General is a Villain

Perhaps it was because of what happened that day that made Princess Yun Jiao realize the situation. After that, Princess Yun Jiao no longer came to find trouble with her.

Yi Xiaoqiao spent these two days quite contentedly, gradually getting familiar with the peaches. The peaches even allowed her to go out of the garden, but she was still not allowed to. Rumor has it that she had to wait for Muyi's permission to come back.

Looking at the wide gates of the general's manor that were just inches away from him, Yi Xiaoqiao could only look at them and sigh.

While he was feeling sorry for himself, he saw a guard from the general's manor walking in with a grey-haired old man in his forties or fifties.

The old man glared at Yi Xiaoqiao, his eyes flashing with a hint of stern reproach.

Yi Xiaoqiao was confused and asked curiously, "Peach, who is this person?"

Peach observed her expression and confirmed that Yi Xiaoqiao's suspicion was not an act. She then said, "It seems like the old housekeeper from King Yu's Estate is here to look for the princess."

Looking for a princess? The princess was such a big person, and she had brought so many guards with her this time. Could it be that the prince was still worried, and had even sent people to look for her?

Yi Xiaoqiao rolled his eyes, feeling that there was something fishy going on.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, do you know what the butler is here for?"

Could it be related to her? Princess Yun Jiao was unwilling to give up. She might as well find a few people to testify.

"I don't know. As for the matters of the Prince's Mansion, I can't ask too much."

Forget it, she was Yi Xiaoqiao, not Little Qiao. Even if she did find a witness, so what? Could she really become Little Qiao? There was nothing to fear from the way she sat.

Mu Yi'an received the news and in the end, led the emperor into an urn, causing the northern army to fall into disarray. They hastily fled back to the mountain peak, retreating 50 li without daring to advance any further.

Today, they had just returned from a triumphant return.

"Brother An, why did you just come back? I've been waiting for you for such a long time." When Princess Yun Jiao saw him, she began to tear up.

Mu Yi'an was in a good mood. He immediately felt boundless pity and gave a look to the others. The soldiers all snickered and retreated.

Seeing that no one was around, he then consoled her in a soft voice, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Don't tell me you've suffered some injustice?"

"Brother An, you still dare to say!" Princess Yun Jiao wiped away her tears. "Both you and I know that little Qiao is the little Qiao of my residence. Not only did she not help me, she even let her bully me."

Unexpectedly, because of this matter, he didn't have the slightest bit of consolation or greeting when he returned this time. Instead, he opened his mouth to call for him to vent his anger. That state of mind of Muyi An …

Mu Yi An said helplessly, "How can that be?" How could she dare? "

"Why not? Look …" Princess Yun Jiao pointed to her empty earlobes. "The earrings that you gave me the Brightmoon Pearls last time were broken by her! "I intentionally wore it this time. Now that it's broken, how am I supposed to wear it?"

As she spoke, she slapped the earrings of the Pearl of the Moon into Muyi's hands: "I'm a dignified princess, but I actually wore a broken thing out of the house. If this spread out, people would definitely laugh at me!"

Mu Yi An held the earring and, on the contrary, heaved a sigh of relief: "I thought it was some big deal. So it's a pair of earrings. I'll give you another one later."

"I don't want to!" Princess Yun Jiao twisted her body. "You're protecting her. Even though you know she lied to you, you're still protecting her!"

"I'm not protecting her. I'm just discussing the matter …"

"That's fine. Just tell her to come out and confront me. I can't let her break my earring for nothing. At the very least, she should apologize to me!"

Mu Yi'an nodded his head: "That's fine. Men, invite Yi Xiaoqiao over."

Earring? What did it have to do with her? Princess Yun Jiao had obviously come to cause trouble for her that day, but she hadn't made a complaint.

She would not take any responsibility for this scam.

"It wasn't me who broke it, it was her who dropped it. Peaches can testify."

Mu Yi An said, "Peach, what's the situation like? Let's start with the truth."

"Yes sir!" He repeated the story of Peach once more, "It was indeed like what lady said. It was accidentally knocked off, and it was not intentional."

"You are spouting nonsense. Back then, it was clear that you were intentionally causing trouble by pushing and shoving the princess. How dare you bite back at her!" Cui Huan's almond eyes opened wide, showing a bit of viciousness.

