With her intelligence, if it weren't for Chu Mobai trusting the servant, she would have been beaten out with a stick.
"My lord...they..."
Chu Mobai said in time: "That's enough, I will not pursue this matter any further."
Although Chu Mobai said he would not pursue the case, in fact there was no room for investigation in this matter.
Butler Wang has been in the palace for many years and has always been clean. Nothing tainted has ever happened.
It was precisely because of this reason that Chu Mobai believed in him very much.
But Li Zhiyi's eyes rolled, one plan failed and then another.
She said: "Your Majesty, but...but our melon..."
"I clearly remembered it very clearly and asked Dan'er to take good care of it every day. The melon grew vigorously every day. I was looking forward to eating melons with the prince under the moon, but I never thought that this melon would be eaten by a certain person.
The quickest people got there first."
Although Li Zhiyi did not mention Qian Ruoyu in every word, Qian Ruoyu was mentioned in every word, completely implying that Qian Ruoyu had eaten her own melon.
But Qian Ruoyu didn't care about her words at all, regardless of whether she said it explicitly or implicitly.
If she could find evidence, there would be something wrong.
But after Li Zhiyi finished speaking, Chu Mobai looked towards Qian Ruoyu.
Although he said nothing, his cold eyes stared at Qian Ruoyu, obviously questioning Qian Ruoyu with his eyes.
Qian Ruoyu spread her hands indifferently.
"What does it have to do with me?"
"Oh, my princess's Yueyage Pavilion was turned upside down by someone else. I didn't care about anything. Why is it that someone's melon was stolen and she started to blame it?"
Then, Qian Ruoyu took another bold step forward and came directly two feet in front of Chu Mobai.
At this time, Qian Ruoyu could smell the faint fragrance on Chu Mobai's body, which gave Qian Ruoyu an illusion. Was it his fragrance, or...an illusion?
But Qian Ruoyu said: "You have also seen it, why did my Yueyage Pavilion ask Butler Wang to come over and renovate it for me? Someone has gone too far!"
Qian Ruoyu is already the same as Li Zhiyi. Although Li Zhiyi is not mentioned in every sentence, every word has the image of Li Zhiyi, and he has completely used Li Zhiyi's method of framing people.
This is called treating others in their own way!
Chu Mobai naturally understood the meaning of Qian Ruoyu's words, but he did not look at Li Zhiyi. Instead, he still raised his head and said.
"So, you really stole the melon?"
Qian Ruoyu knew in her heart that Chu Mobai was indeed biased towards Li Zhiyi!
But Qian Ruoyu was well prepared. Even if Chu Mobai turned his entire Yueyage Pavilion upside down, he would not be able to find any trace of evidence.
"Didn't steal it."
Because she took it.
If someone takes something from their own family, is this considered stealing?
This is just self-picking.
So when Qian Ruoyu said this, his face didn't turn red, his heart didn't beat, and he didn't even pant.
Chu Mobai frowned, and there was a hint of hesitation in his stern expression. He was obviously also considering whether there were any flaws in Qian Ruoyu's words.
But both Qian Ruoyu's tone and Qian Ruoyu's eyes looked so pure and flawless, and they didn't look like they were lying.
Li Zhiyi said: "My lord, she lied, she lied..."
"Our melon has obviously disappeared. Among the servants in the palace, there is no one who dares to do so. It is clearly her..."
Okay, now Li Zhiyi no longer calls her sister, but directly refers to Qian Ruoyu.
"The person who stole the melon was Qian Ruoyu!"
Qian Ruoyu smiled coldly and didn't care at all about Li Zhiyi's nonsense.
She looked at Chu Mobai firmly, and actually looked directly at Chu Mobai without any fear.
Chu Mobai was surprised.
He didn't expect that she would look directly at him like this.
After a moment, Chu Mobai said.
"Since the melons are gone, we will plant them again."
"This matter happened in the palace, or some servant took advantage of it, so let's let it go."
Chu Mobai turned this matter into a major event and a trivial matter with just one word and an understatement, as if it had never happened.
But this is just a matter of a watermelon. For him, the majestic King of the Night, to fight to the end for a watermelon would be too low a price.
After Chu Mobai finished speaking, Qian Ruoyu looked away again.
But Yan'er behind her was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe.
Li Zhiyi stomped her feet lightly, and she came back to her senses at this moment.
If there is no witness, if there is no physical evidence, even if you find a piece of watermelon rind, you can bite Qian Ruoyu to death, not to mention offending Butler Wang because of this matter.
Li Zhiyi felt a little annoyed, but in the end she could only give up.
Chu Mobai looked at nothing and was about to turn around when Qian Ruoyu spoke.
"Wait a minute."
"She, Li Zhiyi, has made three mistakes and hasn't apologized to me yet. Is this the end of the matter?"
"Because a watermelon made a scene in my Yueyage Pavilion and ran away like this, Night King Chu Mobai, your princess is too shameless, isn't she?"
Qian Ruoyu called Chu Mobai by his first name.
Chu Mobai stood there, his tall figure seemed to be deep in thought, and seemed to have a headache.
This family matter was not comparable to war, but it really caused Chu Mobai a lot of trouble.
As soon as Chu Mobai stopped, Qian Ruoyu spoke.
"First of all, it is true that you hurt my maid Yan'er. Your maid is valuable, but you can bully my maid at will?"
"Second, falsely accuse this princess of stealing your melons. You are making false accusations without any basis and the evidence is solid!"
"Thirdly, if you don't respect my sister, don't forget that you are just a concubine and an unqualified concubine."
Qian Ruoyu's tone was extremely domineering, and Chu Mobai's brows furrowed in just three words.
Because judging from the current situation, no matter what Qian Ruoyu said, almost everything was justified, and there was no fault in blaming Li Zhiyi.
Li Zhiyi was also speechless. Just now she was about to leave forcibly because of the three mistakes Qian Ruoyu said, but now Qian Ruoyu mentioned them again.
All these points were well-founded and gave Li Zhiyi no reason to escape.
"Haha, I won't embarrass her. During dinner today, I will ask Li Zhiyi to bow her head to me and pour tea to apologize. I won't care about this matter."
After Chu Mobai heard this, he came to Qian Ruoyu. The distance between him and Qian Ruoyu was only a thin line, and the two of them were almost touching each other.
Qian Ruoyu was also frightened. She did not expect that Chu Mobai would suddenly come over.
Chu Mobai whispered in her ear.
"Woman, don't go too far."
Although his tone was not cold, it was obviously a bit more stern.
Qian Ruoyu also said in a deep voice: "Excessive? I have even more extreme methods."
"If you are still protecting her like this, just let her apologize and I won't hold you accountable!"
Chu Mobai was stunned for a breath.
He distanced himself from Qian Ruoyu again, and the sight of Qian Ruoyu in his eyes seemed to be clearer, as if the woman in front of him was not as bad as the rumors...
