The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

Jiang Wumei woke up quickly.

The two old ladies were taken away, and she woke up slowly after about half an hour.

Xu Junjun, Madam Huo, and a large group of servants stood in front of the bed. As Madam Huo apologized, Jiang Wumei spoke weakly:

"Old lady, don't blame yourself. No one wants such a disaster to happen.

As long as the old lady catches the murderer and punishes him twice as severely, I will explain everything to His Highness after returning home. His Highness is kind-hearted and will not blame him any further."

Jiang Wumei's words were beautiful and sensible. Madam Huo was stunned for a moment, as if she had not expected Jiang Wumei to be so easy to talk to. She was not at all as arrogant and domineering as the rumors in the capital said.

“Thank you, Concubine, for your consideration.

Don't worry, once I catch the murderer, I will personally escort him to the Prince's residence to make amends."

Jiang Wumei hummed, turned around and called her personal maid:

"Qingzhi, help me up."

Qingzhi was behind Mrs. Huo. She took two steps forward, gently helped Jiang Wumei to stand up, and called out with a choked voice:

"My lady, do you still feel any pain?"

Qingzhi didn't know what Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun were planning. Seeing Jiang Wumei suffer this disaster as soon as she left the Prince's Mansion, she was so heartbroken that she couldn't stop crying.

In her opinion, if it were in the Prince's Mansion, there would be someone to test the poison of the snacks and fruits eaten by the Empress, so such a disaster would never happen.

When we return home later, His Highness will see the Empress in such a depressed state and will surely be furious and punish everyone.

Qingzhi was not afraid of His Highness's punishment, but felt that his master had suffered a great crime this time and was too unlucky, and he felt bad for his master.

Jiang Wumei didn't expect Qingzhi to react so strongly. She said it was okay and then looked at Madam Huo and Xu Junjun.

"I've been out for a long time, it's time to go back home.

Wait until Mrs. Huo catches the murderer, then come to my house to find me."

Old Madam Huo nodded hurriedly and quickly ordered someone to prepare the sedan chair.

The sedan chair left the general's mansion and returned to the carriage.

Jiang Wumei nodded to the old lady and Xu Junjun at the gate of the general's mansion. Seeing the tears in Xu Junjun's eyes, she blinked at her, signaling her not to worry.

The wheels rolled and the servants followed the carriage forward.

Only after the luxurious and exquisite carriage disappeared around the corner did Mrs. Huo's face turn cold and she turned around and walked into the mansion.

"Bring Chen Yue'er to the yard!"

At this moment, Chen Yue'er was having a sweet dream in the backyard.

Before making her plan, Chen Yue'er didn't know that there were guests at home today. When she first heard the noise in the front yard, she thought that Xiao Cui and her friends had succeeded.

Hearing the sound of guards arresting and tying people outside the courtyard, Chen Yue'er, who was standing in the courtyard, was so excited that her eyes flashed and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Madam Huo, rest in peace.

Don't worry, you won't be alone on the road to the underworld. I will soon send your filial granddaughter-in-law down to keep you company.

There were chaotic footsteps outside. Chen Yue'er looked up at the sky. If it was any later, the branches of the Huo family would be here too.

Once everyone was gathered, she would get ready and go on stage.

As soon as Mrs. Huo died, she would search Xu Junjun's room and find arsenic in front of all the Huo family members. By then, even if Xu Junjun had mouths all over her body, she would not be able to explain it.

General Huo and his wife, as well as Brother Ming and his men, who rushed back after hearing the bad news, would definitely kill Xu Junjun out of grief!

Once these two roadblocks are gone, she will be able to marry Brother Ming in a grand ceremony and become the legitimate Mrs. Huo of the general's mansion!

Thinking of the grand scene of herself marrying into the general's mansion with a phoenix crown and a red wedding dress, Chen Yue'er even laughed out loud with joy.

Night gradually approaches and snow begins to fall from the sky again.

The night was as dark as ink, but the entire general's mansion was brightly lit.

Chen Yue'er was sitting in the room. She estimated that it was about time, so she stood up and checked her clothes. After making sure they were decent and appropriate, she put on her cloak and opened the door.

Outside the courtyard, Nanny Li, with a gloomy face, was walking towards this side with a few strong servants.

