Xue Mingyue said "oh" in her heart, so this was her purpose.

Accusing her of being unfilial in public? Being cold-hearted?

She was genuinely confused by this, and didn't understand who had come up with this method that would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt herself by eight hundred... Oh no, this method that would hurt the enemy zero and hurt herself by a thousand?

Standing in the middle of the street, Xu Yingying made these accusations with full emotion and intonation, which did not look fake at all.

After hearing this, the onlookers vaguely guessed the identity of the person in the carriage.

Apart from the Fourth Prince's affairs that have been causing a lot of noise in the capital recently, the only other issue that has been concerning the wife of Marquis Dingyuan.

I heard that her biological father was arrested by Marquis Dingyuan and thrown into prison, but not only did she not plead for him, she also severed all ties with him. If that were the case, it would have been fine, but she recently took it upon herself to go to the clan's land and move her mother's grave.

When it comes to the Dingyuan Marquis family, the people of Yongji City are very familiar with it.

After all, this Miss Xue caused a lot of trouble before and after her marriage.

There was a period of time before when people on the streets were talking about the mess between her and Marquis Dingyuan.

But what impressed them most was the recent period when Xie Lang, Marquis of Dingyuan, had thrown the entire city into a state of panic because of her, fearing that the imperial guards would stop at their doorstep one day.

The more afraid he was of Xie Lang, the more impressed he was with Xue Mingyue.

At that time, most people hoped that Xie Lang would find her as soon as possible. Really, please stop going crazy.

As these two stories spread, more and more gossip about her life experience emerged from all directions.

For example, it is said that her mother did not die of illness.

For example, she has always been in poor health because when she was a child, she was pushed into a river in the middle of winter by her father and her stepmother who had not yet married into the family.

Some people even said that the reason she hadn't appeared in the outside world in all these years was because she was locked up by her father.

In short, after discovering the identity of the people in the carriage, those who were originally not interested also stayed, wanting to see how the rumored wife of Marquis Dingyuan would respond today.

Xue Mingyue’s response... was no response.

She ordered the guards to drag Xu Yingying away, and when the road was clear, she asked the coachman to drive the carriage away again. The wheels rolled over the ground, leaving only a back view to others.

——Aniang taught her since she was young not to play with fools.

Xu Yingying was stunned at first when she didn't get any response, and then she was so angry that her eyes were blazing with anger. How dare she ignore her? !

I felt like my face was thrown to the ground and run over by the wheels.

His face turned blue and white.

The people waiting around were also confused, but then they thought, that was the wife of Marquis Dingyuan, so she would naturally not take anyone who stopped her car seriously, no matter who she was called Xu Yingying or Zhao Yingying, she was just a commoner after all.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the people immediately dispersed like the tide.

Xu Yingying looked at the receding carriage anxiously and unwillingly, bit her lip, and wanted to do something else, but was stopped by the guards. She could only curse Xue Mingyue in her heart.

The plan failed.

After the carriage disappeared, Xu Yingying turned to look at the guards and yelled, "Let me go! Do you know who my grandfather is?"

The guard had a blank expression on his face and did not move.

Xu Yingying vaguely realized something from their attitude, and her pupils shrank slightly. It was at this moment that she suddenly remembered that these guards were from Dingyuan Marquis Mansion...that is, Xie Lang's people.

Her face suddenly turned pale.

"Miss Xu, please come with us to the Imperial Prison."

After saying this, without giving her a chance to speak, the two men knocked her out and took her away.

After they left, the window of the box on the second floor of the teahouse facing the street was also closed. The young man in the purple brocade robe withdrew his gaze, his expression somewhat uncertain, and he snorted: "I thought he was smart, but he turned out to be stupid."

"Third Prince, then, are we going to rescue Miss Xu?"

The person serving beside asked tentatively.

After all, once they are sent to the imperial prison, they will definitely not be able to bear the punishment and will definitely give them up.

Xiao Chang shook his head: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have obtained the information I wanted to test. Even if she tells me, what does it matter? I don't believe that Xie Lang dares to arrest another prince and put him in the imperial prison."

...

"Miss, why did you stop me from going down to deal with her just now?"

In the carriage, Liu Xing was tossing and turning in anger.

She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she said, "That mouth speaks so harshly! I wish I could get out of the car and tear her mouth to pieces. Let's see if she dares to talk nonsense again in the future!"

Xue Mingyue held the hand warmer which was no longer too hot.

He glanced at her and said calmly: "Why do you bother with her? She is just asking for trouble."

Xu Yingying was obviously being used as a gun. What she said in the street seemed to lead the people to believe that she was a cold-blooded and unfilial person, but what good could her words alone do?

"Don't forget, His Majesty has long known about our family affairs."

No matter how much Xu Yingying speaks, will the people believe her or the emperor?

There is no doubt that it must be the emperor!

Xue Mingyue was not at all panicked. As long as Emperor Jingping had not fallen, what he acknowledged would also be acknowledged by the people. Xue Xujun was already a useless chess piece to the emperor, so naturally he would not protect his face anymore.

What happened to her was all true, and even the emperor couldn't say anything.

The most 'outrageous' thing she had done these days was to move her mother's grave, but so what?

Xue Mingyue lazily leaned her head on the cushion and hummed casually: "Besides, Xie Jinglan will be able to get Xue Xujun's divorce letter for me soon, so what reason does my mother have to stay in the Xue family's ancestral tomb?"

Besides, no matter who instructed Xu Yingying to do this, Xie Lang would definitely investigate.

All the guards around her are Xie Lang's men.

I believe the news will soon reach the guards.

Liu Xing scratched the back of his head.

I didn't understand why she suddenly mentioned the Marquis, but seeing that the young lady didn't intend to explain further, I had to pretend to understand: "Yes!"

...

Just as she had guessed, Xie Lang soon heard the news in the imperial prison.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Yingying was taken to the imperial prison.

In less than half an incense stick of time, she confessed everything. Even the person interrogating her was not Xie Lang. A random guard pried open her mouth and handed the confession to Xie Lang's desk.

The third prince, Xiao Chang.

Xie Lang lowered his eyes and glanced at the name, without showing any surprise.

No matter in his previous life or in this life, Xiao Chang has always been extremely ambitious, but he has kept his ambitions low because of the Second Prince ahead of him.

And now, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
