Chapter 113 Su Jingge warns the princess!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Mao Gen's hand was wracked with pain, and it felt as if it were broken behind his back.

"Aaaaaah!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! Magistrate Su, what do you mean by this?"

"What have I done to offend you? Why are you treating me like this?"

Su Jingge smiled calmly: "Then I would also like to ask Brother Maogen, where have I offended you? Why are you framing me like this?"

Mao Gen's eyes darted around, his heart pounding with unease: "What...what...what do you mean by that?"

Su Jingge returned to the desk and sat down.

The flying sword forced the person to kneel down.

"Brother Maogen, the construction schedule has already been delayed by two days because of you. If you don't give the truth, we'll have to go through legal proceedings!"

Flying swords don't have the same smooth delivery as Su Jin Ge's speech.

His voice was icy, and his eyes were devoid of emotion.

Like a god of war on the battlefield, the sound sent chills down one's spine.

"Oh, and just one more thing, the food in prison isn't nearly as good as the food here!"

Mao Gen's thoughts settled down. They suspected that he was involved in this matter, and it would be rather rude of them to keep it from him any longer.

He immediately burst into tears:

"Magistrate Su, Flying Sword's deputy, I must admit that I did it, but I had no choice!"

Fei Jian's eyes narrowed, and he immediately grabbed him by the collar: "It really was you!"

"Flying sword!"

Su Jingge shouted.

The flying sword then released its grip.

Su Jingge asked, "Tell me, who is instructing you?"

Mao Gen wiped away his tears: "It's Princess Yongzhu!"

Su Jingge showed no surprise whatsoever. Instead, she tapped her fingers rhythmically, asking, "Why would she instruct you to do this to me?"

"I went to Tianbao Pavilion a while ago and gambled a couple of times, but I had bad luck that day and somehow lost all my money."

“I was not convinced and wanted to continue gambling. I said I had no money, but they threw me out. Just when I was feeling discouraged and thinking of coming back, I happened to run into Princess Yongzhu’s maid. She said she could lend me money, but I had to do them a favor.”

"I was gambling and I agreed to her without thinking."

“But when I did this, I was really unwilling. But he said if I went back on my word, he would report my gambling to you and kick me out of Yuxiang County.”

"Yuxiang County is my home. I really don't know where to go if I leave here."

Su Jingge then said, "So she told you to put water in and soak this material of mine?"

Mao Gen nodded.

Xie Mo, who was standing nearby, recorded everything he said and did.

Xie Mo spoke up: "Magistrate Su, even if Mao Gen admits that it is Princess An Wanyu, there is absolutely no evidence or witness to prove that he was instructed by her."

"If you think you can get that princess to confess with just a few words, I'm afraid... it won't be that easy!"

Su Jingge raised an eyebrow slightly: "What's so difficult about that?"

Now that Su Jingge knew who had instigated it, she went directly to find her.

With that, she got up and, with her flying sword, headed towards Princess Yongzhu's residence.

We arrived at the door.

Fei Jian said to the two junior officials, "Our Magistrate Su wishes to see your princess. Please have someone announce our arrival."

Soon, two servants came out.

"Please come in, gentlemen."

Unexpectedly, An Wanyu did not refuse them, so she must already know what it was about.

Passing through the hanging flower gate, we arrived at the main hall.

The servants have already prepared the tea.

The woman sat upright in the chair, her small face bright, her eyes glancing sideways at them.

Su Jingge was impeccably polite.

"Greetings, Princess Yongzhu."

"Since you're here, please have a seat."

After Su Jingge sat down, she looked at An Wanyu with her usual natural expression: "Princess, your wedding is coming soon, isn't it?"

"Yes, the eighth day of next month."

Su Jingge nodded: "Then I wish Princess Yongzhu and her husband a long and happy marriage."

An Wanyu smiled, her lips curving upwards.

"Since you're already here, just say what you mean. There's no need to beat around the bush with me."

Su Jingge stopped hiding it, after all, this was already giving her enough face.

"I would like to ask the princess, I have no grudge against you, why do you want to harm me for no reason?"

The woman put down her teacup, a mocking smile playing on her lips: "What do you mean? I harmed you?"

"Heh, you think too highly of yourself!"

The disdain in her eyes was unmistakable, but Su Jingge wasn't annoyed; she clearly wouldn't admit it.

"That's true. Princess Yongzhu is a noblewoman with a short memory. Then let me remind you, does the princess still remember Brother Maogen?"

The woman paused noticeably for a moment, then spoke again: "Not just any nobody can catch the eye of this princess."

"Alright, you may not remember the person, but the events... the princess must remember them!"

"A few days ago, Brother Maogen came out of Tianbao Pavilion. The princess's subordinates made a deal with him, paying him silver to do something for the princess. Isn't that nice?"

An Wanyu glared at her subordinate: "Is this true?"

The maidservant, without blushing or skipping a beat, said, "Princess, this servant is unaware of such a thing."

Okay, neither of them will admit it.

Su Jingge continued, "Since the princess doesn't admit it, that's fine. I still want to remind the princess that you instructed someone to frame my Xiaodongmen materials. Now that the school has collapsed, it was because of that batch of materials."

"The construction schedule has already been delayed by two and a half days."

"Princess, please remember that this is a project personally selected by the Emperor. If the school cannot be built as promised, I will be in deep trouble."

Su Jingge smiled again: "If I were to lose my life because of this, Your Highness would certainly not be at ease."

"I will not let any of those who harmed me get away with it!"

Their eyes met, and An Wanyu's hand trembled.

"Of course, if the princess only wants to compete with me, then she can choose to do so in other matters..."

"For example... in terms of feelings, Xiao Ziyu is already yours, and you will be marrying him soon. You have already won against me."

“I accept my defeat wholeheartedly, so there’s no need for the princess to go to such lengths and make things difficult for me.”

After these words were spoken, An Wanyu's eyes sharpened: "What are you? You dare to compete with me?"

"I just can't stand your arrogant attitude, so what?"

The woman's lips were deep red, and her smile bloomed like a poppy, fleeting and ephemeral.

There was an unconcealable sinister glint in his eyes.

have to!

Su Jingge felt there was no need to continue the discussion.

"Since that's the case, I've said what I wanted to say, both good and bad. If Princess Yongzhu is determined to continue fighting with me, then there's nothing I can do."

"Let's wait and see!"

Su Jingge stood up, a slight smile playing on her lips, her eyes revealing an undeniable domineering and ruthless aura.

A draft blew through the room; it was a warm summer breeze, yet it inexplicably sent chills down my spine.

An Wanyu clenched her fists, staring at the figure as she left her residence.

Her eyes were filled with unconcealed hatred.

Nothing good has happened to her since she came to Yuxiang County!

Yuxiang County belongs to her, and she's determined to drive Su Jingge out.
