Chapter 142 Admit?
"Oh!" Liu Xueqing nodded quickly.
"You must remember this!" Concubine Liu warned again, worried. "You only said it casually out of jealousy at Fatan Temple. It was Chen Yao who spread the rumor to curry your favor. And the reason you stopped Chen Yao from speaking out at the Meng Mansion was because you were afraid that your feelings for Xuan Shaoqing would be known to everyone. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, I understand!" Liu Xueqing nodded quickly. With Concubine Liu's words, she felt a little relieved, but she still felt a little uneasy when she thought about it: "But, I swear I saw Yuan Ziyu and Prince Xuan walking out of the peach forest one after the other!"
"Have you ever admitted that it was you who asked Chen Yao to spread the rumors?" Concubine Liu asked Liu Xueqing.
"No!" Liu Xueqing hurriedly shook her head.
"That's it, you're just angry and embarrassed because your feelings for Xuan Shaoqing have been exposed, so you said something without thinking!" Concubine Liu lowered her eyes, gently stroked the scallion-like crimson nails on her left little finger, and spoke softly.
"Yes, aunt, Qing'er understands!" Liu Xueqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and said.
"Well, I understand!" Seeing that Liu Xueqing was not too stupid, Concubine Liu nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, when your father comes, you just do as I say. Now go down and rest. I have a good jade muscle cream here. I will ask the little girl to bring it to you later. You can ask your maid to help you apply it twice a day."
"Yes, thank you, aunt!" Liu Xueqing was in great pain and would not refuse. She thanked Concubine Liu and followed the maid to the side room to rest.
After Liu Xueqing left, Concubine Liu narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment, then said to Qinchun, "Think of a way to pass my pair of jasper bottles to Eunuch Liu, so that he can take good care of them. Then, let the Emperor turn over my name card tonight."
"Yes!" Qinchun responded politely and left to make arrangements.
Concubine Liu leaned on the imperial concubine couch, squinting her eyes and staring at something in a trance, muttering to herself, "Yuan family, Yuan Ziyou..."
However, after Yuan Ziyu said goodbye to Huo Wan, he went straight back to the Yuan family.
"Second Miss, we can't just let this go!" Qingying and Qingzhi said to Yuan Ziyu while helping her change clothes.
Yuan Ziyou changed into casual clothes and let Qingzhi help her remove her hairpins and rings. She only wore a few delicate velvet flowers. When she heard her two maids say this, she laughed and said, "Of course we won't let it go. Even if we want to stop, I'm afraid Liu Xueqing won't let it go."
"That's right!" Qingzhi said hurriedly, "Second Miss, I'll help you check to see if the master and the two young masters are in the mansion. You'd better tell them what happened immediately, otherwise, if Miss Liu San asks the imperial concubine for help, it will be disastrous!"
"Okay, then you go and take a look!" Yuan Ziyu nodded when he heard that.
Qingying smiled and said to Qingzhi, "You are quite clever now."
"That's right!" Qingzhi raised his chin proudly: "Like master, like servant!"
"Puff!" Yuan Ziyu laughed out loud and glared at Qingzhi: "Stop talking nonsense and go take a look!"
“Hey!”
"Second Miss, do you want to talk to the Young Master about this matter in person?" Qingying said to Yuan Ziyu.
Yuan Ziyou thought about it and said with a smile: "No need, I think he already knows!"
If she guessed correctly, tonight, Huo Xifei would probably be a lecher who sneaked into the boudoir again.
"Oh!" Qingying nodded when she heard Yuan Ziyu say this. Then she remembered Huo Wan's request to visit the greenhouse in Yuan Mansion, so she hurriedly said to Yuan Ziyu, "Second Miss, Miss Wan said she wanted to come and take a look at our greenhouse, but now it's..."
Qingying didn't go into details. It was just a reminder. She believed that since her second daughter had agreed, there would naturally be a way.
Yuan Ziyou smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, when this matter is settled, you can come with me out of the house."
"Hey!" Qingying didn't ask any more questions and just agreed.
Soon, Qingzhi came back.
"Second Miss, the master did not leave the house today. Not only the master and the mistress, but also the two young masters are now in Liufeng Garden!" Qingzhi hurriedly told Yuan Ziyu the news he had inquired about!
"Let's go to Liufeng Garden."
"yes!"
In Liufeng Garden, Yuan Qifeng was asking Yuan Zian, "Have you found out where these rumors came from?"
Yesterday, Liu learned about the rumors about Yuan Ziyu and asked Yuan Zian to investigate.
Now Yuan Qifeng is in charge of all matters related to the Jingxi Camp under the order of the emperor. He goes out early and comes back late every day. Today, when he learned that Yuan Ziyu had been slandered in such a way, he was immediately furious and did not leave the house. He just waited for news from Yuan Zian in the house.
"Dad, we have roughly figured it out. It should be Miss Chen San from Mr. Chen's family in the Ministry of Public Administration who spread the rumors!" Yuan Zian said hurriedly.
"A girl from a fourth-rank official's family wouldn't be so bold. Have you found out who's behind her?" Yuan Qifeng narrowed his eyes and asked.
"That's right!" Yuan Zining said angrily, "There must be someone behind this who is instructing Miss Chen San."
"Dad, although I haven't verified it yet, but recently Miss Chen San from the Tongzhengsi family has been quite close to Miss Liu San from the Liu Taifu mansion!" Yuan Zian said.
"So, the person behind this is Miss Liu San?" Yuan Zining clenched his fists and asked with wide eyes, "I'll go find her!"
Having said that, Yuan Zining was about to rush out.
"Ning'er!" Liu called out hurriedly.
"Ning'er, stop!" Yuan Qifeng frowned and shouted.
Yuan Zian grabbed Yuan Zining and said, "I haven't checked yet. If you rush in like this, won't that give people something to talk about?"
"Father, mother, and big brother!" Yuan Zining was dragged by Yuan Zian and couldn't move. He jumped up and down and said, "It must be her. There are not many good daughters and sons in the Liu family!"
Yuan Zian looked at Yuan Zining who was jumping high on the spot, and glanced at his legs. Although Yuan Zining's leg injury was not serious, it would take seven or eight days to heal. He knew that his second brother was alive and kicking again in just two or three days. It seemed that the health-preserving soup and pills made by his little sister were extraordinary. He must protect his little sister well.
"Where is the evidence?" Yuan Qifeng asked.
"Ah! Evidence?" Yuan Zining blinked. No!
"Humph, you don't have any evidence, and you still don't want to get it out?" Yuan Qifeng glared at Yuan Zining and said, "That's the Taifu Mansion, not some other place."
"But..." Yuan Zining was about to say something else when he heard Yuan Ziyu's voice coming from the door: "I have evidence."
