The east wind and the spring river water in March, only the peach blossoms are seen.

In the spring of Shengjing City, there has always been more rain and less sunshine, and it is rare to see the sun for a few days. Fortunately, the rain is not heavy, fine and dense, such as ox hair silver needles, carrying the river outside the city, dyeing the willows, peach blossoms outside the fence, messing up the city.

On the third day of the first month of March, it was still a drizzly weather. Located in the eastern suburbs of Shengjing City, the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion - Wuling Villa, held a grand spring banquet, all the people in the capital were invited, and the guests were like clouds for a while, and it was very lively.

Speaking of which, the reason why Wuling Bizhuang got its name is because there is a huge peach forest in the village. At this time, when the flowers are in time, the breeze sweeps, the chaos is like rain, and many fine petals fall on the bluestone road under the tree, which are swept by the wind and carried by the rain, and in the end, they are scattered into mud and turned into fragrant dust on the soles of boots.

It's just that such a charming and romantic beauty, in Chen Lu's eyes, there is no longer poetic and picturesque, only irony and desolation remain.

She looked at Luoying flying outside the window in a daze, and her heart was bitter.

How dazzling she was before, how embarrassed she is now.

"I'll say it again, I didn't take the jade pei!" Her lips trembled, her mouth opened, her voice slightly harsh with anger.

It's quiet.

There was no one to defend her, no one to stand up for her, only the continuous raindrops hitting the eaves and making a lonely sound.

The door of the flower hall facing the side of the water pavilion had all closed at this time, separating the music of the people on the stage. And the girls from all over the country, who were supposed to sit and listen to the play, almost all left their seats at this time, and formed an irregular circle in the hall, leaving an open space about a foot in the middle.

Chen Yi stood in the center of the clearing, his eyes red, but he stubbornly held his head high and did not look at the person opposite.

"Tut-tut, Chen Lu, Chen Lu, you are still a girl in the Guogong Mansion, what kind of jade is not jade, it's not a joke." Guo Yuan, the lord of Xiangshan County, sat leisurely behind a small round table, his arm on the back of the chair, his fingers dyed with dancome knocked on the chair again and again, his apricot eyes were half-squinted, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and his chin was slightly raised, with a natural arrogance.

As the only daughter of the eldest princess of Yongning, Guo Yuan made an exception at the age of eight and was named the county lord, and now she is over fourteen years old, and she is bright and moving.

Xu is to show her extraordinary, she wore a water red woven gold thread color weft peony skirt today, the long skirt is piled up at the feet, like a red cloud, the head is combed with a fairy bun, inserted a gold silk dotted cuifeng hairpin, the pearl on the hairpin head is the size of a thumb, the brilliance is shining, more and more lined with her eyes with water apricots, lips like Dan, there is a momentum of not angry and self-prestigious.

"Miss Chen, don't blame me for not telling you, what you stole was the most precious 'Nine-Ring Cockroach' in the palace, which was given to me by the emperor's mother, but now you have broken it in half, how do you want me to explain it to her old man?" Guo Yuan's face was calm, her hair was swaying, and the treasure light was burning, but her eyes couldn't be brightened.

There was no sound in the flower hall, but everyone's faces were different.

Wuling Beizhuang has been in the village for several years, and it is not until today that the Marquis of Zhenyuan held a spring banquet on Zhuangzi for the first time. But who would have thought that such a big scandal would occur at the banquet?

The most prominent concubine of the Chengguo Mansion actually stole the jade pei of the county lord of Xiangshan County, which is unimaginable.

What's worse is that all the ladies and wives, including the eldest princess of Yongning, all went to the "Wulingyuan" lake by painting boat more than an hour ago, and the flower hall was full of girls who had not left the cabinet, and there was not even an elder who presided over the overall situation.

It is difficult to predict how this matter will end.

Everyone invariably turned their attention to another noble girl, Gu Nan.

Gu Nan is the daughter of Gu Shan, the son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and she is the master of the Hou Mansion banquet this time. Now that this has happened, she, the master, has no reason to stay out of the matter, and she always has to come forward to turn around.

It's just that Gu Nan was embarrassed at this time, standing between the county lord of Xiangshan and Chen Lu with a handkerchief, wanting to come forward to persuade him, but he felt that it was difficult to speak.

On the one hand, it is the eldest granddaughter of the Guogong Mansion, and on the other hand, it is the daughter of the eldest princess, which is not easy to offend, if they say something wrong, they will also take the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion into it, and it will be worth the loss.

"Look at you, a good spring banquet, but you made it like this, don't you feel ashamed?" Guo Yuan changed his sitting posture for a long time, and his face was still cold.

Chen Yi raised his head and looked out the window, only to feel dizzy and dizzy, and his legs were floating straight. 's back, which is usually very straight, is like pressing a thousand pounds of boulder at the moment, making it difficult for her to breathe.

How could she possibly steal any nine-ringed mantis?

Her eyelids are so shallow?

Thinking that she Chen Yi is the daughter of the prince of Chengguo, her mother Xu is from the famous Qing noble family Xu family, her maternal grandfather Xu Shenguan is the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and her maternal grandfather Xu Wei is a bachelor, both of them have the possibility of entering the cabinet.

In terms of background, she Chen Lu is rare and noble, and in terms of appearance and talent, she is a leader in the capital, on a par with Guo Yuan, who is also in the limelight.

Is she guilty of doing such a self-inferior?

"I didn't take the Nine-Ring Cockroach, I haven't done it or I haven't done it." Chen Yi tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and an abnormal flush swelled up on his pale face, and his originally beautiful face showed a slight distortion because of this.

She felt extremely humiliated, but at the same time, her heart was chilling.

It was all too coincidental.

Whether it is the timing of the incident, or the so-called human and physical evidence put forward by Guo Yuan, or thinking about the cause and effect in combination with the cause and effect, there is no flaw in the other party's evidence.

In addition to refusing to admit it, Chen Yi had nothing to do.

"You said you didn't take it, but someone saw you stealing and throwing jade, didn't you also hear the words of the witness?" Guo Yuan was not in a hurry at all, looking at Chen Lu's eyes were incomparably sharp, like a hunter looking at his prey.

"That little girl is full of nonsense, and she is clearly wronged!" Chen Yi flicked his sleeves vigorously and looked angrily at the person kneeling in front of the round table.

It was a little maid wearing a royal blue tooth-pinching vest, just over ten years old, with her head bowed and her shoulders shrunk, looking very weak.

It was her, and she insisted that she saw Chen Yi stealing the jade with her own eyes, and said that she followed her to the clean room, and saw her break the jade pei in the clean room. If it weren't for her evidence, Guo Yuan wouldn't have had such a big confidence, and she shook things out in public.
