C19 Counterwise Miscalculation of Intelligence

A cold light flashed in Chu Leyan's eyes, but her face still showed a smile as she said, "Sister only feels that since Grandmother trusts elder sister, elder sister should keep the palace uniform in good order. Now that the palace uniform is damaged, how will elder sister explain this to Grandmother, and how will Grandmother explain this when she enters the palace? "My sister was really worried for elder sister, so she specially invited grandmother and father to help elder sister think of a way. Elder sister, please don't misunderstand my good intentions."

Chu Nianhe stared at her and said, "I said I didn't damage the uniform."

She then turned to Madam Chen and Chu Pingke and said, "Because of the incense given by Grandmother for the past few days, Nianhe did not dare to leave her body for a moment. Her clothes are currently hanging on the back of her body, and if she were to take them out now, she would probably be tainted by other scents and spoil Ruan Lingxiang's excellent scent."

Chu Leyan naturally knew that Chu Nianhe was trying to shirk her responsibility, so she didn't ask Madam Chen and Chu Pingke about it and immediately said, "Big sister, don't tell me that you broke the clothes, so that Grandmother and Father would know about it. We can only wait until later to repair it.

With that, she proudly stared at Chu Nianhe, hoping that her face would be flustered, or perhaps she should immediately kneel down and kowtow to the entire room to beg for forgiveness.

Unexpectedly, Chu Nianhe's face didn't show any signs of panic. She let out a quiet sigh and said, "Since little sister is so insistent, I can't refuse anymore. It's just that I'm afraid my hard work these few days has gone to waste."

With that, she gestured to Xiaochan and Xiaoling, who were standing at the side. The two of them went around to the back of the bed, and brought the rack of palace uniforms in front of everyone.

The sweet fragrance of Ruan Lingxiang wafted out. Along with the sparkling luster of the brocade dress, it made the clothes appear even more gorgeous. The people standing in the room simultaneously looked at the clothes. To their surprise, they discovered that, let alone the hole Xiaorong mentioned, there wasn't even a single wrinkle on the clothes!

Chu Leyan's face turned pale with fright. She immediately turned her head to look at Madam Su, only to see Madam Su using the same incredulous expression she had on her face to look at that piece of clothing.

Didn't Xiaorong say that she cut the clothes twice? Why did he take it out perfectly fine?

Xiaorong, who was kneeling on the ground, had her eyes wide open as well, and she was dumbstruck by what she saw.

"What's going on?!" Madam Chen frowned, "Second girl, didn't you say your clothes were torn?"

Chu Leyan's mind was pounding. She realized that she had fallen into Chu Nianhe's trap. Xiaorong was just a vulgar Maid. She did not even have the chance to see that palace uniform. It was likely that Chu Nianhe, in order to fight back against the mother and daughter pair, had specially changed to attract Xiaorong's attention! It was all her fault for underestimating her opponent so much that she didn't expect Chu Nianhe to be on guard against her. Now that the situation was like this, both her grandmother and father were waiting for her to give an answer.

Chu Leyan was not stupid. After a moment of thought, she lifted her foot and kicked Xiaorong, who was kneeling on the ground. Due to the great amount of strength she used, Xiaorong immediately fell to the ground. Even her face was bleeding from her kowtow.

"You slut, for no reason at all, what is your intention in provoking my relationship with my elder sister?!" Chu Leyan said in a sharp voice.

Zhang Feng, who was standing behind Madam Su, wanted to plead for mercy, but was pulled back by Madam Su. She threatened quietly, "If you don't want your son to enter Shang Shu Manor, then go beg for yourself!"

Zhang Feng hesitated. She looked at Xiaorong, who was crying pitifully, and thought back to her useless and useless son. In the end, she swallowed her words back.

Madam Chen was a daughter of an influential family, and she had married into the Chu Family at the age of sixteen to become First Madam. She knew a bit of the inner courtyard's internal strife even without looking. The current situation was most likely caused by Chu Leyan and Madam Su, and they were deliberately trying to frame Chu Nianhe.

"Leyan." Madam Chen remained calm as she said, "Let's listen to what this girl has to say first."

Upon hearing Madam Chen's words, Chu Leyan was taken aback. At this moment, if Madam Chen wanted to hear Xiaorong's confession, she would already be suspicious. She ruthlessly lifted up the coarse clothes worn by Xiaorong's empress and shouted, "Quickly tell me the truth. If anything goes wrong, call someone to drag him out and beat him to death immediately!"

