Chapter 423: Climbing
Without waiting for Yuan Ziyu to speak, Song Yuwen looked at Yu Fangyin with disdain and sneered, "Miss Yu, you lie without even thinking. How could Sister Yuan worry that you'd win the heart of Master Huo? What a joke. Even if you really marry into the Xuanping Marquis's mansion in the future, how can you surpass Sister Yuan? Is it family background, looks, or relationships? In what way can you compare to Sister Yuan?"
Song Yuwen's words showed no mercy to Yu Fangyin at all.
Yu Fangyin's face flushed with embarrassment, and she glared at Song Yuwen angrily: "Second Miss Song, this matter has nothing to do with you, right? You are so proactive."
Song Yuwen raised her chin and said, "You're bringing up Sister Yuan because it's related to me. What? Are you relying on your age to bully the weak?"
"You..." Yu Fangyin gritted her teeth and was about to retort Song Yuwen when she heard Yuan Ziyu laugh and say, "Miss Yu, you are so arrogant. You said you would marry into the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion? Do you have any evidence? How come I didn't know about this? As for harming you, that's even more out of the question. I didn't even know you were going to marry into the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion, so how could I harm you just because I was worried that the prince would change his mind? Miss Yu, can you explain it more clearly? I really don't understand."
Song Yuwen glanced at Yu Fangyin with disdain and said to Yuan Ziyu, "Sister Yuan, I'm afraid Miss Yuan can't explain it clearly. She's a daughter of an official. Even if she wants to be a concubine for Master Huo, at least the elders of the two families need to meet and have their horoscopes compared. I'm afraid she can't even come up with that."
Yu Fangyin gritted her teeth secretly. She really couldn't take it out. The Marquis's wife looked down on her at all. Where did her fortune come from?
But no matter what, she was going to drag Yuan Ziyu down with her today, and if they were to die, they would all die together.
Yu Fangyin leaned against Liuxiang, looking at Yuan Ziyu in grief and anger, tears streaming from her eyes. "Yuan Ziyu, do you dare to tell me where you were just now? That maid named Si Yu clearly brought us to this courtyard, and it was clearly you who entered this room. Do you dare to tell me why I was the one who stayed in this room in the end? What did you do in between? Don't you know it yourself? Do you dare to say it in public?"
After hearing Yu Fangyin's words, the noble ladies opened their eyes wide in surprise. It seemed that there was a lot going on here. Then they turned to look at Yuan Ziyu, wanting to see how Yuan Ziyu would answer.
Yuan Ziyou smiled upon hearing this. "I truly admire Miss Yuan's ability to confuse right and wrong. If I had truly entered this room, would I have been able to leave? You're questioning me now, why not go find that maid named Si Yu and ask her who ordered her to do this? Miss Yuan, why are you blaming me instead of the real murderer?"
Everyone was in an uproar again. You know, Si Yu is a maid in the Du family!
So this matter involves the Du family?
Du Yun'er also frowned, and ordered Caiqi: "Send someone to find that Si Yu."
"Yes." Caiqi responded and left in a hurry.
Yuan Ziyou then said to Du Yun'er, "Sister Du, I'm not targeting the Du family. It's just that the maid named Si Yu is indeed suspicious. If I'm not mistaken, someone has drugged this room."
Du Yun'er nodded quickly and said, "Sister Yuan, I understand. Today's incident is indeed strange. Since it happened in the Du Mansion, we must investigate thoroughly. To be honest, Si Yu is not a maid in my room. I always thought that she was sent by the elders to help me entertain guests. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that Si Yu's intentions are not pure."
"As long as Sister Du understands."
"This room was drugged?" At this time, a noble lady asked in surprise: "Miss Yuan Er, are you sure?"
Yuan Ziyou nodded. "I'm not entirely sure, but I've learned some pharmacology. Did you all feel a little dizzy when you came in? I'm afraid it's just the residual effect of the medicine. If you want to find out, you can ask a doctor to check it out."
Everyone nodded after hearing this. They did feel a little dizzy staying in this room, and they originally thought it was because there were too many people.
Yu Fangyin was annoyed when she heard this and looked at Yuan Ziyu angrily: "Yuan Ziyu, you haven't told me yet. You came into this yard with me, so why aren't you in this yard anymore? How come your clothes are so slippery now?"
Yuan Ziyou looked at Yu Fangyin and smiled, "I've already told all the girls this in the courtyard just now. Now that you're asking, I'll tell you again. I waited for my maid in the room for a long time, but she didn't show up, so I had to go out and look for her myself. I finally ran into her, and finally found Dongsi and changed my clothes. I also want to ask Miss Yu's maid, why did she not come back after asking for directions, and instead show up in this courtyard?"
"That's right." Qingzhi stood behind Yuan Ziyu and couldn't help asking Liuxiang, "That Si Yu didn't come to pick you up. You told me to ask for directions, but you disappeared. I was waiting there foolishly, and you turned up here instead. Logically, you shouldn't know which yard the girls are in, right?"
"I..." Liuxiang was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Logically, she really shouldn't know about this place.
Yu Fangyin couldn't help but snort, "Are you two, master and servant, trying to turn the tables?"
"We still don't know who is trying to turn the tables on us," Song Yuwen said with a cold snort.
"I'm the victim. Do you understand now? I'm the victim. I've lost my innocence and my reputation. What do you want me to do? What should I do?"
Seeing that Song Yuwen and Du Yun'er were both on Yuan Ziyu's side, and the other noble ladies looked at her with a hint of contempt, Yu Fangyin couldn't help but break down and cry.
"Now that you have lost your reputation, you want to drag Sister Yuan into this. What are you thinking?" Song Yuwen scolded angrily.
"I didn't!" Yu Fangyin gritted her teeth.
"You know whether you know it or not." Song Yuwen snorted, "Who knows if you're reaping the consequences of today's incident? You wanted to harm Sister Yuan, but ended up hurting yourself? Yu Fangyin, I'm afraid you're infatuated with Master Huo and want to harm Sister Yuan and take her place, right?"
Song Yuwen's words made all the noble ladies suddenly feel that the biggest gain from coming to the autumn banquet today was this gossip. Although Song Yuwen's words were just guesses, they hit the nail on the head. Then she said what Fang Yin was thinking, which made her tremble slightly. Yuan Ziyu narrowed his eyes when he saw this, and it was indeed the case.
"Miss Yu, why don't you explain why your maid was able to find this place so quickly?" Yuan Ziyu said with a sneer.
"I..." Yu Fangyin didn't know how to answer when she heard a maid's voice in the yard: "The old lady is here."
Hearing the voice, the noble ladies looked at each other in surprise. Is Old Madam Du here?
