After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

"No... No!" Xiahou Jing screamed, "You are clearly having an affair with Xia Nian! My servants saw you being intimate with him by the lake!"

Xia Nian immediately said, "Madam Xiahou, you need to explain clearly what you said. When did you see it?"

"It was the day before yesterday!" Xiahou Jing panted and managed to raise the corners of her mouth, "I have witnesses."

Ding Zhuang hurried in from outside and knelt on the ground: "I testify that I did see Miss Xia with this man."

Xia Nian was not in a hurry. She raised her voice to make sure that everyone present could hear: "The day before yesterday, Xia Houyu and I were in Zhan Yue Tang. Everyone in the hall can testify to this. If I was really with this man, Xia Houyu, as the heir of Zhan Yue Tang, would not protect me!"

"Besides, if I really had a relationship with this man, then why did he appear in your room now and accuse you of forcing him?" She changed the subject and swept a sharp gaze over Xiahou Jing.

"That day, Anian and I were in Zhan Yue Tang." Xiahou Yu stared at her, "Are you trying to frame the future mistress of the Xiahou family after seeing the truth exposed?!"

Xiahou Jing's eyes were bloodshot and she shouted, "Yesterday this guy came to tell me that he was going to take Xia Nian away today and asked me to prepare a fake death drug!"

She smiled sarcastically: "Who is the mistress? I am the mistress of the Xiahou family!!!"

Xia Nian ignored her madness and said, "If that's the case, then where's the fake death drug? I've never met this young master before, why did he take me away? And why did he suddenly want to accuse you?!"

She smiled and said, "Besides, to put it in a more materialistic way, the Xiahou family is so powerful, and as Xiahou Yu's wife, my status is above everyone else. Why should I leave him?"

"Could it be that you failed to force this young master, and you turned the tables on me after the truth was revealed, hoping that I would be misunderstood by Xia Houyu?"

Xiahou Jing panted and walked towards her step by step with red eyes.

"Xia Nian, do you think that without me, you can become the head of the Xiahou family?!"

Suddenly, she rushed towards Xia Nian like crazy, but was kicked to the ground by Xia Hou Yu.

"Xiahou Yu! You dare to hit me?!" Xiahou Jing said in disbelief.

Xiahou Yu's face was extremely cold: "You tried to murder the wife of a cabinet official. Everyone present saw it. Moreover, you just tried to frame her! This kick is considered a light one!"

The people behind were whispering, and Grandpa Qin stepped forward and said, "Master Xiahou, this matter..."

"Don't be anxious." Xiahou Yu said, turning to look at Xiahou Jing.

At this time, she was sitting on the ground, trembling while grabbing Granny Li who came to help her.

She tried desperately to think about what was going on. Why did she become disheveled when she woke up? The young master who said he would serve her well yesterday changed his behavior today and even bit her back!

She raised her eyes and saw the cool white color in front of her. She immediately understood the whole story.

"Xia Nian...it's you! You framed me!" She yelled, her face becoming hideous with anger and her facial features distorted.

Xia Nian remained calm and said, "Why would I frame you? If this young master really had something to do with me, why did you ask him to come to your house in the middle of the night? And why did you say you wanted to give him a fake death drug?"

"There are only two reasons. You want him to take me away and let Xiahou Yu marry someone else, or you want to frame me and let Xiahou Yu divorce me."

Xiahou Jing paused and kept swallowing saliva.

She understood that she had fallen into a trap.

Xia Nian looked at Qi Sheng who came from the inner room and asked, "Have you found the fake death drug?"

Qi Sheng shook his head and said, "Madam, there is no such thing as a fake death drug."

"Look, since there is no fake death drug, it proves that what you said at the beginning about me faking my death and elope with him today was a lie." Xia Nian said, with a scornful smile on his face, "Do you want Xia Houyu to misunderstand me?"

Xia Houjing pressed her hands against the floor with exhaustion, her mind spinning wildly: there was no evidence, her story was incomplete, and the certification was useless. She had actually fallen into the trap Xia Nian had set for her! !

Fu Nian said at the right time: "Young Master Madam, please make the decision for me."

His words reminded the people from the Qin family behind him that Xiahou family was now headed by Xiahou Yu, so they didn't need to be too afraid of Xiahou Jing.

