The already quiet and reserved girl became the focus of everyone's attention, and her expression clearly showed that she was even more nervous.
She glanced at her mother, Princess Yuening, then at Yaoguang, then at her maid, Biyu, before immediately lowering her head.
“Princess, you just saw and heard that the Prince Consort did not blame her at all. Now, please tell us what you saw so that everyone can know the truth and that it was not a maid who framed her.”
Moreover, she was a distinguished guest at the Prince's residence. Even if she damaged the Prince Consort's dam map, the Prince Consort would not hold her accountable, and the Prince and Princess would naturally not reprimand her.
"But if you, Princess, out of kindness, are afraid she will be reprimanded and don't tell the truth, and don't testify for me, I don't care if I suffer injustice or punishment, but it will implicate the Princess and the Prince Consort, making people say they haven't disciplined their servants properly. So, Princess, I beg you to tell everyone the truth." The maid, Biyu, looked at Princess Zhaohua, pleading with utmost sincerity.
Hong Xiaoduo noticed that after hearing what Biyu said, the prince consort looked at Biyu and frowned slightly, while Princess Yuening's face showed a look of doubt.
Hong Xiaoduo suddenly had a thought: before Princess Zhaohua spoke, she wanted to ask the prince consort and the princess whether they believed the maid Biyu or Yaoguang.
But then I think, what would be the point of asking that question?
Biyu was someone they had worked with for many years, so they naturally trusted her a great deal.
And what about Xiao Yaoguang? Even if she looks very similar to the princess, and even if she gets along well with the prince consort, she is still just a child who is meeting the two of them for the first time. How could they believe her and not the person who has served by their side for many years?
If she were to actually ask the question, and the prince consort and princess responded by believing the maid Biyu, even if the couple still spoke kindly and with pleasant expressions towards Yaoguang, it would mean they genuinely didn't blame her. In that case, Yaoguang would still feel uncomfortable.
After I conduct paternity tests for them and inform them of the results, Xiao Yaoguang might develop resentment because of this.
In fact, Hong Xiaoduo was also uncertain. Although Yaoguang was the youngest of the seven children, she was lively, sensible and smart. However, given the current situation, if the princess and the prince consort really believed the maid and Princess Zhaohua, would she develop any resentment towards them when they recognized her later?
First, Yuheng also experienced something similar, but fortunately, none of Prince Yi's family members were confused.
"Princess, I know you are kind-hearted, but if you don't tell the truth, I will be accused of framing you." The maid Biyu pleaded with a sob in her voice when Zhaohua still did not respond.
“Biyu, the princess is still young, introverted and timid. She has never experienced anything like this before. Why are you forcing her like this?” Yuening looked at Biyu, who was silent with her head down, but her small body was stiff and her two small hands on her knees were rubbing a handkerchief. She scolded her in a low voice with great heartache.
The scolded Biyu looked at the princess in disbelief, and seeing the princess's angry expression, she panicked even more: "This servant knows she was wrong, this servant was just worried..."
"Enough! Even I, the prince consort, don't pursue this matter. Why are you, a mere servant, making such a fuss? This is the residence of the princess's uncle, and there are no outsiders here at the moment. Who would say, as you claim, that the princess and I are not strict with our servants?"
Even if we did, the princess and I wouldn't hold a grudge against you. You've been working in the princess's residence for many years; you know our personalities well, don't you?
"If you want the princess to talk about what she saw, why don't the princess and I ask her directly? Why do you have to keep pressuring her with your words?" Yu Rui said with heartache as he looked at Zhao Hua's reaction.
Having just been scolded by the princess and then reprimanded by the prince consort, Biyu had never been subjected to such treatment before, and her face immediately turned pale.
At this moment, Zhao Hua suddenly stood up, her little face tense as she looked at her mother and father.
Seeing that Zhaohua was about to speak, Biyu's expression relaxed slightly.
“Mother, the dam map of Father was not destroyed by Yao Guang. When my daughter, Sister Yuheng, and Yao Guang left the room, we were curious because Yao Guang was writing all the time, so we wanted to see how well she wrote. At that time, apart from the few pieces of writing Yao Guang had written, the desk was not messy, and we did not see the damaged dam map.”
After leaving the room, none of the three of us went back inside. Only Biyu said she would go in to tidy up, and when she came out, she would say that her father's dam map had been damaged.
Father, I did not witness the destruction of your dam map, so I dare not speak presumptuously.
"But my daughter can testify that it wasn't Yaoguang who destroyed it." Zhaohua finished speaking in one breath, glanced guiltily at Biyu kneeling on the ground, and then turned her face away.
After hearing Princess Zhaohua's words, Biyu looked at her in surprise. How could this be? Mingming?
She wanted to tell Princess Zhaohua that she would regret doing this, but when she saw that Miss Hong looking at her with a half-smile, even though it was almost summer, Biyu felt a chill creeping up from the soles of her feet, icy and bone-chilling.
Princess Yuening had already walked to Zhaohua's side and was gently comforting her.
Hong Xiaoduo shifted her gaze from Biyu's face back to Princess Zhaohua's face. To be honest, she was quite surprised. Although she didn't know what Biyu had said to the girl beforehand, it was clear that the girl hadn't listened to Biyu.
Looking at Zhaohua, who is the same age as Yaoguang and has the same pure eyes, the difference between her and Yaoguang is that even if the two girls stand side by side without saying anything, Yaoguang is lively at first glance, while Zhaohua is as serene and beautiful as a little flower quietly blooming in early spring.
