Yu Nianchu glanced at the expressions on everyone's faces.
Yu Shuen and Li Xianglan wanted to eat her, and the hatred overflowed from their eyes.
Ayun and Fu Zhao, on the other hand, had worried faces.
Yu Nianchu's mist was flowing, he buried his head low, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
"Dad...do you want Chu'er to tell the truth?"
As soon as the words came out, she buried her head lower, like a frightened little quail.
Yu Chengguang had always known this little girl's character, so he raised his hand towards her.
"The ground is cold. Let's talk after we get up."
Ayun on the side immediately stepped forward and helped Yu Nianchu up.
There was no eye contact between the two, and Ayun was very scared.
She told Fu Zhao everything she knew, and Fu Zhao was willing to help conceal it, but Yu Shuen and Mrs. Hou returned to the house first.
They were the first to file a complaint, crying their hearts out in front of the Marquis, insisting that it was the second young lady who had harmed the eldest young lady.
And Yu Nianchu didn't know all this yet.
She put her hand on Ayun's hand for a moment, looked at Li Xianglan timidly, and then looked at Dingyuan Hou on the main seat.
"..."
Yu Chengguang saw his youngest daughter's concerns and immediately said, "Chu'er, don't be afraid. If you have a father, just tell the truth."
After getting the permission, Yu Nianchu weakly opened his mouth.
"Dad, my daughter drank some wine at the banquet today and suddenly felt unwell and her head felt dizzy. Then a strange maid appeared and said she would take her to the private room prepared by the Queen Mother to rest."
"My daughter didn't think much and went with her. She never thought that the maid would take her to a remote courtyard."
"My daughter vaguely felt that the Queen Mother would not entertain ladies from various families in a place like this, so she wanted to leave, but the maid and a eunuch who suddenly appeared held her down and threw her into a room."
"The house was dirty and scary. There was also a very strange fragrance. My daughter was already dizzy. As soon as she smelled the fragrance, she felt hot all over and felt very uncomfortable."
"My daughter wanted to go out, but no matter how hard she knocked, they didn't open the door. She even heard them say..."
"explain……"
She hesitated and looked again at Li Xianglan, who was kneeling on the ground and glaring at her fiercely.
"Say, Mrs. Hou also sent someone to send a letter to Master Fu Zhao. Master Fu Zhao will also come back later, and then..."
As she spoke, big tears fell down, which made Yu Chengguang feel distressed.
He stretched out his hand to his little daughter, "Come, come to daddy and tell me, Chu'er is not afraid, it's okay now, daddy will make the decision for you."
Yu Nianchu walked over obediently, sobbed and sat next to Yu Chengguang, choking for a while before continuing.
"My daughter was so frightened that she would lose her reputation and bring shame to her father, so she found a stool in the house, broke the window and escaped."
"My daughter kept running and running, and then she got lost in the Royal Garden. Her head was so dizzy that she collapsed in the snow."
"When I opened my eyes again, I was already in the room of a female official. It was Liu Siyi from the Shang Palace Bureau."
"She was the one who sent someone to take her daughter out of the palace."
Yu Chengguang's heart felt like being pierced by a knife. His youngest daughter had been tortured in the three years since he left, and now...
How could he not be angry! ! !
After he comforted Yu Nianchu, he turned to glare fiercely at the mother and daughter kneeling on the ground.
"Didn't you say that Shu'er was framed by Chu'er?!!"
"Now that the truth is out, you still dare to accuse Chu'er!!"
Before Li Xianglan spoke, Yu Shuen couldn't sit still.
She stood up and pointed at Yu Nianchu with tears in her eyes, losing all her ladylike appearance.
"Dad, you are partial!!! Do you believe her just by listening to what she says? What about me? I am your daughter too!!"
"If her maid Ayun hadn't led me to that place, would I have lost my virginity to King Chengan and become the laughing stock of the entire capital?!"
Hearing this, Ayun kept kowtowing on the ground and burst into tears.
"Sir, I'm aware of it. This slave indeed saw the young lady being dragged into the house by that eunuch, and then went to seek help from the eldest lady!"
"But the eldest lady ran very fast, with a smile on her face. It didn't look like she was going to save someone, but like... she was going to watch a joke."
"My servant couldn't keep up with the eldest lady. On the way, I met Master Fu who was hurrying over with a letter..."
"Master Fu said that someone invited him to the courtyard in the name of the young lady, and then... the young lady was dragged in."
"My servant was scared and anxious. She just wanted to ask Madam for help. Unexpectedly, she saw Madam and the Queen Mother going to that small hut with all their daughters."
"Madam...Madam has been begging for mercy in front of the Queen Mother, saying that she wants the Queen Mother to spare the second young lady."
"The more I think about it, the more something is wrong. How can the madam be so sure that it is the second young lady inside?"
As for the most important piece of evidence, the letter, Fu Zhao had already given it to Yu Chengguang.
The words on the letter were written in imitation of Chu'er's handwriting, but Chu'er injured his hand recently, how could he write such regular handwriting?
Yu Chengguang was not stupid. After thinking about it for a moment, he sorted everything out.
It seemed that Li Xianglan wanted to frame Chu'er and Fu Zhao, but unexpectedly, Shu'er suffered the consequences due to an unexpected combination of circumstances.
The only thing that couldn't be explained was why King Chengan was inside.
However, Yu Chengguang would not investigate this. Now that things have happened, King Chengan also said that he would marry Shuer as his concubine.
That's it, that's all. From now on, the Hou Mansion will be more peaceful.
"Okay, I understand everything."
"Shu'er, I won't hold you accountable for your fault, just stay in the palace and wait for your marriage, like Prince Chengan's palace. This has always been your dream."
"As for Madam." His tone turned cold instantly and he ordered the housekeeper beside him.
"Madam has suddenly contracted a serious illness. From now on, she will stay in the house for good treatment. No one is allowed to let her out without my instructions."
"The stewardship rights should be given to Chu'er first."
Even so, Yu Shuen still felt that she had been greatly wronged. She smiled wantonly, her hair was messed up, and her eyes were like a jackal in the forest, staring at Yu Nianchu who was pretending to be wronged.
"Hahahaha, father! Marquis Dingyuan! I forgot to tell you."
"I have already asked the Queen Mother and the Prince to let this little bitch be my concubine and come with me to the Cheng'an Prince's Mansion!!!"
"In that case, you don't have to ask her to learn how to be a housekeeper. A concubine without a title is of no use~"
"Concubine???!!!"
When Yu Chengguang heard these two words, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He quickly walked to Yu Shuen's side and slapped her hard on the face.
Yu Shuen did not stop and immediately fell to the ground. Her face quickly became red and swollen after being slapped.
"Yes, this little bitch is only worthy of being a concubine. Even if I am just a concubine, she will be stepped on by me for the rest of her life!"
