Chapter 117 He Can Only Marry
Inside the cabin.
Xie Ruojiao heard her sister-in-law calling her name and was about to go over to see...
Xie Lingxi grabbed her hand and said, "Stay here."
It'll be exposed as soon as you go out.
"Why?" Xie Ruojiao was puzzled, "Sister-in-law seems to be calling me?"
"She's not calling you, she's calling someone else." Xie Lingxi said lightly.
Xie Ruojiao was full of questions. Besides me, who else on this boat is called Jiaojiao?
After a while.
Murong Shili floated up from the water holding a wet woman.
Jiang Rong and Xiao Nanxing had already arrived on the first-floor deck with a group of maids, and the maids helped carry the people onto the boat.
The woman's hair was disheveled after falling into the water.
It's dark underwater and I can't see clearly.
Finally out of the water...
Jiang Rong said with gratitude, "Thank you, Prince Duan, for saving me! Thank you so much!"
"I heard that someone fell into the water, how could I just stand by and watch him die..." Murong Shili was overjoyed, he was waiting for you to say this from the Northern Palace!
Unexpectedly, Xie Ruojiao fell into the water accidentally, and unfortunately Xie Lingxi was not rescued.
But since it was an accident, everything was even more perfect.
This saved the Northern Palace from suspicion of him.
Anyway, the goal has been achieved, so it doesn't matter if one is missing...
"Thank you, Prince Duan, for this time. Otherwise, if Miss Dong had an accident on our ship, I would not know how to explain to the Yongning Marquisate..." Jiang Rong said the second half of the sentence with a smile on his face.
Murong Shili was about to get up from the water when he suddenly froze. What? Miss Dong?
At this time...
The maids had already lifted Dong Xiqin's hair and, under the command of Xiao Nanxing, who had his back to the crowd, pressed Dong Xiqin's abdomen...
"Cough, cough, cough..." Dong Xiqin choked on a mouthful of water and woke up from her coma. When she saw Jiang Rong, she became furious and said:
"Are you deliberately using snakes to harm me..."
"Miss Dong, why don't you thank Prince Duan for saving you. He just passed by and pulled you out of the water..." Jiang Rong reminded.
Dong Xiqin paused, turned around in disbelief, and saw Prince Duan still soaking in the water beside her. Then she looked at herself, who was soaking wet. She felt like pie in the sky had fallen, and was extremely shocked and excited. Then she put on a shy look on her face:
"Thank you, Prince Duan, for saving me. But... but the relationship between me and Prince Duan is like this... like this... I have no face to live anymore..."
Although Xie Lingxi is gone, there is still Prince Duan.
Dong Xiqin was very satisfied.
But Murong Shili's face was as gloomy as water. He had a hunch that the Northern Prince's Mansion was trying to trick him...
"I seemed to hear you calling Jiaojiao just now--" Murong Shili stared at Jiang Rong.
Jiang Rong smiled faintly, "Yes, I saw Dong Xiqin fall into the water, and I panicked for a moment, so I called Jiaojiao to come and help save her."
A cold light flashed in Murong Shili's eyes. She was trying to quibble. She was clearly using the word "jiaojiao" to mislead him...
The next moment, Murong Shili realized that the Northern Palace knew what he was trying to do and that he was setting up a trap for Xie Ruojiao...
"Could it be that Prince Duan thought that it was my sister who fell into the water? You really meant well, but you heard it wrong. However, no matter who falls into the water, Prince Duan's righteous act of helping others is the same." Jiang Rong smiled.
Murong Shili was very angry.
The Dong family is just a mere family, the last of the four major generals, how can it compare to the Xie family!
No matter how arrogant the Xun family is by relying on the crown prince, the most powerful family in Daxia are the Xie family!
Unless the Xie family has no chance and the Dingguo Mansion is also impossible, he will choose the Dong family.
The Dong family is the substitute of the substitute in his mind.
But now that things have come to this...
He and Dong Xiqin had already had this kind of intimacy in public...
