Zhongyi Hou Mansion, Anshan Hall

Old Mrs. Chu sat on the arhat couch with Buddhist beads, the second and third wife sat on the side, and there were Chu Jiayu, Chu Jiayun and Yang Lianxin below. Even Chu Xue, the third aunt who had not left the room for many days, was there.

The reason was that when the day fell, Mrs. Chu was preparing for lunch break when someone from the Ministry of Justice suddenly came to arrest people, saying that the rumors outside were first spread by the Zhongyi Hou Mansion.

The visitor was Liu You, the Minister of Justice, who presented the arrest warrant. They asked all the servants in the mansion to gather together and interrogate them one by one.

Old Mrs. Chu was shocked when she heard this. She helped her to meet Liu You in person. The second and third wife rushed over after hearing the sound. After learning about the situation, she realized that they were handling the case. Old Mrs. Chu asked everyone to cooperate.

The yamen were very efficient at doing things. They first asked the people from Qingliyuan that the eldest lady claimed that she was sick and was inconvenient to meet others. She asked her mother Qin to gather her servants together. After interrogating, there was no suspicion. Then, other courtyards and pavilions finally found the suspicious person in Yilan Small Courtyard, which was Huang Lian.

After the official stern questioning, she finally admitted it, saying that the fifth girl instructed her to spread the news, and the songs were also compiled by the fifth girl, asking her to find someone to spread overnight.

The other maids of Xiaozhuyuan denied this matter and absolutely believed that their girl did not do this. After investigation, the yamen found a jade bracelet and a few ingots of silver under the pillow of Huanglian. The jade bracelet was actually a gift from the Princess Chu when Chu Xinyu attended the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

Zi Ling and Danqing unanimously denied that the jade bracelet would not have been given to Huang Lian by the girl, but Huang Lian must have stolen it.

But they are maids and they have no weight in their words. The yamen wanted to take them back as evidence.

There were evidence and physical evidence, and Liu You immediately announced the rumors that slandered Miss Fu Er. Chu Xinyu was instructing people to spread it and wanted to arrest her and return to the Ministry of Justice, but Chu Xinyu was taken into the palace by people from the palace.

Liu You did not delay and immediately sent someone to report to E Guogong, and he took the team back to the Ministry of Justice.

Old Mrs. Chu didn't believe Chu Xinyu would do such a thing, and the second and third wife didn't believe it either. The second wife sent someone to find Chu Zhiye and asked him to inquire about the current situation of the Ministry of Justice and see if they could make them check it carefully. Yu Yatou would never spread rumors.

The second lady was afraid that Old Mrs. Chu would be worried, so she comforted her and said, "Ye'er and Zhang'er have both gone to find someone to help, don't worry. It's not her that she did, and the results will be found."

Chu Xue also comforted the old lady Chu and said, "Yes, mother, we don't believe that Yu Yatou will spread rumors. Those who are innocent will be clear. I believe that the people from the Ministry of Justice will definitely give her an innocent person."

Yang Lianxin, who was standing next to her, was in a complicated mood. When she entered the Ministry of Justice, even if she was innocent in the end, she would be injured. Even if Chu Xinyu had the ability to dominate the sky this time, she would probably not be able to escape the prison.

At first, when she saw people from the Ministry of Justice arresting people, she was almost scared and thought she was here to arrest her because she had been making trouble in front of her sixth and eighth cousins, saying that the Hou of Peking and Miss Fu Er were suspected of having a secret meeting. Unexpectedly, these rumors came out the next day, saying that they were originally a couple.

She didn't expect that the rumors of Chu Xinyu robbing Miss Fu Er's marriage turned into rumors that attacked Miss Fu Er's reputation. These rumors were really not spread by her. She just gave a ingot of silver to let the hooligans on the street spread everywhere Chu Xinyu robbed Miss Fu Er's marriage.

Fortunately, I didn't find her, but I didn't expect the spearhead to point at Xiaozhuyuan. Could it be that the rumors about attacking Miss Fu Er were really spread by Chu Xinyu?

Did she want to ruin her reputation because she was jealous of Miss Fu Er? Or were these rumors spread by the sixth cousin who asked someone to spread the matter that day? Otherwise, why did she say that the Hou of Peking and Miss Fu Er seem to have an affair, and such rumors spread the next day.

If she was a sixth cousin, she would be so scary. She actually thought of scapegoating, but she would not leave the house for two days without leaving the house. When the rumors spread outside, she pretended not to know anything, and no one thought that it would be her.

"I believe that Yatou Yu will not do such a thing." Old Mrs. Chu said firmly that since her granddaughter returned from Puling Temple, she has been very smart and spread rumors and slandering her rival. She will not do such stupid things.

Chu Jiayu and Chu Jiayun dared not speak out. They couldn't help, so they just waited quietly for the news to come back.

