Mo Zhaohua came up to Chu Xuanchi and explained softly, "Your Majesty, I was just chatting with Master Xiao for a few words."

Chu Xuanchi was furious, "My legs are only broken, not my mouth. If the princess wants to chat, I will accompany anyone."

Mo Zhaohua was so anxious that the corners of her eyes turned red, and she almost cried, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant."

Chu Xuanchi seemed to have changed into a different person. "Then why did you get so close to a stranger without telling me?"

Mo Zhaohua wanted to explain with a face full of grievance, "I am just..."

Chu Xuanchi didn't give her a chance. "As my wife, you don't follow me but deliberately fall behind. Do you dislike me?"

Mo Zhaohua denied it repeatedly, "No, how could I dislike Your Majesty?"

Chu Xuanchi said coldly: "Don't think that I don't know. You all are respectful on the surface, but you look down on me in private."

Mo Zhaohua was about to cry, "I really have never thought about it this way. Since I entered the mansion, I have believed that I have a clear conscience towards the prince."

Xiao Yan spoke for her, "Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I am a man from outside the family, and I should take the initiative to stay away from the princess to avoid suspicion."

Mu Xueyan also said: "Brother Yu Wang, they just said a few words, and it was in front of everyone, so it's not a big deal."

"Even you are speaking for this woman?" Chu Xuanchi's face was gloomy. "Don't you always hate her?"

Mu Xueyan explained, "Xue'er, let's talk about the matter at hand. It's obviously you who are wrong now. You are making trouble unreasonably and causing your sister-in-law to suffer."

"I am truly sorry. It is all my fault that I have caused trouble for the princess. I have been wandering around the world and I am not that considerate in terms of etiquette."

Xiao Yan's face was filled with shame, he really didn't expect that Chu Xuanchi would get so angry just because he said a few words in front of others.

It seems that after being injured and becoming a disabled person, Chu Xuanchi's temperament has changed a bit. He is not only sensitive and suspicious, but also moody.

Mo Zhaohua was still dignified and generous to him, "This has nothing to do with you, it's because the prince is too sensitive and disturbed your interest."

Chu Xuanchi was so angry that he laughed, "I am sensitive? Haha..."

Mo Zhaohua frowned, aggrieved but stubborn, "My Lord, Young Master Xiao is a guest. If you have something to say, please come to me, don't involve others."

Chu Xuanchi followed suit, "Okay, then you go back with me now and explain clearly what your intentions were just now."

Mo Zhaohua cooperated tacitly, "Sorry, Miss Mu, Mr. Xiao, I will go back to the backyard first, please don't mind these trivial matters."

"It's just a small matter to you?" Chu Xuanchi lost his temper again. "Is this just a small matter to you?"

Mo Zhaohua ignored him and walked back quickly.

Wuying pushed Chu Xuanchi and followed behind, both of them had serious expressions on their faces.

Seeing them leave angrily, Xiao Yan felt very upset, "Miss Mu, it seems I should leave as soon as possible."

Mu Xueyan didn't want him to leave, and said angrily: "Then you can take Xue'er with you, Xue'er still has something to repay her for."

Xiao Yan refused again and again, "How can this be possible? Following me will damage the lady's reputation, and the lady does not need to repay me."

If they were a single man and a single woman together, it would be easy for people to think they were having an affair without a matchmaker, which would be extremely detrimental to the woman's reputation.

"No, Xue'er hates ungrateful people the most, and also hates those who don't repay kindness. Could it be that Master Xiao wants Xue'er to be such a person?"

As the saying goes, if someone saves your life, you should repay him with your life-saving grace. If Xiao Yan is willing, Mu Xueyan doesn't mind, but she has not taken that step yet.

Xiao Yan was in a dilemma. "But because of me, the prince and the princess have already had a misunderstanding. If we continue to stay here, I'm afraid there will be more trouble."

Mu Xueyan comforted him, "This is Prince Yu's fault. If he really makes my sister-in-law suffer and implicates the young master, Xue'er will go and talk to him."

On this side, Mu Xueyan was still gently persuading Xiao Yan to stay, while on the other side, Mo Zhaohua and Chu Xuanchi had already returned to the backyard.

Chu Xuanchi sent all the servants out, not even allowing Pearl and Amber to stay, and then started arguing with Mo Zhaohua inside.

He asked sternly, "Tell me, what do you mean? Is it because I can't give you the life you want that you want to have an affair?"

"How dare Your Highness slander my innocence like this?" As a woman, Mo Zhaohua could not shout or scream no matter how angry and aggrieved she was.

The main courtyard was so big and her voice was so soft that people outside could only hear Chu Xuanchi's curses but could not hear her weak explanation.

As a man of Emperor Wenzong and the steward of the palace, Wei Zhengde had connections in the palace and soon got the news.

He was shocked to learn that the prince and the princess had actually quarreled. After all, the prince and princess had been getting along very well since their wedding.

After finding out the reason, he hurried to the backyard, fearing that they would quarrel too violently and really hurt the already shallow relationship between husband and wife.

Emperor Wenzong still hopes to turn Mo Zhaohua into Chu Xuanchi's weak spot. If he fails to handle this matter well, the consequences will be serious.

He came to the main courtyard in the backyard and saw Huaying and Zhenzhu Amber outside the courtyard. "Why were you kicked out too?"

Pearl and Amber are Mo Zhaohua's maids who came with her as a dowry. They have always served the mistress personally and are deeply loved and trusted by her.

A few days ago, she had mentioned to him that she wanted him to keep an eye out for suitable men in the mansion, and it was obvious that she wanted to arrange a marriage for the two of them.

Pearl did not go to the back garden today, so she did not see it with her own eyes and did not know the inside story. She was kicked out for no apparent reason.

Although she later learned the reason from Amber, it was the first time she saw the prince and princess quarreling, and she was very worried.

Hearing this, she looked at Wei Zhengde for help, "The prince is furious, and only Lord Wuying dares to approach. Please, housekeeper, think of a solution."

Wei Zhengde was even more worried than she was, and asked anxiously, "What's the situation inside now? How did the two masters get to such a point?"

Amber was terrified and her eyes were red with pain. "What the prince said was so unpleasant. The princess has suffered a great injustice."

Since Chu Xuanchi was just putting on an act, he naturally said things in a harsh way, so that he would appear to be being unreasonable and give Mo Zhaohua a reason to go back to her parents' home.

Wei Zhengde stepped forward and shouted, "My Lord, can you please let me in?"

Chu Xuanchi only uttered one cold word, "Get lost!"

Wei Zhengde did not dare to offend him. After all, he was a god of war who lived on the edge of a knife. Even if he was disabled, he could be killed easily.

He could only persuade her from outside: "Your Majesty, the princess has done nothing wrong. You must not say hurtful words in anger and hurt the princess's heart."

"Only if it's wrong?" Chu Xuanchi asked harshly, "Does it mean that it's wrong only if she has sex with other men and gets pregnant?"

Wei Zhengde tried to reason with him, "Your Highness, the princess is the mistress of the house, and Young Master Xiao is a guest. The princess is just being polite..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard angry shouts from inside, "Why are you crying? Are you mourning for me? Are you hoping that I will die soon?"