The emperor will definitely issue an edict to grant the marriage.
He can only marry.
In his previous life, Dong Xiqin was the person he carefully planned to marry after his attempt to secretly seduce the Duke Dingguo failed. He killed his wife to make room for her.
And in this life, Dong Xiqin was his helpless choice.
He just couldn't stand Dong Xiqin no matter how he looked at her.
But Dong Xiqin looked like she was threatening to die, so he could only frown and say, "Miss Dong, there is no need to say that. Regarding what happened today, I must go to the Yongning Marquis to discuss our marriage and give you an explanation."
Dong Xiqin wanted to clap and cheer, but she just pretended to be shy on her face.
Murong Shili finally took Dong Xiqin away reluctantly.
The Xie family already knew about his plan, and it was unclear whether the Duke Dingguo's Mansion would succeed...
He urgently needs a goalkeeper.
You can marry Dong Xiqin first, and then try to contact the Duke Dingguo's Mansion secretly. If it works, you can use the same trick to find another relative. Otherwise, at least there is still the Dong family to use.
…
Xie Ruojiao, who had just finished watching a play on the second floor, still didn't quite understand and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
Xiao Nanxing immediately said, "Second Miss, you don't know this, all this is thanks to our Crown Prince's wife who anticipated the enemy's moves, and thanks to our Crown Prince who made all the plans..."
Xiao Nanxing praised his two masters highly.
Jingzhe carried two unconscious people out of the bottom cabin...
The only servant left on the ship had no idea what was going on.
Jingzhe splashed water on people to wake them up and interrogated them carefully...
The two men were both tightly shut and refused to confess:
"We just received the money and followed orders to damage the pleasure boat... We don't know anything else..."
To let Murong Shili arrange such things...
Of course, it was the money that was paid to buy his life.
Otherwise, he would be implicated if the investigation was carried out.
"It seems that Prince Duan gave them money to buy their lives..." Xiao Nanxing has seen this kind of thing many times, and looked at Xie Lingxi to report.
Xie Lingxi said in a cold voice, "Then take their lives."
"Yes." Jingzhe accepted the order.
Drag the two men down.
Xie Ruojiao finally came back to her senses from the huge shock:
"So, Prince Duan originally wanted to make me fall into the water, and then... force me to marry him? He is like a toad wanting to eat swan meat! Even if I commit suicide or become a nun, I will never fulfill his wish!"
"Don't worry, second sister. Today we have fought with Prince Duan and have made everything clear. He knows that we are aware of his plans and he dare not plot against you anymore." Jiang Rong consoled with a smile.
Xie Ruojiao was a little scared. If she fell into Prince Duan's evil plan...
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Xie Ruojiao reached out and hugged Jiang Rong, feeling very touched. "Thank you and my brother for helping me!"
Such an accident happened.
Xie Ruojiao naturally would not buy any pictures, and followed Jiang Rong and the others back to the Northern Palace.
…
In the Princess's Mansion.
Dong Xiqi was setting up a game of black and white chess pieces, with a confident look on his face.
She had carefully planned a plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
As long as she slightly hinted to Dong Xiqin that she could only marry Xie Lingxi after getting rid of Jiang Rong, Dong Xiqin, this fool, would definitely become a handy knife.
By that time Jiang Rong is dead, even if the blame is traced to Dong Xiqin, it will have nothing to do with her.
And she could take advantage of Xie Lingxi's grief over the loss of his wife to comfort him and take advantage of the opportunity...
"County Lady, the Dong family just reported that Miss Qin fell into the water and was rescued by Prince Duan. Now the two families want to discuss the marriage and have invited our eldest princess to come over..." The maid came in to report.
Dong Xiqi was stunned. "What? Ahem...?"
Dong Xiqin is going to marry Prince Duan? What about her plan...
"Cough——" Dong Xiqin was so angry and anxious that she coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot.
"County Lady, take the medicine quickly--" The maid was horrified and hurriedly offered the Ningxin Pill.
