80. The thief's heart does not change

"I don't know" Chu Jiaoren shook her head, biting her lip, tears glistened in her eyes, the old lady was trembling while secretly observing the Queen Mother's expression, the Queen Mother's questioning eyes glanced at Chu Jiaoren intentionally or unintentionally, but the Queen Mother died and wanted to kill Duan Rufang, but she still didn't give up

"No matter how much you quibble, you can't find actual evidence, just like you said, there is no evidence, how can you prove that it was indeed Miss Chu who harmed you?"

"This is actually not difficult" Duan Rubian smiled gloomily, and glanced at the old lady and the maid kneeling on the ground, "If it is really Chu Jiaoren who harmed me and Miss Jiang, then this maid must have had some deal with her, and the old lady who lost the paper group must have received benefits, I heard that the people of Dali Temple have a method of arraignment of prisoners, and it must be a result in a few days after handing it over."

Chu Jiaoren snorted coldly, "Miss Duan, you can't prove that I hurt you now, besides, I was wronged, how could the queen mother listen to you!"

The little maid and the old lady breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, Chu Jiaoren was actually not worried about Dali Temple, she was worried about her uncle Gu Shen, that old stubborn would never help her, if he kicked the door, he would never have a chance to return, only to hold the queen tightly at this moment is the best policy.

The Queen Mother pondered the note in her hand repeatedly, thought carefully about the whole thing, and raised a smile, "The mourning family sees that this matter is not so troublesome"

Everyone was suspicious, but when they saw the queen mother waving her hand and beckoning a father-in-law, she whispered a few words, and the father-in-law quickly walked away, Duan Rubian quietly lowered his eyebrows and thought about things, but Chu Jiaoren frowned uneasily.

Not long after, the father-in-law led a middle-aged man in an official uniform to come over, and Chu Jiang knelt respectfully, "Minister, see the Queen Mother"

Chu Jiaoren's face turned pale, she should have thought that the Queen Mother would find her father, the Queen Mother said a flat word, ordered someone to hand the note to Chu Jiang, and the smile on her face was bright, "Lord Chu, take a closer look, you really raised a smart daughter, this poem is deep in my heart"

The maid understood, and only showed Chu Jiang the page of the inscription, Chu Jiang finished reading, and proudly leaned over to thank him, "The praise of the Queen Mother is the blessing of my family."

"Lord Chu, can you see clearly?" the queen narrowed her eyes, "Is this really your daughter's handwriting?"

Chu Jiang didn't know why, looked at it carefully, and nodded, "This is indeed my family's delicate pen ......"

"Daddy! don't say it!" Chu Jiaoren hurriedly ran to Chu Jiang's side, beads of sweat the size of a bean grain on her forehead slipped down, and the little maid not far away rolled her eyes, knelt down to the feet of the Queen Mother, and cried loudly, "The Queen Mother spares her life, this is all instructed by my young lady, and it has nothing to do with slaves!"

The Queen Mother glared angrily, kicked away, and was extremely disgusted, "Drag her down for me, pull out her tongue, see if she dares to speak casually in the future!"

The old lady ran away, but she didn't go out a few steps before she fell into the pond, and half of her life was gone, the queen mother saw that she was going to run, she was even more angry, and directly dragged her out and cut her, the banquet was silent, everyone didn't dare to speak, the queen mother calmed down and stared at Chu Jiaoren coldly

"As the daughter of a minister, it seems that Lord Chu is to blame for doing such a thing that does not abide by women's morals!"

Chu Jiang sighed, he was not a fool, he could see at a glance that something was wrong with Chu Jiaoren, the Queen Mother was really angry, and he had nothing to say, only nodded slightly, "The courtier doesn't know anything, it's the minister's fault, and she is willing to listen to the Queen Mother's fate."

The Queen Mother tidied up her sleeves, and her voice was faint: "You are the emperor's right-hand man, if the mourning family kills you, the emperor will not agree, but your daughter did such a thing at the mourning family banquet, and the mourning family cannot forgive!"

The Queen Mother paused for a while, looked at Chu Jiaoren who collapsed on the ground, and said lightly, "Princess Pingjin just died, and there is still a lack of a guardian, Princess Pingjin had the best relationship with the daughter of the mourning family during her lifetime, since you plagiarized her poems this time, you should make amends to her"

The guardians have been with the dead since ancient times, and to put it bluntly, they will die the same, not to mention the imperial mausoleum, which will definitely not last for three days, Chu Jiang's heart throbbed, and he couldn't bear to look at Chu Jiaoren, and his voice trembled...... Don't thank you yet......"

Chu Jiaoren's eyes widened, and she grabbed Chu Jiang's sleeve, "Thank you, Daddy, the spirit is death, I don't want to die yet, you save me! You save me!"

Chu Jiang was ruthless, slapped Chu Jiaoren in the face, and scolded loudly: "You are the one who caused the disaster! Now that I think of it, I am afraid of death? The Queen Mother has been gracious, how did my father teach you in the first place? Kneel down and thank you!"

Chu Jiaoren touched the beaten cheek, her eyes flashed, and she looked incredulous...... Father...... You...... You're ......"

Chu Jiaoren only felt a throbbing pain in her chest, and tears burst into her eyes: "No! I won't do that! It's just a poem! I won't lose my youth in the future! If you don't save me, okay! Then I don't want you to save me!"

