Chapter 185 Stubborn
When Yanyu arrived at the back garden, she heard Yao's voice: "Yanyu, wait a moment."
Yanyu subconsciously stopped and saw Yao and the others catching up with her. She asked, "Madam, is there anything else?"
"You came to deliver something, did you bring anything with you?" Yao asked.
Yanyu didn't know what Yao meant, so she shook her head and said, "I didn't bring anything with me."
Yao mocked, "The maidservant beside this princess is not clean. If she can't tell the truth, won't it damage the reputation of the royal family?"
Yanyu has a gentle personality, but she also has a stubborn side. She especially cannot stand hearing people say anything bad about Su Chenyu: "Madam, you have to provide evidence when you speak. Princess Rumor Spreader, are you tired of living?"
Yao accused, "You were the only one in the room just now, and you lost the hairpin when you stepped on it. If you didn't take it, how could the hairpin grow legs and run away by itself?"
Since following Su Chenyu, Yanyu has never suffered such injustice: "I didn't take any gold hairpin. If something is lost, go find it instead of framing others here."
"Then do you dare to let someone search you?" Yao asked.
Yanyu directly confronted him: "What am I afraid of?"
As she spoke, a gilded hairpin fell out from Yanyu's sleeve. The crisp sound made Yanyu silent for a moment, with an expression of disbelief on her face. Why did she have such a hairpin?
Seeing this, Yao sneered, "Hey, why are you silent? Evidence, isn't this evidence?"
Yanyu took two steps back in fear. Facing the scene before her, she didn't know how to deal with it. The hairpin was not hers, but it was on her, so she couldn't argue.
"It turns out that the maidservant beside the princess is a thief!"
After Yao said this, Yao Ting suddenly spoke up: "Sister, I forgot just now that this hairpin was given to Miss Yanyu by me. Miss Yanyu has troubled you to make this trip, you can't go back empty-handed, right?"
Yao didn't understand why her sister said that: "This hairpin was definitely stolen! Sister, don't be afraid just because she is a maidservant of the princess. Even if it's the princess's turn today, I will seek justice for you."
Yao Tingyi replied firmly: "Minyi, I have already told you that I gave this hairpin to Miss Yanyu. I forgot about it just now, but I just remembered it now. If you don't believe me, you can ask Miss Yanyu."
In this situation, Yao Ting was just giving Yanyu a way out. As long as Yanyu was not a fool, she would definitely take this step down.
This was Yao Min’s intention. Since he couldn’t get close to Su Chenyu, he would get close to her through the maidservants around her.
Yanyu has been kind to me and will definitely remember this favor.
But to Yao Ting's surprise, Yanyu stubbornly replied: "I have never received this golden hairpin, and I don't know why it appeared on me. But since it concerns the princess's reputation, I will definitely ask the princess to get to the bottom of this matter."
Yao Ting didn't expect Yanyu to be like this, and advised: "Miss Yanyu, you also know that this matter concerns the reputation of the princess. If you investigate it further, it is inevitable that bad words will be spread. Besides, this is just a small matter. Why bother the princess and the prince consort to worry about it again?"
It sounded like Yao Ting's words were for Su Chenyu's own good, but Yanyu knew that if she had just followed Yao Ting's words today, she would have backed down.
Then outsiders would think that it was him who stole the hairpin, and Yao Ting was just giving it to her for the sake of Su Chenyu's face.
