Chapter 1023 The Dinner Party at the Chu Mansion ([-])

Chu Xixi kept looking at Liu's face, and seeing the change in her face, she knew that Liu's heart must be full of turmoil at this time. It seems that there is no need to worry about tonight's dinner.

"By the way, Aunt Liu, there is one more thing for Xixi to come here this time. Dad ordered me to come here before the dinner and inform Aunt Liu about the investigation. After Xixi went back, she asked carefully. The maid next to me has been to my room. My mother and Aunt Liang saw it with their own eyes. She thought she was calling me over, but she didn't take it seriously. Now Xixi wants to see this maid, so she asked Be clear, so that Aunt Liang can rest assured."

With a smile on her face, Chu Xixi looked at Mrs. Liu's livid face, and immediately seized the opportunity to talk about today's events in front of her.

"My maid has never left my side, why has she ever been in your room? Maybe the younger sisters misunderstood it!"

Liu naturally knew the whereabouts of her maid.She has been with the old lady all day and never left.Wen's and Liang's must have been wrong.

"How could it be? Mother and Aunt Liang don't talk nonsense. If it's about my business, Mother and Aunt Liang will also seek truth from facts. They must have seen it, but the two of them only saw the back, because it was Liu The clothes of the servant girl next to my aunt, so I came here to ask."

Chu Xixi's puzzled look made Liu frowned.

"Clothes? That must be a mistake. My maid has never left my side. Today, the two of us have been by the old lady's side. If Xixi doesn't believe it, you can ask the old lady!"

Although Mrs. Liu's words were a bit unruly, they were also true.

"Oh, that's weird. The clothes were given to the servant girl by Aunt Liu herself a few days ago. Because the colors and fabrics are all good, if one person gets it wrong, it's unlikely that both of them get it wrong. Could it be her Send your clothes to be washed? Isn’t it borrowed again?”

Chu Xixi put on a curious look, but it was actually just secretly reminding Liu Shi that the things here are not that simple.

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she didn't answer in a hurry, but paused for a moment, as if she was thinking about something in secret.Seeing that Mrs. Liu did not reply, Chu Xixi knew in her heart that Mrs. Liu must be calculating in her heart at this time how much she has been calculated by Mrs. Qu.

"Well, wait a minute, I'll send someone to call her over, and Xixi will just ask her."

Chu Xixi came this time not only because of Chu Taiping's orders, but on the other hand, Liu Shi was also puzzled. If Chu Xixi could help him solve this mystery right now, maybe he would feel better.

Thinking back to today when Qu Shi came here and hurriedly informed him that there was something missing in the gift list, he was quite grateful to Qu Shi at that time, but if this matter is really just a trap, then Qu Shi is really hateful.

Mrs. Liu sent someone to call the maid over.After a while, a maid in lavender clothes appeared in front of the two of them, bowing her head respectfully, looking at her toes.

"Cai Jing, let me ask you, where did you go when Miss Today got married?"

Mrs. Liu spoke first.After all, this is the small courtyard of the Liu Mansion, if a junior is allowed to show off his power here, not to mention losing his status, even the Xiao family will make a joke behind his back.

"Ma'am, the servant didn't go anywhere, but has been by your side all the time?"

Caijing is also quite puzzled, she has been inseparable today, why did Mrs. Liu suddenly ask about this?
"Really not?"

Liu couldn't help confirming again, but seeing Caijing firmly shaking her head, and then turning her head to look at Chu Xixi, she seemed unsure, as if she was not here to ask questions, but to watch a play.

"The clothes I rewarded you a few days ago, you still take good care of them?"

Mrs. Liu looked at Caijing. This maid has been by her side for many years and has always been loyal. This is why Mrs. Liu appreciates her.Chu Xixi's suspicion of Caijing right now really made Liu Shi quite annoyed.

It depends on the owner to beat the dog, let alone his personal servant girl.This made Liu feel ashamed, but he couldn't attack.Right now, Chu Xixi came here because of Chu Taiping's orders. If Chu Xixi was made difficult, Chu Taiping might find out and feel unhappy.

"Ma'am, that dress was borrowed by Caiping who is next to Mrs. Qu. She said it looked good, and she wanted to cut one according to that style. This year, Mrs. Qu promised her to go home for the New Year. She wanted to wear a beautiful dress. Parents also Follow Zhanguang. I went to ask for it yesterday. I thought I would wear it today. On the day of the young lady’s wedding, it would be better for a servant girl to be more decent. It's been a long time, why haven't you cut it? Could it be that the clothes are made of good material and you don't want to return them?"

Caijing guessed on her own.She didn't notice her words made Liu's complexion even more ugly.

Chu Xixi was silent on the side, looking at Liu Shi quite optimistically.Now that Caijing is telling the truth, it is time for Mrs. Liu to see clearly that Mrs. Qu is not only trying to frame Wen's mother and daughter, but also obviously wanting to provoke a fight between them.Even if Chu Xixi was really eloquent and forced to stay, I'm afraid that the one who resented her would be Liu Shi.This Qu family is really careful, even such things are arranged so properly.It can be seen that Qu Shi has put in a lot of effort this time, and is determined to push everyone into his trap.

It's a pity that Chu Xixi found such a loophole in her secrets.

"Why did Madam ask about the clothes? If Madam wants to see it, I will ask Caiping to bring it back."

Seeing Liu Shi's unfriendly expression, Caijing immediately realized that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, and immediately asked Liu Shi.

"No, you are tired today, go back and have a good rest. If I have something to do, I will call you over."

Liu tried her best to pretend nothing happened and told Caijing to go back and rest.Cai Jing agreed, turned and left Liu's house.

Only Liu Shi and Chu Xixi were left looking at each other.

"Aunt Liu is a smart person, and there are some things that Xixi doesn't need to say too bluntly. Daddy will definitely ask about this matter at the dinner party tonight, and then I will ask Aunt Liu to tell Daddy the truth. Xixi is here to thank you."

Chu Xixi put on a pleading look, and even bent down to salute, which made Liu's heart quite messy, and she didn't know how to respond to Chu Xixi's words for a while.

"It's about your sister Lian'er's dowry, I will definitely tell the truth to the master. Rest assured, Xixi, you will tell your mother when you go back, and say that if I have time, I will come and sit down."

Mrs. Liu's attitude towards Chu Xixi changed suddenly, but this was also expected by Chu Xixi. She stood up and looked at Mrs. Liu with a grateful expression:

"Thank you Aunt Liu. If I can have Aunt Liu's help today, I will be cleared. Xixi will go back now. Mother will be very happy to find out."

Chu Xixi's rather excited appearance made Liu Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

"One family doesn't speak two different languages. By the way, these are wedding cakes specially delivered by the kitchen today. You can take some back and let your mother taste it."

Mrs. Liu personally picked up a few wedding cakes, wrapped them in handkerchiefs, and gave them to Chu Xixi.
