The legitimate daughter is reborn, her life is still with her

However, when he saw Li Yaxuan sitting calmly on the stool and nodding towards him almost invisibly, he felt more at ease and nodded in agreement.

After Zhou Jiahua got the old lady's consent, he couldn't wait to call out: "Hong'er, bring this person up quickly."

This made both Xia He and Dong Mei frown.

No wonder Zhou Jiahua only had one maid, Cui'er, by his side today. Hong'er immediately brought in a guard after hearing the order.

After the guard came in, he confessed that Zhou Jiaqing had indeed encountered the Fourth Prince and was ridiculed by everyone on the way home, so he offered to help him. Even Zhou Jiaqing's conversation with everyone was recited word for word without any modification, just like a storyteller. More convincing.

"So that's it," Zhou Jiaqing said thoughtfully, "That man is actually the fourth prince. I have seen him like this before."

Zhou Jiahua looked at Zhou Jiaqing with gloating, as if he had seen Zhou Jiaqing's reputation ruined.

"This is strange. Do I have to peek at him because I have helped him? Then I have helped too many people. Is it possible that I peek at them all? What nonsense." Zhou Jiaqing continued to ask.

The guard kneeling on the ground tried his best to frown and couldn't speak, as if there was something unspeakable.

"Second sister asks you something, answer it quickly." Zhou Jiahua shouted impatiently.

The guard paused for a moment, then continued in a pretentious manner: "I would venture to guess that the fourth prince was rescued by the second lady and a woman, and he couldn't live with his face, so he deliberately spread rumors about the second lady?"

"Nonsense, the Fourth Prince can arrange whatever he wants?" A high-pitched voice sounded, and two men walked in from outside.

The man who spoke had a majestic figure and a dignified appearance. He was none other than Zhou Jiaqing's father, Marquis of Jing'an, Zhou Haiming. Behind him was Zhou Jiaqing's second uncle, Zhou Haiyang.

Li Yaxuan exclaimed in her heart when she heard the guard say something different from yesterday.

Now that they heard what the eldest brother said again, their behavior was more like deliberately ignoring the second young lady's reputation. When she looked up, she saw the second master giving her a fierce look.

Zhou Jiaqing's eyes fell on Qin Xingyue who said nothing, "Cousin, that day I fell into the water, you were the only one by my side."

Qin Xingyue nodded. She was not afraid of Zhou Jiaqing's slander and frame-up because she did not push her into the water and there were witnesses who saw it.

The reason why Zhou Jiaqing fell into the water was because of Qin Xingyue's little tricks on the edge of the pond. He spread some mud on the edge of the pond and covered it with a thin layer of grass. When he ran in a hurry, he couldn't even care about his feet, let alone falling again. It has been raining, and this physical evidence is gone now.

"Did my cousin also want to take a peek at the fourth prince?" Unexpectedly, this was what Zhou Jiaqing asked.

"Of course not." Qin Xingyue could only say this to clear Zhou Jiashi's mind. Otherwise, the further we go, it will be implicated that Qin Xingyue encouraged Zhou Jiaqing to go out.

"How can we know in advance when the fourth prince will come to the Hou Mansion? My second sister and I were just admiring the scenery by the pond. Unexpectedly, the second sister accidentally fell into the water. It's all my fault that I didn't pay attention to the second sister. It happened that the fourth prince was at the Hou Mansion that day. It's just a mansion. Everyone has misunderstood the second sister, some nonsense."

Qin Xingyue didn't need to care at first, but who knew that when Zhou Jiaqing woke up from his sleep, he became smarter and became harder to fool.

"This is strange. When I went to the pond with my cousin, why did they just say that I was peeking at the fourth prince?" Zhou Jiaqing glanced at Li Yaxuan with a slightly thoughtful look.

Li Yaxuan saw Marquis Jing'an standing behind Zhou Jiaqing, looking at her after hearing the words, and involuntarily shrank back. Although her elder brother never felt sorry for her, she always felt guilty.

