Chapter 251 Jingyi's Spring (Part )
The matter was finally sorted out clearly. Jingyi secretly thought to herself that she must give this Wanyan Princess a good verbal lesson. After all, it was just a minor friction. As long as the store could give that Duolar Princess a suitable discount, the matter should be able to be smoothly resolved.
However, what no one expected was that as soon as Jingyi's proposal came out, Princess Wanyan exploded like a lit firecracker.
Her eyebrows were raised, her eyes wide, and she not only flatly rejected Jingyi's proposal, but also ruthlessly reached out and pushed the defenseless Princess Dolar to the ground. Then, without looking back, she led her servants away in a swagger, leaving only astonishment and anger on the ground.
This sudden change instantly made the atmosphere tense and solemn. The originally calm scene suddenly fell into chaos. Princess Dolar sat on the ground, her face full of grievance and anger; Jingyi was also furious, her face blue, her chest heaving violently.
The crowds of onlookers around were whispering to each other, pointing at the departing Wanyan Gege and constantly scolding her.
"How arrogant! He doesn't even give the current princess any respect!"
"That's right. He's so domineering in front of the princess. I can't imagine what he'd be like in front of other people!"
Everyone was discussing this, clearly extremely dissatisfied with Wanyan Gege's behavior. Jingyi had completely discarded her previous gentle demeanor, her expression becoming unusually serious. She knew full well that Wanyan Gege's actions were truly outrageous. If her true identity wasn't investigated and punished, she was afraid that more people would be bullied in the future.
So, while waiting for the doctor to confirm that Princess Dolar's injuries were not serious, Jingyi immediately and decisively ordered the servants around her: "Go, thoroughly investigate the origins of this Princess Wanyan!"
She clenched her fists tightly and thought to herself: "I just don't believe it! Could it be that if this little girl runs away, I won't be able to track her down?" When she thought of this, she couldn't help but snort coldly and frowned.
Then she began to ponder the girl's family background. What kind of family could raise such a troublemaker? Could such a family truly be a cancer in society? The more she thought about it, the more infuriated she became.
Fortunately, the imperial family was always decisive and efficient, and it didn't take long for them to uncover the identity of the woman. It turned out that this woman was quite prominent, a descendant of a prominent Manchu family belonging to the Bordered Red Banner.
Her father was the eldest son of Lord Luocha, the Minister of Rites and Commandant of Cavalry of the current dynasty, and she herself was the eldest granddaughter of Luocha, and the niece of the current Fourteenth Lady.
After learning this information, Jingyi unconsciously raised her eyebrows, a look of surprise on her face, because in her impression, the Fourteenth Aunt had always been quite low-key and reserved.
Completely different from Uncle Fourteen who is always jumping around and causing trouble everywhere, Aunt Fourteen rarely appears in occasions such as various banquets except for some essential social activities.
Moreover, the Fourteenth Aunt in my memory had a gentle and graceful temperament, and her voice was soft and gentle, just like a spring breeze that made people feel comfortable and relaxed. However, the behavior of this Wanyan Gege in front of me was not at all like her aunt's. It was a world of difference!
Not only that, when Jingyi continued to look through the information in her hand, she was surprised to find that it recorded a large number of stories about Wanyan Gege abusing her power to bully others.
These included forcing girls she disliked to break off their engagements and using her family's power to interfere in other people's marriages; and she would use all kinds of pressure to help her bestie snatch someone else's fiancé; even more outrageous was that she actually secretly and cruelly scratched the face of a poor girl just because she couldn't stand her bright and beautiful appearance.
As for the reason for the conflict between the little Princess Dolar and Princess Wanyan whom they had met before, the truth was finally revealed at this moment.
It turned out that by chance, Wanyan Gege met Doral Gege's elder brother, Doral Fulancha.
This Dolar Fulancha was a leader among the younger generation of the Dolar family, exceptionally talented and handsome, considered the most outstanding young man in the clan. Naturally, Wanyan Gege fell in love with him at first sight.
However, for a man as outstanding as Dolar Fulancha, his future wife must possess the ability and character to support the family. Although Wanyan Gege was also the eldest legitimate daughter, Fulancha's mother secretly sent someone to investigate and quickly gained some unknown insider information. Based on these considerations, they ultimately decisively rejected the marriage proposal from Wanyan Gege's family.
