After Jiang Xinrui appeared, she didn't even look at the delegations from other forces. As soon as she appeared, her gaze was fixed on the people from the Jiangbei City delegation.

Upon hearing the questions raised by the various delegations, she immediately snorted coldly and glared at the Jiangbei City delegation, saying in a chilling voice:

"You may not know this, but the Miao people are not only helping the barbarian bandits now. Jiangbei City is also entangled with the Miao people."

As soon as Jiang Xinrui said this, the scene fell silent for a moment, followed by an uproar.

"How is this possible?"

"Yes, isn't General Shen the one who dislikes the Miao people the most? How could he possibly have anything to do with the Miao people? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Not necessarily. This newly appointed city lord's wife used to be someone close to General Shen..."

The other members of the delegation looked at the people from Jiangbei City with different expressions, chattering amongst themselves, actually wanting to see how the people from Jiangbei City would react.

What they really wanted to see was for Qi Chengfeng and Shen Muzhi to start fighting immediately.

That way, they won't have to face those two ruthless people directly anymore, and they might even be able to reap the benefits.

Upon hearing Jiang Xinrui's words, Yan Xiao knew what this woman was up to.

People all over the world turn pale at the mention of Miao people. If it is confirmed that Shen Muzhi is associating with Miao people, then the people's hearts will be doomed.

Not only that, she could also get Qi Chengfeng to use this excuse to unite with other forces to deal with Shen Muzhi. At that time, no matter how powerful Shen Muzhi was, he would be severely injured even if he didn't die.

This shows how malicious this woman is.

Yan Xiao wanted to do something, but she noticed that the person next to her was very calm and composed, acting as if it had nothing to do with her and was detached from the situation.

If the person in question isn't in a hurry, then why is she in such a rush?

Given the current situation, Shen Muzhi must have other plans. Her best option now is to wait and see and not cause any trouble.

Just as Yan Xiao was thinking this, she saw Qi Chengfeng say with a pained expression:

"I also don't want to believe that Shen Muzhi would collude with the Miao people, but I believe everyone has heard that Shen Muzhi's wife is strange and knows about witchcraft."

"Only the Miao people understand Gu poison; this is common knowledge. Coupled with other clues, I can't help but believe it."

As soon as Qi Chengfeng finished speaking, Jiang Xinrui quickly chimed in:

"I have no reason to lie to you about this. To my shame, everyone knows that I was once deeply infatuated with Shen Muzhi, and I cannot deny that. I can only blame myself for being naive and unaware of people back then."

The reason I've fled Jiangbei and ended up here is because I've discovered Shen Muzhi's true colors, and in my deepest sorrow, I've chosen to abandon darkness and embrace the light.

The two spoke with genuine sincerity, and since what they said wasn't a lie, it was even more credible.

Not to mention the other forces that wanted to add fuel to the fire, even Yan Xiao was almost convinced. If the timing weren't so bad, she would have applauded the two of them.

Yan Xiao, hiding at the back of the group, couldn't help but tug at the hem of the person next to her, and whispered:

"Are you just going to stand here and let them make fun of you? What's your backup plan?"

Shen Muzhi glanced down at the person who was already pressed against him, a barely perceptible smile appearing in his eyes. He then patted Yan Xiao's hand reassuringly and whispered:

"Don't worry, just watch patiently."

Before Shen Muzhi could finish speaking and before Yan Xiao could reply, General Cui, as if just realizing what was happening, took two angry steps forward and loudly rebuked:

"That's utter nonsense. Everyone in the world knows what kind of person our general is."

Our general's wife is not only beautiful and kind-hearted, but also skilled in medicine and has the ability to bring the dead back to life. She also helped our general properly settle the refugees outside Jiangbei City, giving them a way to survive, and is deeply loved by the people.

Now, how can we allow the people of Yanyun City to make such arbitrary accusations?

"Hehe~, beautiful inside and out? You mean that woman is beautiful inside and out?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinrui reacted as if she had heard a great joke, a mocking smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with undisguised resentment.

All I heard was her sarcasm:

"General Cui, do you have some misunderstanding about beauty? I've seen that woman; calling her incredibly ugly is being kind. Although I've heard she seems to have changed somewhat, no matter how much she changes, a chicken can never become a phoenix."

As for your claim of being kind-hearted, that's utter nonsense. Everyone knows she's greedy, ruthless, and only does things for profit.

If it's driven by selfish desires, even if one happens to do a good deed, it's just an accidental stroke of luck; how can that be considered kindness?

Jiang Xinrui had completely lost her former gentle demeanor, and her words were even more impolite, making no attempt to hide her disgust for Yan Xiao.

She was impolite, and General Cui was even less so, his tone even more sarcastic than hers.

"Doctor Jiang, I know that you hate our general and his wife because of love, but no matter what, our general's wife is at least upright in her conduct."

Unlike some women who appear gentle and virtuous on the surface but are actually pretentious and hypocritical, it's no wonder our general doesn't find them attractive.

"you......"

General Cui's words were practically a direct insult to Jiang Xinrui, almost causing those present to lose their composure.

Yan Xiao, hiding in the crowd, also repeatedly expressed her admiration:

"Wow, I never knew General Cui was so good at cursing people. We can consider letting him do the challenging work in the future."

Upon hearing this, Shen Muzhi smiled slightly but remained silent, only glancing up at the sun overhead as if calculating the time.

Yan Xiao was so engrossed in watching the show that she didn't notice his actions at all.

Jiang Xinrui was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time. Finally, she flung her sleeves and gritted her teeth, saying:

"Stop talking nonsense. It's true that Yan Xiao knows Gu, right? And that Miao ethnic 'holy maiden' next to Shen Muzhi was brought to Shen Muzhi's side by Yan Xiao, isn't that right?"

Doesn't this prove she has a close relationship with the Miao people? Just for this alone, Jiang Beicheng is already utterly wicked.

Jiang Xinrui looked at the other members of the delegation and said seriously:

"You all need to think this through carefully. If Shen Muzhi really cooperates with the Miao people and colludes with the barbarian bandits, then what will this world have to do with you? What way will you have to survive?"

Those chosen to lead the mission were people of some standing; they had originally intended to sit back and watch the show.

But after hearing Jiang Xinrui's words, their expressions turned somewhat ugly, and their gazes toward the Jiangbei City delegation gradually turned cold. They had already begun to plan how to send messages to their respective factions.

Yan Xiao was getting restless at this point. If things were allowed to continue, Jiangbei City would become the target of everyone's criticism.

Putting aside the fact that she and Shen Muzhi are now in the same boat, she has only just started to build a small business in Jiangbei. If it were to disappear like this, she would be extremely depressed.

But when she turned to look at the people next to her, she found that they were still leisurely, and even had the mood to look up at the sky.

Her eyelids twitched, and she really wanted to ask the old man what he had come here for.
