The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 374
"Boom-thump-thump-"

Just when Cui Hengyue and others were guessing Ju Hong's true intentions, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The three people in the room were startled and looked towards the door together.

Cui Hengyue shouted, "Who?"

"Yuan Niang, it's me." It was Orange Hong's voice.

What is she here for?
The three looked at each other, with the same doubt in their eyes.

Cui Hengyue winked at Mrs. Wen, who immediately got up and came to the door.

"Squeak-"

The door opened, and Orange appeared in the sight of the three.

Lady Wen looked outside calmly, except for Orange, there was no one in the corridor.

"come in."

Lady Wen turned her body sideways, let in the orange, and then closed the door.

Before Cui Hengyue could ask her a question, Ju Hong knelt on the ground with a plop, her face full of regret: "Yuanniang, I'm here to ask you for your sins."

"Oh~" Cui Hengyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of interest in her eyes: "What's the crime?"

Ju Hong first kowtowed, and then bravely looked at Cui Hengyue: "I am the spy that the old lady planted in Jinglanyuan."

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of the other three people changed instantly, and they couldn't help but exchanged glances with each other.

After being shocked, Cui Hengyue asked the most important question: "Why did you confess to me?"

Hearing this, Tangerine's face showed pain, and her eyes were flushed: "Because the longer I stay in Jinglan Garden, the more I know what kind of person Yuan Niang is.

"Although Yuanniang looks indifferent and doesn't like people who are close to the third room, it's the fault of the third master and third wife, so I can't blame Yuanniang.

"In my heart, Yuan Niang is a kind and generous little lady, not a scourge as the old lady said.

"Yuan Niang is not afraid of power, I admire it in my heart, and I don't want to help the old lady spy on you, so I came to plead guilty.

"Everything is my fault, it is up to Yuan Niang to decide whether to beat or punish."

After finishing speaking, Ju Hong leaned down and knocked down heavily.

Cui Hengyue was silent, and then asked: "How did you pass the news to the old lady?"

At the beginning, when the news of her punishment of Shui Fu spread, the people in Jinglan Court had never left the courtyard, so she was always curious about how the news got out.

Orange Hong replied honestly: "There is a hollow brick in the middle of the west wall. Every time I put the news in that brick, and imitate three bird calls, someone will take the news away."

Sure enough, there were people watching outside Jinglan Garden. Miss Wen remembered what Cui Hengyue said before, and couldn't help casting admiring glances at Cui Hengyue.

Since this little girl became a teacher of Mu Yun, her martial arts have greatly improved. It seems that she may not be the opponent of the little girl now.

Cui Hengyue looked at Shui Rong: "Go and have a look."

After Shui Rong left, Cui Hengyue interrogated Ju Hong, including what news she sent out.

When the question was almost finished, Shui Rong came back: "Yuan Niang, there is indeed a hollow brick in the west wall."

Cui Hengyue nodded her head to show that she understood, and then looked at Ju Hong: "You confessed to me today, are you going to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and betray the old lady?
"Or do you know that I suspect you and want to fool you?"

Such a direct question, even if it was to save his life, he knew how to answer it.

Lady Wen murmured in her heart: The little girl is still too young.

Shui Rong looked at Cui Hengyue thoughtfully.

Ju Hong didn't hesitate, and replied respectfully: "Naturally, it's a matter of abandoning darkness and turning to light."

"Aren't you afraid that the old lady will deal with you?" Cui Hengyue asked.

"I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid that my conscience will make it difficult for me."

Ju Hong's words shocked the three of them again, and Mrs. Wen began to look at the little maid who was kneeling on the ground again.

Cui Hengyue hooked the corners of her lips: "What should I do next, don't I need to tell you?"

Ju Hong blinked her eyes, and her eyes were bright: "The news is still passed on, but this news is what Yuan Niang wanted to tell the old lady."

Really smart.

Cui Hengyue was very satisfied, and waved her hand: "Okay, you can go back and rest."

"Yes." Ju Hong resigned and left.

The door was closed again, and Lady Wen returned to Cui Hengyue: "Yuanniang, you don't really believe her, do you?"

"Why don't you believe her?" Cui Hengyue asked back.

"."

Mrs. Wen was choked up, and said again: "Who knows if what she said is true or not."

But Shui Rong said: "If she hadn't intended to seek refuge, she wouldn't have told Yuanniang the secret of Si Fang, but I think she is sincere."

"It's hard to say, it's better to be cautious." After careful consideration, Mrs. Wen was still skeptical of Juhong.

Cui Hengyue looked at them, and said lightly: "If you are sincere, you will know if you try it."

On the second day, Cui Hengyue left Shui Rong and Ju Hong to serve her dinner, and sent Lady Wen out.

"Tomorrow is the birthday of Princess Regent, but Ba Niang is injured and cannot accompany me to the banquet, who do you think I should bring?" Cui Hengyue asked casually during the meal break.

Ju Hong looked at Shui Rong, her position was the lowest here.

Shui Rong also took a look at Ju Hong, and said slowly: "I think things have become like this, we should take a step back and take Si Niang."

Cui Hengyue looked at Ju Hong: "What do you think?"

"I think Sister Shui Rong is right, she should take Siniang to the banquet."

Seeing Cui Hengyue and Shui Rong looking at her, Ju Hong explained: "The two wives of Hongrui and Haitangyuan died. Although the old lady claimed that Hongrui made the decision privately and hurt Ba Niang, anyone with a discerning eye would know that Without Siniang's order, Hongrui would never dare to do anything to Ba Niang.

"If Yuanniang wants to bring the other young ladies of the third room to the banquet, I'm afraid she will become the next eighth niang, so it's better to bring the fourth niang to the banquet, lest Yuanniang blame herself."

Cui Hengyue nodded: "That makes sense."

After saying this, Cui Hengyue didn't speak again, and ate in silence.

After eating, Cui Hengyue asked Mrs. Wen to visit Ba Niang for her, asked Shui Rong to accompany her to the school, while Ju Hong stayed to take care of Jinglan Garden.

After Cui Hengyue and the others left Jinglan Garden, Ju Hong came to the west courtyard wall, took out a wall brick in the middle and lower, stuffed the note that had been prepared into the wall brick, and then put the wall brick back to its original position .

"Tweet."

Ju Hong squatted under the corner of the wall and imitated three bird calls.

After a few breaths, the wall brick she just put in slowly moved out until the wall brick was completely removed.

But soon, the wall tiles returned to their original positions.

During the whole process, the sound is extremely small, if you don't listen carefully, you won't hear the sound at all.

Ju Hong got up and left with a calm expression.

On the roof not far away, Cui Hengyue looked away and asked Shui Rong: "Do you remember their positions?"

"Remember." Shui Rong nodded.

Cui Hengyue then quietly jumped off the roof, followed by Shui Rong.

"Go and keep an eye on Fuhai Courtyard, and report any news in time."

"Yes."

Shui Rong took the order and left.

Cui Hengyue went to the school slowly.

Before hearing the news from Fuhai Academy, Cui Hengyue heard a bad news first.

"Have you heard? Wang Shangshu's eldest son has been arrested."

A figure flashed by.

"Who got caught?"

Looking at Cui Hengyue who suddenly appeared, Cui Sanniang was startled, and opened her mouth to curse: "Are you a ghost?"

Cui Hengyue suddenly reached out and grabbed Cui Sanniang by the collar, and lifted her up: "Who was arrested?"

When the suffocation came, Cui Sanniang felt fear in her heart, and hurriedly replied: "It's the eldest son of Wang Shangshu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and his name is Wang Mingwei. He was arrested and taken to the prison of Dali Temple."
