Chapter 4
"Then she agrees?" Beigong Tengxiao frowned slightly, his voice was low, and his eyes were somewhat menacing.

Steward Zhao said with cold sweat on his forehead, "She was happy just now..."

Beigong Tengxiao turned his head and glanced at Chu Jiaoli, only to see that her eyes were reddish, her lips were pursed, she shook her head pitifully, eyes full of grievances.

Steward Zhao looked up at her lovely and pitiful appearance, and was startled.

This is too good at acting!
Beigong Tengxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "Is this also called happiness?"

Steward Zhao kowtowed immediately: "Your Highness, spare your life! Your Highness, spare your life! The grassroots are absolutely not lying!"

Chu Jiaoxing, who has always been brave enough to stand up for justice, immediately ran to Chu Jiaoli's side, pointed to Housekeeper Zhao on the ground and said, "Say! Did the Yang family sell her?"

Chu Jiaoli glanced at Chu Jiaoxing, although if she hadn't been annulled by Qi Shizi yesterday because of escaping marriage, she and her fourth sister would not have been sold. He harbored hatred, but Chu Jiaoxing didn't do it on purpose after all.

After being sold into the Zhao Mansion, it was Chu Jiaoxing who helped her match Beigong Tengxiao, and this gave her the opportunity to fly to Gaozhi.

She failed to kill Chu Jiaoxing, but Chu Jiaoxing cared about her sisterhood and never thought of revenge. It was the people close to her who really wanted to kill her.

Thinking about it now, I regret it.

"Steward Zhao, you can't talk nonsense! It was Chu Jiaoli who promised to marry into your family!" Hearing that Chu Jiaoxing was going to blame his mother, Chu Yuanzhe was so nervous that his brow was sweating, and he immediately turned to Housekeeper Zhao. call out.

Butler Zhao glanced at Chu Yuanzhe who was being detained, and then raised his eyes to see Beigong Tengxiao's gloomy face. How could he not know which is more important!
Seeing the wind, he immediately confessed: "Young Master Chu is wrong! It was Mrs. Yang who sold this little girl to our family!"

And everyone's face was full of resentment, this is clearly the Chu family selling their daughters!Unexpectedly, the Chu family would be domineering to ordinary people, even their own daughter!

Chu Yuanzhe was still unyielding, and shouted: "I sold her to you with good intentions, but you are biting back like this!"

Beigong Tengxiao turned his head, slightly raised his eyebrows at Chu Jiaoli, and said, "Are you from the Chu Mansion in Dongshi?"

Chu Jiaoli froze for a moment, then nodded.

Beigong Tengxiao looked thoughtfully at Chu Yuanzhe, who was full of anger, and said calmly: "Second Master Chu, although I don't know anything about the affairs outside the palace, the cloth from the Chu family killed Zhang Cairen. I have also heard about this incident, so I don't know if it has something to do with Second Young Master Chu?"

Since Chu Jiaoxing was selected by Beigong Qianqiu for engagement, the Yang family and the two brothers and sisters regarded her as a thorn in their eyes. Chu Yuanzhe poisoned the fabrics that made clothes for her in order to kill Chu Jiaoxing. The cloth on Jiao Xing's body was sent to the palace, and by accident, Zhang Cairen was poisoned to death in the harem.

Something happened in the palace, the emperor was naturally furious, the Chu family was doomed, Master Chu also sat in the prison for a month, although Chu Yuanzhe blamed it as the tailor's hands and feet, the Chu family escaped death, but Master Chu was imprisoned, and the common people were restless, using this to make a big fuss, protesting what the Chu government did on weekdays.

For the sake of the common people, the emperor ordered a strict investigation of Chu's daily behavior, and he began to hate it, so he cut off the royal business.

The Chu family, which had lost its status as an imperial merchant, lost all its wealth overnight and became desolate.

