C20 Wound

In the end, Madam Chen did not blame Chu Leyan for serving her for a long time. Madam Su could understand the meaning behind the madame's words. She knew that she could no longer hide the matter, so she gritted her teeth and kowtowed heavily to the old lady, "My lady, my lord, I did it! "Because of Yinqiu, I hate Eldest Miss. It was all my idea!"

"You bitch!" Chu Pingke was instantly enraged, he pointed at Madam Su and cursed, "This grand Prime Minister's Mansion residence is being made black and blue by you, today I will divorce you!"

Chu Leyan, though bright enough, was a year younger than Chu Nianhe, only fourteen. When she saw that her mother was about to be punished by the madame and the old master, she couldn't bear it anymore and knelt down while crying, "Father, please don't blame your mother. Since I have become sensible, your mother has always been by your side. "If father chased mother out, Leyan would never have a mother again. Father, please forgive mother!" With that, he kowtowed heavily, and after a few kowtows, a red mark appeared on his forehead.

Chu Leyan's words were teary, pitiful, and the red swelling on her forehead was enough to scare everyone. Madam Chen was biased in the end. When she saw the tears on Chu Leyan's small face, she frowned and said, "The clothes didn't break after all. For the sake of Leyan's filial piety, please spare her mother." "I'll just punish her with half a year's worth of silver, and chase this wife and Maid out of the residence."

Upon hearing Madam Chen's words, a look of surprise and joy appeared on Chu Leyan's face as she respectfully kowtowed a few times to Madam Chen.

Chu Nianhe didn't say a word the entire time as she coldly looked at the situation that had turned around. With Madam Chen's help, Chu Leyan and Madam Su were going to let this matter pass. Was the price they had to pay that easily? If her clothes were truly damaged, how could these people let her off so easily?

She sneered in her heart as she coldly glanced in Xiaochan's direction. Without any hesitation, Xiaochan quietly opened a small carved box in her hands. She took out a small amount of powder and lightly shook it on the palace uniform.

This powder was also the Ruan Ling Fragrance, but it had some spices that could attract cats, and the Ruan Ling Fragrance was the most adsorbed smell, so no one could smell it, and cats could instantly smell it.

Chu Leyan had just put down her anxious mood and wanted to stand up shakily. Perhaps the hand holding the cat tightened its grip, but the silvery-eyed cat shrieked sharply and struggled free, slicing Chu Leyan's face with its paw.

"Ah!" Chu Leyan cried out in alarm. Two one-inch long wounds were left on her face by the cat! She felt both pain and fear. She couldn't help but loosen her grip on the cat. The cat seemed to have gone crazy as it pounced towards the palace uniform!

Xiaochan and Xiaoling were frightened to the point of screaming as they squatted on the ground when they saw the black cat pounce at them. In just a split-second, the cat claw had scratched the incomparably precious imperial costume, leaving two long gashes on the satin of Shu brocade!

At this moment, Chu Leyan couldn't care less about the palace uniform anymore. She cried loudly, trembling as she tried to touch the bloody wound on her face. Madam Su reacted quickly and ran over to grab Chu Leyan's hand. She shouted towards the door, "Go get a doctor!"

Everyone was shocked for a while before they came to their senses. Chu Pingke stood up angrily and scolded Chu Leyan, "I already said not to raise this beast! You're not obedient! "

Chu Leyan was crying so hard that she couldn't hear anything. She was born out of a concubine, and the reason why she fawned over the madame all these years was to have a good marriage. Now that his face had been disfigured, it would probably be difficult for him to find a son-in-law who could match his Prime Minister's Mansion.

Madam Chen didn't have time to care about Chu Leyan, who was crying on the ground. She looked at her damaged palace uniform and frowned. "This is not good. We've caused a disaster!"

When Chu Nianhe saw Madam Chen's anxious face, she was quite shocked. She turned to Madam Chen and said, "Grandmother, Second Sister said just now that this uniform was rarely repaired. What should we do now that it has been damaged like this?"

