I just want to rob you of your luck

Xiao Zijie stopped and looked at Lin Jiuer with mixed emotions, thinking that she had something else to say to him.

It was because he took in Qu Rouer but missed out on such a good woman, and now he regrets it inexpressibly.

Lin Jiuer looked at the princess: "Your Highness, I wonder what crime the officials of this dynasty are guilty of when they kill innocent people?"

Before the princess could speak, Rong Qingchen's magnetic voice came: "Officials of the current dynasty who killed innocent people should be dismissed and exiled according to the law."

Xiao Zijie's face suddenly turned pale and he looked at Lin Jiuer in disbelief. He didn't expect things to turn out like this, nor did he expect Lin Jiuer to show him no mercy at all.

The princess nodded and said, "After all, this matter involves several lives, so let's hand it over to the Dali Temple for investigation. The Dali Temple will certainly not wrongly accuse anyone. I'd like to trouble General Xiao and Miss Qu to cooperate with the investigation."

So the princess sent her men to escort Xiao Zijie, Qu Rouer and the beggar to the Dali Temple to report the case.

The people watching outside didn't know what was going on, and some of them just wanted to join in the fun, so they followed him to the Dali Temple.

After hearing the beggar's report, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that this seemingly weak Miss Qu was actually such a person.

Just now they all blamed Lin Jiuer wrongly. She was the one who started it all and caused General Xiao to lose several lives because of her.

Many people secretly called her a slut, a jinx, and a troublemaker. Qu Rouer's reputation was completely ruined.

In the Lin Mansion, Lin Jiuer stood up and bowed deeply to the eldest princess.

“Your Highness, even though I was wrongly accused in this matter, it still has a bad impact. I know that this will also affect the reputation of the prince who I am engaged to and even the Jingyuan Marquisate.

If you feel it is inappropriate, the marriage can be cancelled and I won’t have any complaints.”

Rong Qingchen was a little anxious and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the eldest princess.

She walked straight to Lin Jiuer, took off a jade bracelet of very good quality from her hand and put it on Lin Jiuer's hand.

"As a business woman, you are neither humble nor overbearing in front of me. You can fight back against those who framed you with reason and evidence instead of just giving in and forbearing. I like your personality!"

Rong Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief and raised the corners of his lips. It was not easy to get his mother to praise him. It seemed that his mother really liked Jiuer.

Lin Jiuer stared at the eldest princess blankly, so she somehow won the eldest princess's favor?

As expected, she is lucky when the male and female protagonists are unlucky.

The eldest princess glanced at her son, and there seemed to be a hint of disgust in her phoenix eyes.

Then he said, "As for you, marrying my son is a bit unfair to you. You also know that he has done a lot of bad things in the past. If you are forced to marry him, just tell me, I won't force you."

Rong Qingchen: Is this his biological mother? How can she say that about her own son!

He was really afraid that Lin Jiuer would go back on her word, so he quickly looked at Lin Jiuer.

Lin Jiuer suddenly chuckled: "Your Highness, I am willing to marry Prince Rong. There is no coercion."

The princess smiled and nodded: "That's good, then you can't regret it in the future. After you marry me, any mess he makes next time will be solved by you.

During this time, I will lock him up at home to learn the rules, and strive to serve you well in the future and not cause you any trouble."

Rong Qingchen: ??? Are you sure? She is marrying a wife, not getting married!

Lin Jiuer was frowning. Why did she feel like she had taken over a big trouble?

Otherwise, why would the princess look so relieved?

After the show, the eldest princess got up and prepared to return home. Rong Qingchen was still planning to stay and explain to Lin Jiuer that he was really not as the rumors said.

As a result, the eldest princess grabbed his ears and dragged him back to learn the rules.

Lin Jiuer didn't expect that the eldest princess and Rong Qingchen would get along in this way. She was a little amused and helpless.

However, it seems that the eldest princess is not as moody and bad-tempered as the outside world says, but she is a woman of great courage and insight.

She must have seen through Qu Rouer's true nature a long time ago, and she didn't expose her because she wanted to see how she would deal with the challenge.

Looking at the emerald green jade bracelet on her wrist, Lin Jiuer thought that she had passed the test.

After a busy morning, Lin Jiuer returned to her room and couldn't wait to open the system task panel.

Her eyes widened and she burst into laughter when she saw the progress bar above.

The system task progress bar has reached 60%, great!

Qu Rouer's commotion was really a godsend, and her stock increased by 20% immediately.

It seems that all the previous plans were not in vain. As long as we find the right direction, the task progress will increase rapidly.

In the afternoon, Yao came back and heard about the princess coming to the Lin Mansion. Looking at the jade bracelet on Lin Jiuer's hand, Yao said happily:

"My Jiu'er is loved by everyone. She is so capable that she even won over the eldest princess. Judging from the quality of this bracelet, it may have been left to her by the Queen Mother. You must keep it well and pass it on to your children in the future."

Why does Lin Jiuer feel like something is wrong?

"Mom, have you forgotten that Rong Shizi and I have an engagement? I will definitely return this bracelet to him when I leave in the future."

Yao coughed and quickly changed the subject: "Ah, yes, I forgot. Oh, by the way, tomorrow night is the Lantern Festival. You can go shopping. Didn't you love watching lanterns the most in the past?"

Lin Jiuer's eyes lit up. Now that the issues between Qu Rouer and Xiao Zijie were resolved, she felt relieved.

The Lantern Festival must be interesting and she really wanted to go and see it.

"Okay, I'll go out and take a look tomorrow night."

"By the way, take a few guards with you when you go out to avoid danger from crowds."

"I understand, mother."

"By the way, mother, I remember that you also like to watch lanterns. Why don't you ask Uncle An to go to the Lantern Festival with you?"

Yao was stunned. She didn't expect her daughter to say such words to her. She looked at Lin Jiuer angrily and said, "Forget it. Mother won't join in the fun."

There was no conversation that night. Lin Jiuer slept well and didn't even have any dreams.

At noon the next day, Xiao Yun said with a happy face: "Miss, do you know, I heard that Qu Rou'er was sentenced to exile to the southwest, and she is probably on her way today."

Lin Jiuer asked with interest: "Oh? What about Xiao Zijie?"

"As for him, I heard that those beggars who were killed had also committed other illegal things. His Majesty, considering his military achievements, only demoted him to the sixth rank of guard and arranged him to work in the camp outside the capital. However, the general's mansion was taken back to the court."

Lin Jiuer nodded. She also felt that if the sentence was too harsh, it would discourage the soldiers on the border.

However, such a verdict is already a big blow to Xiao Zijie.

He originally joined the barracks because of his courage and hard work, and with the financial support of the Lin family, it can be said that he went smoothly and was quickly promoted to the position of a fourth-rank general.

Now he has been demoted by the emperor himself, and without the Lin family's support behind him, I'm afraid his life will end here.

In the evening, Lin Jiuer finished dinner with Yao, and left the Lin Mansion with Xiaoyun and four guards.

In a carriage not far from the Lin Mansion, a woman looked at Lin Jiuer's back with resentment.

"Have we arranged our people? We can start now!"
