She had never thought of committing suicide by cutting her wrists when she was in the brothel, and this time it happened so suddenly. She felt that she was not the one who suffered the loss, so she would not do such a stupid thing.
Duan Qingxi nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. You should have a good rest first."
Chan Xue nodded. Seeing that she was not seriously injured and her body was recovering little by little, Duan Qingxi asked Qiao Yun to stay with her and went out first.
Duan Sijin was standing in front of the yard at this moment. When he saw Duan Qingxi coming out, he subconsciously wanted to leave, but was stopped by Duan Qingxi.
"elder brother."
Duan Sijin could only stop and turn to look at her, but his face looked very haggard. He must have been feeling very uncomfortable during this period and had been blaming himself and feeling guilty.
Duan Qingxi walked over and said, "Why are you here? Why don't you go in and take a look?"
Duan Sijin glanced at the door before saying, "I heard you talking just now. I knew she was awake, so I didn't dare go in."
Duan Qingxi asked, "Did you hear us talking? Did you hear what we said?"
Duan Sijin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I didn't dare to listen. I'm not that kind of person."
He felt that even if someone wanted to tell Chan Xue, it would probably be Duan Qingxi and Qiao Yun who were inside comforting Chan Xue, and Chan Xue must be feeling very uncomfortable when she thought of that incident.
He really didn't dare to listen, for fear of hearing Chanxue crying.
Duan Qingxi knew what he was thinking from his expression, so she said, "Just now, Chanxue told me that she didn't intend to slit her wrists and commit suicide. She doesn't look like she's lying, and this incident is strange in the first place. I think... most likely someone is deliberately plotting to hurt you, so..."
"What did you say?! You said... Xue'er didn't want to commit suicide?!"
He suddenly shouted, and Duan Qingxi was frightened, but she could also understand his mood at the moment. She smiled and said, "Yes, are you happy? Xue'er didn't want to commit suicide. Someone cut her wrists and pretended it was suicide."
In fact, if Duan Sijin had been calmer and more rational at that time, he would have definitely discovered it, but the circumstances were special at the time, and Duan Sijin didn't have the mind to pay attention to those things, so everyone mistakenly thought that Chan Xue was going to commit suicide.
So the question is, if Chanxue didn't want to commit suicide because she was depressed, why was her wrist cut?
Moreover, both Duan Sijin and Chan Xue felt that someone had drugged them at that time. What was going on?
Duan Sijin was really happy now. His mind was full of the fact that Chanxue did not commit suicide. He even wanted to go see Chanxue, but was stopped by Duan Qingxi.
She said, "Although Xue'er didn't intend to commit suicide, it doesn't mean that she doesn't mind. What's more, the most important thing now is to figure out what's going on. You and Xue'er can talk about it later..."
Duan Sijin was so happy that his face was full of relief. He nodded, but he had no intention of discussing what would happen next with Duan Qingxi.
Duan Qingxi was happy to see him like that, and even felt that there was still hope of bringing Duan Sijin and Chan Xue together, but... even so, she still had to respect Chan Xue's opinion.
Although Duan Sijin was happy, he didn't dare to really go to see Chanxue. He just stood outside the yard and didn't let anyone tell Chanxue that he was outside.
Chanxue had Qiaoyun by his side, and he recovered well after waking up.
However, Duan Qingxi did not allow her to go out casually. At most, she could only walk in the yard. Seeing this, Duan Sijin did not dare to enter the yard, but watched from a distance outside the yard.
In fact, this matter was nothing. No matter who plotted against Duan Sijin, even if something did happen between Duan Sijin and Chan Xue, it was the business of the General's Mansion. But there was a rumor that came from somewhere, saying that Duan Sijin and Duan Qingxi had an affair!
The rumor was not widely spread, but unexpectedly, a woman actually hanged herself and left a suicide note saying that she had seen Duan Sijin and Duan Qingxi having an affair in the inn several times. She was forced to conceal this fact, but she really didn't want to hide such a dirty thing for them, so she could only tell everything in this way.
This matter is not simple and it immediately attracted everyone's attention!
If this matter is not handled properly, even if Duan Qingxi is a first-rank princess and a disciple of Master Qingyuan, even if Duan Sijin is deeply favored by the emperor, even if he is the only legitimate son of the general's mansion, the emperor cannot be partial to him, so as not to arouse public anger.
Duan Qingxi sat beside the Zenxue bed, with a sullen face and silent.
Chanxue and Qiaoyun were both very worried, but they didn't know what to say.
After a while, Chan Xue finally said, "Princess, what should we do now? Otherwise... I, I..."
Duan Qingxi looked at her and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter. Besides... I also want to see who is repeatedly targeting our General's Mansion!"
At this moment, Xuan Yi and Xuan Er appeared.
Duan Qingxi went out to meet them, and Chanxue and Qiaoyun followed him out.
"Have you found out?"
Xuan Yi and Xuan Er bowed before saying, "We've investigated and found out it was the Fifth Princess who did it."
"who?"
Duan Qingxi thought of many possibilities and suspected that it was Duan Shishi, but she quickly rejected them because Duan Shishi was also a member of the General's Mansion. Although she married Helian Yun and became the Fifth Princess, the General's Mansion was still her mother's home. If something really happened to the General's Mansion, she would not get any benefits!
But unexpectedly, it was actually Duan Shishi who did it!
Duan Qingxi angrily said, "This brain-damaged bastard, is she crazy?!"
Qiao Yun also exchanged glances with Chan Xue and asked in confusion, "Why did she do this?"
