When Xiuzhu heard Ji Yueqin calling him, he immediately stepped forward and saluted Chu Huai, and after standing upright, he said loudly to someone who was neither humble nor arrogant: "Lord Chu, the slave will tell you why you want to pull Cai Ju to be punished with a cane." ”

"Yesterday, the slave maid was ordered by the county lord of Anning to escort Miss Qingtang back to Chu Mansion, and she didn't see Miss Qingtang's personal maid Caiwei." Xiuzhu glanced at Ji Yueqin, and then stopped exporting.

Ji Yueqin didn't wait for Chu Huai to speak up, and said loudly: "I don't know what Cai Ju saw Cai Wei by Qingtang's side to watch the wind for Qingtang, how to explain it?" ”

Ji Yueqin just looked at Cai Ju coldly, her thin but straight body highlighted her momentum even more.

Cai Ju was stunned for a moment when she heard Xiuzhu's words, and looked at Chu Xiangyue for help.

Chu Xiangyue secretly scolded Cai Ju in her heart for being useless, so she had to stand up and help Cai Ju defend: "Just based on Aunt Xiuzhu's words, we can't explain anything, maybe Cai Ju is dazzled, and Aunt Xiuzhu is Cai Wei?" ”

Cai Ju listened to Chu Xiangyue help her speak, and hurriedly said, "Yes...... Right! Cai Ju was dazzled for a while, and mistakenly took Aunt Xiuzhu for Cai Wei! ”

Ji Yueqin looked at Chu Xiangyue with a cold gaze, thinking that this woman was really not simple, and she overturned what Xiuzhu said with just a few words.

She said coldly: "Second Miss Chu really cherishes her subordinates. Aunt Xiuzhu continued. ”

Xiuzhu nodded and continued: "On the way back to the house with Miss Qingtang yesterday, I did meet the prince of the Wang family. But the slave maid got out of the car with Miss Qingtang just to greet Wang Gongzi, and then got in the car and left. The slave maid sent Miss Qingtang to the front of the house and returned to the palace to resume her life. ”

"According to Aunt Xiuzhu's words, shouldn't this slave and maid who talk nonsense be dragged down to the staff? Lord Chu. Ji Yueqin sneered and looked at everyone in the hall.

"And Aunt Qian just listened to the words of a girl, so she tortured the concubine in the house, is Lord Chu really favored his aunt and ignored his own daughter?"

The atmosphere was a little heavy, and the Qian family who was kneeling on the ground was like an eggplant beaten by frost, sitting in place. And Chu Huaizhi, who was in the upper seat, had a blue face, and if he looked carefully, he would see the green tendons on Chu Huaizhi's forehead.

Seeing this, Nan Xuanyu hurriedly came out to relieve the siege and said, "Sister Yue, this is a matter of Lord Chu's family, don't say more." ”

Ji Yueqin smiled sweetly at Nan Xuanyu and said softly: "I don't see that Lord Chu is partial to my aunt, regardless of Qingtang." I really can't stand it, if it is known by others, I don't know how to say Lord Chu, I am thinking about Lord Chu's face, so I said a few more words. ”

Okay, Chu Huai heard Ji Yueqin say this, and he was even more angry, this county lord of Anning made it clear that he wanted to go out for Chu Qingtang, but the county lord kept saying that it was for his own good, and he was not a dumb person who ate Coptis chinensis and said that he was suffering!

Not only could he not deny it, but he also had to smile at Ji Yueqin and said, "That is the case, Weichen has to thank the county lord of Anning." ”

Ji Yueqin waved her hand and said softly: "Lord Chu has done his best for Dayu, and peace is just to share the worries of adults." ”

Chu Huai smiled straightforwardly, and said majestically: "Cai Ju, what do you have to say?" ”

Cai Ju's face turned pale in an instant, she didn't dare to get up, she could only kneel and rush over to grab Chu Xiangyue's skirt, and shouted, "Miss, save me!" Miss! ”

Chu Xiangyue's face did not change, and she glanced at Cai Ju with some disgust, afraid that Cai Ju would say something unfavorable to the Qian family, so she had to say to Chu Huaizhi: "Father, since this Diao slave slandered his sister, he will be punished." ”

Cai Ju heard Chu Xiangyue say this, her face changed greatly, and she shouted: "Second Miss, it's obviously -"

"Enough! Someone will pull me down this cheap maid who picks chrysanthemums! Fifty rods were reprimanded, and he was thrown out of the house. Chu Huaizhi didn't say much to Cai Ju, so he asked someone to drag Cai Ju down.

Cai Ju's voice became poignant, and she shouted at Chu Xiangyue, "Second Miss! Help me! You promised me! If you slander the eldest lady, you will give me fifty taels of silver to return to my hometown! Second Miss, save me......"

Chu Xiangyue didn't panic when she heard Cai Ju's defection, but cried: "You Diao slave, don't say anything about slandering your sister, and now you still want to slander me." Woo——, I have a deep sisterhood with my sister, how can I let you be a slave and separate our sisters......"

The more Chu Xiangyue spoke, the more sad she became, and her tears kept rolling down as if she didn't want money.

Ji Yueqin saw it in her eyes but didn't make a sound, just held Chu Qingtang tightly and didn't make a sound.

Chu Qingtang was already a little unsteady, but when he saw Ji Yueqin in a few words, he washed away his unruly remarks, and looked at Ji Yueqin with some gratitude. Because of the warmth from the palm of his hand, Chu Qingtang felt at ease.

