When Ye Jiu woke up again, it was already past 9 o’clock the next day.

She heard the hustle and bustle outside, so she walked out of the room to take a look.

She saw Zi Xi kneeling in the living room and Old Madam Chu sitting in front of her.

In the living room, the masters of the Chu family and the servants were standing everywhere, as if something big had happened.

Ye Jiu put on a coat and walked out. She stood on the second floor and looked at the people in the living room.

Zi Xi kept sobbing as if she had been wronged.

There was a suitcase next to her. It seemed like she was scolded by Nanny Li yesterday and was preparing to leave the Chu family today.

“You said… you have something to say. Now that the Old Madam Chu is here, you can say out whatever you have something to say!” Nanny Li glared at Zi Xi.

This girl came to her room early in the morning and was pounding on the door and crying.

She insisted on asking Old Madam Chu to come out and uphold justice.

Nanny Li originally did not plan to disturb Old Madam Chu with this matter and had planned to send her away.

No one knew which blabbermouth brought this matter to Old Madam Chu.

Now that Old Madam Chu came out, everyone else in the family came.

Zi Xi knelt in front of the Old Madam Chu and wept. “Old Madam Chu, I… I was framed!”

“Framed?” Nanny Li stared at her in disbelief and asked coldly, “Who framed you? Me?”

“No, Nanny Li is very good to us! It’s not her!” Zi Xi said as if she had really been wronged.

“You said someone framed you. What happened? Who Is It?” A male voice urged. “Tell us quickly.”

Zi Xi gritted her teeth and shrunk her neck timidly. “I… I don’t dare to say it!”

“Old Madam Chu is here. What do you have to be afraid of!” The voice continued to agitate.

“Can Old Madam Chu guarantee that I won’t be kicked out of the Chu Family?” Zi Xi raised her head and looked pitifully at Old Madam Chu.

“After all, I was kicked out because of this matter…” Zi Xi did not forget to add softly.

“Tell me first, I want to hear it.” Since old Madam Chu was able to hold on to her position as the family head, she was naturally not an easy person to deal with.

She did not promise Zi Xi anything and only asked her to clarify the matter first.

“It’s like this…” Zi Xi gritted her teeth and said, “I saw two people under the parasol tree in the middle of the night yesterday…”

As Zi Xi said this, her voice was timid as she looked around.

“In the middle of the night? Who would go under the parasol tree? “Hearing Zi Xi’s words, a few people couldn’t help but start discussing.

“Actually, it’s not the first time I’ve bumped into them…” Zi Xi continued.

“I didn’t pay much attention to it before. I was just wondering why someone would go there in the middle of the night…” The more Zi Xi said, the more mysterious it seemed.

“What were the two people you saw doing?” Someone immediately cut to the point and asked.

“That… I can’t say…” Zi Xi looked a little shy.

Anyone who saw Zi Xi’s look could imagine the relationship between the two people under the parasol tree..

“Then why are you talking about them?” Someone followed up with a question.

Zi Xi nodded, feeling wronged. “I found out about someone else’s scandal, so that person wanted to get rid of me…”

After Zi Xi said that, tears flowed down her face.

“Tell me, who did you see?” Someone hurried her.

“I… I don’t dare to say…” With a kick at the door, Zi Xi seemed to hesitate again.

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Someone lamented. “You’re about to be chased away, do you still want to cover up their scandal?”

Zi Xi seemed to have finally made up her mind.

She gritted her teeth and said, “I saw Miss Ye under the parasol tree that day!”

Once Zi Xi said this, the surroundings immediately went into an uproar.

Old Madam Chu’s brows were tightly knitted together, and she seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied.

Zi Xi’s heart trembled. She was worried that if she did not use this desperate move of hers properly, she would really be done for…

However, the knife was already at her neck, so she had no choice but to continue…

“I thought that Miss Ye just liked the parasol tree and went there as usual…” Zi Xi continued.

“I was going to go up and say hello to her. It was late at night and it was too cold outside, so I asked her to go back earlier…” As Zi Xi said that, she glanced at Ye Jiu’s room upstairs.

“Who knew? I just took a few steps when I saw a man coming out from behind the parasol tree!” Zi Xi’s tone suddenly became a little higher.

“Who was that man?” Old Madam Chu asked calmly…
