Yu Xiangwei was looking forward to this scene. Finally, someone noticed that Yu Jinshu's clothes were torn, and her originally depressed mood suddenly improved a lot.
Yu Jinshu's body tensed up, he looked down at his waist, raised his hand and touched it, and found a hole in his clothes.
Ding ding ding…
The pearls on the front of her jacket had broken because of the gold thread, and she had just danced with all her might, so now the pearls were scattered all over the floor.
Aunt Du frowned. She had been very optimistic about Yu Jinshu, but she didn't expect that Yu Jinshu would fail at the last critical moment.
She said sternly, "Yu Jinshu, what's going on with you?"
Yu Jinshu shrank back, looking helpless as she said, "Aunt Du, this is a new dress that was just made last night in the mansion. I don't know why it got torn."
Aunt Du looked at Yu Jinshu and didn't think he was lying.
Besides, who would ruin their clothes during a talent show?
Aunt Du entered the palace at the age of twelve. She had personally experienced countless palace struggles, each of which was thrilling and life-threatening.
Someone must have been jealous of Yu Jinshu's beauty and deliberately cut her clothes.
"Miss Yu, you have a hole here too." A girl came forward and pointed at a hole on Yu Jinshu's sleeve.
Yu Jinshu hurriedly looked at his sleeves.
"And it's torn here too." The girl also saw a hole at the hem of Yu Jinshu's skirt.
Yu Jinshu looked at the hole in her skirt, then covered her chest with the half-string of pearls that was about to fall off, and quickly knelt down in front of Song Shiyao, "Your Highness, Prince Wei, it is not my fault. I was not aware that my clothes were torn."
Several girls nearby who were jealous of Yu Jinshu began to chatter.
"To dress so disheveled in front of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei is a contempt for the royal authority. To put it in a serious way, it should be punished by death."
"That's right. For such a formal occasion today, she actually came wearing tattered clothes. This is disrespectful to His Royal Highness Prince Wei."
Yu Xiangwei was secretly happy on the side, seeing that Yu Jinshu was going to end up like this, he must be beaten out with a stick!
Song Shiyao suddenly stood up.
The girls' eyes widened, and they all thought that Yu Jinshu was probably doomed.
But Song Shiyao walked up to Yu Jinshu, untied the thin shawl on his body, wrapped it around Yu Jinshu, and picked up Yu Jinshu.
His Royal Highness Prince Wei's action made the girls' eyes open even wider.
Yu Jinshu was not very surprised.
She knew what kind of person Song Shiyao was.
Song Shiyao was the kind of person who would pity the weak. It was precisely because of his character that when she told him her life story that day, he felt pity for her. He personally sent her to the Governor's Mansion, and asked his follower A Mo to verify her life story. He also had the pair of evil slaves executed immediately.
Yu Xiangwei watched this scene with anxiety. Without even thinking, she stepped forward and said, "Your Highness Prince Wei..."
Song Shiyao turned around and looked at Yu Xiangwei: "What's the matter?"
Yu Xiangwei was so frightened that she didn't know what to say. Fortunately, she was quick-witted and said, "Your Highness, my sister deliberately cut her clothes yesterday to attract your attention."
She had not expected that His Royal Highness Prince Wei would act like this. Not only did he not punish Yu Jinshu, but he also let Yu Jinshu wear his cloak and picked up Yu Jinshu.
Now she could go with the flow and say that Yu Jinshu had cut her clothes on purpose.
Yu Jinshu shook her head in Song Shiyao's arms. "No, Your Highness, you can go to the embroidery room in the Governor's Mansion to check and you will know that I didn't even see this dress yesterday. It was delivered by the embroidery room this morning. When I changed into this dress, my mother and several maids were in my room."
When Yu Xiangwei heard that Yu Jinshu wanted Prince Wei to go to the Governor's Mansion to investigate, she was so scared that her face turned red. She wanted to refute, but she didn't know what to say.
Aunt Du was a sharp-witted person. She saw through the clues immediately. "Your Highness, Prince Wei, I think Miss Jinshu was ambushed."
After all, Yu Xiangwei is the daughter of the Governor-General.
Aunt Du was a sensible person and did not dare to reveal Yu Xiangwei easily, so as not to worsen the relationship between Prince Wei and the Governor.
Moreover, Aunt Du also knew that His Royal Highness Prince Wei was a smart man and would definitely be able to see that there was something wrong with Yu Xiangwei.
It is normal for Yu Xiangwei to create some obstacles and plot against Yu Jinshu since she is competing with her sister Yu Jinshu for the position of princess.
What's more, Fang Hongyu had previously told the story of Yu Jinshu and Yu Xiangwei, and also talked about how arrogant and unpleasant Yu Xiangwei's personality was.
Aunt Du could understand Yu Xiangwei's current situation very well.
If Yu Xiangwei cannot become the prince's consort, it may be difficult for her to stay in the Governor's Mansion in the future.
After all, she was born to an evil slave, and Yu Xiangwei's biological parents abused Yu Jinshu for eighteen years.
This hatred was not obvious at the beginning, but if Yu Xiangwei did anything wrong in the Governor's Mansion in the future, the Governor and his wife would definitely feel uncomfortable. As time went on, they would dislike Yu Xiangwei more and more.
The reason why Aunt Du chose Yu Xiangwei among the thirteen people was actually intentional.
Yu Jinshu is so beautiful and is favored by Fang Hongyu, so it is very likely that she will be chosen as the prince's consort.
Aunt Du has been in the palace for so long that she can't stand seeing a woman having an easy life, and thinks that Yu Jinshu needs someone to keep an eye on her.
Song Shiyao wanted to give the Governor-General some face and not argue with Yu Xiangwei. He said calmly, "It's just a torn piece of clothing. It's not a big deal. There's no need to go to the Governor-General's Office to investigate."
He glanced at Yu Xiangwei and said, "Also, I don't believe anyone would cut their own clothes just to attract my attention."
He looked at everyone again, "The candidate for the prince's consort has been decided, and it's Yu Jinshu."
