Chapter 97 The Answer

Madam Zhao originally thought this was just a simple matter of fire, but she never expected that there was such a big thing hidden inside.

"Where...where is the person?"

When Madam Zhao spoke, her voice trembled slightly.

"Inside the cabinet, there are too many people watching during the day. We can't afford to damage our daughter's reputation."

Xie Qingran pointed to the wardrobe over there.

“We heard people coming from outside, so we hid them.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanqi also found it strange: "So they'll behave themselves?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the cabinet door suddenly opened, and four people fell out of it, all covered in wounds. Three of them were already dead, and only the one who had been hit by Gu Xiangyuan was still breathing!

"This...this?"

"What happened?"

Zhao Yuanqi strode forward, examined them carefully, and then looked at Xie Qingran and Gu Xiangyuan in disbelief.

"The bench, the candlestick, and the other one I bit to death!"

They all deserve to die!

Xie Qingran knelt there, her whole body trembling.

"you!"

"you?"

Zhao Yuanqi couldn't believe that this had actually happened.

In his memory, Xie Qingran was a delicate young girl. How could she be so ruthless?

"You're being far too vicious."

Looking at the bloody wounds, Zhao Yuanqi could hardly contain his excitement.

"They deserve to die."

Xie Qingran remained kneeling there and spoke coldly.

She never thought she had done anything wrong by killing these people.

"well done."

When Xiao Jue looked at Xie Qingran, his eyes were filled with heartache, admiration, and even more so, praise.

This little girl has the courage to protect herself and the courage to perish together with others; it's truly rare!

Wang, belatedly realizing what was happening, immediately stepped forward and grabbed Xie Qingran's arm: "Are you alright? Did they do anything to you?"

Now, everyone's eyes were on the four beggars, but after Wang said that, everyone's eyes returned to Xie Qingran.

Even though these people didn't say anything, their eyes were full of inquiry about whether Xie Qingran was innocent.

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Madam."

Xiao Jue's expression immediately changed, and he looked at her with a chilling gaze.

"Three out of four are dead, what else can they do to the young lady?"

"Could it be that Madam is somewhat disappointed?"

"My dear mother, these are truly words that only a mother would say."

Xiao Jue spoke coldly, looking at Wang Shi as if she were a dead person.

When Wang said those words, she was completely unaware of the unspoken rule. Now, upon hearing them, she immediately realized her mistake and looked at Xie Qingran with a face full of guilt: "No, that's not what I meant. I was just concerned about you."

"Don't worry, Mother, I'm fine."

"We're all fine."

Xie Qingran sighed and silently withdrew her hand.

“Madam Zhao, General Zhao, this kind of thing happening in the Zhao family is definitely not a coincidence. I hope it can be thoroughly investigated.”

"I'll check."

Xiao Jue spoke coldly, giving Hong Shan a look.

Sequoia understood, stepped forward, and took the only survivor from the ground.

Zhao Yuanqi finally realized what was happening. He looked Xiao Jue up and down and said coldly, "This is a matter for our General's Mansion. I'm afraid it's none of your business. Young Master, you think too highly of yourself!"

"My fiancée has been involved in such an incident at your General's Mansion. Do I have no right to interfere?"

"Your Zhao family can't even manage your own household, yet you have the nerve to say these things?"

"ridiculous!"

Xiao Jue snorted disdainfully. He had always looked down on Zhao Yuanqi, and now he looked down on him even more.

Seeing Xiao Jue's state, Zhao Yuanqi's expression darkened: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you have the will but not the power?"

"That's my business, it's none of your concern!"

"Even if I, the young master, were sitting right here, you would still be far behind me."

Xiao Jue raised his head slightly, and looked at Zhao Yuanqi with the same arrogance, contempt, and even a hint of disdain he felt when looking at a dog.

As expected, Zhao Yuanqi's expression immediately changed upon hearing this: "Xiao Jue!"

"go home."

Xiao Jue held Xie Qingran's hand and glanced at her indifferently, completely disregarding Zhao Yuanqi's anger.

Xie Qingran immediately understood and pushed Xiao Jue's wheelchair outside.

Wang belatedly followed suit, but the Prime Minister's wife did not let the Zhao family off the hook.

"If this matter is not resolved, I will not let it go."

The Prime Minister's wife coldly uttered those words and then took her precious daughter back home.

"What on earth is going on?!"

"Why did such a perfectly good banquet turn into this?"

"Where did these people come from? How did they get into my Zhao family's house?!"

Madam Zhao is now completely devastated. She truly doesn't understand why this situation has occurred, and she really doesn't know how to handle this matter next.

In utter helplessness, Madam Zhao could only sigh and slump into a chair: "Yuanqi, tell me what we should do now?"

"They took the living ones away, but there are still dead ones here."

“There will always be clues. We must find out what happened first so we can make a decision.”

At this moment, Zhao Yuanqi also realized the seriousness of the matter. He looked straight at Madam Zhao and sighed helplessly.

Madam Zhao realized what was happening, nodded, and then said, "Okay, I understand!"

Outside the door, Xie Qingran watched Xiao Jue get into the carriage and bowed to him, saying, "Your Highness, please take care."

"You..." Xiao Jue looked at Xie Qingran with a worried expression: "Are you alright?"

"It's alright!" Xie Qingran smiled slightly, clearly not taking the matter to heart.

She traded one for three and still came out unharmed, which was already a huge win. The most important thing was that she no longer cared about chastity. In her previous life, she had already lost her chastity in a beggar's den.

Seeing her calm expression, Xiao Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I will definitely give you justice in this matter!"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

I believe you.

Xie Qingran bowed again before turning around and getting into her carriage.

Over here, Wang looked at Xie Qingran with a worried expression: "They really didn't do anything to you, did they?"

"Mother, what kind of answer do you want?" Xie Qingran frowned slightly, looking at Wang Shi with some confusion.

Wang was getting anxious: "I want the truth!"