At this time, a little maid rushed in and said, "Old lady, Zhubo is back, it was sent back by His Highness the King of Qin."

King of Qin?

Old Mrs. Chu was excited. If the King of Qin was helping, the girl Yu would definitely be fine.

Before Old Lady Chu could say anything, Yang Lianxin asked excitedly, "Where is the King of Qin?"

"The King of Qin sent Zhubo back and went back."

When Yang Lianxin heard this, she was disappointed and thought she could see him.

"Where is Zhubo?" asked the old lady Chu, she wanted to know about Yu Yatou's situation.

After saying that, when the curtain was opened, Zhu Bo walked in, and said, "Old lady, the girl said she would come back to the Ministry of Justice and tell you, "You old man, don't worry, she will be fine."

The second and third wife asked in unison: "Did she go to the Ministry of Justice by herself?"

"No, it was the Marquis of Peking who accompanied her."

The second and third wife looked at each other and asked in disbelief: "Is it the Marquis of Peiping?"

Zhu Bo nodded, "Yes, he said the girl was his fiancée, and he would not let her have something to do."

At that time, she wanted to go to the Ministry of Justice with the girl. Even if she couldn't enter, she wanted to wait for the news outside. The Hou of Peking said that the girl was his fiancée and would not let her have anything to do, so she asked her to go back to the house first to wait for the news.

With the promise of the Marquis of Peking, she came back with peace of mind and brought the news to Mrs. Chu and the second wife, who all cared about the girl.

When they heard that the Marquis of Peking accompanied them, they were relieved. The third wife asked Zhu Bo: "Who sent a carriage to pick Chu Xinyu up to the palace this morning?"

Zhu Bo said: "Concubine Kang."

Everyone guessed what point it was that Concubine Kang would have taken her into the palace by chance. Concubine Kang, King of Qin, and the Marquis of Peking, were protected by Chu Xinyu in the Ministry of Justice.

Chu Xuehuan said to herself: "Mother, you don't have to worry now."

Old Mrs. Chu was a little relieved, but she didn't see Chu Xinyu coming back safely, and her brows still didn't stretch.

...

In Qingli Garden, Yuan was sleeping on the couch. Chu Jiating sat on the side with needlework and embroidered flowers. The maid who went to Anshantang to find out the news hurriedly ran in and said, "Madam, there is news."

Yuan immediately opened his eyes, sat up, and said, "Say."

The maid said, "Zhu Bo is back, it was sent back by His Highness King Qin. I heard that the fifth girl had gone to the Ministry of Justice and was accompanied by the Marquis of Peking."

"What?" Yuan's eyes widened in surprise. She heard it correctly. The Marquis of Peking accompanied her to the Ministry of Justice?

After hearing this, Chu Jiating almost got a needle into her finger.

The maid thought that Yuan hadn't heard it, so she said it again.

Yuan stood up and paced back and forth anxiously in the room. This was different from what she expected. This little girl would never come back.

"Mother, why would the Marquis of Peking accompany her to the Ministry of Justice? Shouldn't he care about Miss Fu Er?" Chu Jiating's mother walked around the room, which made her nervous.

She knew that her mother had taken action to solve Chu Xinyu. The rumors she sent people yesterday were spreading, but she didn't expect that the spread became more and more intense today. It was only when the Ministry of Justice came to arrest people that she knew that her mother helped her and led the disaster to Chu Xinyu. Otherwise, she would be the one in the Ministry of Justice at this moment.

Yuan sneered: "How many men can pass the beauty's conscience? That little girl looks charming and her ability to seduce men is like her biological mother."

Chu Jiating said worriedly: "What should we do now?"

"Mama Qin." Yuan walked to the window and shouted.

After a while, Qin's mother came in from outside, and Yuan asked her, "Have you handled everything you told you?"

Mama Qin replied, "Madam, I have handled it all, and the other party said that she would let the girl say no more."

Yuan nodded, "You did a good job. As long as the girl dies, this matter will not be involved in us. By the way, where is the little maid named Liu'er?"

"Dazhu said that her body had been thrown into the mass grave and was done very cleanly."

Only then did Yuan's tight expression ease a little. Only then could she feel at ease when all the annoying people were clean, and she would not have spent so much money.

She finally took the position of a madam as a lord, and took charge of the entire madam's gift. She must not let anyone block her way. All those who blocked her way will die!

...

Besides, Chu Xinyu, accompanied by Lin Chenyao, came to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.

I heard that the rumor was caught, and there were many people watching the fun standing outside the lobby, whispering and talking.

A yamen in the prison hall took a court stick and stopped the person outside to maintain order so as not to disturb the Ministry of Justice to ask questions.

To be honest, although Chu Xinyu saw this situation, he was still a little nervous.

