Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

The old princess thought for a while, then clenched her dragon-headed cane even tighter, her eyes filled with anger.

Yes, Xu Qing is a well-mannered child and shouldn't do such a thing. But if someone wants to use this to annoy the palace, it's understandable!

"How dare anyone do such a thing... ask Doctor Hu to come and see!"

Zhao didn't expect Su Xuqing to realize so quickly that she was being plotted against.

She is a young girl who doesn't know anything. Shouldn't she just cry after losing her virginity?! How can she still be so clear-headed?

Thinking of what she had been ordered to do, she calmed down again.

Su Xuqing had been paying attention to her, and when he saw her expression change, he sneered in his heart.

In her previous life, she panicked when she was caught, and was only concerned with explaining her innocence, and was saddened by the Shen family's dislike.

But it doesn't matter. In this reborn life, she will never let anyone harm her again! She will make those people pay for the debts they owed in their previous lives with blood!

Shen Xuanheng said nothing, but just stared at her with a smile, pinching her tight belly with his rough fingertips, his eyes meaningful.

Su Xuqing felt her scalp tingling for some reason when he looked at her.

When the servants heard the old princess' words, they hurried to do it. Not long after, the doctor arrived.

After checking Su Xuqing's pulse, Doctor Hu's eyes were a little complicated: "Miss Su has indeed been poisoned by some vile drugs, and the dosage is not small."

The old princess's expression became even uglier.

This is going to harm their palace!

"Investigate! Investigate for me! Who is so bold? Find all the chopsticks, bowls and food that Xu Qing has touched!"

Zhao couldn't help swallowing and trying to calm her pounding heart.

Min'er persuaded Shen Chejin to take this medicine. If the truth is exposed, Min'er will not be able to marry into the palace, and she may not even survive!

Fortunately, the things have been cleaned up and nothing unusual can be found!

The maid who had gone out came back soon, looking embarrassed: "Old Princess, those things were packed up after the banquet... I can't find anything now."

Everyone looked at Su Xuqing again.

Although she was poisoned by drugs, there is no evidence to prove that the drugs were given to her by someone in the palace.

Zhao completely put aside her panic, sneered, pointed at Su Xuqing's nose and said sarcastically: "Who knows if you took the medicine to commit adultery with Master Jiu in order to avenge Master Shen, and then you turned around and accused others of harming you!"

Hearing this, the women of the Shen family were a little undecided and looked at Su Xuqing with inquiring eyes.

This doesn't seem impossible...

The old princess also frowned slightly, thinking that it was a little abnormal for Su Xuqing to be so calm.

Su Xuqing heard her bite back and laughed instead: "Aunt, you were born in a humble family, and you are just a concubine's wife. I'm afraid you haven't seen much of the world."

"I am the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and my grandfather is a powerful first-rank military commander. Even if I don't marry Shen Chejin, I can marry another nobleman. He is just a bastard grandson of the royal mansion. If I marry him, he will be marrying above his station. Why should I gamble my reputation and life for revenge?"

Zhao choked and was speechless: "But there is no evidence to prove that you were drugged!"

"Who said no?"

Su Xuqing curled her lips and took out an embroidered handkerchief from her arms.

"I remember that I felt unwell after drinking a cup of tea. The tea tasted strange. I also accidentally knocked over the cup and some of it got on my handkerchief. Please, doctor, take a look to see if someone has tampered with the tea."

Doctor Hu took the handkerchief and sniffed it: "It does smell like the medicine!"

Zhao's face turned pale.

Su Xuqing saw her look and sneered in her heart.

After her rebirth, she realized what her situation was, and used a handkerchief dipped in tea to preserve evidence, so as to avoid suffering the same loss as in her previous life!

She raised her voice and said, "Old Princess, the one who poured the tea was a maid named Cuichun. Could you please ask her over?"

The old princess looked at her deeply, then looked at Su Xuqing, a trace of regret flashing in her eyes.

