After the whole family went crazy and criticized the movie "Read My Mind", the heroine

Liu Wenjin's words finally prompted Chen Tanyan to make up his mind.

"Let's go to the South Courtyard."

Although Xu Yunxun is still the queen, this is a family matter after all, and she cannot interfere forcibly.

Seeing that he was ultimately unable to stop Chen Tanyan, Xu Yunxun could only cast an apologetic look towards Ye Guyan.

Chen Shuyin also winked at Xu Yunxun: [Godmother, it's okay, just wait and see mother's performance. ]

"Performance?" Xu Yunxun was a little puzzled.

But she still listened to Chen Shuyin and followed her to the South Courtyard.

At this moment, a group of people came to the South Courtyard in a mighty manner.

The servants who were watching were so frightened by this scene that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Greetings to the prince, to the old concubine, to the first lady..."

"Where is the young master?"

The servant didn't dare to raise his head, and answered with cold sweat, "The young master is in the study right now, reading a military book. He will definitely be happy that the prince came to visit. I will go and tell him right away."

"No need, just wait outside and we'll go in by ourselves." After Chen Tanyan said this, he immediately took the lead and walked in first.

But at this moment, Liu Mei deliberately slowed down her pace, pressed the servant's shoulder and asked, "Is Chen Qiyu smoking Fushouchang cigarettes in there?"

The servant nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "It's a big amount."

Liu Meilu was delighted, then she took out a hairpin inlaid with a luminous pearl from her sleeve and handed it to the servant.

"Well done, this is a reward for you."

"Thank you, Second Madam." The servant immediately accepted the hairpin with a smile on his face and kowtowed to express his gratitude again.

Liu Mei nodded and came to the study.

And at the servant's instruction, she indeed saw that smoke was constantly coming out of the hidden small window on the other side of the study.

Just as Chen Tanyan was about to go forward to open the door, Ye Guyan blocked the door at the last moment, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master, Qi Yu has become a better person in order to perform in front of you. If you do this, won't it dampen his enthusiasm and make him feel disappointed again?"

Seeing Ye Guyan's performance, Liu Mei became even more certain.

Afterwards, Liu Mei also stepped forward and expressed her opinion: "Sister, this is wrong. Regardless of whether Qi Yu smoked Fu Shou Chang cigarettes or not, as his father, can't the prince go in and take a look?"

"Look at this big scene, does it look like a normal visit?" Ye Guyan argued without showing any weakness.

Liu Mei also argued, "If it was Ling'er who was suspected, I, as a mother, would never protect her like you do. Only by helping my child clear his name can I be a good mother."

Hearing Liu Mei say this, Chen Tanyan naturally agreed with her idea more at this moment.

Therefore, when facing Ye Guyan, he lost his temper and said with a gloomy face: "Get out of the way."

"Your Highness, no. I will obey you in everything except this." Ye Guyan spread out her hands and guarded them tightly.

At this time, Liu Wenjin seemed to see through Ye Guyan's purpose.

She walked up to Liu Mei and then reminded her, "We can't let Ye Guyan drag it on any longer. Otherwise, if Chen Qiyu inside gets the news and is ready, our plan will fail."

After hearing what Liu Wenjin said, Liu Mei also felt something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to pull Ye Guyan.

But she was no match for Ye Guyan. In a few moves, Ye Guyan used his force to throw her to the ground, and one of her teeth was knocked out.

"Sister, you...how could you do this?" Liu Mei cried.

Chen Tanyan was becoming increasingly impatient and wanted to force his way in.

But what no one expected was that at this moment, Ye Guyan suddenly pulled out a dagger and put it across her neck: "My lord, if you really want to go in, then step over my body."

Such a scene frightened everyone.

Even Xu Yunxun, who was watching the show nearby, rebuked him indignantly: "Prince, do you really want to force your wife and children like this? Even if you change your fate, will you feel at ease?"

Xu Yunxun's words were like a sharp thorn piercing Chen Tanyan's heart, causing him to instantly retreat: "If that's the case, then I won't go in."

"Not coming in?"

I've been planning for so long, just for this moment.

After hearing what Chen Tanyan said, Liu Mei almost went crazy.

She ignored the pain in her mouth and stood up again, facing Ye Guyan and said, "Sister, this fate concerns the future of the entire family, please don't be so willful, okay?"

Ye Guyan asked back: "From what you said, it seems that Qi Yu really smoked the Fushouchang cigarette and affected the fortune of the palace."

The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Liu Mei had no way back and said firmly on the spot: "Yes, I now think that Chen Qiyu is hiding in the room smoking Fushouchang cigarettes. What do you think?"

Ye Guyan didn't indulge her at all, and sneered, "What would you do if Qi Yu didn't take it?"

"The Master said earlier that I would be expelled from the family tree. If Chen Qiyu really didn't take it, then I am willing to bear the same punishment."

"Are you sure?" Ye Guyan frowned and looked at Liu Mei sharply.

Being stared at in such a manner, Liu Mei felt as if a thorn in her back was on fire for a moment.

But she still managed to hold on and responded with a strong voice: "Yes, I am sure."

Ye Guyan calmly cast his eyes towards the old concubine and Chen Tanyan: "Concubine, Prince, does Liu Mei's words count? Can you testify?"

"This..." Chen Tanyan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

The old concubine pretended to be a good person at this time: "We are all family, there is no need to hurt the harmony. After the door is opened, even if Qi Yu really smoked Fu Shou Chang cigarettes, we will take a gentle approach to deal with it."

Ye Guyan sneered secretly.

If it were in the past, she would have really believed the lies of these people and personally sent Chen Qiyu to his death.

But now, how could Ye Guyan, who had already seen through this family's true colors, let them fool him again?

She stood tall and straight, like a spear that stood firm in the storm, and said with a resounding voice, "I told you, if you want to go in, you can only fulfill Liu Mei's bet, otherwise, you can only wait for me outside the door."

Such a domineering sentence made Chen Shuyin's eyes turn into stars in an instant: [Mom, this is so cool. ]

But in Liu Mei's eyes, the more Ye Guyan reacted like this, the more it showed that this was the fact she wanted to cover up.

So, she did not hold back and walked directly in front of Chen Tanyan, saying firmly: "Your Majesty, let's follow the previous bet. If Chen Qiyu does not smoke Fushouchang cigarettes, I am willing to accept the punishment and be expelled from the mansion!"
