Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 250

Chapter 250 Return Of Yun Xiao
When Zhou Jingxu, Zhou Jingchen, and the Imperial Guards returned to the front yard, they saw that Mama Zhao and Mama Hui had already woken up.

The Imperial Guards also invited the doctor back. In this period of time, the doctor was already treating Zhou Jingyan.

He found a clean room in the courtyard and cleaned it up before letting Zhou Jingyan stay inside.

Zhou Jingchen looked at the pots of dirty blood and frowned. Why was there so much blood flowing out of them? This is unbelievable.

“How is Third Highness now?” Zhou Jingchen walked forward and happened to see the doctor bandaging the gauze and putting away his hand.

Zhou Jingxu frowned. There was no fear in his heart. There was only disgust in his heart. No wonder Mu Tou was unwilling to marry him in this life. He must have clearly recognized Zhou Jingyan’s true colors.

When the doctor saw Zhou Jingchen, he immediately bowed respectfully and greeted, “Greetings, Crown Prince.”

After Zhou Jingchen gave him permission to get up, he said, “His Highness the Third Prince’s wound is very deep and has been bandaged. I will prescribe a medicine for His Highness the Third Prince later. After cultivating for a few days, His Highness the Third Prince will be fine.”

Zhou Jingchen nodded and looked at Zhou Jingyan who was lying on the bed. He frowned and thought to himself, Zhou Jingyan’s dizziness was too bad.

However, no matter what he thought in his heart, he would not express it on his face. Only then did he say, “Your Highness the Third Prince’s body may be in a carriage? You can’t let His Highness the Third Prince recover here. You must send him back to the mansion.”

The doctor said with a worried expression, “As long as you pay attention, there’s no harm in the wound. You can put an extra blanket in the carriage, and the carriage will be stable.”

Zhou Jingchen nodded his head and asked someone to give him the consultation fee. Only then did he summon someone to prepare the carriage.

After the imperial guards left, Zhou Jingchen had Mama Zhao and Mama Hui brought back.

Zhou Jingchen’s eyes lit up and his face turned cold. “Tell me, how did those two die in the house today? What exactly happened here today?”

Mama Zhao listened to the icy voice and shuddered. She said hurriedly, “Your Highness Prince, please spare me. I have nothing to do with the old woman’s death.”

“If a person dies in your courtyard, it has nothing to do with you. Who does it have to do with? How dare you, woman? Tell me honestly!” Zhou Jingchen’s pair of sharp eyes stared at Mama Zhao tightly, not missing the horror on her face at all.

“Please spare me, Your Highness Prince. I really didn’t kill him. He was killed by the noble man from before. I saw with my own eyes that he ordered his guards to kill him.” She still felt terrified when she thought of that scene.

“How dare you say such nonsense! If Third Prince’s subordinate wants to kill someone, why would that person go and assassinate Third Prince? Stop talking nonsense!” Zhou Jingchen looked at Mama Zhao with a fake expression.

Zhou Jingxu was slightly curious. It was obvious that as long as this woman confessed that Zhou Jingyan’s men had killed him, then why would the Crown Prince ask such a question?

However, he looked at Zhou Jingchen’s expression and did not interrupt.

When Mama Zhao heard this, her face turned gloomy. “How is that possible? I saw it with my own eyes. I really saw it with my own eyes. That person also has the medicine to destroy the corpse. Ermei’s corpse is gone.” She recalled the scene of the corpse slowly turning into blood and her expression became even more nervous.

Zhou Jingchen’s eyes lit up and his expression became cold. “Tell me everything that happened today honestly.”

Right at this moment, another chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside. These footsteps quickly entered the courtyard.

The Imperial Guards came to report, “Your Highness, the Crown Prince’s people are here.”

Zhou Jingxu frowned slightly. The security in the capital was indeed under the control of the governor of the capital. “Let him in.”

The governor quickly brought a few people in and respectfully greeted Zhou Jingchen and Zhou Jingxu before saying, “Your Highness Prince, please forgive this subordinate for his negligence.”

Zhou Jingchen calmly said, “Stand up. The Third Prince is seriously injured. He was assassinated here. Come with me to try the case.” He didn’t have the slightest intention of taking over.

“Thank you, Your Highness. How is Third Prince now?” The governor glanced inside and could only see a robe leaking from the bed. It was indeed the robe worn by His Highness the Third Prince today.

The two sides talked for a while, and the governor also knew the background of what had happened today, so he hurriedly invited Crown Prince Zhou Jingchen to continue with the trial.

However, Zhou Jingchen curled his lips and smiled, “It’s better for you to try this case. After all, you are the governor of the capital.”

The governor had an ugly expression on his face. He always felt that something was wrong with what happened today. However, as for what was wrong, he couldn’t explain it clearly. However, since the prince was involved, this matter definitely wouldn’t be so good.

If he offended the prince, he didn’t know if his official position could still be preserved.

Originally, he wanted to kick this matter to Zhou Jingchen for trial, but who knew that Zhou Jingchen would push the matter to his own hands again?

How could Zhou Jingchen be so stupid to take this case? If he reported Zhou Jingyan to the Jin Emperor and reported this matter to him, Zhou Jingyan would find a way out. At that time, the Jin Emperor would lose all of his good impressions of him.

It would be best if he could just listen to the case. In this way, the governor wouldn’t dare to do anything about it.

