Chu Jinmiao said she wanted to write in the anteroom, and the other girls also joined in. In the end, the small anteroom was packed with people. Everyone held a pen and knelt in front of the desk to write.

Lin Xiyuan said to Chu Jinyao, "Cousin, there is no room for the table here. Move it over there."

"No." Chu Jinyao turned around and glared at him, "I can't sit here. Go find another place outside."

"Me neither." Lin Xiyuan forced himself to sit next to Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao felt that this man was simply insane. She was forced to sit to the right and lowered her head to continue writing.

Lin Xiyuan didn't care about Chu Jinyao's indifference. He rested one hand on the desk, slightly supported his chin, and watched Chu Jinyao write with a smile. After a while, he asked, "You seem to be a little unfamiliar with the way you write, you must be a beginner. Why is your handwriting so heroic and not like a woman's?" Her handwriting

was taught by Qin Yi, so of course it was heroic. Chu Jinyao said, "Maybe I grew up like a boy, so my handwriting is like a man's."

Lin Xiyuan chuckled, he held his head with his hands, and couldn't help laughing. Chu Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that he was thinking about the day she jumped over the wall.

What you fear is bound to happen. Many people looked at Lin Xiyuan and asked, "Prince, what are you laughing at?"

Chu Jinyao's face was frozen, for fear that Lin Xiyuan would say it out. Fortunately, Lin Xiyuan just waved his hands, suppressed his laughter and said, "I just thought of a cat, it's okay."

"Cat?" Lin Xining thought for a while and asked doubtfully, "There are no cats in the palace of the king and the palace of the marquis."

Lin Xiyuan smiled but said nothing, Chu Jinyao lowered her head and pretended not to hear.

The others had been staring at Lin Xiyuan's movements, and when they saw that he finally started to turn the pages of the book, they turned their heads one after another. When everyone else's eyes had moved away, Lin Xiyuan whispered to Chu Jinyao, "I said that if I won't tell others, I will definitely do it."

Chu Jinyao paused the tip of her pen, she looked up at Lin Xiyuan, said nothing, and lowered her head again.

Qin Yi, however, hummed secretly in the jade pendant. A few years ago, Prince Huailing brought Lin Xiyuan to the capital to pay tribute, and also brought Lin Xiyuan to the East Palace to meet him. At that time, Qin Yi only thought that Lin Xiyuan was stable and generous, and was a promising talent. He didn't expect that in private, Lin Xiyuan was very good at pleasing girls.

Chu Jinmiao glanced back secretly, then took out a poetry book and deliberately flipped through it a few times. The third girl raised her voice and asked, "Fourth sister, what is this?"

Chu Jinmiao said, "I wrote some random poems some time ago. They are too messy. I plan to copy a new one."

The third girl picked up the collection of poems and looked at it. She said, "Is this the original manuscript? Oh, this is a precious thing. I don't know how long it took you to write it. You must keep it well. If someone accidentally spills water on it, all your hard work will be ruined."

"How could that be." Chu Jinmiao smiled, "Grandmother, there won't be such a reckless girl here."

When the Sixth Miss heard them say this, she also came over to join in the fun: "I heard you talking about a poetry collection. What poetry collection is it?"

When Chu Jinmiao saw the Sixth Miss coming, she flipped through the books twice and put the poetry collection under the book: "I wrote it casually. It's not worth a careful look."

When the Sixth Miss saw Chu Jinmiao put away the poetry collection, she smiled and said, "Fourth sister, you are too humble. You are the most talented among us sisters. If the poems you carefully wrote are still written casually, what should we do?"

Although the Sixth Miss said this, she was a little dissatisfied in her heart. Chu Jinmiao's poems were praised by her family, but the Sixth Miss thought they were just some vassal works that were made up to express sadness. Moreover, she was not allowed to read them now. The Sixth Miss thought it was funny that she was still on guard against her. Who would want to read them?

Chu Jinmiao had already copied two pages. She said, "It's too boring to stay here. Let's go out and relax! We can write together when we come back."

The Seventh Miss was impatient for a long time. After hearing this, she immediately agreed. The Third Miss also responded actively. The Sixth Miss was fine. When Lin Xining saw that Chu Jinmiao was going out, he of course accompanied her. In the end, everyone in the mansion wanted to go out to play.

Chu Jinmiao smiled and looked at Chu Jinyao: "Fifth sister, we are going out, what about you?"

Chu Jinmiao was hosting, but Chu Jinyao didn't want to go. She said: "I won't go, you guys just have fun."

Chu Jinmiao had expected this answer, and she looked at Lin Xiyuan again: "Prince, you..."

Lin Xiyuan turned a page of the book and said: "I am too lazy to go out, you guys go."

Chu Jinmiao was a little hesitant, and the third lady secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly said: "Fifth sister is too lazy to move, it's better for her to stay in the embankment. If the prince also stays, I'm afraid..."

