The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

If it's someone who genuinely wants to repay kindness, that's fine. The real problem is that they might be a troublemaker with ulterior motives. However, Jing Anle didn't say these words aloud.

At this moment, Jing Anle noticed that the old lady seemed a little tired, so she said, "Grandmother, why don't you let my cousin accompany me for a stroll in the garden? I just came in and I thought it was very charming!"

Everyone understood that this was a pretext. The old lady nodded silently to herself. She was old and had just gotten angry, so she really needed to rest. Therefore, she said to Qin Zhihua, "Take good care of the princess!"

"Grandmother, don't worry!" Qin Zhihua turned to an old woman beside her and said, "Granny Cui, help Grandmother inside to rest."

“Yes, Second Miss,” Granny Cui replied.

"Brother, we're going to the garden." Qin Zhihua greeted Qin Xiuyuan as she watched the old lady walk inside.

Qin Xiuyuan, being a man, naturally couldn't accompany her, so he said, "Alright, just let me know if anything happens." Although he was answering Qin Zhihua, his eyes were on Jing Anle.

From the moment Qin Xiuyuan entered, Jing Anle felt a gaze fall upon her. Having been reborn, she knew very well what that meant, but the current Jing Anle no longer cared about love, so she could only pretend not to know.

After Qin Zhihua finished speaking, she and Jing Anle went out the door together, leaving Qin Xiuyuan with only their backs.

The general's mansion was enormous, and after walking for a long time, they still hadn't reached the garden. No wonder the emperor got lost last time, Jing Anle couldn't help but think.

"Princess?" Qin Zhihua saw Jing Anle looking thoughtful and thought something was wrong, so she asked.

Jing Anle looked at Qin Zhihua's puzzled expression and smiled, "I was just thinking, this General's Mansion is so big, no wonder my brother got lost the first time he came here." She finished speaking and stared at Qin Zhihua's face.

As expected, Qin Zhihua was stunned for a moment, then her face turned bright red with embarrassment. She was very clever and immediately knew what Jing Anle was talking about.

So Qin Zhihua tried to appear calm and said, "The garden is just ahead..." But her evasive words betrayed her.

Jing Anle looked at Qin Zhihua's expression and smiled gently. She turned to look at Afang and the maid, who were far away, and said, "Alright, cousin, it's just the two of us now. My brother has already told me everything."

Qin Zhihua's face turned even redder, and she said in a sweet voice, "Princess, you...you knew everything?"

"Know? Know what?" Seeing her like this, Jing Anle couldn't help but tease her again.

Jing Anle's quirky and mischievous demeanor was completely different from when she last met her at the poetry gathering, and this time it was Qin Zhihua who was taken aback. Jing Anle knew that women in love could easily experience dramatic mood swings, so she simply stopped being naughty.

"Actually... I'm really happy that you can be my sister-in-law," Jing Anle said, gazing into the distance, her thoughts drifting far away.

In his previous life, his elder brother married someone he didn't love, and was separated from his cousin. Then the country was destroyed, and they were separated by death. If his elder brother could truly marry the person he loves, it would be a way to make up for the regrets of his previous life.

Qin Zhihua looked at Jing Anle, who was staring into the distance, lost in thought. Following her gaze, there was nothing there, but she was unaware that Jing Anle was lost in memories.

“Princess…” Qin Zhihua said.

Jing Anle turned her head and said, "In short, all you need to know is that I will always support you."

Seeing Jing Anle's serious expression, Qin Zhihua nodded solemnly, thinking that as long as Jing Fengyao did not betray her, she would follow him forever.

The two exchanged a smile, and at that moment a burly man walked towards them. "Qin Hu greets the Princess and the Second Miss."

"Qin Hu? What are you doing here?" Qin Zhihua asked, puzzled.

"Reporting to Second Miss, the General has come to invite the Princess to his study," Qin Hu said respectfully.

"Cousin, I asked my uncle to help me find a painting last time. I think there's some news now. I'll be right back!" Jing Anle casually offered an explanation.

Qin Zhihua knew that her father adored Jing Anle, so she said, "Alright, when you're done, send someone to let me know, and I'll come pick you up."

Jing Anle smiled and nodded, then turned to Qin Hu and said, "Thank you for leading the way."

Qin Hu gestured for her to follow him and said respectfully, "Princess, please come with me!"

The study room of the General's Mansion.

Jing Anle was already familiar with this study. As soon as she entered, the door closed automatically, just like last time.

He walked around the screen and saw Qin Xu standing with his back to him, his figure straight. "Uncle," Jing Anle said.

Qin Xu turned around slowly upon hearing the voice, and was taken aback at first. Her simple and gentle attire overlapped with the image of her younger sister Qin Yin in her memory, as if that girl was calling out to her brother in a sweet voice. However, the girl in front of her was not calling out to her brother, but to her uncle.

"Uncle?" Jing Anle called out again, finally pulling Qin Xu back from his memories.

Qin Xu recognized Jing Anle as the person in front of him and said, "Princess, please have a seat."

So the two sat facing each other, and Jing Anle spoke first: "Uncle, how did things go?"

"I have already sent someone to handle the matter that the princess mentioned last time. However, Qi Kingdom is far away, and it may take some time for the messenger to arrive," Qin Xu replied.

"But will the Crown Prince of Qi believe this rumor?"

Last time Jing Anle came to the General's Mansion, he hoped that Qin Xu would send someone to spread rumors to the eldest prince of Qi that the orphan of Qi was in Jing.

Based on the events of her previous life, Jing Anle deduced that the other princes of Qi Kingdom should not know Murong Peifeng's identity. If they did, why would they willingly relinquish the throne? It must be that the old man, the Prince of Qi, was biased and only wanted to pass the throne to the child born to his beloved.

Currently, the eldest prince of Qi Kingdom is the most popular choice. If he knew that he had a younger brother, he would definitely take action.

"Don't worry, Uncle, it's just a matter of time," Jing Anle said calmly.

Looking at the calm and collected young woman in front of him, who spoke eloquently about national affairs, Qin Xu suddenly realized that she and Qin Yin only resembled each other in appearance, but their personalities were completely different.

"I also found other information about the Prince Qing's mansion," Qin Xu continued.

"Uncle, please speak."

"I can't believe what you said is true! That old bastard Prince Qing actually colluded with the Marquis of Xinyang in secret to hoard weapons!" Qin Xu's voice was filled with anger as he continued, "Furthermore, he also secretly colluded with Grand Commandant Qiu Han!"

"Weapons?" Jing Anle exclaimed in surprise. No wonder the massacre of the city was so swift in his previous life; it turns out that to do something well, one must first have the right tools.

“Last time, my men were almost discovered by them. Prince Qing is always cunning; he must have changed the location long ago.” Qin Xu became more and more angry as he spoke, and slammed his fist on the table.

"Uncle, don't worry. Such a large batch of weapons will definitely leave traces," Jing Anle quickly said upon seeing this.

Qin Xu sighed and said, "You are still young and do not know the dangers involved. Prince Qing is cunning. Even if we find evidence, he has a thousand ways to get away. If we are going to do it, we must strike decisively."
