Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 685 Zhaohua Speaks

The already quiet and reserved girl became the focus of everyone's attention, and her expression clearly showed that she was even more nervous.

She glanced at her mother, Princess Yuening, then at Yaoguang, then at her maid, Biyu, before immediately lowering her head.

“Princess, you just saw and heard that the Prince Consort did not blame her at all. Now, please tell us what you saw so that everyone can know the truth and that it was not a maid who framed her.”

Moreover, she was a distinguished guest at the Prince's residence. Even if she damaged the Prince Consort's dam map, the Prince Consort would not hold her accountable, and the Prince and Princess would naturally not reprimand her.

"But if you, Princess, out of kindness, are afraid she will be reprimanded and don't tell the truth, and don't testify for me, I don't care if I suffer injustice or punishment, but it will implicate the Princess and the Prince Consort, making people say they haven't disciplined their servants properly. So, Princess, I beg you to tell everyone the truth." The maid, Biyu, looked at Princess Zhaohua, pleading with utmost sincerity.

Hong Xiaoduo noticed that after hearing what Biyu said, the prince consort looked at Biyu and frowned slightly, while Princess Yuening's face showed a look of doubt.

Hong Xiaoduo suddenly had a thought: before Princess Zhaohua spoke, she wanted to ask the prince consort and the princess whether they believed the maid Biyu or Yaoguang.

But then I think, what would be the point of asking that question?
Biyu was someone they had worked with for many years, so they naturally trusted her a great deal.

And what about Xiao Yaoguang? Even if she looks very similar to the princess, and even if she gets along well with the prince consort, she is still just a child who is meeting the two of them for the first time. How could they believe her and not the person who has served by their side for many years?

If she were to actually ask the question, and the prince consort and princess responded by believing the maid Biyu, even if the couple still spoke kindly and with pleasant expressions towards Yaoguang, it would mean they genuinely didn't blame her. In that case, Yaoguang would still feel uncomfortable.

After I conduct paternity tests for them and inform them of the results, Xiao Yaoguang might develop resentment because of this.

In fact, Hong Xiaoduo was also uncertain. Although Yaoguang was the youngest of the seven children, she was lively, sensible and smart. However, given the current situation, if the princess and the prince consort really believed the maid and Princess Zhaohua, would she develop any resentment towards them when they recognized her later?

First, Yuheng also experienced something similar, but fortunately, none of Prince Yi's family members were confused.

"Princess, I know you are kind-hearted, but if you don't tell the truth, I will be accused of framing you." The maid Biyu pleaded with a sob in her voice when Zhaohua still did not respond.

“Biyu, the princess is still young, introverted and timid. She has never experienced anything like this before. Why are you forcing her like this?” Yuening looked at Biyu, who was silent with her head down, but her small body was stiff and her two small hands on her knees were rubbing a handkerchief. She scolded her in a low voice with great heartache.

The scolded Biyu looked at the princess in disbelief, and seeing the princess's angry expression, she panicked even more: "This servant knows she was wrong, this servant was just worried..."

"Enough! Even I, the prince consort, don't pursue this matter. Why are you, a mere servant, making such a fuss? This is the residence of the princess's uncle, and there are no outsiders here at the moment. Who would say, as you claim, that the princess and I are not strict with our servants?"

Even if we did, the princess and I wouldn't hold a grudge against you. You've been working in the princess's residence for many years; you know our personalities well, don't you?

"If you want the princess to talk about what she saw, why don't the princess and I ask her directly? Why do you have to keep pressuring her with your words?" Yu Rui said with heartache as he looked at Zhao Hua's reaction.

Having just been scolded by the princess and then reprimanded by the prince consort, Biyu had never been subjected to such treatment before, and her face immediately turned pale.

At this moment, Zhao Hua suddenly stood up, her little face tense as she looked at her mother and father.

Seeing that Zhaohua was about to speak, Biyu's expression relaxed slightly.

“Mother, the dam map of Father was not destroyed by Yao Guang. When my daughter, Sister Yuheng, and Yao Guang left the room, we were curious because Yao Guang was writing all the time, so we wanted to see how well she wrote. At that time, apart from the few pieces of writing Yao Guang had written, the desk was not messy, and we did not see the damaged dam map.”

After leaving the room, none of the three of us went back inside. Only Biyu said she would go in to tidy up, and when she came out, she would say that her father's dam map had been damaged.

