Chapter 147 The Product of a Ridiculous Night

The guests had already left, and even Gu Yun was taken away by the servants.

It's not good for children to hear such dirty things.

But Prince Su left and came back.

He is a prince, he can't just kick people out...

The autumn wind is bleak and fallen leaves are scattered all over the ground.

Gu Chengyan's face was as cold as frost, and his eyes were like frozen ponds, full of anger and disgust, staring at Chu Nanxin in front of him.

"Chu Nanxin, you are really good at this!"

Gu Chengyan's voice was low and cold, like a judgment from hell, and every word was filled with endless mockery.

"Whose bastard is this in your belly? Don't try to fool me with any more tricks!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his big, bony hands tightly gripped Chu Nanxin's neck.

Time and again, his reputation was ruined by Chu Nanxin, and he wished he could strangle her to death.

Chu Nanxin instinctively grabbed Gu Chengyan's wrist, his breathing became rapid and difficult, and his face gradually turned an abnormal bluish purple.

"Cheng Yan..." She squeezed out a few words with difficulty, "I didn't... I was slandered. Don't be fooled by others!"

As he said this, he glanced at Chu Ruohan.

Gu Chengyan's hand that was pinching her neck loosened slightly unconsciously. Could it be that the vicious woman was plotting against him again this time?

Chu Ruohan saw everyone's eyes on her, and her eyes swept over everyone quietly, finally stopping on the maid who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.

"Qiuxiang, you come from the Chu family, and you've been serving Nanxin all this time," Chu Ruohan said in a gentle voice, yet with a certain undeniable authority. "You must provide evidence when you speak. Casually defaming your master is a capital offense."

She changed the subject and continued, "But if you really have solid evidence to prove that what you said is true, as the wife of the Crown Prince of Anyang Marquis's Mansion, I will never favor my sister."

As she spoke, she sighed softly, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and pretended to be heartbroken. "After all, this concerns the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion and Nan Xin's reputation. I am really worried."

When Qiuxiang heard this, she suddenly raised her head as if she had received an instruction, and the bruise on her forehead looked particularly glaring.

"Young Madam, I really didn't lie! Over a month ago, I saw Concubine Chu having a night out with a man."

When Gu Chengyan heard this, the rage in his eyes intensified. A month ago, it was Chu Nanxin who was sent back to the Chu family. How dare she cheat on him?

Do you still want him to be the father of the bastard in your belly?

Prince Su felt a little guilty. Wasn't it a month ago when he was drugged and had a night of love with Chu Nanxin?

Could this child be?

He had no children, and the Crown Prince, an older, married prince, had a son who was deeply loved by his father...

Chu Nanxin pointed at Qiuxiang, "You...you bastard who's full of nonsense! When have I ever done anything like this? It's obvious that you were instigated by someone to frame me!"

Chu Nanxin is still thinking of dragging Chu Ruohan into the water!

Not only could she not admit it, she had to drag it out, stalling for time, leaving Aunt Fang to think of a solution.

"Chengyan, you must believe me..."

Gu Chengyan's chest heaved violently, veins popped out on his forehead. He turned around abruptly and kicked over the carved chair next to him.

A loud "bang" echoed in the main hall, startling everyone and making them shrink back.

"She is the personal maid you brought back from the Chu family. How else do you want to argue?"

Gu Chengyan stared at her, "Chu Nanxin, do you think I, Gu Chengyan, am a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated? You did such a shameful thing and still tried to get away with it!"

Chu Nanxin's eyes were red and tears were welling up in them. She said pitifully but firmly, "Cheng Yan, I swear to God, there must be a misunderstanding! Qiu Xiang suddenly slandered me like this, there must be someone behind it."

Prince Su watched this farce from the side, feeling secretly anxious.

The absurdity of what happened between him and Chu Nanxin that night must not be exposed.

At this moment, he must find a way to help Chu Nanxin clear his suspicion, otherwise once the matter is exposed, not only will Chu Nanxin be doomed, but he himself will also be discredited.

Prince Su coughed lightly, stepped forward, and said, "There are many doubts in this matter. It is difficult to make a conclusion based on the one-sided statement of a maid."

"In my opinion, it is better to calm down and conduct a thorough investigation to avoid wrongly accusing a good person."

His words calmed Gu Chengyan's anger a little.

He looked at Prince Su, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He wanted to join Prince Su, but why would Prince Su want to wade into this muddy water?

Every word was directed towards Chu Nanxin...

But when he thought that Chu Nanxin might betray him, the anger in his heart was hard to suppress.

Just when everyone was in a stalemate, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Xier hurried into the main hall, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

Seeing the tense atmosphere in the hall, she was slightly stunned, then quickly looked at Chu Nanxin, and knelt down with a thud.

"My Lord, this servant...this servant has something important to report."

Marquis Anyang remained silent, pondering Prince Su's intentions.

He regarded Gu Chengyan as his only heir, so naturally he didn't want him to have such a stain.

Marquis Anyang looked at the maid with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice, "Speak..."

Xier took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at Anyang Hou with a firm gaze. She then turned to look at Gu Chengyan and said, "My Lord, I think there's something fishy about this matter. Qiuxiang is a girl who is always sneaky."

Xier said as she took out a small purse from her bosom and handed it to Gu Chengyan, saying, "Third Master, this is what I found in Qiuxiang's room."

"A few days ago, I happened to see Yuling, who was beside the young lady, secretly giving Qiuxiang a purse. I thought it was strange at the time, but I didn't expect to find this in Qiuxiang's room today."

"This purse has the name of the young lady embroidered on it. I guess she gave it to Qiuxiang as a reward."

"Sister," Chu Nanxin said with tears in her eyes, "How could you do this? You are my biological sister. We are both from the Chu family and we are of the same blood!"

"My reputation is ruined. How can the women of the Chu family hold their heads high?"

"Sister, even if you hate me, you still have to consider mother and the others..."

As she spoke, she gently wiped the tears that kept flowing from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and the handkerchief was soon soaked.

Chu Ruohan narrowed her eyes slightly, and even curled up a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, but there was a hint of mockery and disdain in that smile.

She stood up slowly, folded her hands in front of her, and looked dignified.

Chu Ruohan's voice was clear and pleasant, echoing clearly in the main hall. "Xi'er, you said that Yuling gave Qiuxiang this purse, and that my name was embroidered on it. It's a bit far-fetched to conclude that I was the one who instigated Qiuxiang to frame her.