Chu Jiaoren looked around the scene, her eyes suddenly fixed on Jiang Chengyue, who looked weak, and stepped forward with an arrow, she took out the dagger in her sleeve and put it on Jiang Chengyue's neck, her eyes were indifferent, "You'd better not act rashly, I can't live, and I have to pull a cushion for myself!"

The queen twisted her eyebrows, and drank back from the guards who wanted to come forward, but the queen was expressionless, not knowing what she was thinking, Duan Rubian quietly retreated, ripped off the pearl decorated on her waist and held it in her hand, ready to go, Chu Jiaoren raised her neck and laughed

"You're all scared, hahaha, don't come here, or I'll do it!" Chu Jiaoren made a gesture of wiping his neck, laughing madly, Jiang Chengyue made a frightened look, but his eyes never left Duan Rufang for a moment, Chu Jiaoren held Jiang Chengyue hostage and retreated, but stopped the moment he saw Duan Rufang, and a cruel smile appeared on his face

She raised her hand and pointed at Duan Rubian, raising her eyebrows, "I'll give you a choice, if you don't want Jiang Chengyue to die, kill her!"

Duan Rubian's eyes jumped, her heart moved, and she couldn't help but wonder, why did Chu Jiaoren hate her so much, she didn't remember where she had offended this woman.

Chu Jiang rubbed his eyebrows, and looked at Chu Jiaoren helplessly, "Don't make a fuss about the coquette, let go of Miss Jiang......"

"Shut up!" Chu Jiaoren roared, glaring at Duan Rufang viciously, "Do you want to do it yourself or the Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother got off her seat, came to Duan Rubian's side, protected her behind her, and looked at Chu Jiaoren coldly, "The mourning family also gives you two choices, let go of Jiang Chengyue, and the mourning family spares your life, if you insist...... The mourners don't care about sacrificing her!"

Chu Jiaoren was stunned for a moment, and clenched the dagger, "This is what you said!" After speaking, she was about to stab down, who knew that with a wail, her dagger fell to the ground, Jiang Chengyue covered her neck and coughed violently, Duan Rubian hid the pearl in his hand, looked diagonally behind, and a man strode forward and picked up Jiang Chengyue.

Jiang Chengyue coughed and blushed, and stammered, "Ahem...... Two...... Second brother ......"

"If you can't speak, don't say it" Jiang Ruo said gently, turned around, his face was like frost, and he stared at Chu Jiaoren coldly, "Your hand is useless, my sister is not something that someone like you can hijack"

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and patted Jiang Chengyue's hand, "It's okay"

Jiang Ruo bowed his head and saluted, "Thank you for the Queen Mother's concern, my sister is frightened, we will go back first......"

The Queen Mother nodded in agreement, the two turned around and left, disappearing without a trace, Chu Jiang hugged Chu Jiaoren's shoulder, silently wept and didn't say a word, Chu Jiaoren sobbed in Chu Jiang's arms, Duan Rubian frowned and stepped forward, "Chu Jiaoren, I just ask, why did you hurt me?"

Chu Jiaoren's eyes were empty and her smile was weird, "Actually, I didn't want to hurt you"

Duan Rubian frowned, but saw Chu Jiaoren motioning for Chu Jiang to take out an envelope from his waist and hand it to Duan Rubian, Duan Rubian opened it, read the words inside carefully, and the expression on his face was even more ugly.

Chu Jiaoren smiled lightly and whispered to Chu Jiang, "Daddy, can you go over first?" I have something I want to say to Miss Duan alone."

Chu Jiang nodded and leaned her against the tree, the Queen Mother wanted to stop her, but Duan Rubian stepped forward directly, Chu Jiaoren was now incapable of killing her.

Chu Jiaoren stared at Duan Rujian and asked fixedly, "Do you really like him?"

Duan Rubian shook his head slightly, and Chu Jiaoren laughed, "I know that I am still being used by others, Miss Duan, I'm sorry......"

"When did you get this letter?" Duan Rubian asked in a low voice, Chu Jiaoren understood that Duan Rubian didn't want others to hear it, and lowered his voice

"When I was about to leave the house, a maid handed me this letter, I didn't believe it at first, but I was stupid, I thought you liked him, so I planned all this according to her plan, Jiang Chengyue actually didn't want to pull her in, but she chose to sit next to you, so I changed my plan temporarily"

"This plan is stupid," Duan Rubian replied lightly, "Just like just now, just find someone closest to you and compare the handwriting, and everything will be revealed."

Chu Jiaoren smiled bitterly and pulled the corners of her lips, "Maybe, these are no longer important......"

She paused slightly, raised her head and looked at Duan Rujian, "I like you a lot, at least you are much better than Duan Ruhua, this matter is that I am sorry for you and Jiang Chengyue, die...... It seems like I deserve it......"

Duan Rubian lowered his eyes and was silent, and only after a long time did he turn his head away from her.

The Queen Mother raised her hand and ordered someone to take Chu Jiaoren away, but she still did not take back the punishment of the guard, it seems that Chu Jiaoren will not escape death, many famous ladies sighed, and secretly relieved that they have not had this kind of thought, from entering the palace to the present, all the people who have harmed Duan Ruflaw, none of them have ended well.

Several maids stepped forward to pack up their things, picked up a paper ball, and made a gesture to throw it away, but they were seen by Duan Rubian at a glance, and stepped forward with her skirt, Duan Rubian snatched the paper ball from the maid's hand, slowly unfolded it, raised her eyes and looked at the father-in-law beside the Queen Mother, and had a plan in her heart.

Fu looked down at the envelope in his hand again, his hand couldn't help but shrink, and a trace of murder flashed in his eyes.
