For a moment, the maids and old women all looked at Zhu Xianyue with distressed eyes.

"Wuwuwu..." Zhu Xianyue kept crying.

The most important thing for a girl is face.

There was a long cut on Zhu Xianyue's face, with the skin and flesh turned inside out and blood oozing out.

It looks like...it will leave scars.

This means that Zhu Xianyue's reputation is ruined and she will never be able to marry a good husband in the future.

This matter was of great importance, and Madam Zhu and Minister Zhu arrived quickly, followed closely by Shen Jinchuan.

Now Shen Jinchuan is considered Zhu Xianyue's cousin-in-law. In order to avoid suspicion, it is better for the two not to meet.

So Zhu Xianyue turned around and wanted to go back to the room.

But Shen Jinchuan, who rushed over, had already seen the wound on Zhu Xianyue's face.

The blood soaked a large area of ​​Zhu Xianyue's clothes, which was shocking to see.

Shen Jinchuan felt heartbroken and regretful.

Zhu Xianyue's appearance was ruined, and she no longer had the title of "the most beautiful woman in Shangjing City".

He thought that if Zhu Xianyue was really unwanted and not worthy of being a concubine in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he would be willing to keep her as his mistress.

After all, there have been so many years of friendship.

However, now is not the right time to take her in.

"Xing'er, how are you?"

Shen Jinchuan helped Zhu Luoxing up.

Zhu Luoxing leaned softly against Shen Jinchuan and said, “It was my cousin who scratched her face with my nails. She inexplicably said that I insulted her and couldn’t help but hit her… But my husband, Xing’er is not that kind of person!”

Her argument seemed a little weak.

Who would believe that Zhu Xianyue would scratch her own face.

Minister Zhu asked the servants what was going on.

Most of the maids and old women in the courtyard were Zhu Shangshu's confidants, so he was not worried that they were hiding something from him.

An elderly maid said, "It happened suddenly, and we don't know what happened. We just... heard the eldest lady crying weakly from afar, and then she and... and Madam Shen started to wrestle. When we got closer, we saw the scene you saw, Master..."

The old woman was telling the truth.

But when everyone heard this, they realized that it was Zhu Luoxing who was the first to instigate.

The weak are always sympathized with.

Zhu Xianyue was simply giving the other person a taste of his own medicine.

At this moment she is hiding in the room.

When Zhu Luoxing was about to defend himself, Zhu Xianyue suddenly said a few words -

"Father, Mother, Cousin-in-law, please don't blame Xing'er. Xing'er is right. I was the one who initiated this. I... was jealous that Xing'er married Jinchuan... so I... deliberately created this incident..."

She spoke incoherently and haltingly, and it was obvious that she was lying on the spur of the moment.

This wasn't an admission of guilt at all; she was clearly trying to save the reputation of her married cousin.

"That's enough, Yue'er, please stop talking. Your father has already hired a doctor from the palace to treat you to the best of his ability."

The person who came out to protect Zhu Xianyue was actually Minister Zhu.

What Minister Zhu liked back then was the knowledge and good manners of his concubine, and he also thought that her daughter Zhu Luoxing was also a weak little innocent girl who needed to be well cared for.

Therefore, he was dissatisfied with Madam Zhu and Zhu Xianyue.

But Mrs. Zhu is fine, Zhu Xianyue is also his biological daughter, a pampered girl who has been held in his arms and coaxed since birth.

What happened today was Zhu Luoxing's fault. He had never expected that Zhu Luoxing would be such a woman.

I just hope Shen Jinchuan doesn't blame her too much.

Although Minister Zhu and Shen Jinchuan have interests involved, but... he is the legitimate son of the Duke of Zhenguo after all.
