Lord of Fortune

Xu Jiayi's move was sudden, but Chu Chen's reaction was faster.

Having been on the battlefield, he saw an unknown object rolling towards him, so he almost subconsciously pushed Xu Jiayi out.

Xu Jiayi fell heavily to the ground, and because of the slope, she almost rolled down.It was the maid beside her who had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and stretched out her hand to give her a hand, which avoided the tragedy.

Xu Jiayi's face turned pale from the pain. She lay on the ground, stood up with difficulty, looked at Chu Chen, and called out mournfully, "Cousin Chu..."

If it was an ordinary man, seeing such a flowery girl being hurt so miserably by him, he would feel pity in his heart and come up to help him.In addition, Xu Jiayi's appearance is very clear and beautiful, but at this time she is so pitiful, as long as she is not a man with a hard heart, she will feel compassion.

It's a pity that Chu Chen has a hard heart.

"Why is it you?" Chu Chen frowned and looked at Xu Jiayi, his face looked a little scary.

"I..." Xu Jiayi's eyes turned red quickly: "I sprained my ankle just now, I didn't mean to fall in front of my cousin..."

Hearing this, Han Mengqin finally couldn't bear it any longer. She walked over with a few official ladies who came with her: "We can see clearly whether you did it on purpose. Just now, Brother Zai Chen didn't come out." Before, you waited at the door for a long time, right?"

The officials around Han Mengqin also reacted and chimed in: "Yeah, why didn't you sprain your feet earlier or later, but it happened when Marquis Wu'an came over? You really think others are fools." Why? Why are the girls from the Xu family less respectful than the other!"

Thanks to them, they were worried about Xu Jiayi's troubles!

Xu Jiayi was flushed by several people, lowered her head, and clutched her skirt uneasily: "I... I didn't mean to..."

She was sitting on her knees, while Han Mengqin and the others were standing, and they were very imposing, as if Han Mengqin and the others were bullying her together.

Han Mengqin hated anyone playing this game in front of him.The behavior of the person in front of her coveting Chu Chen really touched her Ni Lin, she said unceremoniously: "Okay, put away your appearance. No matter how pitifully you cry, no one will sympathize with you. If you hadn't thought something you shouldn't have, why would you deliberately choose to go out today to create such an 'encounter' with Brother Chen?"

Xu Jiayi wiped away tears while quietly observing Chu Chen's reaction.

She was so pitiful, yet Chu Chen didn't react at all, and went to Han Mengqin's side, supporting Han Mengqin with silent actions.

Xu Jiayi's heart suddenly turned cold - she might not be able to complete the task assigned to her by her father today.

Before Xu Jiayi set off, her father, Mr. Xu, once told her that she must attract Chu Chen, and no matter how bad it was, she would also win Chu Chen's sympathy.It's a pity that all Chu Chen's tenderness and pity belonged to Han Mengqin, and he didn't even care about other women!

Han Mengqin looked at Xu Jiayi who was in a daze, and was not satisfied with the result in front of him.Although Xu Jiayi's reputation has been ruined, Chu Tongzhi and Mrs. Chu haven't entered the water yet!She and Chu Chen spent a lot of time playing with these people, not to deal with Xu Jiayi.

"In order to prevent you from saying that we have wronged you, it is better to send someone to investigate this matter carefully. Let us see whether you are waiting here on purpose, or if you really just happened to meet brother Chen."

As soon as Han Mengqin finished speaking, she immediately got a response from Chu Chen: "Yes, this matter is related to Ms. Xu's reputation after all, so it should not be ignored. If this matter is not intentional by Ms. Xu, then it's fine. If this matter is Ms. Xu has planned it, so don't blame me for being rude! I said earlier that I will not have other women except Qinqin, and I will never take anyone who intends to provoke the relationship between me and Qinqin Forgive me!"

While Chu Chen warned Xu Jiayi, he also did not forget to express his loyalty to Han Mengqin.

Seeing this, the other people who came with Han Mengqin were very envious of Han Mengqin.Who wouldn't want a talented, young and promising fiancé like Chu Chen?Not to mention, this fiancé still has a deep affection for Han Mengqin, and there is no one else in his eyes except Han Mengqin.

For a family of their status, it is quite common to have three wives and four concubines.The ones they marry in the future must be of the right family.Even they dare not expect their future husband to treat them wholeheartedly.However, Han Mengqin did it.

Before today, although they had heard that the relationship between Han Mengqin and Chu Chen was good and that Han Mengqin was the only one, they didn't quite believe it.Chu Chen worshiped the general at a young age, became a marquis, and had a high status. The temptations he faced were bound to be countless.Even if Han Mengqin and Chu Chen really have some affection, how long can they last?

However, when they saw how Chu Chen treated Xu Jiayi, they suddenly believed it.Chu Chen's ignorance of Xu Jiayi was simply undisguised. Even when they were standing here, Chu Chen didn't take another look at them.From the beginning to the end, Chu Chen only cared about Han Mengqin.

