"Your Highness, this is evidence of guilt!" Miss He stretched out her hand and quickly snatched the sachet from Qu Moying's hand, with an indignant look on her face.
This is to prove Qu Moying's guilt of having an affair with a man, and the sachet is the evidence of the affair.
Pei Yusheng's body suddenly straightened up, and he felt something was wrong.
"Fight!" Pei Yuanjun said lazily.
Ji Hai slapped Miss He with his backhand, causing her to step back two steps and fall heavily to the ground. The sachet in her hand had already been snatched away by Ji Hai and was presented to Qu Moying again.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became chilly. Qu Moying took the sachet from Ji Hai's hand as if nothing had happened and examined it carefully, as if he was not aware of the terrifying and stiff atmosphere in the room.
"Do I look like an easy target to bully?" Pei Yuanjun asked in a faint voice. He raised his eyes to glance at Fourth Miss He. His beautiful sleeping phoenix eyes were cold and gloomy.
Miss He Si's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by something, making it hard for her to breathe. She was impulsive just now and did not think too much about it. She was afraid that Qu Moying would destroy this so-called "evidence", so she snatched it back.
The other young ladies present also felt a chill in their hearts and took two steps back involuntarily. When they came here just now, many of them came with the purpose of exposing Qu Moying, but this time they did not dare to go forward. The one sitting on the throne was the King of England, how could they dare to go forward
Several young ladies recalled some rumors about the King of England, their faces turned pale, their hands holding the handkerchiefs trembled slightly, and they only regretted that they did not find an excuse to leave just now.
"Someone, take her away..." Pei Yuanjun said softly, but everyone could sense his murderous intent at this moment. They lowered their heads and dared not utter any private words, for fear that this evil star would notice them.
"Uncle Wang, please wait a moment!" Pei Yusheng knew something was wrong and said with a smile.
Pei Yuanjun didn't say anything, but glanced at him sinisterly, which made Pei Yusheng's scalp tingle. He had to stand up. It was not because he cared about the fool Miss He Si, but because she was the niece of Concubine He and his cousin. Even if it was for his own face, he had to stand up.
Pei Luoan smiled slightly and leaned back. This matter had nothing to do with him. He actually hoped that his second brother would confront Uncle Wang. He was just here to watch the show.
It’s quite interesting!
No matter who is right or wrong, it has nothing to do with him, and it can also make Pei Yusheng and Pei Yuanjun enemies, which is a good game...
"Uncle Wang, there must be something fishy about this. We must let Miss Qu Si talk about the situation at that time, so that she won't be plotted against without knowing it." Pei Yusheng said seriously under the gloomy pressure from Pei Yuanjun, and glanced at Pei Luoan who was watching the show. He gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that he wanted to see himself fighting with Pei Yuanjun, dreaming! If we want to fight, let's fight together!
"Uncle Wang, this banquet is held in Liu Mansion. County Lord Jingyu is the host. He must have discovered something. We need to verify everything and clear Miss Qu's name."
Pei Yusheng had no choice but to stand on Qu Moying's side and drag Liu Jingyu into the water.
If a man really came to the inner courtyard today and sneaked into the place where the women rested, Liu Jingyu would be guilty.
Pei Luoan's face darkened for a moment, and he immediately understood Pei Yusheng's intention, but then he continued to look at everyone calmly without responding.
At times like this, he should stand aside instead of intervening.
Even if Liu Jingyu is responsible, it is nothing compared to Fourth Miss He.
After Pei Yusheng finished speaking, he looked at Pei Yuanjun's face and saw that he was squinting his eyes and seemed to be very interested in what he said. He didn't ask anyone to drag Miss He away, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He glared at Miss He Si fiercely. He had originally just come to watch the show, but now he had to intervene. He now only hoped that this idiot He Si would not intervene too much. No matter how you look at this kind of thing, especially since it happened in the Liu Mansion, it didn't seem like something He Si could do alone.
He just didn't believe that Liu Jingyu knew nothing.
As for Qu Moying, he remained as calm as ever, flipping through the sachet in his hand, as if he was completely unaware of the gloomy and cold atmosphere at the scene.
"What did Miss Qu Si find out?" Pei Yuanjun didn't say anything, so Pei Yusheng had to find Qu Moying.
"This sachet is very interesting. It should be a pair, right?" Qu Moying said as she flipped through the sachet in her hand. "It's embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks. Mandarin ducks come in pairs, so it must be a pair. There seems to be something inside."
Most of the ladies present were wearing sachets, except Qu Moying. Not only that, it even looked like it had been torn off by someone, with a small piece broken off. No one paid attention to Qu Moying at the time. However, seeing that there was still a small piece of strap on it, it should have been bright red. The sachet she had now was bright red.
Worthy of it!
Although the ladies present did not speak, their expressions were subtle.
Sensing that so many young ladies were looking at her, Qu Moying smiled and looked down at the sachet strap around her waist. It was a short piece that looked like it had been torn apart, and the color matched.
