Xia Houyuan's tone of voice was serious and calm, making it impossible to refute or refuse. Everyone looked at him, wanting to see how he wanted to deal with it.
Xia Houyuan frowned slightly and said to the people in Prince Zhao's Mansion: "What are you looking at me for? My daughter was injured by someone from your family in your house. Shouldn't you give me and my daughter an explanation?"
It's time to explain again. Princess Zhao and Mrs. Fang will feel physically uncomfortable just hearing these words.
Princess Zhao continued to sigh with a cold face, and Mrs. Fang continued to pretend to cry, refusing to say anything to anyone.
King Zhao looked at his wife and eldest daughter-in-law, and then at Xia Houshu, who was silent. He didn't know which side to appease first, so he asked, "What kind of explanation does the Duke of Yue want us to give?"
Xia Houyuan did not expect that King Zhao would ask such a question, and said with a smile: "I am a military general. In the past, in the military camp, if anyone dared to use his power to bully others, I would deal with him according to military law."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in Prince Zhao's residence had dead expressions on their faces.
Martial law? Is he crazy? Which family's women can withstand the disciplinary punishment of military law? Is there anyone like him who just relies on his own reasoning to abuse others?
Before they could question, Xia Houyuan said again: "Military law is harsh, but I think Princess Changning is a woman and I'm afraid she can't bear it. King Zhao is familiar with the rules of these inner houses, so why don't you come to a conclusion."
Everyone in Prince Zhao's Mansion breathed a sigh of relief and all looked at Prince Zhao. It was up to them to make the decision, and they would definitely protect their own people, so they were not afraid that Xia Houyuan would do anything wrong.
King Zhao, who just wanted to pretend to be confused, was stunned for a while and thought to himself, Xia Houyuan, you old fox, didn't you just leave the problem to me?
Xia Houyuan looked at him and smiled slightly, as if to say, yes, if I don't throw it to you, who will?
King Zhao thought for a while and then said: "Since it was my Tan'er who was at fault first, let Tan'er apologize to all the ladies and Miss Xiahou. Of course, Miss Xiahou's medical expenses and dietary supplements will also be paid by Tan'er.
I have to shoulder the responsibility alone. What do you think?"
Xia Houyuan thought that it was not a big deal. The Duke of Yue State did not lack this little money. Moreover, this was not much of a punishment for the wealthy Princess Changning. But he did not say it immediately, but looked at his wife and
My sister scanned them one by one, as if asking for their opinions.
Zhong Yuqing asked: "How does Princess Changning plan to apologize?"
Dugutan couldn't accept it just when she heard her father asked her to apologize to the other families in person, and was thinking about how to fool him. Unexpectedly, Zhong Yuqing also used Qiao to show off, and she felt even more resentful and gave her a fierce look.
.
King Zhao was stunned. If he wanted to apologize, just apologize, say a word, or pay some compensation. Is there any other form of request?
"I wonder how Princess Xuanhe wants my daughter to apologize?" King Zhao humbly asked for advice.
"Since King Zhao is so sincere, why not..." Zhong Yuqing paused and seemed to be thinking seriously, "Why not let Princess Changning write a handwritten letter of apology and write down everything she did today.
And read it to us in public."
"I think that works!" Xia Houmei agreed. She thought that her sister-in-law was really a treasure. If she didn't do anything at ordinary times, she would definitely be merciless. She liked this method of apology very much. She just fantasized about Dugu Tan.
She felt so happy when she read the apology letter to them in front of them! Let's see if she dares to show off her power in front of her in the future!
"Don't go too far!" Dugutan couldn't even imagine what that scene would be like. He suddenly rushed to Zhong Yuqing and said viciously, "My father asked me to apologize to you. That was to be polite to you. You
Don’t really think of yourself as a person, ah——”
Before she could finish her words, she was slapped hard by Zhong Yuqing. She lost her center of gravity and fell to the ground. She was so embarrassed that even a step from her bun fell off.
Everyone in Prince Zhao's Mansion screamed and rushed up to look at Dugu Tan on the ground. They were worried and anxious, as if the people around him had become nothing.
