Chapter 252 Discovered (11)
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Shuyi broke out in a cold sweat.
Could it be that Nie Qingxue really fell and became stupid?
When Nie Qingyuan heard Nie Qingxue say this, he was also stunned, "Nannan, why did you suddenly say that?"
Nie Huaili, who was hiding behind Chen Shuyi, was overjoyed when she heard Nie Qingxue say this. At the same time, she was also cursing Nie Qingxue in her heart, hoping that she would really break her brain.
Nie Qingxue glanced at the rattan chair next to Chen Shuyi. This rattan chair was exactly the same as the one in her yard.
These rattan chairs were originally a pair, made by her mother herself when she was young. Now they have been separated into two, which is really great.
"Daddy, His Royal Highness Prince Duan and I have been engaged since we were young, but I know that His Royal Highness Prince Duan has never had me in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have done something that brought shame to our family with Huaili at my coming-of-age ceremony." Nie Qingxue mentioned this matter again, causing everyone present to change their expressions.
Especially Nie Huaili, she didn't know why Nie Qingxue mentioned this matter again, but she knew that Nie Qingxue definitely had no good intentions.
"I can forgive Huaili for all of this. She is my sister after all. As the eldest sister, I naturally have to take good care of her. Since His Royal Highness Prince Duan and Huaili are in love with each other, I will also help them." Nie Qingxue curled her lips and smiled softly. She looked at Nie Huaili, and the jealousy in the other's eyes was too much to hide, and Nie Qingxue saw it clearly. "What do you think, my dear sister?"
"That's absolutely not possible!" Chen Shuyi knew that Nie Qingxue would not be so kind, and she subconsciously retorted.
"Then I'll ask Aunt Chen, who in this capital city would marry a young lady with a bad reputation?" Nie Qingxue's beautiful eyes were like winter snow, chilling one's heart. As she spoke, she clapped her hands, "Caiju, Dongmei, bring the rattan chair over. I've been standing and talking for so long, I'm tired."
Now it was completely Nie Qingxue's home turf. When Caiju and Dongmei went to move the rattan chairs, Chen Shuyi didn't say much. Her words just now had stumped Aunt Chen and also made Nie Xuanyuan really notice this point.
Previously, Aunt Chen had deliberately downplayed the relationship between Nie Huaili and Prince Duan in front of Nie Xuanyuan, putting all the blame on Tu Weizhi. Therefore, Nie Xuanyuan had always believed that Prince Duan Tu Weizhi wanted to marry his two daughters and would do anything to achieve this.
Suffering from the royal majesty, Nie Xuanyuan has always suppressed this matter, and is even willing to let the Nie family's reputation become bad.
But today Nie Qingxue actually said that Tu Weizhi and Nie Huaili were in love with each other...
"Nannan, how did you know that Li'er and His Royal Highness Prince Duan were in love with each other?" Nie Xuanyuan looked at Nie Qingxue who was sitting on the rattan chair and asked her in a gentle voice.
"Send someone to search Huaili's room, and you'll know." Nie Qingxue knew very well that Tu Weizhi had taken a fancy to Nie Huaili since the first time he came to the Nie Mansion.
The two of them are birds of a feather, both of them are evil-minded people.
Over the years, Nie Huaili has deliberately shown off the things Tu Weizhi gave her in front of her many times.
Nie Qingxue knew all of this.
Hearing this, Nie Huaili's face turned pale instantly. She clenched Chen Shuyi's arms with both hands and said in a trembling voice, "Sister, why do you treat Li'er like this? Sister, you really are still dissatisfied with Li'er, right?"
"Sister, why would you think so? If I were dissatisfied with you, I would not let you and Aunt Chen live in the Nie Mansion. This Nie Mansion was built with the help of my mother. Without my mother, you would not be able to enjoy such a wealthy life. Besides, I am the daughter of a princess, and I have been very generous to you." Every word of Nie Qingxue was like a pearl, and her words were like a knife that pierced Nie Huaili's heart.
This is something that Nie Huaili has always been worried about. She was born out of wedlock and is inferior to Nie Qingxue.
Nie Huaili pursed his lips and looked at Nie Qianyuan with a pitiful expression, "Daddy, is my sister crazy? Li'er would never say such outrageous words."
Nie Qianyuan became serious after she mentioned this, "Nannan, Daddy knows you are angry, but Li'er is your biological sister after all."
"Yes, dear sister, that's why I said I would grant her wish." Nie Qingxue pursed her lips and chuckled, her eyes falling on Nie Huaili. "Sister, if you admit that you like His Royal Highness Prince Duan, then I won't let anyone search your boudoir. If you don't like His Royal Highness Prince Duan, then I have chosen another good man for you."
"Qingxue, your sister Li'er is still young. Besides, you haven't gotten married yet. Why do you let your sister Li'er get married first?" Aunt Chen smiled. Her hand covered the back of Nie Huaili's hand, silently soothing Nie Huaili's nervous mood.
At the same time, Chen Shuyi looked at Nie Qianyuan, hoping that he could speak for her.
But Nie Xuanyuan made his attitude clear. He wanted to hear how Nie Huaili would answer Nie Qingxue's question and ignored Chen Shuyi's expression.
"Qingxue, you even asked people to search Li'er's bedroom. How can this be allowed! Well, you are injured too. Go back and take medicine quickly." Chen Shuyi said with a smile, but a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes.
"Mrs. Chen, I haven't found fault with you for pushing me. Don't be impatient." Nie Qingxue smiled. She raised her hand and pointed at Xia Qing, who had been kneeling on the ground. "Xia Qing, why don't you tell me what's in the Second Young Lady's room?"
Xia Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly looked up. She saw Chen Shuyi and Nie Huaili staring at her with unfriendly eyes, and then she saw Nie Qianyuan also looking at her.
"Your servant... Your servant..." Xia Qing didn't know why Nie Qingxue suddenly asked her a question. This was practically forcing her to make a choice. She only told Nie Qingxue that when she got up to go to the toilet at night, she saw someone else in the second lady's room. As for who it was, she planned to wait until the eldest lady was able to bail her out before telling her.
The eldest lady had clearly promised her that after they had discussed the plan, she would let her come forward as a witness to testify about the second lady's secret meeting with a man in the middle of the night.
Now asking her to reveal the second lady's secret so suddenly, this...
Xia Qing thought again: If she concealed Nie Huaili's secret, Aunt Chen and the Second Young Lady would kill her to silence her, and she wouldn't survive today. But if she told them, she might still have a chance of survival.
"Xia Qing! You'd better think about it before you speak!" Chen Shuyi suddenly said in a stern voice.
Xia Qing's body shuddered violently, her lips trembling. She steeled her heart and decided to tell everyone loudly, "The Second Miss has His Royal Highness Prince Duan's underwear and handkerchief hidden in her room! Furthermore, I saw His Royal Highness Prince Duan climb into the Second Miss's bedroom through the window a few nights ago!"
