The Third Prince's wife's eyes were bloodshot; she was practically ready to point at Princess Jia Hua's nose and call her an ingrate.
At that moment, everyone in the room turned their gaze toward Princess Jiahua.
Even Empress Yan looked puzzled.
"Third sister-in-law, please watch your words. Jia Hua is not the heartless and ungrateful person you describe." The Seventh Prince stepped forward to block Princess Jia Hua, his gaze intense: "Besides, Jia Hua has never mentioned how the Empress treats her."
"Then why doesn't the seventh son's wife explain more?"
How do you explain this?
"That day, when Miss Xu caused trouble at the palace gate, I saw your carriage. Miss Xu called out that Seventh Prince's wife was also punished. Why didn't Seventh Prince's wife get off the carriage and say a few words in her defense?" the Third Prince's wife asked angrily.
The Seventh Prince frowned: "Since Third Sister-in-law is also here, why not get off the carriage and explain?"
The Third Prince's wife's face flushed red from the sudden choking.
"Although Jia Hua has been in the Southern Frontier for three years, she has not left her home, has not met anyone, and is unaware of the past. Moreover, she is of low status and her words may not be believed by anyone."
Hearing the Seventh Prince defend Princess Jia Hua, the Third Prince's eyes darkened slightly as he glanced at Empress Yan on the couch.
Princess Jiahua also saw Empress Yan's fist slowly clench.
"Your Highness." Princess Jia Hua gently tugged at the Seventh Prince's sleeve. The two exchanged a glance, and the Seventh Prince took a half step back.
Princess Jia Hua's gaze met that of the Third Prince's wife, and she asked in a low voice, "Is Third Sister-in-law blaming me?"
The Third Prince's wife moved her red lips and said that's not what she meant.
"Third Sister-in-law keeps saying that Her Majesty has protected me for three years. Tell me, who in Jincheng could not tolerate me?" Princess Jiahua raised her eyebrows and turned her gaze to Empress Yan: "Furthermore, Her Majesty did indeed warn me not to approach His Highness and to kneel as punishment every day. Isn't that the truth?"
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
The Third Prince's wife gasped.
Empress Yan was so angry that her face turned pale. She raised her eyes and stared at Princess Jia Hua with a deep look: "Seventh Prince's wife... how could you lie?"
Princess Jia Hua pointed at the Third Prince's wife: "Third sister-in-law is also a witness. That day, Her Majesty intercepted the letter sent by Northern Chu. Third sister-in-law's words were piercing to the heart, and she even laughed at my lowliness."
"You're talking nonsense!" The Third Prince's wife's eyelids twitched, and she denied it outright. She quickly looked at the Seventh Prince and said, "Seventh Prince, this is not true. She's talking nonsense. You must not believe her."
Seeing that he was about to be implicated, the Third Prince couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly explained, "Seventh Prince, all these years your Third Sister-in-law has just been a bit straightforward. She would never frame someone. Please don't believe her."
As she spoke, Princess Jia Hua's palms became slightly sweaty.
She doesn't care what other people think.
As long as the Seventh Prince stands on her side, she has won.
Today, she deliberately stirred up trouble between the Seventh Prince and the Third Prince. Only in this way would the Seventh Prince not have any intention of giving the throne to the Third Prince.
The Seventh Prince coldly snorted: "What does it mean that Third Brother defends Third Sister-in-law and belittles my wife? I believe Jia Hua."
Princess Jia Hua breathed a sigh of relief immediately upon hearing this.
The Third Prince and his wife turned pale instantly. The Third Prince seemed to realize something and wanted to explain, but then Empress Yan's voice came from behind: "Seventh Prince, I did intercept some letters, but that's because I didn't want you to be deceived. Seventh Prince's wife, I have always protected you and didn't want the Seventh Prince to be disgraced. Now, I can't care about anything else."
Empress Yan gave a wink to one of the palace maids.
The palace maid immediately brought the letter and handed it to the seventh prince.
"Third son's wife, you should confess voluntarily, lest the last veil of shame be torn off and you lose face!" Empress Yan said.
Princess Jia Hua raised an eyebrow. Was she getting anxious?
"Yes, Her Majesty has been so kind to you, yet you turned around and accused her. It's truly heartbreaking."
The Third Prince's wife complained.
Seeing that Princess Jia Hua remained silent, Empress Yan forced herself to sit up and said in an extremely cold tone, "Seventh Prince, do you know that your wife has an old flame in Northern Chu? He is also a prince, and for so many years she has been sending letters to the Seventh Prince's residence, the contents of which are truly appalling..."
The seventh prince took a stack of letters.
Empress Yan continued, "This matter could be a big deal or a small one. At the very least, it's considered adultery and infidelity; at worst, it could be treason! Who knows if there are any hidden codes in this letter that we can't understand? I'm just giving you a few pointers."
Hatred flashed in Empress Yan's eyes as she stared intently at Princess Jiahua, who was clutching the Seventh Prince's sleeve, wishing she could cut off those hands.
hateful!
Princess Jia Hua pursed her lips.
Xiao Wu has always been bold in her words, and she had previously written some things about bringing her back to Beijing.
If you look at it from a different perspective, some things are no different from treason.
She looked at the Seventh Prince.
All eyes were on him.
