Jin Minjing had planned to visit the temple in a few days, but this morning, Xin'er sent Lizhi to tell her that she had something very important to discuss with her, concerning her safety, and asked her to come out.
Jin Minjing felt uneasy. After much deliberation, she finally decided to take the opportunity of going to offer incense to see Xin'er.
Upon arriving at the temple, Kim Min-jung used the excuse of needing to see the master to avoid the servants and met with Shin-er alone in the backyard.
Upon seeing her, Xin'er became extremely anxious and hurriedly reported, "Princess, something's happened! Su Jiafeng knows the truth..."
Upon learning the whole story, Kim Min-jung was both shocked and angry, her phoenix eyes filled with worry and fear. "How could you be so careless!"
Xin'er felt extremely guilty about this and sighed that fate was unpredictable. "I only said that one sentence and didn't say much to my father. I really didn't expect Su Jiafeng to be there that night."
Glancing at her, Lizhi said sarcastically, "I'm not trying to criticize you, but Sister Xin'er, you shouldn't have mentioned the princess in front of anyone. You didn't keep all that money safe and let people see it. Isn't that causing trouble for the princess? The princess kindly rewarded you, but you've brought trouble upon yourself. You've truly let the princess down."
Jin Minjing's heart was in turmoil. She wanted to scold her, but she also remembered that Xin'er knew all the secrets. If she scolded her now, and Xin'er confessed everything in a fit of anger, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Kim Min-jung did not blame her, but softened her tone and said, "Forget it! This is not something you could have predicted. The most important thing is to find a solution to this matter, not to assign blame."
"Master is usually so strict, why is he being so understanding today?" Lizhi felt indignant and couldn't help but remind her, "Princess, just because Su Jiafeng didn't mention it yesterday doesn't mean he won't mention it in the future. What if he goes to Fourth Master..."
At this time, Jin Minjing was unaware of the situation in the mansion. She thought that Hongli was unaware and only wanted to eliminate the threat completely.
Clutching the handkerchief tightly, Jin Minjing narrowed her eyes and said hatefully, "Then let's get rid of Su Jiafeng!"
Upon hearing this, Xin'er was terrified. "Princess, you can't kill him!"
Seeing her anxious expression, Kim Min-jung's eyes flashed with suspicion. "What's wrong? Are you worried about her?"
"No..." Xin'er denied hastily, but her mind raced and she came up with a reason. "Actually, I'm worried about his identity. After all, he's Su Gege's brother. If something happens to him, Su Gege will definitely not let it go. If the investigation continues and they find out something, wouldn't that be even worse?"
Glancing at her, Kim Min-jung retorted, "Otherwise, do you have any better ideas?"
“I…” Xin’er stammered, unable to answer for a long time, and said dejectedly, “I don’t know what to do either.”
She had no other choice. To protect herself, Jin Minjing decided to target Su Jiafeng. However, she was too lazy to say anything more to Xin'er, and only gave her a few simple instructions.
"You don't need to worry about this anymore, I'll handle it. Don't go home for now, I'll find you a place to stay."
In fact, Xin'er dared not return to her home. She feared Su Jiafeng would reveal the matter, which would put her in grave danger. She was extremely grateful that Jin Gege was willing to arrange a way out for her.
"Thank you, Princess."
Then Jin Minjing told Xin'er to go out through the side door and wait there; she would send someone to take her to a safe place.
Xin'er did as she was told, and after bidding farewell to Princess Jin, she went to the side gate.
Watching Xin'er leave, Lizhi pondered for a moment and couldn't help but remind her, "Princess, I think dealing with Su Jiafeng is useless. The best way is to make Xin'er shut up."
After all, Su Jiafeng only heard rumors; he had no evidence. Xin'er, however, knew everything. Only by making her disappear forever, without witnesses or physical evidence, could Fourth Master rest easy.
Li Zhi's words made sense, and Jin Minjing was also worried that something might happen, but she always had some reservations. "Xin'er has been with me for many years and has been loyal to me. How can I harm her?"
"She is indeed loyal, but she was too careless and caused you such a huge mess. She brought this trouble upon herself, so she should pay the price!"
Furthermore, look at how protective he is of Su Jiafeng; who knows, she might already have feelings for Su Jiafeng. Once she falls for Su Jiafeng, and he persuades her to turn around and betray you, then you'll regret it!
Lizhi kept criticizing Xin'er, and Jin Minjing also harbored resentment towards Xin'er, but still thought of their past relationship and was in a dilemma. "But I only want to deal with Su Yushan, I don't want to sacrifice Xin'er."
"Your Highness, I understand that you are soft-hearted, but given the current situation, if we don't resolve this soon, it will be difficult to salvage the situation once the Fourth Prince finds out!"
Jin Minjing hesitated, unsure of what to do. Lizhi urged her repeatedly, "Princess, you can't hesitate any longer. You have to think of yourself and not always others. Being kind to her is being cruel to yourself."
Li Zhi repeatedly urged him on, and Jin Minjing finally made up his mind and assigned his trusted confidant Chen Feng to handle the matter.
Chen Feng was a servant brought by Jin Minjing from her maternal family. Nominally, he was a servant, but in reality, he knew martial arts, though he kept it hidden.
When the princess assigned him tasks, he didn't ask for reasons or whether they were right or wrong; he simply carried them out.
Upon receiving the order, Chen Feng immediately went to find Xin'er. Jin Minjing sighed softly, repeatedly comforting herself that she had no choice in doing so and hoped that Xin'er would not blame her.
Xin'er waited anxiously at the side door for quite a while when she saw a man come out.
Looking at the man, Xin'er was filled with doubt. She wondered why he was wearing a black mask in broad daylight. "Are you the person the princess arranged to send me away?"
She asked him a question, but he didn't answer. He just stared at her intently with an unusually cold look in his eyes.
Xin'er had a bad feeling, but she thought she was worrying for no reason. The princess was so good to her, how could she possibly harm her? She probably made the person wear a mask because she was worried that someone would see something and suspect something.
