Chapter 240 Cross-examination

Luoyi City, in the Cai family mansion.

Cai Ziyan rubbed the letter paper in her hand into a ball, her face turned vicious. She wanted me to apologize to her?! Dreaming! She threw the letter paper out vigorously, and her anger was uneasy.

The servants who were serving her lowered their eyebrows and held their breath with their eyes down, not daring to act rashly.

She sat on the chair, not knowing what she was thinking, but after a while, she ordered: Shaoyao, go and pick it up for me.

yes.

Shaoyao bowed and answered, picking up the letter paper she had crumpled into and presenting it.

This is a letter written from our family. In the letter, Cai Ziyan's father, and the head of the Cai family, scolded her fiercely. She scolded her for offending Princess Xu Sun and ordered her to go to the palace to apologize immediately.

How can Cai Ziyan figure this out?

A little embroiderer who was originally looked down upon by her, in a blink of an eye became a princess who could not be offended. That Xu Sanchun looked charming and was born with a low life. How could she be a princess?

It must be! The emperor made a mistake.

In Cai Ziyan's heart, anyone could be a princess, but Xu Sanchun could not do it.

But she could throw away her father's letter, but she had to refuse to reply. She must also follow her father's orders.

Cai Ziyan knew very well that all her pride and glory came from the Cai family. She was covered with the blood of the Cai family, so she was born to enjoy honor that ordinary people could not imagine.

If the Cai family is gone, if she is abandoned by the Cai family, then she is nothing.

Therefore, no matter how depressed she was and how unwilling she was, she could not violate the interests of the Cai family.

She breathed out, slowly unfolded the letter paper in her hand, and asked Shaoyao to grind the ink to prepare to reply.

Girl, someone came from the palace. A maid walked to the door to report.

Inside the palace?

Cai Ziyan's hand holding the pen shook and a bean-sized ink dot fell on the paper. Could it be that the emperor sent someone to ask for the crime?

She took a deep breath and asked him to wait in the flower hall, and I'll go over immediately.

Shaoyao changed her dress to meet guests. Cai Ziyan sat in front of the dressing table, looked at Shaoyao's worried expression, and suddenly laughed, saying: What are you afraid of? Why am I also the eldest daughter of the Cai family, and even the emperor cannot just blame me.

Yes, although Emperor Songlie had cruel methods, he would not blame her for offending the princess. If the emperor was such a person who did not distinguish between right and wrong, the Da Shang would not have a stable country.

Those who do not know are not guilty. At that time, Xu Sanchun was not yet a princess, but was just one of the many talented ladies in the brocade mansion.

When he arrived at the flower hall, Miao Shao turned around in front of the window, looked at Cai Ziyan with a slight and sunny smile, and said: The Cai family is indeed a century-old family. Even the Clivia under the window can be raised so well. It is no surprise that your honor is.

What came from the palace was Miao Shao?

Cai Ziyan has long been well known for Miao Shao’s reputation, and has also met the celebrity in front of the emperor on various occasions. Unexpectedly, the first official meeting between the two was because of Xu Sanchun.

Moreover, the other party's words are obviously a pun, with other words.

Cai Ziyan walked a few steps, saw a half-hearted salute, and said with a smile: Manager Miao has been too rewarded! How can the little woman Pu Liu be good at talking about honor? The whole Da Shang Dynasty, when it comes to honor, is of course the late queen.

Seeing that she understood what she meant, Miao Shao's expression cleared a little and said: The Cai family's daughter is indeed a smart person!

The two of them took their seats, and Cai Ziyan ordered her servants to go to the best tea in the mansion and asked: I wonder if General Miao is here, but there is something wrong? The little woman is not talented and is willing to share her worries with General Miao.

Miao Shao tasted the tea and put down the cup and said: Miss Cai, I have no other intention to come this time. It’s just that the emperor wants to know what happened between you and Princess Xuri at Princess Duan’s summer banquet?

Here comes!

Cai Ziyan's heart tightened, and her hands holding the pastel teacup suddenly tightened, and her joints were blue and white.

If she can't answer this question well, she will be charged with disrespect for the royal family by turning her head. This crime can be either big or small, and may even implicate the Cai family.

She was secretly grateful in her heart.

Fortunately, my father's letter came in time. In the letter, he not only told her that she should go to the palace to apologize, but also told her how to deal with the matter.

Cai Ziyan held the quilt in her hand and smiled with a reserved and dignified smile. The general manager must know that when Princess Xu Ri was just an embroiderer, I had the same old relationship with her.

She first pointed out that she did not know the other party's identity. This is a fact, but she must emphasize again to avoid being blamed.

Seeing Miao Shao nodding, she continued: I am jealous of her. I am just a talented woman, but I can get into the eyes of the young master of the Hua family.

Speaking of this, she sighed slightly, looking lonely.

She went from being infatuated with Hua Muchen to being sad. This feeling was not pretending, but added credibility to her next words.

Now I know that she is a princess with royal blood, and I am blind. I must have seen her extraordinary things before she looked at her.

What happened later? Miao Shao asked.

I have only seen her twice in total. Cai Ziyan did not hide it and told her truthfully: Once, when I was in Dongwu Mansion, I had an unhappiness with her. The second time was at the summer banquet a few days ago. I heard that the jade pendant she wore was given by the young master of the Hua family, so I ordered someone to snatch it and throw it away.

Speaking of this, she stood up and bowed, saying: I was blinded by jealousy, and I didn’t know the identity of the princess, and I committed the crime of disrespect. I also hope that General Miao would tell Princess Xuri for me that the little woman was going to enter the palace to apologize.

Miao Shao waved his hand and said: Princess Xuri has just entered the palace, and Your Majesty does not want her to meet guests. You can post this to the palace first and talk about it in a while.

After hearing what he said, Cai Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the other party is not here to seek punishment, otherwise it would be impossible for him to let him go easily.

Next, Miao Shao asked carefully about the color and shape of the jade pendant, and the princess' reaction at that time, and asked back and forth several times.

Cai Ziyan vaguely felt that the emperor attached more importance to this jade pendant than to hold her accountable.

There is a large formation in Luoyi City. As long as the emperor is willing, he can know all the situation at that time. How could she dare to hide it? He honestly told all the causes and consequences, and even the news she heard from Liang Jiu was truthfully informed.

At Miao Shao's request, Cai Ziyan drew the jade pendant she had seen based on her memory.

With this piece of paper in his arms, Miao Shao came to the Duan Prince's Mansion. Cai Ziyan threw the jade pendant into the deep pool under the Water Curtain Cave. Xu Sanchun naturally could not salvage it.

However, what he represents is the emperor. If the emperor wants to see this jade pendant, he must see it. He couldn't help but be glad that it was a deep pool rather than a river.
