Chapter 566 Why is it you?
"Where does that come from?" The Sixth Princess scolded angrily. Du Ting, who was standing beside her, looked at her meaningfully and said, "Sixth Princess, that's not the cry of a wild cat."
"Let's go in and take a look. Today is Prince Duan's birthday. How dare they disgrace themselves here and do such a dirty thing!" Du Ting looked like a winner. He quickened his pace and could not hide the excitement in his eyes.
The Sixth Princess gritted her teeth and hurriedly followed. Du Ting brought a lot of people with him. Everyone was holding lanterns and swarmed over. Soon, they saw who the people were.
"Why are you here?" Du Ting's face darkened when he saw his sister.
"Sister, I, I was drugged, I..." Du Rong picked up the messy clothes and put them on randomly to cover her face.
"Oh, isn't this my second sister-in-law's younger sister?" The Sixth Princess was relieved when she saw Du Rong. Before, Du Rong followed Du Ting and was as proud as a little peacock, but now, she was in such a miserable state that she wished she could die.
"Let me see who this wild man is!" The Sixth Princess felt a breath of anger suffocating in her heart, but fortunately, it was not her Third Sister-in-law.
The Sixth Princess shouted, and soon, she caught the man. The moment she saw the man, Du Ting stared at Du Rong, his eyes like knives. Du Rong shuddered, and suddenly, she had an idea, and knelt directly in front of Du Ting: "Sister, I have tarnished the reputation of the Du family. I am willing to die to prove my innocence."
Du Rong jumped directly into the pool beside the bamboo forest. With a splash, the splashing water fell on her hands, making her feel cold to the bone.
"Someone come, send someone to rescue them." Du Ting took a deep breath, and the moment he saw the man clearly, Du Ting was so angry that he fell backwards. This, this is even worse than that young master Wang?
Prince Wang's family had fallen on hard times, so he had to save face. The man before him was a notorious playboy in the capital. After being caught, he turned the tables and said, "Princess Duan, Miss Du Rong and I are in love. I have the jade pendant as proof. I am willing to marry Miss Du Rong."
The man expressed his attitude seriously and took out Du Rong's jade pendant. He looked at Du Rong who fell into the water and said, "Someone, come and save Miss Du."
"Hmph." Du Ting snorted coldly and said, "I will find out the truth of the matter myself!"
"It's so lively, what happened here?" Xiao Jiuyue arrived late.
"Third sister-in-law." The Sixth Princess quickly told Xiao Jiuyue what had just happened. Xiao Jiuyue said puzzledly, "When I passed by the bamboo forest just now, I saw it was too dark, so I didn't go in. On the way, I ran into Concubine Min who had sprained her ankle, so I sent her back to the palace."
"My mother sprained her ankle?" When the Sixth Princess heard that her mother had sprained her ankle, she didn't even want to watch the excitement and immediately asked, "How is my mother?"
"Just take a good rest for a few days and you'll be fine." Xiao Jiuyue said comfortingly.
The Sixth Princess was still worried, so she went back to see Concubine Min immediately.
"You, you really didn't enter the bamboo forest just now?" Du Ting stared at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Just now a palace maid said that you clearly entered the bamboo forest!"
"They must have misjudged me." Xiao Jiuyue said firmly, her face darkening. She said, "I just sent Concubine Min back to the palace. There were witnesses along the way. So, is my suspicion of your sister-in-law's involvement with me?"
"Your sister is secretly having an affair with someone else. What does that have to do with my princess?" Dong Gui protected Xiao Jiuyue. If they had not been prepared in advance and knocked down the martial arts master in the bamboo forest and killed him directly, they were afraid that the person who would be blamed by everyone would be their own princess.
"Donggui." Xiao Jiuyue interrupted her coldly, looking at Du Ting without any apology, and said, "The people around me care about me too much. Don't mind what they say, sister-in-law. No matter what the facts are, produce evidence. Otherwise, even if it comes to the emperor, I will seek justice for myself."
After saying that, Xiao Jiuyue turned around and left. She would not fall into the trap of self-proof. Whoever makes the claim must provide the evidence.
Xiao Jiuyue, who had a strong attitude, had no intention of giving Du Ting any attention. When Du Rong was rescued, Du Ting settled her down first. She also wanted to win back Yan Mei for her sister, but the young master of the Lin family even took out his personal jade pendant, insisting that they were in love with each other!
Du Ting was exhausted and could no longer care about anything else. She sent Du Rong back to her room and immediately sent for her mother. She had originally wanted to use this opportunity to make Du Rong famous so that she could find a good husband in the future, but who knew...
"Du Rong, why are you there?" Du Ting asked Du Rong, who was shivering from the cold.
Du Rong cried and said, "I don't know either. I just followed your instructions and waited for Princess Ling to enter the bamboo forest. I waited for a long time but she didn't come out, so I went in to take a look. Who knows, who knows..."
Du Rong felt cold and uncomfortable, crying breathlessly.
"That's impossible! How could the martial arts master I specially found not show up?" Du Ting had spent a huge sum of money to hire a martial arts master in order to pin Xiao Jiuyue into the mud this time, but how come Xiao Jiuyue was fine while Du Rong was in trouble?
Du Ting was puzzled, while Xiao Jiuyue took Donggui back to listen to the opera. Not long after, the emperor issued an order for everyone to leave the palace.
The patrol guards in the palace were significantly strengthened. Everyone left the palace for unknown reasons. Xiao Jiuyue guessed something and just as she left the palace, she saw Guo Sheng coming up to her. "Princess, the prince will leave the palace for a while. Let me escort you back to the palace!"
"Yes." Xiao Jiuyue replied softly as she got on the carriage and asked, "How is the prince?"
"Okay." Guo Sheng's answer made Xiao Jiuyue feel relieved. Today's chaotic day was not in vain.
She closed her eyes and her mind went back to the moment when she entered the bamboo forest. Then there was smoke, and finally a martial arts master appeared, with very good skills. If Dong Gui had not been familiar with the palace and had not quietly called the people from the Anbu over, she would have really been tricked!
After subduing the martial arts master, Dong Gui immediately took Xiao Jiuyue away. She happened to run into Concubine Min who had sprained her ankle, so she escorted Concubine Min back to the palace.
Fortunately, her master had already prepared a pill that was immune to all poisons for her, otherwise, it would have been difficult to deal with the smoke.
"Princess, that person has been handed over to Lan Ying." Dong Gui said in a low voice, and Xiao Jiuyue responded: "Well, let the prince's people worry about it."
After returning to the palace, Xiao Jiuyue waited until dark but Jun Lie still didn't come back. After reheating the dishes on the table two or three times, she started eating first and asked someone to reserve food in the kitchen.
"Hmm?" Xiao Jiuyue woke up from the couch and saw Jun Lie walking into the room cautiously.
"Did I wake you up?" Jun Lie took off his cloak and asked, "Why didn't you go to bed?"
"Waiting for you." Xiao Jiuyue looked at him and made sure that he was okay. Then he yawned with relief and fell asleep while reading a book on the couch. Now he was not sleepy at all.
