Chapter 102 Public Opinion Forced Killing
"go away!"
Xie Yunyao didn't know where she got the strength from, she pushed Feng Jia hard and ran out frantically.
"Aren't you going to chase it?" Song Huai had stood by his side without him noticing when, and said as he watched the pink figure running farther and farther away.
"No need, let's go back home and wait for the show!"
Feng Jia raised the corners of his mouth slightly, put on a veil hat, and the master and servant walked away one after the other.
Xie Yunyao's eyes were full of tears. The further she ran, the more she cried. She stopped at another street corner, where several women were sitting together picking vegetables.
"Have you heard about the fifth young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Oh my! I used to work as a handyman in the Xie Mansion and met that young lady. She is truly a beauty, well-educated and well-mannered! But I didn't expect that she has such a cruel heart! Tsk tsk tsk!"
"I heard that Mrs. Meng is not giving up and wants to bring her back from Dingyuan!"
"Horror! What's the point of bringing her back? Are you going to allow someone to suffer a disaster like that? That's a sin! Isn't that a disaster for people?"
"That's right! If I knew I was destined to harm others, I would have killed myself by banging my head against a wall!"
"Bah! It's bad luck for me to mention her!"
……
An indescribable sense of shame and fear climbed up from the soles of her feet. Xie Yunyao had tears hanging on her face but she didn't bother to wipe them away. She looked around in horror and felt that everyone who passed by began to look at her with a very strange look and pointed at her.
He hurriedly covered his face with a handkerchief.
The group of women noticed the woman standing on the street corner and asked with a puzzled look on their faces: "Girl... who are you looking for?"
"It's not me! It's not me! It's not me! You've got the wrong person!" Xie Yunyao suddenly screamed in the surprised gaze of everyone, her cry was shrill and piercing.
"Are you crazy?" Another woman shuddered and walked away with her basket of vegetables. Everyone looked at each other, and were also shocked. They hurried away with their baskets.
Xie Yunyao panted heavily and took two steps forward. This time, there were a few young scholars who were holding textbooks and should have just come out of school.
"Have you heard that the fifth daughter of the Xie family is a disaster! I heard that the drought in Yangcheng was caused by her! How many refugees starved to death because of this? Women are really the most vicious!"
"How could I not know? This matter has spread all over the capital! I heard that Miss Xie Wu was sent to Dingyuan. Alas! The people of Dingyuan are in trouble now!"
"However, I did meet Miss Xie Wu during the Lantern Festival last year. She was really as beautiful as a fairy! To be honest, I had high aspirations at the time. I wanted to pass the imperial examination and then ask for her hand in marriage!"
"Hahahaha! Do you still dare now!"
“I dare not!” The man waved his hands repeatedly. “If I really marry this Fifth Miss Xie, don’t say that I am cursed by her! All the spit in the capital will drown me! Hahahaha!”
……
The teasing voices of the young men became increasingly distant, Xie Yunyao's eyes became increasingly empty, and she felt cold all over.
She was the daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion! A famous talented woman in the capital! It wouldn't be too much for her to marry into the Eastern Palace! Since when did such lowly people start to talk about her at will?
Xie Yunyao smiled foolishly, tears rolling down her cheeks. She had always been proud, but only now did she realize that her pride and self-esteem had long been rolled to the ground in the rumors in this capital, being stepped on and crushed effortlessly, not even into mud!
What was left of her?
Xie Yunyao felt as if her soul had been taken away by someone, leaving only this confused body.
She looked up, the sun was so bright that it made her dizzy. The sun in Beijing was so bright today. Every year at this time of year, she would go outing with a few friends, enjoy the scenery, write poems and drink tea. She was so happy. It was a pity that those days no longer belonged to her.
Xie Yunyao laughed and cried, then dragged her tired body slowly into a pharmacy, and then hurried back home holding a white porcelain bottle.
At the same time, Feng Jia received a task reminder.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the ladder-type mission: 1. Escape from the death dilemma, 2. Find the key evidence and kill the person who issued the assassination order. ]

[Obtained 1 card draw, do you want to draw now? ]
Feng Jia nodded [Yes].
Two cards appeared in front of him, and Feng Jia chose the one on the left.
The two cards disappeared at the same time, and were replaced by a small arrow added to the item bar.

Can you infinitely amplify other people's emotions?
It is a good prop.
Feng Jia smiled, put away the system panel, and continued to sip tea. Just like she and Song Huai said, she didn't have to do anything today, just wait.
……
In the evening, Nanny Zhen came. There was a big bump on her head. She put the food box in her hand on the table and said, "Fifth Miss! When I went out this morning, I was attacked by a group of thieves! They robbed me of my money and jewelry. I was knocked unconscious by them and only woke up half an hour ago! As soon as I woke up, I rushed over!"
No one answered, only the sound of wind whistling in the house could be heard.
The sun had completely set and the room was plunged into darkness. Nanny Zhen saw a vague shadow that seemed to be sitting beside the bed and subconsciously thought it was the Fifth Miss.
"Girl? Are you angry with this old slave?"
Still no answer.
Nanny Zhen sighed and said, "Young lady, please wait patiently! The eldest lady said that she has written a letter to the Earl's Mansion to ask for your help. Once the storm has passed, she will immediately welcome you back! Fifth Miss?"
Still no one answered, and the room was eerily quiet.
Nanny Zhen was surprised, and suddenly she heard a dull sound, and a round porcelain bottle fell from the side of the bed and rolled to her feet.
Nanny Zhen bent down and picked up the porcelain bottle. It was too dark and she couldn't see the words on it clearly, so she turned around and lit the candle with a tinder and walked towards Xie Yunyao's bedside.
The flames swayed in the wind, illuminating the small area ahead. Xie Yunyao sat on the bed, with delicate makeup on her face, her big almond eyes open hollowly, her lips purple, and black blood oozing from the corners of her mouth.
There were dense corpse spots on her grayish-blue skin, and she had been dead for a long time.
"what!!!"
Nanny Zhen was so frightened that she ran out crawling.
