Chapter 437 Confession
The door opened quickly.
But why is it different from what she expected?
"Ah, isn't this the maid who spilled water on Princess Zhaoning's clothes before? It can't be her."
"Yes, yes, so it really wasn't Princess Zhaoning. I knew Princess Zhaoning wouldn't do such a thing. She really is a lowly maid, she's an eyesore."
"How could it be you? Why are you here? Where is Xiao Siyue? Is she still inside?" The Fourth Princess looked at the person kneeling on the ground in disbelief.
"Princess, save me!" Qiu Xiang cried, tears streaming down her face. She was doomed.
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Princess immediately snapped back to reality: "Who are you? What do you have to do with me? How dare you do such a despicable thing in broad daylight? You deserve to die!"
"Your Majesty, this shameless maidservant should be executed." The Fourth Princess said to the Second Princess standing beside her, her anxious tone chilling the Second Princess to the bone.
She had realized that all of this was done by her younger sister, whom she had grown up with, who had used such dirty means to try and harm Princess Zhaoning.
She knew her younger sister had been willful since childhood, but she only thought it was childish. Now she realized that it wasn't at all. She was suddenly grateful that she had endured humiliation and hardship before and hadn't provoked her, otherwise she didn't know if she would have used the same methods on her.
She glanced at the fourth princess, her eyes no longer filled with the tenderness and doting affection she had shown before. She was very disappointed in this younger sister, but no matter what, she couldn't involve her today. If people found out that the fourth princess of the royal family had plotted to frame the daughter of a minister, then the entire royal family would be disgraced.
Looking at the person on the ground, she was relieved that it wasn't Princess Zhaoning. If something had happened to Princess Zhaoning at her residence today, how would she explain it to the Xiao family?
"You..." He was about to speak when he was interrupted.
"Why is it so lively here? What happened?"
"Yue'er." Gu Xinglan's eyes lit up when she saw Xiao Siyue, and she immediately went to greet her.
Everyone looked over and saw Xiao Siyue still wearing the same clothes as before, standing behind them with a smile.
The Fourth Princess stared wide-eyed at Xiao Siyue: "You...where did you come from? Didn't you go to change your clothes? Why..."
Seeing that Xiao Siyue was completely unharmed, the Fourth Princess almost tore the handkerchief in her hand to shreds. Her plan had actually failed.
“Yes, I did go to change my clothes, but who would have thought that the clothes the maid gave me didn’t fit? So she went to find another one, but she didn’t come back for a long time. I had to go out and look for it, and I got lost. I wandered around for a long time before I finally found my way here. Why are you all gathered here?” Xiao Siyue smiled slightly at the Fourth Princess.
However, this seemingly friendly smile was interpreted by the fourth princess as an undisguised provocation.
"Oh dear, look, so this young lady is here! Hmm, why is she kneeling? What's going on here?" Xiao Siyue blinked her big eyes, looking completely innocent, as if she had no idea what was happening.
Looking at Xiao Siyue's innocent and naive appearance, as if she were truly kept in the dark, everyone present looked at each other, speechless for a moment, and even felt a little guilty.
Gu Xinglan and Ye Mufan, standing not far away, suppressed their laughter and watched Xiao Siyue perform with great enthusiasm.
If it weren't for the occasion, they probably would have burst into laughter long ago.
But they couldn't afford to ruin things, so the two quickly composed themselves, exchanged a knowing glance, and then Gu Xinglan spoke first: "Yue'er, you don't know, but a lot of unexpected things happened here just now..." He then vividly recounted what had happened.
After Gu Xinglan finished speaking, Xiao Siyue's eyes widened, and she unconsciously covered her mouth with her hands, her face full of astonishment. She exclaimed, "Heavens! I never expected so many things to happen. This little maid is far too bold!"
"Isn't that right? They're incredibly bold," Ye Mufan chimed in.
Xiao Siyue's eyes darted around, then she said, "But why would you think it was me? Could it be..."
As she spoke, Xiao Siyue glanced at everyone's faces, giving the Fourth Princess a few extra looks.
Then she continued, "Could it be that you want to harm me, Second Princess? You must stand up for me!"
Xiao Siyue looked at the Second Princess with a wronged and frightened expression.
"Princess Zhaoning, rest assured, I will definitely investigate this thoroughly." The Second Princess looked at Xiao Siyue and understood everything. It seemed that she absolutely had to give her an explanation today, so she had no choice but to proceed.
"What are your names, and why are you engaging in this illicit act here?"
"Princess, spare me! It was she...it was she who seduced me!" The man first pointed the finger at Qiu Xiang.
Qiu Xiang looked at the man, feeling disgusted by what had just happened, but she didn't say anything. She knew she was doomed.
"Is what he said true?"
Qiu Xiang remained silent.
"Qiu Xiang, you have some nerve! How dare you do such a despicable thing in the Princess's residence! Guards, take them both away and beat them to death with sticks!" The Second Princess wanted to resolve the matter quickly.
Xiao Siyue wouldn't let her off so easily.
"I think that's unlikely. He's so ugly, why would Qiu Xiang seduce him?"
Indeed, this man was incredibly ugly. He was short, with distorted features, looked to be in his forties or fifties, and reeked of a foul stench.
"Indeed, could it be that this man took a fancy to Qiu Xiang and deliberately forced her?"
Xiao Siyue stood in front of the two and said, "Who are you? Why are you in the princess's residence? Confess honestly, or I'll beat you to death with sticks."
The man was startled and his body trembled violently.
"My lord, please spare me! Someone brought me in."
"What? Who brought you here?"
"I didn't know, but that man gave me silver and said that if I went to the room and ruined the woman's body, he would give me a large sum of money." The man regretted it very much. It was all his fault for being greedy and not being able to resist, which is why he agreed.
Xiao Siyue's eyes flickered slightly. The Fourth Princess was truly hateful; she actually hired a beggar to ruin her reputation.
"Second Princess, it seems this is a deliberate frame-up. I don't know who I've offended that would send someone to use such methods against me." Xiao Siyue looked at the Second Princess with cold eyes.
The second princess sighed inwardly; it seemed that this matter would not be so easily forgotten.
