Chen Peiwen sat on the ground in horror, not daring to look up at Tong Qingyan for a while, but she also knew that she bit her lip and swallowed all the words that came to her mouth.

After everyone calmed down their emotions, Tong Qingyan walked around everyone and walked to the side room, uncovered the cotton handkerchief and patted the shoulder of the person on the bed.

"The play is over, get up."

Tong Huaiyuan looked at the pearl that got up from the bed, and then looked at his wife who grabbed his sleeve and calmly wiped the tears, confused.

"What the hell is going on?"

Tong Huaiyuan asked the doubts of everyone present, Shuangxi wiped away his tears and glared at Pearl fiercely, the latter shrugged his shoulders innocently, and turned to help Tong Qingyan sit down.

"Princess Niangniang, His Royal Highness, Father, Uncle and Aunt, please take a seat."

The small wing room was full of people, and the rest of the people retreated outside the wing room, stretching their necks to look at the girls kneeling in front of their masters at the moment.

Chen Peiwen didn't want to kneel, but at this moment, her legs were still unable to stand up, and her heart was even more confused.

"Miss Tong San, what are you doing?"

Chen Yan looked at Chen Peiwen who was kneeling there, her temples jumped suddenly, and she had an intuition that nothing good happened.

Wen Lan listened to the displeasure in Chen Yan's words, and her face became extremely ugly, if it weren't for the fact that she had promised her daughter not to make trouble in the morning, she would have to talk to the princess about who was making a fool of herself.

Although Tong Qingyan was not weak at the moment, she still had muscle weakness caused by sequelae, so she leaned on the back of the chair and glanced at Chen Peiwen, who was kneeling silently, and beckoned to Pearl.

Pearl cleared her throat and attracted everyone's attention.

"Back to the princess, my young lady has just recovered from a serious illness, and her body is still weak at the moment, please allow the princess to allow the slave to answer on her behalf."

"Exactly."

Pearl walked to the bedside, took out the handkerchief that Wen Qituo had put down from his bosom, and pointed it out to everyone.

"My young lady is extremely unwell because of seasickness, and she has not stepped out of the door for a few days, and the imperial doctor Yan sent by the palace diagnosed that my young lady was blowing a cold wind, which caused the wind evil to enter the body and the high fever did not go away, everyone here knows it."

Looking at everyone who nodded silently, Pearl raised the handkerchief with both hands and respectfully handed it to the princess.

"The slave maid and the double happiness are the personal maids of the young lady, since the young lady is seasick, there is always one person to guard, but at night the young lady ordered the slaves and maids to go back to the house to rest, and the slaves and maids also confirmed that the doors and windows were locked before leaving."

Speaking of this, Double Happiness also stood beside Pearl and nodded in agreement.

"Yesterday Miss poured medicine, and the fever has slowly subsided, but the slave maid has always been suspicious of Miss's evil spirit, and as a result, when she opened the window to ventilate during the day, she found these traces, and she did not follow Miss's order last night to go back to the house to rest. Who knew that in the second half of the night, there were really thieves who secretly used silver hairpins to unlock the windows, and only then did they catch assassins. ”

At this moment, everyone understands that this is taking advantage of people's danger.

Everyone's eyes swept to Chen Peiwen who was kneeling, those eyes were like knives, Chen Peiwen looked up at Tong Qingyan with an angry face.

"What proof do you have that says it's me?! slander me without any evidence, you are going to slap the palace in the face! ”

Tong Qingyan drank a glass of honey water, licked her lips, and looked at Chen Peiwen with an innocent face.

"Which ear did Miss Chen hear me say that you are the thief? I still wonder why you are kneeling here, could it be that Miss Chen knows that thief? ”

"I didn't!"

"Then you stand up, kneeling like a prisoner, I don't know and think I did something to you, I didn't say that you were the one who hurt me, don't be in a hurry to get into the right seat."

"You ......"

Chen Peiwen stood up suddenly, and pointed her finger directly at Tong Qingyan, who was sitting lazily in the armchair, and the posture that was eager to poke the blind made Song Zhan's eyes suddenly cold.

"Wen girl, have you forgotten the rules you learned!"

"Auntie......"

"Huh?"

