Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

After putting on her clothes, Xu Yan'er walked timidly in front of Xiao Yan'an.

"Prince, you must believe me! I didn't have an affair with anyone. I was framed! It was me who saw a suspicious thief and asked Ping'er to go find the prince."

Xiao Yan'an's expression relaxed a little; he believed Xu Yan'er.

However, he could not ignore the scene he had just seen when he entered the room.

"What happened?" he asked.

"After I asked Ping'er to find the prince, she was ambushed and lost consciousness. When she opened her eyes again, she...she...was almost bullied! Fortunately, the prince arrived in time!" Xu Yan'er suddenly threw herself into Xiao Yan'an's arms.

Xiao Yan'an raised his hand and patted her back gently. He had already believed what Xu Yan'er said and even began to feel distressed.

"Prince, Yan'er is so scared!" Xu Yan'er quickly acted coquettishly.

Xiao Yanan hugged her tighter again, "Don't be afraid, with me here, no one will dare to hurt you, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. Yan'er only has you to rely on."

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Prince, Madam asks if you can come out?" It was Uncle Hua's voice.

"Come out right away." Xiao Yan'an responded, holding Xu Yan'er's hand tightly, and the two walked out together.

Ji Chuhe watched the two of them walk out hand in hand and was not surprised at all.

"Sir, it is better to investigate immediately when something like this happens in the mansion."

"Investigate! Of course we must investigate!" Xiao Yan'an responded coldly.

Ji Chuhe turned and looked at Concubine Xu, "Madam Concubine, this place is closest to your Changning Palace. Can I go to your Changning Palace to handle this matter?"

"How can I sit back and watch something like this happen? Let's go back to Changning Palace!"

Concubine Xu walked in front.

The rest followed closely behind.

Back at Changning Palace, Concubine Xu sat in the main seat and swept across everyone with a sharp gaze.

Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yanan sat at the bottom.

Xu Yan'er knelt down with a plop.

"Madam, how can you accuse me of having an affair without asking any questions? How much can you not tolerate me?" Xu Yan'er did not try to defend herself, but instead blamed Ji Chuhe.

"They've taken off their clothes, what else could this be but an affair?" Ji Chuhe asked back.

Xu Yan'er's face flushed red, and she shouted loudly: "My Lady Concubine, Prince, Yan'er was framed by the bad guys! I beg you to make sure Yan'er takes charge."

Then, she cried and said, "Yan'er was bored in her room all day. She couldn't sleep at night and wanted to go out for a walk. She saw a suspicious figure, so she quickly asked Ping'er to inform the prince. Who knew that as soon as Ping'er left, Yan'er was attacked by someone!"

Ping'er immediately knelt down, "Madam Concubine, Master, everything the young lady said is true! If the young lady really had a secret meeting with someone, why would she let this servant go to find Master!"

Xiao Yan'an cast a sharp gaze at Zhao Kang who was kneeling beside him, "Why did you appear in the inner house of the palace?!"

"My Lord, someone really told me that Miss Xu wanted to see me, so I dared to come to the appointment!" Zhao Kang blurted out, hurriedly explaining.

"Who do you think you are? Why would Yan'er ask you to meet her?" Xiao Yan'an asked coldly.

"Prince, Yan'er really didn't ask him to meet her!" Xu Yan'er immediately denied it.

Zhao Kang turned around and glanced at Xu Yan'er, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Nanny Wang was extremely anxious, but she did not dare to interrupt and defend her son.

"Prince, in fact, Yan'er saw more than one suspicious figure, but she didn't tell the truth for the sake of Madam's reputation." Xu Yan'er's voice sounded again, looking in the direction of Ji Chuhe angrily.

Ji Chuhe sneered when he heard this.

Xu Yan'er was really desperate and started to make random comments!

Xiao Yanan glanced at Ji Chuhe and continued to ask: "Yan'er, what did you see?"

"Yan'er saw that the lady was having a secret meeting with a man." Xu Yan'er responded loudly.

"Yes, I saw it too." Ping'er immediately agreed.

"Ms. Xu, when did you see me? Can you be more specific?" Ji Chuhe was not at all panicked.

"After I saw you, I asked Ping'er to inform the prince. You must be afraid that the truth will be exposed, so you framed me instead!" Xu Yan'er replied stubbornly.

"Calculating the time, I should have been taking a walk at that time. When I heard the noise coming from Mo Garden, I immediately went to see Uncle Hua. Unless I have the ability to clone myself, how could I appear in two places in such a short time?" Ji Chuhe retorted.

"You said you were taking a walk, who can prove it?" Xu Yan'er said, turning her gaze in the direction of Dong Ling.

At this time, as long as Dong Ling said that she did not accompany Ji Chuhe out for a walk, she could draw the anger to Ji Chuhe!

"I can prove it." Dong Ling walked out and knelt in the middle.

"My Lord, today, Mianzhu and I accompanied Madam for a walk. Madam was tired from looking after the accounts and felt dizzy after walking a short distance. I helped Madam to the pavilion in the garden to rest. Then, we heard the noise in Mo Garden and Madam went to look for Uncle Hua."

Xu Yan'er was surprised.

Dong Ling, this bitch! She actually betrayed me!

No wonder Ji Chuhe was able to escape this disaster, but instead he tricked her!

"Young Master, the lady did come from the direction of the garden, and the servants can testify to that." Uncle Hua spoke slowly.

Xiao Yan'an was a little confused for a moment.

Although Ji Chuhe had the motive to frame Yan'er, it was unlikely that he would have a secret meeting with someone.

Ji Chuhe stood up, walked to Xu Yan'er, and straightened his clothes.

"Miss Xu, you must have a good look. I am wearing the Floating Light Brocade that my mother gave me. This kind of fabric can emit a soft glow as long as there is a little light. Even the moonlight can make it float and flow. The moonlight is bright tonight. Even if I stand in the dark, people will see me at a glance. How can I wear this kind of clothes to have a private meeting?"

Xu Yan'er was speechless, unable to find any words to refute for a moment.

"Look at Miss Xu again. She usually loves bright, light-colored clothes. Why is she wearing such dark clothes today? When we two stand together, who looks like she's going to a secret meeting?" Ji Chuhe asked another thought-provoking question.

Is that even a question?

The answer is obvious.

Xu Yan'er looked at Xiao Yan'an in panic, "Prince, Yan'er is so devoted to you, and you and the prince have already promised to spend the rest of your life together, why would you go to meet Zhao Kang in secret?"

Xiao Yan'an's breath sank slightly, and he suppressed his anger and asked loudly, "Zhao Kang, are you coveting Yan'er's beauty and are tempted by her?"

Zhao Kang did not answer, but lowered his head even more.

"Who spread the word that Yan'er asked you to meet her?" Xiao Yan'an asked again.

Zhao Kang still didn't speak.

It was too dark and he couldn't see clearly, but when he heard that Xu Yan'er wanted to see him, he was already flying with joy.

This wasn't the first time Xu Yan'er had asked him to meet secretly, so he naturally wouldn't be suspicious.

"Someone, take Zhao Kang away and torture him!" Xiao Yan'an gave the order immediately.

"Master, please spare my life!" Nanny Wang immediately knelt down. "Zhao Kang doesn't have the guts to do this. He must have been framed! Master, please let him live!"

Xu Yan'er's heart was beating like a drum.

He looked at Zhao Kang quietly, fearing that Zhao Kang would say something he shouldn't say at this time!
