Just as Rong Jiayi was about to see Jianan, a woman's voice pulled him back to reality.
"Thank you for your assistance, Lord Rong," Song Feiwan said, nodding at him with gratitude.
Rong Jiayi recalled how she had made him feel embarrassed at the Rong residence, and his emotions became somewhat complicated. This woman was indeed quite adept at reading the situation.
Although Xiao Yu was dead, Song Feiwan's rank was higher than his, so he cupped his hands in greeting. "I pay my respects to the Consort of the Crown Prince."
"There's no need for such formalities, Lord Song. You are the cousin of His Highness the Crown Prince, and naturally, you are also my cousin," Song Feiwan replied with a warm smile. An outsider would surely think they had a good relationship.
Even Jianan, who was inside the carriage, let out a scoff. After their confrontation in the alley, they had parted ways on bad terms, yet now they could call each other cousins so amicably?
She had been waiting for her letter without any sign of impatience, focusing instead on running her medical clinic. Could it be that she had a new goal in mind, such as Rong Jiayi? The thought made Jianan's lips curl into a more sinister smile.
Zhuo Da and Zhuo Er, who were patrolling near the carriage, felt a sudden drop in temperature and shivered.
Little did Song Feiwan know how greatly Jianan misunderstood her; she was merely putting on an act. With Rong Jiayi's status and influence backing her up, things would be much easier for her. As for their past grievances, as long as she wasn’t awkward about it, the embarrassment would fall on others.
With this in mind, Song Feiwan's smile turned into an expression of distress as she asked, "Lord Rong, do you know what this heir of the Dingguo family has done?"
Rong Jiayi looked at her calmly. "I would like to hear the details."
Song Feiwan then recounted the events, emphasizing the testimony of the poisoned pregnant woman.
Song Anning chimed in angrily from the side: "Brother, she’s right! Xu Xianzhi is too much!"
Just moments ago assertive, Song Feiwan now spoke with a tone of grievance: "As a physician running a clinic, it's normal for people to question my medical skills; I'm willing to prove myself. But Xu Xianzhi brought people here with the clear intention of ruining my reputation and endangering my life!"
With tears welling in her eyes and her beauty accentuated by her distress, Song Feiwan looked particularly pitiful.
Opening a medical clinic is not only about treating illnesses and saving lives; it has also become a place for me to channel my grief since Prince Chen left me. I want to heal more people and accumulate virtue in honor of Prince Chen!
But Xu Xianzhi takes advantage of my widowhood, shamelessly humiliating me and disregarding the dignity of Prince Chen! If everyone were like him, how could I possibly stand in the capital? How could I protect the noble spirit and integrity of Prince Chen?
Song Feiwan's dark, bright eyes locked onto Rong Jiayi's gaze, causing his heart to tremble suddenly.
"Master Song, you are the current Minister of Justice, overseeing the courts. I hope you can restore justice for me and for His Highness!"
"I thank you in advance, Master!"
Xu Xianzhi was gagged and pressed to the ground, his eyes filled with rage. He shook his head repeatedly, trying to deny it, but the constable's grip was like iron pincers, rendering him unable to utter a single word.
This was clearly their personal grudge; how could that wretched Song Feiwan drag Prince Chen into this? The involvement of the Ministry of Justice, the rumors among the common folk, and the anger from within the palace—Song Feiwan truly wanted him dead!
As he had expected, before Rong Jiayi could say anything, the surrounding crowd had already erupted in fury.
"This is too much! Is it human to bully a woman who has lost her husband?"
"The noble princess has shown nothing but sincerity, yet she receives deceit and humiliation in return!"
"Can the heir of Dingguo act with impunity? He must be severely punished! Otherwise, I will go beat the drums of injustice!"
Bullying a widow—Xu Xianzhi is truly inhumane!
I can hardly bear to think about how much pain Prince Chen must feel watching this from above! The loyalty of the princess is so touching. Alas! If only Prince Chen were still alive...
