Chapter 716: Captured Her

tim. Normally, a woman from a well-off family, especially an official's wife, shouldn't be so brazen as to appear in court and confront someone publicly. However, because the Minister of Justice was...At this moment, Shen Meihua might already know who poisoned her. However, she had no choice but to swallow her anger, after all, she was now without any status or power. She had nothing to fight with. The timing wasn't right, so she could only endure it! But this definitely wouldn't be her ending. In her heart, she swore secretly that one day, she would trample all those who had looked down upon her under her feet!

After a day, Shen Meihua stopped teaching Xiao Yu Ge and the others to dance, citing illness. Of course, everyone knew the real reason, but they chose not to point it out.

Xiao Yu Ge and the others naturally wouldn't stay here any longer, so they bid farewell and prepared to return to the capital city.

"My dear, you went to great lengths to save her son, but she still doesn't appreciate your kindness. It seems that people of her background are always cold and unfeeling!" Xiao Yufu couldn't help but say on the carriage ride.

"It doesn't matter, I just did what I had to do."

"If Mother knew, that she loves you most, yet you saved the son of your rival... do you think Mother would be heartbroken" Xiao Yu Fu still wasn't finished.

Xiao Yu Ge heard this and looked up, staring at her for half a stick of incense before she finally spoke. "If your father knew that you had poisoned his beloved son, whom he'd cherished for decades, do you think he would fly into a rage Or perhaps even banish you from the Xiang family"

Xiao Yu Fu's eyes flashed with a hint of panic: "You, you're talking nonsense! The poison was clearly laced by Hong'er, how could it be me Don't think that because Hong'er has been silenced, you can frame me!"

Xiao Yu's lips curled into a faint smile: "Sister, we have never said that the poison was placed by Hong'er, nor that Hong'er was silenced. How did you know, Sister Could it be that all this was actually orchestrated by Sister"

It turned out that in order not to attract the attention of the authorities, Shen Meihua claimed to the outside world that Hong'er died unexpectedly from illness. As for the matter of Hong'er being poisoned, besides Xiao Yuge and Lu Xiangwan, only Shen Meihua and her maid named Jiang Qi knew about it. No one else could possibly know, so Xiao Yufu was admitting to it without prompting.

"I..." Xiao Yufu only then realized she had exposed herself. Gritting her teeth, she gave up pretending: "Even if I orchestrated it, so what You have no evidence!"

"Is that so" Xiao Yuge slowly took out something from her body. It was a gold ingot, which seemed rather ordinary.

"Just a gold ingot What proof does that offer" Seeing only a single gold ingot, Xiao Yufu let out a cold snort, not taking it seriously at all.

Xiao Yu Ge turned the gold over and then took out a special medicinal water she always carried, gently pouring it on top. Instantly, the surface shimmered with scales, exactly like the flowing skirt worn by Xiao Yu Fu: "This was found on Hong'er’s body. The flowing skirt is made of a special material. Let alone Plum Blossom Villa, even the entire capital wouldn't have a second one. You say this isn't evidence"

Xiao Yu Fu only then understood that everything was under Xiao Yu Ge's control, and she couldn't help but say angrily: "What if it was me Even a wild species dares to covet what doesn't belong to him, and wants to enter the Xiangfu. He shouldn't have been born in this world! You actually helped outsiders harm your mother, despite how much our mother loved you!" At this moment, a venomous look appeared on her beautiful face.

“How you deal with Shen MeiHua is your business, but to harm a child who is barely a few years old is simply too cruel. I might not have seen it myself, and it wouldn't concern me, but if I were to witness it, I couldn't stand by idly. Even Mother would agree with my actions, after all, the child is innocent!”

“Innocent So are you saying I am not innocent You took fifteen years of my life, robbed me of fifteen years! I finally got everything back after so much struggle, and now you want me to watch as some bastard child takes it all away from me” Xiao Yufu seemed to be on the verge of a breakdown.

"You want to protect everything you have, you can do it in other ways, but you shouldn't hurt a child. He's only four years old, he doesn't understand anything!"

“He’s only four years old, he doesn’t understand anything, but if anyone is to blame, it's his mother. It’s her selfishness that brought him into this world. So from the moment he was born, he was destined to endure all of this. Even if you save him this time, what about next time Will you be able to save him then” Xiao Yu Fu didn’t think she was wrong.

"I'm afraid there won't be another time." Xiao Yuge cocked her ear to listen, her brow furrowed involuntarily. She hated this kind of scheming the most, but she seemed to run into it everywhere she went, truly annoying.

As soon as she finished speaking, the carriage suddenly lurched and let out a shrill screech!

"Who are you!" A voice barked from outside the carriage, it was Lu Xiangwan.

Xiao Yufu's pink face suddenly changed, and she unconsciously shrank her body.

Xiao Yu Ge glanced at the outside, let out a sigh, grabbed Xiao Yu Fu's hand and was about to walk out.

“What are you doing Let me go!” Xiao Yufu struggled to break free from her grasp, but Xiao Yu Ge held on tightly.

"The consequences you have created, you must bear them yourself!" Xiao Yuge finished speaking, then pulled her down from the carriage.

Originally, in front of the carriage, several masked men in black blocked their way, looking like they were not here for good.

"You have guts! The ones in the carriage are two county princesses. In broad daylight, you dare to stop them Don't you want to live" Lu Xiangwan drew her sword and stood protectively in front of Xiao Yuge.

"We're here for the county princess!" The visitors had a very clear objective, and didn't waste any words. They immediately launched into action.

Xiao Yu Ge and her companions went out without bringing any guards. There was only a carriage driver with them, and the only one who could fight was Lu Xiangwan. So, several men in black intercepted Lu Xiangwan, and the rest approached Xiao Yu Ge and the others.

"Little song..." Even though Xiao Yufu was usually ruthless, when it came to this critical moment, she still felt a flicker of fear. Instinctively, she leaned closer to Xiao Yuge's side.

Xiao Yu Ge coldly watched the cloaked figure approach them step by step. Judging from his aura, the visitor's martial arts skills should be quite high. She wasn't afraid, but protecting Xiao Yu Fu was a different story altogether.

"Two young ladies, we don't wish to harm you, we only want to invite you to come up the mountain for a sit." The leading figure in black stood before Xiao Yuge and her companion, the pair of eyes visible weren't as ferocious as imagined.

"We are princesses personally bestowed by the Emperor, what do you want to do" Xiao Yufu boldly retorted.

"We mean you no harm, we just want to ask the two of you to come up the mountain for a sit." The voice of the black-clad man at the head sounded very calm, not like some ruthless robber who would kill without batting an eye.

There, Lu Xiangwan was being pushed back step by step, seeming to be at a disadvantage very soon.er, someone she absolutely couldn't have imagined, who was framing her. Could it be..."Xiao Yuge, this isn't like that! I admit that I wanted to take you back to Tianzhu Kingdom out of selfish reasons...
