By the time the eldest princess of Xiangyang sent the guests to have lunch and returned to the flower hall where she was preparing to deal with things, it was already half an hour later.

The mistress of the Xu family was in poor health and was bedridden all year round. The person who came was Xu Manjin's younger brother Xu Chengyu, who was only fourteen years old this year.

The eldest sister was bullied outside. Even though Xu Chengyu was still a teenager and everyone present was more powerful than him, he still looked extremely protective, like a cub about to bite, standing in a protective posture.

At Xu Manjin's side.

Qi Rongxuan looked worried, but Xu Manjin refused to see him since he went to change clothes.

It seemed that no matter what he said, she didn't want to listen anymore.

Qi Rongxuan had no choice but to see his sister who was still unconscious.

There was an imperial physician at the eldest princess's residence. Qi Mingyue was so angry that she fainted, but soon woke up under the medical treatment of the imperial physician.

But she seemed to have been greatly stimulated, her eyes were always red, and her whole body was weak.

Qi Rongxuan couldn't even ask her what was going on.

The room was deathly silent.

Until the next person reports,

"The eldest princess of Xiangyang has arrived, and the noble concubine has arrived——"

Everyone stood up and waited for the eldest princess of Xiangyang and Qing Hui to sit at the top of the table, as well as Lian Jinchen and Mrs. Dou of the Duke of Fengguo who had arrived late.

Mrs. Dou is Lian Jinchen's maternal grandmother. She is nearly seventy years old and no longer goes out to visit guests.

It must have been Lian Jinchen who personally sent someone to pick him up just now.

The eldest princess of Xiangyang also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her old man coming.

Everyone sat down, but Mrs. Dou stared at Qingshan for a moment before looking away.

Qi Rongxuan, who had just finished his salute and sat down, raised his head. When he touched Qing Hui's face, he stood up excitedly and looked at her blankly. But the next second, when Qing Hui glanced at her, a flash of light flashed across his eyes.

Feeling a hint of pain, he apologized to everyone with a pale face, and then sat back down again.

Just the fingers tightly clasping the seat revealed the extreme unrest in his heart at this time.

He knew that it wouldn't be Qi Wan, it wouldn't be his "sister",

"Okay, since everyone is here, let's talk about what happened first." Princess Xiangyang knew that the process of the matter was no longer important, but there must be an explanation.

She looked at Lian Jinchen and said, "Prince Chen, please tell me."

"I would like to apologize to Miss Xu first. This is my fault, and I am responsible for it." Lian Jinchen stood up and saluted Xu Manjin, and then said: "I received a message from the maid, and clearly... Qi

The girl asked me to meet, so I went there. When I arrived, I felt something was wrong with the smell in the house. I was worried that something had happened, so I went in to take a look, and then I was drugged, and what happened next happened."

In fact, he knew that he and Xu Manjin would not have any substantial relationship in the future, but it was a fact that he was frivolous about Xu Manjin, and he could not shirk it.

The eldest princess of Xiangyang asked Xu Manjin again, "Miss Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Manjin has probably calmed down. Although her face is still pale, she has become much calmer.

Her voice had no fluctuation and she calmly told what happened.

"I accompanied that one... I accompanied Qi Mingyue to change clothes. When we got to the wing, she said she felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to rest for a while, so I stayed with her."

"After a while, she complained of chest tightness and wanted to go out for some air. I said I wanted to accompany her. She said that King Chen made an appointment with her and asked me to stay and wait for her for a while. I passed out while waiting."

There seemed to be nothing wrong with what these two people said. Princess Xiangyang finally asked Qi Mingyue,

"What about you? Miss Qi."

Qi Mingyue's cheeks were still a little swollen after being beaten by Xu Manjin, and her eyes were red. She looked very pitiful, "I know Brother Chen... I knew King Chen was coming, so I asked the maid to find him and wanted to meet him. The maid came back.

He told me that King Chen thought it was not appropriate to meet in the wing, so he asked me to go to the garden to wait for him, so I took the maid to the garden. I waited for a long time but didn't see anyone. I thought he was delayed by something, which was not good.

I asked Sister Xu to wait for me and then went back, who knows..."
