Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

"Since Madam Meng doesn't know, come, send them back, including Master Qi..."

Madam Meng blurted out, "No!!"

She would be killed and her son would be in danger. Two maids had already died when she arrived.

Xiao Zhixing's eyes were filled with coldness. "Your safety has nothing to do with me. Since Madam Meng was not involved in this matter, she must have offended someone elsewhere. I have no obligation to protect you."

Madam Meng couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground. "Wuwuwu, it's all my fault, my fault, I tell you, I tell you..."

"I asked my maid to secretly sell those jewelry and handkerchiefs. Someone happened to come and buy them. They said they would melt them down and make new jewelry."

"And handkerchief, handkerchief, that person said that his master secretly admires you and wants a few of your patterns as a keepsake..."

Facing the growing anger of Xiao Zhixing and his son, Mrs. Meng trembled:

"I, I thought that there were only a few handkerchiefs with your name on them, and he offered 10,000 taels, so I asked the maids to embroider a few pieces according to the previous ones. Woo woo woo, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't know they would use it to frame you..."

Madam Meng knelt up and kowtowed, "Please, please save me, save Meng Li, I don't want to die, Meng Li knows nothing, he, he respects you the most, Qingluan, please save us for the sake of our deceased grandparents!"

She couldn't rely on her daughter and son-in-law. She was really scared by the killer. She was afraid of death, but she was even more afraid of implicating her son.

She knew that only Xiao Zhixing could save her.

Xiao Zhixing's expression was cold, "You have a kind heart."

Xiao Yuanshan was finally able to speak. He was so angry that he almost wanted to hit someone, "Asshole! Asshole!"

"Come here! Take this stupid woman back. I will divorce her on behalf of my brother today!!"

He is now the head of the Xiao family, so it would be most appropriate for him to handle the matter personally, so as to avoid people accusing Xiao Zhixing of being mean to his elders.

Qi Mengli stood there in a daze, feeling dizzy.

But no one cares about his feelings anymore. At this point, the truth has basically been revealed.

Someone had indeed conspired to frame Xiao Zhixing. It was a conspiracy that started when she entered the Gentlemen's Courtyard last year.

Xiao Zhixing sneered repeatedly, "Good, very good, what a good trick!"

The surging anger and murderous intent made it difficult for everyone nearby to breathe.

But Qian Fen was still shouting, his face full of shock of being deceived, "No! No way! How could it be fake?! No! I would not recognize the wrong person! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am not mistaken, do you really not recognize me? Or are you pretending not to recognize me on purpose?"

Qian's mother also cried, "Yes, the face is exactly the same, I can't be mistaken, my God, what is going on?"

Someone muttered, "That could be someone pretending to be the prince."

"That's right. Don't you know that there are so many talented people in this world? There seems to be some disguise technique. You must have been deceived by a fake."

Everyone thinks that the wise and powerful Prince Yuansheng looks down on Qian Fen and the Qian family.

Qian Fen was stunned and dejected, as if the sky had fallen, "Fake? A lie?"

Qian's mother hugged her son and cried, "Son, you have to cheer up, we have been cheated!"

"Tsk, where there is something hateful, there must be something pitiful. People are greedy and will get their comeuppance sooner or later."

Now, Qian Fen’s leg is broken, his fame and fortune are gone, everything is over.

"But it is also possible that the prince really had dealings with Qian Fen, and that was why he was caught and this was a set-up..." someone murmured.

"She can deny knowing Qian Fen to save her reputation, and the Qian family can do nothing about it."

Yes, this explanation seems to make sense.

Xiao Zhixing frowned: "Momei!"

Mo Mei immediately picked out a few people from the crowd who were gossiping and causing trouble.

"I am upright and I am not afraid of what you say to my face." Xiao Zhixing looked at the wretched middle-aged man in the lead, "Come on, if you are right, I will reward you. If you are wrong, you have to pay me with your tongue."

"I, what I said is wrong? If it's not groundless, and you have the money and the relationship, why would others think of using this to plot against you?" The middle-aged man said bravely, trembling.

"You are right. There is no smoke without fire. I also want to know where the smoke and fire come from."

Xiao Zhixing laughed horribly, "Qian Fen, tell me yourself, when did I first meet you? What was the exact day and time when did I meet you?"

"There can't be two Xiao Zhixing in this world. My daily routine is extremely regular. I go to the Gentlemen's Courtyard, the military camp, the royal palace, and court meetings. I have countless followers around me. I also want to know how I can get out of everyone's sight and meet you."

Qian Fen was in a daze, "I, I don't remember clearly, but the first time we met was at noon on the tenth day after the competition in the Gentlemen's Courtyard. On the way to my house, I accidentally fell and bumped into your horse..."

"Very good. Continue. Who was with me at that time?"

"There is your guard, I can't remember the others."

"You don't even remember the eight giant guards around me?"

That was the unique anti-counterfeiting mark that she carried with her, alive and one-of-a-kind, and there was no other copy of it in the world.

"I remember, it is indeed the Giant Guard..."

Xiao Zhixing pressed on, "How many of them followed me at that time?"

"Eight people, all eight giants are here!"

Xiao Zhixing sneered, "That's really unfortunate. During those two days, only two of them were with me. The other six were training in the Sunan Army. All the soldiers can testify to that!"

Qian Fen trembled, "Maybe, maybe I got it wrong..."

"Mistakenly remembered? Well, let me first tell you about the time you fell in front of my horse. As everyone knows, my horse Xue Ye is a thousand-mile good horse that is smarter than a child. Even my father can't get close to her. It's a miracle that a stranger like you didn't get kicked to death by her. Could it be that you are the peerless beauty in some storybook?"

There was laughter all around.

Xiao Zhixing continued, "I did go to the military camp at noon that day, but there were only two giant guards beside me who never left. Countless people along the way should be able to testify to this. Your eyesight is too poor. How could you make a mistake with such conspicuous people?"

"Tell me! What do you know?"

Xiao Zhixing shouted angrily, scaring Qian Fen so much that he couldn't stand it anymore. "Please spare my life, my lord. Please spare my life. I am innocent too. I was deceived. I just wanted to get close to you. She said she was Prince Yuansheng. How dare I doubt her? I know nothing!"

Qian's mother's face also changed. She begged again and again, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty, please spare my life. How could we country folk know that someone would dare to impersonate you? We are innocent. Please spare my life. You see, my son's leg is broken and he has been punished. Please spare his life!"

Xiao Zhixing was about to speak.

"They are lying!!" Suddenly, a sad female voice sounded angrily.

"Give way, everyone, give way."

A man appeared, protecting a distressed mother and daughter.

The mother knelt down and shouted angrily, "Qian Fen, Old Lady Qian, you are lying. You know that man is not Prince Yuan Sheng!!"

The three members of the Qian family seemed stunned and looked at the person in front of them in disbelief.

Li Xiao asked, "Who are you? Why are you accusing Qian and her son of lying?"

Half of the woman's body was covered in blood and she was weak. She was filled with resentment. "Your Majesty, Prince, and all the lords, I am Chen, Qian Fen's wife who left me. They drove us away and wanted to kill us all. Fortunately, a brave man saved us, so we survived!"

Everyone looked at each other, unexpectedly there was a new witness appearing.

This play gets more and more exciting the more I watch it.
