Chapter 673: Gui as the Matchmaker (Part 2)
The reason why Princess Beijing asked Xia Jingui repeatedly as soon as they met was because she was sure that the failure of this operation was all due to Xia Jingui's early exposure.
Now seeing Xia Jingui biting back, she became even angrier.
However, considering the red blood, he still tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said seriously: "Sister, it is normal for you to feel resentful for what happened to you - but when my people rushed into the private room, it was already empty. How can you blame them for this?"
"It's not their fault? Humph!"
Xia Jingui sneered, "What kind of person do you think Lord Sun is? As soon as he heard the noise downstairs suddenly disappear and people rushed upstairs, he realized something was wrong. Why would he wait for a few dogs before rushing into the private room?"
I heard these words from Sun Shaozong.
He originally wanted to create an image of wisdom and bravery in front of Xia Jingui to reduce the chances of this woman betraying him.
Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and Xia Jingui believed that all the mistakes were Wei Ying's and that she was simply implicated, so she accumulated a lot of resentment.
The look of anger at this moment, which was three parts fake and seven parts real, was naturally much more realistic than simply acting.
Without waiting for Wei Ying to reply, she said dissatisfiedly: "Cousin, why didn't you check it more carefully at the beginning? Lord Sun had actually been asked by the prince to embarrass the Niu family, so why would he deliberately embarrass Brother Wei?"
Princess Beijing was a little skeptical after hearing the first part, but after hearing the second part, she no longer cared who revealed his whereabouts first.
He immediately grabbed Xia Jingui's arm and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you serious?!"
"Of course it's true."
Xia Jingui did not dodge this time, letting her grab her arm in ecstasy. After a while, she sneered and said, "But that was in the past! Now that he has been schemed against by you again and again, even a clay man would be aroused. Besides, he is not someone who is easy to get along with."
"When the case is tried, I'm afraid even innocent people will be convicted, and a life sentence will be turned into a death sentence!"
"this……"
Princess Beijing was overjoyed when she was hit hard by this. She was stunned for a moment and forced a smile after a while: "This... since this is the Crown Prince's intention, he shouldn't dare to act recklessly, right?"
"Sister, do you really think so?"
Xia Jingui continued to sneer and asked, "But how come I heard that he forced the Crown Prince to kill his personal eunuch with just a few words?"
Princess Beijing had naturally heard about this matter, and she knew that Sun Shaozong was now the crown prince's most trusted confidant. If he was determined to harm Wei Ruolan, the crown prince would probably have no choice but to let him do what he wanted!
"If that's the case, isn't it... isn't it... isn't it..."
Princess Beijing said "isn't it" a few times, and although she did not point out that she was the one who harmed Wei Ruolan, the color gradually disappeared from her gentle oval face.
But she was unwilling to admit defeat. She suddenly put more strength in her hands and said anxiously, "Since he has ruined your chastity, we can use this as a handle..."
"Who does sister think he is?"
Xia Jingui's pretty face was cold as she peeled off Wei Ying's fingers one by one, sneering: "He is a highly praised judge in the capital, but how many people would believe him if he said he raped a woman ? Moreover, he acted very carefully and didn't leave any traces at all, so how can we sue him?"
At this point, she seemed to not want to continue to dwell on this topic. She bowed and said dejectedly, "I'm going back to the guest room to wash up. I won't bother you anymore, sister."
Before he finished speaking, he turned and walked out.
"cousin!"
Princess Beijing chased after her and shouted, but when she saw Xia Jingui stop, she didn't know what to say.
Instead, Xia Jingui glanced back at her and said, "If anything happens to Brother Wei, it's all because of me!"
After making the matter clear, she left the piano room without looking back.
Long after Xia Jingui left, Princess Beijing was still staring blankly outside the door, her last words echoing over and over in her mind: If anything happens to brother Wei, it will be all thanks to me!
It would have been fine if it were just these two times that she had backfired, but she also vaguely discovered that her brother's imprisonment was closely related to her husband, Prince Beijing Shui Rong.
If she had not acted recklessly, Sun Shaozong would not have disobeyed the prince's orders; if she had not married Shui Rong, her brother would not have been chosen by Shui Rong and become the victim of the break with the Niu family.
If that's the case, isn't it me who harmed him? !
She and Wei Ruolan are sisters from the same mother and are only two years apart in age, so their relationship is naturally much stronger than that of Wei Rushong, who has the same mother but a different father and is more than ten years older than her.
He was in a daze at this moment. Suddenly he saw Wei Ruolan as a child, chasing him and calling him sister; suddenly he saw him with his head covered in blood, blaming himself.
These images alternated back and forth, like two poisonous snakes, constantly gnawing at Princess Beijing's heart.
I don’t know how long it took, and just when I felt my heart aching, I suddenly heard someone calling out in my ear: “Cousin, cousin?!”
It turned out that Xia Jingui had finished washing up and returned to the piano room.
Princess Beijing came to her senses after hearing her call, but she found that she had burst into tears without knowing when.
He wiped it off hastily with his hand and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did my sister come back again?"
"I……"
Seeing her crying so hard, Xia Jingui knew that the matter was almost settled. She pretended to hesitate for a while, and this time she whispered, "When I was washing up just now, I suddenly thought of a way. Maybe I can save Brother Wei."
"What method?!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Ying seemed to have grasped the last straw. She held Xia Jingui's hands and asked repeatedly, "Tell me what the method is. If you can really save Lang Ge'er, you will be the great benefactor of our Wei family. I will agree to whatever you want!"
Xia Jingui deliberately hesitated to keep her in suspense. When she pressed him again and again, he stammered, "I told you, sister, don't get upset. Actually, when Lord Sun bullied me, he...he called you by your name."
Have you ever called your name?
Princess Beijing felt a chill in her heart, but she didn't understand what this had to do with saving Wei Ruolan.
Xia Jingui then said in a gentle and persuasive way: "When a man hates another man, he would want to kill the other person; but if a man hates a woman, especially a beautiful woman, he often doesn't want to kill her, but..."
After hearing this, what else did Wei not understand?
Her face suddenly changed and she was about to scold Xia Jingui, but then she changed her mind and realized that it was because of her persuasion that she acted as bait and lost her chastity.
How could I vent my anger on her now because of the same instigation?
But……
As a princess, do I really have to serve a thief like her? !
