Chapter 162 What to do? I think the noble lady Hui knows better than me

. The sudden sound in the middle of the night was particularly obvious.

Cheng Jin turned around subconsciously and saw Qu Wanxin walking towards her with the maids beside her.

She glanced at Pei Yu beside Cheng Jin several times. Although she didn't say anything, she couldn't hide her joy in her eyes.

Qu Wanxin walked to the opposite side of Cheng Jin and pretended not to know what was going on.

"Noble Concubine Rong, it's the middle of the night. Why are you here with... a man instead of resting in the palace..."

Qu Wanxin paused, and deliberately looked Pei Yu up and down, pretending to be reminding him in a tactful way.

"This must be Master Pei."

Pei Yu nodded to Qu Wanxin, bowed slightly, but didn't say a word.

Cheng Jin didn't know how it could be such a coincidence. It was really what she feared, and she smiled at Qu Wanxin.

"Didn't Lady Hui also stay up so late?"

Qu Wanxin sneered contemptuously.

"The Queen Mother had a headache late at night and called me to serve her. Wouldn't Concubine Rong also have a headache?"

Qu Wanxin knew that Cheng Jin was not here. It was just a coincidence that she saw Cheng Jin here.

She tried her best to find Cheng Jin's fault, but she didn't expect that she would bump into Cheng Jin meeting Pei Yu in private today.

Qu Wanxin didn't know much about Pei Yu at the beginning. He, like Cheng Jin, was an unknown person in history. Qu Wanxin didn't take him seriously at the beginning.

It was not until Cheng Jin set obstacles for her everywhere, made her unhappy, and blocked her way to great things that Qu Wanxin sent people to investigate everything about Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin's father, Cheng Yishou, was a minister in the court. You should know that her case was also very simple, but precisely because of its simplicity, Qu Wanxin had no way to start with Cheng Jin's family.

And Pei Yu was the most special.

Although he and Cheng Jin were not childhood sweethearts, they were emotionally involved and almost got married.

Qu Wanxin originally wanted to start with Pei Yu and accuse Cheng Jin of not abiding by the palace rules and secretly meeting with a man outside the palace.

Pei Yu was previously seen going to Chunhe Palace, but after Qu Wanxin's investigation, no one had seen Pei Yu since then.

When Qu Wanxin thought that this road was not feasible, who knew that these two would run into her at this time.

Qu Wanxin couldn't hide her joy in her heart. She asked Jing'er to take advantage of Chu Chengye's visit to Chunhe Palace, and find a way to drug him when Chu Chengye returned to her bedroom, so that she could meet Chu Chengye on the road.

The matter was a little difficult, but Jing'er's way of resisting made Qu Wanxin suspicious.

Jing'er might not be able to be used.

She had thought of trying another way, so she thought of finding Xu Jilin in the middle of the night to discuss other methods. Who would have thought that she would meet Cheng Jin and Pei Yu on the road. It was a

dark night with a strong wind, and they were alone.

Even if they said there was nothing, who would believe it.

But Qu Wanxin saw that Cheng Jin's face was still normal, and she couldn't help but sneer.

Even though he has been caught in the act, why is Cheng Jin still so righteous?

Qu Wanxin deliberately asked, "I wonder why Concubine Rong is still with Lord Pei at this time?"

"This place is secretive and few people go there. I naturally trust Concubine Rong, but if someone with ulterior motives finds out, they might talk about what shameful things Concubine Rong and Lord Pei are doing."

Cheng Jin raised her eyebrows slightly and chuckled, "What are you talking about, Lady Hui? Lord Pei and I are innocent. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear, so we are naturally not afraid of people's talk." "Besides

, Lady Hui is the only one who saw it now. If you don't say anything, no one will know. If you want to ruin my reputation, I can't do anything about it, don't you think?"

Cheng Jin always had a faint smile on her face, but there was not a trace of smile.

Of course she knew that Qu Wanxin wanted to make a big deal out of this matter, preferably so that everyone would know about it , to confuse right and wrong and ruin her reputation.

Although Cheng Jin was really not afraid of those people's gossip, if the matter was really made a big deal, there would be no wall that was impenetrable, and the matter between Jiang's mother and son would be known to others. By that time, things would be difficult to deal with. It was only a matter of time before Jiang's mother and son got into trouble. Qu Wanxin just thought that Cheng Jin was stubborn and she was happy to see Cheng Jin's desperate struggle. "Of course I know that Concubine Rong is innocent. I will help Concubine Rong keep today's secret. But you also know that I am just a noble in the palace. Those eunuchs and palace maids can ride on my head. I can't control other people's mouths." While speaking, Qu Wanxin deliberately pushed the responsibility to the palace maid beside her. She would definitely not help Cheng Jin keep this secret. Naturally, the more people know about this matter, the better. But now there are more than one person present. Even if it gets out, it won't matter to her. "What if it really gets out?" Cheng Jin looked straight at Qu Wanxin and took a small step in her direction, with a deep and unfathomable meaning in his eyes. Cheng Jin moved close to Qu Wanxin and lowered her voice and said softly, "I think Lady Hui knows better than me what to do." "Or Lady Hui can treat you like you did to the maid beside you before. Isn't it normal to have one less person in this deep palace?" "What was her name? Yunhuan, right?" "I remember that maid Yunhuan was very smart around Lady Hui. How come she suddenly died of illness?" Cheng Jin looked up and pretended to think, "She was hit, got sick, went missing, and was finally found in the well." "Lady Hui should have known what to say a long time ago." Qu Wanxin was shocked. She really didn't expect Cheng Jin to know about this. It is just like what Cheng Jin said, it is not a big deal to have one person missing from the palace, and anyone can make someone disappear from this world forever with any excuse. Qu Wanxin did not intend to kill Yunhuan. Qu Wanxin knew that Yunhuan was a good maid, and she was considered loyal to her. Qu Wanxin trusted her, so she told Yunhuan a lot of things, and the two of them made plans for Chu Huaian together.

But the mistake was that Yun Huan knew too much, and she could no longer tell who was her master.

Yun Huan was a maid beside Qu Wanxin, but she secretly met with Chu Huaian behind Qu Wanxin's back, and told Chu Huaian everything Qu Wanxin did.

Qu Wanxin had never placed all her hopes on Chu Huaian. She was now thinking about how to take down Chu Chengye, so she naturally did many things on her own initiative to attract Chu Chengye's attention.

These things were all her own thoughts, and she would not discuss them with Xu Jilin, so she acted secretly on her own.

But she was unwilling to give up the possibility of Chu Huaian, so she kept telling Chu Huaian that her heart was only with Chu Huaian.

Qu Wanxin's words were true, and sometimes she could even fool herself.

Chu Huaian even tried to let Qu Wanxin stop a few times, and he said he would think of other ways.

How could Qu Wanxin give up?
