Chapter 34: Causing Trouble at the Door

  "It's Chu Yu Yan!" Qing Luan said, her expression somewhat impatient. "Get out and take a look."

  Chu Sunyang and Lei Ce Fei and others had never set foot in her courtyard before.

  Qing Luan quickly walked out of the house, and Chu Youyang turned his head to glance at Qing Teng who was silently following beside him.

  As expected——

  This girl must have known the inside story all along.

  As for Qingteng's peculiar hobby of seeking chaos wherever she goes, Chu Youyang was helpless and immediately gave her a cold glance, saying: "Speak, what's going on!"

  "Tomorrow is the Queen's birthday banquet, and those people are all eagerly waiting for the Crown Prince to give Le Ce Fei a step down. Unfortunately, the Crown Prince has not given in. This is... " Qingteng smiled slyly, without feeling any guilt at all, "At dinner time, Chu Yuexian knelt outside the Crown Prince's study, but he didn't respond."

  The banquet in the palace is a grand occasion, and in previous years, it was always Le Ce Fei who took the lead, accompanied by Chu Zhenyang and her sisters. However, women like Madame were not qualified to attend.

  It's been almost a month since Leixi Fei was locked up, and it's not easy for Chuxueyan to hold on until today. She has probably been waiting for this opportunity all along.

  Never thought it would be like this

  Chu Yi'an didn't play his cards according to common sense.

  "Let me redo your hair." Chu Nanyang had no choice but to re-dress and go out again.

  At that time, Chu Yu Yan was already jumping and scolding outside the gate: "Chu Xiang Yang, come out for me. Everyone has arrived here, what are you still pretending to be?"

  While talking, he still wanted to force his way in, but unfortunately, there was Qing Luan blocking the door, and she wouldn't let him take advantage of even a slight opportunity.

  Chu Qi Hui scolded her a couple of times in vain, so she simply stood aside with a dark face and let things take their course.

  "Qing Luan, what's going on here?" Chu Jiu Yang walked over with a gentle pace.

  The green snake didn't make a sound, it just swiftly retreated to the side.

  Chu Youyang stood at the gate, bowed to Chu Qihui and smiled, "It's late at night, big brother and fifth sister come together to find me? Is there something urgent?"

  They were directly tied together with Chu Qi Hui and Chu Yue Yan.

  It's not that she's being petty, but if Chu Qi Hui wanted to stop Chu Yue Yan, he could have just had someone drag her away. How could he let her make a scene here?

  Chu Qi Hui's face changed slightly, just about to speak, Chu Yue Yan had already rushed forward a step, pointing at Chu Fen Yang: "You! Go and tell Father right now that everything before was your fault, let Father show mercy and release my mother."

  With a wave of his hand and a nod, he looked like it was only natural.

  "What for?" Chu Youyang retorted back, her voice cold as she laughed out loud.

  Chu Yu Yan's eyes widened, and she stuttered, "If it weren't for you, how would Mother be punished? You still have the nerve to speak cold words? I'm telling you, go ask Father to release Mother immediately, otherwise, I won't let you off!"

  "Oh? You're not done with me yet? But I don't know what kind of 'not done' you're planning?" Chu Nanyang let out a cold snort, and turned to look at Chu Qihui, "What do you mean, big brother? Coming over in the middle of the night today, is it also for this matter?"

  Lei Ce Fei was confined and also stripped of her management rights in the inner court. Although Yao Shi was a smooth talker who knew how to get along with people and wouldn't mistreat any of the palace maids, how could she be compared to when her own mother held power?

  Chu Qi Hui came over, also for this matter wanted to let Chu Yu Yang relax and go to Chu Yi An's place to ask for a favor, but didn't expect to be interrupted by Chu Yue Yan, directly tearing their faces apart.

