The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply
Chapter 16 Attempted Murder
In the book, he is a child prodigy who has won the top three honors in the imperial examinations at the age of sixteen. He is a talented person that has long been spotted by the provincial school, and it is claimed that as long as he passes the imperial examination, he will be admitted to the provincial school immediately!
So he relied on his reputation to collect jade, exchanged it for points, and then redeemed it for reading potions, because he had just passed the examination for a scholar in February this year and wanted to take part in the autumn examination, and he needed to memorize a lot of books.
Seeing how busy he is now, I guess his grades are not good enough, so he came to the capital city ahead of time to build some connections!
Bai Zhaozhao looked at the man in gorgeous clothes again, who was well-mannered and gentle. She asked Zhang Ruolan if she knew who he was?
Zhang Ruolan looked at him and said, "He is the second son of Lord Zhong's family. He is currently studying in the government school."
Wow, Cheng Jiayu is quite capable. She chooses the top connections directly. I don’t know what price she paid.
After observing carefully for a while, Bai Zhaozhao found that there was something wrong with Cheng Jiayu's eyes. He would occasionally glance at the waist of the second young master Zhong, where hung a piece of top-quality mutton-fat white jade!
Bai Zhaozhao understood. She called Xiao Ya over, gave her a few instructions, and Xiao Ya left.
At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out and pushed Zhang Ruolan's back hard. She screamed "Ah!" and staggered forward, about to fall into the pool!
The people around also exclaimed!
Bai Zhaozhao suddenly used his Qinggong skills and reached out with a difficult tilt to pull Zhang Ruolan back!
In just a few breaths, the noble ladies around witnessed an attempted murder!
After the scare, several people said that they saw a hand shadow retracting as Zhang Ruolan flew out.
It's just that they were more focused, and everyone's eyes were focused on the opposite side at the time, and just now they all looked at Zhang Ruolan, so no one saw whose hand it was.
Zhang Ruolan was still in shock and leaned in Bai Zhaozhao's arms. A maid quickly reported it to the prefect's wife. The male guests also noticed the sudden change. Young Master Zhong walked over directly.
His face looked a little bad, and he said in a deep voice: "Although my pond is not deep, it can still drown people. Ladies, please be careful. Don't joke like this!"
A joke? Bai Zhaozhao sneered inwardly. Is this how the superiors handle things? Make a big deal out of a small one?
At this time, Mr. Zhang II also came over. He asked bluntly, "Miss Bai, who was with you at the time? Did you notice who was trying to murder Lan'er?"
Bai Zhaozhao lowered his eyes: "I didn't notice."
Murder, this word was used well. Instantly, several noble ladies' faces darkened. One of them asked, "What do you mean, Master Zhang? Are you saying that all seven or eight of us are suspects?"
"Mr. Zhang, are you planning to report us to the police and have us all arrested?"
"Even if we are closer, what does it matter? The maids and women around here come and go, and it's just a matter of extending a hand. Who knows who Miss Zhang has offended?"
"That's right, we didn't have any quarrel with Miss Zhang today!"
"Yes, the person who had the argument was far away!"
This is referring to Fang Jingyao, who had been watching coldly from a distance and did not come over.
The Second Young Master Zhang was indeed a little impulsive, but he had outstanding grades in the provincial school and had always been unruly. He ignored the attacks of the noble ladies and was about to say something to the First Young Master Zhong, but was pulled by Zhang Ruolan's sleeve and shook her head at him.
In the end, Mr. Zhang said nothing.
Master Zhong did not expect that Miss Zhang would say that she would not pursue the matter, so he successfully classified the incident as an accident. He also reminded all the young ladies to be careful and cautious, and invited the Zhang brothers and sisters to go to the guest room to rest and drink a cup of tea to calm down.
The party continues.
The three of them arrived at the guest room. Second Master Zhang was displeased. "Third sister, what's wrong with you? Even if our Zhang family can't afford to offend the Zhong family, we are still a big family in Linyang County. My father is a fifth-rank official. How can he let you suffer this injustice?"
Bai Zhaozhao said, "Don't worry, Second Young Master. I told Sister Lan not to investigate this matter in public. The eldest Young Master Zhong probably meant the same thing. He just wants the banquet to go on smoothly, but he will definitely investigate secretly. The Zhong family probably doesn't want to be used by others, so they will definitely give the Zhang family an explanation."
Mr. Zhang also calmed down: "Miss Bai is right, I was too impatient!"
Sure enough, after a while, the nanny beside the prefect's wife came over, gave the three people a list, and turned and left.
Bai Zhaozhao saw that the names written on it were the ladies who were closest to Zhang Ruolan at the time, and there was also a map of where they were standing. It was really efficient. Could it be that the Zhong family had secret guards?
When Mr. Zhang II saw this, his face darkened again. Bai Zhaozhao felt that he must have guessed that the person reaching out was Miss Zhang Qi!
Of course, Bai Zhaozhao didn't guess, she saw it out of the corner of her eye, but she couldn't describe the situation at that time.
Zhang Ruolan calmed down at this time: "Second brother, didn't you say you couldn't come?"
Second Master Zhang relaxed his expression and said softly, "I couldn't come here at first, but my mother said that this time we should mainly observe a few young masters, so I came here with my classmates again. Third sister, I think the Tian family is not bad."
"Cough cough!" Bai Zhaozhao suddenly coughed a few times.
Mr. Zhang II asked, "Miss Bai, is there anything wrong?"
Bai Zhaozhao: "Nothing, I just choked."
Then a voice came from the door: "Who are you? Where is my osmanthus cake?"
The three of them looked and saw a boy about seven or eight years old standing at the door. He had a pale face and was dressed brightly, but he had no servants following him.
Bai Zhaozhao walked over and asked softly, "Young Master, there is no osmanthus cake here. Where are the people around you?"
The little boy moved his nose: "Sister, you smell so good!"
Zhang Ruolan also asked, "Are you the young master of the Zhong family?"
"Young Master!" A woman who looked like a nanny ran over and quickly picked up the little boy. "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you that the osmanthus cake is with the Madam?"
She then said to Bai Zhaozhao and the other two, "Sorry to bother you guys, my young master doesn't know the way very well yet!"
Mr. Zhang waved his hand: "No problem."
The nanny took the little boy away, but Bai Zhaozhao seemed to be thinking about something.
Mr. Zhang II asked, "There will be a banquet later, are you guys still going?"
Zhang Ruolan thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead! Backing down from such a small matter is not the style of our Zhang family."
Mr. Zhang's eyes flashed with approval: "Okay."
Then he said to Bai Zhaozhao, "Thank you very much, Miss Bai, for today. I will tell my father and mother about this, and I will go to the Bai residence to express my gratitude someday!"
Bai Zhaozhao said politely, "Mr. Zhang, you are too polite."
An hour later, when Zhang Ruolan and Bai Zhaozhao appeared at the banquet, many noble ladies were a little surprised. The wife of the prefect saw them and calmly invited them to take a seat, with full admiration in her heart.
During the banquet, the male guests and the female guests were not far apart, and both the hosts and the guests had a great time.
When the performance was almost over, a maid suddenly ran over holding the boy and said in panic, "Madam, Madam, it's bad. The young master has had ringworms again and suddenly fainted!"
