"What are you talking about?" Chu Changxi's face immediately changed, "Not only did you go against the rules and ruin our Prime Minister's reputation, you actually framed us?"
Chu Changle's expression also changed, it was just that she, the wood person, was already used to it, so she did not retort at all.
"Oh, Second Elder Sister only said that casually, Third Sister has such a huge reaction, and did not see Second Elder Sister being framed like that, and became flustered and pale. It looks like why do I feel like this handkerchief is not from Second Elder Sister, but from you?"
Chu Changxi's face turned ugly, she only looked at Old Mistress, but did not dare say anything.
"Fuer, don't speak nonsense!" Only then did Chu Siyuan slowly open his mouth and only looked at Chu Qinghuan, "If someone framed you, I will naturally return your innocence. However, if I find out that you're not following the rules, then don't blame me for not remembering our relationship at that time!"
Father and daughter?
Chu Qinghuan let out a cold laugh. Chu Siyuan was actually boasting shamelessly about her feelings for his daughter. Had there been any fatherhood between them?
Seeing Chu Qinghuan's undisguised smile, Chu Siyuan's face changed. She wanted to say something, but she heard her wife say: "Old Mistress, Prime Minister, Madam, pink butterfly has arrived."
When he saw the pink butterfly, First Madame's expression changed. The person in front of him seemed to have come from hell, his body had no color at all, his face was pale white.
Chu Siyuan had some impressions of the pink butterfly, but he never thought that she would change so much in a few months. It was as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
"This servant, Pang Die greets Old Mistress, Prime Minister, Madam, Second Miss." As he spoke, he kowtowed.
This was related to the harem, and once again, it was Cai Die who had testified to this. First Madame felt more confident, and went forward to ask, "Cai Die, do you know why I called you here?"
She shook her head. "I don't know." However, her gaze was fixated on Chu Qinghuan, as if she had countless unspeakable things to say, yet she did not say anything.
"Why are you acting like this in the short span of a few months? Could it be that someone is being harsh on you?" Chu Changxi said in surprise: "Our Prime Minister's Palace has never been strict with maidservants."
The other side of these words was clearly accusing Chu Qinghuan of her initial grudges and purposely harsh on her.
However, Cai Die shook her head, "To return to the Third Miss, I have been recuperating from my illness and have not fully recovered." As she said this, she paused several times. It was obvious that she was seriously ill.
Chu Changxi did not expect that the current Pink Butterfly would actually cover up for Chu Qinghuan, and immediately turned her head away.
If you are sick, go back and take good care of yourself. Nanny Zhao will remember to look for a doctor to take a look at her, but there is something I need to ask you, you need to report word for word, otherwise, if I find out that you have lied, I will not forgive you! The First Madame used a jujube and a palm, obviously to intimidate the pink butterfly.
However, Cai Die didn't seem to notice, "I got it."
"Second Miss said that she lost a handkerchief and no one knew where she went, and there are people outside the residence saying that Second Miss and him have a secret marriage, they even entrusted you with this favor. Which one is the real one? "
For a moment, everyone was looking at Cai Die, but she lightly furrowed her brows, a look of confusion flashing across her pale face, "This servant is guilty, please forgive me." As he said that, he kowtowed to Chu Qinghuan again.
"I told you it was you …" Chu Changxi was overjoyed. Just as she was about to tell Chu Siyuan that Chu Qinghuan did not follow the rules and ruin the reputation of the General's Office, she heard his say, "Last time, the doctor said that I was suffering from a lack of yang fire and needed Master's personal belongings to make up for it. It's just that this servant made a huge mistake last time, how could I dare take your personal belongings?
"Oh, so that's the case. Oh, Pink Butterfly, oh Pink Butterfly, you really are apologizing to Second Elder Sister. What do you think, Third Sister?" Chu Jinfu looked complacent, she glanced at Chu Changxi, and obviously understood what Chu Changxi wanted to say just now.
"Pink Butterfly, you have to think carefully about what you're talking about!" Chu Wenjin enunciated each word, but he was not afraid at all. He raised his head to look at Chu Wenjin and said, "Second Young Master, this servant naturally knows what I am talking about.
Zhao Zi, who was at the side, saw the handkerchief in her hands and quickly said: "This is the handkerchief that Second Miss lost. When Second Miss was embroidering the magpie, it was always poorly embroidered here and I was the one who embroidered it for Second Miss.
Nanny Lin looked at it and nodded, "It is indeed Zhao Zi's work, that is correct."
Chu Wenjin never thought that the handkerchief that Cai Die had stolen for him would actually return to his hands. He wished that he could tear the person in front of him into a thousand pieces, but in front of so many people, he could do nothing!
"Since that's the case, second sister can be considered as innocent. Second Brother, you are a general rushing about on the battlefield, why are you acting so rashly? It's good that second sister is your own sister, if you're an outsider, I will definitely come to find you for an explanation."
However, Chu Jinxiu's words wanted to cover up Chu Wenjin's rudeness. When Chu Qinghuan heard it, the corners of her eyes twitched. Did she really think that she was someone easy to bully?
"Second Brother is just concerned about him. Big Sis, don't talk about him anymore."
