Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat! Chapter 509 - 22: The Cannon Fodder Vase in the Scheming Nov

Jiang Lai widened her eyes and looked at Chu Yunxuan, and said.

"Your Highness, you’ve lost my dowry, how can I trust you?"

"..."

At this mont, Chu Yunxuan suspected that Jiang Lai already knew where her dowry went, and was just deliberately reporting it to embarrass him!

Then Jiang Lai casually added another sentence.

"Your Highness, you entrusted the household affairs to . Now that this has happened, I feel guilty and uneasy, but I do have so clues. I suspect there’s a thief in our family."

As soon as she said this, Chu Yunxuan, like a cat with its paws burned, raised his voice sharply in response.

"Are you accusing of taking your dowry?!"

Jiang Lai resisted the urge to slap him and shook her head continuously.

"The True Dragon’s Son would never stoop to such lowly acts of theft and deceit, I trust Your Highness.

But with so many people in our courtyard, just because you wouldn’t do it doesn’t an others wouldn’t."

Chu Yunxuan’s face darkened.

"Then who do you suspect?"

"Today, I saw our family’s female doctor on the street. Didn’t you say she was an orphan with no family? But guess what I saw her doing on the street?

She was giving free consultations!"

"Free consultations are a good deed, why are you assuming such malice?"

The more guilty Chu Yunxuan felt, the louder his voice beca, trying to use his presence to suppress Jiang Lai.

But Jiang Lai paid him no mind.

"But she wasn’t just giving consultations, she was also giving away goods. I watched her give away a whole cart of dicinal herbs throughout the day.

Those herbs varied in quality but combined they were worth a fortune, extrely expensive. Where did she, an orphan with no background, get the silver to buy so many herbs?

So I believe she must have stolen the silver taels from my room!"

With reason and evidence, if Chu Yunxuan didn’t know he gave that money, he almost believed Jiang Lai’s words.

But she wasn’t completely wrong, after all, Zhao Ziyuan indeed used money from Jiang Lai’s dowry for her philanthropy.

He did take so, day after day, not expecting it to run out so soon!

He had planned to repay Jiang Lai after he ascended the throne, but now, with all her crying and shouting, he wouldn’t feel as guilty even after ascending!

"Stop crying! What do you want! Foolish suspicions, spreading family sha, didn’t your parents teach you not to air dirty laundry?"

Jiang Lai flicked her sleeve, looking completely on the verge of breaking down.

"I’m going to find that female doctor! I want her to explain to clearly!"

"No!"

Chu Yunxuan grabbed her.

This matter was already embarrassing enough, how much more chaos did she want to cause!

Jiang Lai seed montarily stunned, then stared at him.

"If you don’t let go, I’ll tell Lord Liu, or you help ask her to clearly explain where the donation money ca from!"

Chu Yunxuan frowned, filled with anger. Away from Jiang Lai, his ears finally got so peace, but the frustration still made him restless, feeling uneasy seeing anything. At the courtyard entrance, he couldn’t help but kick over a potted evergreen tree.

Zhao Ziyuan heard the commotion outside. Just as she stood up, she saw Chu Yunxuan’s darkened face walking in.

Seeing his expression, Zhao Ziyuan knew he had hit a wall at court again.

"What’s wrong? Is there trouble with the court affairs?"

This was their first eting since the cold war, Zhao Ziyuan’s attitude softened a bit, trying to break the ice first.

But the man before her still wore a cold face and, after entering, demanded harshly.

"Did you go to the free consultation today?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziyuan’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat, instinctively thinking he knew she secretly t Chu Yunci today.

But confirming Chu Yunxuan hadn’t witnessed it himself, she cald down and asked back.

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"Publicly giving away things on Crown Prince Street, what were you thinking? Such high-profile actions, what do you intend?!"

The inexplicable anger made Zhao Ziyuan’s own temper rise.

What’s wrong with her free consultations and donations?

Wasn’t it laying the groundwork for their future?

"What’s wrong with you?"

"From now on, don’t do anything, if anyone asks where the donation taels ca from, just say it was from , tell the truth."

Hearing this, Zhao Ziyuan was completely puzzled.

"What do you an?"

"I an, your public donations have caused big trouble, the only thing you can do is nothing, understand?!"

Chu Yunxuan’s attitude was anything but good, even quite irritable and impatient.

Zhao Ziyuan, having never been wronged like this, was both angry and aggrieved. In the end, she had to hold back her emotions and asked.

"What exactly happened?"

Chu Yunxuan slightly cald down and explained roughly.

"Jiang Lai saw it, and went back looking for her dowry, now it’s escalated to the governnt!"

"Can’t you just handle it, would the governnt dare to search our place?"

"It’s Liu Yi! Governor Liu Yi! Soone from Chu Yunci’s side! Just him, damned Jiang Lai, is she intentionally opposing !"

On the other side, Little Buding laughed heartlessly.

"Hahaha Jiang Lai, unfortunately, you can’t see, the two are arguing like cats with their tails stepped on, their relationship can’t withstand such turmoil!"

"Keep listening."

Little Buding held back laughter to continue listening, couldn’t help but mock.

"The female protagonist thinks fast, she suggests that if you die, the dowry issue will be left unresolved, Jiang Lai, you’re in danger."

"Hmm, expected, makes sense, go on."

It fits their characters.

"Zhao Ziyuan plans to tamper with your als, to end your miserable life early, to suppress the issue before it escalates, to preserve Chu Yunxuan’s reputation."

"If I die at this point, wouldn’t that be more suspicious? Together, they can’t co up with a plan, hey... boring."

"No, Chu Yunxuan has so brains, he also thought of this, his plan is to make you give up on your own, seems like he’ll have to use his charming skills on you."

Jiang Lai rolled her eyes.

She wasn’t interested in listening anymore.

This Chu Yunxuan was truly ruthless, embodying what it ant to be flexible, willing to sacrifice everything for his career.

Later that evening, Jiang Lai was ready to rest after washing up, but suddenly she heard footsteps outside.

Soon after, the door opened, and Chu Yunxuan’s tall figure appeared in Jiang Lai’s bedroom, his dark purple robe and handso face were indeed a bit pleasing to the eye.

Jiang Lai was sitting in front of the mirror drying her hair, when she saw this, her expression was evidently stunned.

"Why are you here?"

Chu Yunxuan slowly walked up, standing behind Jiang Lai, looking at the two of them in the mirror.
