Inside the cabin.
Xie Ruojiao heard her sister-in-law calling her name and was about to go over to see...
Xie Lingxi grabbed her hand and said, "Stay here."
When you go out, your secret will be exposed.
"Why?" Xie Ruojiao was puzzled, "Sister-in-law seems to be calling me?"
"She's not calling you, she's calling someone else." Xie Lingxi said calmly.
Xie Ruojiao's mind was filled with questions. Besides me, who else is named Jiaojiao on this boat?
After a while.
Murong Shili floated out of the water holding a wet woman.
Jiang Rongji and Xiao Nanxing brought a group of maids to the deck on the first floor. The maids helped carry the people aboard.
The woman's hair was disheveled after falling into the water.
It was dim underwater and couldn't see clearly.
At this time, the water finally came out...
Jiang Rong said with a grateful expression, "Thank you, King Duan, for saving me! Thank you so much!"
"I heard that someone fell into the water, how could I just die and not save him..." Murong Shili was overjoyed. He was waiting for these words from you, Prince Bei!
Unexpectedly, Xie Ruojiao accidentally fell into the water, but it was a pity that Xie Lingxi was missing.
But since it was an accident, everything was even more seamless.
It saved the Northern Palace from being suspicious of him.
Anyway, once the goal is achieved, it doesn’t matter if one is missing...
"Thank you so much, Prince Duan, otherwise I would not know how to explain to the Yongning Marquis if something happened to Miss Dong on our ship..." Jiang Rong finished the second part of the sentence with a smile on his face.
Murong Shili was about to get up from the water when his body suddenly froze. What? Miss Dong?
And at this time...
The maids had already lifted Dong Xiqin's hair, and under the command of Xiao Nanxing, who had his back to everyone, they pressed Dong Xiqin's abdomen...
"Cough cough cough..." Dong Xiqin choked out a mouthful of water, woke up from coma, and said angrily when she saw Jiang Rong:
"Did you use snakes to harm me on purpose..."
"Miss Dong, please thank King Duan for saving you. He just passed by and rescued you from the water..." Jiang Rong reminded.
Dong Xiqin paused for a moment, turned around in disbelief, and saw Prince Duan still soaking in the water next to him. Then he looked at himself, who was all wet. He felt that something was falling out of the sky. He was very shocked and excited, and then he took a look at it. With a shy look on his face:
"Thank you so much for your help, King Duan. It's just...it's just that the little girl and King Duan are so...so...I have no shame to live..."
There is no Xie Lingxi, but there is King Duan.
Dong Xiqin was very satisfied.
But Murong Shili's face was as dark as water, and he felt for the first time that the Northern Palace was trying to trick him...
"I thought I heard you calling Jiaojiao just now-" Murong Shili stared at Jiang Rong.
Jiang Rong smiled lightly, "Yes, I saw Dong Xiqin falling into the water. I panicked and called Jiaojiao to come over and help save her."
A cold light flashed in Murong Shili's eyes. She was making excuses. She clearly used the word Jiaojiao to mislead herself...
The next moment, Murong Shili realized that the Northern Palace knew what he wanted to do and that he was setting up a trap for Xie Ruojiao...
"Did King Duan think that his sister-in-law fell into the water? You really meant well, but you heard it wrong. However, no matter who fell into the water, King Duan's righteous act of helping others is the same." Jiang Rong smiled half-smile.
Murong Shili was very angry.
The Dong family is just a member of the Dong family, the one at the bottom of the general family in the West, how can it compare to the Xie family!
No matter how arrogant the Xun family is in relying on the prince, the real most powerful people in Daxia are the Xie family!
Unless the Xie family has no chance, and the Dingguo Palace has no chance, he will want the Dong family.
The Dong family is his replacement in his heart.
But now it’s over...
He and Dong Xiqin had already had this kind of intimacy in full view of the public...
The emperor will definitely issue an edict to grant the marriage.
He can only marry.
In his previous life, Dong Xiqin was the person he carefully planned to marry after his secret attempt to seduce the Duke of Dingguo and killed his wife to make room for her.
In this life, Dong Xiqin was his forced and helpless choice.
No matter how he looked at Dong Xiqin, he didn't like it.
But Dong Xiqin looked like he was threatening her with death. He could only frown and said: "Miss Dong, there is no need to say this. I will definitely come to discuss your marriage with Marquis Yongning and give you an explanation for today's matter."
Dong Xiqin wanted to clap her hands and applaud, but she just pretended to be shy.
Murong Shili finally reluctantly took Dong Xiqin away.
The Xie family already knew about his plan, but the Duke Dingguo's mansion didn't know if it would work...
He desperately needs a goalkeeper.
You can marry Dong Xiqin first, and then secretly contact the Duke of Dingguo. If it works, I will repeat my old trick and change to another in-law. Otherwise, there will be at least one Dong family available.
……
Xie Ruojiao, who had finished watching a play on the second floor, still didn't quite understand and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
Xiao Nanxing immediately said, "Second Miss, you don't know something. All this is thanks to our Crown Princess for predicting the enemy's opportunity, and thanks to our Crown Prince for strategizing..."
Xiao Nanxing praised the two masters very much.
Jingzhe carried two unconscious people out of the cabin...
The only remaining servant on the ship had no idea what was going on.
Jingzhe poured water on the person to wake him up and interrogated him carefully...
Both of them had their mouths sealed tightly and refused to confess:
"We just collected the money and were ordered to damage the boat... we don't know anything else..."
Can Murong Shili arrange such things...
Naturally, he paid for his life.
Otherwise, an investigation would implicate him personally.
"It seems that Prince Duan gave them money to buy their lives..." Xiao Nanxing had seen this kind of thing too often and looked at Xie Lingxi to report.
Xie Lingxi's voice was cold, "Then take their lives."
"Yes." Jingzhe accepted the order.
Drag the two men down.
Only then did Xie Ruojiao recover from the huge shock:
"So, Prince Duan originally wanted to make me fall into the water, and then...force me to marry him? He is just trying to eat swan meat! Even if I commit suicide and become a nun, I still won't fulfill his wish!"
"Second sister, don't worry. Today we had a fight with King Duan, and we have made it clear. He knows that we are aware of his plans, and we don't dare to have any more plots against you." Jiang Rong comforted with a smile.
Xie Ruojiao was a little scared, if she fell into Prince Duan's scheme...
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Xie Ruojiao reached out and hugged Jiang Rong, feeling very moved in her heart, "Thank you so much for helping me with your brother!"
Such an accident happened.
Naturally, Xie Ruojiao would not buy any pictures and would follow Jiang Rong and the others back to Beiwang Mansion.
……
In the eldest princess's mansion.
Dong Xiqi laid out a game of black and white chess pieces, with a look of confidence on his face.
She carefully conceived a plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
As long as she gives Dong Xiqin a slight hint and gets rid of Jiang Rong, she can marry Xie Lingxi. Dong Xiqin, this idiot, will definitely be a handy knife.
When Jiang Rong is dead, even if Dong Xiqin is found guilty, it will have nothing to do with her.
And she could take advantage of Xie Lingxi's loss of his wife to comfort him and take advantage of it...
"County Master, the news just came out from the Dong family. Miss Qin fell into the water and was rescued by King Duan. Now the two families want to discuss marriage, so we have invited our eldest princess to come over..." The maid came in to report.
Dong Xiqi was stunned, "What? Cough cough cough..."
Dong Xiqin is going to marry Prince Duan? Then her plan...
"Cough——" Dong Xiqin was so angry and anxious that she coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot.
"County Master, take the medicine quickly -" the maid was shocked and hurriedly offered Ningxin Pills.
