Xie Lingxi saw this scene and had a clear idea of the mastermind behind today's round. He glanced at Chen Caiwei coldly:
"Since your maid has committed a crime, then you will be sent to the government together."
According to Daxia law, if a slave commits a crime, his master will be interrogated.
Because ordinary slaves obey the orders of their masters.
If a slave does evil, the master is the first suspect.
Chen Caiwei swayed and almost fell to the ground. I didn't expect Xie Lingxi to be so cruel to her...
It was obvious that she had completely forgotten everything.
Xie Lingxi wants to send her to the official! There is no such truth!
Concubine Zhao stopped her and said, "No! Then the reputation of our Northern Palace will be completely ruined. It's too late to hide such a thing."
She didn't want her daughter-in-law to be poisoned and go to court, making the trouble known to the world.
Is she still shameless?
"It's not appropriate to send someone to an official." Concubine Xie shook her head, looked at Chen Caiwei and said:
"There is no need to investigate today's matter. Miss Chen, you have been fostered in the palace since you were a child. Now you have reached the age to leave the palace, but the palace cannot keep you for a lifetime and delay your good things. From now on, you will return to the Chen family to be married. .”
Chen Caiwei's face turned pale, "Grandma..."
"After all, I'm not your grandmother." Old Concubine Xie looked cold.
She likes Chen Caiwei very much, but only Xie Lingxi is the most important person to her, and no one can compare to Xie Lingxi.
"From now on, there is no need to invite those daughters who have an old relationship with the prince at the royal palace's banquets." Old Concubine Xie said again.
Mrs. Xie couldn't be sure who did it, but she could eliminate all risks.
Those outside are no longer invited, and those inside are chased away.
Chen Caiwei's face turned pale.
Despite all her calculations, she forgot that the Beiwang Mansion was not an official government and did not need evidence, as long as it was suspicious...
It’s impossible for the old concubine to keep you.
Xiao Tao may have been bribed, but it is also possible that the person who bribed her was Chen Caiwei.
The old lady doesn't need evidence or know the truth.
For those in power, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go.
"Grandma, what's going on?" Xie Ruojiao, who had just changed her clothes and finally calmed down, rushed over.
Chen Caiwei smiled bitterly, "I made an oversight during the banquet and harmed my eldest cousin. I have no shame to stay in the palace, so I went home..."
"You and I organized this banquet together. How can we blame you alone?" Xie Ruojiao became anxious and looked at Old Concubine Xie:
"Grandma, don't drive my cousin away. If my cousin leaves, I will leave too!"
Mrs. Xie frowned.
Chen Caiwei grabbed her hand, tears streaming down her face, "Cousin, I wish you could come to the Chen family to visit me from time to time..."
"Grandma, my cousin's father died in the war, and her mother is gone too. When she returns to the Chen family, she won't have any relatives. Only we are her relatives!" Xie Ruojiao knelt down and begged for mercy.
This is the reason why Chen Caiwei was raised in the palace since childhood.
Her father went on an expedition with the Northern King and died in battle. Her mother died in childbirth, so she was entrusted to her aunt, Princess Chen, early on.
The old concubine expressed her gratitude to the Chen brothers and sisters for their hard work and contribution to the Xie family, and treated the only remaining Chen Caiwei like a granddaughter.
Bring up these old things.
Concubine Xie also looked a little disappointed. When people get old, they miss the past. The Chen family has been the general of the Xie family for generations, and the two families have a deep friendship.
"My cousin saved my life, I won't allow my cousin to leave!" Xie Ruojiao hugged Chen Caiwei and wouldn't let go.
When she was a child, Xie Ruojiao fell into a pond, and it was Chen Caiwei who saved her.
But Xie Ruojiao doesn’t know…
The slippery stones by the pond were placed by Chen Caiwei on purpose.
Concubine Xie couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Chen Caiwei did save Ruojiao, and there was no evidence that she was the first to kill the person. Privately, the old concubine did not want to doubt Chen Caiwei.
