The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 397
Comforting her daughter, Mrs. Cui Er walked up to Cui Hengyue and said viciously: "I warn you, if my elder sister has any troubles, I will definitely not forgive you."

Facing Mrs. Cui's warning, Cui Hengyue remained calm and composed: "I didn't hurt the princess regent, I have a clear conscience about this matter, if you want to wrong me, just let me go, and I will accompany you to the end."

"You..." Mrs. Cui Er didn't expect that Cui Hengyue, as the biggest suspect, would dare to speak to her in such an arrogant tone. She was so angry that her face was livid.

But after the anger passed, Mrs. Cui could not help muttering in her heart: This little girl said so, could it be that she is not the one who hurt Sister?
After thinking about it like this, the anger gathered in her heart gradually dissipated, Second Madam Cui took a deep look at Cui Hengyue, and said: "You wait here, I will come as soon as I go."

After saying that, Mrs. Cui Er turned around and walked out.

Cui Sanniang watched helplessly as her mother's back disappeared outside the door, but she didn't dare to step out. She was furious and rushed to Cui Hengyue:
"There are only two of us here now, tell me the truth, did you stab my aunt?"

"No." Cui Hengyue answered her angrily, and found a chair at random to sit down.

Cui Sanniang looked at her quietly, wondering if she was lying or not, so she also sat down, silently waiting for her parents to pick her up.

At this moment, Cui Yonglang was arguing with Chen Linyu: "I know that Yuan Niang is the most suspected, but San Niang was downstairs at the time, so she didn't even know what happened upstairs.

"San Niang has nothing to do with this matter, she is innocent, I want to take her back."

Chen Linyu said with a straight face: "No, everyone in Zhumanxuan is suspected, and they can't leave."

Hearing this, Cui Yonglang's face immediately darkened, and when he was about to speak, someone preempted him.

Mrs. Cui Er crossed the threshold and walked in with a gloomy face: "The princess is Sanniang's biological aunt. She has loved Sanniang as her own daughter since she was a child. Sanniang also respects the princess as she treats her mother. How could she hurt the princess? ?

"You grew up together, you know what kind of person Sanniang is, but now you suspect that Sanniang hurt the princess?
"No, you're not suspicious of Sanniang, you're suspicious of me."

Seeing his wife talking too much, Cui Yonglang stepped forward to pull her, and softly called "Ma'am".

Mrs. Cui Er didn't look at him, she shook off his hand, and rushed straight to Chen Linyu: "Sanniang respects you and treats you like a brother, but you treat her like this, it really chills me."

Chen Linyu felt guilty at what she said, and lowered his eyes: "Aunt."

"Don't call me aunt." Mrs. Cui said angrily, "Where is the regent, I want to see the regent."

At this moment, Chen Linshen came in from the outside and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, Auntie. We are not going to lock up my cousin, but just keep her in the mansion to assist in the investigation."

Second Madam Cui was unmoved, and said expressionlessly: "Sanniang didn't know about the assassination of the princess, and she told you everything she should say.

"If you haven't finished asking, then hurry up and ask, I'll wait here, and when you finish asking, I'll take Sanniang back."

Chen Linshen was momentarily at a loss for words: "."

Chen Linyu couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and said, "San Niang is our cousin, of course we believe her.

"It's just that Cui Yuanniang is the most suspect, we can't let her go until the truth comes to light.

"The Zhumanxuan that Sanniang entered with her is also the daughter of the Cui family. If we only let Sanniang go back and not Cui Yuanniang, we may cause people to criticize."

If he did this, people outside would definitely say that he favored Cui Sanniang.

After hearing this, Cui Yonglang wavered in his desire to bring his daughter back to the mansion.

He walked up to his wife and said in a low voice: "Why don't you let Sanniang stay, and tell the outside world that Sanniang is staying to take care of your aunt, and you can fulfill her filial piety."

Mrs. Cui Er hesitated.

When she first heard the news that Sister was assassinated, she was very worried. She was afraid that something would happen to Sister and her daughter. Now that she has seen Sister with her own eyes and confirmed that Sister is not in danger of her life, she feels much more at ease.

It's not impossible to let my daughter stay to take care of sister.
After pondering for a while, Mrs. Cui Er compromised.

Back in the hall, when Mrs. Cui told her daughter this decision, she thought that her daughter would not agree, but she did not expect her daughter to readily agree.

"My aunt was injured. I was thinking about it. I planned to stay and take care of her."

Hearing this, Cui Hengyue couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, why didn't she say that just now?

Seeing that Cui Sanniang agreed, Chen Linshen ordered his servants to tidy up the yard, and personally sent Cui Yonglang and his wife to the carriage.

When he returned to the hall, the servant said: "Your Majesty, the yard has been tidied up."

Cui Sanniang used to live in the Prince Regent's Mansion for a while, so the Regent Princess specially set up a courtyard for her to live in, and it was usually cleaned by someone, so it was quickly arranged.

"Take San Niang down first."

Chen Linshen comforted Cui Sanniang again: "You were also shocked today, you should rest well, there is someone to take care of your mother, you don't have to worry.

"The food will be delivered to your room, just like before, you don't have to be restrained."

Cui Sanniang raised her chin proudly: "I haven't done anything wrong, so I won't feel restrained."

After speaking, he followed the servant and left.

Chen Linshen walked in front of Cui Hengyue, and said in the usual tone, "Don't worry, this is not a detention, I just ask you to stay in the mansion to assist in the investigation for the time being."

"Even if it is imprisoned, what can I do?"

Cui Hengyue was expressionless. After saying this, she walked out and told the servants of the Prince Regent's Mansion: "Let's go."

Chen Linshen choked, seeing the servant looking over, he waved his hand to signal the servant to take Cui Hengyue down to resettle.

Pine asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, don't you doubt Miss Cui?"

"She wouldn't do such a stupid thing." Chen Linshen said.

From Yunxuan Temple to the capital, he didn't say he knew Cui Hengyue very well, but he still knew a thing or two.

Although Cui Hengyue sometimes acts impulsively, she always has deep meaning, and she will not do meaningless things.

For Cui Hengyue, harming the princess regent of the current dynasty would be harmful but not beneficial, and would put herself in danger. She would never do such a thing.

Song Mu was silent for a few breaths, and then said: "Miss Cui is so smart, maybe she is doing the opposite?"

Chen Linshen was stunned.

On the other side, after Cui Yonglang and his wife returned to the mansion, the second wife of Cui went directly to the second room, but Cui Yonglang first sent someone to the third room to deliver a message, and then went to see Cui Quan.

At this time, Cui Yongzong was also in Cui Quan's study.

"Father, Yuan Niang and San Niang stayed at the Prince Regent's Mansion."

Cui Yonglang told him everything that happened in the Prince Regent's Mansion and the news he obtained: "...Chen Shizi's attitude is very firm, he should have obeyed the Prince Regent's order.

"So, I didn't insist, so I let them stay in the Prince Regent's Mansion."

Cui Quan's expression was serious: "If Yuanniang is telling the truth, then someone must be trying to frame us, Cui Shi."

Speaking of this, Cui Quan thought of someone: "Could it be that bastard Wang Wengan?"