"Why don't you drag people down quickly, and let her continue to be in front of the prince and the county lord!" Chu Huai saw that those family members were moving slowly, so he shouted.

"Sir! That's not the way it is! It's all Aunt Qian who called the slave maid to slander the eldest lady......" Caiju's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it was inaudible.

"Since the truth is revealed, after Qingtang is well, Lord Chu will let Qingtang go to Taixue. The rest of the things are not easy to meddle in, and how to deal with Aunt Qian is an adult's business. It's not too early, and the lord of this county is going back to the palace with the prince's brother. ”

Ji Yueqin saw that Chu Qingtang's innocence was returned, and she knew that if she continued to interfere, Chu Huaizhi might do what she thought, but I was afraid that the effect would be a little worse.

Although Chu Huaizhi respects herself on the surface, she also understands that this is partly because of Nan Xuanyu, so she can't go too far, and she still has to leave some thin noodles for Chu Huaizhi.

"Weichen thanks the county lord, and the minister will send His Royal Highness the prince and the county lord." Chu Huai saw that the county lord of Anning, who had come to make trouble, was finally leaving, and his heart was relieved, and he wanted to send him away like a plague god.

"Stay and take care of the housework. This palace and the moon sister can leave on their own. Nan Xuanyu looked at Chu Huaizhi with a smile.

Chu Huai saluted directly towards Nan Xuanyu and said modestly: "Then Weichen won't send much." ”

Ji Yueqin let go of Chu Qingtang's hand, smiled at Chu Qingtang and said: "Qingtang, take care of it, if you go back to Taixue and still look at you like this, the county lord will punish you." ”

"Yes, my good lord." Chu Qingtang said with a smile on his pale face.

"Okay, I'm leaving, you can take care of yourself, and I'll tell the emperor's uncle to come and see you when I have time."

Ji Yueqin's words were not only for Chu Qingtang, but also for everyone present, telling them that Chu Qingtang had his own backing behind him.

Chu Qingtang nodded gratefully, she understood that Ji Yueqin's words were for herself, no matter what, she was grateful and respected Ji Yueqin in her heart.

What Ji Yueqin did today was all for her, and she also understood that Ji Yueqin couldn't help herself all the time, and more, she needed to bring down Aunt Qian by herself!

This incident can only rub Aunt Qian's sharpness, thinking about her father's love for Aunt Qian, I am afraid that Aunt Qian will not be punished by her father this time, at most she will only be taught a lesson.

Because of her weakness, all her mother's land and property were taken by her as her own, and she was often beaten when she was hungry and full.

If it weren't for Ji Yueqin, I'm afraid her future life would only get better and better, she couldn't always rely on Ji Yueqin, she also had to be strong and take back everything that belonged to her from the hands of the Qian family.

Here Ji Yueqin and Nan Xuanyu left the Chu Mansion, Chu Huaizhi sat on the top with a dark expression, and after being silent for a while, he looked at the Qian family who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "This time, what you did was really excessive, you brushed my face in front of the prince and the county lord, and I was grounded for three months to reflect on it." ”

When the Qian family heard that he was going to be grounded, he gritted his teeth at Chu Qingtang, but he didn't dare to resist Chu Huai's words, so he had to cry: "Master, the concubine knows that she is wrong, and the concubine will definitely reflect on it." ”

"Xiangyue, you take a good look at your aunt, don't make such a mess every day to annoy me." Chu Huai looked directly at Chu Xiangyue in front of him and said, "You go down with your aunt first, I have something to say to your sister." ”

After hearing this, Chu Xiangyue had to ask someone to help Qian up, and then said straight to Chu Huai: "Xiangyue retires." ”

Chu Huai looked directly at Chu Xiangyue in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and Chu Xiangyue left with the Qian family.

Chu Huai looked directly at Chu Qingtang who was below, and saw that although her face was pale, she already had a faint appearance of beauty, and within a few years, she would become more generous and generous. Her steps were a little vain, as if a gust of wind could knock her down.

"Qingtang, sit down first." Chu Huaizhi's voice slowed down a little, and he was no longer as stern as before.

When Chu Qingtang heard this, he sat down, looked at Chu Huaizhi and said softly: "What does my father want to explain to Qingtang?" ”

Chu Huai saw Chu Qingtang's detached tone, and also knew that he had neglected this daughter on weekdays, so he sighed and said: "It's nothing, I just want to tell you, getting acquainted with the county lord means that you will often appear in front of the royal nobles in the future, you have to be polite, don't embarrass the Chu Mansion, be careful." ”

Chu Qingtang was stunned, she didn't expect Chu Huaizhi to say such things to her, in her impression, Chu Huaizhi has always been that majestic and unsmiling appearance, and she can't even see a few times in a busy year.

Since his mother left, his father's heart gradually favored Qian's mother and daughter, and then he began to go hungry, and even the people in his courtyard left one by one, and finally only Cai Wei was left alone.

This is the first time that Chu Huaizhi has cared for himself since his mother's death, so Chu Qingtang will react like this.

Chu Huai saw that Chu Qingtang did not react, and called Chu Qingtang gently, and Chu Qingtang came back to his senses: "Knowing my father, Qingtang understands." ”

Chu Huai nodded straight, and when he saw Chu Qingtang's weak appearance, he asked someone to send Chu Qingtang back to the courtyard, and sent someone to send food and clothing supplies.

As soon as the person left, he remembered the whip marks on Chu Qingtang's body again, so he asked someone to send some wound medicine.
