But Chu Xinyu appeared in the front hall alone. Wu Wencheng frowned when he saw that she was the only one. After the last trial of the case at the Ministry of Justice, Wu Wencheng knew that the woman in front of him could not be offended casually, so he brought people to the Marquis' Mansion and did not dare to rashly go to catch people, even though the person he was arrested was just a little maid.

"Miss Chu Wu, we came here to invite the girl named Lan Yi next to you to go back and ask questions." Wu Wencheng spoke with a very sincere tone and attitude. After saying that, he took the arrest application and asked someone to hand it to Chu Xinyu.

Chu Xinyu took it and took a look, looked up, looked at Wu Wencheng, and asked casually: "What is my maid doing? I need to touch the right assistant minister?"

Although the application was clearly written, saying that Lan Yi violated the rules and failed to cure the patient as planned, and even infected the patient with smallpox, she still asked.

Facing Chu Xinyu with a light expression, Wu Wencheng felt an invisible feeling of pressure in his heart. It was obvious that the other party was a girl who was a teenager younger than him. He secretly clenched his hands and said, "The crime committed by Miss Lan Yi is written in the document. This official only handles affairs according to the case. If Miss Chu has any questions, please go to the Ministry of Justice to investigate."

Chu Xinyu said: "Mr. Wu, Lan Yi is my maid. What she did was to give me my order. So, did Lord Wu say I committed a crime?"

"this……"

"Nothing!"

Old Mrs. Chu and the second wife spoke together, but they didn't expect that Chu Xinyu would say such words.

The second wife walked forward and said, "Mr. Wu, my niece is ignorant, don't take it to heart." After speaking, she immediately pulled Chu Xinyu aside and whispered to her: "Don't talk, leave this to me."

"Second Aunt, don't worry, I won't be in trouble." Chu Xinyu patted the second wife's hand and comforted her.

"But this matter is not as simple as it seems." The second wife said worriedly.

"I know."

As he said that, Chu Xinyu leaned into her ear and said softly, regardless of the second wife's reaction, then turned around to face Wu Wencheng again. Since all the documents were sent, he would have to arrest people. If they were not caught, these officials would not leave. She didn't want these people to stay in the mansion for a long time, so as not to cause trouble.

"Mr. Wu, aren't you going to take my maid back to ask questions? I know her best, so I will ask me the same."

When Wu Wencheng heard this, a tiny bead of sweat immediately emerged from his forehead. He dared not detain her. Soon after, she was the wife of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Prince of Rong. The prince of the Duke of Rong's mansion had always protected him, let alone the cold-faced war god, Marquis of the Marquis of Beiping. That day, he saw the scene of him protecting his woman in the punishment hall. If he offended his wife, it would be equivalent to offending him.

If it weren't for someone from the superior's pressure, he wouldn't dare to come and cause trouble for Chu Xinyu. But now the person who was going to arrest is not there, and he could not force himself to search. However, the superiors could not submit the matters he had told. He weighed the pros and cons, and he just took her back as Chu Xinyu said.

Old Mrs. Chu didn't understand why Chu Xinyu wanted to leave with Wu Wencheng. Seeing that Chu Xinyu was about to leave, she asked Madam Sun to help her up, "Girl Yu, can't you go with him?"

The third lady received the look handed over by the second lady and hurriedly held her down, "Old lady, don't worry, Yat Yu is a smart person, she must have her reason for doing this." This girl is usually very smart. If she had no way to escape, how could she have left the official so easily?

"Come back the second and third brothers quickly. If Yu Yatou goes like this, something will happen."

Old Mrs. Chu thought that her wedding date with Duke Rong's mansion would come. If it was spread, her reputation would be ruined and the girl's life would be ruined.

The second wife said, "Old lady, don't worry, we have someone to pass on the message to the master."

How could Old Lady Chu be in a hurry? Even if the Chu Xiao brothers came back, she was worried, but she couldn't do anything, so she was so angry that she swayed. Fortunately, Madam Sun supported her, otherwise she would burrow her head on the floor.

The front hall was in chaos in an instant, and Chu Xinyu had already walked out of the mansion at this time. There were many people watching on the street. Because Wu Wencheng came with the official mission, everyone on the street saw it, not to mention that this is the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, which has the most talked about recently.

These days they followed the prince's mansion to do good deeds and were rewarded by the emperor and the queen mother and others. So the wealthy families or some merchants in the city followed suit. The rice prices in the capital were unstable due to this plague and refugees entering the capital, but they stabilized as a result.

Therefore, the people in the capital were very grateful to the families who did good deeds first. Now that they saw the officials coming to Zhongyi Hou’s Mansion, they wanted to know what happened.

But when someone saw Chu Xinyu being taken away by an official, someone was stunned. Isn’t she the fiancée of the Marquis of Peking? The emperor only enthroned her as the lord of Shengping County not long ago. What crime did she commit? Will the official take her away?

The onlookers asked others about the reason, except for the people in the Marquis' Mansion, they didn't know the reason. Some people wanted to take advantage of this to spread rumors, so they all had all kinds of statements, and the most circulated one was that Chu Xinyu killed someone and killed Gu Si.

Many people don’t know Gu Si, but I heard that Miss Chu Wu killed someone, no matter what the truth is, someone told the story of the murder and the motives very vividly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

In less than half a day, this message spread almost throughout Kyoto City and even to the palace.

"What's going on?"

On the way back from the back garden, the emperor heard the palace maid discussing this matter, so he asked the eunuch Rong who was close to him. He did not believe these rumors. Chu Xinyu was the one he gave to Lin Chenyao, but he saw her intelligence and ability, which was very suitable for Lin Chenyao. How could such a person kill an unknown little person, and be spread all the time.

Eunuch Rong had a brief contact with her because she helped Chu Xinyu find someone to sell the folding fan given by the emperor. At that time, she gave herself a fraction of the money. When he found out, Chu Xinyu did not take up the 300,000 taels as her own, so she donated two-thirds of the silver.

He reported this to the emperor. The emperor was not angry, but stroked his beard and said: Sure enough, he did not read her wrongly.

Eunuch Rong understood the intention of the emperor giving Chu Xinyu the folding fan, which was to believe that she knew how to use the value of the folding fan to do more meaningful things, so with the emperor's acquiesce, he helped her tie the bridge and sold it at a good price.

Now Chu Xinyu is rumored to have been killed and has been arrested by the Ministry of Justice. With the emperor's tacit consent, Eunuch Rong immediately sent someone to inquire about the real situation. As a result, the people who came back said that the reason for the arrest of Chu Xinyu was accused her maid of developing a false antidote, which caused the people in the west of the city to be infected with smallpox.

The ministers were also controversial in the court over the past two days. The smallpox just exploded and no deaths have been reported. Despite this, the plague of smallpox has always been discolored by people. Not only because of its high mortality rate and rapid spread, but mainly because there is no corresponding prescription to treat smallpox. There is only a way to prevent problems, but no cure.
