The Thirteenth Princess choked and said angrily: "How does Concubine Wen know this is nonsense?"
Concubine Wen looked at her coldly and pointed at Hu Hongzhi: "Can the princess take the nonsense that such a person says seriously? It's too ridiculous. The princess can't just believe everything he says just because he is your cousin, right?
"
Everyone looked at the thirteenth princess, and then at Hu Hongzhi, who was kneeling on the ground in a state of embarrassment, their expressions changing.
The Thirteenth Princess snorted coldly: "It's true that he is my cousin, but I am not partial to him. He just said it himself that the Eighth Sister asked him to have a private meeting. I couldn't have taught him this, right?"
After saying that, the Thirteenth Princess looked at the others: "You all heard it, right?"
Ladies, you look at me and I look at you.
No one dared to answer the call.
The Eighth Princess is the only daughter of Concubine Wen, and she was engaged to the Wen family's son early, so she has always had a good reputation in the palace.
Now Hu Hongzhi appeared out of thin air and actually said that the Eighth Princess asked him to have a private meeting. This...
If this were true, wouldn't it mean that Mr. Wen was cuckolded?
Not to mention the eighth princess's reputation being ruined, even Concubine Wen's own reputation and the entire Wen family's reputation will be affected.
How could Concubine Wen recognize it?
"What a joke!"
Concubine Wen's face turned cold and she looked at the Thirteenth Princess: "According to the princess' wishes, whatever he says will be whatever it is. It only takes one sentence to spread rumors without even using evidence?"
The Thirteenth Princess was speechless for a moment, then curled her lips: "If it's just a rumor, then why didn't he talk about other people but Eighth Sister?"
Concubine Wen sneered: "I have to ask him about this."
Concubine Wen stepped forward and looked at Hu Hongzhi condescendingly: "I want to ask you, you said it was the garden where the eighth princess invited you to go. Do you have any evidence?"
"Proof...evidence..." Hu Hongzhi stammered and subconsciously looked at the Thirteenth Princess.
The Thirteenth Princess just wanted to speak.
Concubine Wen suddenly glanced at her and sneered: "I am asking Hu Hongzhi now, so the Thirteenth Princess doesn't need to help answer it, right?"
Concubine Shu saw that the matter involved Concubine Wen and her daughter and had nothing to do with her, so she was happy to watch the show: "Thirteen, don't interrupt, let him speak for himself."
Prince Xiang simply stepped forward, pulled the thirteenth princess aside, frowned and said: "Why are you, a girl, getting involved in such a thing? Shut up and stop talking nonsense."
Thirteenth Princess: "..."
Concubine Wen looked at Hu Hongzhi coldly: "Go ahead."
Without the advice from the Thirteenth Princess, Hu Hongzhi was so panicked that he didn't even know how to make up a lie. He could only bite the bullet and stammered: "I really didn't lie, really... really...
The eighth princess asked me to go to the garden. She is a princess, and I...I didn't dare to refuse, so I went, and later..."
Concubine Wen interrupted: "That's not what I want to hear."
Hu Hongzhi: "..."
"You said that the eighth princess asked you to go, who saw it? Who can prove that you are not talking nonsense?"
Concubine Wen was condescending, with a cold and majestic expression: "Hu Hongzhi, do you know what the crime is of slandering the princess and tarnishing the reputation of the royal family?"
"..." Cold sweat ran down Hu Hongzhi's forehead.
He was panicked, his eyes flickered, and he subconsciously looked towards the Thirteenth Princess.
This situation was completely different from what he expected!
