One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

The cyan sparrow immediately stepped forward to protect Shen Ninghua, its sharp eyes staring at the lady who was glaring at it with hatred.

That woman was the second prince's consort, the Zhou family's mother, the Qin family. The reason she was able to establish herself in the Zhou family was mostly because she had given birth to a daughter, the Zhou family.

The Qin family was supported by two maidservants, they seemed to be in so much grief that they were unable to straighten their waists, "My bitter daughter, she was framed and has nowhere to declare her grievances. It's all mother's fault, your mother's useless. The person who caused you to die was in a high position, and Mother has no way to avenge you …"

Née Qin cried as she spoke, just like a shrew in the city. The surrounding officials and wives came to pay their respects, but at this time, no one dared to say a word.

Seeing this scene, Shen Ninghua's heart turned cold. "Madam Qin, your daughter is a princess, and the crime of murdering the Imperial Family involves nine families. You can eat whatever you want, but you can't speak carelessly.

"I've already said that Princess Guanghua's words are plausible, but I didn't believe them in the past. Now that I've finally believed them, you can rest assured that I won't let the murderer get away with it, and even more so, I won't wrongly accuse a good person. Whoever harmed my daughter, I will definitely seek justice for her!"

"This princess will wait to see how you seek justice." After Shen Ninghua finished speaking, she walked straight into the Second Prince's Mansion. It seemed like there was no way to resolve the situation today. Since that was the case, she would take a good look at the people behind this.

Qin Shi let out a loud snort. The hatred in her eyes was so thick that it could surge out. She glared fiercely at Shen Ninghua after she entered the yard, then turned around and ran towards the palace.

Seeing Shen Ninghua coming over, Baili Jin Chuan got up and said, "Ninghua, you're here."

Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes and did not express anything. All she said was, "My condolences, Prefecture Lord."

Baili JinChuan's eyes narrowed, a trace of anger flashed through them, but it quickly calmed down. He spoke with a stiff tone, "Yes, you can help the Zhou family burn the incense."

When she stuck the incense into the incense burner in front of her, the little girl who was kneeling on the ground suddenly stood up, grabbed Shen Ninghua's clothes and pulled with all her might, "You bad woman, you caused my mother's death, you're a bad person. Scram, you're not allowed to pay respects to my mother!"

"Yue'er, let go!" Baili JinChuan stood up abruptly, frowning as he shouted coldly.

The little girl cried so much that her face was covered in tears. She trembled in fright from the scolding but refused to let go. Shen Ninghua squatted down and calmly looked at the little girl who was covered in grief and asked, "You're called Yue'er?"

"You are not allowed to call me by my name. Yue Er is only allowed to call me by mother."

Shen Ninghua tidied up her mourning dress. "If I had the ability to kill your mother, I'd be able to easily kill you for being so rude to me. Don't you think you're being too reckless?"

"You …" The little girl was shocked by her tone, and her fingers unconsciously relaxed.

"Before you do anything, think about the consequences. You should be five years old, and you should know how to distinguish between right and wrong. If I were you, I would definitely go find the person who provoked you for being rude to me, because she is the worst person."

"You … "Why do you say that?"

Shen Ninghua slightly snorted, "Isn't that obvious?" Did you see me kill your mother? No, then how can you be sure that I killed your mother? However, the person who instigated you from behind said that with confidence, and even made you do such a disrespectful action, if I were a petty person or have a malicious heart, you would be punished by your father right now. "

The little girl trembled and turned to look at Baili JinChuan, "Father, Yue'er knows her wrongs, wuwu …"

Baili JinChuan got the maid to carry the little girl away. He stared at Shen Ninghua and said, "Ninghua, you're very good at teaching your child."

Shen Ninghua pursed her lips, ridicule written all over her face. "I have no interest in teaching other people's children." Baili JinChuan still hadn't given up on the idea of marrying her.

It was as if Baili JinChuan didn't hear Shen Ninghua's discontent, "Because the Zhou family's matter involves you. I'm really sorry. Don't worry, I'll definitely think of a way to deal with it."

"I hope that the Duke of the County will handle this matter seriously. Otherwise, I need to come up with some way to correct my name."

Looking at the serious expression on Baili JinChuan's face, Shen Ninghua felt a chill run down his spine. He actually chose to give up on Madame Zhou at the final moment. Could it be that he didn't consider his two children? In the imperial family, a child without a mother's protection was a hundred times more difficult to handle with every step. Was he not afraid that the two children would hate him when they grew up?

If Shen Ninghua could be a few years older and Second Brother had not taken a wife, the two of them could be considered a match made in heaven. But from the looks of it, they were not enemies, and that was already considered fortunate. What was Second Brother's plan? Was he really going to watch Shen Ninghua's reputation be ruined?

"Xiao Hua, you came. I'll take you to the backyard."

"Thank you, Princess."