When Xia Houyuan saw Dugutan rushing over, he was already prepared to kick him if she was rude again. Regardless of whether she was a princess or a princess, if she dared to insult his wife, daughter and sister, she would have to give her some punishment.
Look at the color, let her teach her a lesson! People from the Xiahou clan are not easy to bully!
But he didn't expect that Zhong Yuqing would strike faster and more accurately than him, and directly beat the person down.
Xia Houyuan was very satisfied with his wife's response and was secretly proud of him. But when he saw his wife's palms that were a little red due to excessive force, he quickly pulled them up and inspected them carefully, and said distressedly: "Does it hurt from the beating?"
Xia Houshu, whose face was still half swollen, almost laughed out loud after hearing this. He had to admire the friendship and tacit understanding between his parents. At this time, the focus was so strange.
However, King Zhao and Princess Zhao had dark faces, secretly scolding them for being shameless and doing such an intimate gesture in front of their children and juniors.
Dugutan was immediately stunned. She had been unruly and domineering for nearly thirty years, but she had never been hit like this. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't understand. She fell to the ground for a while before she cried out, feeling sad, angry and aggrieved, as if she had just
are today's victims.
Princess Zhao felt heartbroken when she saw her daughter in such a miserable state, she raised her head and glared at Zhong Yuqing, and said sternly: "Ms. Zhong, do you dare to hit my daughter?"
Zhong Yuqing said calmly: "The Princess of Changning beat my daughter first and imprisoned us later. Now she knows her mistakes and refuses to correct them. She also speaks evil words to me in public with evil intentions. I think both King Zhao and Princess Zhao are reluctant to teach them a lesson.
Then I'll do it for you."
Princess Zhao was dissatisfied and said: "Even if my Tan'er is at fault, she is the daughter of our Prince Zhao's house and the princess of the late emperor's personal title. When will it be your turn as an outsider to teach you a lesson?"
Zhong Yuqing said calmly: "Since Princess Zhao knows that we are outsiders, she should take care of her own family and show her kindness as soon as possible. It will not only hurt our hearts, but also ruin the face of your Prince Zhao's family! Now come and follow
Don’t you think it’s too late for me to say this?”
"Rebellion! Rebel! Rebel!" Princess Zhao shouted repeatedly, beat her chest and feet, and then pulled King Zhao to cry, "My lord, after all, you are also the half-brother of the late emperor and the biological uncle of His Majesty. Now an outsider would dare to
Are you going to ignore it if we beat your daughter in front of you at our house? Where is the power of God? Where is the dignity of the clan?"
Things happened a bit suddenly. King Zhao was not usually a person who cared about the affairs of the inner house, but at this moment he was still more rational than his wife and could see things more clearly.
Regardless of her identity, Dugutan, as a junior, rushed up to her like that and spoke so harshly. No one knew what she would do next, so she deserved to be slapped by Zhong Yuqing. But Zhong Yuqing was an elder after all, and dozens of
For someone who is 20 years old, it is inappropriate to argue with a junior. However, Dugutan also beat her daughter before, so this matter can be considered even...
King Zhao was thinking silently, but did not dare to speak out. After all, he still couldn't figure out what Xia Houyuan was thinking. And judging from his attitude just now, he was already very dissatisfied with Dugu Tan.
The maid who happened to go to get the plaster came back, and she was almost dumbfounded when she saw the scene in front of her. When she left, the only one injured was Miss Xiahou. How could she get the medicine and even Princess Changning was beaten?
What happened in the meantime?
Xia Houyuan saw someone coming in from the corner of his eye, so he waved to her and said, "You came at the right time. Hurry up and get the medicine for your princess to apply on it. Just now, King Zhao said that the plaster on your house can reduce swelling and reduce congestion."
The effect is very good. If you apply it earlier, you won't be like my daughter. A good girl's face is swollen like a pig's head and she is too embarrassed to go out to meet people."
The maid was dumbfounded a long time ago, and she didn't know whether she came at the right time or not.
