One hundred and seventeen chapters, the fake can't be real
The steward keenly noticed something was wrong and hurriedly said: "Of course this girl is Lanxuan County Lord's personal maid. Didn't Steward Qi recognize her already?"
Yu Xijiao smiled leisurely, with a hint of surprise in her voice: "Since you are from Lord Lanxuan County, shouldn't you be at Zhengyuan Hou Mansion at this time?"
The Marquis Zhengyuan's Mansion has been put under guard, and no one is allowed to come in or out at will, let alone come here with great fanfare.
Hong Xi also reacted at this time and hurriedly explained: "I... I went out to buy some necessary things for the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion... I also need to buy some."
"Purchasing?" Yu Xijiao smiled: "Do you want to send someone to Zhengyuan Hou Mansion to ask the yamen guarding the door if they have sent a maid to purchase today?"
In ordinary aristocratic families, male servants are often used for purchasing, which makes it easier to get in and out. Of course, some aristocratic families will use their mothers-in-law to purchase some necessities. Mother-in-laws are also very good at purchasing some necessities. Only those who really have no other people will use them.
Maid, the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion is obviously not a mansion that cannot send other people.
When they heard that they were going to ask the guards in front of Zhengyuan Hou's mansion, the steward-looking man and Hong Xi panicked.
Yu Xijiao continued: "Zhengyuan Hou Mansion can only move more conveniently if the dowry maid who follows Yu Lanyan to Xin Kangbo Mansion is outside the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion."
At this point, Yu Xijiao paused, and with Hong Xi's horrified eyes, she continued: "So, I want to ask you... are you the personal maid of Lord Lanxuan or Yu Lanyan's dowry maid?"
"This maid...is betraying her master!"
"On the day my master died, he followed another person to Xin Kangbo Mansion?"
"Before, it was said that Yu Lanyan married into the Xinkang Bo Mansion because Lord Lanxuan meant it. When the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion was on fire, could Lord Lanxuan survive after being rescued? This... couldn't have been said by this maid, right?
"
Seeing Hong Xi's look, the people around him immediately knew that there was something wrong, and they immediately began to speculate.
The last guess has been recognized by many people. Regarding the matter of Yu Lanyan marrying into the Xinkangbo Mansion, it has always been said that it was proved by the words of Lord Lanxuan County, but many people feel doubtful in their hearts, but there are more people talking about this matter.
, even some suspicions were ignored.
Now that he was mentioned by such a passerby, it was like someone had suddenly broken the shell, and he suddenly became enlightened.
Hong Xi's feet went weak, and she sat down on the ground with a plop. She gritted her teeth and said with a trembling voice: "I...I have not betrayed my master. I am the county prince's personal maid."
Yu Xijiao sneered, at this time, this maid is still so harsh.
He sighed softly: "Since you have been interested in Yu Lanyan for a long time and are willing to be Yu Lanyan's dowry maid, why didn't you explain it to County Lord Lanxuan early so that she would not betray the bond of master and servant."
After saying this, not only did Hongxi's face change, but the faces of the people around him also turned ugly. The most famous person in Zhengyuanhou Mansion was Zhengyuanhou himself. When Zhengyuanhou died, the whole country mourned, and then Yu Lanxuan, who usually
He often did something to help others. Even though he later remained filial, he would also give food and porridge to some people when they were in trouble.
"I...I was on the dowry list a long time ago. The dowry list was sent to Xin Kangbo Mansion. I...I naturally had to follow it. In fact, it was not my intention, but the intention of the lady in the mansion." Hong Xi suddenly said
He hid his face and cried.
What a concubine, Yu Xijiao sneered in her heart. She had known that Hong Xi was quite quick-witted, and knew that Hong Xi would have something to say when she was about to be forced to a dead end.
In her last life, she was very fond of this quick-witted maid, but she didn't expect that this maid was also a person who acted according to the circumstances. She discovered that there was something wrong with the matter early, but the choice was made behind her back!
"What does the dowry list mean?" Yu Xijiao said to herself.
"Yes, it's on the dowry list. The dowry list was prepared early. I was the dowry of the county king. Later, the county king asked the third girl to marry on her behalf. It's a good marriage with two surnames. All the things in the dowry will be given together.
When I arrive at Xin Kangbo Mansion, I...it is naturally inevitable for me."
Hong Xi gritted her teeth and said, until now, this is the only way to explain the matter.
Did you push it completely?
If you are not afraid of her pushing, you are afraid of her not pushing.
It was not easy to lure Hongxi to show up. How could Yu Xijiao let go of such an opportunity? She let out a long sigh with a bit of sadness: "The dowry of Lanxuan County Lord was saved by Marquis Zhengyuan for many years. Now the prince is still here."
, why did the Xin Kang Bo Mansion take away all the dowry, and it was because of Yu Lanyan? Marquis Zhengyuan was a hero throughout his life, serving the country and the people, but in the end... he ended up like this."
The dowry matter was hidden behind the matter of Yu Lanyan losing her virginity. It was suppressed for a while and no one noticed it. Now when Yu Xijiao said it, it was as if something was broken, allowing people to see the most important thing inside.
Everyone present was stunned by what was inside.
Then suddenly many people were filled with outrage.
"That's right! Why should a girl who lost her virginity take her cousin's dowry?"
"Even if you're not a virgin, you can't take your cousin's property, right?"
