The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 401
Seeing Cui Hengyue and Mrs. Cui walking into the room talking and laughing, Princess Huayu stomped her feet angrily.

"Second brother, that wild girl hurt her mother, yet you still help her?"

Chen Linshen said expressionlessly: "The matter hasn't come to light yet, even her father didn't punish her, why do you think so?"

Princess Huayu was choked and speechless for a moment.

"Let's go and see mother."

Speaking of going to see his mother, Princess Huayu immediately followed Chen Linshen away.

Shui Rong, who was guarding the door, saw it and reported to the room: "Ma'am, Yuan Niang, Prince Changshan and Princess Huayu have left."

Mrs. Cui nodded slightly to show that she understood, and continued talking to Cui Hengyue.

Seeing this, Shui Fu pulled Shui Rong into the yard, and asked eagerly: "What happened yesterday? Why did the Prince Regent lock Yuan Niang in the mansion?"

Shui Rong lowered her voice and said slowly: "The thing is like this."

In the room, Mrs. Cui was also asking Cui Hengyue about this matter. Cui Hengyue did not hide anything, and told her the whole story.

Hearing the back, Madam Cui frowned more and more tightly: "As you said, Mother Xu ordered people to block off the whole street shortly after she came in.

"But until now, no one from the Prince Regent's Mansion has found the assassin, which means that the assassin's martial arts are very high, and he may have escaped before the streets were closed.

"Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the assassin didn't have time to escape, and was still hiding among the people. It's just that the people from the Prince Regent's Palace haven't found him yet."

Mrs. Cui had a premonition that the people in the Prince Regent's House could not find the assassin.

If this is the case, Cui Hengyue can only wait until the regent princess wakes up if she wants to prove her innocence.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Cui took Cui Hengyue's hand and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, you are the eldest daughter of my Cui family, and the regent will not do anything to you until there is conclusive evidence.

"Currently, apart from people from the Prince Regent's Mansion and Cui Mansion, the outsiders only know that the Princess Regent was assassinated, and they don't even know that you and Sanniang were involved. This shows that the Prince Regent doesn't really believe that it was you who did it.

"You can live in the Regent's Mansion with peace of mind. After I go back, I will send more people out to find clues, and I will definitely return your innocence."

Cui Hengyue was very moved, with tears in her eyes, she shook her hand vigorously: "Thank you, auntie."

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Cui was both sad and distressed: "Silly boy, you and I are a family, and I will take good care of you."

Mrs. Cui asked Cui Hengyue some more questions, then got up and said to Cui Hengyue: "I will go to see Sanniang and then go back to the mansion. You can stay here at ease, and I will take you home when the time comes."

The word "go home" touched Cui Hengyue's heart, and she nodded with tears in her eyes: "Well, I'm waiting for my aunt here."

So Mrs. Cui went to the courtyard next door.

Shui Fu took this opportunity to walk into the room: "Yuan Niang, you have suffered."

"I'm fine, get up and talk." Cui Hengyue asked about the situation of Cui's mansion: "After I left the mansion yesterday, is there any movement in the mansion?"

Shui Fu respectfully replied: "After the news came back to the mansion yesterday, the second and third masters were called by the Duke of the State, and then the news came out that the Duke of the State asked the second and third masters to come to the Prince Regent's Mansion to pick you up.

"But the third master"

Seeing her stop, Cui Hengyue mocked: "He definitely doesn't want to come."

"Yes, the third master didn't want to come, so he asked the third wife to follow the second master and the second wife to the Regent's Palace, but for some reason, the third wife didn't go in the end, only the second master and the second wife went.

"Currently, there is no movement in the mansion. It should be because they don't want to publicize this matter. After all, people outside don't know that you and Sanniang are involved."

Cui Hengyue was silent.

As the Cui family's reputation was concerned, Cui Quan would definitely not act rashly, otherwise, with Cui Quan's temperament, he would have come to the Prince Regent's Mansion long ago.

After the silence, Cui Hengyue calmly said: "I didn't do it, and Sanniang and I can go back when the regent finds out the truth.

"You follow the eldest lady back to the mansion, guard Jinglan Garden carefully, and don't leave the courtyard if you have nothing to do."

Shuifu took the lead.

After Mrs. Cui came out of Cui Sanniang's courtyard, she glanced at the courtyard next door, and then asked Madam Xu: "I heard that the Shizi Concubine went out of the city to offer incense yesterday, has she not come back yet?"

"I have already sent someone to send a message to Shi Zifei, and I must be on my way back to the mansion now." Madam Xu replied.

Mrs. Cui took advantage of the situation and said: "Since the imperial concubine is not in the mansion, I will go back to the mansion first, and I will trouble Mother Xu to tell the eldest son for me."

Mother Xu said yes, and then said: "Then I'll send it to Da Furen."

The group of people walked a certain distance, Jiang Chen walked towards him, followed by several people, except for a few guards, there was also a familiar face.

Mrs. Cui couldn't help but take a second look.

"I've met Mrs. Cui." Jiang Chen stopped and saluted Mrs. Cui.

Although he has an official position, he is not comparable to Mrs. Cui's status as Mrs. Gaoming.

Mrs. Cui also stopped, and looked at the person behind Jiang Chen: "This is Commander Jiang"

Jiang Chen glanced in the direction of her gaze: "This is a guest invited by my master."

Point to end.

Mrs. Cui didn't ask any further questions, she just smiled and continued walking.

After walking for a while, Mrs. Cui asked Nanny Xu again: "Has the regent returned to the mansion?"

Mother Xu: "At this time, the Prince Regent should have come out of the palace. Do you want to meet the Prince Regent?"

"No, I have to go back home." Mrs. Cui walked straight forward without saying a word.

After getting into the carriage, Mrs. Cui asked Wu Tong: "Who was the person brought by Jiang Chen just now? Have you seen it?"

Wu Tong recalled the face he saw just now, and then searched for memories in his mind: "It seems to be right, it is the nephew of Minister of Rites, surnamed Song.

"On the day of Princess Regent's birthday, I saw him talking to Yuanniang from a distance."

Mrs. Cui suddenly became vigilant: "Go and investigate this person"

Shortly after Cui's carriage left the Prince Regent's Mansion, Chen Zhan's carriage arrived in front of the mansion.

As soon as Chen Zhan entered the mansion, he asked the guards in the mansion, "Where's Jiang Chen?"

The guard replied: "Commander Jiang just brought someone back, so he should be in the side hall right now."

Hearing this, Chen Zhan turned around and went to the side hall.

"Master, you are back."

Seeing Chen Zhan walking in, Jiang Chen hurriedly went up to meet him, and said in a low voice, "There are indeed several people with strong martial arts around him, but they are all reckless."

Song Zhuoxing got up, sincerely and fearfully: "I have seen the regent."

Chen Zhan stretched out his hand to stop Jiang Chen, walked straight to the superior seat and sat down: "I heard that Mr. Song Xiaolang came to Beijing this time to visit relatives. Why don't you live in the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, but live outside?"

Song Zhuoxing had been prepared for a long time, and replied calmly: "My uncle's family style is strict and there are many rules. I come from a merchant family, and I love freedom the most. Of course, I live outside to feel comfortable."

"Haha, Mr. Song Xiaolang is indeed a man of temperament."

Chen Zhan smiled brightly, but in the next moment, he changed his face: "I don't know why Mr. Song Xiaolang, a businessman, went to Yunxuan Temple and lived in Yunxuan Temple for three months?"