Lin Xiyuan raised his head, although he was still smiling, but the third lady shuddered inexplicably. But the dark light in Lin Xiyuan's eyes soon disappeared. He thought that he and Chu Jinyao were not legitimate cousins. If he stayed by force, it would only be bad for Chu Jinyao's reputation. Thinking of this, Lin Xiyuan could only stand up and said with strong annoyance: "Okay, let's go out together."

Lin Xiyuan waited for a large group of people to leave in a mighty manner. After everyone left, the building suddenly became much quieter. Chu Jinyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, everyone left."

Qin Yi looked at him for a long time, but he was inexplicably unhappy. He said to Chu Jinyao: "Next time you go out, you don't have to avoid them. You are Chu Jing's legitimate daughter. Even if they avoid them, they are avoiding you. How can you stay and let them go?"

"It's me who doesn't want to go." Chu Jinyao said, "Following such a large group of people, it may take a long time. First, I want to practice calligraphy well, and second, don't you still have you! If I go out, I won't be able to talk to you for a long time."

This reason made Qin Yi speechless. After a long while, he sighed: "You are so stubborn."

Chu Jinyao was writing quietly in the anteroom. There was no one else in the anteroom, which made her feel more quiet. After a while, Lin Xiyuan came in. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Chu Jinyao still writing. He raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Have you been writing for such a long time?"

"Yeah." Chu Jinyao looked up and asked, "Why did the prince come back? Where are the others?"

"They went to watch the fish. I don't like these, so I came back first." Lin Xiyuan looked at Chu Jinyao's pen swinging regularly, and couldn't help but sigh, "If my sister had half of your perseverance, my parents wouldn't have to..."

Chu Jinyao waited for a while, and couldn't help looking up and asked with a smile: "Why don't you continue talking, what if it's not necessary?"

Lin Xiyuan looked at Chu Jinyao looking up and smiling at him, and a smile appeared in his eyes. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Nothing."

"I really hate your habit of saying half and hiding the other half. If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why do you have to make people guess?"

Lin Xiyuan was very curious after hearing this: "You? Who else?"

Chu Jinyao blinked and said: "Nothing."

Lin Xiyuan was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed. He always had a smile on his face, and was polite to everyone, but it was rare to see him laugh so happily. Lin Xiyuan couldn't stop laughing. Chu Jinyao thought to herself, if Qin Yi was like this, why was Lin Xiyuan like this too? She felt a little embarrassed and annoyed: "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Xiyuan finally stopped laughing. He looked at Chu Jinyao with sparkling eyes: "Fifth cousin, you are really..."

How is it really? Lin Xiyuan couldn't tell. But before he could figure out what was going on, their conversation was interrupted.

Chu Jinmiao, accompanied by the third young lady, walked into the main building. When she saw Lin Xiyuan and Chu Jinyao, she was slightly stunned: "Prince, why are you back?"

Lin Xiyuan felt inexplicably uncomfortable after hearing this: "Why, shouldn't I come back?"

"That's not the case." Chu Jinmiao smiled politely. She walked to her desk and said while flipping through things, "I went for a walk outside. I'm tired, so I went back to the room to rest. I'd like to ask for mercy from you all here. I hope you won't dislike me. Hey, where is my poetry collection?" "

Poetry collection?" Chu Jinyao didn't understand. What poetry collection? She said, "No one has touched your things, you can look for them yourself."

The third girl wanted to talk to Lin Xiyuan, but seeing Chu Jinmiao rummaging through the books, she had to go over to help: "I remember it was on the table when I left, how come it's gone?"

"Found it!" Chu Jinmiao's maid shouted in surprise, but her voice soon faded, "Miss..."

Chu Jinmiao walked over with a gloomy face: "What's wrong?"

The maid timidly handed the collection of poems to Chu Jinmiao. Chu Jinmiao took it and looked at it, and her fingers trembled with anger. The third girl also shouted loudly: "How could such a good collection of poems be torn into pieces!" Chu Jinyao

didn't take them seriously at first, but now when she heard that something was torn into pieces, her heart was lifted up, and she stood up quickly to take a look. Lin Xiyuan also accompanied Chu Jinyao to check the poetry collection that Chu Jinmiao mentioned.

The poetry collection was written on a blue-covered book. The middle of the book was torn open with great force, and it was completely torn into two halves. The other pages were also torn into small pieces, which was horrible to look at.

Lin Xiyuan felt something was wrong: "It looks like it was torn open by brute force. There was only my fifth cousin in the bridal chamber, how could it be like this?"

Chu Jinmiao immediately said: "Yes, she was the only one in the bridal chamber! Fifth Miss, why don't you tell me, what happened?"

Chu Jinyao frowned and took a piece of torn paper and looked at it carefully. Hearing Chu Jinmiao's question, she looked up and said, "Why are you asking me what I did? It wasn't me who did it. Are you trying to frame me?"

"You didn't do it? But you were the only one in the boudoir. If you didn't tear it up, how could I have torn it up by myself?"

The third girl said quietly, "When we went out, the fourth sister showed it to me and the sixth sister. At that time, the collection of poems was still complete. We haven't been back for some time, and the fifth sister was the only one in the boudoir. Even if the fourth sister wanted to tear it up herself, I'm afraid she couldn't do it."

