Chapter 2661: Hehe, I’m Not in a Hurry

"Princess Consort, have mercy! I don’t want to die, please give me another chance!"

As soon as the two guards released him, the man collapsed on the ground, crying as he crawled on his hands and knees to Xuexue, weeping bitterly.

If the guards hadn’t stopped him, he probably would have hugged Xuexue’s leg and cried.

Sitting on Xuexue’s shoulder, Xiao Jiu looked down disdainfully, mocking in a sharp voice: "A grown man crying like this, have you no shame? Where’s your dignity?"

At this moment, the man was terribly frightened by Xuexue’s words, "Take him out and behead him," he was just a commoner and his life was nearly forfeit, so he had no time for pride.

How much is dignity worth per pound? No need for it.

Xuexue glared at it: "Shut up, don’t cause trouble."

Xiao Jiu immediately lowered its bird head.

Alright, its master had been bombed into a madwoman and was now furious, better not provoke her, or the next second, it might lose its head.

Xuexue coldly said to the man: "If you don’t want to die, then go identify the person properly. If you find the right one, you can live, but if not...!"

She didn’t finish the sentence, but her face was full of cold sneers, even a fool could tell what it meant.

"Yes, yes, I’ll go identify again right away." The man crawled up from the ground, trembling with fear, fell down several times before managing to stand again, and staggered toward the group of women, starting the identification once more.

The group of women had previously been indifferent.

Now, their mood had changed. Everyone wondered, what did the Princess Consort mean? Forcing this man to identify the suspect who brought explosives into the War Prince’s Mansion, and if he couldn’t, he would be beheaded.

If, in desperation, this man randomly singled someone out to save himself, wouldn’t they be in trouble?

Thinking about this, none of them could stay calm, all eyes were on the man tensely, fearing he might randomly point at one of them making her the unlucky one.

Terrified by Xuexue, the man dared not be careless, seriously examining each person in the crowd.

Just as the man was nearing the end of his search in the hall, a shade of pink quietly slipped out the front door.

"Boom!"

The woman in the pink clothes, so focused on checking if anyone noticed her slip away from behind, didn’t see where she was going and collided with something. In a panic, she turned her head to look...

"Hehehe...! Miss Zi Xia, what are you doing here?"

"Miss Sun, where do you think you’re going?" Zi Xia crossed her arms, looking at her with a half-smile.

Just as the eldest lady said, this Miss Sun was trying to sneak away.

Seeing her guilty demeanor, could it be that the explosion had something to do with her?

"Hehehe...! I’ve been here a while, just wanted to visit the privy."

"Perfect timing, I am in a bit of a rush too, shall we go together?"

"No, no, suddenly I’m not in a hurry anymore, hehehe...!"

Miss Sun, initially hunched over, tiptoeing sneakily intending to slip away, was stopped by Zi Xia; she straightened up with a forced smile.

Zi Xia asked with a smile: "Miss Sun, really not in a rush?"

Miss Sun inwardly ground her teeth with hatred but outwardly smiled: "Not in a rush."

"If you’re not, hurry back to the hall and wait, didn’t you see the eldest lady calling out for the suspect identification?" Zi Xia said sharply, her smile vanishing.

"This... this suspect has nothing to do with me, how could I harm the Princess Consort! The Princess Consort is so kind! Ever since she came to the Prince’s Mansion, we’ve been living the high life." Miss Sun muttered as she unwillingly turned around, dragging her feet back into the crowd.
