The Villain is Reborn! Princess Zhan goes on a killing spree in the capital

Su Mo's eyes gleamed. This Miss Su was quite interesting. "Miss Su, may I ask what happened at home?"

Before Ji Xue could even open her mouth, Shen couldn't help but explode: "Su Jixue! You know the feud between the Xiangfu and Su Mo, and you're actually going to complain to him?!"

Ji Xue looked innocent. "Logically, Ji Xue should call Lord Su my uncle. Ji Xue only remembers that my uncle was expelled from the Su family ten years ago, but I don't know the exact date. Now that there is something going on at home, it's better to ask my uncle for help than to ask outsiders."

In fact, she knew.

Su Mo, Su Jian's cousin, was also a brilliant and talented man, having won three top honors in the imperial examinations. However, at the height of his career, he got into trouble for molesting his cousin's wife while drunk. While it wasn't molesting, it was actually something more serious, and he was expelled from the clan for it.

The cousin-in-law who was molested was Shen.

Officials in the capital were wary of the situation. A murder in the Prime Minister's residence was sensational, but neither the Jingzhao Yin nor the Ministry of Justice would accept the case. But Su Mo, the commander of the Five Cities Military Command, had abandoned his civil service career and devoted himself to opposing Su Jian. He was bound to intervene in this matter.

"Uncle?! Is he worthy of being an uncle?!" Shen was so angry that she was shaking all over. She glared at Su Mo fiercely: "Get out! Get out of the Su family right now!"

"Madam Su, be careful with your words! Obstructing the court's investigation and insulting officials can be punishable." Su Mo still looked nonchalant, but his eyes had turned cold. "Excuse me, has there been a murder in your house?"

"Master Su, be careful with your words!" Su Jian had calmed down by now and replied indifferently, "It was just a family servant who was beaten to death."

A domestic slave's life and property belonged to his master, including life and death. Beating a domestic slave to death was not a crime.

"Father, you are wrong. The one who died was not a slave. My sister beat to death a girl from a good family." Ji Xue said as she took out Qingtuan's indenture and tore it into pieces on the spot.

"Killing a good family child requires a life!"

Ji Xue looked at Su Mingyue with cold eyes. Her good days were over.

"Oh, so the second young lady of the mansion will probably have to go with us." Su Mo looked at Su Jixue deeply and said to Su Mingyue with a forced smile.

"No! I don't want it!" Su Mingyue had always been showing off in the backyard. This was the first time she saw an official from outside the palace. She couldn't help but feel scared when she saw those guards.

"Don't worry, Mingyue. No one can take you away." Shen put on the airs of a prime minister's wife and looked at Su Mo. "Sir Su, if a good family member was beaten and killed, it would definitely be a life for a life. But you need a victim to sue the authorities. Su Jixue and Qingtuan are not related, not even master and servant, so she can't be considered a victim."

"Qingtuan's parents are here now. Lord Su can ask her family for their opinion."

Shen said as she looked at Qingtuan's mother and father: "Do you want to sue?"

The two shook their heads violently.

"That damn girl deserved to die. Even if the Second Young Lady didn't beat her to death, she would still be thrown into a pig cage when she returns!"

"We won't sue!"

Shen glanced at Ji Xue with a sneer. Now that she had no legal basis, she wanted to see how Su Jixue could sue.

The master knew how much he hated Su Mo and Shen. This time, Su Jixue failed to gain anything and ended up losing a lot. If she lost the master's protection, she would be at the mercy of the master in the backyard.

Su Mo glanced at Ji Xue with some regret. It seemed that this time he would return empty-handed. "Miss Su, you can't sue on behalf of the deceased."

"I can't, but someone can." Ji Xue said casually.

"Su Jixue, you are determined to kill your sister, right?!" Shen's eyes were almost spitting fire.

"Mother, you got it wrong." Ji Xue's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc. "It's clearly my sister who has evil intentions. First, she deliberately stole the credit for saving the prince from me, then she fell into the water at the princess's mansion to frame my eldest sister. Now, she's even more lawless and wants to kill people."

"Mother, drowning a child is like killing him. Please don't put the cart before the horse. She has only herself to blame for what she is doing now!"

Ji Xue had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold as she looked at Shen without any hesitation.

Before meeting Gui Xiaocao, Ji Xue was skeptical about whether Shen knew her child was switched. But if Su Mingyue was raised in the Gui family, then Shen knew from the beginning that Su Jixue was not her child.

Shen placed Su Mingyue in the Gui family for foster care. She had a wet nurse, maids, and old women all around her since she was a child. She was also well educated in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. That was why Su Mingyue was recognized and brought home with such a big splash.

Su Jixue has always felt guilty towards Su Mingyue, feeling that she had usurped her parents' position and left Su Mingyue stranded. But Su Jixue never even bothered to find out where Su Mingyue was, and how could she have taken the wrong child? She repeatedly gave in to Su Mingyue, allowing her to intentionally or unintentionally smear her.

But if Shen knew the truth from the beginning and had no real feelings for Su Jixue, and only wanted to flatter her and use her as a stepping stone. Su Mingyue also knew that she was the daughter of the Prime Minister and used this to control Su Jixue.

It's time to settle all these old accounts.

"Okay, okay! Then I'll see how you can sue me!" Shen gritted her teeth.

"Sir Su, a woman should obey her father at home and her husband after marriage. Qingtuan's husband's family can always stand up for them and their son." Ji Xue looked at Su Mo and spoke slowly.

"Husband's family? Is Qingtuan married?"

"What's going on? How come we don't know?"

"Isn't this her child born out of wedlock, but a legitimate one?"

……

Discussions arose.

"What husband's family? Qingtuan has never been married!" Qingtuan's mother's face was pale at this time, and she looked at Ji Xue with angry eyes.

"Yes, sister, you are not going to find a fictitious husband for Qingtuan just to frame me, right?!" Su Mingyue felt relieved at this time. She was afraid that Su Jixue would have some tricks that she could not imagine, but she could not force a husband for Qingtuan.

"Very funny?" Ji Xue raised her eyes, her cold gaze carrying a heavy pressure as she swept over everyone in front of her. "Is it so funny to you to brand a pure and innocent girl with the stigma of having an affair and having a child?"

Her expression was so serious and matter-of-fact that the servants present who did not know the truth could not help but feel as if they had wronged Qingtuan.

"Su Mingyue, because of your selfishness, you caused the death of the heroic widow, and now you can still laugh?!"

To be able to help Su Mingyue cheat, Qingtuan must be quite talented. Even more so, Qingtuan's final visit to Su Mingyue to discuss their whereabouts was to fulfill the bond between master and servant.

Qingtuan is no less intelligent, clever, courageous and loyal.

But they just want to treat the Youth League in this way.

It's just fame.

They can throw dirty water on Qingtuan without restraint, but Ji Xue can make them kneel down and wipe up the dirty water bit by bit.

Ji Xue wants to help Qingtuan regain the reputation she cares about, and help her reach a higher level.
