Chapter 109 Scapegoat

"You!" Ju Ping's teeth itched with anger, "Princess, she..."

"This princess has also felt that you have been acting a little strange recently, especially after the inn caught fire that night. Whether it is true or not, I will leave it to you, my Lord."

Chu Zhenxuan waved his hand and two guards came up. Ju Ping got anxious and grabbed Qingping, then pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and put it to Qingping's neck.

"What are you doing?" Ju Qian's face changed and he took a step forward.

"Haven't you noticed that there's something wrong with me a long time ago? Why are you still pretending to be so hypocritical?" Ju Ping glared at her. She hated Ju Qian's loyal and saintly look the most. She was obviously just a servant, so how could she pretend to be a saint? But she went ahead and pretended to be so loyal.

"Let's talk it over nicely. Let the princess go first." Kikuchi said anxiously.

"If I let the princess go, I won't be able to walk out of here alive. It's better to die together with the princess." A look of despair flashed across Ju Ping's face.

"No, no, please let the princess go, and we will ask the Prime Minister for mercy, okay?" Ju Qian was about to cry.

"No, I was the one who drugged the princess. It has nothing to do with anyone else. I like the prince and don't want him to marry. It's that simple!" After saying that, Ju Ping retracted the dagger and wiped her neck with it. A column of blood sprayed all over Qing Ping.

Juqian pulled Qingping over.

Ju Ping rolled her eyes and fell heavily to the ground with a sarcastic smile on her face.

Xia Xue:......

The wife of Marquis Dingbei was obviously frightened by this sudden change and instinctively hid behind Marquis Dingbei.

Marquis Dingbei was a man accustomed to seeing life and death, but seeing Ju Ping's tragic death, his stomach churned.

Is this Ju Ping a disguise? Where is the real Ju Ping?

When she said that just now, she took all the responsibility on herself, but Lady Dingbei Marquis was obviously shocked by her action. Who instructed her to be so determined to die in such a short time?

Thinking about the expression on Ju Ping's face just now, that look of despair was really not fake. So who gave her the instructions?

Suddenly I remembered what Ju Ping said before she died. She liked

Only then did Xia Xue glance at Ouyang Du.

Ouyang Du still looked at her tenderly with a smile in his eyes.

Xia Xue curled her lips.

A woman who liked you just died in front of you, and you were still able to laugh.

Cold-blooded.

Ouyang Du's face darkened and he stopped smiling.

Yang Junyi and Chu Zhenxuan on the side laughed.

At this time, it was Dingbei Hou who reacted first, "Since the truth is clear, Princess Qingping was poisoned, let's not damage the relationship and return to the Southland tomorrow."

Lady Dingbei Marquis was really unwilling to accept this. She had planned for so long just to destroy the marriage, how could it end like this?

Mrs. Dingbei immediately looked at Ouyang Du.

Ouyang Du smiled and said, "Dad is right. I will arrange it right away."

Xia Xue sneered. You guys just want to hurt people, and then you let a maid die?

"My Lord, your wife has clearly known about Qingping's Chinese medicine for a long time and is still aggressive. Now that the matter has been exposed, you said you would take her to the South Country, but what have you been doing just now? If Lord Xia didn't know about Ximu's matter, would Qingping's affair with someone today have been confirmed? They were so unfriendly before the marriage, how can you guarantee that Qingping will not be bullied after the marriage?" Xia Xue was not happy.

"Madam has always been a gossipy person, and she dotes on the Crown Prince, so when she saw Qingping was a little abnormal, she couldn't help but want to verify it. My Lord Prime Minister and my Lord Prince, please don't mind. For what happened today, I, the Marquis, solemnly apologize to the Princess on behalf of the Dingbei Marquisate, and I apologize for Madam's rudeness just now!" Marquis Dingbei said, bowing to Qingping.

Qingping quickly leaned over and returned the greeting.

The wife of Marquis Dingbei was filled with anger and tugged at the sleeve of Marquis Dingbei.

Marquis Dingbei glared at her angrily.

The wife of Marquis Dingbei was completely dumbfounded. She was unwilling to accept that her plan, which had taken so long, was ruined like this!

Ouyang Du took a step forward and said, "The misunderstanding has been resolved. Please don't take it too seriously. I promise you in my name that something like this will never happen again."

Qingping nodded.

She originally had no hope for a marriage, but when faced with the tall and handsome Ouyang Du, she was very satisfied.

Xia Xue took a step forward and was about to say something, but was stopped by Chu Zhenxuan.

Since Marquis Dingbei bowed his head, Chu Zhenxuan followed suit with a few polite words.

Finally, the group decided to let Qingping take a short rest and then set off for the Southland three days later.

Xia Xue was very angry, so she ignored Chu Zhenxuan and went back.

Qing Ping went with her and bowed to Xia Xue when he walked out the door. "Thank you for your protection, Madam."

"What a bullshit protection! In the end, I didn't even get an apology from the wife of Marquis Dingbei." Xia Xue held Chu Zhenxuan responsible for this.

"Qingping is destined to marry into the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion, so it's not good to make things too awkward."

Xia Xue sighed and thought: Silly girl, will life be better if you keep compromising?

"Then you should have a good rest."

Qing Ping looked at Xia Xue's back, thinking. She envied Xia Xue's revengeful nature, but she didn't have the wisdom. The prince's eyes were mostly on the prime minister's wife just now. I wonder if the prince also...

Alas, the Prime Minister’s wife is like a ray of light, illuminating wherever she goes. Who in the dark could fail to notice the light?

Xia Xue here was very unhappy when she returned to her residence. After Chu Zhenxuan settled Dingbei Hou and others, he hurried over immediately.

You'd better not talk to me!

snort!

You will be blacklisted from now on!

Chu Zhenxuan: ???

His little woman is still angry.

Suddenly, Chu Zhenxuan had an idea.

At this moment, what Xia Xue saw was Chu Zhenxuan, who looked like he was going to come over to coax her, but he actually walked halfway and then walked out again.

Xia Xue:!!!

"Lock the door and don't let him in again!"

Xia Xue almost yelled.

Another hour passed, and Chu Zhenxuan still hadn't come back. Xia Xue held her head and went to bed angrily.

But thinking about what happened today, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. This wife of the Marquis of Dingbei is obviously the mastermind, and the result is that the maid pretending to be Ju Ping became the scapegoat. The maid also had problems, but how did she take action in such a short time!!!

Xia Xue didn't want to think about it anymore. She was most angry with Chu Zhenxuan.

Yes, and Yang Junyi.

The southerners are so bullying, why doesn’t he just call off the engagement?

At this moment, the candle in Xia Xue's room suddenly went out.

Xia Xue was stunned and turned around.

Two dolls appeared on the wall, a boy and a girl.

"Madam, madam, are you still angry?" the male doll made a voice.

"Go away!" The female doll turned her back.

"Madam, I am sorry for what happened to you today. I will definitely get it back for you someday."

"I wouldn't believe you!"

"Madam, as long as we successfully complete the most important task of this trip, I will definitely help you vent your anger."

The female doll was silent.

The male doll quietly came over and hugged the female doll.

The two dolls immediately hugged each other...

Angry Xia Xue:......
