Chapter 92: Give Him a Taste of His Own
(The word count of the previous chapter has been increased. If you can’t follow it, please go back and read it.)
Prince An wanted to bring Princess Anping back and give her a beating.
If this evil girl hadn't messed up the plan, he wouldn't be in such a passive position.
He pulled the corners of his stiff lips and found an excuse to explain.
"Prince Chen, you are too serious. Miss Ye is both talented and beautiful, so it is inevitable that she will arouse jealousy. The person behind the scenes may not be targeting Prince An's Mansion."
This was to tell the people he bribed that if they were found out, they should answer like this.
Qi Yanzhou smiled and said, "Since Prince An doesn't want to delve into this, just assume that I didn't say anything."
After saying that, he looked at Ye Chutang.
"Miss Ye is the victim, how do you plan to deal with it?"
Before Ye Chutang could speak, Ye Jingchuan said, "Since Chu'er is fine, we won't bother about it."
Ye Chutang's eyes moved as he looked at Ye Jingchuan mockingly.
"Dad, I thought you were different from Prince An and would protect your daughter, but you chose to tolerate the person who wanted to kill me. This makes your daughter have to suspect that you two are in the same group."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Ye Jingchuan and Prince An with strange eyes.
If they are not in the same group, how can we not pursue the matter?
Facing everyone's suspicious looks, Ye Jingchuan hurriedly explained.
"Chu'er, Dad means to wait until after Princess An's birthday banquet before investigating this matter."
Qi Yanzhou immediately brought out the explanation given by the Shaoqing of Dali Temple for investigating the case.
"Minister Ye, this is wrong. Only by investigating now can we easily find the murderer."
Ye Chutang nodded in agreement.
"If the murderer is not found, they will definitely go further and ruin Princess An's birthday party."
As she spoke, she looked towards Prince An.
"Your Majesty, do you think what my daughter said is right?"
Prince An saw that he couldn't get away with it, so he said, "Miss Ye is absolutely right. We have to investigate!"
He asked, "I wonder if Miss Ye has any suspicions?"
Ye Chutang looked at the official lady who was trying to trip her.
The official’s wife lowered her head guiltily, her hands clenched tightly under her sleeves, and she was extremely nervous.
She kept telling herself in her heart: Ye Chutang has no evidence, so just refuse to admit it!
Ye Chutang saw through Mrs. Guan’s thoughts at a glance and curled his lips in mockery.
She raised her hand and pointed directly at the official's wife.
"It was her who tried to trip me into the lotus pond."
The official’s wife immediately denied it.
“Miss Ye, you can’t just talk nonsense because you think I’m easy to bully, right?”
"You were standing behind me, with your left foot extended."
Mrs. Guan knelt down in front of Prince An, feeling aggrieved and angry.
"Your Majesty, I have none of that."
Ye Chutang: "You were wearing brown pearl-embroidered shoes. I think a pearl fell off your ankle and was later replaced. That pearl is brighter than the others."
When the official’s wife heard this, she panicked.
"Miss Ye, this only proves that you are a careful observer, but it doesn't prove that I want to harm you."
Ye Chutang said firmly, "Yes!"
Princess An felt that as long as Ye Chutang didn't catch Madam Liu tripping her on the spot, she would have to swallow this loss in silence.
She asked curiously, "How is Miss Ye going to prove that it was Madam Liu who did it?"
"Mrs. Liu's skirt is a bit long today, completely covering her feet. Her shoes won't be visible when she walks normally."
Although Ye Chutang only spoke half of his words, everyone understood.
As long as it is confirmed that the pearls on Mrs. Liu's left shoe are as Ye Chutang said, it means that it was her who stretched out her foot.
Mrs. Liu knew that she was finished, and she collapsed to the ground, her face ashen.
"No need to check. I was the one who tripped Miss Ye, but I just wanted to embarrass Miss Ye. I didn't mean to kill her."
"Miss Ye, are you curious about why I do this? Because I am Xu Kang's aunt!"
Ye Chutang thought for a while before remembering who Xu Kang was.
A man who overestimated his own abilities and tried to kidnap her, but was crippled by her!
But she knew that this was just an excuse made by Mrs. Liu.
"Who is the person cooperating with you?"
“No one cooperated. I was also surprised when I heard someone shouting that Miss Ye had fallen into the water.”
Ye Chutang walked up to Madam Liu and kicked her into the lotus pond.
"Now, we're even."
After saying that, she activated her earth-related abilities and used mud to squeeze Madam Liu's left foot until it was crushed.
Mrs. Liu couldn't swim, and when she was struggling, she felt a piercing pain in her left foot.
She screamed in pain and fainted.
Princess An felt something was wrong when she saw Madam Liu sink under the water in the blink of an eye.
She immediately shouted, "Someone, save Madam Liu!"
Prince An didn't want anyone to die, so he immediately ordered his servant to go into the water to rescue the man.
The unconscious Mrs. Liu was quickly rescued to shore and sent to the wing room for treatment.
The person who was hiding behind and calling for help was also pulled out by Ye Chutang through the sound.
"Tell me, why did you shout that I fell into the water?"
"Because I'm jealous of you. Ever since you appeared in the capital, those men have lost their eyes to other women.
When I realized Mrs. Liu's intention, I immediately came up with a plan.
With your fame and beauty, if those men knew you fell into the water, they would definitely rush to rescue you.
As long as they get close to you and have physical contact with you, your reputation will be completely ruined! ”
The woman said this with a self-deprecating laugh.
"It's a pity that you were so lucky to be saved by the kind princess. Not only did it ruin my plan, but it also exposed me. God is really blind."
Although this reason is reasonable, it is full of loopholes.
Prince An didn't want Ye Chutang to dig deeper.
He quickly said: "The matter has been clarified, and the rest will be left to Miss Ye."
After saying this, he bowed to the prince.
"I am sorry for disturbing the Crown Prince and everyone else's interest. I will drink three cups as punishment when we go to the main hall later."
Princess An also said to the female relatives: "I have invited the best opera troupe, and the stage should be set up. Everyone, please go back to the theater."
When everyone was leaving the lotus pond, they suddenly heard the sound of someone falling into the water.
It was Ye Chutang who threw the woman into the lotus pond.
She squatted on the shore, looking at the woman who was struggling because she couldn't swim, and smiled with her eyes curved.
"Now, it's your turn to lose your reputation."
After saying this, she looked at the servants in the palace.
"Whoever saves her will be able to marry her, escape slavery and soar to the sky. If no one saves her, there will be one more dead soul in the lotus pond."
Ye Chutang's punishment on the woman was nothing more than giving her back in her own way.
No one would say anything bad about her.
Prince An had no choice but to ask the housekeeper's son to go to the lotus pond to rescue people.
After the woman was rescued to the shore, she realized that the person who saved her was a servant from the palace, and she broke down and cried.
All I got in return was the words "you deserve it".
Princess An called the maid and said, "Send Miss Fang to the side room to change her clothes."
The farce caused by a calculation ended here.
Ye Jingchuan touched the white jade bottle in his sleeve pocket and said to Ye Chutang, "Chu'er, come with Dad."
Regardless of whether the poisoning is successful or not, he will give it a try.
Ye Chutang noticed Ye Jingchuan's little move and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Liangting, Dad has something to tell you."
"Okay, let's go."
The back garden of Prince An's Mansion is very large and has three pavilions.
Ye Jingchuan took Ye Chutang to the pavilion closest to the flower hall.
"Someone, bring a pot of tea."
Ye Chutang instantly understood that the main reason Ye Jingchuan called her here was for the tea.
