Chapter 338 I Really Didn’t Lie to You
When Xu Miaomiao heard the voice, she frowned slightly. Nangong Jin also looked in that direction reluctantly, only to see Princess Jiahe running towards them with disheveled clothes. She stepped forward and was about to hit Xu Miaomiao in the face, but Xu Miaomiao nimbly took a step back.
Princess Jiahe just happened to bump into the railing next to her, and fell down directly under the tree. Her clothes, which were already a little messy, were even more dirty and looked tattered. She no longer looked like the noble lady she used to be.
Seeing her like this, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help laughing, but when Princess Jiahe heard her laughter, she frowned in dissatisfaction. She just ordered the people around her: "Come here, arrest this disrespectful person and give her 72 strokes of the cane."
But all the maids around him had died, so how could anyone hear his call?
When Princess Jiahe saw that no one paid attention to her, Princess Jiahe stood up like a madman, pushed Nangong Jin and said, "I asked you to arrest her, didn't you hear me?"
Nangong went in and was pushed down like this. He frowned in dissatisfaction, looked at Princess Jiahe and said calmly: "Have you had enough of the trouble?"
"I'm making trouble? I was the one who almost died today. On what basis do you say that I'm making trouble?"
Princess Jiahe looked at Nangong Jin with some dissatisfaction. Nangong Jin was also a little impatient at this time. She looked at Princess Jiahe and continued to speak: "You wanted to marry in at the beginning. No one put a knife on your neck and forced you to come to this mansion and bear what you should bear. Now you don't want to, what's the reason?"
"What do you mean I should bear it? Do you really think that all women in this world are eager to marry you?"
Princess Jiahe pointed at herself, then looked at Xu Miaomiao on the side and said, "And her."
Xu Miaomiao felt a little embarrassed when someone suddenly mentioned her. She didn't know whether she should leave or not. But if she just left without informing these two people, wouldn't it be impolite?
After saying this, Nangong Jin's patience seemed to have been exhausted. She frowned. Xu Miaomiao could already sense her reaction, but Jiahe knew it clearly but still didn't know the seriousness of the matter. She stepped forward and said, "What do you think, Nangong Jin? You have been arrogant and lonely for so many years. You look down on all kinds of women in the capital, but you actually like a married woman. It's a pity that Xu Miaomiao doesn't take you seriously at all. She doesn't like you at all. No matter how much you treat her, she will never treat you well."
“Pah—”
A loud slap sounded in the air. Xu Miaomiao looked at the scene in front of her in some shock. She saw that Nangong Jin actually slapped Princess Jiahe. Although Nangong Jin was an important official, Princess Jiahe was also a member of the royal family after all. It was unbelievable for Xu Miaomiao that he actually slapped Princess Jiahe.
Princess Jiahe also seemed to be stunned, with her head tilted for a long time without coming back to her senses, but at this time Nangong Jin had a grim expression. He drew his sword from his waist, put it on the neck of the Lord of Jiahe, and said, "No one forced you to marry in. Since you are here, you should do what you should do, but you didn't. If you say one more word, don't blame me for being blind. After all, others don't know whether Princess Jiahe survived in the Nangong Mansion."
Hearing the threatening words from Nangong Jin's mouth, Princess Jiahe panicked all of a sudden. Her eyes were filled with fear. Looking at the tip of the knife so close to her, the leader of the Jiahe group trembled and said, "Nangong Jin, my mother is Princess Duanjing. You dare to touch me?"
"Do you think I don't dare?" As he said that, Nangong Jin moved forward one more point, and the originally sharp sword left a red mark on Jiahe County Lord's shoulder, and blood had already seeped out of the red mark. Xu Miaomiao was shocked when she saw it. If Jiahe County Lord died here, she might not be able to escape. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao hurriedly wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but the next moment, Nangong Jin put away the sword again and spat out a word to Jiahe County Lord coldly: "Get out."
When Princess Jiahe heard this, she angrily swung her sleeves, looked at Nangong Jin and said, "Today I will return to Prince Jing's Mansion. I will tell everyone in the world, so that they will know what kind of person you, Nangong Jin, are."
After saying that, Princess Jiahe stood up and walked out of the mansion.
Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh. This princess is indeed a noble lady. She can't bear any grievances anywhere. Otherwise, she will find ways to retaliate.
"Isn't it scary?" A voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Xu Miaomiao looked up in surprise, only to see that it was Nangong Jin who was talking to her. His cold and ruthless look just now and his gentle tone now made Xu Miaomiao dazed for a moment.
Xu Miaomiao quickly shook her head and distanced herself from Nangong Jin: "It's okay, it's okay. Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
After Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, she couldn't wait to leave. Seeing her leaving, Nangong Jin wanted to reach out and grab Xu Miaomiao's sleeve, but the woman walked too fast, and the sleeve finally did not stay in his hand. Looking at her departing back, Nangong Jin was silent. When Xu Miaomiao just returned to the mansion, she took a deep breath, sat on a chair and drank a cup of tea, which allowed herself to calm down.
Seeing her like this, Gu Yuanniang thought she was tired, so she poured him a glass of water and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Then the salt tax issue has been resolved."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she sighed, shook her head helplessly, and lay on the table like a child, acting coquettishly to Gu Yuan's mother: "You don't know what happened when I went to Nangong Mansion today. There were corpses all over the yard!"
"What?" Gu Yuanniang was also a little surprised when she heard this. She immediately sat down and looked at Xu Miaomiao and touched her head: "You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"
Xu Miaomiao pushed Gu Yuanniang and said, "I really didn't lie to you. You didn't see that scene. If it weren't for Dabao and Li Yi, I would have died there. In the end, although Nangong Jin was found, he was busy trying to find out who the assassin was, so I didn't tell him about the salt dealer. It seems that we can only solve this problem by ourselves. It's always unreliable to rely on others."
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she lowered her head in silence, not knowing what to say. It would be best if Nangong Jin could solve the problem.