Shen Ninghua no longer looked at Baili JinChuan. She got up and followed behind him. Before she had taken a few steps, the attendant had already entered, "The imperial edict has arrived!"

An imperial edict? The imperial edict was coming at this time?

After hearing the contents of the imperial edict, everyone who came to attend the funeral was stunned.

The Zhou family's birth mother, the Qin family, had gone to the Imperial Palace to report Princess Zhao Hua's murder of the second prince's consort!

The attendant placed the imperial edict in his hand. "Crown Prince De, Princess Zhao Hua, the Emperor requests your presence."

Shen Ninghua expressionlessly stood up and followed the waiter out. Baili An anxiously pinched the handkerchief in his palm, "Second brother, Xiao Ning Hua, she …"

Née Qin collapsed to the ground in tears. Her voice was filled with grief. "Your Majesty, please uphold justice for this servant."

A ravine formed between Baili Qingfeng's eyebrows. With a pair of sharp eyes shining, he said, "You said that Shen Ninghua caused the death of the Zhou family, so that they can plan out the position of the Second Prince's consort?"

Yes, Your Majesty, please make it clear that many commoners in the capital have seen Shen Ninghua head over to the Second Prince's estate that day, and the Emperor can find anyone to ask. After arriving at the Second Prince's estate, Shen Ninghua was alone with the Second Prince's consort for as long as an hour, and not long after that, the news of the Second Prince's death spread.

Baili Jinchuan lowered his eyes, "You have a witness?"

"That's right, the second prince's consort's maid, Peach Blossom, can be righted." The Qin family suddenly kneeled down and said with a firm tone.

When Shen Ninghua entered the reception hall, Baili Jinchuan was about to send someone to escort Peach Blossom.

"Greetings royal father. Long live, long live, long live the Emperor."

"Hm, rise." Baili JinChuan looked at Shen Ninghua, who was standing at the bottom of the steps, and sighed in his heart. This little girl was the same as her mother; no matter how big of an incident she had encountered, the expression on her face would not change.

"Ning Hua, the Qin family has witnesses to prove that you killed the Zhou family. Do you have anything to say?"

Shen Ninghua looked up, his expression haughty and disdainful, "Reporting to Imperial Father, Ninghua also wants to see how many people actually want to frame me."

"framing?" née Qin sneered, "Princess, don't you see that coffin and don't cry. Whether we framed you or not, it's best to be generous and admit it."

Shen Ninghua scolded him coldly, "Madam Qin, the emperor hasn't spoken yet. Don't snatch the opportunity away. Let the witness you mentioned come up."

Peach Blossom was the Zhou Dufu's servant girl, as well as her trusted aide. She often followed Madame Zhou into the palace, and when she entered, she knelt at the entrance and kowtowed to pay her respects.

Baili Qing Cang waved his hand, interrupting her, "Alright, there's no need to bow. I'm asking you, the Qin family said that you can prove that it was Princess Zhao Hua who killed Zhou, right?"

Peach Blossom raised her head to look at the Qin family. Her eyes trembled slightly, and if one were to carefully look at her words, they would discover that she carried a panicked aura. "Reporting to the emperor, this servant has indeed seen Princess Zhao Hua's evil scheme against the second prince's consort."

"Oh, what did you see?"

"Reporting to the emperor, this servant does not dare to hide anything. The second prince's consort had long noticed that the second prince's thoughts about Princess Radiant were unusual, and had also interacted with the second prince many times, hoping that the second prince would give up on his thoughts. After all, the emperor has already accepted Princess Zhao Hua as his adopted daughter, so how could something like this happen to the royal family?"

Brother and sister chaos? Hearing this, Shen Ninghua almost sneered. The person behind this was really a schemer. Not only did he want to take her life, he also wanted to use this matter to completely destroy Baili JinChuan!

Baili JinChuan was also bewildered, he was already secretly considering which brother had set him up.

As expected, upon hearing those words, Baili Qingfeng's expression turned cold: "What else? Say it all at once! "

"Yes, yes," Peach Blossom broke out in a cold sweat, "That day, the Second Prince's consort felt unwell and her attitude wasn't very good. The Second Prince had completely lost all patience after hearing her words and left right after slamming the door. However, she didn't expect that the Second Prince's consort would only express such thoughts. Thus, Princess Zhao Hua started to drug the Second Prince's consort. Not long after, the second prince's consort choked on her words and died. At that time, this servant was in the cabinet preparing medicine and was completely scared silly when she saw this scene. It was only when the second prince announced that the second prince's consort had passed away that she hurriedly escaped from the cabinet. "

Shen Ninghua could no longer hold back her laughter. She waited until the people in the main hall had their gazes on her before she opened her mouth and said, "Heh, I hope Imperial Father does not blame me for this. This son has never heard such a clumsy lie before. I really can't hold back the laughter in my heart."
