Chapter 1201 County Magistrate
The Princess Consort Pu saw this and couldn’t help but cover her face and cry out in pain, sobbing as she said, "My poor daughter, I haven’t seen you for a month, how did you become so haggard? What inhumane torture have you gone through?"
Prince Pu saw this and also flared up, grabbing Situ Yongjie’s collar tightly, gritting his teeth and accusing: "How did you torture my daughter to this state? What exactly did you do to her?"
Situ Yongjie was held tightly by Prince Pu, feeling a bit breathless.
Situtu Xueer saw this and immediately stepped forward to try to rescue her father.
Prince Pu had already suspected her of killing Auntie Tang, and an evil thought suddenly arose in his heart. Taking advantage of Situ Yongjie’s struggle, he gathered all his strength in his hand and, pretending it was unintentional, struck fiercely at Xuexue’s head.
This move by Prince Pu was indeed vicious. If it hit, Situtu Xueer would undoubtedly die.
Feeling a strong wind coming from her head, Xuexue became alert and leaned back to avoid Prince Pu’s sneak attack.
Since Prince Pu was intent on killing Situtu Xueer, he naturally let go of Situ Yongjie.
Situ Yongjie, now free, became furiously angry towards Prince Pu: "Father-in-law, if it weren’t for the fact that you’ve lost a daughter, I would go to The Emperor to accuse you of attempted murder for your behavior today."
In a moment of urgent crisis, Xuexue displayed her skill in front of everyone, secretly surprising Prince Pu. This dead girl, who knew she was a martial world expert, made him even more convinced that Xuexue was the culprit who had killed his daughter.
Prince Pu acted shamelessly: "Fine, go ahead and accuse! I also want The Emperor to judge. My daughter was in her prime, how could she just die without any reason in your General’s Mansion? If I don’t get an explanation, none of you will have peace."
Regarding Prince Pu’s earlier attempt to harm her, Xuexue’s eyes flickered for a moment, thinking, this old scoundrel has such a sinister heart. If she had been struck earlier, her death would have been in vain.
Indeed, even if Xuexue had been unfortunately killed, people would just say that Prince Pu, having lost his beloved daughter, accidentally killed her in his grief.
