The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

"try to find……?"

Xue Jinhua opened her red lips and smiled sweetly, her eyebrows and eyes dancing like butterflies, "The net of heaven is vast and wide, nothing can escape it. The Xue family has been entrenched in the south for many years, so there will always be mistakes."

If the Xue family loses the support of the big tree of financial resources, many problems will naturally be solved.

"So, Madam already has irrefutable evidence?"

"The South is not Kyoto. Even if we have evidence, we can't get it back."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gazed at her bright and yet extremely determined face. Her almond-shaped eyes seemed to be burning with raging fire. His heart couldn't help but tremble, as if a stone was thrown into the calm lake, causing ripples.

Although his heart was in a tangle of confusion, he remained calm on the surface. "Madam, the Xue family is your family after all. How can I trust you?"

"Even if that account book can't shake the entire Xue family, it shouldn't be a problem to take the life of the second Xue brother, right?" Xue Jinhua lowered her eyes, "He is my biological brother. Could it be that even if I stab a sharp knife into his chest, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still won't believe it?"

The prince remained silent, suspicion clearly written on his face.

Yes, no one would believe that Xue Jinhua could do such a heroic act of sacrificing her own relatives for the sake of justice.

The Xue family is her maternal family, and the Zhao family is her husband's family. The demise of either family would not be a good thing for Xue Jinhua.

But some things become more unconvincing the more you explain them.

Xue Jinhua firmly believes that some things take time to prove.

After a long while, the prince slowly put down the teacup and said, "Madam, if I gain nothing from this trip south, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Deceiving the Crown Prince is a serious crime, and Xue Jinhua is naturally well aware of the consequences.

The Crown Prince was in a heavy mood. He stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly everything went dark before his eyes...

It was as if a dark shadow was rushing towards this side like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

"How dare you! Who dares to offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...?"

Before the man could touch the corner of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's clothes, he was kicked away by the guard beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Ahhhh..."

A shrill scream was heard, obviously from a woman.

Xue Jinhua lowered her head and stared at the person who had fallen against the pillar and then fell down. When she saw his face clearly, she saw a sharp blade with a cold glow already placed on her neck.

"Cousin... help..." Zhou Yeqing felt as if her whole body was falling apart. Before she could come to her senses, she felt a chill on her neck. A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on her back, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She was so terrified that she didn't care about the pain and began to beg for mercy.

Xue Jinhua must know the person in front of him. The prince's eyes fell on Xue Jinhua and he remained silent.

Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, Xue Jinhua immediately understood the reason.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, this person is the concubine's daughter of my aunt. She offended His Royal Highness today. Everything is up to His Royal Highness to deal with."

Zhou Yeqing was stunned. She thought Xue Jinhua would plead for her, but she never expected Xue Jinhua to push her out so heartlessly.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a gloomy expression on his face. He had always hated women, not to mention that the behavior of Zhao Yuting and Xue Qing'er at Huangshan Temple last time had left him with an indelible shadow.

He was extremely disgusted with this kind of woman who came to him on her own initiative and flirted with him...

Almost without thinking, he said sternly: "Drag him away and give him 20 lashes to serve as a warning to others."

Zhou Yeqing's face was ashen, and her lips trembled as she tried to beg for mercy, but her eyes rolled back as if her soul had been taken away, and she fainted.

Only Xue Jinhua's heart was as clear as a mirror. She knew very well that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already given her enough face by not taking her life.

The prince had a cold face and said coldly, "Madam, goodbye."

Before Xue Jinhua could turn around, she heard a scream like a pig being slaughtered coming from the yard.

Not long after, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wang came in a hurry.

Old Madam Zhou watched Zhou Yeqing being beaten horribly, and her anger instantly ignited. She directly scolded Xue Jinhua, "My niece, tell me, what is going on?"

Xue Jinhua shrugged helplessly, her face full of grievance and injustice, "Just as you have seen with your own eyes, my cousin was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he was punished by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Why would you offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for no reason?" Upon hearing this, Wang was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.

Xue Jinhua glanced at Zhou Yeqing, who was lying unconscious on the ground. "This... Mother, you may have to ask my cousin. I just finished talking to the Crown Prince and was about to send him away, but for some reason, my cousin rushed over to me..."

Wang was not stupid. She had a clear mind. Thinking about what her sister did every day, she immediately understood the whole story.

But Mrs. Zhou's face changed, and she turned the tables and said, "Humph, we still treat you as a relative, but when you see your cousin in trouble, not only do you not want to help, but you also make sarcastic remarks here?"

"Aunt, you think too highly of me. The person my cousin offended was not some nobody, but the extremely noble Crown Prince. If you ask me to plead for my cousin, and if the Crown Prince blames her, it won't be as simple as my cousin getting beaten up. By then, I'm afraid the entire Zhao family, and even the Zhou family, will be implicated."

Old Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but sweat beads on her forehead, but deep down she was full of dissatisfaction, thinking that Xue Jinhua was exaggerating. "I'm afraid you don't want to help, so you're making up these things to scare people."

Xue Jinhua's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile, "Am I trying to scare you? Auntie, you can ask mother. The Crown Prince is still unmarried, and there are many women sent by the nobles in Kyoto."

"A few days ago, the Minister of War sent a beauty over, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't even look at her. He directly ordered his men to break the beauty's legs and gouge out her eyes. A few days later, the Minister of War's family was exiled."

"Aunt, if you still want to argue with me, why don't you think about what the Zhou family should do next?"

Old Mrs. Zhou was completely shocked. She never expected that things would be so serious.

Xue Jinhua turned her gaze to Wang again, "Mother, you should persuade your aunt. Although my cousin is beautiful, she is of low status after all. How can she be worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? To offend the Crown Prince for a mere concubine's daughter, does the Zhao family not want to continue to have a foothold in Kyoto?"

Wang's face was tense, and her anger towards her sister soared.

However, since Xue Jinhua was right in front of her, she had to suppress her anger and not let it out.

After Xue Jinhua left, she could no longer hold back and angrily scolded, "My dear sister, you actually harbor such dirty thoughts? I really underestimated you. You, a shameless bastard, actually wanted to marry the Crown Prince. Is she worthy?"

She said that her elder sister was just going out, but she didn't bring her own legitimate daughter with her, but instead brought her illegitimate daughter with her.

It was obvious that she had evil intentions from the beginning.

"How could I possibly have such thoughts? I'm afraid that my concubine has some evil thoughts of her own and is acting on her own."

Wang Shi naturally wouldn't believe it. Old Madam Zhou rolled her eyes and said, "My dear sister, do you really believe what Xue Jinhua said?"

Wang remained silent, which was considered as her agreement.

Old Madam Zhou covered her chest with her hands, her face showing a look of deep pain, and she choked with sobs as she said, "My dear sister, you and I are sisters with a blood relationship! No matter how foolish I am, I will never harm my own sister! If you listened to Xue Jinhua's slander, wouldn't you have fallen into her trap of sowing discord?"

Wang's eyes trembled slightly, and her heart began to waver.

She couldn't help but think of her previous doubts about Xue Jinhua. Could it be true as her sister said?

"In my opinion, Xue Jinhua just wants to scare you. She deliberately makes the matter sound so serious so as to create a rift between you and me and make us sisters become enemies. In this way, she can deal with you unscrupulously. And you... are still foolishly being fooled by her." Old Mrs. Zhou continued to fan the flames.
