Chapter 131 Come on, I'm not afraid
Overnight, rumors were flying all over Yunze Mountain!
"The prince has taken away Miss Ming'er's innocence!"
"The Crown Prince's wife came to Yunze Mountain because she couldn't tolerate Ming'er. On the surface, she was nice to Ming'er, but in fact, she was secretly trying to kill Ming'er!"
"Ming'er was never sent back to Qinglian Temple by the Crown Prince's wife. Even Master Huijing was implicated and disappeared with Ming'er!"
This news is like a bomb!
The people who heard the news were talking about it.
"Where did this rumor come from? It's impossible, right?"
"I also think it's unlikely. We all saw with our own eyes how much the Crown Prince's wife helped Miss Ming'er."
"That's right. Didn't you say yesterday that the Second Young Master liked Ming'er?"
"Why does this matter sound so complicated?"
"Let's not jump to conclusions yet."
"Yes, let's see what's going on first."
"If it is a rumor, the Crown Prince's wife only needs to invite Miss Ming'er back for everyone to see, and these rumors will be self-defeating."
"Yep!"
After some things happened, everyone has become calmer and will not believe anything they hear.
However, everyone wants to know the follow-up of this incident which has caused the farming work to be delayed.
When County Magistrate Gao heard these rumors, he was furious!
There must be something wrong with this matter!
He immediately went to Xiao Jincheng to inquire about the situation.
"Grandpa, don't worry. Ming'er is just being held captive by Ji Chuhe. Mother and I have discussed this method to force Ji Chuhe to hand over Ming'er. If she can't hand over Ming'er, these rumors will become the truth, and she won't be able to defend herself!"
"If she really can't hand over Ming'er, it proves that Ming'er has met with an accident! If Ming'er confesses everything, and gives you and your mother away, or even me away, do you know what serious consequences this will cause?" County Magistrate Gao asked in a deep voice.
"Grandpa, my mother has already thought of all these things. At this point, we have been completely exposed, and the secret fight has become an open fight. My mother said that she is not afraid even if we fall out. My father favors Xiao Yan'an, which is very unfair to me. Xiao Yan'an has no ability or qualifications to inherit the throne! Why can't I fight for it?"
County Magistrate Gao was also furious.
In his heart, Xiao Yanan is a useless piece of shit!
His grandson is a hundred times better than Xiao Yan'an!
"My mother also said that my uncle has become a rising star in front of the emperor. As long as the news gets out, even if my father gets evidence to prove that I am against Xiao Yan'an, he can't do anything to me! He always has to consider the emperor. My uncle has just become a rising star in the court, and my father is targeting me. Doesn't this seem like he is challenging the emperor?"
This is indeed true.
County Magistrate Gao was not so worried anymore.
After all, Prince Huaiyang has always been a very humble character in front of the emperor.
Otherwise, King Huaiyang would not have lived to this day and still have his own fiefdom!
With her daughter's appearance and talent, she deserves the title of princess!
Although County Magistrate Gao completely stood on the side of his daughter and grandson, he had other ideas in his mind.
"If Ming'er resists and doesn't betray us, she will definitely be in danger. All the time and money we have spent on her over the years will be wasted! If she doesn't resist, then we can only follow your mother's arrangement. Remember! This matter must not affect your uncle! Do you understand?"
"I understand, Grandpa. I am closer to my uncle than to my father. His career directly affects my destiny. I will have to rely on my uncle in the future."
"It's good that you have this idea."
Seeing Xiao Jincheng's good attitude, County Magistrate Gao also calmed down.
"Your uncle has just become a rising star in the current dynasty. I wonder how many eyes are staring at him! If the news of Huaiyang spreads to the imperial capital, someone will definitely make a fuss about it. Don't forget that Xiao Yan'an's grandfather is the Duke of Rong. The power of the Duke of Rong's Mansion is deeply rooted in the imperial capital. It would be easy to deal with your uncle, a rising star who has no backing and has not yet established a firm foothold!"
"Grandpa, didn't you say that the Rongguo Mansion is an old faction that the emperor doesn't like, and that they will withdraw from the center of power sooner or later? Moreover, news from the imperial capital says that the people in the Rongguo Mansion act low-key. Isn't it because they are afraid that the emperor will find an excuse to deal with them? So, we don't need to be so cautious!" Xiao Jincheng has been feeling depressed over the years!
He had been acting in front of Xiao Yan'an, but finally he could face Xiao Yan'an with his true face!
"I can't just sit back and do nothing about this matter. After all, I'm in charge of Yunze Mountain!"
Xiao Jincheng was delighted.
This means that grandpa will also lend them a helping hand!
"Thank you, Grandpa! Grandpa, my mother and I have always been with the Gao family! When I get the position of the crown prince, Huaiyang will be completely under our control!"
Ji Chuhe has not expressed his opinion and just keeps doing what he is supposed to do, as if he knows nothing about these rumors. He even went to the farmland with Xiao Yan'an to investigate the situation.
Wherever they went, people looked at them with complicated eyes.
"Madam, County Magistrate Gao is here." Xiao Yan'an suddenly reminded her.
"It seems like they are ready to break up. They have been pretending for so many years and don't want to continue pretending."
When Xiao Yan'an thought that Xiao Jincheng was deceiving him, a strong anger rose in his heart!
"Do you think I'm afraid of them?" Xiao Yan'an looked in the direction of County Magistrate Gao and clenched his hands secretly.
County Magistrate Gao and a few others walked towards Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an.
"Crown Prince, Madam." County Magistrate Gao bowed.
"County Magistrate Gao, what a coincidence, you are here to inspect the fields as well?" Xiao Yan'an took the initiative to greet him.
"Yes, I just walked over here and found that the people were a little slack in their work today. After asking carefully, I learned that there were rumors spreading widely, which affected farming." County Magistrate Gao looked at Ji Chuhe.
"Madam, there is one thing I want to ask you. Did you really send the girl named Ming'er back to Qinglian Temple?"
"Why do you say that, County Magistrate Gao? Can I still hide the person?" Ji Chuhe asked with a smile.
"But there are rumors that the prince and Ming'er are already together. Madam, you can't accept it, so you killed Ming'er! I was ordered by the prince to supervise Yunze Mountain. I have the power to investigate everything that happened in Yunze Mountain. So, I have sent people to Qinglian Temple to look for Ming'er. As long as she is safe in Qinglian Temple, I can also clear the name of the prince and his wife."
"Then I'll have to trouble County Magistrate Gao." Ji Chuhe responded in a calm voice.
County Magistrate Gao stared at Ji Chuhe, but he did not notice any panic on Ji Chuhe's face.
Isn’t Ji Chuhe afraid that his people will report that they haven’t found Ming’er?
"Come here, ride at full speed to Qinglian Temple and look for Ming'er's whereabouts!" County Magistrate Gao ordered in a deep voice.
