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

After Xue Jinhua arrived at the prince's mansion, she waited for a long time before she saw the prince.

She bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, you are very busy, but you still took the time to see me. I am very grateful to you."

The prince had a calm expression, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. He raised his hand slightly to indicate that he didn't need to be polite: "You are too polite, Madam."

Then, the prince asked directly, "I heard that when Xue Lao San died in prison, the eldest lady was there?"

Xue Jinhua nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness. Third brother's body should have been poisoned a long time ago, but he just happened to be poisoned to death when I arrived. Please don't blame others, Your Highness."

After hearing this, the prince said calmly, "He committed suicide out of fear of punishment. The emperor has already investigated the matter and it has nothing to do with others."

This sentence made Xue Jinhua understand, that is to say, this matter had nothing to do with the Xue family and would not implicate the Xue family.

Giving up a chess piece saved the whole family.

The Xue family is really cruel!

Thinking of the indifferent look in Xue Sange's eyes at the end, Xue Jinhua felt a sharp pain in her heart. She took out the jade pendant in her hand and said to the prince, "Your Highness, have you seen this jade pendant?"

The jade pendant is warm, translucent, pure white and flawless, and is obviously made of top-quality mutton-fat jade.

But apart from this, there is nothing else to show for it.

The prince held it in his hand and examined it carefully. His hands were slender and his fair skin almost blended into the jade pendant.

Xue Jinhua had seen good-looking people before, such as Zhao Yuxuan before. In Xue Jinhua's eyes in her previous life, Zhao Yuxuan was the most good-looking person in the world. But after seeing the elegance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she realized that she was just a frog in the well.

Compared to the prince's beautiful face like a mural, Zhao Yuxuan looked very sloppy.

"Where did this jade pendant come from?" The Crown Prince's words interrupted Xue Jinhua's thoughts.

She met his cold eyes, which were icy to the bone, but... there was a hint of excitement in her tone, but it was very subtle. If Xue Jinhua hadn't observed it several times, she wouldn't have noticed it so easily.

But Xue Jinhua found it very strange, and a puzzled look appeared on her face: "Your Highness, do you know the origin of this jade pendant?"

The prince smiled slightly, his eyes were deep and mysterious: "I wonder if the eldest lady has heard of Wuyou Pavilion."

Xue Jinhua frowned, her voice filled with curiosity and confusion: "Your Highness, I have heard of Worry-Free Valley, but Worry-Free Pavilion..."

The prince nodded, and his tone became serious: "Madam, it is normal for you to be unclear about some things in the martial arts world since you live deep in the inner house. This Wuyou Valley is a martial arts sect. It is rumored that there are many disciples who live in seclusion among the common people. As for this Wuyou Pavilion..."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "It is an existence that is superior to Worry-Free Valley."

"This jade pendant is the symbol of one's status as a member of Wuyou Pavilion." The prince looked at her, gently touching the jade pendant with his fingers, his eyes flashing with thought.

Xue Jinhua's eyes widened, and a feeling of surprise surged in her heart: "So that's it!"

The prince continued, "Madam, the court is very wary of Wuyou Pavilion, and I have been trying to find out the news about Wuyou Pavilion."

Xue Jinhua was shocked. In her previous life, she was imprisoned in the backyard and knew very little about the things outside the palace, especially about the Wuyou Pavilion. She thought it was just an ordinary jade pendant, and she gave it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to show her loyalty. But she didn't expect it to cause such a disaster.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, I live deep in the inner palace, how could I know about the affairs of Worry-Free Valley and Worry-Free Pavilion? This jade pendant was given to me by my third brother before he died."

Wuyou Valley has a large number of people and is powerful. They usually hide their power and are undoubtedly a major hidden danger to the imperial court.

Not to mention that both the beggar master and the master came from Wuyou Valley, just talking about Xue Jinhua himself, if he admitted that he had any connection with Wuyou Valley, wouldn't he be courting death?

"Oh? According to what you said, the Xue family is related to Worry-free Valley?"

"Your Highness, this jade pendant is indeed my third brother's."

"Of course I believe what the Madam said, but Xue Lao San is already dead, and there is no evidence to prove his mistake."

He clearly didn't believe in me! Xue Jinhua snorted in her heart, but remained calm on her face, and replied calmly: "Your Highness, if I really have something to do with this Worry-Free Valley, I wouldn't be so stupid as to present this jade pendant to you."

"I understand." The prince looked at Xue Jinhua deeply, then returned the jade pendant to her and said calmly, "Since this is what your third brother left for you before he died, you should keep it well."

The warm jade pendant was like a hot potato at this moment, making Xue Jinhua a little at a loss.

She declined hastily, and said sincerely, "Since His Royal Highness knows that this is from Wuyou Pavilion, and he is looking for Wuyou Pavilion now, I will give it to His Royal Highness. It is my honor to help His Royal Highness."

The prince shook his head slightly and said firmly, "Madam, you are too polite. It is just a token of gratitude. It does not mean much to me. If I need it in the future, I will ask you."

