"How could this happen?" Xue Jinhua pretended to be surprised and said, "Come on, let's go in and take a look!" She had a faint smile on her face, as if she was not surprised by what she saw.

Sakura looked at her young lady so calmly and couldn't help wondering: Why isn't she angry at all? Normally, she should be furious after learning about these things! But now, she seemed to be a little excited and happy.

While Yinghua was puzzled, they had already reached the door. Before she even entered the door, she heard the sharp and piercing voice of the clan aunt from inside the house, full of surprise. "Today I really opened my eyes. In broad daylight, I saw the Marquis and the Crown Prince's Consort hugging each other. It's so embarrassing. Who has ever seen such a ridiculous thing?" Her voice was sharp and piercing.

At this time, Wang on the side hurriedly explained: "His aunt, stop talking nonsense. The Crown Prince's wife is the Marquis's nephew's wife. How could she do such a ridiculous thing? You must have seen it wrong." As she spoke, she shook her head and waved her hands anxiously, trying to persuade everyone not to believe this rumor.

"Huh, am I talking nonsense? I'm not old enough to have blurry eyes. I clearly saw it. How can you not admit it?" The aunt from the clan was furious.

At this moment, a voice broke the tense atmosphere: "Aunt, I've been looking for you everywhere to have dinner with me, but I didn't expect you to be here talking to my mother. It really took me a long time to find you." Xue Jin smiled and greeted the old woman enthusiastically, as if nothing had happened.

However, Wang's heart was in her throat at this moment, and she was so nervous that she didn't know what to do. But the aunt from the clan quickly pulled Xue Jinhua and said, "Hey, niece, I came to ask your mother to go out for dinner. But who would have thought what I saw when I walked into the yard? I saw two people hugging each other."

She paused, then raised her voice and continued, "I took a closer look and it was absolutely ridiculous. The Marquis and the Crown Prince's Consort were hugging each other."

Hearing this, Wang's face turned pale and she said angrily, "Aunt, stop talking nonsense here. You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Do you know what you are talking about?"

"My eyes are not so blurry that I can't see clearly. I definitely won't be wrong." The aunt from the clan said firmly.

"Aunt, I was just drinking outside, how could it be me? Are you sure you saw me?" Compared to his usual coldness, Zhao Yuxuan's face was full of hostility at this moment, and his whole body exuded a chill that made people dare not approach him.

You can see that he is really angry.

"I have always been with the young master of the Zhang family. If you don't believe me, you can ask the young master Zhang."

In order to prevent outsiders from knowing this matter, he did not bring Young Master Zhang in at first.

Young Master Zhang didn't know what was going on, so he just followed the Marquis and said, "I was just talking to the Marquis."

"But... I really saw it... I'm not talking nonsense." The aunts in the clan all fell into self-doubt.

Zhao Yuxuan said with a straight face: "You are not talking nonsense? Then Aunt Yi means that Young Master Zhang is talking nonsense?

"Humph, I have been well-read since I was young, and I have learned etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. The teacher also taught us to be able to distinguish right from wrong. How could I lie about this matter? In addition to the Marquis, the Shangshu was also with me just now. If you don't believe us, you can ask the Shangshu. You should believe what the Shangshu says!

Young Master Zhang was so angry that he left when he saw that no one believed him.

My aunt has begun to doubt herself. She clearly... clearly saw it all.

"Nonsense, you are just being ridiculous."

At this time, the uncle from the clan also came. He heard about it and rushed over in a hurry.

He yelled at his aunt, "What nonsense are you talking about? Stop looking for trouble. Normally, you can't see things within three meters, so how can you see this clearly?

The aunt shut up instantly, feeling extremely aggrieved. At this time, Xue Jinhua said, "It seems to be a misunderstanding. Just explain it clearly."

At this time, Yinghua came in from outside and whispered something in Xue Jinhua's ear.

Xue Jinhua added, "The Crown Prince's Consort said she was not feeling well this morning, so my mother has already sent her back to Prince Zhuang's mansion. I'm afraid she has already arrived at the mansion by now."

Thinking about it this way, the person the aunt from the clan saw should not be the Crown Prince's Consort.

"Okay, there's nothing to do now. The banquet has already started outside. Let's go out to eat!" Xue Jinhua reminded again.

Wang also said, "Yes, yes, let's all go eat, the food will get cold soon."

Everyone was a discerning person, so they naturally didn't stay for long and left quickly.

Xue Jinhua was walking behind and saw that her aunt had not left yet. She was even muttering, "I saw it clearly, I wasn't mistaken...!"

"Auntie, let's go and have dinner."

She was unwilling to accept this. She knew she was not mistaken, but no one believed her. So she had to find evidence to prove that she was not talking nonsense.

After everyone left, Sakura slowly spoke, "Miss, the maid and the servant have already left the mansion. According to your instructions, I have arranged for someone to send them out of Kyoto."

Hearing this news, Xue Jinhua nodded slightly to show her satisfaction: "Well, you did a good job. When Auntie leaves later, you can go and see her off in person."

Sakura responded respectfully, "I understand, Miss."

Xue Jinhua looked towards the front yard with a hint of sarcasm on her lips.

Zhao Yuxuan really wanted to see Xue Qing'er, but he didn't know he was being plotted against. Later, no one knew what happened. What was even more surprising was that Xue's mother actually sent Xue Qing'er away.

Xue Jinhua did all this on purpose. She specially arranged for people to wear clothes similar to those of the Marquis and Xue Qing'er and walk around in the yard, with the purpose of letting the aunts in the clan see this scene.

She knew her aunt's character too well and knew that she would definitely spread the matter widely.

Although Zhao Yuxuan was successfully cleared of all charges this time, the seeds of suspicion had already been planted and were bound to take root and sprout. She couldn't help but wonder how long their secret could be kept secret.

When it was time to eat, my aunt was in a bad mood because of what she had just witnessed. She left the table in a hurry after eating only a few bites.

"Aunt is usually the most enthusiastic when eating, why did she leave after just two bites today?"

"What else can it be? It's just that the meal is not good!" Zhao Yuting said disdainfully at this time.

"Sister-in-law, you are too stingy. Usually, we go to big restaurants to order family banquets. Today's banquet is too bad."

Zhao Yuting didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. Instead, she felt that what she said made sense. She added, "Sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but look at the fish you caught today. It's not fresh at all. Did you do that on purpose?"

Xue Jinhua hasn't spoken yet.

Just at this moment, there was a burst of exclamations from the men's table next door.

"Yuxuan, this fish is rare! I heard that this fish grows in the southernmost coastal waters and tastes extremely delicious. Nowadays, all the dignitaries want to eat it! But you need to make a reservation a month in advance, and you may not be able to make a reservation!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yuting's face instantly became embarrassed. She didn't expect that the fish she just disliked was such a precious and rare ingredient.

"Yes, I've heard that too. This kind of fish is very difficult to keep alive. It needs to be watched the entire time during transportation. If it dies, it must be quickly preserved with ice. I remember the last time I went to a restaurant with my dad to eat this fish, the fish we ate obviously died on the way, and the taste was not as delicious as this one."
