Hua Laoyuan envoy saw the familiar green color on the plate from a distance, and immediately quickened his pace.
The joy in Zhou's eyes could no longer be suppressed, and she did not notice the panicked looks of Xia Yuqin and Xia Yulan in the crowd.
"This is... the sachet embroidered by my wife!"
The envoy of Huelaoyuan tremblingly picked up the bamboo leaf sachet on the plate. His eyes were slightly red when he found it, and he was excited. Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know what happened, so they heard Mr. Zhou pretending to be happy. .
"That's great. Madam Shizi has managed to get something back that Mr. Hua lost!"
She looked at Xia Yunxian's calm expression and sneered in her heart.
This girl is not even aware of it!
The noble wife committed the crime of theft and tried to deceive Mr. Hua like a fool. Her father, General Xia, mother, Wu Yuanshu, and her maternal grandfather's family would be completely disgraced by her!
"Mrs. Prince's kindness will be greatly rewarded by the envoy of this court!" When Mr. Hua said this, he was already gritting his teeth and his eyes were even more stern.
Doesn't she want a favor?
If you give her money to thank her, it will be settled, but the teaching hall will never dare to accept such a person!
"Sister Yulan, come here quickly, Mr. Hua is thanking you." Unexpectedly, Xia Yunxian pretended not to notice anything strange, and tried to pull Xia Yulan out from hiding in the corner.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou immediately smiled and said, "Mrs. Shizi has done good things, why are you still so humble and giving in?"
It's weird, she probably doesn't know the powerful connection, so why doesn't she just take the credit?
By the time she suffered, it was too late for her to regret and deny it!
Mr. Zhou likes to see other people's ups and downs, turning from joy to sorrow.
"So many pairs of eyes are looking at it. This sachet is worn by sister Yulan. Yunxian is just telling the truth." As soon as Xia Yunxian finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion all around.
"Yes, we all saw it. Miss Xia took it out of her sleeve before entering the examination hall."
"How come Mr. Hua's things are on Xia Yulan's body? No wonder I saw her sneaking around. She must have stolen them!"
"She actually used such despicable means to get the Imperial Ambassador to think highly of her! Do she really think of others as fools?"
The situation in front of her made Ms. Zhou stunned. She looked at her daughters questioningly, and then noticed that their faces were unusually pale, and they couldn't help but shake their heads at her.
"I, I don't know why the sachet is on me, it's obviously already..."
It has obviously been given to my cousin!
Xia Yulan had never seen such a scene before, and she finally shed tears as she was already worried about her conscience.
Hua Laoyuan frowned, his scrutinizing eyes lingered on Zhou and the two sisters, and finally said without being polite, "Madam, what play did you sing today?"
He had seen enough, being led around by the nose all the time, and his patience was exhausted. It was because he was tired of the intrigues in the palace that he resigned in advance and returned home!
Zhou was speechless for a moment. Things did not develop according to her arrangement, and the plans were destroyed one after another. She didn't understand why Xia Yunxian was so alert?
Did she know the origin of this sachet beforehand?
How can it be!
"Why did Madam Prince put the sachet on Yulan's body? Could it be that, as they said, you stole it and you wanted to frame your cousin?"
At this point, Ms. Zhou still wanted to try to struggle, but the two sisters had already hid behind her. Her mother had told her before that no matter what happened, she would just be beaten to death.
But in front of everyone, Zhou insisted on saying that Xia Yunxian framed her, which was a bit too arrogant and unreasonable.
Suddenly, the envoy of Hua Lao Yuan noticed something strange in the sachet in his hand. After opening it, everyone's eyes immediately changed!
A strange purple butterfly ornament fell out, and the doctors present took a deep breath, "This, isn't this the sacred butterfly of Xiliang?"
Xia Yuqin's eyes widened in disbelief, while Xia Yulan was so frightened that her legs collapsed and she fell to the ground.
The commander of Hua Lao Yuan's face was livid, and he didn't care about self-cultivation. He glared at Zhou angrily, "How can the important medical family allow you to be so presumptuous!"
He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave. The surroundings were already in chaos. The imperial doctors had never seen the envoy of the old hospital looking so furious. Soon someone called the guards and dragged Xia Yulan up.
"Interrogation! Interrogate her carefully! See if she is a spy sent by Xiliang!"
"No, it's not me, mother, sister, please help me——"
Looking at the girl who was dragged away, Xia Yuqin trembled all over. How could she dare to defend her? That feeling of sharpness came back again. When she looked up, she met Xia Yunxian's cold gaze.
This is my cousin's revenge, my sister has become her scapegoat!
She didn't dare to think about what kind of torture Yulan would suffer in prison!
But I can't blame her, I can only blame my sister for being too stupid to leave the sachet on her body for so long without noticing it!
"Master Hua, stay here and listen to my explanation. That child is really innocent!" But Zhou's way was immediately blocked. The imperial doctor came forward to persuade her, "Madam, if we continue to make trouble, I'm afraid even Miss Xia will be kicked out. Got it!"
The people watching the show did not dare to stay any longer, for fear of being implicated by the unlucky mother and daughter.
Zhou's lips trembled and she turned back to stare at Xia Yunxian with red eyes. The woman in front of her had a calm expression and a pityful tone, "Yulan is a good child."
But good boy, you have to pay the price for being an accomplice.
Besides, her mother and sister were standing by and watching, so it was not her turn as an outsider to worry about it.
"Xia Yunxian, you bastard!" Ms. Zhou was so desperate that she almost lost her mind. She raised her hand high, but Xia Yunxian held it firmly, and her wrist seemed to be crushed. It made people collapse. I took a few breaths of cool air.
"Second Aunt, if you want to go to war with your opponent, you have to understand the opponent's strength and choose the right battlefield."
"This is the palace, not your backyard. There are many people with mixed opinions. I have already lost one daughter. Do you want to lose another one?"
Xia Yunxian had a slight smile on his face. Seeing that Zhou was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he slowly let go of his hand, winning a complete victory and retreating.
"Sister Yunzen, what on earth is going on?"
Liang Qianqian followed Xia Yunxian with great admiration. Recalling the scene just now, it was as if she had met this gentle woman for the first time. How could one person have so many faces?
Sometimes he is open-minded, sometimes he is sharp, sometimes he is gentle, sometimes he is cruel.
Xia Yunxian just smiled mysteriously, and a carriage in front quickly attracted her attention.
"It's the young man who competed with me for a book last time."
The man she had seen before was waiting beside the carriage. Liang Qianqian raised her eyes and exclaimed, "Isn't that the wise king?!"
