Mrs. Meng's second wife screamed even more harshly: "Just because I am her mother and she was born to me, I will bear all the consequences!"
Xiao Lingyue just felt that she couldn't understand people's words: "The emperor's crimes are the same as those of the common people. Is there any law in Northern Qin that stipulates that parents should bear the responsibility for children's mistakes? Do you, a mother, have more privileges than the emperor?"
Mrs. Meng Er: "I..."
Xiao Lingyue: "Last night, you and Master Meng knelt at the door of Prince Yi's Mansion, crying and shouting that you insisted on seeing me, so I asked the guards to convey it to you. There are both physical and personal evidence of Meng Wanqing's mistakes.
The case has been handed over to Jingzhao Mansion and is not under my control.
I can't care either.
It's useless for you to ask me for mercy. Can I, a little county boss, just say a few words and get Meng Wanqing out of prison? "
Xiao Lingyue's words were obviously ironic.
When Mrs. Meng heard this, she blurted out: "Why can't you?"
Xiao Lingyue was speechless, but also felt funny: "You mean, I have the privilege to interfere with the court's laws?"
"That was not what I meant."
Mrs. Meng was also from a noble family and was not illiterate.
She said eagerly: "The laws of the imperial court belong to the law, but the laws are nothing more than human relationships. This matter is related to you, and you reported the case. As long as you are willing to let go and not pursue the case, of course the Jingzhao Mansion will
There will be no severe punishment, then my daughter can be released from prison!"
Prince: "..."
Zhan Beihan laughed: "Heh."
Xiao Lingyue felt even more speechless: "Mrs. Meng, let me explain to you again. According to the laws of the Northern Qin Dynasty, if it is an ordinary minor matter that is not serious and the two parties reach a consensus in private, it can indeed be resolved privately without reporting it to the official.
But what Meng Wanqing did was no small matter.
She blatantly killed people in public, deliberately plotting and killing people in front of most of the noble families in the capital and three princes!
To put it bluntly, she wanted to harm me, and she took action in public, and she showed no remorse afterwards.
After I narrowly escaped, she even wanted to throw sewage on my head and bite me back, saying that I deliberately wanted to harm her.
In this case.
Why should I let her go?
Firstly, I did not lynch her, and secondly, I did not deliberately retaliate in kind.
I just reported it to the Jingzhao Mansion in accordance with the laws of the imperial court and let the government handle the matter.
Due to emotions and reasons, I am not doing too much, right?
So, you and Mr. Meng came to Prince Yi's Mansion overnight to beg me for mercy. I really don't understand, what else is there to beg for mercy? Do you insist that I forgive Meng Wanqing, a person who wants to kill me? "
Xiao Lingyue's voice was cold and she spoke clearly every word.
Mrs. Meng Er was speechless.
She was so anxious that she was sweating: "I know Wanqing did something wrong, and I am willing to apologize for her. I can make amends to you. I am really sorry! But Wanqing is still young after all...
.She is not sensible yet, so you can’t blame her! It’s me, the mother-in-law, who failed to teach her well. I will bear the consequences for her. Lord Anping County, please forgive her this time. I guarantee that she will never dare to do it again in the future.
!”
Mrs. Meng Er, who is over forty years old, no matter how well she takes care of herself, she is exhausted from a sleepless night and looks extremely haggard at this moment, with wrinkles appearing at the corners of her red and swollen eyes, as if she has aged ten years overnight.
She begged bitterly: "I beg you, Lord Anping... You are also a mother, can you understand my feelings? I only have one daughter, Wanqing, in my life.
I really can't watch her suffer like this in prison... Isn't there a saying? It hurts the child's body, but it hurts the mother's heart! It's all my fault for not teaching her well. It's my fault...
....Please forgive her this time! Please, I beg you!"
Mrs. Meng cried and kowtowed as she spoke.
Xiao Lingyue frowned: "Mrs. Meng, you don't have to do this..."
"Please, Lord Anping County, please be noble and spare my daughter this time!" Mrs. Meng couldn't listen to her words at all, she cried and kowtowed.
Underneath the messy hair, there is a haggard and old face, with red and swollen marks on his cheeks, his eye sockets are extremely swollen, and his forehead is almost turning blue.
Xiao Lingyue couldn't bear to see it, and she couldn't help but have an idea in her heart.