"Okay, just clarify the misunderstanding. This is just a coincidence. You juniors, please remember not to mention it again. If word spreads, people will accuse us of having close contacts with the fourth prince." Zhou Haiyang turned around and blocked his eldest brother's suspicion. With his eyes, he patiently taught several juniors.

Yes, there is no way that a prince needs to report to the prince's mansion whenever he does something?

Zhou Haiyang originally thought that tying Zhou Jiaqing and the fourth prince together would be a joke, but his eldest brother's casual remarks during the morning court made him understand the stakes.

Today's Holy Emperor hates the close contact between his ministers and the prince.

Hearing this, the old lady's expression also changed. When her second son said this, she was worried that these verbal disputes would bring trouble to the Hou family. Seeing the eldest son's somewhat annoyed look, she simply pushed someone out to come. It was a relief to the eldest son to end this farce.

"Aunt Gui, take the third girl down and close the ancestral hall to copy Buddhist scriptures for three days and let her reflect on it."

Before Zhou Jiahua could react, he was dragged out of the inner room by the rough nun. His face was full of fear. The ancestral hall was dark and damp, especially at night, and it was even more quiet and scary. She held the door of Ronghua Residence tightly. Looking at Li Yaxuan eagerly: "Mother, I don't want to kneel in the ancestral hall, mother..."

Li Yaxuan just wanted to plead, but she couldn't say anything when she saw her elder brother's face.

The eldest aunt of the second wife, Zhou Jiahua's biological mother, was also anxious. Seeing the look in the second master's eyes, she did not dare to say anything more and could only stand there anxiously.

"Second daughter-in-law, is this how you lead the family? You are being speculated on by a concubine." Although the old lady asked Li Yaxuan with an unhappy face, she was actually trying to excuse her.

Li Yaxuan took the opportunity to look at the old lady and said with shame: "Mom, my daughter-in-law didn't believe it at first, but the guard didn't explain clearly. My daughter-in-law was also worried about the second girl for a while, so she got the wrong idea. It's all my fault for being confused."

Li Yaxuan knew that it would be futile to pursue the guard's testimony at this moment, which was different from yesterday, and would involve herself asking the guard to slightly change a few statements in his testimony, so she had to accept it first. She was just worried that she would believe the slander.

"No matter how anxious you are when you see Qing'er falling into the water, you can't lose your sense of proportion and blindly listen to the words of your subordinates. You should stay in Lanxinyuan and reflect on it. Haiming and Haiyang will stay. You all should leave." The old lady said for Li Yaxuan After making up his excuse, he waved his hand tiredly.

"Yes, mother." Li Yaxuan whispered.

This banned Li Yaxuan.

Zhou Jiaqing and others exited the house. She didn't want to expose the old lady and Li Yaxuan's harmonious dialogue, because it wasn't time yet.

Ronghua was outside. She looked up at the sky. The sky after the rain was spotless. In her previous life, she had been infatuated with the fourth prince, saved her from the siege, and fell into the water for the fourth prince. Rumors flooded in the sky, destroying her step by step. As she approached the fourth prince, she made preparations early in this life to cut off the beginning of this evil fate!

Last night, Qiu Ju was asked to send a message to her father. A guard went to Lanxinyuan and asked her father to pretend to casually raise the stakes in front of his second uncle after the morning court. The second uncle now still relies on his father, and he did not stay with the Holy Master. However, if you don’t understand the Sacred Heart, you will be frightened by success.

In fact, it is not that serious. Could it be that the princes no longer have any communication with their ministers?

Zhou Jiaqing was interrupted by Xia He's slight cough. He turned around and found Zhou Jiayun walking towards him. He looked at her with curiosity and sincerity and said: "Second sister, what scenery in our Hou Mansion can make you so distracted?" , not even caring about his own body.”

Zhou Jiaqing said lukewarmly: "I just realized today that the fourth sister is so curious. The fourth sister is curious and wants to see the scenery. Why don't she just go to Yueqiu Pond to see it." After saying that, she left briskly.

Behind him, Qin Xingyue looked at Zhou Jiaqing's leaving figure, secretly lost in thought, and said to himself: "Overnight, it seems like I don't recognize you."
