Chapter 198: Confession(1/2)

Chu Xinyu laughed and said, "I'm curious too. Why is my fruit missing in the carriage? I will only know when my sixth sister comes and ask her."

She was really curious, why did Chu Jiating have the attitude to say that these fruits were given to her by Princess Mingxi? If she explained that Xi gave them to them, it would be fine, but she put herself aside and told Chu Jiayun that she had saved Fu Guanzhang, so that Chu Jiayun would tell Old Lady Chu on the pretext that she thought that Old Lady Chu would blame her for this, and then the fruit would just turn over?

Chu Jiayun smiled and said, "Fifth sister, the sixth sister will not come here today. She has something to do and goes to my uncle's house. She may not come back tomorrow."

After saying that, she looked at Chu Xinyu proudly, as if she was saying that she could not do anything to us.

When Chu Xinyu heard this, she smiled and said to the old lady Chu: "Grandma, I will move into the embroidery building in two days. I want to invite a few friends to come and have fun."

As for her sudden change of topic, everyone was a little surprised. She seemed to stop pursuing the missing fruit. Chu Jiayun breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Jiaqi was eating the fruit but didn't say anything. Compared to her previous irritable temperament, she did change a lot.

Chu Jiapeng and Chu Jiayu had known that Chu Xinyu would invite someone to come to the mansion to play. Chu Jiapeng was cold-hearted and didn't care about these things, but Chu Jiayu was happy and asked, "Will you invite Princess Mingxi and Princess Zhaoyang?"

"Of course, I will, thank you for their care during this outing, so that I can return safely."

Chu Xinyu's words revealed a message, that is, she has a good relationship with Princess Mingxi. If she had a good relationship, she would not be able to give so many fruits and cherry Chu Jiating, but Chu Xinyu didn't have one. Then, this only means that some of the fruits Chu Jiating used to respect Old Lady Chu were Chu Xinyu, but Chu Jiating did not explain, or, Chu Jiating put away the fruits that Chu Xinyu brought back and did not return them to her.

But why did Chu Jiating do this?

Although the old lady Chu could not guess the reason for Chu Jiating to do this, she had already disagreed with Chu Jiating's approach. When she came back, she did not mention Chu Xinyu's rescue in front of her, but was exposed by Chu Jiayun. Chu Jiayun did not go to the villa to play, how could she know?

If such rumors really spread outside, how could no one in the mansion know about it?

"Since you want to invite someone to come and have fun, you have to make some arrangements and don't be rude. If you have any needs, tell your second aunt and I will let her do my best to match you."

"I will, just..."

When the old lady Chu saw Chu Xinyu looking eager to speak but stopped, she asked, "What's it just?"

Chu Xinyu said: "In the morning, Princess Mingxi told me that the Marquis of Peking specially sent me a basket of things and told me that I must open it when I go back. There was a gift left to me by the Marquis of Peking, but Sister Liu of the Basketball did not give me it."

Old Mrs. Chu said, "Don't worry, when she comes back, I will definitely ask her to return the things to you."

Chu Jiayun was a little surprised and thought that Chu Xinyu would no longer pursue the matter in the water. Unexpectedly, she turned the topic back around the bush and turned the topic back. Then she became even more angry. Chu Xinyu did not give up on pursuing her things. Old Mrs. Chu trusted her so much, and I wonder if the next thing would go smoothly.

She knew that her sister took the fruits as she had already owned, and she had taken the basket to her uncle's house and would not come back today. She would not come back after the matter was over.

"Thank you grandma."

Chu Xinyu was waiting for Old Lady Chu's words. Chu Jiating thought that if Chu Jiayun told her about saving people, would she be hated by Old Lady Chu and others? But she never expected that she would sue her for a turn.

After chatting with Mrs. Chu Xinyu found an excuse to get out of the way.

Seeing her leave, Chu Jiapeng and Chu Jiayu took a break and chased Chu Xinyu out.

"Fifth Sister." Chu Jiayu called her and said, "Is the bamboo basket given to you by the Marquis of Beiping blue?"

Chu Xinyu nodded, "Yes."