The governor of the capital could not get rid of it, so he had to go to the court to try the case. “Lady, tell me everything you know today.”

Mama Zhao did not expect that she would cause so many things just because she had received some money to do things. If she knew that so many things would happen, she would definitely not agree. Regardless of whether she could escape from this case, she would no longer be able to stay in the capital in the future, and the courtyard would no longer be able to open.

All she wanted now was to be able to save her life.

A burst of pouring beans from Barabara told him everything that had happened in the courtyard today. In short, it was someone else who had given a sum of money to destroy a girl. Then, a series of questions arose. How did Ermei die? Sanmei didn’t know how she died …

After Mama Zhao finished speaking, the governor frowned and shouted, “Since that’s the case, where is the woman now?”

“I don’t know where that woman went. After we brought people into the house, we didn’t see that girl anymore. She ran away by herself.” If that girl was still there, perhaps these things could be solved easily.

Everyone’s brows furrowed tightly together.

At this moment, a few people suddenly came from outside. One of the men walked up excitedly and said, “Mama Zhao, we found this woman. I didn’t expect that she would almost run out of West City in such a short period of time.”

After he finished speaking, he noticed that there were actually so many people in this room. His expression immediately became extremely embarrassed and he nervously said, “This servant has seen a noble person before.”

Everyone did not look at the big man, but at the woman who came in behind the big man.

The woman wore a long purple brocade dress embroidered with exquisite plum blossoms. As the plum blossoms moved, they seemed to bloom as charming as ever. A sachet hung on her white waist, embroidered with the pattern of a couple playing in the water.

His hair was in a messy bun, and there was a gray stain on his exquisite face. Even so, it was difficult to conceal his beauty.

Yun Xiao slowly stepped forward, stood in the middle, and bowed. “Yun Xiao greets His Highness the Crown Prince, the Ninth Prince, and Lord Jing Zhaoyin.”

“Get up,” Zhou Jingchen said loudly. His eyebrows and eyes were glued to Yun Xiao’s face. He didn’t expect that Yun Xiao’s appearance would be even more charming, and her face would be extremely beautiful.

Yun Xiao stood at one side, followed by Qing Mo who greeted everyone and stood beside Yun Xiao.

Zhou Jingchen sized up Yun Xiao and the sudden addition of Qing Mo. “Just now, this mother said that the fourth young miss was sold here. How did the fourth young miss escape here?”

“Report to His Highness the Crown Prince, When the maiden woke up, Seeing that the windowsill was open, So he jumped out of the windowsill, He never thought that he would run into this woman halfway, She asked the maids to serve the noble, The maiden refused, He knocked her out and slipped out of the mansion through the back door. He happened to meet a heroine outside and saved her. After the heroine escaped, he heard that there were officers and soldiers coming to investigate the case and pretended to be captured. Only then did he see His Highness the Crown Prince and the governor. He also asked His Highness the Crown Prince and the lord to uphold justice for the heroine, “Yun Xiao said with tears in her eyes.

With such a pitiful appearance, those who didn’t know Yun Xiao would definitely be tricked by Yun Xiao.

“Fourth Miss Yun, do you know who kidnapped you?” To be able to take a living person from the main street and send him here without telling so many people, this method had to be admired.

Yun Xiao shook her head with a gloomy expression, “I don’t know who the maiden is, but her outer robe was changed.” After she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head and said, “If you know who this dress belongs to, can you know who the murderer is?”

Just as Yun Xiao finished speaking, Zhou Jingxu covered the corner of his lips with a look of a prize-winning little monster. “Eh? I’ve seen this dress before. It seems to belong to county princess Hui Ning. I saw county princess Hui Ning once before.”

After Zhou Jingxu finished speaking, he seemed to think for a moment, then nodded his head seriously and said respectfully, “This dress really belongs to County Lord Hui Ning.”

Hearing Zhou Jingxu’s words, the governor of the capital frowned tightly. Why did he bring the matter out to county princess Hui Ning? “Is His Highness the ninth prince not mistaken?”

Zhou Jingxu snorted coldly, his expression unperturbed, “How can I remember such a thing wrongly? It belongs to county princess Hui Ning.”

The governor hurriedly apologized, which was why Zhou Jingxu was so happy.

At this time, Mama Zhao, who had been kneeling, said, “My lord, I just remembered that the tooth woman who sent the fourth young lady here once said that she was a big shot. She was a county princess. She should be the county princess of Hui Ning.”

“Then who is the tooth woman and where does she live?” The governor hurriedly asked. After Mama Zhao said that, he asked the officers and men to go and arrest him.

After the officers and soldiers left, the governor said with an ugly expression, “Your Highness, it’s just that the assassin is dead now. How can we continue to track down who assassinated the Third Prince?”

Zhou Jingchen thought for a moment before he said, “Since Mama Zhao said that the Third Prince’s guard was ordered to kill someone, Sir, why don’t you draw a portrait of the assassin and go to the Third Prince’s mansion to ask if anyone knows the person in the painting. If that person really is from the Third Prince’s mansion, you can wait for the Third Prince to wake up and ask about it.”

“That’s good.” The governor didn’t have any good ideas. If he knew that this matter was so troublesome, he wouldn’t have run so quickly to investigate the case.

This time, not only was it necessary to investigate county princess Hui Ning, but even the Third Prince was not clean.

Yun Xiao glanced at the crowd’s reaction at this moment, and a trace of sarcasm flashed through her eyes.
