Xia Chiwan didn't need to think that the royal family would lose all face because of this incident.
Regarding the royal scandal, there are many things that smart people can imagine.
But the smarter the person, the more he knows that this kind of thing can only be understood, never expressed in words.
Naturally, Xia Chiwan would not be so stupid as to slap the royal family in front of so many people.
"Seventh Emperor's Wife, if I admit my mistake correctly, she is your maid, right? Seventh Emperor's Wife, you may not be too harsh. Although she is just a slave, the royal family is naturally generous to others. This maid is sick, and so are you.
Shouldn't she go back to rest?"
Naturally, Xia Chiwan would not let the Seventh Princess go, and specifically named the Seventh Princess in front of everyone.
The Seventh Princess's heart twitched and she was so frightened that her voice was shaking when she replied:
"That's what Sister Changping said."
The Seventh Princess did not dare to say any more words besides this response.
Just because, at this time, too many words are wrong.
When panicked, people will inevitably say some unwise and irreversible things.
She has already told a lie about Yixiang.
If you continue telling this lie, it will really be impossible to get it right, and it will end up being full of mistakes.
"Princess Changping, you should thank the Seventh Prince's concubine and Mrs. Wei for your concern. Mrs. Wei was the first person besides me to find out that you were gone just now."
Li Xuzhi immediately found out Wei Qingqing, who had just pointed out that Xia Chiwan was not present.
Wei Qingqing was suddenly called by name and was also shocked.
From the moment Xia Chiwan appeared with Zhou Tianyao safe and sound, Wei Qingqing regretted it.
She should not have been bewitched by the Seventh Princess, blaming Princess Changping for Zhou Tianyao's death to please the Seventh Prince, and even used it to deal with Zhu Tingsi.
At this critical moment, the more you do, the better.
Only then did Wei Qingqing understand what self-defeating means.
Ji Ziyu is the seventh imperial concubine and the official wife of the seventh prince. They are husband and wife. For the sake of face, the seventh prince will keep Ziyu in mind.
But she is just a concubine.
If something happens to her, will the Seventh Prince protect her like he did with Ji Ziyu?
"I see, Chang Ping is here and I really want to thank Mrs. Wei for her concern."
Xia Chiwan looked at Wei Qingqing. It turned out that Wei Qingqing was responsible for today's events.
Obviously, the beauty of Zhu Tingsi and the Zhu family made Wei Qingqing feel embarrassed and jealous.
"Speaking of which, when I left the table, I didn't seem to see Mrs. Wei sitting down."
Xia Chiwan said something by the way and brought Wei Qingqing out.
Not everyone has the courage to take Zhou Tianyao out.
When she was following the Seventh Princess, that girl Yixiang followed behind her.
Therefore, Yi Xiang was absolutely incapable of doing anything at the same time. It was impossible for him to follow her and pick Zhou Tianyao out at the same time.
You know, when she was brought to the lake by Yixiang, she heard another woman's voice.
Xia Chiwan was not very familiar with Wei Qingqing, so he could only guess that the woman was Wei Qingqing.
After hearing Xia Chiwan's previous words, Wei Qingqing wanted to reply, "No thanks."
But when she heard Xia Chiwan's last words, Wei Qingqing found that her mouth was so dry that she couldn't make a sound.
Therefore, Wei Qingqing simply imitated the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Princess and did not speak.
Wei Qingqing's silence does not mean that others are fools, especially Zhu Tingsi herself.
