Planning to marry the third master

The servants in Prince Yan's Mansion were all brought by Feng Zhuohua. As soon as he gave the order, the maids in charge of each table pulled out the girl who first spread the news, and they pulled out three girls at once.

Chao Yi did not embarrass these young ladies from official families, but invited them to the pavilion in the garden.

The three girls were all beautiful and were daughters of ministers. They were not convinced when they first came, but only calmed down when they heard that they were Prince Yan's aunt-in-law.

Perhaps he felt guilty, so he acted bossy when he saw Feng Zhuohua.

The first woman stood up and said, "Why are you asking us to do that? What does that have to do with me?"

Feng Zhuohua asked the woman who spoke, "Whose family are you from?"

"My name is Cao Yiye, and I am Lord Cao's youngest legitimate daughter."

Lord Cao, Prime Minister Cao, a first-rank official, Feng Zhuohua still knew what was going on and asked, "Are you the one making up rumors and causing trouble?"

Cao Yi said hurriedly: "You are slandering me. It is not a rumor. I only said it because everyone spread it."

Feng Zhuohua's eyes were sharp, as if rarely seen before, and he said in a cold voice: "Who are you? If you can't explain it, then you are making it up. I won't say much, you also know what will happen if you get a bad reputation in Bianjing!"

"How dare you? Even if you are the general's wife, so what? My father is Prime Minister Cao!"

Feng Zhuohua snorted coldly and said, "So what? Who your father is has nothing to do with me. Today's scene is under the responsibility of my General's Mansion. If anything goes wrong, I will bear the responsibility. If you destroy my place today, don't blame me for being rude!"

These words left Miss Cao speechless, and she was even a little frightened by the fierceness of the general's wife in front of her.

Feng Zhuohua said to the other two people in a deep voice: "I don't care who you are or who your father is. Today I just want to find the instigator. If anyone doesn't explain clearly, then it was the conspiracy of the three of you. Don't blame me for being rude in an occasion like today!"

Although Feng Zhuohua looked quiet, she was not without means. A few words broke the timid girl's heart. A girl timidly stepped forward and said, "It wasn't me. I was also dragged to watch the fun."

"Who?"

He pointed at Cao Yizhen and said, "She."

Another woman stood up and accused him, "You are too immoral. We are sisters. You are harming Sister Yi-chu by doing this."

"I, I, I just tell the truth." The timid girl began to cry softly.

Feng Zhuohua looked at the woman who was talking, narrowed her eyes, picked up the tea at hand and took a sip, then lowered her eyes and thought. She couldn't help but laugh in her heart. She felt that she was very capable and could actually see through a woman's intentions.

Then he put down his teacup, looked at Cao Yi and said, "You have been identified, what do you say?"

Cao Yizhen looked at the little sister she usually talked to with hatred.

Feng Zhuohua said: "If you don't explain, you are the mastermind. The party is not over yet, and you only have one chance."

Cao Yihuan was conflicted and looked at his good sister beside him. The woman looked at him for help. Cao Yihuan was in a dilemma.

"Zhao Er."

"exist."

"Go and tell them that it was Miss Cao who spread the rumor just now. Let people know about Miss Xu's grievances. Let the eldest daughter of the Cao family know the consequences of spreading rumors and ruining people's reputations."

"Yes."

"Also call Lord Cao here, and personally punish her daughter in front of everyone, so that today's incident can be put to rest."

"Yes."

"No."

Cao Yi was scared and knelt down to beg for mercy. If everyone knew about it, her father would probably beat her to death in front of everyone. She said, "I didn't do it."

"Who? I said you only have one chance. If you don't tell the truth, it means you are willing to bear the bad name. If you are truly righteous, I will help you."

The woman behind took the initiative to kneel down and said: "I did it, don't embarrass her, it's me, I did it all."

This person who took the initiative to admit it seemed like he was the one taking the blame. Feng Zhuohua looked down at him and said with a bit of amusement, "What's your name?"

"My name is Xu Minting, the daughter of Lord Xu."

Feng Zhuohua nodded and said, "If you are willing to admit it, then it is you. There is no point in pretending to be a sister in front of me."