Father, I did not witness the destruction of your dam map, so I dare not speak presumptuously.

"But my daughter can testify that it wasn't Yaoguang who damaged it." Zhaohua finished speaking in one breath, glancing guiltily at Biyu kneeling on the ground before turning her face away. After hearing Princess Zhaohua's words, Biyu looked at her in surprise. How could this be? Clearly?

She wanted to tell Princess Zhaohua that she would regret doing this, but when she saw that Miss Hong looking at her with a half-smile, even though it was almost summer, Biyu felt a chill creeping up from the soles of her feet, icy and bone-chilling.

Princess Yuening had already walked to Zhaohua's side and was gently comforting her.

Hong Xiaoduo shifted her gaze from Biyu's face back to Princess Zhaohua's face. To be honest, she was quite surprised. Although she didn't know what Biyu had said to the girl beforehand, it was clear that the girl hadn't listened to Biyu.
Looking at Zhaohua, who is the same age as Yaoguang and has the same pure eyes, the difference between her and Yaoguang is that even if the two girls stand side by side without saying anything, Yaoguang is lively at first glance, while Zhaohua is as serene and beautiful as a little flower quietly blooming in early spring.

Regardless, he is a kind and honest good child.

"Miss Biyu, what exactly happened? Tell us the truth at once!" the prince consort Yu Rui shouted sternly.

The usually gentle and refined prince consort now had a gloomy face, like dark clouds looming over the city before a storm, and Princess Yuening's face was no better.

Both husband and wife were intelligent and wise. Based on Biyu's words to their daughter Zhaohua and Zhaohua's obvious internal struggle before she mustered the courage to respond, they knew that there was more to the story about the damage to the dam map today.

Although they were the emperor's daughter and son-in-law, they both disliked intrigue and social interactions. Therefore, after their marriage, the couple had a very good relationship. No matter where the prince consort went to build a dam, the princess would follow him without fear of fatigue.

I never expected that the person I trusted most would pull such a stunt, framing a young girl and even dragging my own daughter into it?
"Princess, Prince Consort, I have served you for many years. What reason do I have to frame and slander a young girl?" Biyu sobbed as she prostrated herself on the ground.

"Yes, I am also very curious. What reason would you have to frame a six-year-old child? Or perhaps, you are not trying to frame this child, but have actually been bribed to damage my dam plan?" Yu Rui's voice was also cold and devoid of warmth.

Building dikes is a great thing that benefits the country and its people, but it may offend some people as a result.

On a smaller scale, the construction of the dike may have occupied some people's farmland and houses, but the government has made corresponding compensation.

On a larger scale, when he built dikes wherever he went, he didn't just use his brain and draw up blueprints; he also supervised the entire construction process, including the labor and materials used.

He feared that someone might embezzle funds in this matter, and even if the dam was built, the hidden dangers caused by shoddy workmanship would inevitably lead to accidents sooner or later, and countless people would die.

Because he kept a close watch on things, he showed no mercy when faced with the temptations of money and beautiful women. He not only cut off some people's path to wealth, but he also reported several corrupt local officials, resulting in their imprisonment or beheading.

The dam project that Los Angeles is going to build this time is even larger, and there are many people who do not want it to be completed smoothly.

So, if someone were to attempt to destroy the dam map he had drawn, he wouldn't be surprised at all; similar things had happened before.

However, in the past, it was always outsiders who did it.

Instead of what he's seeing now, with people around him causing trouble, and what's most infuriating is that they're dragging two six-year-old children into it? How could he not be furious?
Hearing the prince consort's words, Biyu panicked even more: "Prince consort, no, it's not like that! How could I have betrayed the princess and you?"

Hearing the prince consort's words, Hong Xiaoduo, who was standing to the side, had already veered into what he thought was a conspiracy, and quickly said, "Prince consort, don't ask her anymore. I should know the gist of the matter as to why she accused my Yaoguang of damaging your dam plan..."

Cough cough cough, the temperature suddenly dropped, and then the succubus caught a bad cold!

I had no choice but to go out, and I didn't even know what to wear. I looked out the window but couldn't find the answer.

I found a down vest to wear, but I was afraid people would laugh at me if I went out. But when I got on the street on my electric scooter, oh my god, there were people wearing down jackets and people wearing short-sleeved t-shirts!
Today's update is done, uploaded and published. Time to take some cold medicine and go to sleep.

Goodnight everyone, sweet dreams.
