General Chu had been interrogating her outside for several days, but the fake nanny turned out to be a hard-nosed person. She didn't ask any useful words.
The two robbers only knew how to use money to do things. They did not know the true identity of the buyer, let alone ask any questions.
Jun Lingyun frowned slightly. The Xiao family was destroyed and Concubine Rong was under house arrest. But now there is still such a short-sighted person who dares to attack the Chu family.
"Mother Zheng has a high level of seniority in the palace. Even she can't recognize her. This shows that she is not necessarily from the palace. Don't worry, father-in-law, I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. The mastermind behind it will definitely be found."
There are many high-ranking officials in the capital, and each house will have a few loyal slaves. It will take a lot of effort to find them.
General Chu Lao Huai was pleased that he had a reliable son-in-law.
Chu Yunxi, who was still unaware, was playing with the baby's little hand. After looking at it for a long time, she finally looked away from her sister.
"Mom, my sister is so good-looking. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up."
Mrs. Chu laughed.
"You're so young, how can you tell that you look good?"
She hid her injured hand under the quilt, not wanting Chu Yunxi to be upset about her as soon as she returned to Beijing.
"Madam, Crown Princess."
The little maid outside the door came in to report.
"Steward Cao would like to invite the Crown Princess to come over for a moment. He said he has something to discuss."
Mrs. Chu was slightly stunned,
"What happened? Do you still have to let Xi'er handle it personally?"
Chu Yunxi thought that Butler Cao came to her because she didn't want her mother to worry about things, and comforted Mrs. Chu.
"Mom, please rest first while I go and take a look. Maybe Uncle Cao got something good and wants to give me a share."
Her words made Mrs. Chu amused, and her nervousness eased a lot.
"Then go quickly."
When Chu Yunxi came out, he saw Butler Cao pacing on the spot. He looked very anxious.
"Uncle Cao, what's wrong with you?"
Butler Cao raised his eyes and saw Chu Yunxi, and hurriedly led her out.
"Princess, you come with this old slave."
Chu Yunxi glanced at Mrs. Chu's room, thinking that something big must have happened. Otherwise, how could Uncle Cao avoid his mother like this?
She nodded and followed Butler Cao.
After leaving Mrs. Chu's yard, Butler Cao whispered to Chu Yunxi:
"The Crown Princess, Xiao Feifei, just hanged herself."
"What did you say?"
Chu Yunxi was so shocked that his hair stood on end.
"No, not dead, not dead. The maid saw him and saved him."
Butler Cao hurriedly explained. Chu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.
"But why commit suicide?"
Wasn't Xiao Feifei always in a good mood? Why did she suddenly hang herself?
Butler Cao shook his head.
"This old slave doesn't know either. She has been claiming to be ill these past few days and has not even let her go to work. For some reason, she can't think about it anymore."
Chu Yunxi thought, it had been a few months since the Xiao family was destroyed. If Xiao Feifei couldn't think about it because of the Xiao family's affairs, how could she wait until a few months before taking action?
Something must have happened that they don't even know.
"How is she feeling now?"
Butler Cao sighed.
"It wasn't very stable. I just kept crying and didn't say anything when I asked her. That's why I wanted to ask the Crown Princess to have a look."
Chu Yunxi quickened her pace. When she saw Xiao Feifei, she was huddled in the corner alone, with tears on her face. She looked extremely sad and helpless.
Seeing Chu Yunxi coming, she just moved slightly and wrapped herself tighter.
Chu Yunxi stepped forward and squatted in front of Xiao Feifei, but instead of comforting her, she asked:
"I spent fifty thousand taels of silver to buy you. Your life is mine now. Did you forget it so quickly?"
When Xiao Feifei heard this, her lips trembled slightly and she couldn't help crying.
"Why did you save me in the first place? How about letting me die?"
She grabbed her hair and was in agony.
"I am the daughter of the Xiao family. There is no good person in our Xiao family. All the blood flowing in my bones is the blood of sin. Why do you want a person like me to live in the world? Are you not afraid that one day, I will bite you back?
One bite for you?"
Chu Yunxi was shocked by Xiao Feifei's sudden revelation of true feelings. She had always thought that Xiao Feifei was just a spoiled child. She never expected Xiao Feifei to be grateful to her. She saved Xiao Feifei and just stuck to her inner feelings.
belief.
Now it seems that Xiao Feifei has clearly distinguished between right and wrong, which is why she is struggling in her heart. Chu Yunxi answered her question seriously.
"Because you have a heart."
Xiao Feifei stopped crying and thought about the meaning of Chu Yunxi's words.
She has a heart? Who doesn’t have a heart?
"Although you love the wrong person, your love comes from sincerity and is not for profit or calculation."
Chu Yunxi spoke calmly, as if she was analyzing a side of Xiao Feifei that she didn't even know she had.
"Although you have always made things difficult for me every time we meet, you have never plotted against me. You even chose to help me between my love rival and your dearest father in order to protect His Highness."
Xiao Feifei's eyes flickered. Is this what Chu Yunxi sees her like?
When she thought about it, Chu Yunxi easily forgave her for those actions that she would feel ashamed of.
Seeing her reaction, Chu Yunxi persuaded her again.
"Xiao Feifei, people can't choose their own origins, but they can choose their own future. If you really feel that you are burdened with sin, then go and atone for your sins and use up all your strength to be kind to those who have been harmed by the Xiao family.
.When you have atone for the sins in your heart, you will be free."
Forgiveness, freedom? Xiao Feifei looked into Chu Yunxi's eyes with tears in her eyes. She didn't see any disdain, only the sincerity in her eyes.
Chu Yunxi felt that what she had said was enough. If a person does not save himself, how can others save him.
She stood up and prepared to leave. Xiao Feifei behind her suddenly fell to her knees.
"Princess! I know that she has done such a wrong thing and it is really unforgivable. I don't ask you to forgive her. I just ask you not to harm her child."
Chu Yunxi was completely stunned.
"Who is she? What wrong has she done? Why should I harm her child?"
Xiao Feifei bit her lip and couldn't bear it. But if she didn't say it, she would be sorry for Chu Yunxi and couldn't pass the threshold in her heart. She still trembled and confessed:
"That nanny, I, I know who she is."
Chu Yunxi still can't understand, mama? Which mama?
But Butler Cao heard clearly that the general had been interrogating people for several days with no results. Did Xiao Feifei recognize it?
He stepped forward and explained a few words to Chu Yunxi. Because he knew that even if he asked, Xiao Feifei would not necessarily tell. She obviously wanted to confess to Chu Yunxi.
After hearing this, Chu Yunxi felt great pain in her heart. Did her mother go through such a dangerous situation, almost killing two people?
Her eyes turned red instantly, she swallowed, and then she forced herself to calm down and asked:
"who is she?"
Xiao Feifei was heartbroken with grief. She was really going to be alone in the Xiao family.
