"I killed the three first, and then revived them when they felt death approaching."
"Over and over again, until... they are willing to speak."
"The most terrifying thing in life is death. I understand only too well how terrifying it is to die multiple times in a row."
“The unknown is always frightening.”
She said these words calmly, her bright eyes staring at Jing Shengzhu quietly.
After a long while, she saw the panic in Jing Shengzhu's eyes and smiled again, "My friend, don't look at me like that. It makes me feel like a pervert."
Jing Shengzhu muttered softly, "Aren't you?"
"I'm not." Mu Qingran lowered his head slightly, his hand falling on Jing Shengzhu's shoulder, "We are from the same hometown. I was interrogating you so patiently for your sake.
Is it...because of this, you...don't like me anymore?"
Jing Shengzhu pursed his lips and smiled foolishly.
She likes anyone who won't harm her family and is good to the General's Mansion.
As soon as the interrogation results came out, young and old sat together to discuss how to deal with the eldest princess.
When the old lady heard that it was Princess Feng Ling, her former rival in love, she pressed her fingers into her palms with a cold and gloomy expression.
"The master has never been engaged to the eldest princess. It's just that she has a one-sided love for him."
"Just because the master chose me, she got so angry that she wanted to attack my daughter!"
"I really can't wait."
After saying this, she turned to Jing Runian and instructed, "Dalang, tomorrow you will invite all the generals in the court to come to the general's residence for an audience!"
"Yes, mother."
"No one can harm my little Qiaoqiao!" The old lady's eyes were firm.
It seemed as if he had murderous intentions.
After the discussion, everyone in the Jing family was worried.
Everyone stopped Jing Shenghua and asked where Qiaoqiao was.
Jing Shenghua told everyone the truth.
It is said that His Majesty asked Lu Xiaojia to take care of his aunt.
Upon hearing Lu Xiaojia's words, the people in the general's mansion felt relieved.
Later, when Jing Shenghua returned to the house, he was stopped by his sisters and brothers.
Everyone was acting sneaky.
"What are you all doing under my window?"
The eldest brother, Jing Shenghan, crossed his arms: "Something's going on."
"What's going on?"
Cousin Jing Shengqiao whispered: "It has something to do with my aunt."
"Oh, and then?"
Jing Shengcheng, Jing Shengtian, Jing Shengshi, and Jing Shengzhu all said two words in unison: "The voice of the heart—"
Old Five Jing Shenghua was startled and quickly opened the door of his house. "Keep your voice down. Let's go inside and talk."
So everyone revealed their intentions so that they could hear Qiaoqiao's thoughts.
"So you can all hear your aunt's thoughts?"
Jing Shengqiao couldn't help laughing: "Otherwise, why would we run out of the ancestral hall when Lu Xiaojia came to pick up the little aunt? Of course, it was to listen to what the little aunt had to say."
"You didn't stop me because you knew my aunt wanted to go to the palace?"
The eldest brother, Jing Shenghan, raised his hand: "I don't know about this episode, so remember to tell me."
"Okay, I'll tell you slowly when the time comes." Old Five Jing Shenghua pulled up a chair. "Now that we're talking about it, let's all express our opinions."
He had been brewing for a long time and was thirsty, so he was about to take a cup.
Jing Shengzhu quickly poured the tea and pushed it in front of Jing Shenghua: "Hurry up and tell me."
"My aunt can protect herself in the palace. We don't need to worry about that."
"Yes, my aunt fell to the ground but remained unharmed. This shows her extraordinary abilities." Jing Shengqiao agreed.
In an instant, his expression changed drastically, "But we can't always let my aunt face it alone."
"you mean?"
"Outside the palace, the eldest princess can murder my aunt. If it happens inside the palace, my aunt will..."
"Indeed, when the villains attack, they always think about how to respond and don't know how to fight back. Those who don't know will think that everyone in our general's mansion is dead."
Fourth Brother Jing Shengcheng slammed his fist on the table and said coldly, "Little Aunt has worked so hard for us. Now... how can we bear to see her being bullied alone in the palace!"
Jing Shenghua put his hand on Jing Shengcheng's shoulder: "Fourth brother, I'm optimistic about you."
"But now..." Everyone looked at Jing Shenghua.
"Okay, wait for me to come back, I'll go listen to my aunt's thoughts."
My aunt loves to complain. Listening to her thoughts is like understanding her situation in the palace.
So Jing Shenghua went to the palace with everyone's hopes.
But when they arrived at the place, they saw several eunuchs doing horse stance outside the hall.
Lu Xiaojia stood in front of them and ground his back teeth.
"When we left, we warned you not to let anyone get close to Princess Qiaoqiao. How did you do that?"
"Godfather, we don't want to either, but the one who wants to see Princess Qiaoqiao is... Princess Fengling." A eunuch said aggrievedly.
"What else did she do besides strangling Princess Pretty?"
"And... he let out an extremely painful roar." Another eunuch replied.
"Oh, this is really strange. She pinched the other person's neck and even let out an extremely painful roar." Lu Xiaojia gathered his sleeves, a look of disgust on his face. "This princess, she didn't stay in her own palace for a day, but did such a wicked thing?"
Lu Xiaojia: The eldest princess is weird.
Lu Xiaojia was holding a whisk and talking to himself when he suddenly saw a shadow falling from the roof.
"Young Master Jing?"
"With you here, Uncle Lu, my aunt will be safe and sound."
He pulled Lu Xiaojia aside and stuffed a handful of candy into his mouth to please him. “Eunuch Lu, I’ve never seen such a competent and kind person like you.”
