Chapter 1291: The General Rape the Ninth Princess
Translator: Lonelytree
Xiao He had no choice at all. She kowtowed to Yuwen Ling and said,” Thank you for your mercy, Princess!”
In the Rain Spirit Palace, after Consort Liu De comforted Yuwen Ling to rest, she began to question Xiao He.
“Tell me, what happened? Why did the princess faint in front of the palace gates, and why did she look like this?” Consort Liu De asked sternly,” Also, I looked at the princess’s clothes. It was obviously the clothes of a palace maid. How dare you let the princess wear your clothes?”
Yuwen Lings clothes had been torn to shreds, so Xiao He had to give her own clothes to the princess. She endured the humiliation and only wore a piece of inner clothes to help the princess back to the palace.
However, just as they were about to reach the palace gate, Yuwen Ling fainted.
After that, the guards at the palace gate discovered her and brought her back to Yuwen Lings bedroom.
When Consort Liu De heard that Yuwen Ling had fainted outside the palace gates, she immediately rushed over worriedly.
However, when she saw Yuwen Lings appearance, she was shocked and felt very uneasy.
Because she was not an ignorant little girl.
This daughter of hers looked exactly like…
She immediately ordered everyone to leave and let Nanny check.
The result almost made her faint.
Consort Liu De immediately sent someone to find a royal doctor she trusted.
After that, she walked out of Yuwen Lings room and began to question Xiao He, who had been kneeling outside.
“The princess is… It was… She was raped by the general!” Xiao He’s face was extremely pale as she trembled.
Bang! It was the sound of porcelain falling to the ground.
“Dog slave, what did you say?” Consort Liu shouted angrily.
“The princess was raped by the great general!” Xiao He said again.
Then, she kowtowed loudly and cried,” Your Majesty is wise. I dare not lie! Jiang Zhennan was worse than a beast. He openly rejected the princess but secretly touched the princess. After the princess discovered his true appearance, she wanted to leave the General’s Estate as soon as possible. She did not expect that he… He… That beast did not allow the princess to leave at all. After that, he committed atrocities against the princess!”
Hearing Xiao He’s words, Consort Liu De’s eyes were filled with anger. She gritted her teeth and said,” Jiang Zhennan!”
As she spoke, Consort Liu swept all the tea sets on the table to the ground!
Bang! Another wave of porcelain fell to the ground and shattered.
“Good, good, really good!” Consort Liu said angrily.
She had never thought that this palace maid was lying!
Or perhaps she did not want to investigate further to see if it was Jiang
Zhennan.
Because, in her heart, she faintly felt that compared to Ling ‘er losing her virginity to some strange man, it was more appropriate to blame this matter on Jiang Zhennan.
Therefore, it was Jiang Zhennan’s fault!
Xiao He kowtowed to Consort Liu De and said,” Madam, this servant failed to protect her master. I can only die to atone for my sins!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately stood up and slammed into the wall.
Bang!
Fresh blood splattered onto the wall, and she closed her eyes and fell to the ground!
The only witness by the princess’ side who could prove Jiang Zhennan’s innocence was gone!
All of a sudden, Jiang Zhennan became a rapist!
Not long after Xiao He died, the imperial physician that Consort Liu De had hired arrived.
Consort Liu looked at Imperial Physician Lin and warned him seriously,” Imperial Physician Lin, I know that you are very tight-lipped. You should know what to say and what not to say, right?”
When Imperial Physician Lin came in and saw the lifeless little palace maid lying on the ground, he knew that something must have happened in the Rain Spirit Palace. Oh, to be exact, it involved the ninth princess.
After hearing Consort Liu’s warning, his heart thumped, and he thought to himself,’ I’m afraid things aren’t looking good!’
Imperial Physician Lin said very dutifully,” Your Majesty, I am only a doctor. I only treat patients!” It meant that for doctors, anything about the patient must be kept confidential without the patient’s consent.
This was the duty of a doctor!
“Okay, you can go in!” Consort Liu nodded in satisfaction.
After Imperial Physician Lin went in, Consort Liu De stared coldly at Xiao He’s corpse. One of her hands was tightly gripping the handkerchief, and the veins on her fair wrist could be seen bulging.
“l will definitely take revenge for this! “Consort Liu thought hatefully.
However, not long after Xiao He hit the wall, a confidant of Consort Liu De ran over in a hurry. He looked very anxious and said,” Madam, something happened! ”
Consort Liu’s eyes were sharp as she stared at him.” Speak!”
The eunuch looked around and found that there was no one around. He immediately reported,” Your Majesty, there are rumors outside that the Ninth Princess was…Here…” It was really hard for him to say it out loud. He was afraid that if the Consort got angry. she would snap his head.
