Chapter 26 (2/2)

”No.” Lin Xiyuan raised another thread bound book and looked calmly at the old lady of Chu. ”This seems to be a collection of poems by miss four.”

The expression on the old lady Chu's face suddenly changed. Chu Jinxian gently raised one side of her eyebrows and said, ”didn't the four girls say that she had only one collection of poems, which was torn up yesterday?”

Chu Jinmiao stood at the door. Hearing his name, he hurried in to see, ”grandma, you call me?”

She came in with a smile. As soon as she passed the partition, she saw the things in Lin Xiyuan's hand. Her face suddenly changed: ”this...”

She wanted to say how this could be here! This is a manuscript of her poetry, which has been kept in her house. She was confused with the manuscript secretly yesterday. The original of her poetry collection was torn by the shrew of the third girl. Chu Jinmiao was so distressed that she simply went back secretly to get the manuscript and put it away at a glance to avoid being recognized as wrong. Then she deliberately called people out and left Chu Jinyao. When she came back, she asked the servant girl to take out the torn original from her sleeve and pretend to have just found it, so as to plant all this on Chu Jinyao.

So when Chu Jinyao questioned her yesterday that she didn't have a copy, she was so frightened. Naturally, Chu Jinyao guessed the truth inadvertently.

Yesterday, Chu Jinmiao died and didn't admit it. He bluffed Zhao and the old lady of Chu, so that everyone believed her. Chu Jinyao was jealous of Chu Jinmiao, so he tore up the poetry collection. Chu Jinmiao secretly took the intact copy back to his house. He planned to send it to mother Deng as a copy he drove out the next night and let mother Deng take it back to the palace. This can not only show her talent to Princess huailing, but also completely eliminate the evidence and kill two birds with one stone.

Chu Jinmiao arranged well, and put the manuscript properly yesterday, waiting for dawn to give it to mother Deng. However, she didn't expect that when she got up early this morning, the manuscript could not be found. Chu Jinmiao had been found for a long time. She lost her temper in the house, but she still couldn't find it. Chu Jinmiao had no choice but to tell mammy Deng that her poetry collection had been torn up by Chu Jinyao, and her hand was hurt and she couldn't make it, so she had to break the appointment. Yesterday's events had already reached mother Deng's ears. Mother Deng understood it. She only thought Chu Jinmiao had really destroyed her efforts, so she comforted Chu Jinmiao and didn't mention it again.

Later things went so smoothly that Chu Jinmiao forgot himself and neglected the abnormality of this inexplicably disappeared poetry collection. Caught off guard, Chu Jinmiao saw it in Lin Xiyuan's hands. She just felt that a thunderbolt hit her head on a sunny day. She couldn't move and couldn't speak.

Old lady Chu looked at the poetry collection in Lin Xiyuan's hand, and then at Chu Jinmiao's face. What else did she not understand. In this way, it is strange that Lin Xiyuan suddenly proposed to go to Baoxia to find something. Is it so coincidence that Lin Xiyuan just lost something. While looking for something in Baoxia, he also happened to find the poetry collection that should have been torn up in Chu Jinmiao's mouth.

The old lady of Chu couldn't think of any way, but she was at least sure that Chu Jinmiao lied. The old lady sneered in her heart. Good Chu Jinmiao. The girl who planted and framed them didn't say it. Unexpectedly, she dared to put her idea on her head! Is that how she works, Mrs. Chu?

The old lady of Chu silently glanced at Chu Jinmiao. Chu Jinmiao was sweating and almost knelt down. Outside the house stood all the masters of the Chu family. They were all bustling outside to send Chu Zhu home. They knew nothing about what happened inside the house. There are only three masters standing in the room: Lin Xiyuan, Chu Jinxian and the old lady. If the old lady raises her voice a little and startles others, Chu Jinmiao will be completely over!

Chu Jinmiao burst into tears in her eyes. She trembled and whispered to old lady Chu, ”grandma, I don't know what's going on. Believe me! I really don't know anything!”

The old lady Chu had a calm face and didn't speak. The lines on her mouth were deeply drooping. Chu Jinyao stood at the door. Seeing Chu Jinmiao go in for a long time, she felt something was wrong and turned to come in. Chu Jinyao went to the inner room and found that the atmosphere was not quite right. She didn't know what was going on, so she had to slow down and carefully asked, ”grandma, elder sister, what's the matter?”

Chu Jinxian glanced at Chu Jinmiao with an ironic smile in her eyes. Old lady Chu seemed to have finally made up her mind. She said to Lin Xiyuan, ”since the son of God has found the book, everyone is happy. The girls in our family are not promising. You'll laugh. Come on, pick up the things in the son's hand.”

The old lady's servant girl came forward and took the poetry collection from Lin Xiyuan. Taking this opportunity, Chu Jinyao saw what Lin Xiyuan was holding.

Chu Jinyao opened her mouth slightly in surprise. Then she thought of something, immediately restrained her look and quickly bowed her head. As Lin Xiyuan watched the old lady of Chu take over the collection of poems, he knew that the ancestors of the Chu family didn't intend to make it big. Also, it's not a glorious thing for a girl who has been raised for 13 years to frame a new daughter. But old lady Chu is the leader in the back house. As long as she knows who is right and who is wrong, it's enough.

Lin Xiyuan let the servant girl put away the evidence and let the old lady rest. He smiled and saluted the old lady: ”old lady Chu, I'll leave first. I hope you don't come to the palace for a banquet tomorrow.”

Old lady Chu smiled and nodded her head. Lin Xiyuan asked his entourage to collect his things, and then went out. When he passed Chu Jinyao, he stopped and said, ”I heard that my fifth cousin suffered yesterday, and her fifth cousin was proud and admirable. This is the jade mark paste in the palace, which was given by the east palace when I went to Beijing last year. These things are just dust in my place. It's better to give them to my fifth cousin.”

How could Chu Jinyao accept it? He refused immediately. Old lady Chu looked at her sleeve for a while and said, ”Jin Yao, since the son of the world gave it to you, you can take it.”

Let her take it? Chu Jinyao's head was big, but the old lady said so. She could only bless Lin Xiyuan and obey her way: ”Xie Shizi.”

The old lady said again, ”sister Gu, you can send the son of the world for me.”

”Yes.” grandma Gu walked to Lin Xiyuan with a smile on her face and personally sent Lin Xiyuan out. Chu Jinyao sideways avoids. After Lin Xiyuan and mammy Gu go out, Chu Jinyao looks up and secretly asks Chu Jinxian with her eyes.

What's the matter?

Chu Jinxian just shook her head and motioned to her to watch the change.

After Lin Xiyuan went out, Chu Zhu's carriage could finally start. All the women's family members stood at the second door and sent Chu Zhu away. In rongning hall, the old lady of Chu patted the table angrily and shouted, ”don't you kneel down for me!”

Chu Jinmiao's knees were soft and couldn't stand any longer. He knelt to the ground with a plop. Chu Jinmiao was frightened at the thought of the inexplicable collection of poems. She was cold all over. She couldn't understand why.