Hearing this, Chu Yuanzhe was so frightened that his face turned pale. He couldn't help shaking his legs, and said: "His Royal Highness is wronged! This matter has nothing to do with the grassroots. The Holy Majesty has investigated this matter strictly. Beheaded, Caomin... Caomin is a victim!"

"Really?" Beigong Tengxiao narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, looking at him with a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, his tone was deep.

"His Royal Highness, the daughters of the people are also deeply suspicious of this matter!" Chu Jiaoxing raised her hand and squeezed her chin, and said maliciously beside him.

Chu Jiaoli's pupils shrank gradually. Although she didn't know what enmity he had with the concubine in the palace, seeing Chu Yuanzhe's guilty state, she suddenly realized it.

It was Chu Yuanzhe who made the Chu family so depressed, not Chu Jiaoxing!He is the culprit of all this!

She raised her head, frowned and said, "Chu Yuanzhe is lying."

For this matter, Chu Yuanzhe didn't even dare to scold them back, and said in a panic, "The grass people are wronged! Wronged!"

Beigong Tengxiao looked at the frightened Chu Yuanzhe, and then at the two people who were escorting Chu Yuanzhe. The clothes belonged to Qi Shizi's residence, so he asked him, "Where does Qi Shizi plan to take him?"

Beigong Qianqiu smiled lightly and said: "Just now he injured someone and was about to send him to the yamen."

"No need." Beigong Tengxiao looked at Chu Yuanzhe seriously, and said, "Send it to Dali Temple and investigate this matter strictly."

"Very good." Beigong Qianqiu nodded, and waved to the two people who were escorting him.

Chu Yuanzhe who was carried away shouted: "His Royal Highness, spare your life! Prince Qi, spare your life!"

Soon, his voice was covered by the curses of the crowd, who threw eggs and vegetable leaves at him one after another.

Returning to a moment of tranquility, Beigong Tengxiao stared at Butler Zhao who was still kneeling on the ground, and took out a bank note from his sleeve to him.

Steward Zhao glanced at him from the corner of his eye, but he didn't dare to raise his eyes. He hesitated for a while, how to deal with the master now...

Beigong Tengxiao threw the banknotes on the ground, and said indifferently: "If you don't want to be company with Second Young Master Chu, just take the money and leave."

Butler Zhao took a closer look, surprised and delighted, the bank note was actually 1000 taels!

"Yes! Yes! Get lost, little one!" He hurriedly grabbed the bank notes on the ground and stuffed them into his arms, stood up scrambling, and ran away with the Zhao family.

Chu Jiaoli watched the expensive banknote being taken into the arms of Steward Zhao and fled. She didn't recover for a long time, she frowned slightly, and explained: "Your Highness, actually..."

"1000 taels! As expected of the prince! Such a generous offer!" Chu Jiaoxing was shocked and admired, and interrupted her unintentionally.

Hearing this, everyone was even more embarrassed.

Chu Jiaoli hesitated to speak, if she said now that Zhao Yuanwai only gave the Chu family 100 taels, Beigong Tengxiao would definitely lose face...

Beigong Qianqiu squinted her phoenix eyes, looked at Chu Jiaoxing who was full of dog legs, and said, "Then you follow Your Highness and don't come into my residence."

When the words fell, he turned and walked into the mansion.

"Hey! I'm just joking!" Chu Jiaoxing was full of annoyance, if it wasn't for entering the mansion to find the heirloom, she wouldn't be so shameless relying on Beigong Qianqiu!
Just as she was about to get up and go with him, she turned her head to look at Chu Jiaoli again, and said, "Third sister, do you want to follow me, I will definitely take good care of you!"

After the words fell, Chu Jiaoxing took her hand and walked towards the Shizifu, saying: "We will die together in the Shizifu, and we will be free soon!"

Chu Jiaoli raised her eyes to look at the Shizi Mansion in front of her, and then quietly looked back at Beigong Tengxiao.

The front is a wolf's den, and the back is a tiger's den, so there is no freedom to speak of, not to mention, Chu Jiaoxing herself is hard to protect...
