Chapter 151 Oral Oral
"Hmph, since Miss Liu San said that the rumor was spread by Miss Chen San, then please ask Miss Chen San to come over and have a confrontation!" Huo Xifei said coldly.
After hearing what Huo Xifei said, Liu Xueqing panicked for a moment, but when she thought of her aunt's words, she calmed down again and raised her neck: "Okay, let's confront each other!"
Huo Xifei narrowed his eyes, glanced at Liu Xueqing, and said to Liu Taifu, "Thank you for your help, Master Taifu!"
Taifu Liu took a deep breath and called out loudly, "Come here, go to the residence of Master Chen of the Ministry of Public Administration and invite Master Chen and Miss Chen San to come over."
"yes!"
For a moment, there was silence in the flower hall. Xue wanted to say something, but was glared at by Tutor Liu and shut up.
After a long while, Imperial Tutor Liu finally said, "Lord Huo, General Yuan, today's matter must be resolved. If it is truly my daughter's fault, I will give you an explanation. However, if I am innocent, I ask that you give me justice."
"Of course!" Huo Lixiu and Yuan Qifeng both nodded.
Soon, Chen Mu hurried over with Chen Yao.
"Your humble servant greets Lord Huo, Grand Tutor, and General Yuan!" Chen Mu tremblingly greeted the three of them. When he saw Yuan Ziyu and Liu Xueqing were there, he knew that he was here today to have a confrontation between the three of them. Cold sweat kept pouring down his back.
Chen Mu hated Chen Yao in his heart. This girl really screwed him over. He thought that everything had been clarified and there was no need for a three-party confrontation. What General Yuan said yesterday was just a casual remark. But he didn't expect that he would actually call them here today. If he wasn't careful, he would offend both parties!
Chen Mu felt that the official hat on his head was beginning to shake.
"Master Chen, let me ask you something!" Imperial Tutor Liu looked at Chen Mu and said, "Did your daughter spread the rumors about Miss Yuan Er?"
"This...this..." Chen Mu wanted to say that it was Liu Xueqing who asked Chen Yao to spread the rumor, but he didn't dare to say it. He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
"It seems so!" Taifu Liu said coldly, then snorted and said to Yuan Qifeng, "General Yuan, you have also seen that Chen Mu did not deny that it was Miss Chen San who spread the rumor. In this case, this rumor has nothing to do with my daughter. Do you want to give me an explanation to the Liu Mansion?"
Huo Xifei sneered, "Master Taifu, it's a good thing you're not the prefect of Jingzhao Yin. Otherwise, there wouldn't be countless unjust and wrong cases in this world."
Upon hearing this, Imperial Tutor Liu flew into a rage: "I wonder what the Crown Prince means by this?"
"We've never denied that Miss Chen San started this rumor, but who's the mastermind behind it?" Huo Xifei sneered, "The Grand Tutor made a direct judgment without even asking. Is he so anxious to clear his daughter's name?"
"You..." Taifu Liu was speechless after being asked, and looked at Chen Mu hatefully: "Chen Mu, tell me, your daughter spread rumors about Miss Yuan Er. Was there anyone behind the scenes who instigated it?"
Chen Mu was in a dilemma. If he said yes, he would offend Taifu Liu. If he said no, he would offend Marquis Huo and General Yuan.
The most important thing is that behind Grand Tutor Liu stands Concubine Liu.
What should I do?
Seeing Chen Mu hesitant, Master Liu felt uneasy for no reason and couldn't help but glance at Liu Xueqing.
Liu Xueqing was panicking, and when Taifu Liu looked at her like that, she couldn't help but shout out, "This has nothing to do with me. The rumors were spread by Chen Yao. It was all her fault. She did it. It has nothing to do with me."
Chen Yao had been standing aside without saying a word. Ever since Chen Mu said yesterday that he would send her to the ancestral temple, Chen Yao had been disheartened. However, she kept regretting why she had listened to Liu Xueqing's words and spread rumors about Yuan Ziyu.
When he came with Chen Mu today, he also looked depressed.
Hearing Liu Xueqing's words at this moment, Chen Yao immediately raised her head and looked at Liu Xueqing in disbelief.
"Why did you hurt me like this?" Seeing Chen Lu looking at her, Liu Xueqing remembered Concubine Liu's instructions and burst into tears immediately: "How did I offend you? You are so cruel!"
As she spoke, she burst into tears in Xue's arms, causing Xue to feel distressed. She angrily scolded Chen Yao: "You bitch, why don't you just die? You've hurt my Qing'er like this, do you still have a conscience?"
Chen Yao bit her lip hard and stared at Liu Xueqing. Liu Xueqing felt Chen Yao's gaze and buried herself in Xue's arms, not daring to look up. She only whispered, "Mom!"
"Don't be afraid, mother is here!" Xue hurriedly comforted Liu Xueqing. Just as she was about to scold Chen Yao again, she heard Chen Yao say hatefully, "I didn't expect Miss Liu San to put the blame on me for everything. No wonder she came to confront me today!"
After saying that, Chen Yao knelt down in front of Yuan Ziyu and said, "Second Miss Yuan, I'm sorry for spreading rumors about you. However, Liu Xueqing instructed me to do so. If it weren't for Liu Xueqing, I would have gone crazy to provoke you!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Liu Xueqing screamed.
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Chen Yao gritted her teeth.
Chen Mu was terrified. His daughter had completely offended Grand Tutor Liu by saying this: "Third girl, you..."
"What's the matter, Lord Chen, do you want to interfere?" Huo Lixiu looked at Chen Mu coldly when he heard that.
Chen Mu shuddered and said hurriedly, "I dare not, I dare not!"
I was already in a panic.
"I'm absolutely not talking nonsense!" Chen Yao said, "Liu Xueqing was jealous of Prince Xuan for saving Miss Yuan Er, and when she saw the two of them coming out of the peach forest one after another, she became furious and wanted to destroy Miss Yuan Er. If I lied even a little bit, I will be struck by lightning!"
For a moment, the entire hall fell silent.
At this time, the servant came running over: "Master, Eunuch Liu is here!"
Before he finished speaking, Eunuch Liu came to the flower hall and said with a smile: "It seems that we have come at the right time!"
Everyone was puzzled, so they greeted Eunuch Liu first.
Eunuch Liu smiled and said, "I came here today for no other reason than to convey the Emperor's instructions!"
As he spoke, without waiting for everyone to react, he smiled and said, "The Emperor has also heard the rumors about Miss Yuan Er. He also learned that the rumors were not spread by Miss Liu San, so he asked me to talk to you about it. Whoever should be held accountable should be held accountable. Peace is the most important thing!"
Chen Mu collapsed to the ground after hearing this. Even the emperor knew about this? And if the emperor said this, wouldn't that mean that he would shoulder all the responsibility?
If this is the case, then what future do I have?
"You rebellious girl, you've killed me!" Chen Mu's eyes turned red. He suddenly got up, stepped forward and kicked Chen Yao to the ground.
