Although Chu Ci was not in a position to say anything, she gave King Rui a look of gratitude. However, King Rui snorted coldly and raised his head without even looking at her.

Chu Ci was speechless for a moment.

When the waiter heard the scream, he subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound and saw Dujuan.

He hurriedly got up, pointed at Du Juan and started shouting, "It's her, it's her, it's her, it's her who bought it."

When the little maid heard that she was recognized, she collapsed to the ground. She didn't know what to do next.

Chu Xiao closed her eyes and clenched her hands into fists. When she opened them again, her face was filled with anger.

She walked straight up to the little maid and slapped her in the face. "You little bitch, how dare you do this behind my back? How can I face my sister like this?"

The little maid covered her face with her hands and looked at her master in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Miss!"

The Marquis's wife came out and slapped the other half of the little maid's face again, "Miss, what's that Miss? If you hadn't done this, Xiao'er wouldn't be in this situation now, not to mention being misunderstood by so many people."

"This lady, considering that your parents and family have served you for so long in the Marquis' Mansion, is willing to ask the Duke to grant you an intact body."

The little maid covered her face and sneered. She thought that the young lady would save her life because she had been with her since childhood. Unexpectedly, the first person to jump out and want her to die was her own master.

In fact, everyone present knew that the Marquis' wife was sacrificing the rook to save the king, but there was nothing they could do because there was no solid evidence.

"Well, now that we've found the culprit, let's leave it at that for now. As for this little maid, just drag her out and beat her to death."

As soon as the Duke finished speaking, the servant from the Duke's Mansion came up and wanted to take Dujuan away.

Chu Ci stepped forward and stood in front of her. "Duke, today is my wedding day. Although it's not going well, I don't want to add to the bad luck. Otherwise, why don't you just hand her over to me?"

The Duke glanced at her and then looked towards the Marquis' Mansion.

The Marquis's wife nodded continuously. They were still very willing to hand the person over to Chu Ci. After all, she could still control Chu Ci.

The Duke nodded and said, "Then let's do this. We can discuss the rest later."

After saying that, the Duke dragged Rong Ziyu away to see the guest off.

The house was deserted and the new house, which was originally full of people, suddenly became deserted. A cold wind blew, warming Chu Ci's cold heart a little.

Chunhua walked up to Chuci and pointed at the little maid who was still kneeling on the ground, "Master, what should we do with this little maid?"

Chu Ci glanced at Du Juan and thought for a moment, "Lock him up in the woodshed first, and find someone to take him out as soon as it's light in the morning."

"Remember, tell them to be alert tonight."

Seeing that her master had a serious expression, Chunhua knew that the matter was serious, so she went out to find two servants they had brought from the Chu family and took the man away.

Chunhua walked to Chu Ci's side, glanced at her master, and finally chose not to speak.

Seeing Chunhua's expression, Chu Ci knew that she had something to say, so she spoke, "Just say it to me if you have something to say. Isn't it uncomfortable to hold it in?"

Chunhua is the only maid who has followed her since childhood. The rest of the maids who are loyal to her have come to her one after another after various things happened. Maybe she should look for them, after all, the time is almost up.

But in their previous life, they were all killed by the Chu family and the Duke's Mansion for various reasons, and not a single one was left.

She watched them die one by one in front of her, collapse again and again, and finally herself.

Chunhua looked at Chu Ci and took a deep breath, but tears still fell. "Master, the master and the mistress, the second little sister, are too much. How can you say that you are the legitimate daughter of the Chu family, and they treat you like this?"

"And my uncle is such a piece of shit."

Chu Ci patted her shoulder. Thinking about what happened today, she was so sad that she was speechless. Even if a lifetime had passed, she would still feel sad if she experienced such a thing again.

She walked to the window and looked out at the chirping birds flying freely, and the mother bird feeding in the nest.

As she thought back to all the experiences of the day, she felt so sad that she could hardly breathe.

Seeing that her master was thinking about something, Chunhua retreated quietly.

Chunhua went down for a short while, and when she reappeared, she had a bowl of steaming noodles in her hand.

"Master, you haven't eaten all day. I'll go to the kitchen and make you a bowl of noodles."

Chu Ci turned around, looked at the bowl of noodles, sat down at the table silently and started eating. While eating, tears fell uncontrollably.

It was just this ordinary bowl of noodles that warmed her extremely cold heart at that moment.

On the other side, after Duke Rong and the Crown Prince reluctantly sent everyone away, they slapped Rong Ziyu in the yard.

It was this slap that frightened everyone. "You beast, are you willing to make the Duke's Mansion a laughing stock?"

Rong Ziyu covered his face and said, "Father, I was also harmed by someone."

Duke Rong stood aside, breathing heavily, and wanted to go up and slap him again. Seeing this, the Duke's wife hurried over to stop him, holding Duke Rong's arm with both hands and refusing to let go.

"Master, Yu'er didn't do it on purpose. He was framed by that little bitch Chu Xiao. Now is not the time to punish him. The question is what should we do next?"

Duke Rong looked at Rong Ziyu unwillingly, glared at him, turned around and strode towards his yard.

After returning to his own courtyard, Duke Rong sat down as soon as he entered the house, thinking about how to deal with the matter next.

The Duke's wife glared at her disappointing son and trotted after her master.

Rong Ziyu pinched his brows with a headache, thinking that what happened just now was like a dream, "It's all Chu Xiao's fault. That little bitch ruined my plan."

Seeing his father disappear, Rong Ziyu quickly chased after him.

Arriving at the courtyard of Duke Rong, Duke Rong had just sat down when his wife came over breathlessly, "Master, why are you leaving so quickly? You didn't even wait for me."

After saying this, the Duke's wife sat down on the chair next to her. Seeing this, the maid hurriedly served tea.

"Master, what should we do next? What should we do about the new house?"

Duke Rong glanced in the direction of the bridal chamber and said coldly, "Didn't you hear? She said she was willing to break off the engagement and let her sister marry into the Duke's Mansion."

The Duke's wife thought for a moment and said, "Master, this is not impossible. In this case..."

Before the Duke's wife could finish her words, she was interrupted by the Duke of Rong's angry shout, "Shut up, what do you know? Women, do you think I want the status of a legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion?"

"What I want is Chu Ci."
