Chapter 1045 I hope she dies, preferably in pain

Maybe Xiaoxiao thought Jiang Wan was a soft-hearted person, which is why she said so much.

Jiang Wan suddenly smiled, "Xiaoxiao, how old are you?"

"Seventeen."

Xiaoxiao answered honestly. She didn't dare to lie to Jiang Wan about this because her age could be seen after all.

"The bandits that occupied Blackback Ridge seventeen years ago were not these people."

Jiang Wan raised the corner of his mouth in sarcasm. This group of barbarians had only been in Blackback Ridge for a short time.

Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, her pupils shrank slightly, and she heard Jiang Wan continue to say:

"But you didn't lie to me about one thing. Your mother did run to Blackback Ridge, and that's why you were born."

Staring at Xiaoxiao's expression which gradually collapsed, Jiang Wan continued:

"But your mother followed the Meng brothers again. What does that mean?"

"Princess, that's not the case."

Xiaoxiao wanted to explain, but Jiang Wan answered for her, "It means that you and your mother betrayed the former village leader."

Xiaoxiao: ...

Her eyes widened in shock, wondering how Jiang Wan knew all this inside information.

"Do you really want to plead for your mother?"

Jiang Wan was tired of standing, so Qiu Niang moved a stool behind her and she simply sat down.

Xiaoxiao's little thoughts were seen through by Jiang Wan, so she simply stopped pretending and laughed.

I laughed so hard that tears came out.

"The princess is smart, and I can't hide it from you. Yes, I hope she dies, preferably in pain!"

Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment, resentment towards Madam Meng.

For a daughter to hate her mother so much, a lot of things must have happened in the past.

Sure enough, before Jiang Wan asked, Xiao Xiao said, "She killed my father for her lover!"

"So you are the daughter of the previous village chief."

Jiang Wan finally got Xiaoxiao's biggest secret out of her. No wonder she hates the people in the village so much.

"yes."

Xiaoxiao closed her eyes in pain, "Before I was ten years old, Blackback Ridge was not what it is today.

Although everyone was a bandit at that time, my father knew his limits and never harmed ordinary people.

The people he robbed were also some rich but unkind people. He even took people from the village to farm in the mountains."

Those ten years were the happiest ten years of her life.

But her mother destroyed it all with her own hands!

That's why she hated her!

"Your mother killed your father."

Jiang Wan sighed. No wonder Xiaoxiao hated her so much. Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears.

“Daddy loves me the most, but that vicious woman made a bowl of sweet wine, and I personally delivered that bowl of sweet wine to Daddy.

She deserves to die, and so do I. It was me who killed my father."

"Where are the people in the village?"

Jiang Wan had heard from Song Jiuyuan that none of the people in this village were good people.

"Dead."

Xiaoxiao hung her head. "Those who didn't obey them were killed, and those who obeyed were trained to be what they wanted."

The uncles, aunts and uncles who loved her in her memory were no longer alive.

She finally laughed wantonly, "It's better to be beheaded at noon, or to die."

"Xiaoxiao."

Jiang Wan stared into her eyes and said, "Stop pretending. How could you survive until now with clean hands?"

It is true that she hates her mother, but she may not really want to die. Who doesn't want to live?

Seeing Jiang Wan expose her, Xiao Xiao laughed, "Princess, you have good eyesight, I am indeed not innocent.

But many things were done out of necessity. I always remembered my father's principles and never took the initiative to hurt an innocent person."

She had indeed helped some people who were abducted to the mountains. If it weren't for her mother being a favorite of the two bosses, she wouldn't be alive today.

"So you can live."

Jiang Wan reminded her, “Although you were exiled and the place is a little poor, as long as you work hard, you can live well.

You don’t have to be controlled by others and can live according to your own ideas.”

The border areas of Jiuzhou are slightly better than the places where they were exiled before.

"Thank you, Princess."

Xiaoxiao knew that this was the best result, and she smiled.

"I thought I could fool the princess. I guess every time the princess watches me act, it's like she's watching a clown."

“You’re a natural actor.”

Jiang Wan thought to herself, if Xiaoxiao lived in modern times, she would probably be a good actor.

Her acting skills are so good that Jiang Wan almost believed her lies several times.

Fortunately, Song Jiuyuan always reminded her not to trust anyone in the village.

"I will live well."

Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously. Even for her father, she had to live well.

Before leaving, Jiang Wan suddenly stared at Xiaoxiao's face and said, "I know, you have reminded us secretly many times."

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to eliminate the bandits in Blackback Ridge so easily.

"I hate them."

Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "I wish you could capture them, but I just didn't plan my own way out."

She thought she could continue to deceive the princess, but she didn't expect that the princess was quite smart.

"Here."

Jiang Wan took out a purse from her sleeve, which contained gold and silver, which Xiaoxiao could use on the road.

"Thank you, Princess."

Xiaoxiao did not refuse because she knew that these were very important to her now.

As for the princess's help to her, she would have the chance to repay it slowly in the future.

Jiang Wan left the cell, Song Jiuyuan was waiting outside. Thinking of Xiaoxiao's appearance, she couldn't help but say to Song Jiuyuan:

"Let those who are escorting her take good care of her. She is also a poor person."

"Um."

Song Jiuyuan nodded slightly. As long as it did not violate the principles, he did not refuse.

Song Jiuyuan was still busy, so Jiang Wan did not stay here but went back to the palace first.

Muxiang and Ganze, who had been away from Jiuzhou for a while, came back and were so excited to see her.

"Master, what herbs have we collected?"

Mu Xiang was excited and wanted to take credit in front of Jiang Wan. Fuling and Gan Ze were much calmer.

However, they also stared at Jiang Wan with anticipation, as if waiting for praise.

"What kind of herbs?"

Jiang Wan did not disappoint them. She looked over with curiosity and saw Mu Xiang proudly taking out a jade box.

"Master, look!"

Muxiang opened the jade box as if asking for praise, and inside was a transparent lotus.

This lotus is as holy as the lotus in heaven and as transparent as an ice sculpture.

"Green Leaf Lotus!"

A voice suddenly interrupted, and before Muxiang could react, the box in her hand was snatched away.

Fuling and Ganze were so scared that they rushed forward to grab it, "Who are you? Why are you stealing our things?"

Ruoshui dodged them quickly. She knew some kung fu and could jump far away in a few jumps.

Then he stared at the green leaf lotus in the jade box and said, "Sister Jiang is so anxious to find the green leaf lotus, I guess it's to help the prince detoxify, right?"

She didn't expect them to be so capable and they actually found it.

"yes."

Jiang Wan caught a glimpse of the defensive looks of Fuling and the other three, and slowly introduced:

"Ruoshui, these are my junior sister and disciple."

"Master, who is she? Why is she stealing other people's things? This is so uncivilized."

Muxiang was very angry because this was a treasure that they had worked so hard to pick.