King Zhao glanced at her and said angrily: "What are you still doing? Get over here!"
"Oh..." The maid woke up from a dream and hurried over to help apply medicine to Dugu Tan.
Xia Houmei looked at their family, with their loving father and filial daughter, respectful brothers and sisters, and then looked at Xu Ruolan, and felt sad. She swallowed the sadness and tried to make her emotions look more stable, and said: "Chang Ning
The princess slapped my natal niece, and just now she was slapped by Princess Xuanhe, so it was even. But there must be an explanation for the fact that Princess Changning imprisoned the official family and framed them with repeated insults. I think I will follow the rules of Xuanhe
As the princess said, let Princess Changning apologize to us in front of everyone. From now on, we will no longer care about it, otherwise we will still have to report this matter to His Majesty!"
Princess Zhao stood up immediately, blocking Dugutan behind her like an old hen protecting her cubs, and said angrily: "You have made trouble, scolded, and beaten people, and you still want us to apologize again? What a dream!"
Xiahou Mei raised his chin slightly, without giving in, and said firmly: "I originally thought that this matter should be settled one by one. Let's break it down one by one, and no one owes anyone. Since Princess Zhao said so, then
We will write a memorial when we get back and present it to His Majesty at the palace tomorrow!"
Princess Zhao's blood surged, she stamped her feet and roared: "Okay! You go! You all go! If I was afraid of you, I would have been a Princess Zhao for decades in vain!"
Taking her identity as Princess Zhao as an example again. Xiahou Mei felt a great hatred in her heart. She did not think that Princess Zhao was very shrewd in her daily dealings with others. Instead, she had been pretending to be confused all year round. She only knew that
She enjoys herself, and she only picks the weakest persimmons. In the past, she was worried that if she said something wrong that she would offend Princess Zhao, it would be her daughter who would suffer later, so she tolerated it again and again. But now both families are at odds, and they are still
With her brothers and sons supporting her, she didn't have so many worries.
Xiahou Mei pursed her lips and said, "It will be as you wish!"
Princess Zhao was not threatened. She looked aside and then said to Duguxian: "This mother-in-law of yours is overbearing, cunning and rude, and our family cannot afford to make friends with her. As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter, you'd better get rid of her as soon as possible.
Mr. Xu has divorced, so as not to cause any confusion in the future!"
"What did you say?" Xiahou Mei did not expect that Princess Zhao, who was accustomed to being in a relationship, would say such words first, and her teeth chattered with hatred, "You want to divorce my daughter? Why?"
"Why do you still dare to ask me?" Princess Zhao looked ferocious and stamped her feet, "Just because she has such a fierce and unruly mother like you, she is not worthy of being my daughter-in-law in Prince Zhao's palace!"
It turned out to be because of this. Xiahou Mei burst into laughter and could hardly control her expression. Whenever they could tell Xu Ruolan something wrong, she might feel guilty and nervous. But the problem is, Princess Zhao kept talking,
The strange thing is that she is a strong mother. I have never heard of any family divorcing their wives because the mother-in-law is too strong. This is something new!
No matter how strong her mother-in-law is, she is just a prostitute after all. How can she be stronger than their own, Prince Zhao's Mansion?
After Xu Ruolan got married, she stayed in Prince Zhao's mansion every day. She never left the door or took a step forward. She never left the servants and maids. She spoke and acted openly. Occasionally when she returned to her parents' home, she would ask Princess Zhao for permission first and then go back. Even if she returned
She only stayed at her parents' house for a few hours and never stayed overnight. Every time Xiahou Mei came to Prince Zhao's Mansion to see her daughter, the people in the Prince's Mansion, whether old or young, were always polite to them. They, Prince Zhao's Mansion, wanted to arrest them.
It's really not an easy task.
"You bullied my daughter. I didn't argue with you, but you argued with me first. In that case, let's talk about this matter." After Xiahou Mei finished speaking, she glanced at her daughter and said, "Ruolan, what are you doing?
Let me tell you the truth, do you still want to stay here with such a shameless husband's family?"
