The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 473 Innocent
After two days of calm, the Yasukuni Mansion began to have an undercurrent.

"Old madam, please see Hongju." After dismissing all the servants in the house, Mrs. Du reported to Old Madam Cui.

Mrs. Cui frowned slightly: "Didn't you tell her not to come to Fuhai Courtyard?"

"said."

Before Hongju entered the mansion, Mrs. Du taught her the rules, but today
"Old lady, I think that girl looks flustered, she probably has something important to report, let's listen to what she has to say first." Lady Du advised.

Mrs. Cui waved her hand with a straight face.

Lady Du then went out and brought Hongju in.

"Nubai see the old lady, the old lady is blessed."

After Hongju paid her respects, she pleaded before them: "I begged to see you without permission, and I asked the old lady to forgive me, but I came here today because I have something important to tell you."

Mrs. Cui's anger stagnated, and she said lightly: "Speak."

With permission, Hongju said: "Yesterday, I overheard the conversation between the maids beside Yuanniang. It was the two maidservants given to Yuanniang by the King of Chu.

"They said that Yuanniang also had a brother who was born only [-] quarters of an hour earlier than Yuanniang, but on the day she was born, he was thrown to death by the third master."

"presumptuous!"

Mrs. Cui yelled loudly, and Hongju immediately knelt down in fright and explained: "Forgive me, old lady, I didn't say this, they said it.

"I didn't tell anyone about this after I knew it. I came to see you early this morning."

Hongju was afraid that Mrs. Cui would punish her, so she hurriedly explained.

Seeing Mrs. Cui's face getting more and more ugly, Mrs. Du stopped the chatter of the red orange and asked, "What else did they say?"

"They said"

Hongju suddenly lowered her voice, and replied cautiously: "Back then, those who knew the truth thought that the third master accidentally fell, and then threw the child out of his arms, causing...
"The third master himself thought so, so he felt guilty towards the third wife in his heart, and now that Yuan Niang is back home, she is tolerant of her everywhere.

"But that's not the truth"

Mrs. Cui's face finally changed, and she couldn't help leaning forward: "What is the truth?"

Hongju crawled forward a few steps as if to cater to her, and replied in a low voice: "Actually, some people got in the way and poured oil on the place where the third master must pass, which caused the third master to stumble and the child was thrown to death."

There is such a thing?
Madam Du was extremely surprised, she observed Mrs. Cui's expression calmly, but saw that Mrs. Cui's expression was also surprised, as if she had heard of this for the first time.

It seems that the old lady is not aware of this.

Hongju's voice rang out again after a brief pause: "Old lady, do you know who this vicious person is?"

A face appeared in Mrs. Cui's mind, her eyes narrowed.

Mrs. Du also had some guesses in her heart, and urged Hongju: "Speak quickly."

Hongju felt a little disappointed when she didn't get any response from Mrs. Cui, but she didn't show it, and her tone was still respectful: "It's the fourth master.

"I heard that the Duke of the country put the fourth master under house arrest just because he learned of what the fourth master did."

Mrs. Du looked at Mrs. Cui with a strange expression. It was not because of this matter that the fourth master was placed under house arrest, but...if this matter was really done by the fourth master, then the decision made by the Duke of the country may also have taken this matter into consideration .

Mrs. Cui took a deep look at Hongju, and asked lightly: "How did those two girls know about this?"

Asking this is acknowledging that there is such a thing. Hongju lowered her head to suppress the shock in her eyes, and continued to report: "It seems that I got the news from the King of Chu."

King of Chu?

Mrs. Cui's face suddenly changed.

Why did the king of Chu know about the Yasukuni mansion?
No, why did the king of Chu want to investigate the affairs of the Yasukuni mansion?What is his purpose?
After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Cui felt apprehensive, and asked again: "Does Lady Yuan know about this?"

"I don't know." Hongju answered vaguely.

But Mrs. Cui believed that Cui Hengyue didn't know about it, and she felt that with Cui Hengyue's temperament, if Cui Hengyue knew about it, there would be chaos in the house.

"What else did you find out?" Mrs. Cui turned her eyes back to Hongju.

Hongju spoke in detail, and finally exited the room under Mrs. Cui's stern gaze.

"Snapped--"

Mrs. Cui waved her hand towards the table, even though the tea set was smashed to pieces, she still couldn't calm down the anger in her heart.

"It's unreasonable, he is so eccentric!"

Lady Du bowed her head in silence, not daring to make a sound.

I don't know how long it took, Mrs. Cui finally suppressed the anger in her heart, and turned her eyes to Mrs. Du: "Go and take care of it, I'm going to visit the fourth room."

Lady Du wanted to persuade her, but she finally swallowed what she wanted to say when she touched Mrs. Cui's eyes full of hatred.

The Yasukuni Mansion is about to change, Mrs. Du thought anxiously.

"Hongju, Yuan Niang is looking for you, come with me."

As soon as she entered Jinglanyuan, Hongju was called away by Shuifu. She felt guilty: Could it be that Yuanniang found out about her going to Fuhaiyuan?

Following Shui Fu nervously into the main room, there was a sound of closing the door behind her, she looked back and saw Shui Fu guarding the door, and just now before she came in, she saw Shui Rong guarding the door.

Seeing Cui Hengyue's displeased expression when she turned her head, her heart sank immediately.

But her face was very calm, and she saluted respectfully: "I have seen Yuan Niang, what orders does Yuan Niang have?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Cui Hengyue's mouth, and then he said calmly: "Although you are young, you are experienced in your actions and you are also sensible.

"Last time you turned from darkness to light, I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect that your heart was still toward your original master"

Hongju panicked, and quickly explained: "Yuanniang, I don't have one."

"To shut up!"

Cui Hengyue stood up and spoke harshly: "I know exactly where you went and what you said to the old lady just now.

"I wanted to entrust you with a heavy responsibility, but you let me down too much."

Cui Hengyue passed her and looked at Shui Fu: "Take her down, lock her up first, and sell her tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Hongju immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Yuan Niang, I made a mistake, please give me another chance, slave."

"Gag her mouth." Cui Hengyue did not want to hear her sophistry, and ordered.

Shui Fu rushed forward, grabbed Hong Ju, and then gagged her mouth.

"Yuan Niang—"

Shui Rong suddenly pushed the door open, glanced at Hongju hastily, and said: "Mr. Yao, please see me."

Cui Hengyue was a little surprised: "Let him in."

Shui Rong turned and went out, said "Go in" to Yao Shisan who was waiting outside, and then continued to guard the door.

When Yao Shisan entered, Shuifu raised her hand high, and was about to knock Hongju unconscious.

"stop!"

Yao Shisan rushed over, and while Shui Fu was in a daze, snatched the red orange from her hand.

"what are you doing?"

When Shui Fu came to her senses, she rushed over to question Yao Shisan and was about to rob him.

"Yuanniang, I have something to tell."

Yao Shisan protected Hongju behind his back, turned to Cui Hengyue and said, "Yuan Niang, Hongju is innocent."
