Chapter 100 Death Penalty
"Isn't it just a maid~" Chu Qingyan sat down with her mother and acted coquettishly, "It's not worth it for my mother to be angry about a maid."
If it was a trivial matter in normal times, Chu Qingyan's coquettish behavior would be enough to succeed, but this time it didn't work.
Li Muhong pushed her away and stood up, just about to tell Qingyan Wanwei that she was her sister, her real sister!
But this sentence stopped abruptly before she was about to rush out. She couldn't believe Chu Qingyan.
Chu Qingyan has been with her father since she was a child, and naturally she would tell her father everything. If this matter was put in the past, Li Muhong was her only protective umbrella in the Chu family, but now the situation has changed. She wants to marry into the palace and become the queen of one person.
If the life experience of the young lady was exposed, then her little moves from many years ago would be revealed. Then she would be disliked by the master and died tragically in the room just like the second concubine of the Chu family. She could not do that.
"Qingyan, where is your upbringing?" Li Muhong cleared his throat and changed his face.
"Even if the Li family is not good now, they have had a royal background. Look at you who are a bitchy now, and if you still look like a lady from a family."
Qingyan remembers that Li Muhong often whispers from the royal family to the ancestor of the Li family, and Chu Qingyan's ears were filled with cocoons.
"You also say that Grandma is the royal prince. Grandma gave up the royal inheritance rights and married Grandma, and left the Da Shang and disappeared in front of the royal family. Who can still remember the events at that time? Although the Chu family is not as good as the royal relative, it is also the largest merchant in the imperial city. Mother should not be upset about the past."
Chu Qingyan didn't even think about being a royal princess. How could the royal princess be better than the ones who came from the Imperial City Emperor?
"Why did my mother protect Li Wanli in every way? She was just a servant? Shouldn't she pay her life if she killed A Yue?"
Li Muhong looked at Chu Qingyan's eyes, and his eyes became more calm than before, "Is it really the one she killed? Qingyan, mom knows that you are still kind in your heart. If you let go of the night, you will also let yourself go."
Li Wanli, from entering the door to now, is inseparable from Li Wanli. Chu Qingyan glanced slightly at her mother's extremely worried face. What kind of friendship does she have with Li Wanli help her like this?
The more this happens, the more annoyed Chu Qingyan is, "Mother, I am your daughter, why do you always think of her?"
"Qingyan..." Li Muhong wanted to continue saying some good things to persuade her.
He turned his back to Li Muhong and was still stubborn.
"My daughter has vowed to find out the murderer who killed A Yue, how can she let her go if she says she let her go! Doesn't her mother understand? She can't come up with evidence to prove that she is innocent now, so no one really cares whether she is really guilty. Everyone is waiting to see her head fall on her neck!"
“…”
In the middle of the night, Li Muhong stood alone in front of the windowsill. It was snowing outside again, and it was white. But she had no intention of enjoying the snow. If she could not prove her guilt tomorrow, she would be on the ground in the prison at noon.
Daughter, how should I save you, old man, please tell me...
"Madam, it's snowing outside and the window is cold. The county lord ordered me to take good care of you and don't catch the cold."
The maid walked into the door and saw this scene. She quickly stepped forward and closed the window. She touched the wife's hand, "Mrs.'s hand is so cold! I am just firing the stove. When the fire is fire, I won't feel cold~"
This time, the little maid sent by Chu Qingyan was very clever and worked smoothly. After a while, a small coal ball burned red in the house. "Madam, is it still warm?"
Li Muhong pulled the corner of his mouth sadly, "I feel cold, how can my body be hot?"
Li Wanxi, who rejected Li Muhong, was leaning against the cold black bricks at this time, and he let out a breath and wrapped it in his palms, relying on this small heating to provide for his hands and feet to stop being frozen.
Several people in the prison were gathering around a small coal ball stove to keep warm.
A man who was stolen rice turned around and glanced at Li Wanli curled up in a dark corner.
"Brothers, I heard that the one over there is a first-class Yinsui palace maid, and the first-class Yinsui from Tsinghua Palace, what did he do and was actually brought here?"
Another answer, "Isn't it true that I heard that someone was killed? This little girl doesn't admit that she killed her."
"Don't admit it yet? The boss ordered that he would be beheaded tomorrow..."
"Who Zhu Xinggong has evidence is still a sword stained with dead blood!"
People outside sang and reunite, although the distance was very far, every word was transmitted to Li Wanli's ears word by word.
Although she had the habit of recognizing beds and could have fallen asleep smoothly because she was so tired in the morning, she was pushed clean by the cold and felt sleepy.
It was so cold that she had never stayed in such a bad environment...
A small rice dumpling was wrapped in the grass dumpling. "Shen Muchen, you big bastard! Why haven't you come back yet..."
On that night, Li Wanli had a dream. In the dream, she groped the road ahead and walked step by step. There was a vast expanse of Liao Wuyan. She walked for a long time and could not get out of the fog until she heard a sound outside the fog.
The voice was filled with Li Wanli's name. The voice was very familiar. He smiled at Wanli with the jade pendant she gave him around his waist, "Who are you?" Wanli asked, he didn't say anything but just looked at her quietly.
"We will see you sooner or later." This is the last sentence left by the voice.
After this, a basin of cold water poured on its face, accompanied by a sharp and unpleasant voice, "Your Majesty summoned you, you are lucky!"
Wan Wei felt that she was dizzy and was pulled up in panic. She was taken to Zichen Palace with her bracelet and anklet.
There were several people sitting in the hall, including Shen Zitian Chu Qingyan and other eunuchs and maids.
The eunuch De, who was standing aside, saw Chu Qingyan winking at him and immediately cleared his throat and asked.
"Maid Li Wanli, what else do you have to defend yourself?"
Li Wanxu didn't say anything. She knew that she didn't speak enough. No one would believe that she was really innocent. She said this, "Since the county lord still insisted on his opinion that it was done by his servants, then he had nothing to say."
Shen Zitian sighed in a deep breath, "Very good, come here! Take the maid Li Wanxu to the execution ground and execute the death penalty immediately!"
"Yes!" The officers and soldiers standing by waiting came forward and pulled Wan Wei, who was powerless, up and dragged him out.
She no longer had the strength to resist too much and allowed herself to be dragged to the ground by the two people.
Buddha, if you wrote for me the fate, I must hope that I will escape from the sea of suffering and go to the Pure Land as soon as possible...
