Seeing that Fu Yunqi didn't respond, Baitao looked at Tingfeng behind him as if asking for help, hoping that he could help with a word, but she didn't expect that Tingfeng would turn his face away and ignore her at all.
Seeing that they all turned a blind eye, Baitao couldn't bear it any longer and stood up and said hurriedly: "I have always been with the princess. The relationship between Master Fang and the princess is innocent. I can guarantee it with my life!"
"Prince...Princess, she..." Tingfeng called softly, but lowered his head again under Fu Yunqi's eyes. His back molars were clenched, and there were faint blue veins pulsing in his forehead.
"Madam!" Cai'er called loudly from afar, "The person on duty tonight is here!" She was seen walking towards this side with a smile on her lips, followed by two little maids.
Chu Miao'er had no idea what He Runjia was making, so he only took a moment to glance around the people present. His uncle and aunt were not here. They must have been drunk and unconscious, so that such a big commotion occurred.
Most of the people in the house had arrived but they were nowhere to be seen. But the eldest aunt was silently mingling among the crowd, as if she just wanted to watch the fun.
"Are you on duty tonight?" He Runjia stepped forward, looked at the two of them with a smile, and said lightly, "Why did you let the man enter the inner courtyard?"
The two maids were already trembling with fear when they saw so many people. Then He Runjia asked again. They both looked up at the courtyard and saw a strange man with a beautiful tree standing in the courtyard.
They immediately felt anxious and uneasy. Why would a man come in? They had been patrolling just now and didn't hear any movement!
After the two of them looked at each other, they knelt down on the ground and said tremblingly: "Back to... Miss, we are indeed on duty tonight, but we have been patrolling nearby and have not seen anyone suspicious.
The appearance of...this...young master..."
Seeing that she couldn't say anything for a long time, one of them thought for a moment and then answered as if he had made up his mind: "The slaves don't know how this young master got in!"
They were right. How could the two servants know how Fang Yanru had come to the inner courtyard of the family without a trace by hiding from the many servants at the gate and the front hall, because it was He Runjia who opened the back door for him.
There used to be a library in the He Mansion. It is said that Mr. He built it for the convenience of collecting all kinds of rare books. However, later on, except for Chu Miaoer's mother Xijing who loved to stay in the library, there was nothing else in the He Mansion on weekdays.
People come in. Even more so since her mother and the old lady of He Mansion left. Now, except for Shu Qingqing who arranges for someone to clean it every three to five times, almost no one sets foot there.
But this time He Jiarun took advantage of this opportunity and let Fang Yanru come in through the back door of the library. After all, Chu Miaoer's courtyard was just a path away from the library. It was quiet at night and no one noticed.
"Hmph, you are on duty tonight, how come you don't know that outsiders are coming in and out?" He Runjia snorted coldly and said, "Then even if you don't know, what can you say when people are standing in front of you now? Could it be that I framed the fault?
You can’t do it?!”
Today, He Runjia went to the Fang Mansion to see him, and his words were full of hints. If he still has the slightest affection for Chu Miaoer, then he will definitely come tonight. If he comes, wouldn't this be a plan to kill two birds with one stone?
She vented her anger, which created a gap between Chu Miaoer and Fu Yunqi. She couldn't be blamed for all this. Fang Yanru was worried about Chu Miaoer, who broke into the house over the wall. What did it have to do with her?
Dry.
Hearing what she said, the two little maids did not dare to talk back even though they had a huge burden on them. They could only kowtow aggrievedly and said: "Miss, please forgive me, Miss, please forgive me, this slave deserves to die..."
"Come here!" He Runjia said in a pretentious manner, "These two people neglected their duties during their duty and let a man with a foreign surname enter the house..." She briefly glanced at Chu Miao'er before speaking slowly, "This has caused the princess's reputation to be damaged," and then
He returned his eyes to the two kneeling people and said sternly, "The most unforgivable thing! Drive these two people out of the house quickly, don't let me see them again!"
Since it is your own chess piece, you can throw it away if it is of no use, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble if you keep it.
After listening for so long, Fang Yanru finally figured out the ins and outs of all this. He suddenly became ashamed and angry, looked at He Runjia in disbelief, and shouted loudly: "Wait a minute!"
He Runjia watched him walking towards her quickly, feeling a little apprehensive in her heart. She turned sideways without making any contact with his eyes, fearing that she would reveal her timidity. She cleared her throat and said, "Mr. Fang, you and Cousin Miao'er
It was indeed a good relationship that everyone praised in the past, but now that you are married, you should abide by the rules. You are actually able to do this thing like breaking into a purdah at night..."
"You! -" Fang Yanru is a scholar with an innocent family background after all, so how can he be He Runjia's opponent in terms of being a scoundrel? At this moment, he was so disgusted with He Runjia's behavior that he gritted his teeth and raised his fingers to shout at He Runjia, "
It's you! It's..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wen Yuening, who was watching the excitement without taking it too seriously, stood up again, pulled He Runjia behind him like an eagle protecting its calf, and said in a sinister tone: "Master Fang, please don't slander anyone, our He family
Everyone above and below is watching. Jia'er has never left the banquet, so how can he guide you? Everyone in Dongling knows about you and Miao'er. It's just your own selfish desires to climb over the wall and enter the hospital now. No wonder
anyone!"
