Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

Chu Yuanshuang was feeling confused at the moment, and when she heard the old lady's question suddenly, her mind went blank and she was stunned for a moment.

Seeing the old lady's gloomy expression, she quickly replied, "Grandma, the three of us sisters were eating snacks in the pavilion just now. The clothes of the eldest and second sisters were accidentally stained by the spilled tea. The second sister said she went to change clothes. But she has been gone for some time. How about sending someone to look for her in the backyard wing room?"

"Well, Madam Liu, please go and take a look. Most people in the courtyard have left now. Go faster." The old lady urged anxiously.

Nanny Liu had just taken two steps when she saw Chu Xiaozhu and two maids walking slowly towards them not far away.

Chu Xiaozhu endured the pain and walked towards the old lady. When he got to her, he took her arm and said apologetically, "Grandma, I'm late. It's my fault for making you worry."

The old lady's heart finally settled down. She reached out and poked Chu Xiaozhu's forehead, and said angrily, "You, why did you spill the tea and wet your clothes? I remember you didn't bring any spare clothes. Where did you get these clothes?"

"Yes...my elder sister accidentally spilled the tea. The clothes were lent to me by the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, who is on good terms with me. Otherwise, I would have been laughed at today."

When the old lady heard that her skirt was soiled by Chu Qianyu, she snorted coldly and said, "Humph! She is such a worry even when she is out here. She suddenly felt unwell and went back directly, and she even soiled your clothes. Wait until I get back to teach her a lesson."

"Ah? Why are you feeling unwell, elder sister?" Chu Xiaozhu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She actually went back, and as expected, she let her escape. She quickly pretended to be concerned.

"Don't worry about her. Who knows what she will do next. Let's go." After saying this, the old lady walked forward.

The group left Yuquan Villa, got on the carriage and rushed back to the mansion.

I don't know who leaked the news.

As soon as the old lady's carriage entered the city, she could faintly hear the discussions of the people outside.

"Hey! Did you know that today is the day the Princess is hosting the Spring Banquet?"

"I know, what's wrong?"

"You haven't heard about it yet. It was said that the eldest daughter of the Chu family seemed to have had an affair with Prince Yu at the banquet. The eldest princess was very angry. The banquet was disbanded before it was even finished."

"What? The eldest daughter of General Chu? No way. Rumor has it that the young lady is a crybaby and has no courage. How could she do such a thing? I don't believe it."

"Hey~ You're wrong. Some people may look timid, but who knows what they might do."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaozhu opened the curtain and shouted outside: "What nonsense are you talking about! Who told you that my elder sister did this? You saw it! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouths apart!"

"Hmph!" After saying this, he lowered the curtain, his face slightly flushed, and it was obvious that he was very angry.

"Why are you mad at them?"

"Grandma, how can they say such nonsense and ruin my elder sister's reputation? If that's the case, how will my elder sister get married in the future? I'm speaking up for my elder sister." Chu Xiaozhu felt a little aggrieved.

After watching Chu Xiaozhu and his companions' carriage go away, those people started talking again.

One of them took a few peeks inside when Chu Xiaozhu opened the curtain, and then looked at them with a sly look and said, "I just noticed that the eldest lady didn't seem to be in the carriage. Do you think she made a mistake and was detained by the princess?"

Another person waved his hand and said, "How is that possible? Why would the princess detain someone? At most, she would send the person back immediately after discovering the matter. Besides, don't you see there is another carriage behind us? Maybe he is in the one behind."

"How is that possible? The second young lady can sit in the front carriage, so how can the eldest young lady sit in the back? I think this is probably true."

"It's also possible that the eldest lady is not as favored as the second lady. That's why she set her sights on Prince Yu."

As soon as the old lady and her entourage returned to the mansion, they immediately asked Madam Liu to go and call Chu Qianyu.

Chu Xiaozhu had known for a long time that she was definitely being plotted against by someone, and that person was most likely Chu Qianyu. But she would not be able to do such a thing with her usual temperament. But then she thought about the two maids beside her who knew some martial arts.

Maybe they arrived in time and rescued the person.

Thinking of this, he looked at Chu Yuanshuang beside him and frowned slightly. It seems that he will have to ask her what happened later.

When they arrived at Cuihuaju, the old lady just arrived at the front hall and saw Chu Qianyu standing at the door with a pale face supported by Shaoying. Shuangning came back with the old lady, so she quickly stepped forward and supported Chu Qianyu together with Shaoying.

Seeing the old lady coming, Chu Qianyu slowly took two steps forward and said, "Grandma."

Seeing that she was about to collapse, the old lady finally believed that she was really feeling unwell. So she was no longer as angry as she was at the beginning, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"My grandson was murdered. If it weren't for the maidservant who knows some martial arts, my grandson's innocence would be in jeopardy." Chu Qianyu took a deep breath after saying this, and stood up straight, saying to Shao Ying beside him, "Tell me about it."

"Go in and sit down first," said the old lady.

Then, several people sat down in the hall together.

Shao Ying knelt down and said, "Please, old lady, make a decision for my young lady! My young lady is in this state because she drank the tea handed to her by the second young lady. If I had gone a step later, my young lady would have been ruined by Prince Yu!"

"What are you talking about!" Chu Xiaozhu stood up and pointed at her and shouted when she heard this.

"During the entire banquet, I only drank the tea that my second sister handed to me. It happened that I had taken the doctor from Yue Xin Tang as my teacher a few days ago and I knew some medical skills. I was able to suppress the poison and wait for my grandmother to come back. Otherwise, I would have lost my mind by now."

"Second sister, dare you say that you didn't wet my skirt on purpose after you gave me tea? And you sent me to the men's resting room? Besides, third sister saw everything clearly at that time. Why don't you let third sister tell us?"

Chu Yuanshuang suddenly heard her name, her heart suddenly tightened, she looked up at Chu Xiaozhu, only to see her staring at her viciously. She was so scared that she quickly lowered her head.

The old lady looked at Chu Yuanshuang and said, "Yuanshuang, tell me. What did you see at that time?"

"Grandmother, Yuanshuang has always been timid and afraid of causing trouble, so she certainly wouldn't dare to tell the truth. The maid beside her at the time also saw it. Why don't you let the servants separate the two of them and ask them separately to find out whether what your grandson said is true." Chu Qianyu said.

Without waiting for the old lady to speak, Chu Xiaozhu immediately stopped her and said, "Grandma, my eldest sister is deliberately trying to cause discord between us three sisters. I was just trying my best to protect my eldest sister. I never thought that she would treat me like this." After saying that, she picked up the handkerchief and wiped away the non-existent tears.

The old lady pondered for a moment and said, "If you didn't do anything, just follow what your elder sister said. I'm sure she can clear your name. Sit down first. Don't yell at every turn. How can you enter the palace in the future if you do that?"

Then he said to the servant, "Take the maidservant next to the Third Miss away first, and bring her in later to reply."
