Chapter 394 Chu Qiyan (4)
"A servant girl came in early this morning to deliver breakfast, but I searched the entire yard and couldn't find the princess's person, and then I saw the window over there was open," Mother Hu explained on her behalf, panting with sighs one after another. , while pointing to an inconspicuous window at the back, "Later, the servant took people to look for it everywhere, and it wasn't until almost noon that I found it in an abandoned well in the backyard—"

As she spoke, she raised her sleeves and wiped her tears as if she was overly sad.

Mrs. Zheng's face was cold and serious, but she had no emotions. She just looked at Chu Xunyang and said, "The princess is insane. It's because our family's negligence didn't take good care of her. Now that something like this happened to us, Zheng The responsibility of the family is bound to—”

"It's her who can't think about it. What does this have to do with our Zheng family?" Before the old lady finished speaking, Zheng Wenkang next to him muttered with an unhappy expression.

Because of Lin's matter, he was extremely dissatisfied with Chu Yueyao, as if he lost all love overnight and became an enemy.

In fact, thinking about the troubles Chu Yueyao went to marry him back then, Chu Xunyang felt a little sympathy for Chu Yueyao.

This man, it's fine if he doesn't have a relationship, and he's cold-blooded!

Chu Xunyang bent his lips and didn't speak, just looked at him with a half-smile.

Mrs. Zheng's heart was immediately pushed back, she glared at him, and reprimanded: "She is your wife, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Zheng Wenkang shut up angrily.

Chu Qiyan walked over to check the window at the back, but didn't say anything.

Mrs. Zheng still sincerely confessed to Chu Xunyang: "Princess, our Zheng family did not take good care of the princess. Originally, the Duke of the country should bring Kang'er to the house today to make amends, but just rushed On the big day for you and the four princesses, I never thought about this girl—"

Mrs. Zheng glanced at Ju Xiang who was hiding behind the people as she spoke, her face looked kind, but her eyes were like knives.

Ju Xiang's heart trembled violently, she lowered her head even more, and said in a weak voice: "This slave is just—"

She was just thinking about her master and ran back to Donggong to report the letter. Strictly speaking, this is not a fault.

Chu Xunyang's gaze never shifted to her, but politely greeted Mrs. Zheng, "No one would have thought of such a thing. Mrs. Zheng doesn't have to blame herself too much. Since it was just an accident, it's just an accident. Maybe it’s because of my pity that my eldest sister’s life is not good.”

Chu Xunyang isn't going to pursue it?Zheng Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but——

The other party was so calm, but it made her feel a sigh of relief.

Chu Qiyan didn't seem to intend to intervene in this matter at first, but at this moment Chu Xunyang wanted to calm down, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, so he stood by the window and raised his hand to caress the nail holes on the window, Said: "This window was originally nailed to death, right? It's not easy to get the nails out."

As he spoke, he raised his foot and kicked the scattered boards and nails, "How did the princess open the window?"

He asked casually, as if it was casual.

Zheng Yan's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she suddenly raised her head to look at him.

Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Wenkang's expressions were not good either.

Chu Qiyan, on the other hand, glanced back and forth at everyone's reactions—

Fall out with the Zheng family for Chu Yueyao?Chu Xunyang would never do it, but the two families wanted to sell favors to cover up peace in front of him?
This is also impossible.

"Oh, when the servant girl came over, she saw a hammer on the ground. I don't know which servant took it away!" Mother Hu hurriedly said.

This is obviously an excuse.

The corners of Chu Xunyang's lips curled up in an arc, but he just looked at it with nothing to do with him.

Mrs. Zheng's eyes fell on Chu Qiyan's face, and she was slightly condensed.

Chu Qiyan nodded her head as if nothing had happened, and she still refused to let go when she spoke again, "Really? Didn't you say that the princess has been staying at home while recuperating? There are quite a lot of good things hidden in his hands!"

"Who knows what kind of madness she's going into again or where she got it from." Zheng Wenkang said impatiently.

Originally, he really thought that Chu Yueyao was out of his mind, but now he glanced casually and saw his sister Zheng Yan's face, but his heart shrank suddenly.

Although Zheng Yan tried her best to maintain her composure, the panic in her expression could not be completely concealed.

Since Zheng Wenkang was able to find out, Mrs. Zheng had noticed it a long time ago, but she just kept silent.

Chu Qiyan's eyes swept over everyone's faces, but she didn't pursue it any further, and just curled the corner of her lower lip to give up.

Chu Xunyang squinted at him, and said calmly to Mrs. Zheng: "The elder sister's funeral needs to be troubled by the family. I still have something to do, so I will take my leave first."

Everyone in the Zheng family had their own thoughts, and all of them looked unhappy, especially Mrs. Zheng, who directly ordered Zheng Wenkang in a cold voice: "You send the princess and Yan'er out!"

"Yes!" Zheng Wenkang agreed with a nod, and before turning around, he gave his sister Zheng Yan a worried look.

Chu Xunyang and Chu Qiyan walked out one after the other, and Juxiang was about to follow.

Chu Xunyang squinted at her sideways, but stopped her, "The Duke's mansion is busy arranging the elder sister's funeral, and it is the time when there is a shortage of manpower. You can stay and help. If you need anything, go back and talk to me in time." Gong said."

Ju Xiang didn't expect it, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly said in panic: "Princess, slave—"

Chu Xunyang didn't allow her to say much, and took the lead to step out of the door.

Ju Xiang wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Madam Hu calmly.

When Zheng Wenkang took Chu Xunyang and the two out of the yard, Mrs. Zheng immediately shouted in a cold voice: "You evildoer, don't kneel down for me!"

Ju Xiang fell to the ground almost instinctively, trembling with sweat all over her face.

Zheng Yan didn't realize that the target of Mrs. Zheng's anger was herself, she just stood there with a dazed expression, until Mrs. Zheng's cold eyes swept over her, she was shocked, and blurted out, "Grandmother—"

"Kneel down!" Mrs. Zheng didn't allow her to say more at all, and she looked so harsh that she almost wanted to eat people.

Zheng Yan's heart trembled, and then she knelt down.

main entrance.

Chu Xunyang walked in the front all the time, and was the first to leave the gate of Pingguo Duke's Mansion.

Zheng Wenkang and Chu Qiyan followed two steps behind. Along the way, Zheng Wenkang kept a calm face and glanced at Chu Qiyan from time to time, but he hesitated to speak when he wanted to say something a few times.

Now that he was about to go out, he finally gritted his teeth and called out, "Qi Yan, wait!"

Chu Qiyan stopped, turned her head and gave him a questioning look.