Such feelings, such pampering, are really enviable.

Although these official ladies thought so, they were not prepared to do anything.They are self-aware that Chu Chen is not someone they can imagine, not to mention Han Mengqin is not someone they can provoke.Don't look at Han Mengqin being quite friendly to them now, if they dare to play Chu Chen's idea, Han Mengqin will turn against them immediately.It took them a lot of thought to get closer to Han Mengqin, so as not to let such a situation happen.

In order to please Han Mengqin, several officials immediately decided that after returning home, they must have a good relationship with their relatives and friends to publicize these things that Miss Xu's family has done.Han Mengqin must be very happy that she hates Xu Jiayi so much now.

The officials who came with Han Mengqin were not at peace, and Xu Jiayi was also not at peace.

Are Han Mengqin and Chu Chen planning to prove her crime and then publicize it?If so, how can she hold her head up in the future?

During that moment, Xu Jiayi thought a lot.

She didn't really want to come - it's not that she didn't have any thoughts about Chu Chen, it's just that she is the person in the Xu family who is most able to assess the situation, and she knows that the chance of failure in this matter is far higher than the chance of success.It's okay to say that once she fails, Han Mengqin and Chu Chen will not let her go, even her father and Mrs. Chu will not let her go lightly.

No one cares about her feelings, no one cares about her thoughts, since that's the case, she doesn't need to protect those people, right?Anyway, even if she didn't tell, with Chu Chen's ability, she could finally find out the truth.

Just when Han Mengqin was about to say something more, Xu Jiayi winked at her personal servant girl.

Her personal servant girl immediately stepped forward and said: "It is true that my young lady deliberately chose this time to come to the temple to wait for Marquis Wu An, but she did not come here out of her original intention—it was after my master found out the whereabouts of Marquis Wu An, You forced my young lady to come here. If my young lady fails to fulfill the master's request, the master will punish my young lady heavily after returning."

"My servant really couldn't bear to see my young lady suffer unfair injustice, so I couldn't help but say a few more words. If Wu Anhou and Miss Han don't believe it, just go and investigate. I just ask you two not to blame my young lady, my young lady... really It's too difficult..." As the maid said, she burst into tears.

Xu Jiayi on the side also showed a sad look in cooperation.

Mrs. Chu and Master Xu chose Xu Jiayi as their chess piece because Xu Jiayi judged the situation.Unexpectedly, it was precisely because Xu Jiayi judged the situation too much that she would eventually turn against Mrs. Chu and Master Xu who were secretly planning all this.

If Mrs. Chu and Master Xu knew that Xu Jiayi had sold them to Chu Chen and Han Mengqin so easily, they would feel mixed feelings.

After Han Mengqin heard Xu Jiayi and her maid's words, the corners of Han Mengqin's mouth curled up slightly.Although she still didn't like Xu Jiayi, she had to admit that what Xu Jiayi did was in line with her wishes.

So far, Chu Tongzhi, Mrs. Chu and Mr. Xu have been completely dragged into the water.

Since Chu Chen has placed people beside Chu Tongzhi and Mrs. Chu, it is not difficult to obtain evidence.Soon, everyone knew what Chu Tongzhi and Mrs. Chu had done to plot against their parents.

If this matter was exposed all of a sudden, everyone might still doubt the authenticity of this matter, thinking that someone was slandering Chu Tongzhi and Mrs. Chu.However, this matter happened from Xu Jiayi to Master Xu, and then to Chu Tongzhi and his wife, and it appeared in front of everyone bit by bit.

Everyone thought of what Chu Tongzhi and his wife had done in the past, and almost immediately believed in the truth of this incident, and felt aggrieved for Chu Chen.

Chu Tong knew that when his father said he was sick, Chu Chen went to the temple to pray for him without saying a word. Such filial piety really made people unable to move.As a result, Chu Tongzhi and Master Xu were jointly planning this matter from the beginning to the end, just to let Xu Jiayi seduce-seduce-Chu Chen, so that Chu Chen could have someone who would speak for him?This incident is extremely absurd and extremely chilling.

Many people filled with righteous indignation have already begun to scold Chu Tongzhi and Master Xu for being shameless and disrespectful.

At this moment, Chu Tongzhi's political opponents produced evidence that Mrs. Chu used her husband's post to handle the lawsuit for others.Although Mrs. Chu had smoothed over this matter back then, there were still some clues that were found out by others.

Because of this incident, the Chu family was once again pushed to the forefront.

Chu Chen immediately went to Zhezi to plead guilty to Emperor Chongde, saying that although he was not responsible for this matter, he is a son of the Chu family after all, and the crime committed by his father is naturally his crime, and he begged Emperor Chongde to punish him.

While everyone lamented Chu Chen's "filial piety", they also became more shameless towards Chu Tongzhi and his wife.
