There was an uproar.
When Yuan Musheng in the carriage heard this, his face turned pale.
[Bad guys! These people are bad!]
Yuan Zhizhi in Yuan Musheng's arms was so angry that she sat up from his arms, waving her little hands and making a threatening gesture.
[Xiaobai! Go!]
Yuan Zhao glanced around and saw clearly who said this.
That person was arranged by Bai Ruyue in advance. Her plan with the old lady today was to destroy the good reputation that Yuan Zhao had worked so hard to build over the past few days.
After the man had fanned the flames, he was about to quietly escape.
But with a cry of "Ah", something jumped out of the carriage and bit the man's thigh directly.
"ah!!"
The people around scattered, and in the middle, they saw a little white tiger biting a man's thigh.
Blood immediately gushed out of the leg, and the man grimaced in pain.
The scene was quiet for a moment.
Yuan Zhao walked slowly towards the man and called out "Xiaobai".
Xiaobai opened his mouth, but kept his claws on the man.
The man's expression was filled with fear. As he watched Yuan Zhao approaching step by step, panic involuntarily overflowed from his heart.
"What are you doing? Even if you are a princess, you can't take human life lightly!"
"You are just like your son! Relying on your power and influence..." Before he could finish his words, Biyun stepped forward and dragged him in front of Yuan Zhao.
"The princess killed someone!" Someone in the crowd started to make a fuss again.
"Don't eat this porridge. You might end up eating porridge or poison!"
"It seems that what the old lady said is true. She is unfilial and unfaithful in the Wei Mansion, and she is pretending outside!"
…
When the people around saw this, their expressions changed when they looked at Yuan Zhao.
This person just said a word, and the princess released a beast in the street to bite him. If he offends the princess in the future, wouldn't it be...
Many people who were queuing for porridge couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Seeing this, the old lady at the door exchanged glances with Bai Ruyue, then continued to cry and add fuel to the fire:
"Yuan Zhao! You withheld my medicinal herbs from my mansion, abused my maid, and lived lavishly. Your eldest son even forced a decent woman to hang herself, and that's all... This Yangzhou Prefecture is my son's life's work, and you're going to force the people of his city to their deaths too?"
Bai Ruoyue was in a corner, holding Wei Jiaojiao's hand, admiring her masterpiece.
After Wei Jiaojiao's reminder a few days ago, she realized Yuan Zhao's abnormal behavior and came to Wei's house in person.
After checking with the old lady, I was surprised to find that Yuan Zhao had suddenly become smart.
She was still drinking the recorded medicinal herbs, but her face looked rosy now, and there was no sign of her taking any medicine at all.
Bai Ruyue was worried that she had discovered something.
Combined with Yuan Zhao's recent actions, one can't help but wonder what she really wants to do.
Bai Ruyue is a smart person, otherwise she would not have controlled Wei Shaoqing for so many years and done so many things without telling him.
Yuan Zhao gained a good reputation through this series of actions.
Then she can just destroy it again.
I wanted to wait for Yuan Zhao to come back and find an opportunity, but I didn't expect Yuan Zhao to give out porridge directly at the door.
Bai Ruyue reacted quickly to the opportunity that came her way and immediately asked the old lady to start acting.
Gossip can melt metal. Yuan Zhao would be wrong whether he defended himself or not.
She would then arrange for some people to spread rumors, and when Wei Shaoqing came back, he would find that Yuan Zhao's reputation had been completely ruined.
Thinking of this, Bai Ruyue couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Wei Jiaojiao smiled sweetly beside her, looked up and said to her, "Mother, do you want your daughter to help you again?"
…
"My life as an old woman is so miserable..."
The old lady was still crying and wailing.
Yuan Zhao stood in the middle of the crowd, and people around her were pointing at her and talking.
But she still stood with her back straight, showing no fear at all.
Seeing her so frank, the voices of discussion gradually died down.
"The princess is reckless about human life!"
"The princess is unfilial and unfaithful!"
…
A few more people shouted loudly, but after they finished shouting, they were all pulled out of the crowd by Biyun and Xiaobai, and knelt in front of Yuan Zhao with the previous man.
Yuan Zhao looked at the few people with a cold gaze.
Sensing the captivating gaze, someone whispered, "Is the princess planning to resort to lynching?"
Yuan Zhao sneered, neither explaining the frame-up they were talking about nor answering the questions. He only said to Gan Tang:
"Gan Tang, go and ask the official from the government office to come over."
Gan Tang took the order and left quickly.
The others didn't know what Yuan Zhao was planning.
"If you still want to get porridge, just queue up and continue to get it. If you are taken away by these slanderous words in just a few words, I think you don't even want this bowl of porridge. Then you can leave the porridge to those who need it more." Yuan Zhao spoke calmly, not affected by these remarks at all.
But at this moment, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred in the sky.
"Quack" "Quack" "Quack"
The people in the carriage lifted the curtain slightly and kept an eye on the movements outside.
Yuan Nan'an exclaimed.
Yuan Zhizhi stretched her neck to look outside, and saw a black flock of crows in the distance flying towards the Wei Mansion and circling above Yuan Zhao's head.
It seemed as if those crows would fly straight down towards Yuan Zhao in the next second.
"Crows! These are all crows! It's a bad omen!"
"They all gathered above the princess's head. It seems that what they said is true! The princess is indeed a cruel and evil person. Even God can't stand it!"
…
[It's Wei Jiaojiao! She must be the one behind this!]
[Watch me!] Yuan Zhizhi waved her little hand, and the crows froze in mid-air, their throats as if being pinched tightly by a pair of large hands, unable to make a sound.
