Chapter 182: Estrangement
Zhao Zhuoxi came out to testify, and the maid beside Qin Qing knelt down with a plop.
"Please forgive me, my Lord. Yes, it was the Second Madam who ordered me to do this. When the young lady fell into the water, I wanted to go into the lake to save her, but I was pushed to the back by others, and that young master jumped faster than me..."
When Mrs. Qin Er heard this, she was completely shocked.
"Who, tell me who told you to do this, you scoundrel, take me down here and give me forty lashes of the cane..."
Jiang Jiu snorted coldly: "Second Madam, you should take Miss Qin back to change her clothes. She is so delicate and weak, don't let her get sick."
Qin Qing was already crying and gasping for breath...
Jiang Jiu slowly came to Zhao Zhuoxi's side and snorted coldly: "The concubine hasn't even entered the house yet, but there are so many tricks. It's really shocking..."
After saying that, Jiang Jiu just left in a daze.
Zhao Zhuoxi frowned unhappily: "Grandfather, grandmother, my princess is unhappy, so this marriage is over. I will help that prince and
Love your sister..."
As he said this, he went after his princess.
Princess Zhaoyang didn't say a word from beginning to end.
However, she was very satisfied with the result at this time.
He smiled sarcastically at Master Qin: "You are lifting a rock and dropping it on your own feet. The granddaughter you taught is really good. She is so kind to others. You have wasted your whole life."
After saying that, she left leisurely with Su Rui.
The Qin family's marriage was called off, and Qin Qing cried, made a fuss, and even hanged himself at home.
Little did they know that Zhao Zhuoxi was making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. While everyone was watching Qin's retreat, he sent someone to find the letters between Qin's Grand Secretary and Zhao Zhuoran.
Sure enough, it was Zhao Zhuoran's idea to have Jiang Jiu resurrect through a corpse.
They wanted to attack Zhao Zhuoxi, and they also wanted the artillery developed by Jiang Jiu.
Although Mr. Qin was Zhao Zhuoxi's maternal grandfather, he had always kept a low profile and secretly supported Zhao Zhuoran.
Zhao Zhuoran is the Six-Fingered Cripple King, but he just has one extra finger.
Everything else, whether talent or appearance, is first-rate.
He was really unwilling to be abandoned like this. In fact, he looked down on the emperor, but he could not resist the support of the empress and Prime Minister Zhou.
Zhao Zhuoran also found a backer for himself.
Jiang Jiu couldn't understand: "Master Qin is obviously your grandfather, why does he side with others..."
Zhao Zhuoxi didn't know, nor did he want to know. After returning home, he sent someone to the Qin family to cancel the engagement.
Jiang Jiu was still unhappy: "There is also the Su family..."
Zhao Zhuoxi hugged Jiang Jiu and said, "Don't worry, we haven't found all the evidence yet."
In the teahouse, Su Rui was anxiously waiting for her lover, feeling very nervous.
At the banquet, she felt jealous and crazy when she saw everyone treating her fake daughter like a star.
She stared at Suman intently. She never expected that the relationship between King Qi and her would be restored so quickly.
A few days ago, she sent someone to inquire about it, and it was said that Suman and King Qi had a quarrel and were under house arrest. But today, she looked full of energy.
Prince Qi is so handsome, she wants to marry him, even if only as a concubine.
Now that the mission is accomplished, she is looking forward to the prince's praise.
From a distance, the prince was riding towards us.
He wore a dark green cape and a red robe today, and his tall figure looked even more noble.
I thought the prince was coming to meet her in the teahouse.
Who knew that when the prince rode up to the carriage, he saw a small head sticking out of the window. It could be none other than Suman.
I don't know what the two of them talked about. The prince chuckled, and the group actually passed by the teahouse without even stopping.
Su Rui felt sad and got up and left angrily.
In fact, Jiang Jiu had already seen Su Rui's face when he was in the carriage.
This teahouse was opened by a small boat. If you ask around, you will know that Zhao Zhuoxi and Su Rui were having a secret meeting here.
She really doesn't know the rules. If an unmarried girl has a secret meeting with a man, she will be thrown into a pig cage if she is caught.
Jiang Jiu opened the car curtain and said to Zhao Zhuoxi coquettishly: "I don't want to eat moon cakes tonight, I want to eat hot pot..."
Zhao Zhuoxi chuckled: "There is no hot pot in Beijing. Let them buy the ingredients and cook it at home in the evening."
Zhao Zhuoxi was completely obedient to Jiang Jiu and had long forgotten about Su Rui.
After returning home and having dinner, Jiang Jiu felt extremely sleepy.
I forced myself to take a shower, and just as I was about to go to bed, Zhao Zhuoxi pulled me into his arms.
"Your hair isn't dry yet. You'll get a headache if you sleep like this..."
Jiang Jiu rubbed his eyes: "But I'm so sleepy today..."
Zhao Zhuoxi coaxed Jiang Jiu: "Then you lie down on the couch, I'll have someone light a fire and roast your hair dry before you go to sleep."
Jiang Jiu didn't comment. When Zhao Zhuoxi finished drying her hair carefully, he found that she had fallen asleep.
Zhao Zhuoxi pinched Jiang Jiu's face, covered her with the quilt, then got up quickly and went to the yard.
"Are you all ready?"
Lu Ming nodded: "Ready..."
"Where are the people?"
Lu Ming: "He is unconscious in a ruined temple outside the capital. People from the Su Mansion have been notified. When the time comes, the prince only needs to show up at the right time and kill the prisoner..."
The group left the house and soon arrived at the outskirts of the capital. Not long after they walked, they heard the sound of fighting.
Lu Ming immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Who are these people? They are actually using swords and knives in the capital. Come on, arrest them all."
Zhao Zhuoxi rode his horse to the outside of the ruined temple and saw Princess Zhaoyang hiding in fear inside the temple, being protected by the maids and old women around her.
And Su Rui in her arms had not a single piece of clothing left intact, and it was obvious that she had been ravaged.
"Aunt, I was late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me. I wonder what happened to you?"
Zhao Zhuoxi saw everything, and Princess Zhaoyang gritted her teeth.
"It must be that old guy from Qin Yuan. His own granddaughter couldn't get married, and he wouldn't let my granddaughter get married either. He had someone kidnap my granddaughter. Fortunately, this princess arrived in time..."
In time?
Zhao Zhuoxi pretended that he saw nothing and knew nothing.
After catching those people, they brought the death row prisoner over.
The prisoner refused to reveal who ordered the murder until his death, and was eventually killed by Lu Ming.
I don't know why it was Master Qin's idea to kill Princess Zhaoyang.
Zhao Zhuoxi was more righteous at this time, and said to Princess Zhaoyang: "Aunt, I will keep this matter a secret, and I will not cancel this marriage."
Princess Zhaoyang's eyes sparkled and she looked at Zhao Zhuoxi with gratitude.
"They all say that you have a violent personality, but I know you are definitely not like that. You were very kind and sensible when you were a child. As expected, my brother raised a good son."
On the way back, Lu Ming was a little confused.
"Master, why do you want to continue marrying Su Rui? Aren't we doing this because we don't want the princess to be angry and we don't want to marry a concubine?"
Zhao Zhuoxi smiled evilly: "If we don't do this, how can we make Princess Zhaoyang and Lord Qin turn against each other..."
It turned out to be just a divisive plot.
Lu Ming got another piece of news: "Master, Prince Ling is about to return in triumph..."