"I saw her maid put on the carriage." Chu Jiayu said. At that time, she came back from outside and saw a carriage about to leave the house. She turned over and took a look. She saw Xueyan carrying a bamboo basket on the carriage. When she saw her look, she glared at her. She didn't care at that time. She remembered it just now when Chu Xinyu mentioned it.

"Well, I understand." Chu Xinyu had known for a long time that he would not return the fruit to her. There was a sign that he wanted to break up with her. Why did she suddenly do this?

Later, Chu Jiayun said that she went to her uncle's house and would not come back today, but according to her memory, Chu Jiating was not close to the relatives of Yuan's family. Even if she went there to visit relatives with Yuan, she would never stay there overnight.

If something goes wrong, there will be a demon.

"Do you know?" Chu Jiapeng said in surprise: "Why didn't you tell my grandmother just now?" With the attitude of grandmother towards her now, she would definitely stand on her side. The sixth sister did it this time.

Chu Xinyu smiled, "No one is here, and she can't be punished if she says it."

"It's really too much. How could she take advantage of these things?" Chu Jiayu thought Yang Lianxin would do this, but she didn't expect that among the sisters, the understanding sixth sister, who was always among the sisters, was a greedy person. I wonder if she was like this or later?

"Who knew what she was thinking." Chu Xinyu sneered, not wanting to talk about this issue, so he said, "You heard me just now. In two days, I will post a post to invite a few friends to come and play. You can come and help me greet the guests."

"Fifth Sister, will I affect you in the past?" Chu Jiayu remembered her identity and heard that some girls from aristocratic families, especially those from legitimate daughters, do not like to let the concubines be born. If she went to entertain them, would she feel that Chu Xinyu had neglected them?

Chu Xinyu knew what she was worried about, so she said, "Don't worry, they are not those sharp-eyed people."

"That's good, your friend, we will definitely treat you well."

...

Qingliyuan

Yuan was sitting in front of the desk to copy Buddhist scriptures. A little maid rushed in and whispered a few words in her ear. After hearing this, Yuan sneered, "I understand, go down and see if Mother Hao is back."

The little maid nodded and stepped out.

After a while, a middle-aged woman with a pretty appearance and blue banana cloth armor came in. She saluted Yuan and said, "Madam."

Yuan put down his pen and said, "How are you prepared for what you want you to prepare?"

Mother Hao said, "Madam, the slave you want is ready."

Since Qin's mother left, Yuan took Mother Hao to replace him. Although Mother Hao was not her dowry maid, she has followed her for many years and is no less loyal to her than that of Mother Qin.

Yuan thought for a moment, "Where is her?"

Now everything is done, but the east wind is not available.

Mother Hao smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, that person is ready, I'll wait to watch the show tomorrow."

Yuan nodded, "That's good, you must not miss it again this time."

Chu Jiating came back at noon and told her that the Marquis of Peking was very good to Chu Xinyu and she didn't even dislike her using her mouth to help other men take drugs. She knew that Chu Xinyu could never keep it anymore. If she married the Marquis of Peking in the future, she would never have any good results.

Moreover, Chu Jiating also told her that Chu Xinyu could ride a horse and told others that she had learned from the King of Qin secretly, but I am afraid that even Chu Xinyu didn't know that the two maids around her were hers before. How could she not know where she went? If she learned to ride a horse secretly, she wouldn't know?

From this we can see that this Chu Xinyu would never be the Chu Xinyu of the past. Since she could not find her evidence, she would have to use extraordinary means.

...

Chu Xinyu returned to Xiaozhuyuan, entered the study, and continued to copy the unfinished part of "Night of Mid-Autumn Festival".

Lan Yi brought in with chrysanthemum, wolfberry, and red date tea, put it on the table, and then grind the ink for her, "Girl, there is something going on there."

Chu Xinyu sneered, "She was still a little anxious."

Lan Yi said: "The person who followed him said that Mrs. Qin lives in Luyuan, which is a house under the name of the Sixth Prince. It is located on Tsinghua Street, only half an hour away from the Hou Mansion."

