Chapter 273: The Minister Wants to Report Qiao Wanyan for Taking Human Life
When Jingyuan took Xiaoying out of the yard and planned to kill her, he saw a figure who should have left long ago.
"Why are you here? Didn't you leave?"
Inside the manor, He Zhiyu and Jiang Qiyunye also walked out one after another. Seeing that Lu Jinye had not left yet, they were a little surprised.
He glanced out of the corner of his eye but didn't see Qiao Wanyan's carriage, so he knew that he was the only one waiting here.
Lu Jinye lowered his eyes and glanced at Xiaoying, who was so frightened that she couldn't even stand. "I was going to go back with her, but she seemed to be in a bad mood and left me behind."
Lu Jinye emphasized the four words "bad mood".
"Your Highness, are you going to kill Xiaoying?"
He Zhiyu did not respond, as if he was too disdainful to answer his question.
Jing Yuan said in a deep voice: "Xiaoying is a traitor who doesn't know the rules. Do you want to stop His Highness from punishing him?"
Lu Jinye smiled and said, "Your Highness is a noble crown prince. How dare I stop you?"
He paused and continued, "It's just that Xiaoying has always been disrespectful to my master. If Xiaoying can let my master personally deal with the grievances that have accumulated for many years, she will definitely be happy and know your Highness's friendship."
He Zhiyu's eyes moved slightly.
Lu Jinye added: "Little girls are actually the easiest to coax. Xiaoying has been alive only because Your Highness protects the eldest lady. If Xiaoying can be in the hands of my master this time, she will definitely know Your Highness's intentions."
Jiang Qiyun lowered his eyes. Is this bitch trying to bring the Crown Prince and Qiao Wanyan together? !
He Zhiyu said in a deep voice: "I am the crown prince, what are my intentions? I only punish Xiaoying because I cannot bear to see the evil slave being arrogant, but what you said makes sense. Xiaoying is a maid of the Shangshu Mansion, so it is naturally the safest to let the Shangshu Mansion deal with her."
Lu Jinye laughed and said, "Your Highness is right. I was wrong."
He Zhiyu glanced at Jingyuan and saw that Jingyuan gave Xiaoying to Lu Jinye.
After the prince and his entourage left, Jiang Qiyun stood there and looked coldly at Lu Jinye's annoying face.
"What's your plan?"
The prince believed him, but he was too smart to trust a bitch like Lu Jinye!
He definitely has bad intentions!
Lu Jinye glanced at him miserly and sneered, "Young Marquis, why don't you go find some medicine to apply on your face? It's really... ugly!"
"You are ugly!" Jiang Qiyun cursed, "I am handsome and elegant, I am not ugly at all!"
This is not because Jiang Qiyun is blindly confident. Jiang Qiyun is born good-looking, and there is nothing wrong with his appearance, whether it is his bones or skin.
But at this moment, the slap mark on her face was clear and obvious. Qiao Wanyan's slap was not that painful because she had little strength. She also knew that it didn't hurt much, but it was a humiliation.
So at this moment, it was purely because Jiang Qiyun's skin was too white that the slap marks appeared extremely obvious.
It’s not ugly, but it’s not.
Looking closely at that annoyed look, it actually added a few points for no reason...
Delicate, but not effeminate.
I believe that if Li Hansong were here at this moment, he would definitely call him a beauty.
After all, the young marquis of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion is arrogant and conceited in everything he does, even his clothes are red brocade robes.
Lu Jinye was too lazy to pay attention to him as he had important things to do at the moment.
In the carriage, He Zhiyu opened the window and ordered, "Send someone to find the son of Yunjian Yansi's shopkeeper, and bring him to me when he is found."
Jing Yuan nodded slightly, "Yes, Your Highness."
Suddenly there was a noise in the distance, and Jing Yuan saw a young woman stumbling towards him, with six or seven men chasing her.
"Master! Master, please save me!"
Qiao Chuxue grabbed Jingyuan's clothes tightly and cried for help.
She thought about it all night at home and decided to kill Yu Lang with her own hands. Even if he had many pasts and mistakes, he was the first and last man she would fall in love with in her life.
She was the one who sent Yulang to his death, so how could she survive alone?
She wanted to go to the government office and tell everyone everything, including Qiao Wanyan's evil deeds. At worst, both of them would perish together and be buried with Yu Lang.
However, the servants in the house tried to stop him and insisted on sending him to the countryside.
She was not afraid of hardship if she was with Yulang, but she would rather die than live alone in that remote and poor place for the rest of her life.
When the servants behind him ran over, they saw the lantern on the carriage and immediately knelt on the ground, too frightened to move.
Jing Yuan said in a deep voice: "The one in the carriage is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Just tell me what you want to say. Don't get excited and make noise and disturb His Royal Highness."
Qiao Chuxue was stunned for a moment. Prince?
She cried with joy, "Your Highness! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Qiao Chuxue walked to the side of the carriage and knelt down, "Your Highness, please save me. I am Qiao Chuxue, the daughter of the second branch of the Qiao family. I wanted to go to the government office to expose a murder case, but was stopped by these lowly slaves and was forcibly detained in the countryside!"
Jing Yuan frowned, "Murder? What murder?"
Qiao Chuxue said clearly, "I want to sue the second daughter of the Shangshu Mansion for taking human lives lightly and forcing me to kill innocent people!"
The window of the carriage was opened, and He Zhiyu's cold and indifferent gaze fell on her.
"The second daughter of the Shangshu Mansion? Tell me who she forced you to kill?"
Qiao Chuxue said bluntly: "The son of the shopkeeper Yan Si of Yunjian, Zhou Yu."
It was simply a blessing from heaven, no, it was because Yulang could not rest in peace in his afterlife that he was able to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here.
This is more useful than going to the government office. At least the government office will suppress the matter for the sake of Minister Qiao's face, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will never do that!
He Zhiyu rubbed the ring on his hand, "Is the person dead?"
Qiao Chuxue responded, "Yes, Your Highness, please understand! I am willing to sue in court, because I cannot bear to see that there are still people in the capital who dare to take human lives so lightly!"
He Zhiyu was silent for a moment, and Qiao Chuxue felt a little uneasy.
She had heard before that the prince liked Qiao Yihuan. Now, would he ignore this matter for fear of damaging the Qiao family's reputation because of Qiao Yihuan?
"Your Highness, the second daughter of the Qiao family is arrogant and domineering, and she used to be disrespectful to her elder sister and bully the servants in the mansion. Please, Your Highness, be fair and let her get the punishment she deserves!"
He Zhiyu looked at her with half-closed eyes, his cold gaze seemed to pierce through her.
"Get in the car."
Qiao Chuxue was delighted, "Yes, thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!"
Jing Yuan glanced at the servants in the distance and asked, "Your Highness, what should we do with those servants?"
Tsuru Zhiyu glanced at him but said nothing. Jingyuan lowered his head slightly and watched the carriage leave.
The carriage went farther and farther away. Jing Yuan got off the horse, drew the long sword at his waist and walked towards the group of servants.
Blood was all over the floor.
Jing Yuan kicked the horse's belly and chased after him. The difference from before was that this time there were a few more purses in his arms.
