The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 226 Hexagram 8

"Ziwei pays her respects to the old Buddha."

Looking at Ziwei who was still well-behaved as if nothing had happened, the old lady was not sure what was going on with her.

"Have you heard about the deaths of the Forlan family?"

The old lady seemed to be speaking casually, but her whole attention was on Ziwei.

"The Fulan family?" Ziwei was no less impressive, and she performed a scene of shock, disbelief, and extreme sadness for the old lady quite skillfully.

"How could this be? Did Mr. Buddha make a mistake?"

Looking at Ziwei's tears that were about to fall, the old lady said calmly: "I thought you knew. Didn't you leave the palace yesterday? Didn't you hear about this?"

When Ziwei heard that she was leaving the palace, her heart skipped a beat. It was true that nothing in the harem could be hidden from the eyes of the Empress Dowager.

Ziwei smiled bitterly: "Ziwei left the palace to see Xiaoyanzi, and didn't hear the bad news."

The old lady nodded lightly. She had just sent someone to the guest house to inquire about the situation.

"I heard someone saw you over there, and some even suspected you were the one who did it."

"Old Buddha, you are joking. Ziwei hasn't seen Erkang for a long time, and she has never been to the Fu family."

Ziwei pretended to be calm, but she didn't know that these seemingly irrelevant words were actually confirming the fact that she and Erkang had met secretly.

At least I saw it after Falcon broke his leg.

The old lady didn't think that Ziwei would admit it just by asking a few questions, she just wanted to confirm it. It seemed that there was no need to ask, as it was almost certain.

After Ziwei left, Nanny Fang said mysteriously, "Grandma, when I went to deliver the message, Princess Huanzhu was calm, but her personal maid was so frightened that she couldn't even perform a formal ceremony. I think she knows something and have had her brought here."

Nanny Fang worked quickly and efficiently, and by then Jinsuo had been tied up in the dark room of the Cining Palace.

When she saw the Old Buddha, Jinsuo was so scared that she burst into tears. The Old Buddha would not catch her for no reason. It must be that what they did was discovered.

In a moment, Jinsuo thought a lot. She was already wondering if someone from the Fu family was still alive and had come to complain.

Seeing her tears welling up before she could speak, the old lady shook her head silently. She was too timid and could not be compared with Ziwei.

"Tell me the truth. How did you do it? Why did you do it? If you do that, I might spare your life."

"Where's the young lady? Old Buddha, where's our princess?"

Nanny Fang said sternly, "Once you have explained everything clearly, the Empress Dowager will naturally release Princess Huan Zhu!"

Upon hearing this, Jinsuo kowtowed repeatedly: "This servant has confessed everything. This servant has confessed everything. This is all my fault. My princess has nothing to do with it. Besides, my princess is really desperate."

So Jinsuo tearfully explained how Erkang threatened Ziwei with his innocence, how Ziwei was forced to come up with this trick, what Jinsuo did, and how she burned them to death.

After listening to this, the old man shook his head repeatedly: "How foolish!"

As a princess who was not recognized by the royal family, she secretly decided to spend her life with a man before her identity was determined. However, when she wanted to break up, the man caught her and forced her. She thought Ziwei was smart before, but now it seems that she is stupid.

"My Lord, it's not a pity that Jinsuo died, but Gege was really forced into a desperate situation."

The old lady didn't want to talk to this stupid girl raised by a stupid master anymore. It was really stupid to make her confess everything just by scaring her.

Watching the old lady leave shaking her head, the door of the dark room was closed again, and Jinsuo curled up crying.

I don’t know what the situation of her young lady is now. I hope that after she confesses everything, the young lady will not have to suffer the same torture as before.

Jinsuo thought randomly, after all, there were three lives involved, and killing someone means paying with one's life, so she wouldn't really die, would she?

The Empress Dowager sighed repeatedly, feeling very worried. She had to go to the Yangxin Palace to discuss with the Emperor how to deal with this matter.

While the Empress Dowager was still worrying about how to deal with the matter, a story of an erotic affair from a brothel, along with the news of the Fulan family's death, quietly spread throughout the capital.

This adds more gossip to the cause of death of this family.

Because most of these things are not discussed publicly, they did not reach the ears of Prince Guo and others at the first time, so they missed the news.

By the time Prince Guo and Fu Heng left the palace and returned home, the fire of gossip could no longer be extinguished.

"Do you know? It's the Emperor's adopted daughter, Princess Huanzhu. Oh, she's the one who burned Fulun's family to death."

"How is that possible? They have nothing to do with each other."

"You don't know this, right? With that loser Falcon, they have a very close relationship!" The man said, looking at his classmates at the same table with an ambiguous look.

Everyone understood what was going on, and all of them revealed obscene smiles: "Really? Tell me, I didn't expect that loser to have such good fortune?"

The gossip became more and more outrageous, even the descriptions of the moles on Ziwei's body were made with detail, as if they had seen them with their own eyes.

According to insiders, this was all Fu Erkang's boasting when he was drunk. Fu Erkang often shouted that he looked down on the prostitutes in brothels and that only princesses were worthy of serving him.

"So Princess Huanzhu turned from love to hate?"

"What? That loser was at least a handsome man and a person of some note before, otherwise the princess wouldn't have favored him. It's a pity that he's now useless. For the sake of her own reputation, the princess has to silence him."

"What? You're not right. I know Princess Huanzhu wanted to marry someone else, and she was afraid that that loser would tell others about their affair, so she silenced him."

"In the end, it's just because I despise that loser from the Fu family!"

"Tsk, even I wouldn't like it."

"But this princess isn't a good person either. After all, she comes from the common people and is not decent."

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you talking about? You look down on the common people. Our common girls are not like this princess."

"Hey? What do you mean by 'folk princess'? Don't you know? This princess is the current emperor's illegitimate daughter. Otherwise, why would he have the time to adopt her as his adopted daughter? She's just the product of a one-night stand!"

"No wonder she could do such a thing, it turns out she takes after her mother."

Everyone burst into malicious laughter.

Xiaoyanzi couldn't hold it in any longer and overturned the table of the group of people: "What are you spouting nonsense about here!"

"Are you sick? Do you want to die?"

"Little Swallow!" Liu Qing and Liu Hong rushed forward to stop her. "Little Swallow! Didn't I tell you not to come to the front? Go back to the backyard!"

"Sir, I'm sorry, my sister has a problem with her brain. I'll serve you another table and compensate you with two jars of good wine. I hope you will forgive me!"

Hearing Liu Qing's words, the man shouted, "What's the point of compensation? If she's crazy, just keep an eye on her. It's bad luck to come and have a good meal!"

"Come on, let's go to another restaurant!"

"Oh, I'm really sorry." Liu Qing bowed deeply.

He then looked at the other guests and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for scaring you all. We will serve you a dish to calm you down today. I hope you will understand."

Xiaoyanzi wanted to curse, but Liu Hong quickly covered her mouth and dragged her to the backyard.
