Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 269 Falling off the Cliff ([-])

The person in front of him, although the clothes on his body were almost torn to pieces, the golden crown on his head was shattered, and only one boot was left on his feet, he could still vaguely recognize that it was a silver-white brocade robe with dark patterns, The golden crown is inlaid with red and blue gemstones, and the boots on the feet are thin-soled, not the most popular style nowadays.

On the brocade bag next to this person, there is still a jade pendant that is almost rotten into a pile of powder, with cloud patterns remaining on it.

These are indeed the clothes Wei Fan wore when he went to Jingshan yesterday, and that jade pendant looks like a broken tiger pendant... Mu Qingwan clutched her chest tightly, tears dripping down uncontrollably, choked up, unable to answer Princess Wei The problem.

When Princess Wei saw her appearance, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This corpse seemed to have been fooled. She didn't expect Shi Tianci to have some skills.She tried her best to restrain the corners of her lips that were about to rise, and waved to the servants to let them carry the body of "Eldest Young Master" in, then walked to Mu Qingwan's side, and comforted her in a heavy tone: "Eldest Young Mistress, you are dead!" I’m sorry for not being able to come back to life.” As he spoke, he took out his handkerchief and wiped his eyes, and said, “It’s so easy to hope for him to come back, thinking that someone will finally inherit the lineage and take care of us for the elderly... But who knows..."

Mu Qingwan's mind went blank, and she had lost the ability to think. She only knew that she couldn't hold back her tears, and kept streaming down.

Jinyu and Ling Xiuben also tried to persuade her, and after persuading her, she couldn't help crying.

This marriage was originally not the Mu family's will. Mu Qingwan was forced to leave her hometown and married, but she never thought that her husband was a fool and her mother-in-law made things difficult for her. A normal person, but he did something real, insisted on picking plum blossoms, and lost his life in the end.

Their eldest mistress, their third daughter, really had a hard life, how should they live in the days to come!Jinyu and Lingxiu coincidentally were worried about Mu Qingwan's future life, crying more and more sadly.

While crying, they walked inwards and came to the temporary mourning hall. Because of a sudden incident, the palace didn't prepare anything, and the cold corpse just lay there.Wei Zhenxing rushed over to inquire, with a look of disbelief on his face, he stood at the door holding the door frame in a daze for a long while, and then rushed over, caressing the corpse, tears streaming down his face.

Princess Wei wiped her eyes vigorously until the corners of her eyes were red, then she came over, handed the pile of jade pendants that were already smashed to Wei Zhenxing, and said: "My lord, I found this on the young master, but it has been broken. ..."

But Wei Zhenxing didn't care about the tiger pendant at all, he brushed it away, stared and asked Princess Wei sharply: "Since you took him to Jingzhuang to enjoy the snow, you should take good care of him, why did you let him fall off the cliff?! "

Princess Wei originally wanted to yell for her wrongdoing, but after thinking about it, Wei Fan is dead anyway, even if she is not dead, she will not give him a chance to see Lord Wei again, so even if she admits it openly My own negligence of duty can't affect the overall situation - Wei Zhenxing won't be able to divorce her because of her ineffective care?
So, she simply knelt down and cried, "It's all my fault. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have dozed off in the sedan chair so that I didn't hear the young master heading towards the cliff."

Nap?The weather was cold and the sedan chair was warm, so it was understandable for her to doze off. Seeing that she did not shirk responsibility, Wei Zhenxing became less angry with her, and asked instead: "Even if you are asleep, what about those guards?" Eyes, are you blind?" As he said that, he was about to take the head of the captain of the guards to see him.

Princess Wei hurriedly persuaded: "My lord calm down, and it's not too late to listen to what he has to say."

Wei Zhenxing circled around a few times irritably, and finally calmed down his anger a little, and asked for the captain of the guard to be brought up.Panting for breath, he glanced at Princess Wei who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Get up, let the servants see what it looks like."

Princess Wei felt relieved when she heard this, she almost won this game of chess.

Soon, the captain of the guard was brought to Wei Zhenxing with his arms cut behind his back. Wei Zhenxing glared at him with red eyes, and asked sharply, "Why don't you take good care of the young master?!"

The captain of the guards shouted injustice: "The little people have been following closely. It was the young master who insisted on picking the plum blossoms himself, and then followed the shopkeeper Shi. The little people couldn't rely on it. That's why when the young master stumbled and fell off the cliff, he didn't have time to lend a helping hand." .”

"Treasurer Shi? Who?" Wei Zhenxing frowned, "When did we get a Treasurer Shi in Prince Wei's Mansion?"

The captain of the guard glanced at Mu Qingwan who was silently standing aside, and said, "The shopkeeper Shi's surname is Shi Mingtianci, and he is a relative of the young lady's natal family."

Wei Zhenxing immediately turned around, glared at Mu Qingwan fiercely, and scolded: "The princess took you to Jingzhuang to enjoy the snow, what are your relatives from your mother's family doing? Even if you are shy and follow, you should keep your own place. How dare you Encouraging the young master to pick plum blossoms?!"

Maternal relatives?Mu Qingwan raised her head and glanced at Princess Wei, feeling as if she had suddenly realized something, but it was useless to argue about it at this time, because no matter how bad Shi Tianci's relationship with her was, even if Shi Tianci wanted to harm her several times, In the eyes of these people, he is also her natal relative, and she has to bear the responsibility for his mistakes, so she simply did the opposite and defended Shi Tianci, saying: "I am the first I know that as long as the Eldest Young Master follows someone, even if this person is a person with no strength or skill, a guard of Prince Wei's Palace, he can stand by and watch."

What's the meaning?Wei Zhenxing was obviously taken aback.

The captain of the guard vaguely guessed what she was going to say, and wanted to refute, but Mu Qingwan didn't give him a chance, and then said: "Even if at that time, shopkeeper Shi followed behind the young master, so what? Shopkeeper Shi shouldn't The person who protects the young master, the guards of Prince Wei's Mansion saw him, they should drag him away, and then how to protect the young master, and how to protect the young master! You all have unique skills, and you are all top players, but Don't tell me, you can't even pull Master Shi away?! I don't know what happened at that time, but according to Shopkeeper Shi, when the young master fell off the cliff, he was the only one who wanted to hold the young master desperately, but unfortunately What's more, it didn't work. Dare I ask, where were you guards at that time? Could it be that the princess told you this before we set off?!"

Wei Zhenxing listened, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and his eyes on the captain of the guard became more and more unfriendly.Princess Wei, who was already happy, suddenly panicked again. How could Mu Qingwan mean that she was accusing her of not being effective in disciplining the guards, which caused the tragedy of Wei Fan's slipping and falling off the cliff?

Looking at the captain of the guards, he was speechless and couldn't even utter a single rebuttal. Isn't this equivalent to admitting his dereliction of duty?
The captain of the guard was appointed by her, and his negligence is equivalent to her negligence. This is not the same level of error as taking a nap in a sedan chair.The more Princess Wei thought about it, the more flustered she became. The handkerchief she was wiping her eyes unconsciously moved to her forehead.
