Chapter 19 Broken Bodies

When the fourth prince heard the scream, he subconsciously turned around and looked at it. Xiao Lingxiao also withdrew his feet and said softly, "Is there something wrong?"

"Let's go and have a look." The fourth prince wanted to come and hold Xiao Lingxiao again, but Xiao Lingxiao ignored him and walked in the direction of the sound.

Everyone quickly found the screaming woman. The woman's face was pale and she was sobbing, and the maid beside her was also trembling. She was trembling and pointing to the moon door in the distance, "That... there are... there are dead people!"

When the young men heard the words, they hurriedly ran to the moon gate to check. Soon, someone came back and said to everyone, "Really! It's really... a lot!"

Xiao Lingxiao followed the crowd to the moon gate. As soon as he approached, he could smell the pungent smell of blood. When he looked inside, he saw the spacious courtyard covered with blue stone slabs. The ground was full of blood, and there were fragmented fragments of corpses everywhere. The cold moonlight shone all this, and the scene was very terrible.

Some women were curious and came to watch the bustle with everyone. Unexpectedly, it was so scary here that women's frightened crying came to Xiao Lingxiao's ears one after another. At this time, the fourth prince turned around and found Xiao Lingxiao standing behind him. He also saw everything in front of him. He hurried over and pulled Xiao Lingxiao aside and said softly, "Why are you here too? Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xiao Lingxiao didn't seem to be in the mood to quarrel with the fourth prince. He said coldly, "Don't worry about me. Your Highness, you'd better deal with these things quickly."

The fourth prince nodded approvingly and left quickly.

Not long after, a large number of guards surrounded the yard over there, and the guests were invited back to the banquet hall. Princess Mingci sat in the middle, holding the puppy in her arms, with an anxious and uneasy face. The fourth prince naturally stood up to preside over the overall situation. After briefly talking about the situation, he asked everyone not to leave the hall at will.

Most people are talking about this matter in a low voice, but Xiao Lingxiao has been looking coldly at the eldest lady sitting not far away. The first lady was just taken to the Moon Gate to see the bodies by several ladies. At this moment, there was no blood on her face. Although she was barely calm, she had no time to say anything to others.

Xiao Lingxiao got up and came to the eldest lady, pulled a cushion and sat down. In the eyes of others, the mother and daughter seemed to be very close, but the eldest lady felt the piercing chill from Xiao Lingxiao's body.

"My mother didn't look well. Was she scared by those bodies?" Xiao Lingxiao said to the old lady in a very soft voice, "It's really miserable. There are so many pieces of corpses, and I don't know how many people have died. Does it look like it's all men? They were killed in the middle of the night. I guess they are all overestimated. Mothers don't have to be sad for them. People are watching. They must be harmful and suffer for themselves.

Xiao Lingxiao's words were like sharp thorns, which penetrated into the eldest lady's heart. The eldest lady looked at Xiao Lingxiao in horror. She was just suspicious, but now she can be sure that the broken bodies in the yard must be the people she arranged to kill Xiao Lingxiao!

How could it be like this? How did she do it!

The eldest lady looked at the deep and strange light in Xiao Lingxiao's eyes and couldn't help shivering.

At this time, Jing Zhaoyin hurried with the government officials.

Xiao Lingxiao smiled at the corners of her mouth and got up and went back to her seat.

Jing Zhaoyin is about 30 years old and looks very capable. He simply appeased the eldest princess, and then took someone to inspect the yard. Before long, a servant hurried in and asked, "Who is Mr. Xiao and Mr. Xiao?" Jing Zhaoyin, please come over.

Xiao Ranjun and Xiao Fengming got up and went out with the servants. After about a time of incense, Jing Zhaoyin took everyone back to the hall.

Princess Mingci's face was pale and she hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Jing Zhaoyin frowned and said, "In the evening, the carriages and horses of the Xiao family were scattered by the crowd, and Miss Xiao was attacked. Fortunately, Mr. Xiao and Mr. Xiao and Mr. Xiao arrived and saved Miss Xiao. The two princes ordered people to report this matter to me, and I immediately led people to the place where Miss Xiao was attacked. However, when we arrived, the bodies of the thieves killed by Mr. Xiao and Mr. Xiao disappeared. Now the broken bodies that appear in the princess's house are identified as those thieves.

At this time, the fourth prince had come to Xiao Lingxiao's side and said to Xiao Lingxiao with some reproach, "You were attacked on the way, why didn't you tell me?"

Xiao Lingxiao stared at him and said, "I was invited to the eldest princess's birthday banquet, but I was ambushed and attacked. If I want to say this in public, won't it make others think that I have any dissatisfaction with the eldest princess? The thief has been killed by my eldest brother and third brother. What is the truth of the matter? I believe Lord Jing Zhaoyin will find out.

When Jing Zhaoyin heard Xiao Lingxiao's words, he couldn't help taking a look at Miss Xiao. After she came back to life, Jing Zhaoyin was responsible for dealing with some aftercare matters, and naturally heard many rumors about Xiao Lingxiao. Rumor has it that the eldest lady of the Xiao family is submissive in the Xiao family. Now when I see her, I didn't expect her to be so reasonable. Jing Zhaoyin secretly praised, but on the surface, he just nodded and answered, "Miss Xiao's attack must have something to do with the fact that the bodies were transferred to the eldest princess's house, so please ask Miss Xiao to explain the attack in order to find out the reason."

