Chapter 442: Chu Yuefu Arrives

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Xiaoxiao quickly hid her arrogance and walked to Yu Yunxi before she said,

“Cousin, I finally met you. I’m helping you to clean up the mess.”

Initially, Yu Xiaoxiao only planned to frame Qian Qing to force Yu Yunxi to appear. However, she had changed her mind. If she could successfully frame Qian Qing, she thought she would be able to deal a heavy blow to Yu Yunxi. The more she thought about this, the more excited she became.

Yu Xiaoxiao reached out to hold Yu Yunxi’s arm, but Yu Yunxi was already prepared. She turned her body to the side, and Yu Xiaoxiao missed.

Yu Xiaoxiao’s expression turned ugly immediately.

Yu Yunxi said mercilessly, “Yu Xiaoxiao, I know that you like framing people, but how dare you target the person next to me?”

Yu Yunxi’s expression turned twisted again. Just as she was about to quibble, Luo Xiuran, who had lost his patience, spoke first.

“You said that Qian Qing stole the auspicious plate, right? Are you talking about

As he spoke, Luo Xiuran walked to a maidservant near Yu Xiaoxiao before he pulled her hand back.

Crash!

Something fell from the maidservant’s body and shattered on the ground.

Luo Xiuran retreated swiftly and said nonchalantly, “This is the so-called auspicious plate, right? I didn’t touch it, and I didn’t break it. If you want to settle the scores, look for her.

Nearing the end of his words, Luo Xiuran pointed at the maidservant.

The maidservant was frightened to death. She quickly fell to her knees and pleaded with Yu Xiaoxiao with tears in her eyes. “Commandery Princess, I, I was holding on to it properly like you told me to. It was Young Marquis Luo who grabbed my hand, making me lose my grip!”

As soon as the maidservant’s voice fell, the atmosphere turned strange immediately.

Luo Xiuran said with a sneer, “It seems like the Commandery Princess knew the auspicious plate was with you.”

Upon hearing this, the maidservant finally realized that she had misspoken. She quickly shook her head and said, panicking, “No, no, Qian Qing stole it! She stole it and framed me!”

Luo Xiuran looked down at the other party and said contemptuously, “Do you think your words are credible?”

Yu Xiaoxiao felt dizzy and flustered.

‘This idiot! How can I frame Qian Qing now that she exposed the truth!’

“T-there must be a misunderstanding…” Yu Xiaoxiao stammered.

Luo Xiuran said bluntly and impatiently, “Earlier, I overheard you asking your maidservant to hide the auspicious plate so you can cause trouble for the Eldest Princess. If I didn’t overhear you, I’m afraid the Eldest Princess’ reputation would’ve been ruined by you.”

Luo Xiuran was very smart. He deliberately said Yu Xiaoxiao was causing trouble for the Eldest Princess instead of Qian Qing. After all, Yu Xiaoxiao might still get away with trying to frame a maidservant. However, things would be very troublesome for Yu Xiaoxiao if it concerned the Eldest Princess.

Luo Xiuran looked at the silent crowd and said meaningfully, “Everyone was so enthusiastic about speaking up for the Commandery Princess earlier. Could it be that all of you were also trying to cause trouble for the Eldest Princess?”

Immediately after that, Yu Yunxi said, “Young Marquis Luo is right. I’ve just returned to the capital not long ago, but there are already so many people who are looking for trouble with me. Which family are you from? It seems like I have to visit your residence.”

Many people panicked. After all, they could tell from the beginning that Yu

Xiaoxiao was trying to frame Qian Qing. Afraid of trouble, they followed Yu Xiaoxiao’s wish. After all, in their eyes, Qian Qing was just a lowly maid. They would not even blink if a maidservant was killed, let alone framed for something she did not do. However, they did not expect that this would turn into them trying to cause trouble for the Eldest Princess. It would be bad if the Eldest Princess saw them as Yu Xiaoxiao’s accomplices.

“Eldest Princess, we were confused for a moment. We listened to the Commandery Princess’ words to determine the truth earlier…”

“We were wrong. We shouldn’t have misunderstood your maidservant just because of the Commandery Princess’ words.”

“We didn’t expect the Commandery Princess to deliberately mislead us!”

“That’s right! Commandery Princess, what were you thinking? We only came to have breakfast at Full Moon Pavilion, but you actually did this to us!”

Many people began to criticize Yu Xiaoxiao and pushed the blame on her. They were not fools after all. How could they not know how to choose between the Eldest Princess and the Commandery Princess, who was just a Princess of a Third Rank with no relations to the imperial family?

Seeing that no one was speaking up for her, Yu Xiaoxiao stomped her feet angrily and said, “You said those words yourself earlier! I didn’t do anything!”

Suddenly…

“What happened?”

Chu Yuefu finally arrived. When he saw Yu Yunxi, he quickly smiled and walked over to greet her.

Unexpectedly, Luo Xiuran stood in Chu Yuefu’s way and said expressionlessly, “You’re the Crown Prince, right? Earlier, your soon-to-be side consort tried to cause trouble for the Eldest Princess. I wonder if Your Royal Highness can give us an explanation for this matter?” Chu Yuefu’s expression darkened immediately. “Who are you?”

‘How dare this person stop me!’

Luo Xiuran was completely unaffected by Chu Yuefu’s murderous gaze. He opened his fan and said unhurriedly, “Luo Xiuran.”

‘It’s obvious this damn prince has designs on Yunxi! Yili is not here, and as his brother, I naturally have to help him protect his wife!’

‘Luo Xiuran?’

When Chu Yuefu heard this name, he almost could not maintain the expression on his face.

Last night, Wang Deshun had rushed to the Eastern Palace, bearing news of Chu Yuefu’s humiliation. Chu Yuefu and Empress Qin were so angry that they could not sleep the entire night.

After all, the actions of the King of Youshan, the Third Prince of Beixiao, the Prince Regent of Tianxia, and the head of the Murong family were no different from slapping Chu Yuefu’s face.

Chu Yuefu naturally remembered Luo Xiuran who came on behalf of Feng Yili last night. He really wished he could kill Luo Xiuran now. However, with so many pairs of eyes staring at him, he could only suppress his murderous urge and said through gritted teeth, “So it’s Young Marquis Luo from Tianxia. What do your words mean?”

Luo Xiuran yawned and said lazily, “You want me to explain again? I’m not interested in that.”

Then, Luo Xiuran pointed at a waiter and said, “You, come and explain the matter to your Crown Prince.”

The waiter who was called out felt like crying at this moment. He walked over shakily before he began to recount everything from the beginning until the end.

Luo Xiuran nodded in approval. He was not stingy with his praise, saying, “Oh, your memory is quite good. You actually recounted everything…”

The waiter felt like crying again. In the next moment, he saw a money pouch being thrown into his hands.

“This is a gift from me.”

Upon seeing the money pouch, the waiter’s fear vanished immediately, and he almost laughed out loud. He quickly said, “Thank you, Young Marquis Luo, thank you! ”

Luo Xiuran was in a good mood, but Chu Yuefu was not. Not only was Chu Yuefu unhappy, but he also felt like killing someone. He turned around and glared at Yu Xiaoxiao.

‘I really want to kill this idiot! I asked her to keep an eye on Yu Yunxi and get close to Yu Yunxi, but what did she do? She went against Yu Yunxi time and time again, affecting my relationship with Yu Yunxi! Not only that, but she even revealed the Shang family’s connection to Full Moon Pavilion! Does she want to expose me?’