When Madam Chen heard Chu Nianhe's words, she was truly angered by Chu Leyan's inability to support her and angrily retorted, "It's all the fault of the second girl. She had to look at her clothes and let the cat scratch her clothes. How good is that!"

Chu Pingke looked at the messy scene and was worried that the madame would be angered by this matter and end up with an illness. He then said to Maid, "Send Third Aunt and Second Miss back to their own courtyard!"

Maid and the others hurriedly helped Madam Su and Chu Leyan up. They did not care that Chu Leyan was still crying with her nose in tears. They hurriedly sent them out of the yard.

The room finally quieted down. Chu Pingke helped the madame to sit down and advised, "Mother, there is no need to worry. Your son will go to the palace to report this matter to the emperor. I presume the emperor won't blame you."

Madam Chen had never seen anything before, so she naturally understood that if the palace were to find out about this matter, it would be a serious crime to bully the monarch. Even if Chu Pingke had pleaded for mercy to the emperor based on his dignity as the prime minister, the women of Chu Mansion probably wouldn't even have the face to enter the palace for the banquet. She quickly held Chu Pingke's hand down and said, "That's not right. If His Majesty the Emperor blames us, we, the Chu Mansion, cannot afford it!"

Hearing this, Chu Pingke couldn't help but be troubled. Dealing with Chu Leyan was a small matter, and bullying the monarch was a big crime. He could not help but sigh heavily. First Madam, who did not manage the household properly, did not have peace for even a single day!

Chu Nianhe was more familiar with the palace's rules than anyone else. If she angered the emperor, it would be difficult for her to leave with her revenge in the future. She had a plan in her mind. She looked at the worried Madam Chen and Chu Pingke, pretended to walk to the uniform, and carefully measured the cat claw marks on it.

After reading the letter, she showed an expression of joy. She turned around and thanked Madam Chen and Chu Pingke, saying, "Congratulations, Grandmother. Congratulations, father."

Madam Chen was feeling annoyed. Hearing Chu Nianhe's words, she couldn't help but ask angrily, "Your clothes are all damaged. Why are you still congratulating me?"

Chu Nianhe said with a smile, "Just now, Nianhe checked the marks on her clothes. Although there were two big scratches on her clothes, they were all identical because of the thin nails. If there were a skilled embroidery lady and two fine willow sticks, it could make up for the deficiencies. Nianhe knows that there's a very good embroidery lady in the Jinyun City area. I'm willing to try it on for Grandmother. "

Before Yan Lichen ascended the throne, he had summoned over a dozen embroidery ladies from Jinyun City to the palace to sew the empress's wedding gown for Chu Nianhe. One of them had found the embroidery lady from a nunnery outside the Jinyun City.

Madam Chen said dubiously, "The embroidery work is really so impressive. It can actually repair a tear on a thin piece of Shu brocade that's as thin as a cicada's wing?"

Chu Nianhe said confidently, "Please rest assured, Grandmother."

She let Maid Xu help her up and said to Chu Nianhe, "Since this has been going on for a long time, your father and I will leave together. Today, I will let you suffer a lot because if you can solve this problem in front of you, then Grandmother will bring you along when the time comes for the palace banquet."

That was what Chu Nianhe wanted. She smiled sweetly at Madam Chen and Chu Pingke and said, "Nianhe sends her grandmother and father off."

Seeing Madam Chen and Chu Pingke walk out of the courtyard, Xiaochan sat on the ground as if she had been freed from all sorts of binding. With a trembling voice, she said, "You scared me to death, you scared me to death!"

Chu Nianhe didn't look at Xiaochan at the side and said expressionlessly, "There are more important things to do at the moment. Accompany me to visit mother first."

Xiaochan flopped to her feet and looked at Xiaoling, who was equally shocked. "Miss, you don't dare go any further, do you? What if someone catches you?"

Chu Nianhe smiled. "For now, the most dangerous place is the safest place. I'm afraid no one will dare to come to my courtyard and make a move after this mess. "
