Chapter 853: Grandma, Tell the Truth!

"Third sister, I want to say that you are wrong. I have never been a good person!" Shao Wanru said coldly.

"You..." Shao Caihuan's words were stuck in his throat. He looked at Shao Wanru blankly, his mouth slightly opened but he couldn't say a word.

Shouldn't it be like this? Shouldn't Shao Wanru go in with him after explaining it?

"Third sister, I'm actually not a good person, nor a stupid person, so... don't do some smart things to me... it's a waste of energy. Grandma will definitely push someone out this time. I don’t know if she is the third aunt, this matter has nothing to do with me!”

Shao Wanru raised the corners of her lips slightly, but her eyes were still cold. The faint smile was not as bright as her eyes, but made people feel a little mocking.

Shao Caihuan opened his mouth subconsciously, not knowing where to start, and could only watch Shao Wanru leave.

"Miss... what should we do? We..." the maid stammered.

"Let's go in!" Shao Caihuan gritted his teeth and used a handkerchief to wipe away the tears under his veil. His heart was furious, but he also felt guilty and frightened for no reason.

When did Shao Wanru become so scary? Why was it different from what he imagined? Wasn't the fifth sister always very kind to him? You have always been respectful to yourself, so why is it different from what you imagined?

The fifth sister shouldn't be like this. Could it be that she knows something? An idea suddenly appeared in her mind, causing her to stop after taking a few steps. She looked at Shao Wanru's back behind her in horror. After a while, Shao Wanru had already walked to the door of the moon cave in front. Then slowly disappeared from her sight.

His fingers couldn't help but tremble. When they were stiff just now, they didn't know they were cold. Now they felt as if they were shaking.

Shao Wanru felt the same as she felt. If...if it was true...she would never be nice to him, let alone speak for him so simply.

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured down on Shao Caihuan. Not only was his heart shaking, but his whole body was shaking. He was shaking uncontrollably and his face was as white as snow.

Was she... deceived?

"Caihuan?" A confused voice came from behind. Shao Caihuan turned around stiffly and saw Shao Jing looking at her with an unhappy face. He quickly lowered his body and saluted, "Second uncle!"

"Why are you here?" Shao Jing looked at his third niece and asked. It could be seen that he was in a bad mood and his brows were still furrowed tightly.

"I heard something happened here, and my mother asked me to come and take a look. She was not in good health, and she went to lie down for a while!" Shao Caihuan quickly calmed down and explained.

"Your grandmother is inside. Go back with your grandmother. You can't interfere in this matter!" Shao Jing said coldly. After speaking, he ignored Shao Caihuan and turned around to go to the side yard.

Shao Caihuan stood stiffly at the door. He stood for a while before walking in. Now he could only take one step at a time. He would go to see his grandmother first. Besides, not many people knew about it, so it was impossible to blame her. Come on...

The fight between the two princes was not concealed after all, and slowly spread to the guests outside. The guests who had not yet left immediately started talking about it.

Only the third master of Duke Xingguo's mansion was waiting outside to greet the guests now. None of the other masters could be seen, which made the guests outside more and more convinced that this was true.

Some people also went to Mr. Shao to talk about this matter, but Mr. Shao really didn't know anything. He waved his hands generously and said it was impossible. How could such a thing happen?

Seeing that he said it casually, everyone was dubious, but someone saw King Yue and King Zhou leaving at this time. There were bruises and swelling on the faces of the two princes, and their clothes were messy and torn. I knew they had done something before, and the two princes had cold faces throughout the whole process. Although they came out together, they didn't even look at each other.

There is a real problem here.

After the two princes left, others saw the belated arrival of Duke Xingguo and the eldest son who got married today. However, although the two men spoke softly, their expressions looked very stiff, and they knew something was going on at a glance.

Everyone wisely said goodbye and left one by one, leaving only a few close ones waiting for the dinner in the evening. After Shao Jing entrusted these close people to his third brother, he took Shao Huaan to Mrs. Tai's Spring Festival. Hall.

Madam Tai had been asked to check on the matters in the inner courtyard before. They went there to find out if Madam Tai had found anything. As for the new house, Shao Huaan also asked someone to tell the newly married lady that he was here. If you have something important to do, go see her later.

When the father and son came over, the wife was sitting in the room with a stern look on her face. Next to her, the third wife lowered her head slightly and did not dare to take a breath. She looked very nervous. She was not in good health to begin with. , now a bit whiter than before, almost as thin as paper.

Shao Caihuan stood behind her mother with her head lowered tightly, unable to see the expression on her face clearly.

"Mother, how is your investigation going? Does this matter have anything to do with our house?" Shao Jing asked eagerly after saluting the lady and sitting down aside.

Shao Huaan looked at the madam, whose face was as white as paper, and sat down on the other side of Shao Jing.