Chu Wenjin did not expect Chu Qinghuan to actually speak up for his, and his expression changed after hearing that. He Chujinxiu looked at each other with surprise in his eyes, and then continued: "Father, Qing Huan knows herself, but the name of my daughter, the daughter of the Prime Minister, is not something that can be slandered like this. Heir of Marquis of Chengen is the younger brother of the Empress, he must lead the way even more! Daughter asks father to thoroughly investigate this matter and to return the good name of my House of Prime Minister! "
All of a sudden, Chu Qinghuan kneeled onto the ground. Unexpectedly, Chu Siyuan looked at the person kneeling in front of him, who was clearly her own daughter, and felt that this was a trap, that once she agreed to it, she would never be able to turn back.
However, if he didn't agree …
"Second sister is right, how can my Prime Minister's name be disgraced by others? Nanny Lin, please tell me your name when you see my name scroll."
Hearing the old lady's words, Chu Siyuan's worries disappeared, and she hurriedly said: "Old Mistress, your son already has a plan for this. In a while, I will bring the embroidered handkerchief from Heir of Marquis of Chengen's hands, and then we will see."
Indeed! She was curious as to why Chu Siyuan, a cautious person, would be able to convict her so easily with just a few words.
With all the evidence and evidence, even if he had a hundred mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain it. But... Could it be that this move of Chu Siyuan's was to throw himself into an eternal abyss?
But the reason? No matter what, he still had the status of a princess, and having this identity would benefit the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, so how did he become a thorn in his side?
Chu Qinghuan was still puzzled, but the hall was frighteningly quiet. Concubine Liu, Concubine Chen and Bai Ling also came over quietly with a little surprise and confusion on their faces.
Concubine Chen wanted to know what was going on, but was pushed aside by Chu Changxi, "Little sister also wants to believe Second Elder Sister's words, but even though Zhao Zi would register some of the golden hairpins that Second Elder Sister normally uses, these handkerchief are probably too fragmented, and maybe Second Elder Sister spends her time bored. It's possible to neglect them for a moment, even a servant girl wouldn't know."
As before, Zhao Zi still doubted Chu Qinghuan's words. However, Zhao Zi took a step forward and spoke word by word: "The affairs of Second Miss are all trivial, and the people from the Zilan Institution have recorded it down. If you do not believe me, I can use the account book of the Zilan Institution to verify with you."
Chu Changxi curled her lips when she heard it. "Since you're from the Zephyr Guild, naturally, I'm speaking up for your master."
Concubine Chen pulled on Chu Changxi's sleeves, signalling to her not to stir up trouble. However, she immediately retracted her hand after glared at her.
"Then according to Third Sister's meaning, if Zhao Zi doesn't know more about the matters of my Zephyr Guild, how come Third Sister knows everything about the affairs of my Zephyr Guild?"
Chu Qinghuan said indifferently, but Chu Changxi's expression immediately changed!
"What do you mean!"
"Enough! Do you still have a sense of propriety? " Chu Siyuan reprimanded, causing Chu Changxi's anger to turn into grievance. Seeing that, Concubine Chen was worried for her daughter, but when she opened her mouth to speak, she heard laughter coming from outside the door.
"We didn't come at the right time, what, what happened in the Chu Clan?"
Hearing that, Chu Siyuan's eyes immediately changed, and hurriedly went forward to welcome them, "Why are the First Prince and Sixth Prince here? "What's going on? Who knows what's going on!"
Huangfu Jing immediately stopped him, "Chu Xiang, don't scold me, it's my fault. I originally wanted to bring Sixth Brother to take a peek at Old Mistress, but I didn't expect that our family would be reunited, I'm really sorry for disturbing you." His gaze intentionally or unintentionally fell on Chu Qinghuan, causing Chu Siyuan's expression to change yet again.
"What is the First Prince saying, it's just that …"
"Prime Minister, the brocade handkerchief has been retrieved. Please have a look."
Huangfu Jing saw that the person who came was gasping for breath, with two hands respectfully holding a brocade sack, and could not help but ask curiously: "Why is this handkerchief so precious, could it be that there is some sort of mysterious trick?"
One of them pretended to be confused! Huangfu Jing's arrival was within his expectations, but he did not expect the First Prince to be so calm today.
"Father, the First Prince and the Sixth Prince are outsiders, why not let them be witnesses, so that they don't wrongly accuse Second Sister, right?" Chu Jinxiu smiled and said: "It's just that my family is ugly and cannot be shown to the public. I hope that the First Prince and Sixth Prince can keep it a secret for the sake of the brocade and my second sister's deep love for you."
Chu Jinxiu was extremely worried, as though she was worried for Chu Qinghuan, but Chu Qinghuan did not dare accept the favor.
From the inside of her words, it was obvious that she was assured that she had a secret relationship with Heir of Marquis of Chengen. Such a sisterly relationship really made her, her little sister, not dare to let it go.
Sixth Prince Huangfu Yu was suddenly enlightened and said in shock: "Could it be the rumors outside?"
The First Prince's brows creased when he heard this and he looked at Chu Qinghuan. "Qinghuan is a princess personally bestowed by the Royal Father, don't tell me she's lacking something? "It must be some villain who framed me. Since I know about this, I will definitely investigate it thoroughly and return the favor with my innocence."
When Chu Qinghuan heard this, he slightly smiled, but Chu Siyuan's figure flashed, and a clear slapping sound rang out, "You rebellious girl!" Hearing that voice caused him to feel a wave of pain.
