Chapter 8: Seeking Innocence
"I don't know if it's herself, but this matter has nothing to do with me, I'm innocent."
Xiao Ruoxi looked at the sarcasm on Chu Xiuhan's face and felt irritated inexplicably, what she hated most in her life was being framed by others.
Before, if she hadn't been framed by her peers, she wouldn't have been locked up by her superiors, if she hadn't been locked up, she wouldn't have encountered that explosion, and she wouldn't have appeared in this world. This is another frame-up.
Similarly, if the second miss of the Xiao family had not been framed, she would not have lost her life, it seems that someone deliberately wanted to kill her.
"How can the princess conclude that this matter has nothing to do with you?"
Seeing Xiao Ruoxi so stubbornly wanting to prove his innocence, Chu Xiuhan was very surprised, in the past, Xiao Ruoxi, if she felt that she had been wronged, she would only cry, make trouble and hang herself, but now, she was talking calmly with him in front of him, and she didn't cry or make trouble.
Xiao Ruoxi paced to Chu Xiuhan's desk, propped his hands on the desk, looked at Chu Xiuhan condescendingly, and said in a very firm tone:
"Give me five days, and I'll get to the bottom of it."
Chu Xiuhan looked up at the full confidence in Xiao Ruoxi's eyes, and was a little confused for a while, is this still the second miss of the Xiao family who is useless, or his princess? Why did he feel that the person in front of him was not his princess, but someone else, but the facts were in front of him, she was indeed Xiao Ruoxi.
"Okay, this king promises you, Limo, and orders to go down, and within these five days, the princess can move freely in the palace, and no one is allowed to interfere."
Chu Xiuhan agreed, and immediately ordered Limo Dao, he wanted to see what Xiao Ruoxi could find out.
"Yes, my subordinates obey!"
A person came out of nowhere, which scared Xiao Ruoxi, and sure enough, the plot is similar to the plot in the TV series, these palace nobles like to keep some secret guards by their side, and they come out from time to time to scare people.
"Hey...... Wait a minute. ”
Seeing that Limo was about to leave, Xiao Ruoxi suddenly stopped him.
"I wonder what else is going on with the princess?"
Limo turned around and said to Xiao Ruoxi very respectfully.
"Only move freely in the house, the scope is too small, you go and say hello to the gatekeeper, if I want to go out of the house, they are not allowed to stop, and when I want to use people these days, everyone must unconditionally obey my arrangement."
Xiao Ruoxi said his request very clearly.
"This ......"
Limo looked at Xiao Ruoxi with some embarrassment, and then turned his gaze to Chu Xiuhan on the side.
"Yes."
The thin lips are lightly opened, and the two words are neatly highlighted.
"Yes."
Limo received the order, so he left the study and went down to make arrangements.
Looking at the back of Limo leaving, Xiao Ruoxi looked thoughtful.
"What is the princess thinking?"
As if seeing through Xiao Ruoxi's thoughts, Chu Xiuhan asked with a smile.
"I wonder when I can have such a subordinate who absolutely obeys my orders."
Hearing Chu Xiuhan's question, Xiao Ruoxi said without thinking about it.
"Oh? Why don't you send the ink to you? ”
Chu Xiuhan said with a smile.
"Forget it, you might as well keep it for yourself!"
Xiao Ruoxi turned his head and said disdainfully to Chu Xiuhan, things like henchmen have always been more credible than those cultivated by themselves, as for those given by others, forget it! That would certainly not be loyal to her.
"Lord Wang, if there is nothing else, I will go back to my Jinlan Yuan to deal with my affairs."
Now that Xiao Ruoxi's goal has been achieved, there is no need to stay here any longer, although Chu Xiuhan's beauty in the prosperous world is indeed good-looking, but no one will be interested in an iceberg face.
"Well, the princess remembers to give an explanation to the king in five days, if not, the consequences will ...... I'm afraid the princess can't afford it. ”
Before Xiao Ruoxi left, Chu Xiuhan didn't forget to threaten her.
"Cut."
Xiao Ruoxi snorted lightly, and left Chu Xiuhan's study without looking back.
"Lianxiang, you take me to listen to the rain pavilion, and take a look at the place where the snow and smoke fell into the water."
Out of the study, Xiao Ruoxi did not go back to her residence, and immediately asked Lian Xiang to take her to the scene of the first crime.
"Yes."
Seeing that Xiao Ruoxi was going to listen to the Rain Pavilion, Lian Xiang didn't ask much, and immediately led the way for Xiao Ruoxi in front, since Xiao Ruoxi came out of the dungeon this time, she has become very assertive in doing things, Lian Xiang knows that Miss is no longer the young lady who can only cry and make a fuss when she is wronged, and the current young lady will never allow herself to be wronged at all, just take the incident in Qingge Yuan just now, it is a good example.
"Miss has arrived, this is it, and it is here that Mrs. Xueyan fell into the water."
Lian Xiang took Xiao Ruoxi to a pavilion and pointed to a corner of the pavilion and said to Xiao Ruoxi.
Xiao Ruoxi took a closer look at this place, the boxy pavilion is located in the middle of the water, to say that Xueyan was pushed into the water by the second miss of the Xiao family in this place, Xiao Ruoxi really didn't believe it.
First of all, the safety protection of this pavilion is very good, the guardrail is at least half the waist of ordinary people, and with the pampered posture of the second lady of the Xiao family, it is really impossible to push a lively person out of such a high guardrail.
Moreover, Xiao Ruoxi looked back at the road, outside the winding corridor, there was a rockery, coincidentally, this pavilion was just covered tightly, at that time, Xueyan was holding back all the maids, if she jumped into the water by herself at this time.
This sudden change must have been too late to stop the second miss of the Xiao family, and there were only two people in the pavilion at that time, the second miss of the Xiao family and Xueyan, so this basin of dirty water was naturally splashed on the second miss of the Xiao family.
In these palaces and noble mansions with groups of wives and concubines, it is common for women to use some small tricks to frame others in order to compete for favor.
But what made Xiao Ruoxi puzzled was that Xueyan knew that she was pregnant, why did she do such a stupid thing? Isn't it that she doesn't like that kid at all?
But in an instant, Xiao Ruoxi shook her head and denied this cognition, from her reaction when she just went to Qingge Garden to see Xue Yan, she lost her child, Xue Yan was really sad, like that, it didn't look like she was pretending.
But if Xue Yan knew that she would miscarry if she fell into the water, then she would definitely not jump off by herself, mothers are expensive by children, and even those wealthy families in the 21st century pay attention to such a truth, not to mention that in this era of male superiority and inferiority, it is impossible for Xue Yan not to understand this truth.
"Lianxiang, Xueyan was a few months pregnant when she fell into the water?"
Xiao Ruoxi suddenly turned around and asked Lianxiang.
