Chapter 35 (2/2)
Before the old lady spoke, Chu night pointed to Chu Xi and said, ”you still mean that if you didn't push me, how could I hit the palace man and how could the clothes of the fifth sister be dirty? Otherwise, it wouldn't happen later! It's all your fault!”
”Ah, the fourth sister used to say this?” Chu Xi looked guilty. ”I really didn't expect things to be like this, but the fourth sister you were too careless.”
Chu night was going to cry angrily. She didn't expect Chu Xi to throw a rake upside down: ”am I careless? It's obviously you did it on purpose!”
”Four elder sister, how can you say that about me?” Chu Xi was wronged and couldn't help crying. ”I was kind to my sisters, but I didn't expect such a thing. Four elder sister, you slandered me on purpose. We are close relatives. How can you say that about me?”
Seeing Chu Xi crying out of breath, Chu night fainted: ”Chu Xi, you -”
”Shut up!” the old lady's face was livid and interrupted the conversation.
Chu Wan trembled with fear and hurriedly forbade.
”And you, if you cry again, kneel down and cry in the yard!”
The old lady was upset and wanted to call them in and ask them what was going on. As a result, they quarreled as soon as they met. Chu Xi was still crying, and the old lady was angry directly.
When the old lady became powerful, Chu Xi quickly received her tears and was too scared to pretend again.
The old lady took a deep breath. She couldn't ask this just by asking a few girls. It seems that she has to check it slowly.
”All right, all three of you step down and copy the women's ring for me 50 times. Have a good memory!”
But no matter how the old lady remedied it, Chu Zhi's reputation was damaged.
After hearing this, Chu Yan also helped Chu Zhi investigate the truth.
Three days later, Chu Yan told Chu Zhi the results.
The servant girl who collected the burden for Chu Zhi accidentally bumped into a servant girl in the yard when she went out in the morning. The burden fell to the ground. The servant girl took the opportunity to change the burden. Chu Yan inquired for a long time before he knew that the servant girl was Chu Xi's person.
”As for that day in Princess Chang's house, because the people were too chaotic that day and missed the best opportunity for interrogation, there was nothing to ask.” Chu Yan said, ”what do you think we should do about it?”
Chu Zhi nodded, ”I see. Thank you, brother.”
”Aren't you surprised?” seeing Chu Zhi's indifferent look, Chu Yan asked, ”or did you guess long ago?”
”Don't hide it from elder brother. In fact, I guessed it was her when I was in the long princess's house. It's just that there is no evidence. No one will believe anything if there is no evidence. Besides, the person is still his own sister.”
Chu Yan frowned, nodded and agreed, ”you're right. Don't say it's you. I can't believe Xi'er will do such a thing.”
In Chu Yan's opinion, no matter how charming and domineering Chu Xi is, she won't harm others, but she even ordered people to change Chu Zhi's clothes and wanted to destroy Chu Zhi's reputation. This trick is really vicious.
”Don't worry, I will give you an account of it.”
Chu Zhi smiled: ”this is about the back house. Naturally, my grandmother intervenes. My brother has something important to do, so you don't have to worry about me.”