The woman raised her eyes and stared at Feng Zhuohua with wide eyes, showing panic and fear. It was completely different from what she thought. Normally, she would definitely be praised for helping her sisters, but today it was the opposite. She hurriedly said, "Madam General, it wasn't me. It was, it was my maid. Yes, she was the one who said it first."

When something goes wrong, it is a common practice in big families to push maids to take the blame. Feng Zhuohua does not intend to indulge them and said, "Chao Er, go and invite Lord Xu, and then go find the Xu family's maids."

Xu Minting said: "Please forgive us, Madam General. We are young and ignorant."

Humph, they all look like they are in their prime years, but they are still young. Feng Zhuohua ignored them.

Not long after, Concubine De arrived first. Feng Zhuohua stood up, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Why are you here?"

De Fei said: "Why didn't you send someone to inform me if something happened?"

Feng Zhuohua said: "Notify Prince Yan."

As he spoke, Prince Yan himself strode over.

The people kneeling were trembling, they didn’t know that Concubine De was there too.

Shen Jilin and the three girls bowed and said, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort and His Royal Highness Prince Yan."

Defei and Prince Yan sat down and looked at the three people kneeling down, all with cold faces. Defei asked, "Have you figured out what's going on?"

Feng Zhuohua said: "Miss Cao, you may not know that you were almost used as a raft by someone. Let me tell you what happened."

Cao Yizhen didn't know that she was a raft. After hearing this, it seemed to be the case. After thinking about it carefully, she was surprised to find that she was one of them from the beginning. She said angrily: "Replying to Madam Defei, I was going to have a meal at the banquet, but Miss Xu told me that there was a good show to watch, so she dragged me away. I dragged Yuying to the backyard together, and then I saw Master Shen holding Xu Xinru."

Concubine De frowned, as cold as frost.

Gu Xingyan interrupted coldly, saying, "Let me be clear. Miss Xu was pushed for no reason and injured her foot. Master Shen was there to help her, not to hug her. If you are still not honest and want to ruin my reputation, don't blame me for being rude."

"Yes, I said the wrong thing. She was the one who said hug, and we thought she meant hug." She pointed at Xu Minting.

"Later, her maid said Xu Xinru and Master Shen were having a secret meeting. I couldn't stay in such a scene, so I went back."

Shen Jilin bowed and said, "My Lady, someone told me that my cousin was injured, so I went to check on her. She really had injured her foot, so I had to support her."

Xu Minting's face turned pale, feeling that the matter was getting more and more serious.

Feng Zhuohua asked, "So it was the Xu family's maid who did this?"

"Several people nodded."

"How can a maid do these things on her own initiative? Why would she do these things without the master's instruction?"

Xu Minting was trembling, obviously very scared.

De Fei looked at Xu Minting and said, "Why are you doing this? Is it possible that you have a grudge against Miss Xu?"

"I, I, I..." Xu Minting glanced at Gu Xingyan, unable to explain.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see the crux of the matter. Concubine De knew that Xu Xinru was being framed for no reason.

The course of events was already very clear. At this time, Shuangxi brought a maid over with him and said, "Sister, this maid was sneaking out of the house and was identified by Miss Xu. She told Prince Yan to look for her."

The matter was clear at this point. Someone had set up a trap using Prince Yan's name, and the girl was caught off guard and almost fell into the trap.

Concubine De slammed the table and said, "You guys have ruined such a good banquet."

"Someone, come here. Give me a good slap in the face!"

Defei's maid stepped forward and slapped the three kneeling women in the face without any one running away.

At this time, more and more people came, all of them were the elders of these people.

Each of them was slapped more than 20 times, it was a horrible sight. Their faces were red and swollen, and their mouths were bleeding.

The faces of the people watching were in pain, and Shuangxi couldn't help but protect his own face.

Finally, after several officials accused her of crimes, Concubine De stopped pursuing the matter and only punished Xu Minting and her maid on the spot.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble in Prince Yan's mansion must be extremely bold.

In the end, the matter did not get out of hand. At least many officials were unaware of the incident when they left. This was also because it was discovered in time and well controlled.

When leaving, everyone in Prince Yan's mansion was given a return gift for the sake of celebration.
