"What exactly happened? How did Miss Lu end up being captured by monkeys and taken to the park?"

Seeing that no one responded, Gao Changhong asked again in a deep voice.

His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on the Regent's wife's bewildered expression, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Your Highness, now that this has happened, what do you intend to do?"

"I......"

The Regent's wife, whose name was called, was in a panic. She never expected that she would fail in this matter. She had clearly already asked someone to put the sachet on Su Liluo.

So from the beginning, she never thought about what would happen if she failed, not to mention that she never expected that not only would the matter fail, but it would also harm Lu Zhifu.

Speaking of Lu Zhifu, she was originally his preferred daughter-in-law, but after what happened today, her reputation was damaged and everyone saw her body, so naturally he could no longer consider her.

"Huh? Say something!"

Seeing the Regent's wife stammering, Gao Changhong asked again, sounding annoyed.

"This...this...Bixia, kneel down! I ordered you to watch over these girls, and what did you do? Now Miss Lu has been caught in this mess, do you plead guilty?"

The Regent's wife stammered for a long time, and finally had a flash of inspiration, blaming all the blame on the maid who led Zhifu and the others to see the monkeys.

The maid immediately knelt on the ground in fright and explained, "Your Highness, please spare me! This servant doesn't know what happened. The person standing next to Miss Lu is Miss Su, I don't know if it's Miss Su..."

As Bixia spoke, she looked at Su Liluo with feigned fear and suspicion.

She knew the princess was out of options and wanted to shift the blame onto herself, but she didn't want to die either. So, in her immense fear of death, she quickly came up with a way to escape punishment.

That is to shift the blame onto Su Liluo. Anyway, the princess wanted to harm her, and she just happened to be standing next to Lu Zhifu. The two had a previous conflict, so anyone would think it makes perfect sense.

As expected, the Regent's wife, who had been flustered, suddenly felt relieved upon hearing Bixia's words.

yes!

Even if Su Liluo didn't embarrass herself, this crime must be pinned on her!

"You mean Miss Su pushed Miss Lu?"

Suppressing her excitement, the Regent's wife followed her maid's words and pinned the blame on Su Liluo.

The maid cooperated fully, offering a more obscure explanation: "I... I didn't see very clearly either. I only know that Miss Su was standing next to Miss Lu the whole time. When Miss Lu was being grabbed by the monkey, it seemed that she... she bumped into Miss Lu."

this!

Although he didn't say it clearly, he actually explained the whole story very clearly!

Immediately, everyone looked at Su Liluo with disgust, regarding her as the culprit of today's events.

"Is that so? Miss Su, what explanation do you have for this?"

The Regent's wife feigned surprise, then asked Su Liluo in a pretentious manner.

She refused to believe that Su Lilu could make any excuses in such a helpless and isolated situation!

Now all the women here are her people, and absolutely no one will speak up for her!

Su Liluo was not surprised by this; she had already prepared an explanation.

"Your Highness is wronged! There were so many people there. I was pushed to Miss Lu's side by others. Someone bumped into me, and that's how I came to meet Miss Lu."

And nobody expected the railing to be so fragile; a slight bump could send someone tumbling into the garden!

So what if she was the one who hit him?

But she didn't do it on purpose. How can they blame someone who didn't mean it?

Moreover, she mentioned that railing. If the Regent were to investigate, he would find that the railing had been tampered with beforehand, and it would be immediately clear who was responsible.

Sure enough, after Su Liluo said those words, the Regent's wife was so angry that her eyes turned red.

"Whether it was intentional or not, you were the one who bumped into Miss Lu, weren't you?"

The Regent's wife was so angry that she didn't even want to reason with her anymore and went straight to questioning her.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhifu, who was already terrified and pale, felt like she had found an outlet when she heard that Su Lilu had bumped into her. She completely forgot that she had been dragged in by the monkey and that no one had bumped into her at all.

Her eyes were bloodshot as she cried out in Su Liluo's direction, "You vicious woman, why did you do this to me!"

"Your Highness, look, it was Su Liluo who did it. It was a mistake of yours to bring such a vicious woman into the manor. In my opinion, you should just kick her out!"

Seeing that Lu Zhifu was cooperating with her, the Regent's wife immediately followed suit.

"Yes, Your Highness, you should send me away, so I won't be left here to cause trouble for everyone in the palace."

Su Liluo spread her hands, looking at the Regent Prince with complete indifference, and even a hint of a smile in the depths of her eyes.

Gao Changhong took a deep breath and glanced at the broken railing out of the corner of his eye.

Then, he said in a deep voice, "Drag this Bixia out and beat her to death! She failed to take good care of the guests, put them in danger, and even tried to frame them with lies. She deserves to die!"

"Your Highness, spare me! Your Highness!"

Bixia screamed in terror, not knowing why the prince, who was perfectly fine, wanted to execute her again.

She begged for mercy in fear and cast a pleading look at the Regent's wife.

The Regent's wife was also very angry that Gao Changhong once again defended Su Liluo, but there was nothing she could do. If this matter were investigated thoroughly, it would be found that she was the one who did it.

Now, Gao Changhong was only executing a maid, which was already giving her face, so she couldn't say anything more, only giving Bixia a warning look.

When Bixia met the Regent's gaze, she suddenly thought of her elderly mother who was still working in the kitchen of the palace, and her seven-year-old brother. Instantly, she felt utterly hopeless and obediently allowed herself to be taken away.

Afterwards, Gao Changhong had the crazy and crying Lu Zhifu taken away, and took the Lu family aside to comfort them and give them a lot of benefits before the matter was considered settled.

After this incident, the Regent's wife naturally lost the will to play any more tricks and could only leave with her entourage, clearly displeased.

Before leaving, she walked up to Su Liluo and gave her a deep look.

"No wonder Feifei was harmed so badly by you in Daliang. You really are no simple woman! But don't be too smug. I am still the mistress of the Regent's Palace!"

As long as she lives, even if Gao Junning marries her, she will not let her have an easy time.

Su Liluo chuckled lightly: "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Do you think I really care about your dilapidated royal mansion?"

"you---"

The Regent's wife looked at Su Liluo in surprise, not understanding the meaning behind her words.

However, Su Liluo did not explain in detail and turned to leave.

The Regent's wife could only grit her teeth in anger.
