"I didn't! I didn't!"

Xing'er was so anxious that she kept shaking her head, and her pale face showed fear, because she could see that Li's face looked very bad.

The maids in the second room all knew that Li had a bad temper and a violent personality. If anyone made the slightest mistake, Li would beat or scold them. If anyone dared to lie to her, the consequences could be imagined.

"Madam, the Crown Prince's wife has wronged me. Even if I have the courage of heaven, I would not dare to deceive you!"

Xing'er knelt on the ground crying, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Li's face was tense and she couldn't tell what was true and what was false for a moment, but the matter had already been made public, and there could not be a problem with the second house!

"Su Xuqing, what you just said was just speculation. I can also make up stories. I even said that it was you who instigated the maid to deliberately embarrass Xing'er and then tore my clothes!"

Seeing Li's words, Su Xuqing was not in a hurry. She picked up the torn clothes, pointed at the tear at the waist and said, "Look, sister-in-law, have you found anything?"

Li looked doubtful and stared at the clothes again and again, but couldn't figure out what was going on.

"What's so interesting about this?"

Su Xuqing looked at him as if he was an idiot, shook her head, and then explained, "If Taozi and Xing'er were tearing the clothes, the clothes would be most likely to be torn at the seams. But look at this dress, it's clearly torn from the waist, and the fabric around the tear is loose, which means someone pulled it hard for a long time."

Li was stunned for a moment, and actually felt that there was some truth in it.

Xing'er's heart sank at this moment, and she quickly said, "Princess, this doesn't prove anything. It was your maid who tore it up on purpose. She wanted to harm me!"

Su Xuqing looked at Xing'er, her eyes fixed on her. "Xing'er, no one is perfect. I'm giving you a chance to admit your mistakes. If you take the initiative to admit it, I will protect you, but you can't stay in the Zhennan Palace. But if you insist on not changing your ways, I will show you the evidence, and I won't care how the Second Madam punishes you."

Xing'er's eyes flickered left and right. She felt that Su Xuqing was deliberately deceiving her. There were no witnesses to this incident and both parties had their own opinions. Where did the evidence come from?

"Princess, I really didn't lie to you. It was your maid who ruined Second Madam's clothes. You can't let me take the blame just because she is your maid."

Hearing this, Su Xuqing showed disappointment on her face. She shook her head and said slowly, "At the beginning of the month, the housekeeper bought a batch of supplies. Among them, the soap nuts for washing clothes have two scents, jasmine and honeysuckle. The first and second rooms got the jasmine-scented soap nuts, while the third and fourth rooms got the honeysuckle-scented soap nuts. You said you would wash clothes here first. Do you have the scent of jasmine on your hands?"

Xing Er was shocked when she heard this. She said in a panic, "I just ran away with my clothes and didn't have time to wash them with soap."

"is it?"

Su Xuqing waved, "Taozi, come here."

Xue Tao already knew what Su Xuqing wanted to do. She smiled playfully and thought that her wife was really smart.

Su Xuqing held Xue Tao's hand and did not go up to smell it, but she said firmly: "According to Xing'er, Xue Tao came later. After the conflict between the two, she must not have had time to wash clothes. Second sister-in-law might as well smell it to see if there is the scent of honeysuckle and soapberry on her hands."

Li frowned, took two steps at a time and walked up to it, then lowered her head and sniffed it.

The scent of honeysuckle wafted from Xue Tao's hand, and Li's face suddenly turned ugly, and she felt ashamed.

She turned around suddenly and kicked Xing'er in the lower abdomen.

"Bitch! You are so bold that you actually played me around like a fool!"

Xing'er felt so much pain that cold sweat broke out on her face. She held her stomach and curled up on the ground like a cooked shrimp.

Su Xuqing glanced at her coldly, then pulled Xue Tao's wrist, "Second sister-in-law, the right and wrong have been made clear, you can decide how to deal with it."

After saying that, Su Xuqing pulled Xue Tao out.

Li lost face in front of Su Xuqing and felt very embarrassed, so she immediately took out her anger on the maid.

"Slave, I'll beat you to death!"

Li kicked and beat Xing'er, making her scream in pain.

Outside the laundry room, Xue Tao smiled and said repeatedly, "Madam, Madam, the clothes haven't been washed yet, where are you taking me?"

Su Xuqing rolled her eyes at her in annoyance, and then said, "I just saw that the maid scratched your wrist. If you don't apply some medicine carefully, it will easily get inflamed once it is soaked in water. As for when can't clothes be washed?"

Xue Tao's eyes were as bright as spring, and he was happy in his heart. He felt that his wife was a caring person.

If I had met her earlier, even if I had been a maid, I wouldn't have had to live in such fear over the years...

Yinhuan followed Xue Tao, her eyes curved, "Xue Tao, you don't know how much Madam loves you. I just heard that you had a conflict with someone, and she was so anxious that she ran away with her shoes."

"Really, ma'am, why are you so nice?"

Su Xuqing pursed her lips lightly, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She reached out and lifted Xue Tao's earlobe, then said: "Knowing that I am good, you should be more obedient in the future. Tell me in advance when you encounter something. You suddenly got into a conflict with others. Fortunately, I was able to speak clearly this time because of Zaojiao. Otherwise, I don't know how many arguments I would have to have with Li."

Xue Tao's lively eyes flickered up and down, and then she asked curiously: "Madam, you didn't ask me anything after you went there, so how can I know who is right and who is wrong? What if the fault is mine?"

"That means I didn't discipline you well. I will be punished first, and then I will punish you."

Su Xuqing snorted softly, then let go of Xue Tao's earlobe. Xue Tao smiled, and suddenly understood why Yinhuan was always so timid.

Because she knew that if she made a mistake, her wife would also be implicated.

Madam is so kind. Such a person should not be wanted. A hint of determination appeared in Xue Tao's eyes. She stood under the peach tree and thought secretly that she should find an opportunity to confess her identity to Su Xuqing.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

At the same time, Tianxing Pavilion.

The Minister of Justice Xu Younian had been waiting in the guest hall of the pavilion for a long time and was gradually losing his patience.

"When will your Pavilion Master come back?"

"Please be patient, my lord. It will be over soon."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Justice slammed the table and said in a cold voice: "I have heard this sentence an hour ago."

The guard outside the door smiled and said, "If you can't wait, you can leave first. You can try your luck another day when you have time..."

"you!"

The Minister of Justice was so angry that his beard was about to be crooked, but he came today to ask for a favor, so naturally he couldn't get angry.
