Mo Yun also disagreed with this treatment, but he did not answer immediately. Instead, he sent all the servants away.
Then he asked Mo Yaohua, "Yaoyao, there are no outsiders here, so you can tell me what's going on now."
Mo Yaohua's heart was shocked, but she did not admit it. "Daddy, what do you mean by that? Don't you believe your daughter?"
Mo Yun didn't have time to play dumb with her. "There's no need to hide anything from your father. That maid was just a scapegoat."
"Dad..." Seeing that he had guessed it, Mo Yaohua told him the plan for today.
Mo Yun did not blame him after hearing this, but was curious, "The plan is so thorough, who is secretly helping Zhao Hua?"
"My daughter doesn't know either. The sachet was given by her, and the Kebula flower was also placed by my daughter. She has never left her body." Mo Yaohua still hasn't figured out how the flower disappeared.
"Since that loser also went to the princess's mansion, could it be that he helped him secretly?" Mo Yun ignored Mo Zhaohua's reminders and threats, and still called Chu Xuanchi a loser in private.
Mo Yaohua shook his head, "Maybe, Your Highness will check it out. The most urgent thing is what should my daughter do?"
Mo Yun wanted to gain a reputation for her. "I will send a visiting card to Prince Qi's mansion tomorrow and discuss this matter with His Highness."
"I was hoping that she would be in the wrong, so I would take this opportunity to have her go to the Queen Mother to speak up for Yaoyao." Mo Yaohua wanted more than Mo Zhaohua expected, and she wished she could squeeze out all her value.
On the other side, Mo Zhaohua followed Rong Qing back to Wanxiangju. After dinner, he went into the inner room and briefly told Rong Qing that he had asked Yueying to secretly replace the sachets.
Rong Qing was still horrified after hearing this, "This Shangshu Mansion has actually become a place where people are eaten. Fortunately, Zhao Zhao is smart, otherwise it would have been destroyed by them."
"Don't worry, mother. Since Zhaozhao knows their true colors, he will be on guard." Mo Zhaohua will never be deceived by them again in this life, nor will he be a stepping stone for them.
The mother and daughter talked for a long time. Rong Qing felt sorry for Mo Zhaohua for being so tired from going out, so she urged her to go and rest. She did not refuse and then returned to Yixiayuan.
Pearl had learned about what happened today from Amber. When she saw Mo Zhaohua coming out, her eyes turned red and she choked up and called out, "Miss..."
Mo Zhaohua couldn't see her expression in the darkness, but he could tell she was crying. He chuckled, "Why are you still crying, little girl? I'm fine, aren't I?"
"But the lady almost fell into a trap." Pearl was just choking at first, but now she was really crying.
Mo Zhaohua said softly, "Don't worry, Miss, I only trust you now, and I will be cautious about everyone else."
Pearl sniffed, "I will have to be careful in the future. I won't trust anyone except the young lady."
Mo Zhaohua reminded, "Mother, you still have to believe it. Anyone can harm me, but mother won't."
Pearl nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, Madam, you can trust me. I will have to tell Amber when I go back."
The two returned to Yixia Courtyard, and Mo Zhaohua called Yueying into the inner room alone, "Have you dealt with everything?"
"Don't worry, Miss. I promise not to leave any traces." Dealing with such small things is no problem for Yueying.
Mo Zhaohua was still relieved about her, "Only you, I, and His Royal Highness know about this matter. I don't want more people to know."
Yueying straightened her back, her face solemn, "I understand, I will not reveal a single word."
Mo Zhaohua breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily you are here today. If it were Amber, the consequences would be unimaginable."
She thought it was a difficult thing to do, after all, Mo Yaohua was a living person, but Yueying told her it was not difficult.
Yueying did not dare to take credit for it. "It is my honor to be able to help the young lady. It is my blessing."
***
The study room of the Royal Palace.
Fengying handed a stack of documents to Chu Xuanchi.
Chu Xuanchi took it and flipped through it, reading ten lines at a glance and then letting Wuying read it.
This is the relevant information about the eldest princess' scapegoat maid. Fengying left early to conduct an investigation.
The maid's name was Qiaojuan. She was only fourteen years old. There were six people in her family, including her grandfather and a three-year-old brother.
This evening, they were all engulfed in a fire, reportedly caused by someone accidentally igniting the kitchen while cooking.
This was obviously a murder to silence the witness, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that the incident happened right after Qiaojuan got into trouble.
Chu Xuanchi didn't need to think too much about who the murderer behind the scenes was, and he didn't need any evidence. He just put the blame on Chu Xuanhan.
"All dead? Could King Qi be so cruel?" If it weren't for their own people investigating, Wuying wouldn't have dared to believe it.
Chu Xuanchi narrowed his eyes slightly, he was also shocked that Chu Xuanhan was such a cruel person in private.
In this case, it is normal for Mo Zhaohua to be unwilling to marry Chu Xuanhan, but if she is a pawn, it means that they are equally cruel and ruthless, and he has to be more careful in the future.
"That's right. The fire was so fierce when we arrived that we couldn't get in. We could only listen to them burn to death." Fengying was the person in charge of this investigation.
He found out Qiaojuan's information and took people there, but it was too late. Although her father was not dead yet, he only called out a few words before he fell silent.
Wuying pondered and said, "Master, since Miss Mo allowed Yueying to participate, does this mean that she and Prince Qi are not in cahoots?"
"It cannot be proven completely, and it could be a joint play. We still have to be cautious and not believe it easily."
"Yes, master." Wuying also knew that Chu Xuanchi was cautious, especially after being injured, it was even more difficult for him to trust others.
Every failure makes one wiser. If Chu Xuanchi had not trusted that man too much, he would not have ended up like this.
Thinking of that person, Wuying's eyes darkened a little, filled with overwhelming hatred, and his hands hanging on both sides of his legs clenched quietly.
