Chapter 239 Don’t be too shameless!
Zi Yi was visibly panicking, "Your Highness, Zheng Qi and Zheng Ba are from the Nangong family. Their words cannot be trusted!"
"General Nangong!" Seeing Baili Moyan about to speak, Shu He spoke first, "I think Zheng Qi and Zheng Ba are not in Biluoyuan right now, right?"
Nangong Ze shook his head, "I came here alone today, they are stationed at the military camp."
Shu He nodded and said to Baili Moyan and Zhu Zifeng, "Today's incident happened suddenly. It's impossible for the Yuanbei Camp to know about what happened in the Biluo Courtyard in time, right? In other words, Zheng Qi and Zheng Ba have no idea what is good for the Nangong family and what is bad for them at this moment! So, why can't we trust what they say?"
"But, can you guarantee that the Nangong family won't do anything when they call for help?"
"I guessed you'd say that!" Shu He walked over to Nan Qi and patted him. "Later, have Nan Qi and the general next to Prince Nan Yu go together to invite someone. With them here, you shouldn't have to worry about anyone messing with things, right?"
Ziying frowned, clenched his hands tightly, and wondered what to do.
When I went there this morning, Zheng Qi and Zheng Ba were indeed outside the tent. Plus, the tent was just a thin layer of waterproof cloth, which didn't block much sound. Given their skills, they definitely heard what she said.
The timing of her visit had already aroused suspicion, and with the testimonies of Zheng Qi and Zheng Ba, it seemed that she had no chance of winning no matter how much she argued.
She subconsciously looked at her young lady, but the face behind the veil was obviously filled with coldness and disappointment.
Shu He looked at her, almost understanding her mental activities. She looked at her with a smile in her eyes and said again, "Miss Ziying, do you think we still need to ask for help?"
Ziying met her gaze, his hatred tinged with despair, and then a surge of resentment. "Even if I was the one who passed this news to Miss Nangong, so what? Isn't my news true? Didn't those disaster victims die from taking your medicine?"
Hearing this, the curve of Shu He's mouth deepened again. He really confessed himself!
Zhang Zhirou was furious. "So, you're admitting that you provoked the Nangong family just to frame my sister He, right?!"
"Brother, she admitted it! It's not my or my second brother's fault! She deliberately provoked me!"
Nangong Xiyun felt relieved. Ziying admitted it, so her elder brother wouldn't blame her anymore, right?
Nangong Ze's expression didn't look much better, and his attitude towards Nangong Xiyun was still a little cold.
She wasn't the main cause of this incident, but that didn't mean she was wrong!
If she wasn't holding a grudge, how could she be so easily provoked?
"Oh my God! This woman is actually lying! The young master and young lady of the Nangong family were wrongly accused by her!"
"Could it be that Madam Doctor was also framed by that Grand Tutor's daughter?"
"What do you mean by 'Grand Master's daughter'? She's clearly a vicious woman! She'll be punished sooner or later for doing something so outrageous!"
Listening to the people's accusations against Zhu Zifeng, Ziying felt anxious and regretful, and shouted to the crowd, "This has nothing to do with my young lady!"
After the crowd fell silent, she knelt in front of Baili Moyan, "It's me! I'm angry that the young lady was punished because of this woman, so I've been keeping an eye on her movements, looking for an opportunity to take revenge on her!"
"Last night, when I learned that she had killed someone with her medical treatment, I immediately went to find Miss Nangong, hoping that she would put pressure on this woman, stir up the anger of the people, and force King Dongli to punish her!"
"But I was just delivering the message. It wasn't my young lady who killed the patient. Why are you using such vicious words to accuse her? Your Highness, please speak a fair word for my young lady!"
At this time, Ziying was still pinning her hopes on Baili Moyan, hoping that he could speak for the young lady.
But Baili Moyan is so smart. How could he speak so casually when the situation is unclear?
"Ziying, shut up!" Zhu Zifeng's gaze swept across Baili Moyan's face, and a hint of disappointment flashed through his heart.
"You hid it from me and did something so provocative, and you still refuse to repent! You are so wrong!"
Her voice was filled with pain and regret. "You've been by my side since you were little. You're my maid. If you make a mistake, it's as if I made a mistake! The people are right to blame me! Don't argue for me anymore!"
Zhu Zifeng was born with a gentle and delicate appearance, with a slender figure. Her sobs of pain and disappointment could make the people who had previously accused her feel a little guilty, even without looking at her expression.
Could such a delicate and sensible young lady be a person with a vicious mind?
"Miss Zhu has completely distanced herself from the matter with these few words!"
Shu He laughed out loud, unable to help but want to applaud her. Zhu Zifeng was really good at utilizing his own advantages and the psychology of ordinary people!
This trick of pretending to be weak and righteous made the people doubt whether he was being too harsh on a weak woman.
Zhang Zhirou also sneered and agreed, "That's right! Miss Zhu is telling everyone that all the bad things are done by the servants, and she, as the master, knows nothing!"
"But is this possible? How could a servant, a slave, be so bold as to do such a provocative act behind the master's back? Wouldn't that be a rebellion against Tian Gang?"
Following Zhang Zhirou's words, the people began to waver again, feeling that this was indeed unreasonable.
Seeing Zhu Zifeng and Ziying being forced into a corner, Lu Qiao hurried forward to defend herself, "My young lady has always been kind and gentle, never throwing tantrums with servants like us. My sister was so eager to protect her master that she did this wrong thing. What's so strange about that?"
"It's you, on the other hand! So many people died in the disaster camp, and instead of blaming the culprit, you're targeting an innocent person and constantly causing trouble. Are you here to seek justice, or are you here to watch the show?"
Lu Qiao's words made Shu He's eyes light up, and his opinion of her changed a little.
This Luqiao looks young, but she has a very smart brain.
These two simple sentences not only explained why Ziying would interfere in other people's affairs, but also refocused the conflict on Shu He, directly bringing Zhu Zifeng's situation to the edge of the safety line.
What a good maid!
Zhang Zhirou saw the people's gazes turning to Shu He again, so she quickly stepped forward and asked, "You, the Zhu family, keep saying that my sister killed someone with her medical treatment. I want to ask, what makes you so sure?"
"When you were interrogating Miss Nangong just now, you kept asking for evidence. Where is your evidence now?"
Seeing Zhu Zifeng speechless, Zhang Zhirou's charming face was filled with surprise. "No way? You don't have any evidence?"
"You can't be so shameless, can you? On the one hand, you force others to provide evidence to prove that what you say is true, and on the other hand, you falsely accuse my sister He. How come your Zhu family is responsible for everything, good or bad?"
"What? Do you, the Zhu family, think that the people of Beisha City are fools? You can toy with them at will?"
After hearing these words, Nanqi's eyes were full of joy, and he almost clapped for Zhang Zhirou openly!
Zhu Zifeng's face turned pale and blue, and he couldn't utter a word in rebuttal.
The people of Beisha City began to riot, apparently provoked by the last sentence, and started cursing at Zhu Zifeng.
Zhu Zifeng bit his lips until they bled after hearing those unbearable words!
Ziying and Luqiao stood beside Zhu Zifeng. Facing the angry people, they couldn't help but take two steps back, with a hint of fear in their eyes.
Baili Moyan saw the situation getting out of control and waved his hand, "Everyone, be quiet!"
