The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was used to all kinds of scenes, and it was not the first time that someone stopped her and asked her to cry for help.
She stopped and looked down, her expression calm and not surprised. It only took her a moment to recall the identity of the woman in front of her.
If she remembered correctly, this was the maidservant beside Hua Yuanzhao?
Aunt Su rushed over after hearing the news. She was startled when she saw Fuling blocking her way. She pointed at her and shouted, "Someone! Take her down! Don't offend Madam Rong!"
"Wait." The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo said softly.
Nanny Gu beside her heard what she meant and immediately moved forward, secretly protecting Fuling in her circle of protection.
"Madam! My young lady said during the day that she would help Madam Xu in the future. She would definitely not take Madam Xu away at this time!" Fuling shouted anxiously with red eyes.
"How dare you, a maid, talk nonsense here!" Aunt Su scolded angrily: "Tell me the truth, where did your young lady hide with her people?"
Fuling desperately shook her head, and when she looked at the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, it was as if she was looking at a savior.
"If my young lady had escaped, she would never have left me alone! She must have been caught!"
She cried softly, "My lady once said that people do bad things for a purpose! What good will it be for my lady to take Madam Xu away?"
Fuling glanced at Prime Minister Hua who was walking towards them, and raised her voice and shouted, "On the contrary, Auntie, I wonder how happy she must be! Maybe Auntie bribed Zhu'er to drug Madam Xu in order to kidnap Miss and Madam Xu, so as to frame my Miss!"
Aunt Su's heart skipped a beat and she almost couldn't control her expression.
She is just a lowly maid, how could she say such a thing! Could it be that the little bitch said something nonsense?
After Fuling shouted, she shuddered as well, and there was fear in her eyes when she looked at Aunt Su.
——Could it really be her?
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo raised her eyebrows and looked at Aunt Su's changed expression and Prime Minister Hua who suddenly stopped in his tracks with a playful look.
"What this girl said seems to make some sense." The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo said slowly, "What do you think, Lord Hua?"
Aunt Su was furious and panicked. She angrily yelled at the servants in the yard: "Are you all dead? Hurry up and take down this slave girl!"
After she finished cursing, she looked at Prime Minister Hua again, twisting her handkerchief aggrievedly and said, "Master, Prince Rong and Princess Lin'an climbed over the wall tonight and came to visit us. Who knows..."
She stopped talking meaningfully, and glanced at the face of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Prime Minister Hua understood what was going on, and he looked at the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo with an unfriendly look.
What happened tonight might be related to the two young people in the Zhenguo Mansion! No matter how powerful the Zhenguo Mansion is, it is wrong to kidnap the bride on the wedding night!
Moreover, the more the generals and ministers disagree, the more at ease the one sitting on the throne will be...
"Madam Rong, this matter is my Hua family's private matter, so please don't worry about it." Prime Minister Hua suppressed his anger, and his attitude was clear.
Fuling was already trembling with fear, but at this point, who else except the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo could save the young lady?
What if the young lady is being locked up and tortured by Aunt Su right now? Fuling thought, her legs trembling with fear, tears streaming down her face.
With Prime Minister Hua's support, Aunt Su proudly yelled at the servants, "What are you all standing there for?"
"What on earth is going on?"
Suddenly, a clear female voice was heard, and many servants were so frightened that they looked at her as if they had seen a ghost. For a moment, they didn't know what to do.
"After all, it's my father's big day, why is it such a mess?" the man continued, walking towards the astonished eyes of the crowd.
"Miss..." Fuling cried out, and her tense body suddenly relaxed.
Fortunately! Miss is fine!
Hua Yuanzhao walked over as if nothing had happened, looking calm and composed, as if he had no idea what was going on.
“Sister Hua!” Princess Lin’an rushed over and hugged Hua Yuanzhao’s arm and shook it: “Where have you been? Why did you come back so suddenly? Are you hurt?”
Hua Yuanzhao looked puzzled: "What can I do?"
As she spoke, she looked at Princess Lin'an in confusion: "But why are you here?"
Hua Yuanzhao paused, knelt down and saluted to the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, then cast a confused look at Prime Minister Hua.
"Father, this is..."
Prime Minister Hua was almost fooled by her innocent look, but it was only after Aunt Su looked at him that he reacted.
"Evil creature! Where did you hide Xu?"
