Priceless Baby’s Super Daddy-Chapter 1600 - An Unforgivable Crime

Chapter 1600: An Unforgivable Crime

“You said that I gave you the keys, right? When was that?” Yao Zheng continued to ask as Jing Xi remained quiet.

“An hour ago, it was around 2,” Jing Xi answered after thinking carefully.

“I wasn’t even at the rear courtroom at that time.” Yao Zheng smirked. “I was instructing the other servants on their jobs.”

Yao Zheng even called over the servants that were supposed to be with her, and they proved that Yao Zheng was at the main palace around 2 in the afternoon.

“See? She’s trying to frame me,” Yao Zheng turned and told Huo Yunshen.

“What do you have to say for yourself now?” Huo Yunshen asked Jing Xi.

It was clear that Huo Yunshen believed Yao Zheng’s words more than the arguments of a nanny that had just arrived a few days ago.

“I know I’m in the wrong for touching the things in the room, but Vice-Manager Yao was really the one who gave me the keys. She wanted me to clean the room…” Jing Xi tried to explain.

“Enough! You’re fired! Don’t show your face here ever again!”

Huo Yunshen pointed at the main door as he stared at Jing Xi, not wanting to hear any more excuses. Not killing her was the best kindness he could offer.

Jing Xi remained silent. She knew that no matter how hard she tried, it would be useless. It did not matter who gave her the keys, what mattered was that she had entered the room that she’d been forbidden to enter.

She had committed an unforgivable crime.

Jing Xi let go of the cleaning cart and turned to fetch her clothes and bag.

Without turning her head around, Jing Xi left the castle.

But Huo Yunshen’s heart was in pain when he looked at the back of the woman that was leaving. He kept telling himself it was the right thing to let her go.

It was all so that she wouldn’t be a bother to him anymore.

He told himself that he had to be merciless.

Yao Zheng was laughing secretly, as had she finally gotten Jin Xiaoxi fired.

The only person left that was in her way was Lan Yi.

And she knew that the two accusations that she had planted on Lan Yi would be enough to get her fired too.

…

Lan Yi and Little Grape ran into Jing Xi as she was leaving.

“Auntie Xiaoxi!” Little Grape greeted and hugged her legs.

“Hey…”

Jing Xi rubbed the little prince’s hair as she felt reluctant to leave the little boy behind.

“Are you going back now?” Lan Yi asked as she noticed Jing Xi had her bag with her.

“Yes. Thank you for everything that you’ve done for me. I don’t think I’ll be coming back again…,” Jing Xi said and suddenly thought of the advance payment she’d received. “I’ll pay you back the advance payment that I got from you.”

“Why are you leaving?’ Little Grape asked.

“Yes, why? Aren’t you doing a great job here?” Lan Yi also asked.

“It’s not that I want to leave, but the king… he…”

Jing Xi then told Lan Yi everything that had happened.

And Lan Yi instantly realized it was Yao Zheng’s doing.
