Chapter 59: Taking Advantage of the Situation
"What's going on?"
Xiao Jiayi knew from Shen Shixu's inner voice that the Li family wanted to drug her, so she didn't dare to drink or eat a single sip of water since she got up in the morning. How could she still be tricked?
Xiao Jiayi thought carefully and quickly locked on the suspect. When she came just now, Li Qianxiao had been holding her arm tightly and staying very close to her. Could it be that the medicine was in her body?
Xiao Jiayi looked at Li Qianxiao in disbelief. How dare she put that kind of medicine on her body? Are the people in the Li family crazy? For the so-called glory and wealth, everything can be sacrificed.
"Li Qianxiao, are you crazy? You dared to use that kind of drug on yourself, do you think you are only harming me? You also inhaled that drug, and they can plot against me like this, who do you think they will send you who have also been poisoned by the drug?"
Li Qianxiao stood aside and heard her words. She said sternly, "Don't stir up trouble here. My mother and others would never do this to me. Besides, I had already taken the antidote before coming here."
After saying this, Li Qianxiao subconsciously looked at Li Wenqian. After seeing Li Wenqian's evasive eyes, her heart skipped a beat. Why didn't he dare to look at her? Was he really planning to send her away as Xiao Jiayi said?
While both of them were not paying attention to her, Xiao Jiayi took out a white pill from her sleeve and put it into her mouth.
Feeling the fatigue in her body gradually subside, Xiao Jiayi found a topic to continue delaying time, both to wait for the effect of the medicine to wear off and for Xiao Lie and the others to come.
"You are planning to make it a done deal. Aren't you afraid that after it's done, I will tell the truth to my father? If that happens, you will be in big trouble."
Xiao Jiayi pretended to be puzzled and tried to persuade them earnestly. Li Wenqian looked at her without any doubt. He just felt that Xiao Jiayi was using this method to force them to retreat.
"It's true that we want to make things a done deal, but from the beginning to the end, there is only one person we want to control, you. You can go to the emperor to complain after the matter is over, but as long as you go to the emperor to complain, this matter will definitely spread throughout the capital.
Even if you don't care about yourself, you should also consider your second sister, Princess Qingyang, who is still unmarried, and other unmarried princesses and county ladies in the royal family.
They will be implicated by you and criticized by others. Even if they get married, they will not be able to hold their heads up high in their husband's family because of you. ”
Listening to Li Wenqian's words, Xiao Jiayi clenched her fists. Although what this man said was disgusting, it was indeed something she was concerned about.
She doesn't care what happens to her. She is a princess anyway. The worst that can happen is that she will never get married.
But she has an older sister and other cousins. She can stay single for her whole life, but what about others? I can't stay with her and not get married.
Fortunately, even if they didn't hear Shen Shixu's inner voice, Li Wenqian and his team's plan didn't succeed, otherwise Xiao Jiayi would have died of guilt.
After knowing why they were so bold to plot against her, Xiao Jiayi stopped pretending and just stood up from the ground.
He brushed off the mud on his body, straightened the crooked hairpin on his head, and calmly called out to the back, "Uncle, Mr. Baili, I have already asked about the matter, you can come out now."
Seeing Xiao Lie and Baili Xi appear, Li Wenqian panicked, and Li Qianxiao even screamed, "No, didn't you leave? Why are you following us?"
Li Wenqian looked at Xiao Jiayi who had returned to normal, and then looked at Xiao Lie who was approaching him step by step. Li Wenqian finally understood that they had already discovered something was wrong, but they still took the risk just to take advantage of the situation and prove their guilt of plotting against the royal family.
But Li Wenqian didn't understand. They were hiding so well, what went wrong that allowed them to discover them?
"Your Highness, King Xiaoyao, now that it has come to this, can you tell me where we lost? How did you discover our plan?"
Xiao Lie ignored him. After knowing their plan, he didn't take action to destroy Li Wenqian directly. It was considered that he had good self-control, and Baili Xi held him tightly and didn't let him rush out.
Xiao Jiayi, mindful of their former kinship, was willing to let them know. "After receiving Li Qianxiao's letter, I left the palace. On the way to Li's house, I passed by Jinxiu Garment Store and remembered that she once told me that Jinxiu Garment Store had a treasure that was extremely beautiful.
I was thinking of buying it for her, but I ran into the prime minister's granddaughter Zhou Yan there and had an argument with her about the skirt.
Just at this time, Dali Temple Shaoqing Shen Shixu came to buy seasonal clothes and ran into our quarrel. I knew your calculations from his inner voice. ”
Li Wenqian didn't expect that he would fail at this step. It seemed that even God was helping Xiao Jiayi. The decline of their Li family was not only irreversible, but would be even more complete.
Li Qianxiao was stunned. She didn't expect that she would be the one who let Xiao Jiayi know the truth. She had just casually mentioned the skirt to Xiao Jiayi when she attended a banquet a few months ago. She didn't expect that she had remembered it so much and even planned to bring it to her as a gift.
But I helped my family to plot against her. We are both sisters, but I am really a worthless person.
"I'm sorry, I know it's too late to say this now, but I still want to say sorry to you!" Li Qianxiao walked forward with red eyes, trying to grab Xiao Jiayi's hand, but she dodged her. The tears in her eyes fell down.
Xiao Jiayi ignored any of them and turned to Baili Xi, half-kneeling and bowing, "Mr. Baili, thank you for giving me the medicine. I will definitely repay you for this favor in the future."
When Xiao Jiayi thanked Baili Xi, she did not forget Shen Shixu, but she was not in a good position to apologize to Shen Shixu, after all, she could not say anything that could make him hear her inner voice.
If I just go to thank him like this, I’m afraid Shen Shixu will think I’m mentally ill.
I can only try to find a way to help Lord Shen in some way later.
Shen Shixu didn't know that while he and Xiao Jinyi were happily flying the kite, the problem had already been solved by Xiao Lie and the others.
It was not until Xiao Jiayi stood in front of them that Shen Shixu slowly remembered the purpose of their visit to Mengshan.
Xiao Jinyi received Xiao Lie's gaze and knew that the matter had been resolved, so several people started to perform directly in front of Shen Shixu.
Xiao Lie held Baili Xi's hand and sighed, "What a coincidence! Just now, when Ah Xi and I were strolling around, we happened to run into Jiayi and her cousin. They seemed to be having a quarrel, so we just let her stay with us."
This time, Shen Shixu found an excuse to go out for an outing with Xiao Jinyi in order to prevent Xiao Jiayi from being plotted against.
Now the person appeared in front of him safely, and Shen Shixu didn't care what happened in between.