"The king... Princess, she was the one who slandered me first. ”

Chen Peiwen was glared at by Chen Yan and changed her words, but she also knew that if she didn't follow the rules again, she would really be sent back to Hecheng, and her mother would be angry to death.

"I slander you?! I didn't say a word from beginning to end, but you looked like you had seen a ghost. ”

"It's clear that you deliberately pretended to be a ghost to scare me, and you didn't pretend to be a ghost to scare people."

Princess Huai nodded in agreement, Chen Peiwen yelled just now, but she was actually startled, but she was only cultivating there, so she couldn't help but shout.

"No one said I was dead from beginning to end, so why were you so frightened when I appeared, as if you knew I was dead."

Tong Qingyan looked at Chen Peiwen who was speechless calmly, and then looked at Princess Huai, who was also in deep thought, Tong Qingyan felt that she could praise her mother's acting skills, crying so sadly, even her father was bluffed.

"Your mother cried like that, and you let people lie on the bed with a white veil and pretend to be dead, everyone will think that you are dead, I will think that there is something strange, you suddenly appeared behind me, of course I feel scary."

Wen Lan looked at Chen Peiwen, who was still arguing with the Tong family, and sneered.

"I'm crying because my daughter doesn't go out of the door, and now as a girl to be drafted, she is assassinated, I didn't say what's wrong with my daughter, Pearl pretending to be a dead person is just thinking about a fraud, maybe someone will be a thief and show her feet, Miss Chen has an opinion?"

"This silver hairpin has no mark, and if you don't recognize it, I can't help you. But the scars of being injured by the guards can't be covered up for a while, so I'll ask you to meet someone later, and there is still some time, you can think about the excuses. ”

When she heard Tong Qingyan's confident words, Chen Peiwen's eyes began to dodge a little, and this look fell in the eyes of everyone.

"You don't bother me, what scars, what people, I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Miss, someone brought it."

Just when Chen Peiwen pretended to be calm, Wen Qi, who had changed her appearance, appeared behind the crowd with an embarrassed maid with one hand.

When everyone heard the sound, they turned around, and when they saw the situation, they consciously separated the two sides and made way out, and Wen Qi carried the still struggling maid into the wing.

"Miss......"

The maid who was brought in by Wen Qi was Chen Peiwen's personal maid Cuixiang, and at this moment, Cuixiang's right sleeve was torn off, revealing a dark purple bruise on her arm.

"Miss Chen, you know this person, I have to trouble you to explain why your maidservant wants to harm me."

Chen Peiwen looked at Cuixiang, who was firmly restrained by Wen Qi, raised her head and cried to Chen Yan who was full of disappointment.

"Niangniang, I'm wronged, I don't know why Cuixiang is so harmful, I really don't know......"

Chen Yan now regrets that she wants to take Chen Peiwen into Beijing with her, she should have let her stay in the Chen family, wait for the eldest brother and sister-in-law to settle the affairs of the Chen family, and then come to the capital together.

Tong Huaiyuan glanced at the princess, who was obviously reluctant to speak, and the prince, who had been holding his hands and not speaking, stroked his beard and stood up.

"I don't know how the little girl offended you and wanted to put my son to death like this?"

Chen Peiwen faced Tong Huaiyuan, who had an official position, and couldn't get up at all in terms of momentum, and wanted to say that she didn't have it.

"Lord Qiyu, my young lady is wronged."

Su Yun stood on the periphery of the crowd and pleaded loudly, and the crowd parted again.

Tong Qingyan looked at Su Yun who walked into the room, as well as Chen Peiwen, who was obviously excited after Su Yun appeared, and the maid with a desperate face, and sighed softly, it seems that the truth can only end here.

"You said that your young lady was wronged, what evidence is there, now the stolen goods are all pointed to your young lady."

Tong Huaiyuan looked at Su Yun with his head hanging indifferently, he has been an official for many years, and this servant girl is not simple at first glance, but she is still unwilling to let it go so easily.

"If you go back to your lordship, these days, my young lady can only go out of the wing room to ask the princess for peace, and she has never set foot in other places, and there are slaves and maids who are on duty at night when she sleeps, and the slaves and maids can testify that the young lady has never gone out."

"The official didn't say that your young lady committed the crime."

