Cui'er was stunned for a moment, and seeing Madam Ruan who was now enjoying great glory, she whispered "Madam" in a low voice and stood aside with her head lowered.

Madam Ruan looked at him with disdain and said in a sinister tone, "You are really lucky. You are still alive after being buried in a mess."

Liu An was a little angry when he saw her being so arrogant. He was about to say something when Cui'er stopped him.

She shook her head.

When Mrs. Ruan saw this, she no longer had the nervousness and fear she had before, and her arrogance became even stronger.

With a condescending look, she looked at her with pity and said, "Alas! Since you are alive, it means that I am not someone who will fight against my fate. You are alive, so forget it. The mistakes you made in the past are in the past. But... you damn girl, how dare you turn the tables and blame me?"

Cui Er said, "Madam, I just want to tell you the truth."

"Oh, the truth?" Madam Ruan squinted at her, her expression full of sarcasm. "You just open your mouth and say the truth? The truth... humph, that doesn't require evidence."

Her expression suddenly became fierce, and the housekeeper's wife's dominance was fully revealed. "You are lucky. You survived and your past is over. But today, you, a scoundrel, lied to me and made false accusations. I will not let you off lightly."

After that, she looked at Lord Lu and said, "Lord Lu, this slave girl falsely accused me, what crime should she be punished for according to the law?"

"Ahem, Madam Ruan, we still need to investigate the false accusation."

"What else do you need to investigate? My sister was killed by her. She has captured both the victim and the person. How many people in the mansion saw it? How can I wrongly accuse her?"

"Mrs. Ruan, please be patient and wait for me to ask you a few questions."

"Hmph, then ask him quickly, and then prove this to me that he is innocent. I am ashamed of this man."

"놆놆, then can the witnesses from that time come out and speak about it?"

"Of course you can." Mrs. Ruan turned around and said, "Grandma Wang, go and get all the witnesses from that year."

"놆, ma'am."

At this time, Lord Lu winked at the captain of the police beside him, and the captain of the police planned to go out with Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Ruan looked at it and said in confusion, "What does Lord Lu mean by this?"

Lord Lu stroked his beard and answered simply, "I and Xiao Zheng will go with you to prevent any servants from colluding with the superiors and deceiving their subordinates."

Mrs. Ruan: “…”

"Have you ever trusted this lady?"

"That's right. I'm worried that someone is deceiving the lady."

"snort."

Captain Zheng also followed.

Cui Er breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the waiter next door came to report that the prince and his young mistress from Prince Gong's mansion had arrived.

Mrs. Ruan's eyebrows jumped. Why are they here?

It is definitely not as easy to deal with them as it is to deal with a maid.

She was looking for an opportunity to have a private chat with Master Lu, but...

She felt uneasy in her heart, but she couldn't help but get nervous, and her hands were tightened.

Ruan Xinchen and Chu Xuanche came in together. After coming in, Ruan Xinchen smiled and nodded to Cui'er, then looked at Madam Ruan and said, "Mother, I hope you are well."

Her half-smiley expression seemed to be mocking herself.

Mrs. Ruan had a dark face and asked calmly, "Why are you here?"

Ruan Xinchen smiled and said, "I heard that there was a hidden story behind my mother's death, so I naturally came to take a look."

After she finished speaking, her face darkened and she asked Mrs. Ruan seriously, "Mother, is there something else going on?"

Mrs. Ruan's wide sleeves covered her tightly wrapped headband. She took a deep breath, her expression indifferent.

"Don't listen to this damned girl's nonsense. She killed your mother. Many people in the mansion saw it with their own eyes. I punished her back then. I had her beaten to death and thrown into a mass grave. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to survive."

"Oh? Really? But why do I hear a different version of the story from her mouth?"

Madam Ruan raised her neck and sneered, "How can you trust the words of a slave girl? She used to be resentful of me for beating her up, so why would she come out and accuse me?"

"What? We'll have to wait and see what happens."

Ruan Xinchen sat down on the chair opposite.

Chu Xuanche looked at Lord Lu and spoke slowly, "Lord Lu, I hope you can handle the case impartially."

Lord Lu replied: "Don't worry, my lord. Of course."

Chu Xuanche walked to Ruan Xinchen with satisfaction and sat down.

The two of them put their heads close together and whispered to each other, but it was unclear what they were talking about.

Mrs. Ruan looked at Ruan Xinchen's calm and relaxed appearance, and the feeling of peace in her heart became stronger.

After watching the lively scene for a while, Mrs. Yuan drank a sip of tea and asked Mrs. Ruan in a low voice, "Is there anything wrong?"

Madam Ruan: "Don't worry, it's okay. What that bitch said is completely false."

"But you, a concubine, seem to be well prepared."

Mrs. Ruan: “…”

At this time, a servant came to report that King Zhan and Princess Zhan had arrived.

Mrs. Ruan's nervous heart immediately calmed down, and she hurriedly said as if she had found a savior: "Quick, please come in."

She looked excited and whispered to Madam Yuan beside her: "Madam Yuan, it seems that I don't need to ask you for help. Princess Zhan has come out."

Madam Yuan smiled and said, "That's good. They rushed here in a hurry. I think they heard the news and came to help you. Congratulations."

Mrs. Ruan also thought so.

For this reason, she even gave Ruan Xinchen a deliberately provocative look.

I thought: Do you think you have a sure win just because you moved Prince Gong here?

My son-in-law, King of War, how could I be afraid of you?

Soon Chu Li and Ruan Yihe arrived.

Ling Lie was pushing the wheelchair and Chu Li was still sitting in it.

It seems that 놛놆 has made up his mind to pretend to be paralyzed.

Following behind them, Ruan Yihe had a pale face and it was obvious that she had suffered a lot recently.

Mrs. Ruan hadn't noticed her daughter's expression yet. She had a smile on her face and greeted Chu Li enthusiastically.

"Your Highness, have you been feeling better lately?"

"Yeah, much better." Chu Li responded casually, and then said, "I heard that someone reported the lady, so we came to take a look."

When Madam Ruan heard this, her smile deepened. "Oh, it's not a big deal. It's just that a lowly maid deliberately wanted to take revenge on me. I don't take it to heart at all. But it's because she troubled Your Highness to make a trip, delayed Your Highness's recovery, and hurt Your Highness's body. This girl deserves death."

After finishing speaking, she looked at her daughter behind Chu Li.

Seeing her pale face, she was obviously thinner. She was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong with you, Princess?"

Ruan Yihe turned away and also looked at her.

Looking at her timid eyes, Mrs. Ruan felt heartbroken.

She raised her daughter lovingly, from childhood to adulthood, and she had everything she wanted. No one could ever wrong her.

Looking at her appearance now, she must have suffered a great sin.

Little do you know, in this world, except your parents, no one will always care about you.
