Chapter 27: The evidence is here
Not to mention Princess Liao and Mrs. Liao, even Xin Nian was shocked: She had expected the reactions from all parties when this matter developed so far. Even Princess Liao would definitely criticize her, and she was mentally prepared.
The physical pain was nothing. If she really got beaten, she would be able to show off in front of Gu Changting and pave the way for the future.
In short, since she got this opportunity, she must take advantage of every aspect and squeeze out all the value. The more she pays, the greater the harvest will be.
However, the only thing she didn't expect was that the concubine, who had always spent her old age in Shouning Palace, would actually get involved.
The concubine is obviously here to deal with Princess Liao. If it is against herself, Princess Liao is enough, and there is no need for her to take action personally.
For a moment, Xin Nian's mind was spinning. She remembered that the princess and the queen mother were both from the Liao family. The princess would probably not like this daughter-in-law. However, the Liao family was so powerful that the princess had to tolerate it, but if
There is a reason, I think her old man would not mind taking the opportunity to hit the princess.
After thinking about it for a while, Princess Liao and others had already greeted her. Xin Nian was about to stand up, but after thinking about it, he retracted his raised body and quietly moved aside, still kneeling there.
Sure enough, as soon as the concubine entered the door, she looked at her in surprise and said: "What do you mean? I also mentioned your territory, but you didn't go out to meet me? It turns out that you are kneeling here. What's wrong with this? And in the yard
Those slaves, I just have nothing to do, I want to stretch my muscles and take a look at my two children, but I didn't expect your place to be so lively."
This is just telling lies. The concubine wants to take care of the child, so there is no need to come here in person? Just send someone to give the order and they will be taken over immediately.
But who dares to expose it? Princess Liao lowered her head, and finally suppressed the anger in her eyes, and regained her calm face. Then she heard Xin Nian say in a deep voice: "In reply to the concubine, I have made the princess and grandma angry, so
I knelt down to apologize, but I didn’t dare to get up without instructions, and I hope the concubine will forgive me.”
Princess Liao:......
Liao:……
The concubine then looked at Princess Liao and said calmly: "Is there anything you can't talk about? She will be punished by kneeling down at every turn. Now that I'm here, how about the princess being accommodating and telling her to get up? It's really an unpardonable crime, so I can tolerate it.
She is not allowed to be presumptuous."
Princess Liao's face turned red and she quickly lowered her head and said, "What did the concubine say? I also said something to her angrily. I didn't expect that this child was so sincere and kept kneeling. I don't know, she thought I was
She is an evil mother-in-law."
The concubine smiled slightly, and Mrs. Qin beside her helped her to the main seat and sat down. Then she glanced at Mrs. Liao casually and said lightly: "Although General Xin is in trouble, the family tradition of the Xin family has always been rigorous.
, Doesn’t this kid only know how sincere he is?”
"It's a bit surprising indeed."
The princess gritted her teeth and could only swallow her blood, and sat down opposite the concubine. She knew that today's matter was out of control, and it would be a bit embarrassing for her to be slapped in the face by the concubine and the Xin family together.
As soon as he thought of this, he glanced at Mrs. Qin seriously, but saw her standing next to the concubine, looking at Xin Nian with a look of concern.
She was indeed the devil. The princess' face darkened, and then she heard the concubine wonder: "What are you doing in this yard? Why are there so many slaves kneeling on their knees?"
The boss personally opened his mouth to give you a chance to defend yourself. Should you seize it quickly? So Xin Nian immediately stepped forward and explained the matter in detail.
Just listen to the concubine mutter: "I see. Alas! I often hear that in other noble houses, because the master is merciful, he does not want to indulge the slaves and become powerful. Don't underestimate this and think that the slaves can What kind of waves are they making? But I don’t know that the right and wrong of this talk is second to none. The most hateful thing is the carelessness of gambling, eating and drinking. There are mistakes everywhere, laying hidden dangers, and I don’t know when it will lead to a catastrophe. What’s more? Or, no matter how powerful those slaves get, they will steal things and bully their masters. If this evil trend is not stopped in time, who knows what will happen in the future? Today is a poisonous snake, and tomorrow will be the best if you can't protect it. Let the thieves in."
When the concubine said this, who dared to refute it? The princess could only promise.
At this time, I heard Xin Nian say: "To report to the concubine, the princess, I also considered this, so I didn't let go of any clues when I asked. Only then did I know that these slaves were of low status but had bad deeds. That's why I ordered people to search for them." to their residence.”
Having said this, he turned back and told Xinghua: "Have someone bring up all the things you found."
"yes."
Xinghua agreed and waved her hand, and soon several women came in carrying two large wooden boxes.
The concubine and others looked over and saw that the two wooden boxes were divided into more than thirty grids, and each grid contained several items.
Mr. Liao only took one look, then took a breath of cold air, and felt that his eyes went black for a while.
Sure enough, the next moment Xinghua pointed to the first grid and said: "These are the things that were found in Sang's mother's room last night. Please take a look at it, Princess Taifei. There are three kinds of gambling equipment, Pai Gow, dice, horse cranes, There are also more than a dozen jars of good wine in her house, which takes up a lot of space, so she didn’t bring them in and kept them outside the courtyard. There are also more than a dozen dollars that are suspected to be gambling funds..."
The concubine and Princess Liao looked livid.
Xinghua pointed to another grid and continued: "These are the things in Mother Fang's house. Someone came out to expose them and said that three of the gold jewelry were stolen from Aunt Qin and the third girl's house. They haven't had time to verify it yet. ."
Aunt Qin is the concubine of Prince Duan, and the third girl is her daughter. Mother and daughter are afraid of Princess Liao and do not go out easily. They are like transparent people in the palace.
Xin Nian looked at Princess Liao with the corner of her eye. It was rare to see the corner of the princess's mouth twitching: Aunt Qin and the third girl were of low status. There were gold jewelry in the house. Needless to say, it was naturally given by Prince Duan. This shows that Aunt Qin Although his status is humble, he is still favored in front of the prince.
Ms. Liao's mind was spinning fast and she immediately came up with a way to deal with it. However, before she could speak, Fang's mother, feeling guilty and frightened, had already shouted: "I'm wronged, that's not Aunt Qin's jewelry, it's the jewelry of the old slave." I beat it and prepared it for my daughter to wear."
"For your daughter?" A smile flashed across Xin Nian's face: "Can your daughter wear this jewelry?"
Mother Fang's face turned red. The plum-blossom gold hairpin was inlaid with a pearl as big as the belly of her finger. It was not jewelry that a slave woman could wear. She was busy and changed her words: "Old slave... I want to give it away... "
"That's enough."
