Chapter 1129: Public
However, when she saw Xiao Zhan's stern face and the upstart lady leaning against him, she found that she couldn't speak at all.
"Forget it, why bother myself?" Jiang Xue laughed at herself, turned around silently, and walked in the opposite direction.
The sky over Shanghe Town had suddenly become gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if a heavy rain would fall at any moment.
The depressing atmosphere made Jiang Xue almost unable to breathe.
"I've had enough..." She murmured softly, wanting to escape from this suffocating place.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind: "Xiaoxue..."
Xiao Zhan's gaze passed through the crowd and immediately locked onto the familiar slender figure.
He wanted to call her and explain everything, but the upstart lady next to him held his arm tightly and said something in a coquettish voice.
Xiao Zhan frowned impatiently, but his eyes followed Jiang Xue's receding back, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.
Tsk, this Shura field is really a headache.
The upstart lady saw it all and a smug smile appeared on her lips. She just wanted Jiang Xue to misunderstand and make her retreat.
The air around them seemed to become heavy in an instant. Jiang Xue endured the severe pain in her heart, took a deep breath, and kept saying to herself in her heart: "Don't be angry, there are still many important things waiting for me to do."
She refocused her attention on investigating the affairs of Shanghe Town.
Her hard work paid off, and she finally found a clue in the account book of the richest man in Shanghe Town.
The account book records a huge transaction, and the transaction object is a mysterious organization, and this organization is the mastermind that she has been investigating!
Good boy, she finally caught him!
Jiang Xue immediately made a copy of the account book and used this transaction as a bargaining chip to counterattack the richest man in Shanghe Town.
"Mr. Richest Man, the contents of your account book seem to be quite interesting."
Jiang Xue looked at the pale-faced richest man in Shanghe Town with a half-smile, feeling secretly happy.
She wanted to see how he could jump around.
The panic of the richest man in Shanghe Town caused a subtle change in the originally tense atmosphere in Shanghe Town.
The onlookers all said: It’s going to be a good show!
Although some progress has been made in Shanghe Town, the misunderstanding between Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan is snowballing.
She didn't know how to explain it all, let alone how to face Xiao Zhan.
Alas, this tangled and complicated emotional entanglement is really exhausting.
The allies seemed to be on good terms with each other, but the enemies were eyeing them covetously. Jiang Xue looked into the distance at Shanghe Town, her heart filled with worries about the future.
She clutched the account book tightly in her hand, turned around and walked away quickly, leaving only a whisper: "It's time to go back..."
The discovery of Shanghe Town was like lighting a torch in Jiang Xue's heart. A determined light flashed in Jiang Xue's eyes, dispelling the anxiety and confusion in her heart.
She clenched the account book in her hand, as it was the key to turning the tide.
Now she wished she could return to the military camp on the border the next moment and make this hard-earned evidence public.
Jiang Xue rode at full speed and returned to the military camp, exhausted. The flags of the camp fluttered in the strong wind, as if welcoming her return, but also as if foreshadowing the coming storm.
Jiang Xue couldn't hide her excitement. She walked quickly into the barracks and handed the account book to the border general: "General, I found evidence!"
In the account book, the huge transaction and the name of the mysterious organization were clearly visible, as if silently telling the conspiracy of the mastermind behind the scenes.
However, the border general's reaction was beyond her expectations.
He just flipped through a few pages and threw the account book back on the table, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Princess, what do you want to prove with just a book? This is too childish."
The general's questioning voice was like a blow to the head, and Jiang Xue's heart sank instantly.
The military camp was already filled with a tense atmosphere, which was made even worse by now.
The whispering voices of the soldiers around her reached her ears, like countless needles piercing her heart, causing her to feel a sharp pain.
"General, every transaction in this account book is well documented, and..."
Jiang Xue tried hard to suppress her anxiety and tried to explain.
"That's enough!" the general interrupted her impatiently:
"Your Highness, I know you have good intentions, but this matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. Without solid evidence, I will never trust anyone!"
Jiang Xue's face turned pale, and she felt a sense of powerlessness rising in her heart.
Were all her efforts in vain?
At this moment, a sarcastic voice came from outside the tent: "Hey, isn't this our princess? What's wrong? What tricks are you playing again?"
The family elder walked in with a contemptuous smile on his face, as if he had predicted Jiang Xue's failure.
"Oh, who did I think it was? Isn't this our golden phoenix that has flown to the treetops? What new tricks have you come up with to win sympathy?"
He spoke in a sarcastic tone, his voice full of sarcasm.
Jiang Xue felt a surge of anger rushing to her head, but she tried to control her emotions and said word by word: "Elder, I found evidence that can prove the innocence of the border general."
"Evidence? Just you?"
The elder snorted disdainfully: "You are a girl who never leaves the house, what do you know about evidence? I think you are just making trouble on purpose, trying to alienate the relationship between us and the general!"
"I……"
Jiang Xue wanted to explain, but was interrupted rudely by the elder:
"That's enough! Stop pretending here! Who do you think you are? You're just a substitute bride, and you dare to give orders here!"
Every word from the elders was like a sharp knife, stabbing Jiang Xue's heart.
She felt it was becoming difficult to breathe and her vision went dark.
The soldiers around him also began to talk about it.
The feeling of despair surged like a tide, almost drowning her.
Just then, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the tent.
It’s Xiao Zhan.
He was dressed in a dark robe, had a stern face, eyes as deep as the night sky, and exuded a chill that made people dare not approach him.
His appearance instantly quieted the originally noisy tent, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
Jiang Xue's heart sank suddenly.
Did he still not believe her?
The coldness in his eyes pierced her heart like an icicle.
The air around seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.
Xiao Zhan slowly walked up to Jiang Xue, his eyes lingering on the account book in her hand for a moment, and then he said coldly: "Is this the evidence you mentioned?"
Jiang Xue took a deep breath, facing Xiao Zhan's scrutinizing gaze, and said firmly: "Master Prime Minister, I guarantee with my life that this account book is real! I saw it with my own eyes in Shanghe Town, they..."