"The prince of the Marquis of Zhengyuan is still here, why didn't the Xinkang Bo Mansion return the dowry? These are the savings of the Marquis of Zhengyuan for many years."
"Xin Kangbo Mansion has no good intentions and actually wants to swallow the county prince's dowry?"...
Looking at the faces of everyone, and then looking at Hong Xi who was speechless, the manager looked panicked, and subconsciously looked around, looking around, and finally settled on one place.
Yu Xijiao's eyes also turned around and looked at a person in the crowd wearing a blue brocade robe: "The second young master of the Xin Kangbo Mansion is also here. Could it be that this maid was brought by the second young master Chu?"
Everyone turned around and saw that someone knew Chu Zidan.
"Yes, it's the second son of Xin Kangbo Mansion."
"It is indeed Mr. Chu."
Chu Zidan didn't expect that things would get to this point. His mother asked him to come over, just to calm down the situation. Everything was decided by the steward and Hong Xi. He also deliberately paid attention to it and did not show up at the same time as the steward and waited for the steward.
After going in for a while, I squeezed into the crowd and wanted to see the situation first.
I just squeezed in unexpectedly, and before I heard a few words, this matter fell on me.
He looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him. His heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. I'm just watching the excitement."
"Although Second Young Master Chu is here to watch the fun, this matter has something to do with the family. It happens that Second Young Master Chu is here, so I would like to ask on behalf of the people of this city, is Yu Lanyan really qualified to lead Zhengyuan Hou Yixin?
Did you marry off your savings to Xin Kangbo Mansion? Xin Kangbo Mansion really doesn’t intend to return the dowry now?”
The fire has been fanned high, and the name of Marquis Zhengyuan reminds many people of the general who fought hundreds of battles.
Recalling the time in front of the city gate, when they saw the general leading the soldiers with broken armor and blood stains to protect the peace of the capital, everyone's eyes became excited and said, "Return the dowry."
"Return the dowry!"
“The dowry must be returned!”…
Chu Zidan's brows twitched faintly, knowing that he was being held up. Whatever he said at this time was wrong, he glared at Hong Xi bitterly, gritted his teeth and turned around to leave.
But Yu Xijiao had no intention of letting him go just like that: "Second Young Master Chu, please go slowly."
"Is there anything else?" Chu Zidan asked impatiently, hating his mother for asking him to come over. This matter originally had nothing to do with him.
"Second Young Master Chu, let's talk about the two land deeds and the house deed. Since this maid is not a loyal servant of the county king, her words will naturally not count. But now there is a way to verify it." Yu Xi.
Jiao stretched out her hand and pointed at the paper in her steward-like hand.
The excited voices of the crowd gradually subsided, and things returned to their original path.
"Is there any way?" Chu Zidan said angrily, not realizing that his words were acknowledging Yu Xijiao's previous testimony, and that this matter had something to do with Xin Kangbo Mansion.
"The seal of the government." Yu Xijiao said.
"Excuse me, let's go to the Yamen of the Punishment Department to do some work." A voice sternly scolded, and a member of the Punishment Department showed up with the yamen servants. The last one had just gone to the Yamen of the Punishment Department to get the seal.
This movement shocked everyone, and the crowd moved away again.
Wai Lang, a member of the Criminal Department, also took the seal from the Yamen servant's hand and pointed at the two pieces of paper in the steward's hand.
The manager in charge looked at Chu Zidan and found no clear instructions. He could only step forward timidly and handed the land deed and house deed to the yamen servant. The yamen servant found the two pieces of paper and placed them on a counter near the counter. Yuanwailang came over and had already brought the official seal with him.
He came over, compared it with the above, and said: "These two are fake. The seal on them is too small. They are not the seals used by the government."
Chu Zidan's expression changed greatly, his feet softened, and he secretly created an official seal, which was a serious crime of beheading.
Qingyue stepped forward and took out two of them. This time the comparison was naturally true.
Two land deeds and two house deeds were placed in front of everyone in duplicate. The fake one had a small seal, while the real government seal was larger. Except for this, everything else was exactly the same. If you hadn’t seen the real one,
, it is impossible for this fake thing to appear.
And the person who can see this true nature cannot be anyone else except the people around Mr. Lanxuan County.
Chu Zidan was anxious and stepped forward to kick Hong Xi, "Bitch girl, say... Where did you get this fake land deed? Who made you do this? Who told you to harm our Xin Kangbo
From the government?"
Chu Zidan's face turned sharp and he glared at Hong Xi fiercely.
Hong Xi was kicked so hard that she clutched her chest and was in so much pain that she could not speak for a while.
"Why don't you tell me quickly, you are Lanxuan County Lord's personal maid, you must know the truth?" Chu Zidan stepped forward and wanted to kick Hong Xi again, but the people from the Criminal Department had already stepped forward to stop him.
"Second Young Master Chu is wrong. She is Yu Lanyan's dowry maid, not the loyal servant of Lanxuan County Lord." Yu Xijiao's eyes turned to Hong Xi's face, she smiled slightly, and gave Hong Xi's approval again.
sex.
After saying one sentence, Chu Zidan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what he was saying, sweating profusely: "Hong Xi, you are the personal maid of this bitch Yu Lanyan. Did she ask you to raid Yi Zhai and cause trouble before she died?"
Regardless of whether it is true or not, the only thing Chu Zidan can grasp at the moment is this life-saving straw. He cannot admit that this matter has anything to do with him. He cannot bear the crime of privately creating official seals...