"The fifth cousin was not the only one in the boudoir." Lin Xiyuan suddenly spoke. His face was serious. He just glanced at the third girl lightly, which made the third girl dare not look at him. Lin Xiyuan said, "I also returned to the mansion early. So it seems that I am also a suspect."

"How could it be?" Chu Jinmiao did not dare to bring up the prince of Huailing Palace. She carefully searched for words, "How could the prince be like this? We dare not think so."

Lin Xiyuan suppressed his anger and said, "Then you dare to think of the fifth cousin like this?"

Chu Jinmiao did not speak. The third girl said, "This is an indisputable fact. It was fine when we went out, but it was torn to pieces when we came back. Apart from the fifth cousin, we can't think of any other possibility."

Chu Jinmiao said, "Fifth girl, I know you have always disliked me, but you can just vent your anger on me. Why did you secretly tear up my collection of poems? This is the result of my hard work for a year. Even if you deliberately targeted me, you can't do this!"

"Who said I tore it?" Chu Jinyao stared at Chu Jinmiao and suddenly laughed, "No wonder, it turns out that you two had discussed it long ago."

At this point, how could Chu Jinyao not see that Chu Jinmiao and the third lady had also formed an alliance, and today they deliberately set a trap for her. Chu Jinyao definitely did not touch any poetry collection, but she had been staying in the wing. When she went out, Chu Jinmiao showed the book to everyone. Why did it become torn after she came back? Chu

Jinyao frowned, and couldn't figure out the connection. Qin Yi looked at the cracks on the book and felt that something was wrong. But there were too many people here, Qin Yi couldn't remind Chu Jinyao. If he continued talking and was overheard by others, both he and Chu Jinyao would be in trouble.

Chu Jinmiao snorted coldly and said, "I knew you always hated me, but I really didn't expect that you would dislike me so much. If you have anything to say to me, just come to me. Why did you tear up my poetry collection? You must think in your heart that I have taken everything from you! That's why you are angry at my hard work."

Chu Jinyao was already angry because he was wronged. Hearing Chu Jinmiao still talking nonsense, he couldn't control his temper even more. Chu Jinyao said to Chu Jinmiao coldly: "Okay, you are right, and mother is also right, so is it my fault? Who do you think was greedy for money and had evil intentions? Who did they deliberately switch me for?" Chu

Jinyao wanted to say these words a long time ago. Chu Jinmiao always looked like "I am innocent, I know nothing", but why didn't she think about why Su's father and mother wanted to switch the two children? It was to let Chu Jinmiao live a good life. It is true that Su's father and mother are vicious and selfish, but can Chu Jinmiao really enjoy the glory that her parents deceived her with peace of mind, and still righteously accuse Chu Jinyao, the real and only victim?

Chu Jinmiao had enjoyed thirteen years of wealth and splendor, but now she was just trying to shirk everything with a sentence like "I don't want it, I'm innocent". It was too much of a swindle.

Chu Jinmiao's face changed drastically. She never allowed others to mention the Su family in front of her, and she didn't think they were her biological parents. Now that Chu Jinyao had poked her in the wound, Chu Jinmiao immediately became agitated and was shaking with anger. She suddenly took off the bracelet on her hand and threw it to the ground. The sound of jade shattering suddenly rang out, startling everyone in the room, but she was still taking off the jewelry from her head and throwing them on the ground with a crackling sound: "Yes, it's all my fault. I'm returning them all to you now!"

The maids and servants in the bridal chamber were all startled and hurried over to comfort Chu Jinmiao: "Miss, don't do that. Don't hurt your hands."

The sound of the bridal chamber breaking startled the people outside, and Nanny Gu She came over to check and saw the broken pieces all over the floor of the building. She kept saying, "What happened? Stop it, Fourth Miss!"

However, Chu Jinmiao didn't listen and continued to throw things and jewelry crazily. Qin Yi didn't want to be exposed and quickly said to Chu Jinyao, "Get out of the way!"

Chu Jinyao was frightened by Chu Jinmiao's sudden madness. After hearing Qin Yi's words, she woke up from a dream and quickly got out of the way. Chu Jinmiao was still throwing things crazily, and Chu Jinyao hid early, so fortunately she was not hit by the broken pieces.

The third girl was cut on the hand by a broken porcelain shard. She was shocked at the situation. She covered the back of her hand with her uninjured hand. She was disgusted. Why was Chu Jinmiao so unwilling to be talked to and couldn't afford to lose? It was just about the Su family. All these were true. Why was she so angry? The prince was still here. It was simply a joke!

The old lady and Chu Zhu also came over. Old lady Chu smashed her cane on the ground and said sternly, "Stop it!"

When Old lady Chu came, Chu Jinmiao finally calmed down a little. Seeing the situation, the maids and servants rushed forward to hug her. Madam Chu was so angry that her face turned blue. She said, "You are a noble lady from a noble family, but you actually did such a thing. All of you, kneel down before me!"
