"Taoye, take it!"
With outsiders here, it was not the time to talk about the innocence of his son's marriage.
"My slave, thank you Miss Chen!"
Tao Ye walked up to Chen Shujun, and before she even lowered her head, the person sitting on the round stool stood up and personally handed the gift list from the maid's hand to Tao Ye's hand.
"Ms. Chen, you said that girl Taoye saved you. What happened the night before?"
Gu Yunqing was still a little confused.
The son said that Taoye was knocked unconscious by the thieves and taken away. Yunrou said that Taoye was taken away by Master Wei Er. Miss Chen in front of her said that Taoye saved her life.
"Don't you know, madam?"
Chen Shujun raised her head and said in surprise.
"I thought Miss Xie San was here and she should tell everything to Madam!"
Chen Shujun glanced at Xie Yunrou again.
"Just as we are talking about this! Sister Chen is here!"
Xie Yunrou's eyes drifted from the two people standing together, her eyes darkening a bit.
"Then it's better for Miss Xie San to talk about this matter. After all, it involves the in-laws of the Xie family, and I can't say it in front of Miss Xie San!"
Chen Shujun's words revealed her embarrassment.
Tao Ye next to her looked at the list in her hand and felt happy in her heart.
Miss Xie San has never mentioned that Young Master Wei plotted against the Fifth Young Master at the hunting ground. She was worried that the Fifth Young Master would blame her for scaring his wife. She had just mentioned it tactfully, but when Miss Chen asked, the matter was gone. It must be said.
"I only heard my father and brother mention it. It seems that the fifth young master had a quarrel with the second young master of the Wei family. He was dissatisfied. He happened to meet Miss Taoye. Everyone has heard about the temper of the second young master Wei..."
Xie Yunrou considered her words carefully.
"It turns out that Miss Xie San didn't hear the whole story, so I'm going to be the talkative person today!"
Chen Shujun felt angry when she heard those words. When she talked too much, she looked at Xie Yunrou with a smile.
The corners of the latter's mouth stiffened slightly.
"Madam, the thing is like this. Miss Taoye was ordered by the princess to go to the foot of the mountain to collect osmanthus dew that night. Shujun felt it was fresh, so she followed her. Unexpectedly, not long after she arrived there, she heard Master Wei Er and The secret message from my servants is that they are plotting to kill Young Master Rong Wu!"
"What! Trying to kill my son!"
Gu Yunqing was so excited that he dropped the tea cup in his hand to the ground.
"Ma'am, be careful!"
Xie Yunrou beside her quickly stood up to wipe the tea on Gu Yunqing's skirt.
Taoye immediately gave Huicao a look.
"I don't dare to work, Miss Xie San, let the servant do it!"
Huicao had been working with Taoye before, and there was a tacit understanding between the two. She hurriedly stepped forward to support Xie Yunrou, knelt down, took a handkerchief and wiped it with Gu Yunqing, and then picked up the tea cup on the ground. Bixiao next to her He Biyun also reacted at this time and took a dry cloth to wipe away the water stains on the ground.
Xie Yunrou had no place to interfere.
"Fortunately, fifth young master Rong was lucky and nothing happened!"
"That night, Tao Ye was really scared. In fact, she said she was trying to save me, but this girl rushed out so recklessly. She was also anxious for me to tell others about it!"
"The people following Mr. Wei Er are very skilled in martial arts. Tao Ye was almost hit by an arrow. Fortunately, this girl is very lucky."
"I became timid. I waited until the attendant knocked Tao Ye unconscious and took him away, and Young Master Wei also went to the other side, and then I went to the camp to bring reinforcements!"
Chen Shujun said the rest of her words very neatly.
After hearing this, Taoye felt secretly grateful and truly admired this Miss Chen.
What he said just now is both true and false, but the important thing is that it emphasizes that the second young master Wei only asked his men to take him away at that time, and did not follow him, and he inadvertently mentioned his friendship for the fifth young master.
With this latter point in mind, Madam will not only no longer doubt her innocence, but will also look down upon herself.
"You girl, why didn't you tell me about such a dangerous thing the night before?"
Sure enough, Gu Yunqing's eyes suddenly became gentle and pitiful when looking at Tao Ye.
"I forgive you. The fifth young master has told me before to stay away from Master Wei. I'm afraid that if I tell you about this, my wife is suspicious of my innocence, so I don't dare to say anything!"
Taoye knelt down with red eyes.
"Get up quickly. You're still injured. Don't keep kneeling. Just get up and answer!"
Gu Yunqing felt a little unbearable and guilty when she thought that she had indeed doubted the maid's innocence just now.
"It's because Yunrou didn't ask the matter clearly that Madam almost misunderstood Miss Taoye!"
Xie Yunrou stood up and saluted Gu Yunqing, then looked at Tao Ye apologetically.
But Taoye still lowered his head with red eyes.
"I don't blame you, you weren't even there at the time!"
Gu Yunqing only thought that Xie Yunrou was a boudoir girl. She didn't know that things outside were ordinary, so she didn't think of going anywhere else.
"I didn't expect that the second young master Wei would actually murder the fifth young master Rong out of dissatisfaction. The Xie Mansion and the Wei Mansion are in-laws. Yun Rou is really..."
Xie Yunrou's eyebrows were dim and she was so anxious that she almost shed tears, as if she was too embarrassed to face Gu Yunqing again.
"What does it have to do with you? The Xie family's family tradition is not as upright as that of the Wei family. When villains gain power, they are all roosters and dog robbers!"
His son is Gu Yunqing's biggest enemy. Now that he mentions the Wei family, he feels filled with hatred.
The Wei family relied on the virtuous concubine to gain favor, and even considered Ajiu's life.
She plans to hand the sign to the palace tomorrow and ask her eldest sister to persuade His Majesty to punish him well.
After Xie Yunrou heard this, she didn't dare to speak and couldn't continue.
The Wei family is the fourth prince's maternal family, and her sister has become the fourth prince's concubine. If Gu Yunqing's words were taken into consideration, both the fourth prince and her sister would be scolded.
"What Madam is saying is that Miss Xie San is smart, gentle and considerate, and her words have never been inappropriate. Everyone knows that!"
Chen Shujun smiled and comforted.
But this comfort sounded very harsh to Xie Yunrou's ears. She had always used words to "hurt" people secretly, and this was the first time she had been hurt by someone.
"Madam, Yun Rou has been out for some time. Now that she knows that Master Rong Wu is safe and sound, she feels satisfied and goes back first!"
This place couldn't last any longer, so Xie Yunrou forced herself to keep a gentle face.
"Okay, be careful on the road!"
Gu Yunqing, who was completely unaware of the verbal exchange just now, responded with a smile.
"Madam, Shujun has fulfilled your wish today, so I won't disturb you anymore!"
Not long after Xie Yunrou went out, Chen Shujun also stood up and said goodbye.
"Miss Chen, walk slowly and let Taoye give you a gift!"
Gu Yunqing said politely.
The two of them saluted and walked outside the main courtyard. Seeing no one around, Chen Shujun looked worried: "How are you? Are the injuries on your body still hurting? When I helped you change clothes that night, the injuries all over your body were... I was shocked!"
"It's no problem anymore. Except for the injury on the arm, which still hurts a little, the other places have scabs. It won't hurt in three to five days!"
Taoye chuckled.
"Did Young Master Rong have any injuries in front of you..."
