Aunt Zhang's eyes widened as she looked down at the gold hairpin piercing her heart, her face filled with terror: "You!"
"Aunt Zhang, you watched me grow up, how could I abandon you... Ah, help! Don't snatch it..."
Princess Lian'an shouted at the top of her lungs from inside the gate.
Those outside could not see inside, but could hear shouts and sounds of struggle and fighting.
thump!
Granny Zhang fell to the ground, her eyes wide with shock, and with her last words, she pointed at Princess Lian'an; "You, you will die a horrible death!"
Princess Lian'an's lips curled up, and she glanced at Su Jing sideways; "Clean up the courtyard, then drag the person out through the back door."
Su Jing snapped out of her daze and hurriedly ordered someone to take Zhang Da Niang's body away.
The people outside the door turned pale when they saw the corpse.
The guards under the eaves were all carrying knives and had murderous expressions on their faces. The men had never seen such a scene before, and they all retreated.
Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers broke the silence of the courtyard.
There was also the sound of wind instruments.
"The groom is here!" the matchmaker shouted at the top of her lungs.
Princess Lian'an's expression changed slightly.
As the wedding procession watched Zhao Zhiyan rushing in, dressed in a bright red wedding robe, they were dumbfounded by the mess in the inner courtyard.
Was I robbed?
Zhao Zhiyan quickly stepped through the crowd and stood before Princess Lian'an, looking her up and down: "Are you... are you alright?"
Princess Lian'an buried her face in Zhao Zhiyan's arms and cried out, "Brother Zhiyan, I thought you weren't coming."
He gently patted Princess Lian'an's back, and smelled a bloody odor. He asked, "Are you injured?"
No, no.
"What exactly is going on?"
Princess Lian'an's mind raced, and she looked at Zhao Zhiyan with a weak and helpless expression: "Brother Zhiyan, I... I don't know what happened. These people suddenly turned on me and became aggressive. Aunt Zhang even tried to snatch the jade pendant from my body. In order to protect me, Su Jing killed her in a fit of anger."
Su Jing was stunned.
The person was clearly killed by the princess, so how did it become him?
Princess Lian'an looked at Su Jing and said, "Su Jing, you are so careless."
Su Jing came to her senses and knelt on the ground: "Princess, please forgive me. I couldn't stand seeing you being threatened. This old woman is greedy and insatiable. She knew you were pregnant, yet she deliberately provoked you. I deserve to die."
Zhao Zhiyan glanced at the body that hadn't been carried away yet in the corridor, paused for a moment, gave a few instructions to the guards, and the person was quickly carried away.
The matchmaker behind him had never seen such a scene before and was at a loss for words, staring at Zhao Zhiyan expectantly.
"What happened in Beiyuan today will not get out, so don't worry. I'm late," Zhao Zhiyan reassured him gently.
They then ordered someone to redo Princess Lian'an's makeup and dress her up.
Princess Lian'an nodded with tears in her eyes. Su Jing got up and helped her to the dressing table. When Zhao Zhiyan lowered his eyes, he suddenly noticed some bloodstains on his hands.
He frowned.
He subconsciously looked at Su Jing, who was tidying up Princess Lian'an's slightly disheveled wedding dress. Her hands were clean and white, without any bloodstains.
On the contrary, a hint of red was faintly visible on Princess Lian'an's fingertips, which were hanging inside her sleeves.
No, no, Lingqing is timid and gentle, how could she possibly kill Aunt Zhang?
