After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Jade and gold products cannot be damaged by fire, so the gold crown was only covered with a layer of ash, and was intact. Hidden between the jade and agate was the jade hairpin engraved with a flying kite.

He pulled out the hairpin and held it in his palm. Finally, he couldn't help but looked up and cried bitterly, crying his heart out.

This was the scene that Nian Susu saw when he arrived.

She had never seen Xiao Jianting so out of control, and for a moment she didn't know whether to get closer. She held onto the door frame, her eyes falling on the charred corpse. Even though she knew it was fake, her heart still ached.

The dummy was made and burned by her own hands, yet she couldn't bear to look at it, let alone Xiao Jianting, who really believed that it was Li Yaoyuan.

Nian Susu originally wanted to leave and give Xiao Jianting a chance to say goodbye to "Li Yaoyuan", but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a man in black behind the roof, staring at them stealthily.

Thinking back to when she was in Xiao Mansion, Nian Qiao Yue stared at her from time to time, afraid to miss any expression on her face, she had reason to suspect that it was Prince Ren's man.

Prince Ren was suspicious about Li Yaoyuan's death, and she tricked Nian Qiaoyue. These two people must have wanted to verify whether the dead person was really Li Yaoyuan, so they sent people to keep an eye on her.

Nian Susu clenched his fists, ready to start acting.

She walked towards Xiao Jianting with one foot deep and one foot shallow, her eyes fixed on the corpse on the ground. Her eyes were full of shock, her lips trembling, and tears falling like beads from a broken string.

"Zhizhi..."

She cried out with sobs, then threw herself beside the corpse and began to cry.

The cries of the two people rose one after another, echoing in every corner of the South Courtyard.

Xiao Yunzheng also arrived and looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief. No matter how much she disbelieved what the Xiao family guards said, now seeing her elder brother and Nian Susu crying like this, she knew that the facts were as she thought.

She staggered to Xiao Jianting's back, unable to bear looking at the unrecognizable corpse. She turned her face to the side and patted his back gently, "Brother... accept my condolences..."

The three of them burst into tears.

Gradually, my tears dried up.

Xiao Jianting held the hairpin in his hand, his entire body looking like a dead tree. He stared at the corpse in a daze, muttering, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Xiao Yunzheng didn't know what to say to comfort him. Nian Susu was crying next to her, and she turned out to be the most stable one.

Nian Susu gritted his teeth and glared at Xiao Jianting, enduring for a long time. After he said "I'm sorry" several times, he slapped him in the face.

The crisp sound of slapping stopped all other sounds.

Xiao Jianting's gaze slowly moved to her face, seeming puzzled.

"You killed her." Nian Susu said angrily, "If you hadn't asked the emperor for permission to take her as a concubine, she wouldn't have been forced to commit suicide by you! You forced her to death!"

Nian Susu's face was cold and heartless, "You don't deserve to say sorry to her, you don't deserve to see her for the last time."

She spoke each word with great emphasis, and each word cut into Xiao Jianting's heart, making him breathless: "Xiao Jianting, it was you who forced Li Yaoyuan to death."

"That's enough!" Xiao Yunzheng interrupted her, "Brother is already sad enough, you... do you really have to say this now!"

Xiao Yunzheng herself was also very conflicted. She thought that what Nian Susu said was not wrong, but she could not bear to see her brother, who had always been upright and upright, collapse in front of her and be trampled upon by others.

She supported Xiao Jianting and begged Nian Susu in a soft voice: "Lingling, I beg you, don't say these words here to hurt him, okay?"

Nian Susu wiped away her tears, her eyes became firm, "She's already dead, there's no point in saying more. I won't forgive you, and neither will she."

Xiao Jianting's eyes turned red and he suddenly burst into laughter.

After laughing, he said sadly: "Yes... She will never forgive me... I will never forgive myself..."

He held the hairpin in his hand, stood up and left, his steps unsteady and his back lonely.

After taking only three steps, his body tilted and he fell to the ground.

Nian Susu subconsciously wanted to rush over to save people, but when she thought of the people on the roof, she held back.

Xiao Yunzheng ran over and saw Xiao Jianting unconscious. She quickly called for help and carried Xiao Jianting back to the Xiao Mansion.

After a period of panic, the South Courtyard returned to calm.

Nian Susu knelt in front of the corpse and muttered to himself, "You won't blame me for taking the initiative and saying those hurtful words to him, right?"

"He and you are not destined to be together after all. Since there is no possibility anymore, it is better to let him give up completely, so that the deceased can rest in peace and the living can torture themselves."

She carefully took off the silver bracelet on the corpse's wrist, which was covered with a layer of black ash. She wiped it clean and it was now clean.

She put the bracelet away and said, "Zhizhi, you can leave without worry. I will take care of the rest."

Nian Susu sighed heavily and felt the gaze above her head disappear. She covered herself with the white cloth, wiped away her tears, and there was no sadness on her face anymore.

She left the South Courtyard with a cold face.

Xiao Mansion.

When General Xiao heard about what happened to the Li family, he hurried back to the front yard from the backyard.

At this time, Xiao Jianting had left for a while, and only Qin Junyu and Xiao Helin were in charge of the situation.

Although no one mentioned the Li family, the atmosphere was clearly wrong. When they saw General Xiao, everyone looked at him with different eyes and stared at him closely.

General Xiao came in front of Qin Junyu under all kinds of gazes.

Xiao Helin's face looked heavy and he didn't dare to look up at his father.

The eldest brother and the younger sister rushed out without caring and went to Li's house to look for someone. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but his father had repeatedly warned him not to let his eldest brother leave. He didn't do well and was ashamed to face his father.

But General Xiao did not scold him, nor did he get angry. Instead, he calmly asked Qin Junyu: "Your Highness, is Miss Li's story... true?"

He listened to the guard's hurried report, who spoke haltingly. He guessed the general idea, but did not dare to believe it, so he had to ask Qin Junyu.

Qin Junyu remained calm and said, "Uncle Xiao, please be patient. The person who went to get the news will be back soon."

How could he feel at ease if Xiao Jianting rushed out like this? So he sent a few people from the Xiao Mansion to follow him, and his shadow guards also protected him in secret.

If nothing unexpected happens, the people from the Xiao Mansion will be back soon.

In the blink of an eye, a guard from the Xiao Mansion really came in with his head down. His face was solemn, and after aiming at his target, he hurried over.

Coming before General Xiao, he clasped his fists and said, "General, it has been confirmed that Miss Li did hang herself, and you have personally seen the body. You couldn't bear it for a moment and fainted. Miss has ordered someone to carry him back to the mansion, and he is now resting in his room."

Everyone gasped. They didn't expect that Li Yaoyuan actually hanged herself the night before her wedding. Xiao Jianting couldn't accept the fact and fainted.

Today was the day he was going to marry Wang Yuejiao! Li Yaoyuan was still a young lady of the Li family before she even married into the family, but Xiao Jianting abandoned his newlywed wife in front of so many people to see a corpse. How shocking!