Everyone moved very quickly and arrived in front of Chen Yueer's hospital in a blink of an eye.

With a loud bang, Nanny Li kicked open the courtyard door and saw Chen Yue'er standing in the courtyard. She said with a forced smile:

"Cousin, the old lady wants you to come over."

Is the old witch about to die?

Hearing that Mrs. Huo wanted to see her at this time, Chen Yue'er's eyes brightened a little. She lifted her skirt and walked down the stairs quickly, not noticing the gloom on Nanny Li's face at all.

"Madame Li, what does the old lady want to see me about?"

Walking up to Nanny Li, Chen Yue'er couldn't hide the joy in her eyes. Her cheerful tone made Nanny Li's face even uglier. She replied indifferently:

"You'll know when you get there, cousin."

Chen Yue'er nodded, and used all her concentration to suppress the smile on her lips. Her fingertips were shaking with excitement.

At this moment, under the extremely excited nerve stimulation, she did not notice why her two maids had not returned at this time, and none of the servants who used to serve her in the yard showed up.

The snow is getting heavier.

The ground was covered with a layer of silver.

A trail of footprints extended across the snow and soon reached the yard where Mrs. Huo lived.

The further she walked into the courtyard, the quieter Chen Yue'er felt. The uneasiness of being late made her hesitate in her steps.

"Madame Li, has the old lady had dinner yet?"

Chen Yue'er turned around to ask Nanny Li, but she didn't expect that Nanny Li and the people behind her all kept silent and no one responded.

Now, Chen Yueer finally felt something was wrong and looked around anxiously.

Everyone was still walking when Chen Yue'er stepped into the house. The first person she saw was Xu Junjun sitting on one side. Then she moved her eyes to the right and saw Mrs. Huo sitting at the top, who was intact. Chen Yue'er's pupils suddenly shrank and her breathing stopped for a beat.

How come this old woman is okay!

Didn't Xiao Cui and the others poison me? !

The shock on Chen Yueer's face was too glaring, and Xu Junjun's face instantly darkened.

Old Madam Huo stared at Chen Yue'er with a cold look in her eyes. She carried the pressure of a superior and her aura was so strong that Chen Yue'er was so guilty that she dared not look up.

"M-Mrs. Good morning, Madam."

Chen Yue'er squatted down and saluted, her mind was a mess. She didn't understand why Madam Huo, who should have died, was still sitting here?

If the old woman was fine, then why did the guards in the mansion take the people from the kitchen with such fanfare a few hours ago?

"Chen Yue'er, do you admit your guilt?"

From a high position, Madam Huo shouted angrily, frightening Chen Yue'er so much that she fell to the ground with a thud.

"Yue, Yue'er doesn't understand what the old lady is talking about...

"What crime do you want to face for Yue'er, Yue'er?"

Chen Yue'er's face was pale, she sat down on the cold ground, unable to speak a coherent sentence.

Xu Junjun sat below Mrs. Huo. Seeing that Chen Yue'er didn't cry until she saw the coffin, she narrowed her eyes and stared at her:

“Of course, it’s your grave sin to send your personal maid to poison Grandmother.

Chen Yue'er, do you know that according to the laws of this dynasty, anyone who plots to murder an elder and causes their death shall be punished by lingchi (death by a thousand cuts)?"

The word "Lingchi" struck Chen Yue'er fiercely, causing her face to change drastically. But after all, she was the one who planned everything. After the panic, Chen Yue'er quickly calmed down, forced a pale smile, and looked at Xu Junjun:

"Sister, stop joking. Yue'er has never dared to step on an ant since she was little, so how could she dare to murder the old lady?

There are always malicious people who plot to frame me."

As she spoke, Chen Yueer straightened up and kowtowed towards Old Madam Huo, tears streaming down her face.

"Old Madam, Yue'er grew up by your side, and you know her best.

Yue'er can't even stand the sight of blood, so how could she possibly poison you?

There are always people who are jealous of Yue Er and deliberately frame her."

Seeing her looking at him while crying, and constantly putting him down in her words and deeds, Xu Junjun laughed out of anger.

Xu Junjun suddenly stood up, walked slowly to Chen Yueer's side, pinched her chin, and said in a cold tone:

"Chen Yue'er, stop pretending!

In the entire General's Mansion, who would be jealous of you?

Um? "