The marriage arrangement failed to go as planned, and Wanyan Gege's love turned to hatred. One day, when Duolar was out shopping as usual, she happened to run into Wanyan Gege, who had planned it all along.
It is a coincidence. If Jingyi had not come to her rescue in time, according to the original plot, Wanyan Gege would not only have caused trouble, but would have even forcibly abducted the little Dolar Gege and deliberately ruined her innocence, thus bringing shame and disgrace to the entire Dolar family.
Jingyi couldn't help but lament the decline of morals. Such a shameful act was truly jaw-dropping. After all, the people she usually associated with were all well-known ladies from the upper class. However, she had never seen a Manchu princess with such bad character as Wanyan Gege.
Thinking that Wanyan Gege might continue to persecute the Doral family, Jingyi did not dare to delay in the slightest and quickly sent her men to the Doral mansion to deliver a letter.
No matter what, it would never be wrong to be more cautious when facing a sinister and cunning person like Wanyan Gege.
After making these preparations, Jingyi returned to the palace, still upset about the incident. After careful consideration, she decided to tell Buerhe the whole story.
After all, in her opinion, people with evil intentions like Wanyan Gege are not born that way. Their family education and growing environment must be to blame.
After finishing all this, Jingyi and Minyan began to relax and have fun on the farm. As they were strolling on the path, they suddenly heard a burst of laughter not far ahead.
Looking up, I saw the little princess from the Doral family walking towards me with a smile on her face. However, surprisingly, she was not alone this time. She was accompanied by the talented young man from the Doral family, Fulancha.
Jingyi couldn't help but scrutinize him with curiosity. Fulancha had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a face as handsome as a jade, and a figure as straight as a pine tree. His splendid attire only accentuated his extraordinary demeanor. She marveled inwardly: his reputation truly lived up to its reputation!
Just as the information described, this young man was truly a child of destiny. His beauty was undeniable, and his distinguished family background was well-known. His conversation was elegant, generous, and courteous, making him a warm and welcoming presence. Even more remarkable, at such a young age, he had already earned the respect and appreciation of the current emperor, and his future was undoubtedly bright and brilliant.
When the two groups met, Fulancha naturally smiled and went forward with his sister to thank Jingyi and the others. After a few pleasantries, they chatted happily and decided to go hunting together in the woods.
You know, these three women are not the kind of delicate and timid people, especially those who are of Manchu descent. They have learned the skills of riding and shooting since childhood, and drawing the bow and shooting is a piece of cake for them.
Afterwards, several of them mounted their horses, bows and arrows in hand, and galloped deep into the woods. Along the way, the clatter of horse hooves startled countless birds. Soon, they discovered numerous signs of prey.
Jingyi and the others, with their precise archery skills and agility, soon made some gains. Hares, pheasants and other prey were continuously brought into their pockets, and everyone's face was filled with excitement and joy.
However, just as they were returning with a full load and about to leave the forest and return to Zhuangzi, something strange happened!
A group of mysterious men in black clothes emerged from all directions like ghosts. Without saying a word, they rushed towards Jingyi, and the sharp blades in their hands went straight for her vital points.
The incident happened suddenly, but fortunately Fulancha reacted quickly, drawing his sword almost instantly and rushing forward to meet the enemy. At the same time, the secret guards who had been hiding in the shadows to protect Jingyi's safety also emerged one after another, engaging in a fierce life-and-death struggle with the group of men in black.
The final outcome was unexpected. Jingyi was unharmed, but in stark contrast, Fulancha stepped forward to protect her and blocked the fatal knife of the man in black. In an instant, half of his arm was bleeding profusely, and the wound was so deep that the bone was visible, which was shocking.
The captured men in black were even more bizarre. Without even waiting for the secret guards to question them, they bit open the poison sacs hidden in their mouths without hesitation and fell to the ground dead in an instant.
As a result, the seemingly ordinary assassination incident suddenly escalated and became complicated. If it was just a simple assassination, then the murderer could be arrested and brought to justice according to normal procedures for trial and sentencing.
However, at this moment, the mysterious and dangerous existence of the Death Soldiers was involved. You know, not just anyone can control and drive the Death Soldiers.
Furthermore, these people had been heading straight for Jingyi from the start, indicating that their sole target was Jingyi! Who, exactly, harbored such a deep hatred for Jingyi, so deep that they were willing to resort to assassination? Suddenly, the situation grew increasingly confusing and elusive.
