Ji Wenyue was really tired, not just out of anger.

She risked offending Gu Qingyuan by telling the Duke such things, just to wish the whole Duke's palace well, but her kindness was doubted by the person she liked the most.

He said he was afraid of being deceived, but he clearly suspected that he had slandered his only son.

When she left Gu Qingyuan's place, she said she would not regret it no matter what, but it didn't even take a cup of tea before she regretted it.

If she had known she would be suspected, she shouldn't have been so meddlesome in the first place. If she hadn't been meddlesome, she wouldn't have encountered such a thing now.

The Duke of Guo also knew that his words had hurt Ji Wenyue, but at this time, he didn't know what to say, especially when he saw the other person's eyes that dimmed instantly, he felt that he had done something wrong.

"Then...then you have a good rest." The Duke turned around, sighed secretly, and then left Ji Wenyue's yard.

Not long after the Duke of Guo left, Ji Wenyue received an uninvited guest in his yard.

This person is none other than Chuntao and Chen.

When she saw these two people, she frowned subconsciously, and then prepared to go back to her room.

Although Li Shichen's incident made her suspect a lot of things, it didn't mean that she could talk calmly to these two people, especially Chen. The memory of Chen bullying her was still fresh in her mind, and she was not that magnanimous to talk to Chen. Reconciliation.

With this in mind, Ji Wenyue was ready to go back.

However, before she entered the door, Chuntao's voice reached her ears: "Mrs. Wen, I know you don't want to see us, but for the sake of the prince, please stay!"

"For the Crown Prince?" Ji Wenyue turned to look at Chuntao and sneered: "What does the Crown Prince have to do with me?"

"Mrs. Wen, do you have to let this slave speak clearly?" Chuntao looked at Ji Wenyue, her eyes full of sincerity. Even Gu Qingyuan would doubt his own judgment when he saw such a look, let alone Ji Wen, who had no experience at all. moon.

She thought about what Chuntao said to her, and her heart was shaken.

At this time, Mrs. Chen spoke: "Brother Chen is a child who is less than a month old. He suffered a lot when he was a child. If you don't believe it, I can take you to see Po Wen who delivered Brother Chen. If you still have questions, see Once you get to her, I think you’ll understand.”

Ji Wenyue frowned and looked at Chen with a stunned expression. Chen's appearance now was completely different from the one he had when he warned her before.

"What do you mean by telling me this?" Ji Wenyue frowned: "To tell you the truth, I don't believe a word of what you told me."

"You really don't believe it?" A wry smile appeared at the corner of Chuntao's mouth: "Mrs. Wen, stop deceiving yourself. Isn't it because you helped the prince because you believed in my words? If you hadn't believed in my words, you would have Why is this necessary?”

Ji Wenyue took a deep breath and looked at Chuntao with stern eyes: "Yes, you are right. I did believe it at the beginning, so what? Just because I believed it at the beginning, I have to believe you now, right? ?”

It is impossible to say that you don’t believe it.But Gu Qingyuan's words are still echoing in Ji Wenyue's ears. No one can really say what happened back then.

"You..." Chuntao sighed and smiled bitterly: "I called the old lady here. If you have anything to do, you can tell me face to face. I believe the old lady will give you an answer."

Chuntao said, turned around and saluted Chen, then signaled Chen with her eyes to let her speak carefully, and then walked out.

After Chuntao walked out of the courtyard, Mrs. Chen looked at Ji Wenyue and said seriously: "Wenyue, I know I did a lot of things to regret you back then, I..."

"What are you doing?" Ji Wenyue looked at Chuntao with a smile on her lips: "There is nothing more to say between us. Don't mention what happened back then. Let the past go by. I don't want to recall it. "

Looking back on the past, it meant tearing open the wound over and over again. Ji Wenyue thought that she was not that noble yet, and she could not show her wound to anyone.

"Well, if you don't want to recall, then let's remember, Brother Chen... Brother Chen is indeed your child." God knows how painful it was when Mrs. Chen said these words.

That was the child she gave birth to in ten months of pregnancy, and now she is actually claiming to be someone else's!
She was annoyed, but she had to endure it.

"Do you think I will believe you?" Ji Wenyue asked.

"Then why do you think I lied to you?" Chen frowned. She didn't think Ji Wenyue could see through her lie. She had practiced it many times in front of the mirror when she came out. She believed that Ji Wenyue would never see it. from.

In fact, Ji Wenyue did not notice it. She just simply didn't believe Chen's words.

"I don't know." Ji Wenyue frowned: "I don't know why you lied to me, but what I know is that you definitely have evil intentions in doing this, but I don't know what you are planning."

Mrs. Chen sighed, with a wry smile on her lips: "I knew you wouldn't believe me, and I didn't hide it from you. You also saw the way I hit Brother Chen, even though Brother Chen belongs to me. A child, but he has no father-son affection for Brother Chen."

"The old lady is joking." A sneer appeared at the corner of Ji Wenyue's lips. If there was no father-son affection at all, that was just Chen's excuse!
If there really wasn't any affection between father and son, why would he come to me and ask those words?
"I'm not joking. If you had come a little later, Brother Chen's life would have been lost. You also know that I hate gambling the most, and Brother Chen has violated my taboo. Even if he is beaten to death, I don't think it's a big deal. What's strange, it's just because of your words that the master decided that Brother Chen would gamble again, which I never expected."

Mrs. Chen didn't know who told the Duke about Li Shichen's bet, but she couldn't think of anyone other than Ji Wenyue who could make the Duke take action indiscriminately.

"So? What do you want to express when you tell me this?" Ji Wenyue asked.

"Brother Chen really made a bet. Although I have helped him settle the account, if the incident comes to light, I will definitely not let Brother Chen go. Now only you can save Brother Chen!" Mrs. Chen did not She and Chuntao had already discussed the matter of dealing with Gu Qingyuan immediately and discussed it later. The purpose of saying it now was too obvious.

"You...you want me to save brother Chen?" Ji Wenyue frowned. She didn't expect that Chen told her this just to save Li Shichen's life.

When Mrs. Chen heard that there was something going on, she couldn't help but bring up a wry smile: "If it weren't for Brother Chen, how could I tell you the secret that I have hidden for many years!" (End of Chapter)