  "Xunyang!" Taking a deep breath, Chu Qi Hui also couldn't let Lei Ce Fei go unchecked, and softened her tone to say, "We're all family, I've investigated, that matter was actually spread by the third madam's rumors. Mother can't control everything, but she has been taught a lesson this time. It's said that family shame shouldn't be exposed outside, tomorrow at the imperial grandmother's birthday banquet, if mother doesn't attend, it will inevitably lead to outsiders speculating and gossiping. This matter was also caused by you, and it will affect your reputation, you..."

  Chu Youyang didn't say a word, but just looked at him with a faint smile that wasn't quite a smile.

  Her attitude had always been good, but after listening to Chu Qi Hui's words, the expression in her eyes had changed to undisguised mockery.

  Chu Qi Hui had never seen her like this before and didn't know why but he felt a pang of unease in his heart, furrowing his brow repeatedly.

  "Your Highness, Crown Prince!" Qingteng stepped forward and bowed his knees to Chu Qiying, saying, "I dare not speak out of turn, but the Crown Prince has always been fair in his dealings. Would you truly think that His Highness would unjustly vent his anger on Concubine Ce?"

  Chu Qi Hui furrowed her brow: "What does this mean?"

  "The news was indeed spread from the Third Madam's courtyard, but it was someone who deliberately indulged and used the unsuspecting Third Madam as a gun." Qingteng said.

  Some words were difficult for Zhen Yang to say directly, but she was fearless.

  This was something Qu Qi Hui hadn't expected, and her face suddenly fell.

  Chu Yu Yan had already stepped forward and shouted, "You this lowly maid, how dare you! You're actually slandering my imperial mother, are you looking to die?!"

  As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped Qingteng's face.

  Qing Lian took a step forward and grasped her wrist.

  Although it won't completely destroy Chu Yuexian on the spot, it will definitely take the opportunity to teach her a lesson.

  "Ah——" Chu Yu Yan let out a pained cry, her facial expression also twisting in an instant.

  Her maid wanted to step forward, but was stunned by Chu Youyang's gaze.

  Then Chu Youyang stepped down from the steps and walked to Chu Qiuhui's face, saying, "Big brother, do you still think I should go to Father's place to plead for Ce Fei Niangniang?"

  Lei Ce Fei's heart is not good, letting people spread rumors to ruin her reputation. She didn't even kick someone when they were down, and that's already quite noble of her. Who would expect her to repay kindness for hatred? When will she have such a kind heart?

  She has always been vengeful and never lets things go.

  Chu Qi Hui's face turned iron-green, and she had nothing to say, so she flung her sleeve and left.

  Qing Luan also withdrew his hand and flung Chu Yuanyan out.

  "Chu Nanyang, you actually allowed your maid to lay hands on me? Do you believe I'll tell Father about this?" Chu Yuexian was still fuming and rubbed her sore wrist loudly.

  "You can go if you want to." Chu Nanyang's eyes sparkled with amusement as he gazed deeply at her, "Don't forget to tell your father about how you and Su Wei conspired together to harm me that day. The relationship between the concubine and the second madam isn't very good, she must be very lonely in the Buddhist hall, it's probably nice for her to have a daughter like you by her side."

  Chu Yu Yan's face turned pale and she took two steps back, saying "What about Su Wu? I don't know what you're talking about."

  She and Su Wei's matter, Chu Mo Yang definitely wouldn't know! Definitely won't!

  Chu Youyang smiled slightly and didn't bother arguing with her anymore, turning around and entering the courtyard.

  Bei Chu Yue was making a fuss, but Chu Mo Yang didn't think much of it. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "By the way, what's the progress on the matter with Dian Cui?"

  The two maidservants exchanged a glance, and even the normally serious one couldn't help but stifle a giggle, holding back her smile as she said: "Very good!"

  Digression

  Babies, I suddenly discovered a bug today. In several places before, I wrote "Nanhe Wangfu" as "Henan Wangfu". These days at home with my mother to celebrate the festival, didn't bring back the original manuscript to revise and count, so you guys see it don't be surprised, wait for two days when I go back I will correct it.

  PS: Chu Yuer is the rhythm of brain-dead sister's appearance, soon it will be a feast, you know...
