Chapter 165 Call Husband and Listen

Jiang Jiu was grabbed by Zhao Zhuoxi around the waist and fell directly onto the bed.

Before he could get up, Zhao Zhuoxi approached him.

Jiang Jiu's eyes widened in fear: "You, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Zhuoxi suddenly covered her mouth.

"Like, really, your eyes are especially like hers..."

Jiang Jiu also admitted that she did look very similar to the original owner Su Man.

"I checked. You were also born on September 9, the same day as Jiang Jiu. Maybe Xiao Jiu chose you. Who knows, there really is a connection between you two."

Zhao Zhuoxi tried hard to pull the woman in front of him towards Jiang Jiu, trying to convince himself.

Jiang Jiu also thought about it before. The original owner, Su Man, had the same birthday as her and they looked somewhat similar. Could it be that this was the reason why he traveled through time and space into her body?

Seeing Zhao Zhuoxi's tangled look, Jiang Jiu, who had originally planned to have sex with Zhao Zhuoxi, pushed him away forcefully.

"If you feel uncomfortable, forget it. I don't want to force you."

Zhao Zhuoxi struggled for a while, but finally gave up.

He couldn't close his eyes. Although he felt that the woman in front of him was Jiang Jiu, she looked different from Jiang Jiu and he couldn't convince himself.

"I'm sorry, I...I...you are still the princess in the palace, but...I..."

Jiang Jiu sat up from the bed, straightened his clothes, and felt satisfied with Zhao Zhuoxi's attitude, yet also indescribably disappointed.

"I understand...Okay, there's someone outside. It must be Lu Ming who has returned. Go out. You will have a hard time sleeping in the future..."

Well, just kick Zhao Zhuoxi out of bed.

Well, this is indeed Jiang Jiu's style.

Never put yourself in a difficult position.

Lu Ming was just about to leave when he heard footsteps and waited there obediently.

The door opened with a creaky sound, and Zhao Zhuoxi walked out.

Lu Minghui reported the action just now.

Zhao Zhuoxi frowned after hearing this: "Not a big deal? He just killed someone, and the person who instructed him was not punished..."

"Go and get Chen's daughter, Qin Qing, into his room... It would be best to make it look like a murder of passion, so that the Ministry of Justice won't suspect someone else."

Lu Ming went out again...

The next day, early in the morning, Chen packed her things and planned to take Qin Qing back to the palace.

However, when I arrived at the yard, I found it was quiet.

I don't know where the maids and old women have gone.

She was so angry that her eyes widened and she shouted angrily: "Where are the dead people? Where is the young lady?"

Soon, all the maids and servants in the yard ran back from everywhere trembling with fear.

"Madam, the young lady is missing. Where is she?"

"How is that possible? Where can Qing'er go so early in the morning? Hurry up and find her for me."

An elderly nanny was shaking with nervousness.

"I have searched the whole house, but I wonder where the young lady has gone?"

Chen shouted, "If you still can't find it, I will beat you all to death."

How could they find it?

Just when people in the mansion were in a hurry, they saw Qin Qing running back from outside in a daze with his hair disheveled, his clothes in disarray, and blood on his body.

"Mother, help, help, it's bad, Second Master Mei, Second Master Mei is dead..."

However, what followed were the runners from the Ministry of Justice.

As soon as Qin Qing entered the room, the officers from the Ministry of Justice arrested her.

"Madam, I'm sorry, Mr. Mei was murdered. We suspect she is the murderer and we must take her back for questioning..."

By the time Chen reacted, Qin Qing had already been taken away.

Chen was frightened and panicked, and stumbled straight to Old Madam Qin's yard.

"Dad, Mom, something bad has happened to Qing'er..."

"What? Qing'er killed someone? Wasn't she in her room last night? How did she end up in Mr. Mei's house?"

It was not only Madam Qin's doubts, but also the doubts of the crowd in the capital.

Soon, gossip about Qin Qing and Mr. Mei appeared in every corner of the capital.

Some people said that it was the Second Master Mei who fell in love with Qin Qing at the banquet hosted by Old Lady Qin and abducted her in the middle of the night. Miss Qin disagreed and killed him.

This is the kinder version.

A more vicious version is that Qin Qing had a secret meeting with the Second Master Mei, was discovered, and then killed the Second Master Mei.

Anyway, no matter which version it is, Qin Qing's reputation is ruined.

Qin Yuan ordered the Ministry of Justice to close the case quickly. How could the weak Qin Qing be the murderer of the second son of the Mei family?

The Ministry of Justice was also in a dilemma. The second son of the Mei family had died, and the Mei family was also pursuing responsibility and looking for the murderer.

But if the murderer wasn't Qin Qing, who could it be?

If the murderer cannot be found, the Ministry of Justice will not be able to release him...

The case remains at a stalemate.

Chen and Qin Qing no longer had any interest in the matter and moved into Prince Qi's mansion.

The Prince Qi's mansion was finally quiet for a while.

After all, Qin Qing is Qin Yuan's granddaughter. If the Ministry of Justice cannot find the murderer, they have to release her.

Chen thought over and over again, wondering who would harm Qin Qing, and finally set her sights on the Princess of Qi.

"Who would harm Qing'er? I can't think of anyone other than her."

Qin Qing's maid said, "But she has no ability to steal the person out of our house in the middle of the night."

Chen gritted her teeth and said, "The only way now is to kill her so that Qing'er can become the real Princess of Qi..."

The Prince of Qi's mansion had been quiet for only a few days when Chen came again with Qin Qing, who had just been released from prison.

Although Zhao Zhuoxi woke up, people outside didn't know.

Chen wanted to move in to take care of Prince Qi, and Jiang Jiu couldn't stop her.

But no one expected that that night, Chen would actually take action against Jiang Jiu.

At midnight, suddenly, someone in the palace shouted, "There's a fire! There's a fire!"

Jiang Jiu hurried to look and saw thick smoke in the sky above the northwest corner of the palace.

"Hurry, put out the fire..."

All of a sudden, the maids, servants, and guards in the palace went to put out the fire.

Jiang Jiu actually planned to put out the fire, but was persuaded by the maid.

"Princess, it's dangerous. Don't go out. Let's go and take a look..."

Chunhua and the others are gone.

There was no one else in Jiang Jiu and Zhao Zhuoxi's room.

Just as Jiang Jiu turned around and prepared to go back to the house, suddenly, a man in black jumped down from the roof, holding a long sword in his hand, and was ready to stab Jiang Jiu.

It happened in a flash. Zhao Zhuoxi rushed out of the house, held Jiang Jiu in his arms, and kicked the assassin away with his long legs.

Three shadow guards from the mansion jumped down and tied up the assassin.

Zhao Zhuoxi walked out of the house with his head held high.

"Tell me, who sent you to assassinate the princess..."

When the assassin saw that he was captured, he had already bitten the poison in his back teeth and spurted out a mouthful of black blood. He was already dead.

Jiang Jiu was so frightened that he was shivering even as he was held in Zhao Zhuoxi's arms.

"I haven't offended anyone, who would kill me?"

Zhao Zhuoxi narrowed his eyes slightly: "We will definitely find out."

When the first plan failed, Chen came up with another one.

But she didn't expect that even if Zhao Zhuoxi was unconscious, there were guards in the palace to protect Suman.

As expected, she is the princess of Prince Qi's Palace. Once she enters the palace, she can enjoy the same treatment as the prince.

Chen was so anxious that she actually thought of a desperate measure.
