The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 73
There is a candle lamp every ten steps or so in the Manjusri Pavilion. Even so, under the half-surrounding of the cliff, the palace is still shrouded in darkness.

Qionghua followed closely behind Cui Hengyue, not daring to vent her anger. She vaguely felt that Cui Hengyue was very angry now, so she didn't dare to make any noise, which would disturb Cui Hengyue.

When walking near the stairs, Cui Hengyue suddenly stopped: "You wait for me here for a while, I will go back as soon as I go."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Qionghua to agree, she jumped and disappeared in front of Qionghua in an instant.

Qionghua: "."

I don't know how long I waited, but when Qionghua was worried about Cui Hengyue's accident and was going to find her, Cui Hengyue came back.

"Let's go."

Qionghua didn't dare to ask Cui Hengyue where she went or what she did, but followed her all the way to avoid the guards and returned to the North Vault.

After entering the room, Cui Hengyue went straight to the table, picked up the cold tea on the table and drank it in one gulp.

"Yueyue, that tea is cold, let me change the pot for you to warm it."

Qionghua walked over, picked up the teapot, and was about to change the hot tea, but Cui Hengyue pressed her hand.

"Is my brother really killed by my father?"

Qionghua's face changed drastically, why did Yueyue suddenly ask about this matter?

She was thinking about how to answer when there was a noise outside.

"someone is coming."

Qionghua put down the teapot and looked nervously at the door: "The two guards must have woken up."

Cui Hengyue was very calm, and comforted her: "Don't panic, I'm here, I'm sure you'll be fine."

"Oh!"

The door was kicked open, and Yun Lin, dressed in white, appeared at the door, and ordered with a gloomy face, "Take them away."

"Yue Yue--"

Seeing the guards rushing in aggressively, Qionghua trembled in fear, but she resisted the fear and took two steps forward, protecting Cui Hengyue behind her.

"What are you doing? Don't touch my little lady."

Qionghua raised her fist and waved it strangely at the guard who was reaching out to grab Cui Hengyue.

However, the guard restrained her with one move.

too weak.

Cui Hengyue couldn't help shaking her head, avoiding the guard's hand, and said calmly: "I will go by myself."

The guards didn't make things difficult for her, and seeing that she didn't resist, they let her go.

A group of people walked out of the North Catacomb in a mighty manner, and stepped on the stairs to Wenshu Pavilion.

Seeing this scene, Su Biwen, who was sneaking back to the North Courtyard, couldn't help but lift his thin lips under the scarf until Cui Hengyue's figure disappeared from sight, and Su Biwen turned and left.

As soon as Cui Hengyue entered the meeting room of Wenshu Pavilion, he saw two dead bodies on the ground, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

Sure enough, when Yun Chen saw her, he lost his usual smile and said angrily, "Cui Hengyue, I think I treat you kindly.

"You were able to grow up in the South Hall safe and sound, thanks to me and the brothers in the South Hall. It's fine if you don't know how to be grateful, but there's no need to kill them, right?"

She killed them?
Wronged her again?

Cui Hengyue immediately became angry: "Fat monk, can you play some new tricks, don't accuse me of being a murderer every time someone dies."

"I wronged you?"

Yun Chen stood up awkwardly, and asked Cui Hengyue: "Then tell everyone, where did you go?"

Qionghua suddenly became nervous.

Cui Hengyue said calmly, "I stayed in the room after returning to the North Catacomb in the morning, and didn't go anywhere."

"You tell me." Yunchen turned to Qionghua.

Qionghua clasped her hands tightly, suppressed the tension in her heart, and replied calmly: "After Yueyue returned to the North Catacomb in the morning, she has been staying in the room. I can testify to this matter."

"You belong to Cui Hengyue, and your testimony is not credible." Chen Guang said coldly.

Qionghua panicked immediately, and said to Yunchen: "Captain Yun, Yueyue didn't kill anyone, she's been with me all day today, we haven't been separated, she can't kill anyone."

"When she killed someone, you were by her side, so naturally you never separated." Chen Guang interrupted her.

Qionghua: "."

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Qionghua knelt down anxiously: "Captain Yun, I swear, Yueyue didn't kill anyone."

"Get up." Cui Hengyue grabbed Qionghua's arm and lifted her up: "You don't have to explain to them, the clean is cleared, I didn't kill anyone, no one can wrong me."

"Ha ha!"

Yunlin sneered, and pointed at the two guards beside him: "They said that Qionghua tricked them into opening the door, and then you knocked them out.

"If you didn't want to go out, why did you knock them out?"

Cui Hengyue glanced at the two guards guarding the North Catacomb without changing his expression: "It must be that they were lazy and dozed off, and dreamed that I knocked them out in a dream."

"You still dare to quibble?" Yun Lin, who had always been calm, was irritated by Cui Hengyue who opened his eyes and told nonsense, his hands clenched into fists, and his knuckles clicked.

"Before they dozed off, Qionghua and I were in the North Catacombs and didn't go anywhere. After they woke up, we were still in the North Catacombs. It's not like they were dreaming, so what?"

Seeing what Cui Hengyue said so seriously, a guard guarding the North Catacombs couldn't help scratching his head, and muttered softly, "Could it be that I'm really dreaming?"

"Don't be fooled by her, how could the two of us have the same dream?" Another tall guard said to wake up his companion.

His voice was relatively loud, Cui Hengyue heard it and said: "You two are together all day, you feel like brothers, why is it so strange to have the same dream."

The tall guard was not fooled by Cui Hengyue, he retorted sternly: "Our neck hurts, we must have been beaten by you"

"No, it's also possible that you bumped into the door when you were dozing off." Cui Hengyue said.

Tall guard: "."

Hearing this, Yun Chen got angry and slammed the table: "Cui Hengyue, don't argue, we found your silver hairpin near the corpse, and it was still stained with blood.

"And they were killed by your silver hairpin."

Silver hairpin?

Since when did she have a silver hairpin?
Cui Hengyue was wondering when she saw a guard walking in front of her with a tray in which was a bloody silver hairpin.

It is Chen's silver hairpin.

"This is the silver hairpin that you said in public that you bought it from Mrs. Chen, and you used it to hurt Li Bi'er. You cannot deny this matter."

Yun Chen said with a cold face: "Now you use it to kill my people, how do you explain it?"

"I didn't kill them, I don't even know who they are." Cui Hengyue met Yun Chen's gaze.

Chen Guang interjected: "They are the guards stationed outside Zhen Jiu's courtyard. When you first went to Zhen Jiu, you fought against them."

Cui Hengyue: "."

The guards in Wenshu Pavilion and Dizang Pavilion were all wearing the same clothes. That day when she went to Zhen Jiu for help, she just went in and didn't pay much attention to what the guards at the door looked like.

Cui Hengyue looked down at the corpse on the ground, and took a closer look, it seemed a bit like the guards stationed at the gate of Zhen Jiu's courtyard.

"I didn't kill them." Cui Hengyue raised her head, looked at Yun Chen and said word by word.

Yun Chen suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since you don't admit it, then I will let you have nothing to say."

After finishing speaking, he raised his voice and ordered: "Come here, bring Zhen Jiu and Ku Xuan over here."

Immediately, the guards left the hall quickly.

Qionghua approached Cui Hengyue quietly, and whispered: "Yueyue, are we alright?"

Cui Hengyue gave her a reassuring look, and said with a suppressed voice: "I never did it, they can't wrong me."
