Zou Yangyao's face was full of suspicion: "Princess Regent, why did you bring her here?"
He couldn't forget Tai Banxue, so he deliberately lied that he was still sick and hoped that Xiao Chuer would die of illness.
Ni Yueshan took the lead and explained, "The Tai Mansion and the General's Mansion have always had a bad relationship, so naturally they've been at odds with each other, always wanting to step on each other, but...some people regret doing bad things afterward!"
Zou Yangyao looked at Ni Yueshan in confusion, waiting for Ni Yueshan to continue.
Tai Banxue lowered her head in shame and said nothing.
Ni Yueshan continued to explain, "So, this Miss Tai went around making false accusations about your wife and my husband, saying that on their wedding night, one of them was raped, and the other used force. Those rumors are unpleasant to hear, but since you're recovering from your injuries, the servants probably didn't dare to mention them in front of you. I don't know how much you've heard."
Zou Yangyao frowned, and there was a hint of anger on his resolute face.
Ni Yueshan quickly spoke up: "But, don't worry, no matter how much trouble Miss Tai has caused, she will solve it one by one!"
"So what exactly do you want to do here today?" Zou Yangyao frowned tightly, and it seemed that he still had hostility.
Tai Banxue raised her head and said, "Of course I'm here to apologize!"
Then she bowed deeply and said, "General, I will do everything I can to reverse the rumors. Please give me a chance to reform myself. Don't be angry anymore. It's not worth it!"
Tai Banxue's attitude seemed very sincere, but Zou Yangyao's brows were still furrowed. Before Zou Yangyao could speak, Ni Yueshan spoke first, "General Zou, although this person has made mistakes, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, she is our enemy. You can communicate with your wife through her."
Ni Yueshan's words really attracted Zou Yangyao.
I wanted to get angry, but my anger gradually faded away.
"It's a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Well, get up now, and I won't blame you. Also, suppress the rumors as soon as possible. I won't allow anyone to slander Chu'er's reputation!"
"Okay, I definitely will!" Tai Banxue cooperated sincerely.
Afterwards, Tai Banxue and Ni Yueshan left together.
"Thank you, Princess, for speaking up for me today. If I had come alone, I don't know what General Zou would have done to me."
As she spoke, she felt a little lonely. She had originally thought that one day in the future she would stand beside Zou Yangyao, but she had never expected that it would turn out like this.
She sighed, regretful.
"You paid with your life for all these. Helping us deliver messages in the palace is not an easy task!" Ni Yueshan looked at Tai Banxue, his temperament was cold, like a snow plum, awe-inspiring and aloof.
After the two left the general's mansion, they went their separate ways, and Ni Yueshan got on the carriage back to the palace.
I heard people on the street saying, "It's so tragic! The body was burned beyond recognition. It's impossible to recognize who it is."
Another person chimed in, "Yeah, I heard that it was that man who gave the swords to the Prince Regent and General Zou. They were competing against each other. This guy made an unintentional mistake. A beating and scolding should have been fine, but he actually took someone's life. I don't know who did it!"
"The injured person is the Regent. I think it was the Regent who did it!"
"I don't think so. That man is dead. What if he was murdered to silence him? Who knows if General Zou deliberately let the servants in the mansion take the rusty sword? In short, there are no good people in high positions of power!"
Sitting in the carriage, listening to the discussions outside, Ni Yueshan found it interesting.
She was just passing by here, but she happened to hear all this. Was it a coincidence, or was it deliberately arranged by someone?
Ni Yueshan lifted the carriage curtain and ordered Qingfeng outside, "Go and investigate whether the person they are talking about was really burned to death and his face was unrecognizable."
"Yes!" Qing Feng obeyed and turned to leave.
Ni Yueshan withdrew his gaze and continued to sit upright.
After arriving at the palace, Ni Yueshan told Jing Yuchen what he had heard on the street.
When Jing Yuchen heard this, his expression was calm: "If it was deliberately arranged by others, it is nothing more than luring us into a trap. It's no big deal."
Ni Yueshan tilted her head and looked at Jing Yuchen. "What about you? How long has it been since you went to court? You stay at home all day, not making any money. How are you going to support me, you, and Xue'er?"
"Don't you also have a gold jewelry store?" Jing Yuchen frowned slightly, and he was just about to say that he wanted to be a gigolo.
Ni Yueshan snorted, "An Le Ju has always needed to pay for it. What's the use of my money?"
"That's true. Let's be frugal." Jing Yuchen said, still lying on the bed, unwilling to get up. He looked so lazy.
Ni Yueshan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Then I'm going to see Xue'er. You just lie down."
Ni Yueshan walked out, looking helpless. She held Xue'er and coaxed her for a long time before Qingfeng came back.
"Princess, I'm back."
Ni Yueshan looked at her seriously, "How's the investigation going?"