Wen Yuening's words were like a basin of cold water pouring over Fang Yanru's whole body. It turned out that he had been a pawn in the hands of others from the beginning to the end. He desperately thought that he could take Chu Miao'er away, but he did not expect that in the end they would fall into each other's hands.
this situation.
"Fourth Prince," Fang Yanru's voice suddenly changed. He turned to look at Fu Yunqi and said, "I came here secretly tonight. Miao... the Fourth Princess didn't know about this. Please don't blame her,
It's all my fault."
Fu Yunqi stood with his hands behind his back, facing everyone calmly. No matter how many eyes were focused on him, they just looked at Chu Miao'er quietly without speaking. Chu Miao'er also looked back at him.
His calm expression was as clear as the breeze and the bright moon, as if everything happening now had nothing to do with him.
Obviously all this happened because of her, why, why could she stay out of it?! He Runjia looked at Chu Miaoer's indifferent expression, and a fire quickly rose in his heart.
"How could this be one person's fault?! Wouldn't it be so chilling if Cousin Miao'er didn't speak up for Master Fang now!" He Runjia spoke anxiously, hinting at what Fang could do at the banquet tonight.
Coming here was the tacit consent of Chu Miaoer, and the two of them had a secret meeting late at night!
Her words made Wen Yuening tremble. He quickly reached out to cover her mouth and reminded in a low voice: "She is the princess!" He Runjia angrily threw away his mother's hand, raised eyebrows and tightened his lips.
He looked like he was about to rush forward and curse in the next second.
"What's going on?" Shu Qingqing, who had disappeared for a long time, finally appeared, "I heard you guys making noise here from afar. What are you doing in Miao'er's courtyard without sleeping in the middle of the night?" She said in Zhixia
He walked quickly with the help of others, his black hair simply tied behind him, as if he had just been woken up from bed and rushed over.
When everyone saw her coming, they all retreated to both sides to make way for her.
Even though Zhixia had told her the general story of the matter on the way here, Shu Qingqing's temples suddenly jumped when she saw Fang Yanru in person.
Her head that was still dizzy suddenly came to her senses, and she said in a deep voice: "With so many people standing here, are they busy with what they are doing? Do you need me to assign you some additional things?"
?
Hearing what she said, everyone looked at each other speechless. They were all called by the eldest lady, saying that they would follow her and not leave her for a moment. But now the second lady is in charge, and since the second lady has spoken...
He Runjia finally caught the opportunity to make Chu Miao'er look embarrassed. She would never let it go. The more people know about it, the better. She stopped him and said: "No one is allowed to leave. You are all witnesses who have witnessed it."
, if they all left, wouldn’t the prince say that I was talking nonsense here to frame the princess!?”
These people didn't want to leave or stay. They stood there with their heads lowered consciously.
"Jia'er, do you have to make a fuss that can't be stopped before you give up?" Shu Qingqing rarely showed a disappointed look, "Have you planned to ask Miao'er to Ling'an Temple today? It was also your plan to reunite with Master Fang.
? I thought you would improve a little bit over the years, but I didn’t expect you to still..."
"Uncle!" He Runjia interrupted her sharply and said with a half-smile, "You can ask Mr. Fang if I have any contact with him on weekdays, and how can I figure out when he went to Ling'an Temple and when?
Come to her courtyard? Auntie can also ask Baitao if cousin Miaoer shed tears for Master Fang today. If the two of them have the same mind, they will be close to each other."
Baitao was frightened when she heard this. She still remembered how the princess cried for no reason during the day, but at this time, He Runjia made a big fuss out of it.
"Princess," seeing that Tingfeng had always turned a blind eye to her, she lowered her voice and said anxiously, "why did the prince not speak since he came in? Is that right?..."
She didn't know what Fu Yunqi was thinking at this time, but she was sure that Fu Yunqi's eyes did not change because of He Runjia's words.
"It's my fault, it's all my fault!" Fang Yanru covered her head and shouted in pain, "I shouldn't have been wishful thinking, please kill me!"
As soon as these words came out, Shu Qingqing and everyone present turned to look at him instantly, with shock in their eyes. Only He Runjia had a smile of success. It was just a cheap life. He would die if he wanted to. What did it have to do with her?
!
"No!" Chu Miao'er shouted to stop him from kneeling down, and quickly lifted his body up. "Young Master Fang is worthy of heaven and earth, and even more worthy of the prince and me. There is no need to be like this."
At this time, Fu Yunqi's eyes began to fluctuate a little. Chu Miaoer calmly watched him slowly walking towards her, her calm heart feeling inexplicably uneasy.
"I really shouldn't have let you alone in the yard." He stopped one meter away from her and said calmly.
