"This humble woman, Lu Ni (Jiang Hong), greets Princess Xin Xin. May the princess be blessed!" Lu Ni and Jiang Hong gritted their teeth in anger, but this was indeed her true identity.
On New Year's Eve, when I won money from them, I was all smiles and calling them "sister" this and "sister" that. Now you're using your princess status to intimidate me, huh?
They completely forgot that on New Year's Eve, they wanted to win Gu Xin's money and embarrass her.
"No need for such formalities!" Gu Xin said.
Lu Ni and Jiang Hong: "..."
Why are you acting like a princess when there's no need for such formalities?
“Miss Lu, Miss Jiang, don’t worry. As for Miss Li, she won’t reveal why you were together yesterday or the purpose of your meeting here today. However…”
"Princess Xin Xin, we didn't... why..."
“Miss Lu’s upbringing makes me hesitate! Is this how the Zhenguo Duke’s family is raised? Is the Zhenguo Duke’s heir truly a suitable match?” Gu Xin was interrupted by Lu Ni and looked at her sarcastically. “Fortunately, the heir of the Zhenguo Duke’s family didn’t grow up in the Zhenguo Duke’s mansion. Now that I’ve been betrothed to the heir of the Zhenguo Duke’s family by the Emperor, the upbringing of the young ladies in my household will be my responsibility. Miss Lu, don’t worry, this princess will teach you all how to behave properly. The first point, I’ve already taught you, is not to interrupt others when they’re speaking. It’s very impolite and shows a lack of manners.”
Lu Ni's face turned red, but she still didn't know how to refute it.
With the air of an elder sister-in-law, Gu Xin looked sternly at Lu Ni: "Miss Lu, do you understand what I mean? Do you need me to repeat myself?"
Lu Ni said angrily, "I understand."
Gu Xin smiled and continued, "What's going on with you three? Although everyone wants to know, we can't force you to say if you don't want to. But Miss Li, I have a piece of advice for you: you shouldn't keep these two close friends."
Li Yuyan nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with tears.
She even felt ashamed for having previously spoken ill of Gu Xin along with Lu Ni and Jiang Hong.
Princess Xin Xin saw her holding the murder weapon with her own eyes, but she was willing to believe that she was not the murderer and even helped her find evidence, which led to the discovery of other suspects.
Princess Xin Xin is a good person, an honest person, and an upright person.
And what about the two she considered her best friends? Fearing their affair would be exposed, they actually denied that they had made an appointment. If Princess Xinxin hadn't found the evidence, wouldn't she have been arrested by Constable Gao and taken back to the yamen?
When Jiang Hong arrived, she asked her why she killed Xiao Cui.
Oh……
Li Yuyan seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, although seeing her friend's true colors made her very upset.
Lu Ni frowned: "Princess Xin Xin, although you are a princess, you shouldn't say things carelessly, and don't accuse others of things without reason. Our Great Zhou has laws, and princes are subject to the same laws as commoners."
Gu Xin smiled and said, "Miss Lu, as I just said, I, Gu Xin, am not only the third daughter of the Gu family, but also the Princess Protector of the Nation, and of course, your future sister-in-law. What benefit would it bring me to frame you, my sister-in-law, with a fabricated charge? Why would I, a princess protector of the nation, frame a mere commoner like you? By the way, speaking of commoners, I just remembered, I am the first wife's legitimate daughter-in-law, and you are the daughter of the second wife. What right do you have to make me frame you? Is it because the second wife abused the children of the first wife, and I, the daughter-in-law, want revenge?"
