red something and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yuge's arm: "Miss Xiao Er, you were there when the Crown Prince was assassinated, weren't you Did you see who it was"Xiao Yu's song shook her head: "At the tim..."My Lady, please forgive me! I did not! I didn't do anything!" An Ling knelt down, tears streaming down her face, pleading with innocence in her voice.

"You dare to say no I want you to go before the old master and madam right now and admit that everything is your doing, that you are the one who framed me!" Xiao Yufu, driven mad, tore at An Ling's hair like a lunatic.

"Young mistress! Young mistress!" Anling was so frightened that she trembled, clutching her hair tightly, but not daring to resist in the slightest.

"Even if you made An Ling confess everything to her parents right now, it wouldn't change anything!" Just then, the courtyard door opened and Chu Tianqi appeared at the entrance.

"Brother!" As soon as she saw Chu Tianqi, Xiao Yufu hurriedly pushed away An Ling, and ran towards Chu Tianqi like she had grabbed a life-saving straw, crying with pear blossoms and rain.

This time, Ke Chuantian didn't fall for her deception. Instead, he motioned An Ling to stay at the door because he wanted to confirm some things with Xiao Yufu next.

"Brother, don't you even believe me" Xiao Yufu saw Chu Tianqi's sullen face and quickly calculated in her heart how she could perform later to make him believe her.

“Fuller, from the time I came to this family, we’ve known each other for over ten years. From childhood to adulthood, no matter what I did, the first person I thought of was always you. Because I always felt that you, who are gentle and kind, need more protection than Geer, who is willful and strong. So every time I came back from a trip, I only remembered to buy your gifts. Every time you and Geer had a fight, I stood on your side. In my heart, you were like a flower that needs careful care, you deserve all the best. But now, I realize, I was wrong all along. You are no longer the Fuller I knew...” Chu Tianqi looked at the pitiful face in front of him, his heart ached. So kind, why is her heart so cruel

"Brother, what are you saying I've always been Fufu." Xiao Yufu felt a chill in her heart, but she still tried to act.

But Chu Tianqi remained unmoved. He slowly took out four iron nails from his body and placed them in front of her: “So tell me, what is this”

Xiao Yufu saw the four iron nails, her face immediately paled, and she lowered her head sheepishly: "Brother, these, these aren't iron nails, are they"

Chu Tianqi saw that she still didn't admit it, and nodded: "That's right, this is a nail. It was these nails that caused Ge'er to fall off the cliff and almost died there."

"Didn't the song say it all Was that an accident"

“Not an accident! You know, not an accident!” Chu Tianqi’s eyes were bloodshot, and he slammed his fist on the table: “Someone deliberately nailed iron nails into the horse's hooves and smeared a poison that could make horses go mad on top. That person is you! You made An Ling buy these nails, and then made An Ling bribe the coachman to take advantage of the opportunity to nail the nails onto the hooves of those two horses. Therefore, no matter which horse Ge’er chooses, the result will be the same.”

Xiao Yufu was shocked and horrified, but she still forced herself to remain calm, wanting to make one last struggle: "Brother, even if these nails caused Ge'er's misfortune, how can you be sure I ordered it I'm also very worried about Ge'er's accident, and I'm heartbroken too!"

"An Ling is right over there. Do you want me to call her over so you can confront her, or shall I take her to the Ministry of Justice There are plenty of tools there to make her tell the truth! You should be grateful that the Emperor entrusted this matter to me and Ning Feng to investigate. If it had been anyone else, you wouldn't be under house arrest now, you'd already be in the Ministry of Punishment's dungeon!"

Xiao Yufu was struck dumb, as if hit by lightning. Facing this undeniable truth, all her excuses were useless.

“Neither Ning Feng nor I could believe it. We’ve protected her from childhood to now, that Fei Er who wouldn't even hurt a butterfly, would be so cruel. Ge’er is our sister! Even if she wasn't blood related, she’s called you big sister for over ten years, how could you bear to do this”

"Brother, I..." Xiao Yufu's tears flowed down her face, she didn't know if it was because of fear or regret.

"Luckily, Ge'er is safe and sound. If anything had happened to her, how could you possibly face our parents who raised us" Chu Tianqi felt incredibly disappointed in her at this moment.

"Brother, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!" Xiao Yufu weighed the pros and cons in her heart, deciding to take another gamble for herself. She couldn't let this get out, or else, her identity, everything she had now, would all turn to dust.

“You finally admitted that it was all your doing!” Chu Tianqi trembled with anger, his heart feeling as if it had been ripped apart. All the beauty he once cherished now seemed like a phantom. Gritting his teeth, he picked up a nail from the table and turned to leave.

"Brother!" Unexpectedly, Xiao Yufu rushed over directly, kneeling in front of him with tears streaming down her face, clutching his tightly held hand: "Brother, please, don't tell father and mother about this. I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! I swear, I will never hurt Ge'er again!"

Chu Tianqi's tightly clenched hand trembled slightly. He was angry, but also hesitant. He looked up at the sky, painfully closed his eyes, and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he softened and released his grip: "Ning Feng and I will put this matter aside considering our years of brotherhood and sisterhood. I won't tell our parents either, but, Fu'er, this is the last time! If you dare to hurt Ge'er again, I won't let you go! Take care of yourself!"

After finishing his words, he forcefully pulled back his hand and walked out without looking back, leaving Xiao Yufu kneeling on the ground, crying loudly.

Chu Tianqi came outside, stared at the four iron nails in his hand for a while, and finally, with force, he threw them out. He glanced in the direction of Xiao Yuge's courtyard and decided to walk there.

"Miss, your hands are all red from pressing. Take a rest and we can finish later." Qing Luo said as she poured Xiao Yu Ge a cup of tea.

Ke Xiao's song continued to work, refusing to stop. "It's okay, this one is almost done too, and I can give it to my brother tomorrow."

"Every year, the young lady would personally make this knee warmer for the young master. When he wears it on his leg, it will definitely be very warm."

"My Song!"

At that moment, Chu Tianqi's voice came from behind.

"Brother!" Xiao Yu Ge lifted her eyes, gave him a sweet smile, then continued to lower her head, skillfully busy with the things in her hands.

"Ge'er, what are you doing" Chu Tianqi slowly came to her side, his eyes falling on the finished leg warmer. He was taken aback and hurriedly picked it up to have a look. It was exactly the same. Seeing Ge'er skillfully busy with another one in her hand, he asked tremblingly, "Ge'er, did you make this"ht, and he will definitely cherish you in the future.”Xiao Yufu, who had calmed down, seemed to understand: "But I just can't accept it. I just lost to that despicable Xiao Yuge!""My lady, you haven't...
