, of course I will go." Xue Jinhua replied with a firm look in her eyes.

Not only do you have to go, but you also have to prepare well.

Xue Jinhua ordered: "Go and get my second-rank imperial robes." Since they were going to the palace, they should do it in a grand manner to make the Xue family regret it.

After Yinghua left, Xue Jinhua walked to the front of the bookshelf, opened a box on the bookshelf, and took out a yellowed account book from it.

She thought to herself that since the people who wanted to exchange fate with her were her blood relatives, she didn't mind killing them all...

Early in the morning of the next day, the two brothers of the Xue family came to the Zhao Mansion early to pick someone up.

Xue Jinhua, wearing the imperial robes, walked out of the room gracefully, only to see Xue Laosan and Xue Laosi standing at the door waiting for her.

"Little sister, do you still remember how to speak later? I guess you don't need me to repeat it again." Xue Laosan looked at Xue Jinhua with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Xue Jinhua smiled slightly and replied firmly, "Don't worry, Third Brother. I have memorized everything you asked me to say."

After that, several people got on the luxurious carriage and drove slowly towards the palace. Along the way, the carriage was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere.

Finally, they arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Fourth Brother Xue took a deep breath, saluted respectfully to the emperor, and stated his purpose: "Your Majesty, there must be something fishy about my second brother. He was imprisoned unjustly."

The emperor frowned slightly and asked seriously, "Oh? Then tell me, what's so strange about it?"

"Your Majesty, the herbs my sister donated to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were originally produced by my Xue family's pharmacy. Therefore... although my second brother found a prescription to cure the plague, he was unsure of its effectiveness and possible side effects, so he did not dare to propose it rashly. This delayed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's condition."

The emperor's voice was still calm, and no emotion could be heard. "So, it seems that Xue Lao Er's behavior is excusable?"

"I dare not say that my second brother was wronged. After all, he did delay His Majesty's important affairs."

The emperor was silent for a moment, still doubting the truth of the matter.

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask my sister. At least... those medicinal herbs come from our Xue family."

Hearing this, the emperor turned his gaze to Xue Jinhua who was kneeling below.

She was petite, with a beautiful face and a dignified and virtuous temperament.

"Is what Xue Silang said true?" asked the emperor.

Xue Jinhua then raised her head, a trace of firmness and determination flashed in her eyes, "Reporting to the emperor, there is something that I dare not hide. I am not good at speaking now, so I would like to ask the emperor to read a memorial, and the matter will be clear at a glance."

After a while, a palace maid walked up to her and took a booklet. The booklet looked a little old, but it exuded a mysterious atmosphere.

The emperor frowned slightly, a hint of curiosity arose in his heart. He took the booklet and slowly opened it.

The two brothers frowned, with doubts and uneasiness on their faces. They originally thought that Xue Jinhua would act according to the plan, but now it seems that the situation has changed. They looked at each other, trying to understand Xue Jinhua's intentions.

Xue Silang wanted to stop it, as he felt that such an approach might bring unexpected consequences.

However, when he saw Xue Laosan's eyes, he realized that he could not act easily at this moment.

After all, this is the imperial palace, and any action needs to be carefully considered. If they disturb the emperor's interest and cause bad consequences, they may lose their lives.

The emperor opened the letter and read its contents carefully. As time went by, his expression became more and more solemn, as if he was shrouded by an invisible pressure. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere that made people feel suffocated.

Suddenly, the emperor slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Come, sentence the second son of the Xue family to death!" This sentence sounded like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present.

Xue Jinhua still kept her eyes down, as if everything happening around her had nothing to do with her.

However, only she herself knew that her heart had already been overwhelmed by deep pain and disappointment, and had become numb.

These so-called relatives usually deceived her in the name of family affection, but at the critical moment, they pushed her into the abyss without hesitation. They were just as hateful as Zhao Yuxuan. Even if they all died, she would not be affected at all.

"Are you sure this matter is only about the Xue family and has nothing to do with Xue Jinhua?" The emperor's voice was cold and full of doubt.

"Yes, everything Xue Jinhua did has nothing to do with the Xue family." Everyone answered in unison with a firm tone.

"But it is true. This account book records that your Xue family colluded with profiteers and took advantage of the plague to drive up the price of medicine in an attempt to make a fortune in the national crisis. This is ironclad evidence that your Xue family disregarded the people of the world. Now your sister is willing to sacrifice her relatives for the sake of justice and present this evidence, which proves that she has no connection with the Xue family." The emperor's words were full of sarcasm, which made the Xue brothers' faces change drastically. Especially the third brother Xue, his expression changed a lot, as if a wonderful face-changing drama was being performed.

How could he not know what his second brother had done? He had already sent people to look for the account book, but why did it fall into the hands of Xue Jinhua?

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

Xue Laosan cursed in his heart thousands of times. He was actually deceived by this woman Xue Jinhua.

She had obviously planned this in advance and chose today to present this booklet to the emperor.

This is a heinous crime of deceiving the emperor!

Once the charges are proven, the Xue family will be doomed.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The Xue family really has no idea what the second son did! I hope Your Majesty can see clearly."

Xue Lao Si was so angry that he was shaking all over, like a candle in the wind, while Xue Lao San, who was standing next to him, was as pale as paper, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.

He knew very well that the current situation was extremely unfavorable for them.

Trying to save the second brother at this time is wishful thinking and might even bring harm to the entire Xue family.

At this point, I have no choice but to abandon my second brother.

Although he was heartbroken at the loss of his second brother, compared with the life and death of the entire Xue family...his second brother's death was really insignificant.

The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked meaningfully, "Oh, according to Lord Xue, your Xue family really knows nothing about this?"

"I hope the emperor can see clearly!"

"In that case, let the Crown Prince investigate thoroughly!" The emperor rubbed his brows, his face full of fatigue and helplessness, "Until the truth is revealed, you can't even think of leaving the mansion."

After coming out of the Yangxin Palace, Xue Laosan's expression was just like a hungry wolf, wishing to eat Xue Jinhua alive, "Sister, you are really good at it!"

He really underestimated her. He thought she was just a little girl raised in a merchant family and didn't have any great wisdom. He thought that as long as he showed her a little kindness and gave her a little guidance, she would be able to obey his control. However, he never expected that he would be played around by her.

Xue Laosan had never been so embarrassed in his life.

"Don't laugh at me, Third Brother. These are just some little tricks that are not presentable." Xue Jinhua knew very well that sooner or later they would have a falling out, and now she was no longer afraid of anything.

"The lesson this time is to let Third Brother know that he must never underestimate his opponent, otherwise he will be defeated."

How can it not be miserable?

Brother Xue will not survive...
