When she saw the prince entering the door, her calm and composed eyebrows were tainted with a thin layer of anger. Her voice was kept low, hiding an overwhelming displeasure.

"Is Gu a dirty thing? You will be punished like this just for inviting five girls to have tea. Does your lady look down on Gu?"

Liu Qian was caught off guard by a series of questions, and she fell down in fear.

"I don't dare, slave."

Lu Ji glanced at him coldly, and he didn't say anything. He just hummed softly, which was enough for people in the room to figure it out.

Hezhi hurriedly helped Liu Piaopiao, and saw that her forehead was red and her hands were broken. She couldn't stand because of the board, and she burst into tears in distress.

"As long as I'm around, I can't let the girl go through this!"

Liu Piaopiao smiled at her, stood up with difficulty and saluted Lu Ji.

"Your Highness."

Lu Ji approached her, and the clear fragrance of snowy willows entered her heart and made Liu Piaopiao's chaotic mind suddenly clear. She heard Lu Ji's low voice, which revealed an imperceptible distress.

"Does it hurt?"

Liu Piaopian shook her head: "It's okay, Your Highness, I just asked you to run away."

"I originally had something to do with my uncle."

Liu Piaopiao exclaimed, it turned out that Lu Ji was also quite good at lying.

The man walked to the main seat and sat down firmly.

"Aren't you all curious about what the fifth girl did in the East Palace? I'll tell you in detail."

Liu Yufu still had tears on her face, she raised her head pitifully and called out: "Cousin."

Lu Ji didn't look at her and just said: "Yu Fu is still a bit unruly."

The words frightened Liu Yufu so much that she lowered her head and bit her lip and did not dare to say anything more. On the contrary, Liu Wenlan was neither humble nor overbearing. She held the teapot and poured tea for Lu Ji with a smile that was neither humble nor overbearing.

"Piaopiao is a girl after all. If we don't ask questions like this clearly, it will damage her innocence. If gossip spreads in the future, others will say that we are not good at raising our daughter, and it will also hinder His Majesty's dignity."

"Then what should we do? If it weren't for my aunt's incompetence in running the house, she wouldn't have had the fifth girl come to visit me."

Liu Wenlan couldn't hold back her smile, "What's going on?"

She turned around and saw Ling'er appearing with the weak Su Xiao on her arms. She only used a pair of medicines, and although she was somewhat improved, Su Xiao's complexion was still not good.

At this time, she bowed one by one, knelt down and started crying.

"It's all my fault. If the fifth girl hadn't taken pity on me, I wouldn't have been running around because of my illness."

Liu Qian looked at her haggard daughter-in-law, wondering when Su Xiao had hooked up with Liu Piaopiao.

Seeing that the prince had come to seek justice, Liu Piaopiao simply cried together with Su Xiao.

Anyway, it's better to lose face than to lose face completely.

"My sister-in-law's illness is always bad because I see it, and those quack doctors on the street don't have any reputation, so they take matters into their own hands."

Su Xiao cried so sadly that soon her handkerchief got wet.

"It's all my fault. I didn't dare to bother my mother, but I asked the fifth girl to bother. The fifth girl found a famous artist for me and used all her savings to buy a painting. Knowing that His Highness likes to collect poems, calligraphy and paintings, she exchanged things for a snow lotus.

Cure my illness. How could I have known that the fifth girl who was affected was beaten in vain? If I had known this, I might as well have died of illness!"
