Chapter 112 Xu Ruoyan's Plan
"Tsk, so what? I'm lucky to be alive anyway. Humph, if things don't work out, isn't his mother the prefect of Jiangzhou? I can use my connections to find a woman who doesn't mind me and marry her off, right?"
"Yes, you are still worrying about him. Xu Ruoyan always looks down on this and that. She even deliberately made things difficult for you before, right? Now that he has fallen to this point, I don't believe you are not secretly happy about it."
Jiang Shijun listened to the noisy discussions around him, frowned, and said calmly:
"My dear gentlemen, we were supposed to have a flower-viewing banquet today, but this incident happened. It is the fault of the Nanyou Palace. I am afraid that the banquet cannot be held now. Please go away. I have to visit Master Xu later, so I will not stay any longer."
After Jiang Shijun finished speaking, he quickly went to the palace doctor with a group of attendants behind him.
The remaining men heard Jiang Shijun's order to leave, although they were thinking about investigating how Xu Ruoyan fell into the water.
Was it a slip of the tongue, or was there something else going on?
But it was not a good idea to stay for too long, so they left in groups of three or four, talking behind each other's back.
After everyone has left.
Only two masters and three servants were left there.
Meng Yunlan's face turned pale, his eyes were filled with relief for having survived the catastrophe, his lips trembled slightly as he thanked her:
"I have to thank you for what happened just now, Master Ji. If you hadn't grabbed me before I fell into the water, I would have been the one who had my reputation ruined and was the target of gossip."
Ji Qiubai shook his head, his eyes full of worry, and asked in a worried tone:
"Mr. Meng, please don't thank me. I'm the one who caused you trouble today. You drank wine mixed with laxatives at the banquet. How do you feel now? How about I take you to see the palace doctor?"
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the attendants being escorted by Leshan and Daiyun. His eyes instantly became dark and cold, and he spoke in a long and meaningful tone:
"You know what to do later, right? If the mastermind behind this isn't caught, then you - hehe, you'll have to take the blame for him."
"You can choose between being torn apart by five horses or being executed by slow slicing. Oh... I forgot to mention that even if it's a corpse, I have plenty of ways to fix it. I'm sure you don't want to know."
When the servant heard this, his eyes went dark and he collapsed to the ground with a thump.
After a while.
He came to his senses, knelt on his knees and walked forward, stretching out his hands to grab the corner of Ji Qiubai's clothes and beg for mercy, but Dai Yun and Le Shan held down his shoulders.
He could only kneel two steps away from Ji Qiubai, shaking his head and nodding vigorously, crying and saying:
"Master, wow, wow, I was deceived by Master Xu. I thought he just wanted to play a trick on Master Meng, so I agreed to help him drug. I didn't know that Master Xu wanted to kill people."
"My dear, I promise that I will bite him to death and point him out. I only ask you to spare my life afterwards. I don't want to die, wuwuwu."
Ji Qiubai looked at him with disgust, frowned, stepped back a few steps, and threw out a few words coldly from between his teeth:
"It depends on your performance."
He winked at Leshan and Dai Yun, and without looking back, he took Meng Yunlan and went to the palace doctor's office.
The two people behind him received the hint from their master, looked at the dirty servant with disdain, exerted force with their hands, lifted the man up and followed Ji Qiubai.
The provincial doctor's office.
King Nanyou sat upright on a chair by the window.
He took a sip of tea slowly, glanced at Jiang Shijun standing beside him, and asked calmly:
"What happened just now? Why did Master Xu suddenly fall into the water?"
Jiang Shijun pursed his lips, glanced at the person who just opened his eyes on the bed, and suggested in a low voice:
"Father, when I arrived with the men, Master Xu had already fallen into the pool. We didn't see any suspicious people around, and I don't know exactly what happened. Now that Master Xu is awake, why don't we let him tell the story himself?"
King Nanyou nodded slightly, looked at Xu Ruoyan who had woken up, and said nothing more.
But Xu Ruoyan on the bed understood instantly, knowing that it was Nanyou Wangjun's signal for her to speak!
So he bit his lips tightly, wiped away his tears, sobbed, and spoke in a broken voice:
"Wang, Wang Jun, I was pushed into the lotus pond by someone, and the one who did it was none other than Mr. Meng, the wife of Huachen student. It was because I said a few bad things to him at the banquet today."
"On the way to the toilet, I saw the lotus flowers in the pond were blooming beautifully, so I stood there for a while. Who would have thought that this would give him an opportunity to take advantage of me? Suddenly, I was pushed from behind. When I noticed it, I turned my head desperately. I saw clearly that the culprit was Mr. Meng."
Upon hearing this, Prince Nanyou slowly put down his teacup, took the handkerchief handed over by the servant, wiped his lips with it, and then said "hmm" slowly.
He turned his head and instructed the attendant behind him:
"Go and invite Lord Meng over, and bring along the attendant who will lead the way."
After saying this, he looked at Xu Ruoyan, who was half leaning against the bed with a pale face and still crying, frowned, and said soothingly:
"Don't be sad, Master Xu. Since this happened in the Nanyou Palace, we will find out the truth and if it is indeed as you said, I will punish the mastermind severely.
As for the fact that you fell into the water and were rescued by a foreign woman, if you do not want to get married, I will help you find a family you like."
Xu Ruoyan heard this, a faint light flashed in her eyes, and she nodded obediently and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Ruoyan will leave it to Your Majesty to decide."
He had already paid hush money to the palace attendants.
Since the servant has accepted the money, he will definitely not identify me, and will even follow my words and identify Meng Yunlan.
Humph.
That bitch just wait!
She actually pushed him into the water when he wasn't paying attention.
She has such a vicious mind. The king will punish that pretentious little bitch later.
As for getting married...
He already had a choice.
The princess would be his future ideal wife.
Thinking of this, Xu Ruoyan became happier and happier, with one corner of her mouth curled up slightly, waiting to see Meng Yunlan get into trouble so that he could benefit from it.
However--
Xu Ruoyan’s sweet dream didn’t last long.
A burst of sarcastic laughter came from outside the house, shattering his fantasy.
I saw it at the door.
Ji Qiubai led a group of attendants around Jiang Shijun with a gloomy face, leaned lazily on the chair, raised his chin and said:
"I have never seen someone as shameless as you. Xu Ruoyan, you really opened my eyes!"
After saying that, he ignored Xu Ruoyan's face which turned livid due to being scolded, looked at Nanyou Wangjun and Jiang Shijun, curled his lips and said:
"Father, Brother Jiang, don't listen to Xu Ruoyan's nonsense. This guy is the mastermind behind all this. He was just tricked when he was plotting against someone else. Humph!"
