After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 160: Is there such a thing?
The prefect of Jingzhao thought about it all the way.

I haven't figured it out yet.

When did the Xie family start having dealings with the Princess's Mansion?

"...Bu Bai, tell me, what is the relationship between the Xie family and the Princess's Mansion? Are they friendly or hostile?"

The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture glanced at Jiao Bubai, who seemed to have a paralyzed face, standing beside him.

Unable to wait for an answer, he began muttering to himself again.

"I think it's friendship."

"Otherwise, why would the princess specially send her personal maid to summon you and me to meet?"

Jiao Bubai corrected coldly: "It's to summon you."

He raised his eyelids and glanced at the Jingzhao prefect: "I was conscripted here."

The prefect of Jingzhao glared at him.

"You rascal! Do you still have any ambition?"

Such a good opportunity to please the superiors, but he didn't even know how to cherish it.

Just know how to take the blame!
Jiao Bubai pursed his lips and said, "Perhaps, the princess just suddenly wanted to ask."

It doesn't necessarily mean that he has a friendship with the Xie family.

"For no reason, why would the princess summon me so solemnly? Just to ask around?"

The prefect of Jingzhao didn't believe it.

He felt that Xie Jiading had obtained protection from somewhere and thus had established a relationship with the Princess's Mansion.

"Before, that person came forward to rescue the person, maybe it was just for the princess's sake!"

The prefect of Jingzhao felt like his hair had fallen out when he thought about the man who had repeatedly stepped forward to rescue Xie Shangqi.

"But this doesn't make sense! Why would the Xie family have such a connection with the Princess's residence?"

Powerless and insignificant.

He was just a sixth-rank Tongzhilang, a person who was waiting to be selected and only received a salary, without any actual job to do.

Is it worth it for the princess to spend time on such a person? It can't be that there is a young man in the Xie family who is handsome and good-looking and has caught the princess's eye, right?
"But I heard from my wife a few days ago that the Xie family is going to be in trouble this time. The unruly second daughter of the family has offended the eldest princess and was imprisoned on the charge of murdering a royal relative..."

At that time, his wife was still very scared.

After all, not long before the Spring Banquet, when his wife was choosing a wife for her eldest son, she was very optimistic about the famous second daughter of the Xie family.

I didn't expect that when I actually met her, this so-called well-educated and well-mannered Miss Xie was just a name in vain!

The prefect of Jingzhao couldn't help but feel even more puzzled: "If the Xie family really had a good relationship with the princess, Miss Xie should have been sent home long ago to clear her name!"

Jiao Bubai was silent for a moment.

"If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. It is useless for you to guess now."

"Once we get to the Princess's residence, we'll know everything."

He pursed his lips and swallowed back the words "Why do you have to bother yourself here?" that were about to come out of his mouth.

However, the prefect of Jingzhao understood from his expression what he did not say.

He kept his mouth shut.

Sure enough, he stopped talking.

But I couldn't help feeling angry.

Jiao Bubai thought about it slowly and talked about Wang Dalang who baked Hu pancakes in the West Market.

"…The reason why we were able to capture Uncle Zhu's gang this time was because of the many strange things that happened at this baked Hu pancake stall."

"It's mostly thanks to the young lady from the Song family."

"However, after this incident, many bad things about the Song family's young lady spread among the people."

Jiao Bubai glanced at the Jingzhao prefect's face and seeing that he remained indifferent, he changed his words.

"The vulgar language not only tarnishes the reputation of the Song family's young lady, but also tarnishes the reputation of our Jingzhao Prefecture."

"Now people outside are saying that our Jingzhao Prefecture is colluding with evil spirits and bending the law for personal gain!"

Jingzhao Prefecture Yin frowned: "Is there such a thing?"