No matter how stupid Xiaorong was, she could hear the threat in Chu Leyan's words. She looked mournfully at Chu Leyan, then looked at Zhang Feng who was hiding behind Madam Su, knowing that her mother would not speak up for her brother. She gritted her teeth and said, "This servant dare not lie, when this servant enters the room, what is hanging on the shelf is indeed a torn piece of clothing! "Old madam, please look into this!"

Chu Nianhe couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard Xiaorong's words. She took a few steps forward and said to Xiaorong, "Tell me, how did you get into my house?"

Xiaorong had expected Chu Nianhe to come and interrogate her, but she didn't expect this question. She nervously swallowed and lowered her head, saying, "Miss, didn't you say this morning that you would go out and let me clean the house?"

Xiaochan, who was standing at the side, said, "Xiaorong, have you drank some kind of bewitching soup? You're just a scanty girl in our courtyard, why would Miss let you enter our house? "Let's not even mention Xiaoling and I, there should be several second class girls, did you hide your keys and come back to steal something?!"

Doing things in the Prime Minister's Mansion, with your hands and feet dirty, is a huge matter. If not, you might be immediately beaten to death and thrown into the suburbs. Hearing Xiaochan's words, Xiaorong was so frightened that she immediately grabbed Xiaochan's leg and said, "Sister Xiaochan, Sister Xiaochan! It was you who told me to come in and help the madame look after the palace. How could you say that I wanted to steal something? "

Chu Nianhe sneered, "I'll let you do it later, then I'll tell you later that it was Xiaochan who asked you to do it. Do you think it was you who was confused or me who was confused? This palace uniform was bestowed down by the palace. Not to mention an ordinary Maid guarding it, she did not even dare to look at it. I have already told you, if you do not tell me the truth, I will immediately beat you to death in the name of a thief, so as to establish a rule for the servants of Prime Minister's Mansion and let them know what the consequences of stealing is! "

These words were extremely sharp and captivating. Xiaorong was just a crude sweeper of Maid. She had never been to the academy and did not even know how to read. Naturally, she did not have Chu Nianhe's sharp tongue. She had thought that the silver she could get from Madam Su would be used as a reward for her marriage. This crime was really too big.

She could not take it anymore. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old mistress and the old master, kowtowing as she said, "Old madam, old master, please spare me!" "It's my mother, she told me to do this, I wasn't willing to do this …!"

The old mistress frowned. "Who is your mother?"

Xiaorong hesitated for a moment before she glanced in Zhang Feng's direction. Zhang Feng was so frightened that she immediately kneeled down and wailed, "You little b * stard, you dare to accuse me wrongly now. You have been raised by me …"

"Shut up!" Chu Pingke was really annoyed when he heard it. He couldn't help but roar out loud, scaring everyone present: "What kind of occasion is this, to actually say such obscenities out loud! When did the Prime Minister's Mansion allow you people to behave so atrociously! "

Then, as if she was still annoyed, she said to the servant standing by the door: "Beat up this woman and Maid and throw them out, don't ever enter the manor again!"

When Zhang Feng heard this, he was so scared that his scalp went numb. If you hit the 50 board, even if you don't die, you will be crippled! She clutched at Madam Su's skirt in horror, shaking her head as she cried out, Save me, save me! I did it all for you! "

When Madam Chen heard Zhang Feng's words, she finally revealed the truth and said coldly, "Wait a minute. If I don't explain everything clearly, I won't agree!"

Madam Su did not expect Zhang Feng to betray her so easily after following her for so long, so she kneeled down in fear and said to Madam Chen and Chu Pingke: "Old madam, Master, don't listen to this slut's nonsense. She saw that the truth was revealed, so she came to bite me. Please clear this matter for the madame and old master! "

Madam Chen stood there for a long time, feeling tired. Maid Xu, who was beside her, sent someone to bring out two chairs for Madam Chen and Chu Pingke to sit down. Madam Chen then calmly said, "I would really like to know, what is the purpose of a wife and Maid harming Eldest Miss like this. And this little Maid must have been tempted by some good to do such a despicable thing for you! "

Xiaorong was still hoping for a chance at survival, so she didn't dare to lie and told Zhang Feng everything that she knew about her.

After Madam Chen heard this, a trace of anger appeared on her face. "It looks like no one is in charge of this mansion, for an aunt to want to control half of the Prime Minister's Mansion! Madam Su, how dare you! "