No one dared to say this. With the King of England around, everyone just stared at the sachet on Qu Moying's waist. Only Miss He Si was sitting on the ground. She pointed at Qu Moying's waist and said through gritted teeth, "Where is Miss Qu Si's sachet? Could it be this?"
She had to admit that things had come to this point, but she didn't dare to be as presumptuous as she had just been.
"Miss Fourth He, do you think this is my sachet?" Qu Moying raised her eyebrows and asked with a soft smile. Her face was delicate, but she was graceful and generous, with a smile on her lips, as elegant as a lotus and yet a bit charming, very pleasing to the eye.
In the cold and depressing atmosphere in the house, she could actually laugh so easily, which inexplicably made people feel... maybe this really wasn't her fault
"Isn't it? The sachet is right under Miss Qu Si's couch, but the sachet on Miss Qu Si's body is gone. If it's not Miss Qu Si's, then whose is it?" Miss He Si gritted her teeth and persisted.
But now she fell to the ground and her words lacked some momentum.
"Of course it's not mine. Maybe someone wants to frame me. Otherwise, why would the maid be disturbed and someone else come in when I was resting peacefully in the house?" Qu Moying didn't care and smiled slightly, "Besides, this sachet is not mine."
"Didn't the maid lie? Concubine Qu testified to it just now." Fourth Miss He was not convinced. She had planned so much, so how could she be willing to fail in the end? She pointed at Qu Qiuyan who was hiding behind the crowd and said righteously.
Qu Qiuyan only hated that someone saw her at this time. She just gave a false testimony, but she was not willing to appear in front of everyone at this time. Everyone knew that the King of England was here, and the matter was very delicate now.
Everyone's eyes followed the finger of Miss He Si. Pei Yusheng's heart skipped a beat again. He glared at Qu Qiuyan fiercely. He brought Qu Qiuyan here to make friends with Qu Moying. How could he mess with her now
And into this matter.
"I... I'm not..." Qu Qiuyan said anxiously, shaking her hands.
"Your Highness, there is no need to be afraid of anyone. What you just saw is what it is. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the two princes are here, and they will definitely seek justice for you." Fourth Miss He said righteously. Of course, if she hadn't fallen to the ground now, she would have looked more imposing.
She was beaten so badly that her legs were weak. The maid next to her was so timid that she was shaking all over and didn't dare to come over to help her.
"I... just didn't notice. Maybe... someone had already left when I looked." Qu Qiuyan didn't dare to insist that she didn't see it. She just wanted to be a "knife" in the hands of others, but she didn't intend to risk it. The current situation did not look good. The most important thing was the attitude of Qu Moying and King Ying, which made her panic.
Having fought with Qu Moying more than once, and with the King of England's ambiguous attitude, even if Qu Qiuyan wanted to frame him, she had to consider her own situation at this time.
"My Lady Concubine, that's not what you said just now!" Fourth Miss He was extremely angry. She glared at Qu Qiuyan hatefully, hoping that she would add fuel to the fire.
Qu Qiuyan looked up at Pei Yusheng, and seeing that Pei Yusheng was also glaring at her, she became even more panicked. She pursed her lips hard and hurriedly explained, "Fourth Miss He, I really just didn't notice it just now. I didn't say that my sister's maid cheated. If that's what Fourth Miss He meant... I'm really sorry, I made you misunderstand."
After finishing this long paragraph, Qu Qiuyan's face had turned pale, and the hand she was holding on to her maid was shaky. She raised her eyes and saw that Pei Yusheng's expression had softened, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"You..." Miss He Si was furious. If she wasn't still sitting on the ground, she would have wanted to slap Qu Qiuyan twice.
A concubine really thinks of herself as the queen.
A maid hurried in from the door, walked carefully to Liu Jingyu's side, and whispered a few words. Liu Jingyu frowned and looked at the people sitting up, his face was a little reluctant, but he had to stand up: "Your Highnesses, someone just found a man in the lake, wearing dark blue clothes."
"The man in navy blue clothes?"
"No... Is that the person?"
"That's for sure." This sentence immediately made the originally quiet atmosphere excited. The ladies looked at each other. Even though they didn't dare to speak loudly, there was a bit of contempt in their eyes when they looked at Qu Moying. This was conclusive evidence.
The fourth young lady of the Qu family actually had a secret meeting with her lover here.
"Go and bring the person to me." Pei Yuanjun said, his eyes sliding across the young ladies, and his voice immediately became softer.
The guard went out and soon brought back a young man who was completely wet. The clothes he was wearing were navy blue, the same color that everyone had seen before.
"It's an elephant. It's a real elephant."
"That's it."
“She actually met with her lover in secret, this… this is…” Another young lady couldn’t help herself.
"Look, what is that, a sachet?" Someone suddenly screamed, pointing at the sachet on the waist of the man in front of him.
Because of the shock, the noise was so loud that everyone immediately saw the sachet, which was exactly the same as the one in Ji Hai's hand now. They were obviously a pair.
A pair of scent bags, a man in navy blue clothes, jumped into the lake, and was not caught up, but this will be found on other shores of Liu Mansion...
