Chapter 469 The Biggest Problem Is Right Now

"How uneducated! He actually asked the servants to sit at the same table with him."

"She herself is of such a lowly status, how is she different from a servant?"

"His Highness Prince Xuan is really something. He had all the noble ladies in the capital to choose from, but he chose such a not presentable one..."

Hearing the chattering sounds all around, Xie Zhuoning suddenly slapped the table and stood up, glancing around with cold eyes.

"You all come from high-class families, don't you even know the rules of not talking while eating or sleeping? You are so good at gossiping about others, aren't you afraid that others will gossip about you? Your son, your husband, your father-in-law, and your daughter... I don't want to talk about those things, but if you piss me off, I'll tell you all about them!"

She named several ladies one after another.

The person she pointed at instantly turned pale.

Many people saw with their own eyes how she managed to force Sima Ru into a corner with just a few words.

For a moment, everyone was silent, so quiet that even the breathing could be heard.

Song Yuqiu was so pleased when she saw this that she slapped her thighs repeatedly, "Sister Zhuo Ning, how did you know so much gossip about other people?"

"Hmph..." Xie Zhuoning put his index finger on his mouth, "I cheated them."

"Ah? It can be like this?" Song Yuqiu learned something new again.

Xie Zhuoning pursed his lips and smiled, "Which wealthy family in the capital doesn't have some secret affairs in their house?"

How could she have so much free time to investigate each family's background?

As for Sima Ru, her affairs were no longer a secret in her previous life.

Nan Kangbo's mother couldn't bear to see her son left without a successor, so she wanted to publicly recognize her grandchildren who were living abroad.

Now, no matter whether they are genuine or fake, they come in droves, all wanting to help their children succeed and become rich and powerful.

Sima Ru caused a big fuss in Nankangbo's mansion because of this incident, and almost angered Nankangbo's mother to death. Nankangbo even considered divorcing his wife.

When Empress Sima went to support her sister, she took her with her.

When I came to my senses, I saw Song Yuqiu and Xia Ju were already eating and drinking.

Seeing her looking over, Song Yuqiu quickly said, "Don't worry, Sister Zhuoning, eat it. I have tested it for poison."

Xie Zhuoning chuckled. Although Princess Jing'an wouldn't be stupid enough to poison the banquet, it was reassuring to have them both with her.

While they were eating, the maid who was in charge of adding wine and changing dishes was tripped by something and suddenly fell over, spilling all the wine.

Xia Ju held a chicken leg in his mouth, turned around and kicked the maid away.

But the spilled wine inevitably affected Xie Zhuoning and the ladies around him.

Seeing this, the housekeeper of the Princess's residence immediately stepped forward and said, "My maids are clumsy and I'm sorry. Please go to the guest room to wash up. We will prepare new clothes for you to change into."

This matter was handled in a proper and thoughtful manner. The ladies who were originally a little dissatisfied stopped talking after hearing this and followed the maid of the Princess's Mansion.

Xie Zhuoning was naturally among them.

The guest courtyards of the Princess's Mansion are scattered and each courtyard does not interfere with each other.

The maid who brought them here first arranged the ladies according to their age, status and position, and finally it was Xie Zhuoning's turn.

"Madam Yu, please come this way. Someone will prepare a change of clothes for you in a moment."

After the maid brought Xie Zhuoning into the yard, she immediately left.

Back to the door, don't forget to close it.

“Crack—”

A slight sound of locking did not escape Xia Ju's ears. He raised his head suddenly and vigilantly, "Miss, the yard is locked!"

Not only that, there should be a lot of secret guards around the yard and on the roof, obviously to prevent them from escaping.

"Well," Xie Zhuoning nodded, his expression somewhat unpredictable, but not panicking, "Let's go in and see what great gift the princess has prepared for me."

"Miss, please step back!" Xia Ju protected Xie Zhuoning behind him, and first threw out a locust stone to knock open the door to make sure that no hidden weapons were shot out of the house.

Song Yuqiu came in right after that and checked the incense burner and flowers to make sure no one had drugged them anywhere.

After they were completely sure it was safe, the two allowed Xie Zhuoning to enter.

"It's strange, why is there nothing wrong in this room?" Song Yuqiu scratched her head, obviously a little puzzled. What was Princess Jing'an's purpose in going to so much trouble to bring her own sister Zhuoning here?

Xie Zhuoning looked at the new clothes stacked in the room and laughed, "How can there be no problems? Isn't the biggest problem right under your nose?"

"Ah?" Song Yuqiu lowered her head and picked up the dress. "You mean, there's something wrong with this dress? I checked it and it's fine."

"Stupid!" Xie Zhuoning tapped her head. "How did she know that my clothes would get wet and prepare them here in advance?"

Unless all this is man-made and designed in advance.

There is nothing wrong with anything in this room, so the biggest problem is probably this dress.

Princess Jing'an, what exactly do you want to do with this dress?

At this moment, Princess Jing'an stood at the highest point of the Princess's Mansion and looked towards the guest house. "Is everything arranged?"

The person beside him lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Princess. Everything has been arranged."

"There is a maidservant with her. She should be good at martial arts. Be careful and don't let her run away to report the news."

There should be quite a few Feiyun Guards around her that her younger brother left for her.

"Don't worry, Princess. The secret guards in the mansion have surrounded the place tightly and will not allow them to go out and ask for help."

Princess Jing'an fiddled with her long gemstone finger ring and whispered softly, "Xuan'er, don't resent my sister. You are too uncontrollable. We can't let you ruin our plans anymore."

In another guest house.

Several ladies changed their clothes and were about to return to the banquet. They passed by an open courtyard and heard some strange noises.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and were instantly terrified!

Xie Zhuoning was seen holding a sharp knife and stabbing Mrs. Nan Kangbo frantically. His eyes were red and he was like a madman. "Go to hell, die, die!"

The crowd was trembling, shaking, and screaming, "Murder! Someone come! Murder!"

When Xie Zhuoning was discovered, he immediately ran away and soon disappeared.

It was a peaceful banquet, but ended up with a loss of life.

When Princess Jing'an heard the news, she immediately sent people to protect the ladies and girls, and then sent people to invite the prefect of Jingzhao.

When Yang Fangwen and the coroner entered the courtyard of the guest room, they saw the wife of Nankang Earl Sima Ru being stabbed several times and died tragically in the courtyard.

"Sir Yang," Princess Jing'an came over and said to him seriously, "Mrs. Nankangbo is the Queen's biological sister. This matter is of great importance. I will immediately send someone to the palace to report to the Queen Mother. Please also find out the truth as soon as possible and catch the real culprit!"

Yang Fangwen also knew that this matter was of great importance, and he immediately responded, "Princess, rest assured, I will do my best to find out the truth!"
