At this moment, Huan’er’s entire body was trembling. She had no choice but to tell the truth.
Her heart was already half-dead. She knew that after she returned, she would definitely not have a good ending.
Putting everything else aside, the Princess would not tolerate her for concealing the truth. However, at this moment, she had no choice but to tell the truth. After all, the master was too amazing, She was actually able to investigate such a matter!
This kind of miraculous ability made her even more afraid.
“This servant really didn’t intend to harm the young lady…” Huan’er sobbed.
“Take me to the place you went to that day. If you can’t find that place, then I will have to find that Bao Yi you mentioned. Since you have made a mistake, you should work hard to make up for it. It’d be better for your conscience.” Xie Qiao did not dare to say that she could definitely protect this maid
servant’s life.
She was not her maid servant. Moreover, it was an unintentional act to lead Zhao Jialing out of the city. However, it was intentional to conceal the Commandery Princess’ itinerary later on.
The most important thing for this maid servant was loyalty.
Now that her loyalty was gone, the Prince’s Residence would definitely not be able to keep her. As for whether to sell her or kill her, it was hard to say.
If she tried her best to save Huan’er, when the Princess learned about it later, she might be able to show some mercy.
Huan’er did not dare to refuse and agreed obediently.
Before leaving the city, Xie Qiao first went to look for that unhygienic woman.
‘When the woman saw Xie Qiao’s carriage, she was already a little nervous and afraid. When Xie Qiao opened her mouth to say what she had done secretly, her face turned even redder.
“Twontt do it again! I won’t do it again in the future. I really know my mistake. Please don’t punish me for my money…” The woman was so scared that she was about to cry.
Of course, the guard who followed Zhao Xuanjing was the one who did it.
‘The guard was extremely brave and had a waist token and a knife. He was obviously not an ordinary person. How would she dare to lie?
The reason why this woman spat into the well… was even more bizarre.
She had a well in her house, so she did not need to go to the well outside to fetch water. However, the neighbor next door did not have one. This neighbor’s words were a little harsh. Usually, she would always say that her family used to be rich and noble, but now that her child was useless, she could not
beat them in the argument. Not only that, they were telling the truth, and this made her feel aggrieved
There were also other neighbors who kept saying that her child was fat and insisted that he eat less. They also said that her child was so fat that he would not be able to marry a wife in the future and would even have a short lifespan!
How vicious were these words?!
She was really angry, so she secretly did that. She felt much better when she saw those people drinking her spit every day.
‘When Xie Qiao was at the door, she really saw the child of this family.
He was… quite fat.
Being rich was great, it would not bother other people. It was just that it was not beneficial to one’s health. Moreover, the neighbors had probably watched this child grow up and watched this mother disregard everything. Perhaps they could not help but worry for her family, so they spoke frankly.
This woman must have listened to a lot of advice.
However, she did not take any of it to heart, so at this moment, Xie Qiao did not say much, wasting her breath.
After dealing with this matter, Xie Qiao took advantage of the fact that it was not dark yet and went out of the city.
It was not too far away. It was a village near the outside of the city. There was only a small path with weeds by the side of the road. It was said that the village was also sparsely populated, so there were very few people passing by. It was no wonder that the person called Bao Yi dared to lay his hand on the
Commandery Princess at that time and not worried of being discovered by passers-by.