With such a clue, it is inconvenient for Jing Zhaoyin to keep others. It was late at night, and everyone said goodbye to Princess Mingci. The eldest princess of Mingci was frightened. Although the fourth prince was worried about Xiao Lingxiao's affairs, he had to send the eldest princess back to the inner house to rest first.

Xiao Huanyu said to the eldest lady with a resentful face, "Mother, we don't know anything about the elder sister being attacked, so we don't have to stay with her, do we?"

The old lady calmed down and thought about it. This matter was too strange. She also had to go back quickly and ask the man how to arrange it. So the first lady said that she was not feeling well, so she took Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue to leave first.

Xiao Lingxiao looked at the three people's figures out of the hall, snorted coldly, and thought to himself, "Do you want to get out?" Humph!

The master came a little late, so Jing Zhaoyin asked Xiao Lingxiao and others to wait a little longer. At this time, the sixth prince Li Jingxuan came to Xiao Lingxiao and whispered, "I heard that the other party's poisonous arrows have been shot into your carriage? How can you come to the birthday banquet so calmly?

Xiao Lingxiao smiled when he heard the words, "I have died once. Does the Sixth Highness think I will still be afraid of a poisonous arrow?"

Li Jingxuan shook his head with a wry smile, "You are really different."

"Why is Your Highness still here?" Xiao Lingxiao asked.

"Well... I have been assisting the Ministry of Criminal Justice in handling cases. Naturally, I am very interested in such a strange case." Li Jingxuan found a reason. In fact, he knew best that he just wanted to stay and find an opportunity to say a few words to Xiao Lingxiao.

"The fourth brother is obsessed with Miss Lingxiao, but Miss Lingxiao doesn't seem to want to continue this marriage?" Li Jingxuan pretended to ask inadvertently. At the end of the banquet, he saw Xiao Lingxiao leaving the banquet and immediately chased him out, but was preempted by the fourth prince. When Li Jingxuan saw the two talking, Xiao Lingxiao's expression was always cold, and even seemed to kick the fourth prince at that moment. Li Jingxuan was really curious about what Xiao Lingxiao thought of the fourth prince.

Speaking of the fourth prince, Xiao Lingxiao did not hide his disgust for that person. "There was no marriage between us. In the past, I was blind and dumb. Although I had the identity of the prime minister's direct daughter, I was not worthy of the fourth prince. I was curious about why the emperor gave this marriage."

Li Jingxuan lowered his head and sighed. He could more or less guess what his father was thinking. If Xiao Lingxiao hadn't been like that in the past, his father would not have referred her to the fourth prince.

When Xiao Lingxiao saw Li Jingxuan sighed, he was even more puzzled. The royal people's thoughts seem to be so deep that Xiao Lingxiao knows that he can't ask anything and doesn't want to talk more than Li Jingxuan.

At this time, ** came from outside the hall. Xiao Lingxiao smiled secretly and knew that a good play was coming.

The next moment, the first lady was helped by Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue and came in from the outside. The three of them were pale, and the first lady gasped, as if she was about to faint.

Seeing this, Jing Zhaoyin hurried forward to ask what was going on. Xiao Huanyu was full of tears and trembled and couldn't speak. Xiao Huanxue was very calm. She said coldly, "When my mother opened the door of the carriage to get on the car, she found that the carriage was also full of broken corpses. My mother was frightened, and the carriage was still parked in the eldest princess. In front of the house, Lord Jing Zhaoyin, please go and have a look.

Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly took people away when he heard the words, and the eldest lady was helped by Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue to sit down and calm down.

Xiao Lingxiao slowly came to the old lady and greeted her softly, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

The old lady shrank in horror, but Xiao Huanyu, who stood aside, couldn't help standing in front of the eldest lady, pointed to Xiao Lingxiao's nose and scolded, "You little bitch! What kind of good person is pretending to be? Don't think I don't know. You did all this!"

Hearing Xiao Huanyu say this, the eldest lady hurriedly pulled her to stop. Xiao Huanxue also hurried forward to stop her sister from talking heavily again. However, the more she was stopped, the more difficult it was for Xiao Huanyu to suppress her anger. She scolded sharply, "Xiao Lingxiao, you bereaved star! God will confiscate you once, and you will come back to harm others! B bitch!"

"Hit!"

Xiao Ranjun quickly stepped forward, pulled Xiao Lingxiao behind him, stared at Xiao Huanyu and said angrily, "Second sister, why did you say such a thing in public? Ling Xiao is your sister! She just came to greet her mother. Is that wrong?

Seeing this, Xiao Huanyu shook off the eldest lady and pulled her hand fiercely. He pointed to Xiao Ranjun's nose and scolded, "Why do you pretend to be a big brother in front of me? You are the same as that bitch, you are all mourners! You shouldn't go back to Xiao's house! When my real eldest brother comes back, I will definitely kick you all out of the door of the Xiao family!"

As soon as Xiao Huanyu said this, he heard a crisp sound and slapped her in the face.

Xiao Huanyu was shocked and angry. He looked at the person who hit her in disbelief, "You... dare you hit me!"
