The most important thing is... because of her, the Princess remains unharmed.
But the Princess trusts her so much, Qiao’er doesn’t want to lie.
Seeing those clear eyes, she bit her teeth and steeled her heart, nodding, "Yes! The Princess guessed it right! It’s this servant’s foolishness that harmed the Second Mistress!
But... thinking back now, this servant doesn’t regret it! If not for her, the one suffering now would be the Princess! Let this servant be a fool, Princess, don’t ask anymore!"
All attention was focused on Qiao’er, and no one noticed the Holy Daughter, who hadn’t spoken since the man began confessing.
Even the man beside the Holy Daughter was the same.
He listened carefully to the conversation between that girl Qiao’er and the Great Xia Princess, trying to find an excuse to pass the blame.
Who would have thought the woman suddenly collapsed onto him.
The man was scared to death at that moment!
This woman was truly reprehensible! On the bed, she pretended to be so pure and chaste, yet dared to act like this in front of the General?!
He shook his shoulder and threw the Holy Daughter off.
With a ’thud’ sound, the Holy Daughter hit the ground directly.
When everyone looked over, they found the Holy Daughter bleeding from her seven orifices, already dead...
For a moment, screams echoed throughout the courtyard.
Yelyu Lie’s furious roar silenced them, "Haven’t you ever seen a dead person, damn it?"
The maids in the courtyard wanted to say, they really hadn’t, especially not one who died so horrifyingly! Terrifying, wailing!
But they didn’t dare, looking at the General’s face, they could only suppress their inner panic.
As for their General, without caring about anyone else, he immediately grabbed his little wife into his embrace from Qiao’er’s side and covered her eyes.
"Nuannuan, don’t inquire about this matter any further, okay? If you feel upset about Lian Qiao, anytime you want to go, I’ll accompany you."
The sudden death of the Holy Daughter made Yun Chunnuan’s heart pound uncontrollably.
Her face was pale, but she nodded under the expectant gaze of the Barbarian General.
This matter... seems... no longer just because that Holy Daughter disliked her and persecuted her!
There’s a bigger conspiracy involved!
Yun Chunnuan knew very well this conspiracy was beyond her control.
But one thing she must say, "Investigate that Wu’er, she’s not simple."
Yelyu Lie glanced at Qiao’er and nodded.
Afterwards, he ordered the Holy Daughter’s body to be carried out of the courtyard, and the man wailing like a ghost, they knocked him out directly for fear of frightening his little wife.
Once the courtyard was tidied up again, Yelyu Lie noticed Aunt Ye had been looking terrified the whole time.
He stepped forward, and the woman’s body became like a sieve.
As soon as he spoke, Aunt Ye was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, "Spare me, General! This old servant only spoke the truth, never intending to frame Qiao’er! This old servant was just afraid that girl really had a problem, the Madam is kind-hearted..."
"Stand up and speak."
Yelyu Lie’s voice wasn’t gentle, but it was calm, "You did well. Had you covered up Qiao’er’s actions today, you would be the one dragged away."
He wouldn’t allow any danger near his little wife.
If Aunt Ye had lied to protect Qiao’er, she couldn’t stay either.
Aunt Ye was taken aback, and said eagerly, "But won’t the Madam blame this old servant? After all, that girl Qiao’er is innocent. This old servant just didn’t dare to lie and didn’t think too much..."
"Aunt Ye, being overly clever isn’t allowed either."
After speaking, he left, leaving Aunt Ye and the few shivering young maids in the courtyard.
Being overly clever...
Aunt Ye smiled bitterly, she was just a servant, keeping herself alive was more important than anything.
Who could have thought that after the Great Xia Princess arrived, the General Mansion would be so tumultuous?
She merely wanted to rely on serving the General for a long time to seek a Death Exemption Token.
Unexpectedly, the General truly protected his wife!
He didn’t promise whether the Madam would blame her or drive her away, everything depended on the Great Xia Princess’s will...
In the room, Qiao’er followed the Little Princess inside.
Before she could speak, the one who was soft just now suddenly became stern the moment the door closed, "Qiao’er, do you realize your mistake?"
Qiao’er was taken aback...
She didn’t understand at all what had happened, why the Princess suddenly became so serious.
But, she was wrong, no matter what the Princess said was wrong, she was wrong!
Qiao’er’s knees went soft, just as she was about to kneel, she heard the sharp rebuke in her ears, "How many times have I told you, be open and aboveboard! I, Yun Chunnuan, don’t need a spineless person! Nor do I need a Holy Mother!"
