Chapter 437: It was Her Royal Highness the Princess who wanted to drive us away and put the blame on us
In General Xie's mansion, Wen Jianjia looked out with a little uneasiness.
Mrs. Changsun couldn't bear to see her daughter's useless appearance, so she said coldly, "Sit down and embroider well."
Wen Jianjia threw her handkerchief onto the table in dissatisfaction and grumbled, "Mother, how can I continue embroidering? It's been so long, why hasn't Xiaolian come back to report? Could it be that it didn't work out?"
Chang Sun scolded, "You can't sit still at this moment. What will you do if you have to confront your cousin?
Besides, there is no such thing as a foolproof plan. If it doesn’t work this time, we can just think of a way next time.
The key is to be clean and decisive, leaving no room for suspicion. You mustn't arouse your cousin's suspicion. Just embroider for me and calm down."
Wen Jianjia then reluctantly picked up the handkerchief and forced herself to pick up the needle to embroider. But after a few stitches, she couldn't help but say, "I'm always worried that Xiaolian hasn't come back yet."
Chang Sun said, "Xiao Lian has been with me for many years. She is always cautious and will never make a mistake. Even if she does make a mistake, she knows what to say and what not to say.
As for those people, we didn't show up, so even if they were caught, they couldn't trace the blame back to us.
She's been showing off in public, and who knows how many people she's offended. And with the whole gang of traitors in her family, who knows how many people want her dead."
After being comforted by Changsun, Wen Jianjia finally felt relieved. However, she had only just felt relieved for a moment when a maid ran in in a panic, screaming, "Madam, something bad has happened."
Wen Jianjia's face paled, and her hands trembled uncontrollably. Changsun gave her daughter a subtle warning, saying with a sullen face, "You're so flustered! How can you be so unbecoming?"
The old woman knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, to be honest, someone has captured Miss Xiaolian and a group of strong men and knocked on the door. They said that they confessed that you ordered them to attack Her Royal Highness the Princess, and now they want to take you to the government office to be punished."
Chang Sun's fingers trembled slightly, but she quickly calmed down. "Nonsense! We have no grudge against Her Royal Highness, why would you attack Her Royal Highness? Who is jealous of us and wants to throw dirty water on us?"
Wen Jianjia also said in a sharp voice: "That's right, why would my mother and I do such a thing? It must be that bitch Xiaolian. She blames me for scolding her and is deliberately taking revenge on me."
At this time, a sneer rang out in the courtyard. "Miss Wen, you really know how to tell jokes. Are you saying that just because you scolded her a few times, your maid spent thousands of taels of silver to attack my master, just to put the blame on you?"
Wen Jianjia looked at the man who walked in from outside the courtyard, her heart panicking, her face twisted as she asked, "Who are you? Who allowed you to enter my room? Do you even know the rules?"
"If I remember correctly, this is General Xie's residence, right? Who are you? When did you become the owner of this house?" Liang Jiamin looked at Wen Jianjia coldly, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.
Wen Jianjia was hurt by his gaze and opened her mouth to curse, but before the words reached her throat, she saw a corner of silver-gray clothes peeking out from behind the door.
Tears welled up in her eyes and she said aggrievedly, "I see. It's your princess who is unhappy with my mother and I staying at my cousin's house, so she deliberately caused this trouble. She wants us to move out, right?
If you don't want us to live in your house, we can just move out. Why put such a big hat on our heads? Mother, we will move out right now. Someone can't tolerate us mother and daughter."
When Changsun met her daughter's eyes, she immediately covered her chest and burst into tears. "Jia'er, it's my fault for not thinking carefully. I've caused you and me to suffer. Don't worry, big brother, we won't stay here and bother your princess. We'll move out now."
As soon as Lu Zhixi arrived, he heard the two of them singing the same tune, putting all the blame on himself.
She sneered, strode in, and applauded, "What a great performance! I'm really wasting your talents by not giving you two a stage tonight."
"Zhixi..." Xie Xin's face was full of shame. It was all because of his poor judgment of people that he let these two things live in the mansion, causing Zhixi to suffer such a great injustice before she even got married.
"Cousin." Seeing Xie Xin, the tears that had been hanging on Wen Jianjia's eyelashes finally fell. She choked and said, "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."
Chang Sun also wiped her tears and said, "Xin'er, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. Don't worry, I'm not shameless. I'll move out right away and will never cause trouble for you two in the mansion again."
Xie Xin's face turned as black as charcoal. "Alright, stop acting."
"Xin'er, don't you even trust your aunt? Have you forgotten how I came to help you despite my family's opposition when your family was exiled?"
Zhang Sun clutched her chest with her hands, filled with grief, and said, "If I had known you would misunderstand me, I should have died in the capital and should not have come to find you."
Xie Xin said with a cold expression, "It is because of our old relationship and my mother that I trust you so much, let you live in my house, and give you the power of housekeeper.
But I never imagined that you two were such venomous snakes, disregarding my trust. You actually used my money to hire someone to attack your Majesty's carriage."
"Ah?" Changsun was about to try to argue, but when she heard Xie Xin's last words, a look of confusion appeared on her face.
The person she was looking for was to deal with Lu Zhixi, so how could it involve His Majesty?
