Chapter 136 Xiao Shi Defection
Xiao Shi's legs went weak and she was so frightened that she could only beg for mercy tremblingly. However, as she saw several people about to drag her down and kill her, a coat was draped over Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi looked at the man, feeling three parts frightened and seven parts surprised.
"What are you doing!" Meng opened her eyes angrily.
Feng Jia half-knelt down and said, "Xiao Shi is my maid. Although she framed me, we are still master and servant. She was dragged away naked. I should put on a winter coat for her. Is that not too much?"
Although this ninth girl was a woman, she was so magnanimous, even more magnanimous than some men. Everyone couldn't help but show appreciation and admiration for her.
The Ninth Prince had an uncertain expression on his face, but the Third Prince showed a bit of admiration. He was originally thinking of backing out, but he started to think again.
Meng wanted to say something, but she gave up because of Xie Qian's warning gaze. She just looked at Feng Jia with a pair of cold and vicious eyes.
"Xiao Shi, I hope you will be born into a good family in your next life." Feng Jia gently tied the thin belt for her to wear, and as he slightly turned sideways, he spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I will give you two choices. Either identify Meng or you will die."
Xiao Shi trembled all over and looked at her in disbelief, but saw that there was no strange emotion on Feng Jia's face. Her chest heaved, but a string broke in her heart.
"Can you, can you save me?" Xiao Shi said softly in a trembling voice.
"Not only can I save you, but I can also make you Xie Zisheng's aunt." The thin ribbon was tied into an exquisite knot. Feng Jia smiled with pity and regret on her face, as if she was reluctant to let this maid die like this, but her voice was as cold as ice. "Xiao Shi, Third Brother's aunt is much better than Sixth Brother's concubine. You can decide for yourself what you want."
After saying that, Feng Jia stood up, and the servants who had been waiting rushed over immediately, holding Xiao Shi's arms on the left and right and began to drag her out. However, at this moment, Xiao Shi's originally silent eyes burst into a light of survival.
She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she broke free of the restraints and rushed to Feng Jia's feet. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed every time she spoke: "I was wrong! I was so wrong! I framed you so badly, but you were so generous that you put on a winter coat for me..."
Xiao Shi looked deeply moved and repentant: "I'll tell you everything!"
What does this mean? How can it be seen that there is still injustice here? Everyone looked at each other with different expressions.
Feng Jia looked worried: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Shi said, "It was the Madam who ordered me to do this! The Madam told me to say this!"
Feng Jia set her eyes on Meng, "Mother?"
Everyone looked at Meng with doubt in their eyes. Meng was so scared that she took a big step back. Her face was covered with sweat. The finger she pointed at Xiaoshi was trembling with anger: "You slut! What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Xiao Shi, don't dare to say anything! The aphrodisiac was bought by the eldest lady at a high price in the ghost market, and then she gave it to me and asked me to put it in the wine of the Ninth Miss!"
Everyone was shocked and even more confused: "Then why were you and the Third Young Master the ones who got hit?"
Xiao Shi's mind was in a state of confusion, but she caught Feng Jia's gaze. She followed her line of sight to the winter coat draped over her shoulders, and immediately said, "Because I didn't want to harm Miss Nine! So I didn't drug her! Miss Nine drank a little too much and was a little tipsy, so I helped her to the hall. But I was so flustered that I accidentally left her winter coat on the banquet table. I happened to meet the Third Madam on the way, so I asked her to take care of it while I returned to the banquet table to get it..."
After a pause, tears flowed down Xiao Shi's face: "But, I met the Third Young Master on the way!"
"The Third Young Master may be drunk, and he walks unsteadily. I wanted to help him, but I was too humble to do anything, and I was afraid of overstepping my authority. Just as I was about to leave, he pulled my hand away and dragged me into the west wing! And then... and then..."
"And then what happened?" The Third Prince really wanted to know what happened next.
"Then I lost my innocence! Woo woo!" Xiao Shi cried.
The Third Prince looked uninterested.
Feng Jia looked at Xie Zisheng: "So what you mean is that Third Brother forced you?"
"Yes!" Xiaoshi bit her lip.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xie Zisheng's eyes widened. "You are just a servant, how can you be worthy of a young master like me?! Even if I was drunk, I wouldn't be so bad as to be so stupid!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Yes, how could a maidservant, with ordinary looks, attract the favor of the Prime Minister's son and be dragged to bed with him?
Feng Jia sighed, "Third brother, you have been in the military camp for so many years, and you are young and full of vigor. I can understand that you want a maid to warm your bed! But you can just tell me that if you want Xiaoshi, and Xiaoshi is willing, I will naturally not say anything. Why would you go and snatch her and do such a shameful thing!"
Everyone was talking about it.
"Miss Nine is right. The Third Young Master is of noble status. Normally, he would not treat a maid like this. But he just came back from the military camp and has lived in seclusion for so many years... It's understandable!"
"You can't do such a thing at your sister's enthronement banquet! Are you that horny?! You have no manners! And he's the legitimate son of the Prime Minister!"
"a shame!"
The Third Prince also shook his head, looking very confused: "Xie San, why are you so hungry that you don't care about food?"
Xie Zisheng was furious. What a mess. However, facing the Third Prince, he could only hold back his anger and politely bowed: "Your Highness, it is absolutely not the case! Please don't believe it!"
Xiao Shi cried even harder: "Master, you can't be so heartless!"
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart!" Xie Zisheng pointed at Xiaoshi.
Xiao Shi bit her lower lip tightly, not daring to say anything more, but Feng Jia asked, "Then why did you frame me?"
"It was the Madam! She just told me secretly!" Xiao Shi said, "The Madam said that as long as she could pin everything on you, the Ninth Miss, she could make me the Third Young Master's concubine! I was bewildered for a moment, so I turned against the Ninth Miss and betrayed my master! But I didn't expect that the girl would be so good to me. I deserve to die!"
Xiao Shi crawled to Feng Jia on her knees, hugged her legs tightly, and cried, "Ninth Miss! Please forgive Xiao Shi!" She seemed to be crying heartbreakingly, but in fact, she didn't shed a single tear.
"Mother, do you have anything else to say?" Feng Jia said.
Mrs. Meng wanted to rush over and tear Xiaoshi's mouth to pieces. She said gloomily, "How can you trust a maid's words? She just said she was accusing you, and now she's accusing me. Can such a person tell the truth?"
Feng Jia smiled: "So mother means that none of this was arranged by you?"
"Of course not!" Meng shouted angrily.
"Didn't your mother buy this crane on the black market?"
"This..." As soon as these words came out, Meng's face twisted a little, and instantly became very weird. The next second, she shook her head and said, "Of course not!"
Feng Jia bowed her hands and said, "Your Highnesses, Father, since Mother said she could have done it, Lan Zhao is upright and has nothing to fear from his own shadow, but Xianhe Lai would not appear here for no reason. I request that you call the Lord Shi from the Dali Temple and investigate this matter thoroughly! Let's see who is lying! Who is innocent! Who is framing me!"
"Since Miss Nine asks for it, let's do it!" The Third Prince waved his hand and made the final decision.
Soon, the Dali Temple's troops arrived and followed the black market aphrodisiac line. In less than an hour, the spy reported back. Shi Xun whispered a few words to the two princes, and saw that the third prince's face was furious.
"Evil woman Meng, why don't you kneel down for me!"
Meng, who had been praying that her crime would not be discovered, felt as if the taut strings in her heart were mercilessly plucked by a hand when she heard the words. Her eyes turned dark and she sat down listlessly. It was all over!
