"Your Highness, you don't know this, but my son and I resorted to this desperate measure precisely to save our lives." Xie Jian's tone remained cold and indifferent. "If it weren't for this confession fingerprint, Your Highness would have already decided to kill me, right?"
Princess Ning narrowed her eyes and looked at the young man.
This was what Shen Heng disliked most about the ancient times: when necessary, the powerful could sacrifice the lives of others. She watched how Xie Jian handled it.
Xie Jian took out a stack of confessions from his arms: "All the confessions are here. As long as the princess can control Miss Tudi, I can destroy these on the spot."
"I will discipline my daughter myself." Princess Ning suppressed her anger.
"Then I'll take it that the princess has agreed." Xie Jian took out a fire starter from his arms and handed it to the nanny who came to take it along with the confession letters.
Princess Ning took it and saw the handprints one by one. Her hands were shaking with anger. Only after she saw the nanny burn them all did she breathe a sigh of relief. She glared at the three people from the Xie family and said, "Xie Jian, if you dare to leak this matter, you know the consequences."
"What the princess should worry about is whether the legitimate daughter will do something stupid again in the future." Xie Jian's eyes were sharp.
Chen Heng looked at Xie Jian's boldness in surprise. Was he so confident?
Speaking of her daughter, Princess Ning's face darkened. She could no longer sit still and stood up to leave.
Mei'er originally thought that she was done with her affairs, but she didn't expect the old nanny beside her to come and pull her away. She called out to her fearfully, "Madam Shen, please save me. Thank you, my husband... Um, uh."
Before she could finish, a maid stuffed her mouth and dragged her away.
Nanny Feng followed closely behind to see the person off.
"Aheng, Ajian, what's going on?" Xia asked anxiously. "What's going on in the mountains outside Nanming City? What happened? Why are you hiding it from me?"
Just as Xie Jian was about to explain, he saw Nanny Feng, who had sent the princess away, coming over.
"Madam Shen, can you tell me again about what happened that day?" Madam Feng asked.
Now there was nothing to hide, so Chen Heng told her what happened that day.
Xia gasped as she listened. If Ah Heng hadn't supported her, she wouldn't have been able to stand steadily. How could this daughter of the Ning Prince's Mansion do such a vicious thing? It was a life-threatening thing.
Nanny Feng smiled bitterly.
"Then, what happened to Mei'er?" Xia asked again.
Chen Heng and Xie Jian looked at each other, understood each other, and looked at Nanny Feng. After all, they should pretend that they didn't know about this kind of thing and let Nanny Feng solve the confusion.
"The legitimate young lady was unwilling to accept her failure, so she sent Mei'er to annoy Madam Shen and Mr. Xie." But now it seemed that there was no purpose at all. Such a lame trick. Madam Feng couldn't believe that the girl she had personally trained could do it. "The princess only found out tonight."
"Why? She's the daughter of Prince Ning's family. Why would she treat my family like this?" Xia's face was filled with fear. "When have we ever offended the daughter of a daughter of a family?"
Nanny Feng looked at the handsome Mr. Xie in front of her with complicated eyes. The legitimate daughter was very fond of Mr. Xie...