This child is sober and smart. If she hadn't been schemed against, it would have been her useless grandson who was marrying up.

It’s a pity that this happened… I’m afraid such a good child will be ruined. Even if we find out that someone harmed her, she won’t be able to be my granddaughter-in-law.

"Since the incident happened in the palace, the palace will naturally investigate the cause."

The old princess spoke calmly, and then looked at Su Xuqing kindly: "Xuqing, don't worry, if it is really as you said, I will give you an explanation. Come, bring the maid here!"

Zhao's lips trembled and she wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say.

Not long after, several maids came in, holding Cuichun and saying, "Old Princess, when we passed by, Cuichun was about to throw the medicine bag into the lotus pond! It was really this lowly slave who did it!"

The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Please spare me, old princess! I have been bewitched by a ghost!

Someone ordered me to do this!"

The veins on the old princess's hand that was holding the dragon-headed cane popped out, and she pounded the cane hard: "Who is it?!"

Cuichun's body trembled, and she spoke hesitantly: "Yes, it's Jin Ge'er..."

The old lady was stiff all over.

Shen Chejin's mother, Li, had just rushed over and flew into a rage when she heard this: "Bitch! How dare you slander my son!"

Her lips trembled as she knelt down in front of the old princess. "Mother, you watched him grow up! He was sensible and obedient since he was young, how could he drug his fiancée? Someone is trying to harm Jin'er!"

The old princess closed her eyes, her face full of fatigue.

She has lived to this age, what kind of shady and disgusting things has she not seen? It must be that the useless grandson was determined to marry that concubine's daughter, so he plotted against Shen Xuqing!

But if we investigate this matter further, it will only bring more shame to the palace, and there will be no other result! For now, the only solution is to suppress the matter!

After opening her eyes, a cold light flashed in her cloudy eyes: "Drag this maid and the servants who saw this to death! No one is allowed to mention the matter between Xiaojiu and Xuqing!"

Then, she dismissed everyone and looked at Shen Xuqing: "Qing'er, the palace owes you a debt of gratitude for this matter. You can ask for compensation if you want! It's up to you to deal with that beast in any way you want! Just spare his life!"

When Su Xuqing heard the old princess say this, she knew that this matter would not cause her any trouble anymore, but rather it was the Zhennan Palace that was in the wrong.

But the palace would never really punish Shen Chejin to death. Instead of breaking up with him, it would be better to think about his own interests.

After thinking for a moment, she spoke calmly: "Old Princess, now that things have come to this, I have no way out. Since Shen Chejin doesn't want to marry me, why don't you tell the public that the marriage between the two families is between me and the Ninth Young Master?"

The old princess was stunned, and Shen Xuanheng, who had been watching the show on the couch, was also startled.

This is... Xiaojiu who is going to marry her? !

The old princess's hands were shaking. She had treated this child as her dearest child since he was born. Xiaojiu was also very hardworking. He was at the top of his class in studies and martial arts since he was young, and he was also very beautiful.

Unfortunately, when the child was fourteen years old, he developed a strange disease and vomited blood every day. The imperial physician predicted that he would not live past the age of twenty-five!

As a result, Xiaojiu became decadent, spending all his time in the company of other women and becoming a famous playboy in the capital. She and her husband were reluctant to discipline him and just wanted him to live a happy life.

But no girl was willing to marry him, so Xiaojiu left alone. As a mother, she was heartbroken!

She wanted to agree immediately, but Shen Xuanheng said nonchalantly: "Miss Su, I have at most three years left to live.

If you marry me, you will just have to wait to be a widow. Are you really willing to do that?"

The phoenix eyes swept across Su Xuqing's delicate face, and her tone was somewhat meaningful: "I have many brothers, and you are a widow, but you can be bullied by anyone. Maybe after my parents and I die, you will be kicked out of the house. By then, even if you cry to death in front of my grave, I can't help you. Why bother?"