"The slave maid knows that the adults think that it was my young lady who instructed this cheap maid to assassinate Miss Tong San, but in fact, my young lady was wronged. This hairpin is Miss's old thing, but Miss doesn't use this old silver hairpin at all now, so it was lost and not found in time, Cuixiang was already in charge of Miss's makeup, and it was easy to steal the silver hairpin. ”

Chen Peiwen just wanted to respond to Suyun's words, but was stopped by the wind in her eyes.

"My young lady and Miss Tong San have no grievances, how can you think of harming her, the slave maid has not read for a few years, but she also knows that crime pays attention to motives, and my young lady has no motive."

"According to what you say, this maid of Wen Yatou has a motive?"

found that things had taken a turn for the better, Chen Yan was still very happy, after all, she was her own niece, and it was best if she was wronged, otherwise it would take some effort to protect her.

That's right, before Su Yun appeared, Chen Yan didn't think about really giving up Chen Peiwen, after all, she was her own niece, and she couldn't explain to her eldest brother and sister-in-law if something happened.

So even if it was really Chen Peiwen who instructed someone to do it, Chen Yan thought that there was no real death now anyway, and it was a big deal that the palace would put pressure on Tong Fu to recognize Cuixiang as a substitute for the dead.

Now that Su Yun's appearance has actually turned things around, Chen Yan's mood has become better.

"Back to the princess, this Cuixiang had an argument with Miss Tong San's maid in the kitchen before, and many people testified."

"Really?"

Tong Huaiyuan looked at Pearl and Double Happiness, the two glanced at each other, and both nodded.

"Back to the master, the previous lady was seasick and vomited badly, and wanted to drink orange water, and when the slave went to the kitchen, she happened to meet this Cuixiang in the kitchen, because of the use of the stove, there was some dispute, and then the slave and maid gave it to her, and it was orange water that was boiled on the small stove in the room."

"Just because of this, you want to harm the official's daughter?"

Cuixiang knew that she could not escape death, and lowered her head and said the reason for the harm in a calm tone.

"At that time, the slave maid went to the kitchen to urge the young lady's bird's nest porridge, and saw that as soon as she entered the kitchen, she began to use the stove to talk to herself, and the slave and maid suspected that she occupied the stove of the young lady's bird's nest porridge, and she theorized that she came first and then came, so there was a dispute, and then the slave and the maid were angry, so they wanted to give Miss Tong San some hardship."

Speaking of this, Cui Xiang stopped talking, looking like she wanted to kill and listen to Zun Yi, Tong Huaiyuan knew that he couldn't ask anything anymore, so he arched his hand at Song Zhan.

"His Royal Highness the prince, since it has been revealed, this maid is also a member of the palace, and the lower officials have no right to send it, so please ask the prince to give the lower official's daughter justice."

Song Zhan, who had never said much, stood up at this moment, glanced coldly at Chen Peiwen's master and servant, and slowly spoke.

"Now that you have confessed your guilt, let's do it according to the rules of the palace, Su Yu ......"

"Slow ......down," Tong Qingyan stood up with the handrail and looked at Song Zhan calmly, "Since this maid admits to harming the people's daughter because of her personal anger, then as a victim, the people's daughter begs His Royal Highness the Prince to hand over this woman to the people's daughter, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Prince can agree?" ”

"A cheap maid who doesn't know the depths, my palace can't accommodate such a person, since Miss Tong San wants to deal with it personally, then it's up to you."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

A few words were handed over to this young lady who looked soft and weak, and Cuixiang couldn't help but feel a trace of hope, feeling that she had a little possibility to live.

When Su Yun made such a request from Tong Qingyan, she looked at her with complicated eyes, and then lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.

The moment Chen Peiwen confessed to Cuixiang, her whole person relaxed.

Even if Tong Qingyan opened her mouth to leave Cuixiang, she didn't react, she was still immersed in the happiness of the rest of her life after the catastrophe, and she didn't have any extra brains to think about the deep meaning of Tong Qingyan wanting to leave Cuixiang.

Wen Lan had been staring at Wen Qi since he entered the room, and even though Wen Qi was shrinking to the side and trying to reduce his presence, Wen Lan's gaze never looked away.

This little rabbit cub actually ran away from home?! Or mixed into the pile of people in the Tong Mansion, see how the old lady will clean you up later!