"Tsinghua Street?" Chu Xinyu paused his hands. That day, King Qin gave her a list of Mei's dowry. She took a look at it and remembered that Mei had a four-entry dowry house, which was on Tsinghua Street, but not called Luyuan, but Zhangxiangyuan.

How could Chu Zhiyi have a house there?

The location is good, and the four-entry house is not available for purchase without 60,000 or 70,000 taels of silver.

"You go check it out, was this green garden called Zhangxiang Garden before?"

"Okay, I'll ask someone to check it right away." Lan Yi finished speaking and walked out.

Chu Xinyu put down his pen and suddenly lost the mood to draw.

She dared to bet that Luyuan must be Zhangxiangyuan. How did Yuan give Zhangxiangyuan to her son? The house used to belong to the Mei family.

I don’t know how much left is Mei’s dowry, but it seems that this is what she is going to investigate now.

So I opened the safe and took out a manual.

She took a blank piece of paper, copied a copy on it, and put it aside to wait for the ink to dry.

After dinner, Lan Yi came back and told her that Luyuan was Zhangxiang Garden before, and it was renamed about two years ago. In other words, before Chu Zheng was transferred, he had fallen into Chu Zhiyi's name.

Chu Xinyu pondered for a moment, then took the copied dowry gift list and went to Anshantang.

Old Mrs. Chu just took a shower and Madam Sun was combing her hair. When she heard Chu Xinyu coming, she was stunned. It must be something important for Yu to come to find her so late, so she asked someone to invite her into the inner room and sit.

Yuqin brought Chu Xinyu hot tea and told her that the old lady would come out and let her wait a while.

Chu Xinyu nodded, and after waiting for a while, he saw Madam Sun helping Old Lady Chu come out.

Chu Xinyu got up and saluted her.

Old Mrs. Chu said, "Girl Yu, what's the matter with looking for grandmother so late?"

Chu Xinyu pondered for a moment and said, "Last time when he entered the palace, Concubine Kang knew that the emperor gave her grandson a marriage, so she gave her granddaughter a gift list, saying that this was the dowry list when her mother married her father. I have always forgotten about this when I came back. I just remembered it, so I copied one and brought it to my grandmother to see if the gift list inside was the same as before."

After saying that, she took out the gift list and placed it on the table.

Old Mrs. Chu didn't expect that she came for this matter. When she saw the gift list, she was surprised. She never expected that the dowry gift list that Concubine Kang would have in her hand.

Chu Xinyu looked directly at the old lady Chu and said, "That day, I looked at the gift list and saw a Zhangxiangyuan house on Tsinghua Street. I heard that it was the house where my grandfather lived before his marriage. There were many of his famous works. So when I came back today, I went to see it, but it was no longer Zhangxiangyuan, but it was changed to Xiangyuan."

"Changed his name?" Old Mrs. Chu frowned. She was not managed by Meijie's house, but was managed by her son. She had never asked about this for so many years. Now, when Chu Xinyu said it, she felt ashamed.

Chu Xinyu's eyes never left the old lady Chu. Seeing her surprised expression, she knew about this, but she didn't know about it. The only ones who wanted to know about it were Chu Zheng and Yuan.

She nodded: "Yes, the name has changed, and there is someone living inside. You and I are familiar with this person."

"who?"

She is also familiar with it?

Old Mrs. Chu seemed to have guessed who it was. Sure enough, she heard Chu Xinyu say, "Mom Qin."

It's really her!

Old Mrs. Chu's eyebrows were tightly twisted, and Yuan was too greedy.

Zhangxiang Garden belongs to the Mei family. A Feng Shui master once said that this house is a Feng Shui treasure land, so many people want to buy that house, but they don’t sell it no matter how much they give it.

When Mr. Mei gave it to Mr. Mei as a dowry, she was shocked. Of course, Mr. Mei had only two daughters. The eldest daughter entered the palace and enjoyed endless wealth and glory. All the money was given to her younger daughter. Therefore, it was not surprising that Mr. Mei had ten-mile red makeup.

"I will ask someone to investigate this matter. If Yuan really took it, I will let her spit it out." Old Mrs. Chu said.
