With her intelligence, if Chu Mobai hadn't trusted the servants, she would have been beaten out long ago.

"Your Majesty...they..."

Chu Mobai said in time: "That's enough. I will not pursue this matter any further."

Although Chu Mobai said that he would not pursue the matter, in reality there was no room for any investigation at all.

Butler Wang has been in the palace for many years and has always been clean, with nothing shameful ever happening to him.

It is precisely for this reason that Chu Mobai trusts him very much.

But Li Zhiyi's eyes rolled, and if one plan failed, she would try another.

She said, "Your Majesty, but...but our melons..."

"I clearly remember asking Dan'er to take good care of the melon every day. The melon grew stronger every day. I was looking forward to eating the melon with the prince under the moon, but I never thought that someone would get the melon first."

Although Lai Chi-yi did not mention Qian Ruoyu in any of her sentences, Qian Ruoyu's figure could be seen in every word she said, which was completely hinting that Qian Ruoyu had eaten her melon.

But Qian Ruoyu didn't care about her words at all, no matter whether she was making it clear or implying.

If she can find evidence, then there must be something fishy going on.

But after Li Zhiyi finished speaking, Chu Mobai looked towards Qian Ruoyu.

Although he didn't say anything, his eyes as cold as frost stared at Qian Ruoyu, obviously questioning Qian Ruoyu with his eyes.

Qian Ruoyu spread her hands indifferently.

"What's it got to do with me?"

"Heh, my Yueya Pavilion was turned upside down by someone else, but I didn't care about it. Why do you blame someone for having your melon stolen?"

Afterwards, Qian Ruoyu took another bold step forward and actually came to two feet in front of Chu Mobai.

At this moment, Qian Ruoyu could actually smell a faint fragrance on Chu Mobai, which made Qian Ruoyu have an illusion. Was it his fragrance, or... an illusion?

But Qian Ruoyu said, "You also saw why I asked Butler Wang to come and renovate my Yueya Pavilion? It's because someone is too much!"

Qian Ruoyu has become the same as Li Zhiyi. Although she does not mention Li Zhiyi in every sentence, every word has the image of Li Zhiyi. She has completely adopted Li Zhiyi's method of framing others.

This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine!

Chu Mobai naturally understood the meaning of Qian Ruoyu's words, but he did not look at Li Zhiyi. Instead, he continued to speak with his head held high.

"So, you really stole the melon?"

Qian Ruoyu knew in her heart that Chu Mobai was indeed biased towards Li Zhiyi!

But Qian Ruoyu was well prepared. Even if Chu Mobai turned his entire Yueya Pavilion upside down, he would not be able to find any evidence.

"I didn't steal it."

Because she took it.

If family members take their own things, is that considered stealing?

This is just self-inflicted.

So when Qian Ruoyu said this, her face didn't turn red, her heart didn't beat fast, and she didn't even breathe heavily.

Chu Mobai frowned, and there was a hint of hesitation in his cold expression. He was obviously considering whether there was any flaw in Qian Ruoyu's words.

But whether it was Qian Ruoyu's tone or Qian Ruoyu's eyes, they both looked so pure and flawless, and it didn't seem like she was lying at all.

Li Zhiyi said, "Your Majesty, she lied, she lied..."

"Our melons are clearly gone. Which of the servants in the palace dared to do that? It was obviously her..."

Okay, now Li Zhiyi no longer called her sister, but pointed directly at Qian Ruoyu.

"The person who stole the melon was Qian Ruoyu!"

Qian Ruoyu smiled coldly, not caring about Li Zhiyi's unreasonable demands at all.

She looked at Chu Mobai firmly, and actually stared directly into Chu Mobai's eyes without any fear.

Chu Mobai was surprised.

He also didn't expect that she would look him in the eye like this.

After a moment, Chu Mobai said.

"Since the melons are gone, let's plant more."

"This happened in the palace, or a servant took it because of greed. Let's leave it alone."

With just one sentence, Chu Mobai downplayed the matter and made it seem as if it had never happened.

But this is just a matter of a watermelon. It is too cheap for him, the Night King, to argue to the end just for a watermelon.

After Chu Mobai finished speaking, Qian Ruoyu withdrew her gaze.

But Yan'er behind her was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe.

Li Zhiyi stamped her feet lightly, and she came back to her senses.

There were no witnesses or physical evidence. Even a piece of watermelon rind was enough to kill Qian Ruoyu, not to mention that he had offended Butler Wang because of this matter.

Li Zhiyi felt a little annoyed, but in the end she had no choice but to give up.

Chu Mobai looked like nothing was wrong and was about to turn around when Qian Ruoyu spoke.

"Wait."

"Li Zhiyi hasn't apologized to me for the three mistakes she made, and this matter is over?"

"You made a scene in my Yueya Pavilion because of a watermelon, and now you're running away like that. Ye Wang Chu Mobai, your queen is really too embarrassed, isn't she?"

Qian Ruoyu called Chu Mobai by his name.

Chu Mobai stood there, his tall figure seemed to be in deep thought, or even having a headache.

This family affair is not as serious as a war, but it has indeed caused Chu Mobai some considerable trouble.

As soon as Chu Mobai stood still, Qian Ruoyu spoke.

"First of all, it is a fact that you injured my maid Yan'er. Does that mean your maid is precious and mine can be bullied at will?"

"Second, you falsely accused me of stealing your melons, but you made up your mind to prove that I had nothing to prove!"

"Third, you don't respect me as your sister. Don't forget that you are just a concubine, an unqualified concubine."

Qian Ruoyu's tone was extremely domineering, and just three sentences made Chu Mobai frown.

Because judging from the current situation, no matter what Qian Ruoyu said, it was almost all reasonable and well-founded, and she was not wrong at all.

Li Zhiyi was speechless. She was just about to leave because of the three mistakes Qian Ruoyu mentioned, but now Qian Ruoyu brought them up again.

Each of these points was well-reasoned and left Li Zhiyi with no reason to escape.

"Haha, I won't make it difficult for her. At dinner time today, let Li Zhiyi bow her head and pour tea to apologize to me. I won't care about this matter."

After listening to this, Chu Mobai came in front of Qian Ruoyu. The distance between him and Qian Ruoyu was only a line, and the two of them were almost sticking together.

Qian Ruoyu was also frightened. She didn't expect Chu Mobai to suddenly come over.

Chu Mobai spoke in a deep voice in her ear.

"Woman, don't go too far."

Although his tone was not cold, it was obviously a bit more severe.

Qian Ruoyu also said in a deep voice: "Excessive? I have even more extreme methods."

"If you still want to protect her like this, then let her apologize quickly and I won't pursue the matter!"

Chu Mobai was stunned for a moment.

He distanced himself from Qian Ruoyu again. Qian Ruoyu seemed to be clearer in his eyes, as if the woman in front of him was not as rumored...
