She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 192: Xiang Qianqian Goes All Out

Xiang Qianqian clearly felt that the Sixth Prince was looking at her with ill intentions.

The feeling was like being targeted by a venomous snake in the abyss, at any moment facing lethal danger.

She quickly knelt down to beg for mercy: "Sixth Prince, Lady Lu, I really didn’t see anything. I, I was knocked out by my elder sister Xiang Ying, and when I woke up, I found myself here, the cabinet door was closed, I didn’t see anything!"

Lu Pancu glared at her: "It’s better to wrongly kill than to let go. If I let you go and you recklessly say something, what about my reputation!"

Saying this, she looked at the Sixth Prince: "Aren’t you going to take action? If my father comes with people, and she says everything, the Sixth Prince won’t be able to get through this either!"

The worst fear in this world is people speaking behind your back.

Almost as soon as Lu Pancu’s words fell, Governor Lu’s alarmed voice came from outside the door.

"Chuchu, my Chuchu! Are you in here?"

Accompanied by many people’s noisy footsteps, everyone inside the room heard them shouting outside.

"The fire has started, the backyard is on fire, hurry and put out the fire!"

"Master, only this room hasn’t been searched, Miss might be inside!"

Lu Pancu, hearing this voice, was greatly alarmed; it was her maid’s voice.

Governor Lu had already reached the door and found it locked, he instructed the people nearby: "Break down the door for me!"

Lu Pancu turned pale, and the Sixth Prince also appeared extremely grim.

"What to do... my father has brought many people, if things from tonight spread, both you and I..."

Lu Pancu seemed to envision a scene of being pointed out by thousands, her reputation completely ruined, and suddenly she covered her face and started crying.

The Sixth Prince also knew that this matter couldn’t end well.

Yan Jing had already betrayed him, even if he explained that he and Lu Pancu did nothing and were trapped in the room.

But the matter of the traditional medicine with Lu Pancu couldn’t escape Governor Lu’s eyes.

Now they were caught between a rock and a hard place.

Xiang Qianqian’s eyes flickered, seizing the opportunity.

She hurriedly said: "I, I can replace Lady Lu, as long as I admit that the person with the Sixth Prince tonight was me, it should be able to preserve Lady Lu’s innocence, and also maintain the Sixth Prince’s position, right?"

Lu Pancu stopped crying and looked up at her: "Do you really think so?"

The Sixth Prince suspiciously stared at her: "Aren’t you afraid of ruining your own reputation?"

Xiang Qianqian gave a bitter smile, showing understanding and comforting: "I am a banished female prisoner, brought to the enemy state. What else should I fear about people’s gossip?"

People summoned by Governor Lu were already starting to ram the door.

Xiang Qianqian urged the Sixth Prince: "Your Highness! Make a decision quickly, otherwise it’ll be too late!"

Lu Pancu urgently tugged on the Sixth Prince’s sleeve.

"Hurry and agree! My innocence must be preserved, just pretend nothing happened tonight."

The Sixth Prince squinted at Xiang Qianqian: "Are you sure you can also keep a tight lip?" freeweɓnovel.cøm

Xiang Qianqian nodded hurriedly, expressing her loyalty.

"After tonight, publicly, Qianqian will belong to His Highness. How could Qianqian go out and talk nonsense, affecting His Highness?"

The Sixth Prince slowly nodded: "Alright, but if you turn against your word and collude with Xiang Ying to trap me, I assure you, you will know what being torn apart by five horses feels like."

He said this without a fierce expression, yet it inexplicably made one feel a chill down their spine.

Xiang Qianqian quickly bowed her head: "Your Highness, rest assured."

This was exactly what she had hoped for!

Governor Lu, regardless of the fires starting everywhere in the mansion, focused solely on finding where his daughter was.

During tonight’s banquet, everyone in the army complained of stomach pain, and someone had set fire in the back house, he instinctively sensed problems.

More importantly, Jie Chen and the Sixth Prince were nowhere to be found.