“So what?” Consort Liu’s heart suddenly felt even worse.
“They said that the Ninth Princess was raped by the general! Many commoners had seen the Ninth Princess walk out of the General’s Mansion with her disheveled clothes and lifeless expression!” The person reported.
“Bang!
Consort Liu slammed the table angrily!
However, she was certain that the person who raped her daughter was not Jiang Zhennan.
If Jiang Zhennan had really raped Yuwen Ling, how could so many people have seen it?
Also, the rumor had spread so quickly. There must be someone behind it!
Consort Liu De had risen from a little girl to one of the four consorts with immense power. Most importantly, the daughter she had raised had won the Emperor’s favor. This showed her clever strategies and methods.
Therefore, as soon as the rumor was out, she immediately analyzed that the culprit who raped Yuwen Ling was not Jiang Zhennan.
Whether it was the truth or not, since the blame was placed on Jiang Zhennan, he had to take it, even if he didn’t want to!
This was the only way she could protect her daughter’s dignity. As for the royal family’s reputation, it had nothing to do with her!
Consort Liu immediately ordered,” Have the Liu family send someone to find out the source of the rumor!”
Since it was not Jiang Zhennan, she had to find the real culprit and avenge her daughter!
“Yes, sir!”
Duke Zhengguo’s Mansion
In Lanxin Courtyard, Jiang Wen frowned and asked the servant who was sent to follow the butler,” You’re saying that the butler went to the slums and found four local ruffians?!”
The servant replied,” Yes, Eldest Miss!”
“Strange, why did that b * tch find four local ruffians?” Jiang Wen muttered in confusion.
When he heard Jiang Wen’s muttering, especially when she called the butler a b * tch, he was immediately shocked.
Usually, didn’t the young miss treat the butler very well? Why now?
When Jiang Wen realized what she had said, she glared at the servant and asked,” Did you hear anything just now?”
The servant immediately shook his head cleverly.” No, did Eldest Miss say anything?”
Jiang Wen nodded and said,” Do you know why the butler is looking for those four hooligans?”
The servant shook his head and said,” It’s too far away. I didn’t hear what they were saying.”
Jiang Wen immediately said angrily,” Can’t you go closer? Also, didn’t you continue to follow him?”
The servant boy said in fear,” Eldest Miss, this servant was almost discovered by the butler several times. After the butler found the four hooligans, the servant wanted to continue following them, but… the butler found out. He asked this servant what he was doing. This servant said that he wanted to buy Xuan paper for the Eldest Miss and happened to pass by here. After that, this servant was afraid that the housekeeper would be suspicious, so he hurriedly went to the Treasure Ink Shop to buy a stack of Xuan paper and returned to the residence! ”
Because that piece of paper was very expensive and cost him a lot of money.
When Jiang Wen heard this, she took out another piece of old jewelry from her jewelry box and gave it to the servant. She then instructed,” Go, go to the slums and find those four local ruffians. Find out why the butler was looking for them.”
The servant happily took the things from Jiang Wen’s hands and replied happily,” Yes, Eldest Miss!”
After the servant left, Jiang Wen was puzzled.
What did the butler want to do by suddenly looking for some local ruffians?
As she thought about it, her eyes suddenly widened. Could it be?
Thinking of that speculation, she felt even more terrified and uneasy.
A moment later, a sharp and vicious light appeared in her eyes as she said fiercely,” Wen Yujing, Jiang Suping, since you’re heartless, don’t blame me for being unjust! ”
East courtyard
Jiang Suping said to Wen Yujing calmly,” Madam, I believe that Jiang Zhennan, that bastard, will not be able to return to the Duke’s estate soon!”
When Wen Yujing heard this, she immediately said happily,” Good, good, that’s great! I want to see how Yuwen Ling is going to be released after what happened to her. Moreover, many people on that street had seen Yuwen Ling walking out of the General’s manor with disheveled clothes and a strange expression. When they heard that Yuwen Ling had been hurt, they would definitely associate it with him.”
The butler immediately echoed, “Yes. Madam is still the smartest!”
Wen Yujing had been losing repeatedly because of Jiang Zhennan. She was even more hated by Jiang Yunfeng and had been suppressing her anger.
Now, she could finally vent her anger.
But then she thought of something and asked,” Is the person you found reliable?”
The butler immediately said,” Madam, don’t worry. After they finished their work, they would never appear in this world again!’
Wen Yujing was stunned for a moment before she understood what he meant..
She immediately shouted happily,” Good, good, this is great! Haha…”