Hearing the condemnation from behind, Xiahou Yu said, "Xiahou Jing, you did such a dirty thing on the day of offering incense to your uncle, and even forced a man to frame a woman from the cabinet."

He slowly turned his dark eyes towards her and said, "According to the Xiahou family rules, you have to go to Ju'an Temple to eat vegetarian food and kneel before the Buddha for ten years."

After these words were spoken, the discussion among the people behind them gradually died down.

Since the matter concerned the Xiahou family and the Qin family, it could not be brought to court and could only be handled privately. They were satisfied with this result.

This punishment looks like house arrest, but it is not. Once you arrive at Ju'an Temple, you are not allowed to bring any servants. You have to get up at dawn every day and kneel down to the Buddha. You are not allowed to eat any oily food and can only eat two meals a day. Even the water you drink is measured.

"What... No! No! I didn't do these things! It was her!" Xia Houjing pointed at Xia Nian, "She did all this!"

Xia Nian argued: "Why do you say that? What is the purpose of my doing these things? Where is the evidence?"

Xiahou Jing pointed at Ding Zhuang again and said, "Witness! Someone must have seen you two walking together by the lake!"

"Oh, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it." Xiahou Yu said, "If you testify recklessly, you will be beheaded."

Ding Zhuang immediately began to tremble like a sieve, unable to speak clearly: "No, no! I really saw it!"

No one paid any attention to him. He immediately understood the situation and changed his words immediately: "Xia Hou Jing asked me to do this. It's all her fault!"

"What..." Xiahou Jing looked at him in disbelief. The master-servant friendship of more than ten years was not worth mentioning in the face of life and death.

The scene was truly exciting. Xiahou Jing had no chance of turning around. However, Qin Hanlin, who had remained silent, felt something was wrong.

But she would not raise any questions. Like the other members of the Qin family, she hoped that Xiahou Jing would be punished.

Xiahou Yu said: "Okay, execute it now, so that my uncle's soul can rest in peace."

After hearing this, all the Qin family members sighed.

They have known Xiahou Jing's character for years, but they have neither the courage nor the strength to challenge her. Now there is finally someone who can deal with her. Regardless of the truth, they all hope that Xiahou Jing will be punished.

"We should have thrown you into the government, but considering the reputation of this young master and the reputation of the Xiahou and Qin families, we will let you off the hook," Xia Nian said.

Xiahou Yu waved his hand, Qi Sheng stepped forward, picked up Ding Zhuang and walked out, and someone came up from behind and lifted Xiahou Jing up.

Xiahou Jing struggled desperately: "Why do you punish me privately? Let all the clan members come and judge for themselves!"

Xiahou Yu laughed out loud: "You did such a shameful thing, and you still let your relatives come to see you laugh at you." He took a few steps forward and looked down at her, "I am the head of the Xiahou family now. As a cabinet official, I have the right to question you."

After he finished speaking, he leaned forward and said in a very cold tone, "You wanted to frame Ah Nian, I'm already showing you mercy by sparing your life, so you better behave yourself."

After saying that, he stood up and stepped back, hugging Xia Nian's waist as usual.

"Xiahou Yu! Xia Nian! You will not die well!" Xiahou Jing cursed, her voice as sharp as an evil ghost demanding revenge.

"You... I have worked hard for the Xiahou family for half my life, and you treat me like this!" Xiahou Jing accused, with tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

Xiahou Yu said: "I won't tell you what you did behind my back. You have no shame, but the Xiahou family still wants you!"

With that, she was dragged away, the cursing becoming quieter and quieter.

The people around her, Ding Zhuang and Li Po Po, were beheaded, and the rest were sent to do menial labor.

The people of the Qin family sighed in the background. They didn't expect that the situation would be reversed in one day and Xiahou Jing would finally step down.

Xiahou Yu turned around and said to the Qin family, "I'm sorry, everyone, for seeing such a joke. We can't delay the day of offering incense to my uncle. Let's go."

After saying that, he looked at Fu Nian and said, "Go down and get a few dozen taels of silver."

Fu Nian came back to his senses and said in a crying voice: "Okay..."

Xiahou Yu and Xia Nian held hands and followed the group.

"Anian, the plan was a perfect success." He leaned in and whispered.

Xia Nian smiled slightly: "No surprises, as expected."