Lin Chenyao saw her nervousness and said warmly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Because of his simple and ordinary words, Chu Xinyu's tense body relaxed instantly. For some reason, she was willing to believe him at this moment! Even if there was a dangerous beast in front of her, she felt that he would block in front of her and split a safe road for her!

The yamen outside the door saw Chu Xinyu and asked at her: "Are you Miss Chu Wu?"

Mr. Liu told me that Miss Chu Wu was extremely beautiful, and the woman in front of me looked like a lotus fairy, with her fairy figure and jade color, which was the most beautiful he had ever seen, so it was definitely true.

But when he saw the man beside her, his expression suddenly became nervous. He had seen this man. A month ago, he fought against the rebel Cheng Zeli, and won a great victory. He returned triumphantly with his army.

At that time, I was on duty and took the people from the yamen to maintain order on the street. I saw him riding a horse wearing silver light battle armor, his eyebrows were like picturesque, and the black cloak was flying behind me, facing the bright sunlight, like the God of War in person in the Nine Heavens, with a bright and bright wind and no one could look at him.

"Little, the villain has seen the Marquis of Beiping." After recognizing him, the Yachao saluted Lin Chenyao respectfully before Chu Xinyu answering.

When the onlookers heard that the Yamashiro called this man the Marquis of Beiping, the undefeated God of War in the Xu Dynasty, they looked at him with awe and saluted with blessings.

Lin Chenyao waved his hand, "It's okay."

"Young one, go in and report." The Marquis of Beiping came to the Ministry of Justice, of course he had to report to the Minister Shangshu.

"No need." Lin Chenyao made a sound to stop him, then held Chu Xinyu's hand and stepped in.

When the Yamachao saw that he was holding the slender hand, he asked his colleague next to him: "Did they come together?"

"It should be." The colleague nodded, thought for a while, and said in confusion: "Didn't the rumors say that the Marquis of Beiping and Miss Fu Er love each other? Why do I think that the Marquis of Beiping and Miss Chu Wu are love each other? They just stood together, and they were so dazzling that I thought it was a god from the sky."

"Yes, that's it!" Yachae said: "The Marquis of Beiping is a hero who stands tall and strong. How could he be a person who is unwilling to see others? The rumors outside are not true."

"Don't be so sure. Now it's Miss Chu Wu who spreads rumors. Maybe the Marquis of Beiping brought Miss Chu Wu to surrender." A tender voice from the onlookers said.

Someone echoed: "That's right, the Marquis of Beiping is a famous war god in our dynasty. He has handsome eyebrows and majestic temperament. I don't know how many girls admire him. Maybe Miss Chu Wu is just jealous of Miss Fu Er's favor and deliberately spread rumors to slander her reputation."

As soon as this person finished speaking, the onlookers agreed and began to criticize him indiscriminately. Some people scolded Miss Chu Wu for being shameless, morally corrupt, and slandering Miss Fu Er's reputation, and should be punished.

A petite figure quietly retreated from the crowd, quickly crossed the road, and walked into a teahouse opposite. In the corner was a girl with a veil, looking at the Ministry of Justice opposite, revealing her beautiful eyes flashing with a cold light.

Sitting in the punishment hall was Zheng Pengyi, the Minister of Justice, below were Liu You and Wu Wencheng, and the fourth son of the Fu family, Fu Guanjue, were sitting there. They all had the cold faces and were determined to severely punish those who spread rumors.

Of course, Miss Fu Er is the treasure of the Fu family. The Fu family usually protects her very much. Although she has no parents, the two aunts treat her no less than the legitimate daughter. Moreover, Duke E has already spoken that he must bring the person who spread rumors to justice.

The third brother passed away, but he failed to capture the murderer and avenge them. He felt guilty about the spirit of the couple in heaven. Now someone deliberately spread rumors to slander Er Yatou's reputation, and he will never let him go!

Shangshu Zheng was a good friend of Duke E, and his niece was his niece, so he was particularly concerned about this matter and personally interrogated the person who spread the rumors.

Seeing the two people coming in, Zheng Shangshu was shocked on the spot. Why did the Marquis of Peking also come?

Fu Guanjue was also surprised that Lin Chenyao actually accompanied Chu Xinyu. Didn’t he like the second sister? Chu Xinyu spread rumors to slander the reputation of the second sister and came with her. Aren’t he afraid that the second sister would be angry?

Everyone present saw Lin Chenyao and immediately got up to salute him. Shangshu Zheng said respectfully: "Why is the Marquis of Beiping here?"

Lin Chenyao said in a quiet voice: "I came with my fiancée."

Fiancée? Are you talking about Miss Chu Wu?

Zheng Shangshu realized this and sweat oozed slightly from his forehead. What should he do now? Duke E was his friend. When he took on the case, he vowed to severely punish those who spread rumors. But with the Marquis of Peking, how could he dare to punish his fiancée in front of him?