After coming out of the Prince's mansion, Xue Jinhua's mood became particularly solemn.

In her previous life, she lived in seclusion in the inner palace, and until her death, her heart was still with Zhao Yuxuan. How could she have anything to do with the Wuyou Valley?

But now, could the person who exchanged fate with me be related to this Worry-Free Valley?

Thinking about the beggar master and then thinking about the master, Xue Jinhua's mood became increasingly heavy. Are they deceiving themselves?

No, it's impossible. The beggar master would definitely not lie to me, but he must be hiding something from me.

“Miss…” Sakura came up to me.

"Let's go back first."

Xue Jinhua got on the carriage, looked at the jade pendant and said, "Go and have someone contact the beggar master. I have something to see him about."

"Yes, miss."

Xue Jinhua returned to the mansion, thinking that everything would be peaceful, but who would have thought that a little girl would come running over in a hurry, "Madam, something bad has happened?"

"Why are you so panicked?"

"Master Yuhao has brought people to the house, saying that he wants to take the old lady away." The little maid seemed very anxious, "The old lady said she would not leave no matter what, and the two of them are now in a stalemate."

Xue Jinmiao's face was solemn, his brows slightly furrowed, and he asked in a serious tone: "Where are the Second Madam and the Second Master?"

The maid's face was tense, her lips trembling slightly, and she answered hesitantly, "The Second Madam and the Second Master...they had a quarrel because...because of the cousin's matter."

Xue Jinhua's eyes became sharp, and she asked in a low voice: "Tell me! What's going on?"

The little maidservant shuddered with fear and said quickly, "The Second Madam and the Second Master had a huge quarrel over the matter of the cousin. In the end, the Second Madam went back to her parents' home in anger, and the Second Master immediately chased after her..."

Xue Jinhua understood. She knew Zhou Yeqing had already started to act. She didn't expect her to be so fast. However, with Mrs. Zhou's usual vigorous and resolute style of doing things, if she didn't act quickly, she might miss the opportunity.

However, what made Xue Jinhua even more dissatisfied was that when such a major change happened in the family, Jiang actually chose to escape and pushed all the responsibilities onto herself. Did she think that she could stay out of it this way?

"Go and tell the second master and the second mistress that if they don't want the old lady to live, don't come back." Xue Jinhua's voice was cold. She was determined to teach Jiang a lesson.

After the maid left in a hurry, Xue Jinhua took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then walked into the yard with Sakura.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, he heard Wang's crying and angry voice, "Zhao Yuhao, don't think that just because you are an official, you can do whatever you want in the Zhao family!"

Her voice was full of resentment and dissatisfaction, as if the whole world had wronged her.

Then, she shouted again, "You ungrateful thing, the Zhao family was extremely poor back then, and we relied on our mansion for support. Before, you were begging for mercy in front of me like a lapdog, but now that you have become successful, you have turned your back on me? Now you dare to arrest people in my mansion at will? Are you tired of living?"

Her words were full of anger and accusations, which made people think of the past.

Zhao Yuhao felt helpless when he heard these words, but he remained calm. He said, "Aunt, I know you are angry, but I am not here to arrest someone because of a personal grudge, but because someone has indeed committed a crime."

His voice was firm and powerful, making his position clear.

However, Wang was not willing to accept his explanation.

She raised her voice, as if she was afraid that no one could hear her. "Committed a crime? Who committed a crime? What crime? Our Zhao family may not have any titles now, but we are still good citizens. Stop slandering us here."

Her words were full of disdain and provocation, and seemed to express strong protest against Zhao Yuhao's behavior.

Xue Jinhua's steps were as fast as the wind, and he moved forward swiftly as if he were flying.

"What happened?" Her voice was clear and firm.

When Zhao Yuhao saw Xue Jinhua coming in, he showed a relieved expression on his face, as if he was relieved. He said with some respect and humility: "It's just right that my sister-in-law is here. I was ordered to come and arrest the criminal, but now I'm stopped by my aunt."

"Oh? I wonder who in our Zhao family has committed a crime?" Xue Jinhua looked around sharply with a serious tone.

"Of course it's Wang Zhou." Zhao Yuhao answered without hesitation.

Xue Jinhua looked around, searching with sharp eyes, but she did not see the figure of Old Lady Zhou. She thought to herself that Old Lady Zhou had gone into hiding after seeing that her affair had been exposed.

"Nonsense! My sister is fine at home and never goes out of the house. How could she have done anything wrong? It's obviously you who are looking for an excuse to go against me." Wang's sharp voice sounded again, full of anger and dissatisfaction.

"Mother, the innocent are innocent and the turbid are turbid. Yuhao has mobilized so many people to arrest people. I believe he has evidence in his hands. Why don't you let Yuhao take out the evidence and tell us what exactly my aunt has done?"

"That's right, you should quickly produce the evidence. What on earth did my sister commit?"

Back to the point, Zhao Yuhao's expression instantly became serious, "Someone, bring the person out!"