Mu Yi'an didn't want to hear their argument. He whispered, "It's just a pair of earrings. If the princess likes it, then I'll give it to you. Why bother with them?"

"But this is the first gift you've given me. Normally, I don't even want to wear it." Princess Yun Jiao said in a wronged manner. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she nearly fell to the ground.

"Forget it. Originally, it was not a big matter. After making such a ruckus for an afternoon, I still have something I need to do …"

"Muyi!" She cast a sidelong glance at him and said, "I know that you are not the same as you used to be. You are no longer a soldier under my father's command, but don't forget that my father has shown you kindness. You and I …"

As he spoke, he gave a bitter snort and looked at the other party ruefully.

Mu Yi An slowly sat down and said helplessly, "Then according to what Princess, what should we do?"

Princess Yun Jiao said proudly, "Since the court has already been set up, let's have a good talk today. It just so happens that the old butler of my Prince Yu's mansion has also arrived. We might as well settle the matters that have happened in the past few days together. Her identity is in a direct confrontation. Do you dare?"

Last time, she had mentioned that they could confront each other in person, but he had refused because he had some doubts.

Mu Yi'an didn't expect that Ye Zichen would take advantage of his absence to call the old steward over and trick him into setting up a court. He felt somewhat annoyed in his heart, "How can you …"

"What is it? Brother An was reluctant? I knew that you would shield her, so I will write a letter to father to let him see the talent that he has nurtured himself! "

"Enough!" Originally, he was in a good mood. Now that things had gotten out of hand, he was a bit worried. "Please, old steward, come up."

Yi Xiaoqiao was utterly convinced by this princess. Was her family lacking such a servant? He had to go against her!

If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have returned with him. She clearly said that when she returned to the city, he would have let her go. It was all his fault for not keeping his word!

Princess Yun Jiao's cold eyes swept over Yi Xiaoqiao as her lips curved into a mocking smile, "This is my old steward. He has been in my house for more than thirty years, and his eyesight is exceptional, but he would never make a mistake in seeing anyone in the house. Uncle Yang, why don't you take a look and see if she's really little Qiao today?"

Uncle Yang sized up Yi Xiaoqiao, his gaze going from top to bottom and from bottom to top a few times.

"Yes, Princess!"

Yi Xiaoqiao curled her lips. "The old housekeeper is a servant of your family. Of course I'll help you."

The old butler did not get annoyed and smiled, "Little Qiao, I can't be wrong. You came to King Yu's Mansion at the age of five, and stayed for ten years. Back then, I was the one who did the formalities to buy you, spending thirty taels of silver.

Hand seal!

That's right, hand seals were fine, but she didn't believe that if the name was the same, then the hand seals would still be hers!

"Let's see!" Yi Xiaoqiao stretched out her hand. She was straight and was not afraid of the shadow slanting. How could she be afraid of a handprint test?

The old butler smiled and grabbed Yi Xiaoqiao's hand.

Mu Yi An frowned: "Uncle Yang is originally a steward of the prince's mansion, it would be unfair for you to come to the assessment. Yu Heng, go and request for a coroner."

"Yes sir!" The soldier with the saber next to Mu Yi'an stood up and raised his head. He saw Mu Yi'an's lips move slightly. Although he didn't make a sound, he understood Mu Yi'an's intentions. He cupped his fist and said, "This subordinate will go and invite him."

Yu Heng ran to the government office like a wisp of smoke, "Where's the coroner?" coroner, give me a woman! "

"Your Lordship, you can't joke about this. There's no woman in the coroner's office."

After tossing and turning for a long time, Princess Yun Jiao had already become impatient. Only then did Yu Heng walk in with a woman. "General, they've arrived."

"Greetings, General Ling Yan." Ling Yan bowed.

"Go."

Ling Yan walked over slowly, took out a piece of paper and had Yi Xiaoqiao press his hand on it. Then, she brought it to a secluded place in the rear of the hall to examine it.

"What are you doing, Joe?" Yun Jiao was already confident. "Even if you find more people to verify, you're still my family's little Qiao. You won't change."

Yi Xiaoqiao did not say a word. She did not believe it. She had never signed a signature on such a thing before. How could there be a handprint on it?

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Ling Yan came out from the back, cupping her hands and said: "General, this little girl has finished her verification."