Governor Lu was worried that something might happen, so he came to find his daughter first.

Regrettably, Pan Chu was nowhere to be found, especially her personal maid who was knocked unconscious and thrown into the woodshed.

According to the maid herself, after Pan Chu went to look for Xiang Ying, she never returned.

Thus, Governor Lu brought people to this place.

Just as his men kicked the door fully open, there came a woman’s scream from the bed.

Governor Lu was stunned as if struck by lightning, he quickly approached and flung the quilt away.

There was the uncovered body of a woman; Xiang Qianqian hurriedly screamed and hid in the arms of the Sixth Prince.

Upon realizing it was Xiang Qianqian and not his beloved daughter, Governor Lu showed a bewildered expression.

"How... how could it be you..." He turned his eyes, only to catch the Sixth Prince staring coldly at him.

"Lu Hong, what a clever trick, drugging me. Fortunately, Miss Qianqian is kind-hearted, sacrificing her innocence to save me; otherwise, I would have perished due to your poison."

The Sixth Prince was the first to speak, pinning the blame and turning the tables on Governor Lu.

He stared at Governor Lu: "Is this how you treat your guests! Setting a trap and scheming against me?"

In his embrace, Xiang Qianqian quietly sobbed: "Your Highness, please seek justice for Qianqian."

Governor Lu was startled and immediately knelt down to explain.

"Your Highness, I beg your discernment, how could I dare to frame you in my own residence? There must be some mistake!"

It is indeed very strange.

This is Xiang Ying’s room, yet the Sixth Prince is tangled up with Xiang Ying’s sister here?

Governor Lu always felt something was amiss, but before he could think further, the Sixth Prince had already gotten up and started dressing, leaving a statement.

"I will give you one night to investigate this matter, and if you cannot find the reason, then prepare for my pursuit!"

After saying this, he left with Xiang Qianqian.

Governor Lu panicked, slapping his forehead: "How could this happen!"

The steward came up and asked, "Master, shall we now summon the servants to inquire?"

Governor Lu glared: "Summon what? Finding the young mistress is the priority! If she’s not here, search the front yard, quickly!"

He left with a large group of servants, and on his way out, he noticed a slit in a cabinet door framing a piece of goose-yellow dress.

It was just like the color his daughter usually loved to wear.

Governor Lu furrowed his brows deeply, pondering as he departed.

Not long after they left, the cabinet door opened, and Pan Chu tiptoed out, running towards her own yard.

Shortly after, she pretended to have been drugged and unconscious, instructing her maid to inform Governor Lu, and father and daughter began sobbing together.

Governor Lu choked up: "I thought you had been abducted by villains!"

Pan Chu clenched her teeth: "Father, I was drugged and locked in the cellar, I just managed to escape. I suspect there’s an inside job, colluding with the criminals; you must thoroughly investigate!"

Otherwise, how could she have ingested suspiciously medicated broth?

Governor Lu instinctively said: "Could it have been Xiang Ying? You trust her too much, allowing her too much freedom in the back house, maybe she took this chance to act!"

"Impossible!" Pan Chu flatly denied, "She has the opportunity to meet me every day, if it was really her, she wouldn’t need to go through such trouble."

The most crucial point is, Xiang Ying doesn’t have the capability to lure the Sixth Prince over.

Pan Chu was very clear about this.

Seeing his daughter’s determined denial, doubt swept across Governor Lu’s eyes once more.

He always felt she was hiding something from him.

In one night, the Governor’s Mansion turned chaotic.

Half of the buildings burned down, even the thatched huts were set alight; it was said that Cao Ming and a group of team leaders rushed out with their backsides on fire.

All the soldiers at the banquet suffered from diarrhea, which only ceased towards dawn after taking medicine.

With all these incidents piled up, Governor Lu could only thoroughly investigate the Sixth Prince’s poisoning incident.

Unexpectedly, when Governor Lu led a search throughout the residence, they found a secret letter and an unused packet of aphrodisiac in Cao Ming’s room.
