Chapter 66: Silencing the Witness
Pei Wanqing didn't care what the princess said to her.
This old woman, who has been acting recklessly due to the favor of the late emperor, has always been so rude in her words.
However, she didn't expect His Highness to speak out in her defense...
Thinking of this, Pei Wanqing felt a surge of sweetness and joy in her heart.
This is the first time since her rebirth that His Highness has been so protective of her. It turns out that everything will be different when they get married!
This time, Pu Qiongzhi became a suspect and a prisoner, and she was the savior!
Ding Momo, who was standing aside, stared at Gongsun Ying with eyes full of admiration.
She felt that her words had been harsh and direct enough.
Unexpectedly, the eldest princess was even better! If her father hadn't been watching, she would have wanted to cheer for the eldest princess and bow to her again.
This was even thrown directly in the face of the Ninth Prince, scolding him for being fickle!
Sure enough, such words would be more effective only if spoken by someone of the status of the eldest princess.
…
Pu Qiongzhi looked back at the door, but Mu Jicui did not show up.
That day, she arranged for Mu Jicui to go back and handle this part of the matter.
Just in case, Chunjing went along too.
She didn't know what Mu Jicui was like, but Chunjing was the most reliable.
"Mrs. Wen Shu, what explanation do you have for this? Where is Xiao Xingzi now?" Di Jin followed up on this question.
Pu Qiongzhi answered honestly, "Your Excellency, when I heard about the incident, I asked my family to sort out the whole story and collect the evidence and send it to the capital."
"However, we haven't heard from them yet... Please allow some time."
Hearing her say this, a look of pride flashed across Pei Wanqing's face.
Nangong Hua saw this smug smile.
He thought to himself that this was not good.
When he arrived in Lin'an that day, Xiao Xingzi had already been arranged to leave for Beijing.
Logically speaking, such a quick solution should have arrived long ago. Why is there still no news?
Could it be that Pei Wanqing arranged someone to kill people to silence them?
Di Jin did not directly answer Pu Qiongzhi's question, but started the next round of questioning.
"The interrogation office found out that the Pu family has indeed been suppressing their peers recently. Among them are an old and dilapidated small boat shop and the Chaoxia Cloth Shop."
"...Do you know anything about this?"
At this time, two figures slowly walked in from the door.
Upon closer inspection, they saw that both of them were injured and their faces looked extremely ugly.
It’s Mu Jicui and Chunjing!
Pu Qiongzhi couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and walked towards the door. "Chun Jing! What happened to you two?"
"What happened?" She took a few steps forward to support the staggering Mu Jicui, then looked at Chunjing's injuries and gasped.
"Madam..." Chun Jing just opened his mouth and his wound was affected.
Blood gushed out, making her face even uglier.
The already hoarse voice crying out in pain made people even more distressed.
Pu Qiongzhi felt really distressed and asked Di Jin, "Sir, can you arrange for a doctor to come?"
"Okay, call the doctor." Di Jin waved his hand and called out.
When cases are heard in court, there are often doctors waiting on duty, who can often play an important role in the trial process.
But they were both women after all, and it would be inconvenient for them to appear in court, so the doctor could only simply stop the bleeding for them first.
"Madam, the two of us wanted to take Xiao Xingzi to the capital, but we were ambushed by bandits on the way... Xiao Xingzi was killed."
"Xiao Xingzi...she was just a child, how could she be so pitiful. However, it's a blessing that you two were able to escape death." Pu Qiongzhi saw that the two could not hide their guilt and hurriedly comforted them.
The two of them looked so miserable that one could imagine how horrible the scene was.
How could Pu Qiongzhi blame these two people anymore?
However, now the key witness was silenced and died at the hands of the Pu family. The situation was very unfavorable for them.
Pu Qiongzhi turned around suddenly, and her cold gaze fell on Pei Wanqing.
————The following draft is scrapped and will be added immediately
I stood at the door and listened to my brother talking nonsense in the live broadcast room. I just thought it was ridiculous.
He looked so fat from eating so much, and now he was slumped on the sofa, like a toad.
He has only been studying for a few years, but he has done a lot of bad things.
Now that he has become an expert, I don’t know what it means to watch his live broadcast.
Compared to me, I don’t know who is benefiting from the new era——
Xi broke free and became a star, breaking into the entertainment industry and becoming famous overnight.
Now, my uneducated and useless brother has started live streaming, and he is making a fortune by stepping on my spine and attracting attention.
He makes some small profits by slandering me and deceiving the public.
However, his words are always inconsistent and full of loopholes.
Everyone was skeptical and didn't really buy it.

Ever since I came into the public eye and became a household name, my parents' faces immediately became more amiable.
They were both very smart and made a lot of money.
The younger brother who was once pampered by them has become secondary.
Therefore, he only dared to complain about these things in the live broadcast room.
In front of me, he is more fawning and servile than anyone else.
After all, I can just snap my fingers and the company's public relations team can take him down.
Han Xin ambushed Xiang Yu from all sides, yet he still had a glimmer of hope. I didn't want to push him to the edge.
I can allow them to make money in my name, but I have cut off all ties with them long ago and will not give them a penny.
But unexpectedly, this stupid dog actually believed his own words...
Before filming of a malicious and attention-grabbing variety show began, we both got into a car accident.
When I opened my eyes again, I found that we had traveled back to ancient times together.

Watching his emotions change from confusion, to ecstasy, and then to arrogance, I felt sick.
【But I just don't care about you, let's see what you can do! 】
I looked at him, who seemed to only care about food and not beatings, and walked towards the town ahead without looking back.
Yun Yaozu has been like this since he was little. It's better to rely on a pig than to rely on him.
When I was in elementary school, he couldn’t beat me in playing games outside, so when he came home, he would force me to play with him even though I was about to take my final exams.
When I beat him in the 30th game, he cried and asked his parents to beat me.
In junior high school, when I failed to pursue a girl, I forced her and was beaten to a pulp by her brother.
I was forced to transfer from a key high school to a vocational high school affiliated with his junior high school, so that he would not be persuaded to drop out.
In high school, he borrowed money from everywhere to do business in shoe speculation, but was cheated out of everything by his bad friends.
I owed a large sum of money, and my parents were determined to marry me, a trainee, to an older man and asked for a dowry.
Later, I found out that the old man was just trying to be brave, so I told them that he was a liar who wanted to get something for nothing, and then I gave up.
At this point, I have completely given up on these three people.