"It's all evil!" The madam slapped her hand heavily on the table.

The third lady beside her could no longer sit still, and knelt down with a plop, covering her face and crying, "Mom, it's all the wife's fault. My wife's health is not good, so she was a little looser in the past. Although she put it down this time, Some things were divided between the third lady and the fifth lady, but after all, they were a bit overwhelmed, so I took a short rest. I didn't expect that something like this would happen.

The chaos! "

"What a curse, what a curse!" The madam slapped the handguard of the chair loudly, angrily.

"Does mother mean that this matter really has something to do with our house?" Shao Jing looked at his sister-in-law who was kneeling on the ground, then looked at the madam and asked with a cold face.

Originally, even if this matter had nothing to do with his family, he would have been reprimanded by the emperor. If it was really related, the emperor might not know how to punish him. Shao Jing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his vest. He looked at the third lady who was kneeling on the ground. It also means more anger.

"This matter does have something to do with it!" Madam Tai said angrily, "It is said that someone gave me a pot of medicinal wine, which was given to several princes to drink. The medicinal properties are not very strong, and it is not actually a particularly powerful wine. , it contains tonic ingredients, so the steward of the mansion went to tell her about it, and she thought it was good, so she gave it away!"

"Did you send some medicinal wine to supplement the medicine?" Shao Jing's face changed drastically. He stared at the kneeling third lady in astonishment and said sternly, "What on earth is going on? Who wants to harm His Highness King Chen?"

Since it is medicinal wine, ordinary people just drink it. Even if the wine is more potent, it is okay, but this does not include King Chen. If this person drinks a little bit, I don’t know what will happen to his body. If he drinks it on the spot, He vomited blood, or his life was in danger, and the entire Xingguo Duke's mansion had to be buried with him.

Shao Jing was not stupid. He immediately thought of King Chen who came with him today, and King Chen was also the most likely person to come. When King Chen came to deliver the betrothal gift last time, it showed that he valued Shao Wanru, and Xingguo There was a happy event in the palace, and if it was to support the occasion, he would probably make such a trip.

"Second uncle, I didn't know that His Highness Prince Chen was here too. The manager asked if some of the princes were here and could they prepare some wine, medicinal wine as well, so I agreed and sent over the medicinal wine collected in the palace. I thought It’s not a big deal, and besides, the medicinal wine isn’t very strong, even I could drink it once in a while!”

The third lady fell to the ground crying and explained.

"You...you..." the Taifu pointed angrily at the third lady and said angrily, "Can you compare with His Highness King Chen? Just because your body can withstand it, doesn't mean His Highness King Chen can withstand it this time. Fortunately, His Highness King Chen is fine, otherwise...otherwise..." Thinking of the consequences, Mrs. Tai shivered all over and sweated heavily on her back.

The current situation is the best. Fortunately, His Highness Chen Wang is not good at drinking.

"Mom, uncle, I really didn't know it would be like this!" The third lady cried.

The lady was so angry that she couldn't speak. Shao Jing looked at the kneeling third lady with cold eyes and disgust. Shao Caihuan didn't even dare to move. She just felt that her whole body was numb. The current situation was exactly as she imagined. Different, how could it be like this, why would it be like this!

Shao Huaan coughed lowly and said: "Third Aunt, get up first. Since this matter has happened, there must be a charter! Someone, help Third Aunt up. Third Aunt's health is not good, so she can't It really hurts my knees!”

The mother-in-law looked at the face of the concubine, saw her nodding slightly, and hurriedly came over to help the third concubine up and sit down on a chair to the side.

"Grandma, we can't hide this for the sake of this plan!" Shao Hua'an said, looking at the dowager sitting in the first place.

"Then what should I do?" Madam Tai asked angrily. Even though she had experienced many strong winds and waves, she felt that the current situation had never been so dangerous before.

She didn't like the third wife's daughter-in-law in the first place, and now she doesn't like her even more. She really can't be on the stage, and she is not as reliable as her grandson's daughter-in-law. It seems that someone else needs to be in charge of things in the inner courtyard.

"Grandma, tell me the truth! The steward did what Third Aunt promised, and it should be easy to find out along the way. If we deal with these people, the emperor will be angry in the end, so we should just deal with them directly These people are gathered together in one place, waiting for the emperor’s people to come, and then send them there together, leaving the emperor to investigate!”

Shao Hua'an thought for a while and said, if we don't handle this matter right now, there is no better way to handle it.

After saying this, Mrs. Tai and Shao Jing nodded repeatedly. They looked at each other and felt that this was the best way to handle the matter. The emperor could not be allowed to doubt Duke Xingguo's mansion, so Duke Xingguo's mansion would not do anything at the moment. Just wait and see what happens next!

"Don't... you can't be like this. Grandma can't be like this!"
