Abbot, she sat in meditation in the meditation room all night last night, and our people couldn’t do anything.
The abbot’s already small eyes narrowed into a slit, hiding his calculations, “It doesn’t matter, she just came to the mountain yesterday, if she loses someone today, we won’t be able to explain.”
As he was talking, a monk came to report that there was a quarrel in the meditation courtyard.
The abbot hurriedly rushed over with the monks, hoping to encounter some opportunity.
Little master, you must investigate carefully, this is related to our innocence, you must not perfunctorily. Madam Liu opened her mouth seriously and suppressed her voice, as if saying something unsightly.
The abbot hung Buddhist beads in one hand and made a bow, Amitabha, has the benefactor encountered any trouble?
This… Abbot, last night the servants around us saw a man walking in the meditation courtyard, which scared us so much that we didn’t dare to sleep all night. Madam Liu said in a low voice, this matter is really not easy to publicize, after all, it is related to a woman’s innocence.
The abbot was shocked and said, How is this possible? The meditation courtyard is guarded by monks.
It’s true, I vaguely saw a man seem to be from… from… Liu Siyu pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Madam Liu pushed and shoved, What is it, tell me quickly, if there are really thieves, let the abbot take people to catch them, so as to avoid accidents.
Liu Siyu looked at Chu Jingyue, who had just walked out with a sword, and pursed her lips and lowered her head again.
Seeing this, Madam Liu looked uneasily at the old grand consort and the grand madam. At this moment, the movement was so loud that even Wenren Si came over.
I heard there are thieves? Wenren Si said in a deep voice, with a group of guards standing behind him.
Liu Siyu shook her head with red eyes, as if afraid, No, no, the servants must have seen it wrong.
This servant didn’t see it wrong. The maid next to her knelt on the ground and said directly, This servant did see a thin man walking out of the Princess’s meditation room last night, and the man was covered in sweat when he came out.
Presumptuous. Wenren Si’s face sank, and the guards behind him immediately separated all irrelevant monks.
The grand madam even said seriously, How many tongues do you have to dare to slander the Princess?
What this servant saw is true, if it is slander, this servant will not die well! The maid kowtowed while crying, wishing to dissect her heart to show her innocence.
Seeing this, the abbot’s eyes flashed with joy, and after a moment, his expression returned to normal, and he moved the Buddhist beads and said, Amitabha, the Buddhist temple is an important place, and swearing is not a child’s play.
His words reminded the old grand consort and the grand madam that this was a Buddhist temple, and the maid would definitely not joke about her own life.
They immediately looked at Chu Jingyue, and the grand madam even asked in a deep voice, What exactly is going on?
Chu Jingyue’s eyes revealed indifference, and she was about to speak when Wenren Si interrupted her coldly.
Last night, this prince was worried that the princess would not adapt to the meditation courtyard, so I came to see her twice in the middle of the night, there is no need to say more about this matter.
A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Siyu’s eyes, and she raised her head and said, Impossible, the person last night was clearly not——
Heh. Chu Jingyue’s sneering voice interrupted her words.
Liu Siyu realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed her words, The figure described by the maid does not seem to be very similar to the prince’s figure.
The moonlight is mottled, you saw it wrong. Wenren Si said firmly, Liu Siyu wanted to refute, his face suddenly became gloomy, What else do you want to say?
Wenren Si personally admitted that he came to see Chu Jingyue last night, if anyone insisted that it was not him, it would undoubtedly be slapping his face.
Liu Siyu figured out this point and quickly bowed to admit her mistake, Siyu didn’t mean that, she was just worried that the meditation courtyard was not safe.
Tonight, this prince will send guards to guard, if you feel uneasy, go back to the mansion. Wenren Si said strongly, and others naturally couldn’t say anything more.
The monks were sent away, and the grand madam was still unrelenting, We will talk about this matter behind closed doors, who did you see last night?
Mother, last night——
You shut up. The grand madam interrupted Wenren Si’s words with a reprimand, and even scolded, The Qi Prince’s mansion must not tolerate women in the backyard with moral flaws!
Chu Jingyue sat down casually and asked, The meditation courtyard where I live is far away from your side courtyard, why did Miss Liu’s servants appear there in the middle of the night, and why didn’t you mention it when you saw a man?
This servant, this servant was looking for the latrine and got lost. I didn’t mention it last night because I was afraid that the thief would kill someone to silence them. Is the princess so questioning this servant because she is guilty? The maid was eloquent and defended herself, but she took Chu Jingyue’s words.
Chu Jingyue hooked her lips and sneered, There was no moon or light last night, you said you saw him with sweat, then you must have been close to see clearly, so why didn’t he find you?
The maid knelt on the ground and said calmly, This servant was hiding in the dark.
When did you see someone in my room, and how long did you hide in the dark? You should be able to see clearly what the people inside are doing.
Chu Jingyue looked at the maid with a smile, the maid pursed her lips and said, About, it’s…
It was at the end of Shen time and the beginning of You time, when the sky was not dark and there was still light, I’m right? Chu Jingyue hooked her lips, the maid was a little flustered, why did she take the initiative to say it?
What is your intention to deliberately say it was late at night? Chu Jingyue looked at the grand madam and said, Deliberate framing, do I need to explain?
Liu Siyu reacted extremely quickly and said softly, Green Tao said it was at night, then it must have been at night, but she just didn’t remember the time.
But after You time last night, the prince left two guards to take turns guarding near the meditation room where I live.
After Chu Jingyue finished speaking, she picked up the teapot and poured tea for herself, looking like she would not say anything else.
The grand madam also understood, if there was really an outsider last night, Si’er’s guards would not sit idly by, and would not tolerate her meeting a man privately because Chu Jingyue was the prince’s benefactor.
How dare you slander the princess, drag her down and execute her! The grand madam was furious, she couldn’t tolerate a trace of sand in her eyes when it came to the reputation of the Qi Prince’s mansion.
Seeing this, Liu Siyu quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, Please listen to Siyu’s explanation, grand madam, Green Tao did not see a man in the middle of the night last night, it was actually me who saw it, outside the princess’s meditation room, a man dressed as a servant came out of the princess’s room, and he wiped his sweat at the time.
Because I was afraid that saying this would affect my reputation, I asked Green Tao to say that she saw it, but she just remembered the time wrong, this matter is true.
The grand madam looked at Chu Jingyue again when she heard this, she flashed impatience in her eyes, got up and didn’t plan to talk nonsense anymore, what’s wrong with bringing a servant?
Wenren Si immediately saw through her intention, he had to maintain the face of the Qi Prince’s mansion, and interrupted, Mother, that servant last night was me, I had a quarrel with the princess before the trip, and the son knew he was wrong.
He almost squeezed these words out of his teeth, obviously Chu Jingyue was unreasonable yesterday, but now he had to say it was his fault in order to protect her.
Chu Jingyue was really hateful.
This prince didn’t want people to know that I came to apologize to her, so I dressed up as a servant.
Miss Liu insisted that the princess met with a man, what is her intention?
