Chapter 129 The Governor Wants Her Dead
Ning Cuo's beautiful lips curled up, "The eldest princess personally took action, how could I be dissatisfied?"
Unexpectedly, the princess' beautiful face frowned upon hearing this. Then she spoke again, "If that's the case, I will send her away tomorrow and will never let her appear before Lord Governor again."
Ning Cuo curled his lips without saying anything. Seeing this, the princess stood up and bowed, "The matter is closed, then I will not disturb you anymore."
Ning Cuoqing put down the teacup and stood up, then smiled and stretched out his hand to the woman watching the show, "Let's go!"
Xiao Tu ignored him and glanced at the eldest princess who lowered her head. Then she curled her red lips and skipped towards the door with her hands behind her back.
Seeing this, Ning Cuo curled the corners of his lips and slowly followed.
The two men walked past Li Qiaojing, who was covered in blood in the hall. Their eyes remained calm the whole time, without even a single glance, as if they didn't notice that there was such a person in the room.
The eldest princess watched these two unique men and women leave quietly, then she looked away and sat back in her chair.
At this moment, a group of maids rushed out of the room and quickly helped Li Qiaojing clean up the things on the ground.
After a cup of tea, Li Qiaojing's embarrassment was gone. Except for her pale face, she was able to stand up slowly.
She was helped forward by two maids, and then slowly sat down in front of the eldest princess.
Li Qiaojing looked at the noble and beautiful woman, her fingers entangled in her dress, with an expression of closeness and fear.
The eldest princess's cold gaze swept over her, and she said indifferently, "If your mother had not been my personal maid since childhood, and if I had not implicated your family in the aftermath of their murder, how could I have accepted someone as foolish as you as my godsister?"
Li Qiaojing immediately lowered her head and shrank back in fear.
The princess continued coldly, "I thought I had given you a respectable status and that I could get you a good marriage, but you secretly hooked up with the Duke of the County, got pregnant, and when you realized he couldn't marry you, you turned around and schemed against Qu Chengyi.
Do you know what kind of family the Quling Marquis family is? They are the current Wu Hou, a real military family. His grandfather, the old Marquis Qu, is still serving in the Six Lords.
Do you also know who is the head of the Xu family that Qu Chengyi married into?
Do you think that the orphan girl of the Xu family has no one to rely on, so you can just let you scheme against her?
Don't you think about it? How could a woman like her be able to take charge of the general's mansion that was once so famous?
How could she convince the old Marquis of the Qu family to allow Qu Chengyi, his most beloved grandson, to marry into her family?"
After hearing this, Li Qiaojing finally realized what was happening and started to panic. "I, Princess Sister, I don't know. It's just that the Duke said..."
"The Duke of the County has a feud with the old Marquis Qu, and you are just a toy that can be used at will. You have set your sights on Qu Chengyi, so he is naturally happy to make things difficult for him.
Besides, if he can use you to join me in fighting against the Qu family, that would be a great benefit to him."
Li Qiaojing's face turned even paler when she heard this. She didn't expect things to be like this. And maybe what she thought was mutual love from the beginning was all fake!
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. The eldest princess stared at her with a cold, dark gaze. "I can treat you as foolish and ignorant, and I can use all sorts of tricks to save you. But today, you truly deserve to die..."
Li Qiaojing was so frightened when she heard this that she fell to her knees on the ground, shouting in fear, "Princess sister, spare my life..."
The princess stared at her coldly and said, "Do you think I wanted to kill you? I tried every possible way to save you. If I had been a step later today, you would have been a corpse by now!"
He took a deep breath, frowned, and said faintly, "But unfortunately, it seems it's still too late..."
Li Qiaojing was stunned when she heard this.
When she was forced to kneel down by the eldest princess today, she already knew that her trouble had been discovered.
Later, when she saw the eldest princess invite people back and was extremely polite and modest towards the men, she was so scared that she did not dare to resist at all when she was punished.
Now that the other party has left, she has received the punishment she deserves, and the eldest princess did it herself. She has given the other party enough face, right?
But why did the princess say it was too late?
Li Qiaojing panicked and said, "Princess, what do you mean? That governor, didn't he say he was satisfied?"
The princess spoke solemnly, "He only said that he was satisfied with my handling of the matter. Did you understand what he meant?"
Li Qiaojing panicked even more. "Does this have any other meaning?"
The princess glanced at her after hearing this, but didn't explain. She turned her mouth coldly and asked, "Before I came here, what did you do to offend this person?"
Li Qiaojing felt so wronged. "Before the princess came, I was constantly being insulted by that damn woman. I was almost mad to death, but I never said a word to that governor!"
The princess's eyes darkened when she heard this. "Is that the woman beside him?"
Li Qiaojing immediately said angrily, "That's right, Princess Sister, you don't know, that bitch..."
The eldest princess interrupted her, "Do you know this person?"
Li Qiaojing paused and shook her head, "I don't know him, I just know he's the fortune teller hired by Mr. Qu."
The eldest princess's brows slowly furrowed. "Fortune-telling, Master?"
Li Qiaojing watched the eldest princess slowly fall into deep thought.
I couldn't help but get anxious and said, "Princess sister, what should I do?"
The eldest princess came back to her senses, then looked at her and said, "I will send you away now."
Li Qiaojing was stunned when she heard this. Didn’t they say they would leave tomorrow?
But looking at the eldest princess's expression, she didn't dare to refute.
Li Qiaojing was soon secretly sent out from the back door of the mansion.
Time passed slowly, and the eldest princess sat in her original position without moving.
It was not until a maid came quickly that she slowly raised her cold and beautiful face.
The maid in green walked straight up to her, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, Miss Li is dead."
The princess' grip on the cup tightened upon hearing this, then relaxed and asked coldly, "How did he die?"
The maid said lightly, "The carriage overturned and his neck was broken on the spot."
The princess paused for a moment, then slowly said, "I know this: anyone whom Governor Ning wants to kill never survives!"
The maid looked at her princess with disdain and said, "Master Du is such a person that he not only left everyone but also wanted to kill Li Qiaojing afterwards."
The princess slowly raised her eyes, "Yes, so, it must be Li Qiaojing who did something to make him unhappy. But Li Qiaojing clearly said that she didn't even say a word to the other party..."
The maid was even more puzzled after hearing this. The eldest princess didn't say anything else. After drinking a sip of fragrant tea, she gave a light order, "Go and check the identity of the woman who accompanied the governor today."
