Chapter 174 Find the evidence, slap the white lotus in the face
Lin Wanyue felt nervous.
Men love face most, especially Xiao Tingjun, who has always been very proud. If she is humiliated here today, Bao Buqi will feel disgusted with her. How can she use his hand to deal with Xiao Weijing and Shen Ning in the future?
"At that time, I thought that the princess did not have medical skills, and was afraid of delaying the emperor's uncle's condition, so I had no choice but to stop it."
Lin Wanyue said softly, "Uncle, I apologize to you for my ignorance. Fortunately, the princess has good medical skills. Otherwise, if you had an accident, Wanyue would definitely be blamed for your death."
"Do you think?" Xiao Yunqi asked coldly, "The prince is guilty of breaking the law just like the common people, so just saying 'do you think' can erase your arrogance of not understanding the ethics of honor and inferiority?
Furthermore, you are only the concubine of the Minister of War, so what qualifications do you have to be called the same title as the prince, and you respect me as the emperor's uncle on the pretext of getting married, you can see that this is a disrespectful transgression!"
Lin Wanyue's face turned blue and she quickly knelt down on her knees, "My lord, please forgive me, but the daughter of the people deserves to die."
Xiaoting County was shocked. The emperor's uncle was gentle and honest by nature, with a generous heart and a benevolent heart. He often helped the people. Even when he encountered rude and rude people, he not only did not care about them but was willing to help others. People often thanked him for his good deeds and would call him the emperor's uncle affectionately. He never corrected it.
Why was the emperor's uncle so aggressive when it was Lin Wanyue's turn?
Because of Shen Ning, he was venting his anger on her behalf!
Xiaoting County weighed how to deal with the previous situation.
He must capture Lin Wanyue, and at the same time, he must not offend the emperor's uncle.
The emperor's uncle is physically weak but is as wealthy as the country. Now the princes are fighting openly and covertly. He needs to cultivate power and win over officials. All these require money, and the emperor's most indispensable thing is money.
He took several opportunities to get closer, but unfortunately the emperor's uncle was lukewarm and kept his distance from everyone.
But now that he owes Princess Jin a favor, King Jin will take the opportunity to win over her. This is not good news.
The more Xiaoting County thought about it, the more anxious he became. He never expected that Lin Wanyue would cause such a big thing.
Before he could think of a solution, all the waiters from Ruyizhai had arrived, about ten in total, and even Sasou was called over.
If you don't normally lose your temper, losing your temper will be particularly scary.
Everyone was standing, except Lin Wanyue who was always kneeling.
Xiao Tingjun wanted to find an opportunity to intercede for her, but Xiao Tingjun looked solemn and exuded an undeniable aura.
Such an uncle was too unfamiliar, and he was worried that he would offend if he spoke rashly and push him towards other princes.
Furthermore, Xiao Junjun knew very well that if he displeased his uncle, his father would severely punish him, fearing that others would follow suit.
It was the lesser of two evils. Xiaoting County would rather make Lin Wanyue unhappy than offend the emperor's uncle. After all, she was kicked out of Prince Jin's Mansion. She had no better choice but to comfort her afterwards.
Since she chose to help him, she must be mentally prepared for this.
Faced with the helpless look she cast, Xiao Tingjun chose not to see it.
Xiao Yun Qi Qingfeng Liangyue, his calm and powerful gaze fell on the waiters, "You were all in the store just now, but did anyone see how the glass vase was broken?"
Ruyi Pavilion is very large and each area is separated. Shopkeeper Fang personally received Shen Ning while everyone else was busy with their own work.
Hongxiu secretly sneered. Lin Wanyue was pretending to be powerful. After all, she was dealing with Princess Jin, so she would definitely avoid being noticed when she attacked.
Besides, even if someone sees it, as long as his mind is not caught by the door, he will choose to remain silent. As long as he doesn't speak, who knows? Who would be stupid enough to offend the future king.
"Your Majesty." A young man of medium height stood up.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats instantly, wondering what shocking words he would say.
The waiter lowered his head slightly and said, "Just now, a customer accidentally spilled some tea when he was choosing jade. The shopkeeper asked me to clean it up because he was worried about it slipping.
When I finished cleaning up the water stains and stood up, I saw this girl reaching out and patting Princess Jin, and the glass vase fell down."
"You're lying." The master couldn't speak, so Hongxiu questioned him on his behalf, "Since you saw it, why didn't you stand up just now?"
The waiter's expression was complicated, "The customer is either rich or expensive. This has happened to me before. A waiter stood up and told the truth, but in the end he was slapped by the customer.
I am just an ordinary person. My family supports me with my wages. I dare not offend the customers who come into the store. I have no choice but to keep silent. But I didn’t expect that the matter would become so big and affect the reputation of the store. I really don’t dare to do it again.
hide."
Hongxiu vomited blood, "..."
Lin Wanyue's face turned gloomy, "..."
Xiao Tingjun thought for a moment, "I wonder where you wiped the water?"
Seeing his suspicion, King Pingnan decided to restore the scene.
The jade cabinet is on the right side of the entrance. There is water stain near the door that has not completely dried.
Because they were blocked by the pillar, Hong Xiu and Lin Wanyue did not notice the sweeper, but from where he stood they could see Lin Wanyue's actions clearly.
Thinking of being embarrassed in front of His Majesty the Crown Prince, Hong Xiu was both ashamed and angry. It was obviously Ping Nan who was deliberately covering up and willing to let his assistant come out to testify.
She was dissatisfied, and just about to stand up and question it, she was pulled back by Xiao Tingjun, who looked innocent - she thought it was not enough to make a fool of herself?
Lin Wanyue felt cold in her heart and cried out in defense: "I didn't, I really didn't take pictures of the princess."
Xiao Yunqi's face was expressionless, "So, is it Princess Jin who slanders you, or is it me who slanders you?"
"A civilian girl wouldn't dare." Lin Wanyue clenched her teeth, looking like a weak and innocent woman who was persecuted by the powerful.
"Uncle Emperor, I think there was a misunderstanding about this matter." Xiao Tingjun tried his best to save it, "How about this, I will pay for the broken glass vase."
"Where did the misunderstanding come from?" Shen Ning, who had remained silent, finally spoke again, "Lin Wanyue is not the first offender. She was pregnant and had a miscarriage, but she deliberately framed me. If someone hadn't happened to see it, I would have jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't even clear my flow.
King Jin saw his past friendship with her and let things go by the wayside.
But this bitch didn't repent, and together with the government doctor, they wanted to cut my blood for treatment on the pretext of a serious illness.
The King of Jin couldn't bear it anymore, so he expelled her from the palace and handed over the doctor to the government.
If His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't believe it, you can go and investigate. This kind of person refuses to change despite repeated admonitions. Are you sure you want to intercede on her behalf? But don't follow in the footsteps of Prince Jin and let others laugh at you."
The version Xiao Tingjun heard was not like this. Besides, everyone just got what they needed. The deeper the grudge between Lin Wanyue and Prince Jin, the more helpful it would be to him.
Xiao Yunqi rubbed the jade ring on his hand, "His Royal Highness, really want to pay back fifty thousand taels for her out of his own pocket?"
Fifty thousand taels? Every time he came here before, the emperor's uncle would give him a big discount, and he could get even the rarest things at extremely low prices.
Top-grade colored glaze has a price but not a market, and the emperor's uncle owns the only colored glaze shop in Dongzhou. How much silver it sells for depends on his words. You must know that he once gave himself a set of thirteen glazed pots, but now he is asking for 50,000 taels.
.
Sure enough, he was venting his anger on behalf of Princess Jin.
