305 We’re a Match Made in Heaven
Princess Tao Ran was speechless.
She was so focused on convicting Yu Niaoniao that she made many mistakes in her testimony.
At this moment, she was filled with regret. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have said so much just now. Now that someone had found a loophole in her words, it would be difficult for her to smooth things over.
Lo Pingsha continued, “I know you’re a princess and have a noble status, but don’t forget that this is the Justice Department. Even royal relatives have to follow the rules here.”
Princess Tao Ran had learned her lesson this time.
She stopped talking and said, “I don’t want to talk to you. Get Duke Lang here. Unless he’s here, don’t expect me to tell the truth.”
In the face of her threat, Lo Pingsha was neither angry nor anxious. He still spoke calmly.
“Since Your Highness is unwilling to cooperate with the investigation, please go back. As for your previous testimony, it will be treated as perjury and void.”
Princess Tao Ran immediately panicked. “Why should it be invalidated? I’m telling the truth!”
Lo Pingsha looked at her quietly.
Princess Tao Ran was very unhappy.
“Even if part of what I said just now is fake, part of it is true. The Princess Consort of Lang County really killed someone! I can swear!”
Lo Pingsha said calmly, “Many people know that you admire Duke Lang. Out of jealousy, you hate the Princess Consort of Lang County.”
Princess Tao Ran frowned. “What do you mean by that? Do you suspect that I framed her?”
“It’s not impossible.”
Princess Tao Ran was furious. “What right do you have to say that? Do you have evidence?!”
Lo Pingsha asked, “Then what right do you have to say that the Princess Consort of Lang County deliberately killed someone? Do you have evidence?”
Princess Tao Ran was exasperated, but she couldn’t find any words to refute him.
She pointed at Lo Pingsha and scolded, “How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that!”
Lo Pingsha said, “I’ve just said that even if you’re a relative of the royal family, you have to follow the rules when you reach the Justice Department. The rules here are evidence.”
Princess Tao Ran couldn’t out-talk him and started to make a scene.
“I don’t care! I want to see Duke Lang! If you don’t let me see him, I won’t leave!”
Lo Pingsha gave the Eagle Guards a look.
The Eagle Guards stepped forward and grabbed Princess Tao Ran’s arms, forcefully lifting her up.
She was pushed out.
“Don’t touch me! I’m not leaving! I want to see Cousin Mo Zhu!”
However, no matter how much she shouted, no one paid attention to her.
Yu Niaoniao made the leftovers from the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup yesterday into braised food.
She carried the food box and walked towards Mirror House, planning to try the food with Xiao Juan.
Coincidentally, she bumped into Princess Tao Ran on the way.
When Princess Tao Ran saw Yu Niaoniao, her eyes turned red with anger.
“B*tch! It’s all your fault! You snatched Cousin Mo Zhu away! I’m going to kill you!”
Two Eagle Guards grabbed her tightly, preventing her from hurting the Princess Consort of Lang County.
Yu Niaoniao looked puzzled. “What does Duke Lang not liking you have to do with me?”
Princess Tao Ran shouted, “It’s because of you that he doesn’t want me! It’s all because of you!”
Yu Niaoniao reminded her, “Don’t forget that you knew Duke Lang before me. If Duke Lang was interested in you, he would have proposed to you long ago. How could I have anything to do with it?”
How could Princess Tao Ran not know this?
She knew that Xiao Juan did not like her, but at least he was not married at that time. Since there was no one else in his heart, she still had hopes of getting him.
But it was different now.
Xiao Juan already had someone in his heart, and she could no longer enter his heart.
Her last hope was gone.
Princess Tao Ran almost broke down.
“Even if he doesn’t like me, he shouldn’t like you!”
Yu Niaoniao said, “It’s his freedom who he likes. You have no right to interfere.”
Princess Tao Ran said, “He’s mine! The only person qualified to stand by his side is me!”
Yu Niaoniao felt that there was something wrong with her brain.
“He’s a person, not an object. He has his own thoughts. He shouldn’t belong to anyone. If you really like him, you should respect his choice.”
Princess Tao Ran’s eyes were filled with hatred.
“You don’t understand him at all! You’re not worthy of him!”
Yu Niaoniao felt like she was talking to a duck.
The two of them were not on the same page and could not communicate at all.
At this moment, Xiao Juan came over.
“Niaoniao, why are you here?”
Yu Niaoniao lifted the food box. “I’m here to bring you something to eat.”
Xiao Juan said, “Then let’s go.”
Princess Tao Ran could not help but shout when she saw that he did not even look at her.
“Cousin Mo Zhu, do you really not want me anymore?”
Her voice trembled uncontrollably, and her tone was pleading.
Xiao Juan was unmoved. “I’ve already made it very clear to you. You’re my cousin. You can only be my cousin forever.”
Princess Tao Ran cried.
“How could you do this to me? Have you forgotten? When you were young, you were ostracized in the palace. I was the only one willing to be by your side!”
“We grew up together. You’re the only one in my world, and I’m the only one in yours. We are a match made in heaven!”
Xiao Juan responded with indifference.
Princess Tao Ran sobbed and continued.
“When you were young, they didn’t even want to play with you. They even ganged up to bully you. I was the only one by your side.”
“I understand your pride. I know you don’t want to be associated with those people.”
“I’m the one who understands you the most in this world!”
When she said the last sentence, she was almost hoarse with agitation.
Xiao Juan was still silent.
Seeing that he did not respond to her, Princess Tao Ran suddenly thought of something and turned around. She glared at Yu Niaoniao viciously and cursed.
“It’s all because of you! You made Cousin Mo Zhu become more and more unlike himself. You destroyed him!”
Yu Niaoniao felt more and more that this person was seriously ill.
“Do you have to make him lonely to be happy?”
Princess Tao Ran rebuked angrily.
“Shut up, you don’t know anything! You haven’t seen the original Cousin Mo Zhu. You don’t know what the real him looks like. Like me, he was born alone!”
“Our world is different from others. We don’t need the understanding of other people. No one can step into our world! Get out of our world now!”
Yu Niaoniao felt that she was really unreasonable.
Xiao Juan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
“You’re mistaken.”
Princess Tao Ran looked at him. “I’m right. It can’t be wrong.”
Xiao Juan said slowly.
“Although I’ve lived in loneliness for a long time, I don’t want to continue like this. I’m not like you.”
“I like my life now. I don’t want to go back to the past.”
Princess Tao Ran looked at him in a daze, as if she was looking at a complete stranger.
Xiao Juan said, “Everything in the past was a nightmare to me. It only brought me pain. The Cousin Mo Zhu you saw in the past was not the real me.”
