Black Lotus Concubine's Case-solving Notes

Yes, this ninth girl was abducted by someone for a day and a night, but she came back unharmed. How is that possible?

Everyone looked at Feng Jia with intriguing eyes.

Feng Jia looked at Meng's twisted face, which dared not speak but was angry, and smiled: "Mother, what do you mean by this?"

"What aunt means is that you disappeared for a day and a night, don't you know that your innocence is still there?" Xie Changrong stood up with a sneer.

"Chang Rong!" Third Aunt Jiang pulled her in horror.

"Mother! Why are you pulling me here? Don't you find it strange? According to Fourth Aunt, there were more than one killer like that. How could Xie Lanzhao escape from the jaws of death without any injury?" Xie Changrong crossed her arms and said with a look of anticipation: "Ninth Sister, do you have any unspeakable secrets? Or maybe the wound is not on the surface, but... heh."

Yes, how could it be possible to be unscathed?

Is it true that this Ninth Miss has lost her innocence as is said?

The ladies began to whisper to each other, and their expressions towards Xie Lanzhao began to reveal contempt and disgust.

Feng Jia said nothing, but Xie Haoxuan's eyes were burning with anger: "Tenth sister, please be careful with your words!"

Princess Nancheng also frowned and looked at Xie Changrong. There was really no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion who was a good person.

"Second brother, what Tenth Sister said makes sense." A clear and wonderful voice came from the side, and everyone turned their eyes to Xie Xiyi who was speaking.

Ever since Xie Xiyi's hypocrisy was exposed in public last time, she was afraid to look Xie Lanzhao in the eye. That feeling was too bad, as if she was being scrutinized all the time, and all the dark sides of her heart were completely exposed to the sun.

So when Xie Lanzhao was being chased that day, she actually felt a glimmer of hope in her heart.

She hoped that the look in her eyes would disappear forever, and it would be best if Xie Lanzhao would disappear with it!

"What do you mean by that?" Xie Haoxuan frowned.

Xie Xiyi looked at Feng Jia, his eyes slowly moving down to her light blue dress: "I remember that Ninth Sister was wearing a green dress yesterday, why did she change her clothes today?"

After a pause, she slowly moved her eyes upwards, directly towards Feng Jia: "Where is my sister's skirt?"

I was wearing a green skirt yesterday, why did I change into a blue skirt today?

Could it be that it was contaminated by something?

The ladies looked as if they had suddenly understood something.

Xie Changrong raised the corners of her mouth: "Ninth sister, so, you have really lost your innocence? Do you know how important a woman's chastity is in this world? If I were you, I would never come back alive. I might as well find a rope outside and hang myself!"

Xie Haoxuan's face turned pale. He didn't expect the Xie family to be so hostile: "Tenth sister! How can you say such shameless words!"

"Am I shameless, or is it Xie Lanzhao?" Xie Changrong's eyes were like will-o'-the-wisp fire in the forest, cold and vicious: "After doing something like that, she dared to come back. If the news gets out, we sisters will be dragged down by her!"

"He really is from the countryside! He would do anything to survive! He is so vulgar!"

Xie Haoxuan was about to tell the truth, but suddenly saw Feng Jia next to her slowly shaking her head at her.

Meng's eyes were filled with tears, but she felt extremely happy. Losing her innocence was more painful than death! Xie Lanzhao's reputation was ruined today, and she wanted to see how a slut who could sleep with anyone could compete for the prime minister's favor! How could she go against her!

"Zhao'er, is what they said true?" Meng covered her chest with her hands, looking incredulous.

Feng Jia said calmly: "Mother, please stop acting."

"Xiaojiu! How did you talk to your mother like that?" Xie Shubai supported Meng, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, and stared at Feng Jia, "Do you know that your mother didn't close her eyes all night because of you, just because she was worried about your safety!"

Feng Jia smiled and said, "Did you stay up all night because you were worried about me? Or did you stay up all night because you thought I was dead and were so happy?"

"How dare you!" Xie Shubai glared at her fiercely.

Meng pounded her chest tremblingly: "Zhao'er, mother is really doing this for your own good! Why do you miss mother so much! My Zhao'er! Mother's heart hurts so much!"

"Ninth Miss, although Madam Meng is not your biological mother, she has been worried about you for a whole day and night. We have seen it all! It is really rude of you to talk like that!" One of the noble ladies couldn't stand it and spoke up for Madam Meng.

Feng Jia raised a sharp smile and said, "Aunt, you said that my mother was worried about me all night. Let me ask you, if your daughter was hunted down and came back unscathed, what would you do first?"

The lady was stunned when she asked this question.

Feng Jia pressed the issue: "Will you emphasize in front of everyone that your daughter didn't come home overnight like my mother did, letting people imagine all sorts of things? Or will you be like my mother, letting others spread rumors about me and not arguing?"

The lady was choked and looked embarrassed.

Feng Jia cast a scrutinizing gaze at everyone: "What about the other aunts? Will they be like this too?"

"I don't think so," Feng Jia looked at the angry expression on Meng's face and raised the corner of her lips: "So I told mother to stop acting. I'm afraid you wish I would die in your heart, right?"

Most of the noble ladies were experts in domestic fighting. After Feng Jia's guidance and associating the causes and consequences, they naturally understood everything.

The faces of the few enthusiastic people who had originally comforted Mrs. Meng couldn't help but turn a little cold.

"Ninth girl." The old lady reminded her at the right time, asking her to be careful. This is not Xie's house. Many officials' families are here. After all, Meng represents the face of the Prime Minister's House, so she can't lose face too much.

Since the old lady has spoken, Feng Jia can only give up.

"Just tell me how you escaped." The old lady said.

Feng Jia said: "That day, several assassins chased me to the edge of a cliff and wanted to kill me. I panicked and fell off the cliff. Unexpectedly, a big tree on the edge of the cliff caught my clothes and saved my life. Those assassins probably thought that I would die if I fell off the cliff, so they didn't come down to look for me."

"What happened next?" a woman asked.

"Then I came down from the tree and got lost in the jungle. I was hungry and thirsty, so I passed out. When I woke up, I saw my second brother."

Everyone turned their eyes to Xie Haoxuan, who nodded, "We did find Sister Nine near the cliff. At the time, she... ahem, her coat was torn by a branch, making it difficult for her to walk, so she changed her clothes when she came here."

"So that's it!" Everyone was puzzled.

"Since the Ninth Miss has returned safely, let's all go. What's left are the family affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Let them solve them themselves." Princess Chengyang said.

The old lady naturally had the same plan.

Meng clenched her fists and bit her lower lip.

When everyone was about to leave, the woman in blue spoke up again: "Princess Nancheng, if everyone leaves today, my reputation will be ruined."

Nancheng County Princess frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Although I am innocent, I cannot withstand the rumors in the capital. Lan Zhao is just afraid that someone will make a fuss about what happened today and tarnish my reputation." Feng Jia knelt on the ground.

Princess Nancheng cast her eyes on Meng, as if thinking about something.

"What do you want to do?" Princess Nancheng asked after a while.

Feng Jia smiled and said, "I want to have my body checked right here!"

On-the-spot physical examination?!

Everyone was shocked.

"How can a woman ask for a body examination on her own initiative? This has never happened before!" said a woman.

"Throughout the ages, women have always been weaker than men. They have been slandered and have nowhere to turn to for help. The only way out is to die as a warning to others."

Feng Jia's voice was calm but powerful: "Princess Nancheng, Lan Zhao will set a precedent today! He will risk his reputation in the future to prove the innocence of all women in the world and find another way out!"
