The crowd discussed in a low voice, and finally recommended a very enthusiastic woman nearby to take a look.
Seeing that the woman looked honest and not cunning, Hua Yanxi nodded towards Xibohou.
The woman came up from the stairs, first took a look at the child in Xibohou's arms, looked at the newborn baby with lanugo hair still attached to its scalp, and couldn't help but coax her.
It was also strange that after she gently coaxed the baby, he miraculously stopped crying, looked at her with his eyes open, and then fell asleep in his father's arms.
Xibohou thanked the woman gratefully.
The woman was a little embarrassed, hurriedly waved her hand, and explained honestly: "It's nothing. I often take care of people's children, and I have a few babies at home, so I still have some rough experience in coaxing children. This child must be hungry."
But since I don’t have the strength, Lord Marquis should feed him milk as soon as possible, milk is also fine.”
Xibohou then remembered and quickly ordered people to go down to find milk.
Fortunately, this is an inn, so it's not difficult to find some milk.
Then the lady went to the room where Mrs. Xibohou was. The room had been smoked with mugwort, and the smell of blood was gone.
Mrs. Xibohou was lying on the bed like this, with a fresh incision in her abdomen that had been sewn up. Although she was weak, she was indeed still alive. It was not like what the doctor said: Mrs. Xibohou had died miserably after her stomach was cut open.
As someone who has experienced it, she knows more than those stinky men who just watch.
There is no way for a woman to give birth without pain. Pain is secondary. Due to physical reasons, many young wives feel as if they are in the gate of hell after giving birth, let alone one at Xibohou's age.
Although I don’t know what method the fifth prince’s concubine used to survive after having her belly dissected, she did indeed save the lives of the mother and son.
When he came outside again, Xibohou was clumsily feeding milk, and the fifth princess was confronting the people downstairs.
The woman walked over and turned towards the two of them with shame.
"The old woman listened to the rumors and misunderstood the two nobles. Please don't blame me."
Hua Yanxi nodded: "Then please tell everyone what you saw."
So the woman explained it to everyone downstairs.
Mrs. Xibohou is still alive. She does have a knife wound on her stomach, but although she is not jumping around, she is indeed still alive.
At this time, the crowd was surprised and began to ask questions.
The woman answered a few questions patiently at first, then said impatiently: "Okay, have you asked enough? Since the Marquis and the fifth prince are innocent, what does their family affairs have to do with you?
Now, hurry up and cool down. Your own wives are not as caring as usual, and those talkative women have no time to care about whether others want their little wives. First, worry about whether your date will divorce you. They talk about people's rights and wrongs all day long.
.”
No one doubted the woman's words. After all, she recommended her. If she denies this, it would not be a slap in the face to herself.
As a result, everyone was no longer as confident as before, and began to complain about how the doctor just spread the news randomly.
"Even if the person is not dead, it is true that the fifth prince's concubine rode the horse to commit murder. If she were not so arrogant, how could the carriage be mounted and such a thing happen?"
"That's right, don't think about using one thing to cover up another. It's obvious that she didn't cause the mother and child to have a premature birth, so why are you thanking her now?"
The first few people to boo started to pick up the pace again.
Hua Yanxi frowned when she heard this: "I rode the horse to commit murder? Which of you saw it? Come forward and tell me, who saw the horse I drove?"
"Fifth Princess, don't think that just because you are a Princess, you can just blame the fault on the servants. The servants have all stood up to testify against you. It was clearly you who asked him to drive a fast horse, and then the wheels rolled off.
Things, don’t you want to admit this?”
Hua Yanxi's eyes immediately turned to the coachman who was hiding in the crowd and tried his best to hide himself, and he glanced sharply: "Is this how you explain this matter?"
When the coachman received Hua Yanxi's gaze, he trembled, but when he thought of the consequences, and with so many people around, he still frowned and said: "Yes, you were the one who instigated me in this matter, and I took it for granted."
I have had handlebars for more than ten years and have never had any problems.”
Even Xibohou on the side couldn't listen to these words.
As the victim, how could he not be clear about it?
At that time, the two carriages were crossing each other, and with the large number of people, it was impossible to move quickly.
If they were really traveling at a fast speed, if the people in the carriage were not knocked out of the carriage by the momentum, would his wife still be alive?
Just as she was about to speak, Hua Yanxi raised her hand and whispered: "Master Hou, there is no need to explain. It is useless to explain. These people only believe what they see and hear. They don't care whether the truth of the matter is like this or not."
Once you tell them, they will say that you are covering up for me and I can handle this matter myself."
Xibohou's face was full of shame, but it was a pity that he was so good at talking, and now he had trouble explaining.
But what Hua Yanxi said is right. People don't have so many complicated twists and turns in their hearts, and they will only believe what they believe.
Hua Yanxi looked at the coachman: "There have been no mistakes for more than ten years, so let me ask you, why did you not report the leather on the carriage to be replaced when it was clearly worn out, but continued to drive the horse out of the palace?"
The coachman didn't expect that Hua Yanxi would ask this question. He felt a little guilty, but his voice became louder.
"That's a matter for the superiors. The superiors think they can use me as a servant. Besides, if it weren't for you, Naoxi wouldn't have gotten pregnant today." The coachman said more and more matter-of-factly, as if this was a fact.
Hua Yanxi sneered: "Really?"
"Isn't it?"
Hua Yanxi went straight down the stairs. When everyone saw that she was going to the door, they immediately stopped.
"What are you going to do, are you running away in fear of crime?" someone asked urgently.
Hua Yanxi did not answer, but instead walked to the broken carriage, picked up the cowhide, and compared it with the cowhide of the intact wheel.
Sure enough, we found that the broken piece was much heavier than the intact piece, and the broken piece showed signs of severe wear.
Hua Yanxi said: "Everyone, please look at the wear and tear on this cowhide."
"What's so weird about the wear and tear? It's definitely normal to have wear and tear after rolling on the ground all day long." Someone said disdainfully.
Hua Yanxi said: "It's normal to have wear and tear, but don't forget, if this carriage wants to keep moving forward, the wheels have to keep rolling, so the wear and tear should be the same, isn't that right?"
"Of course yes."
"Then take a look at these two pictures."
"What's wrong with these two? It's just that one is broken and the other is intact. What's so strange about it."
Hua Yanxi turned to look at the coachman: "The cowhide on this carriage should have been replaced at the same time, right?"
"Of course." The coachman said subconsciously without doubting that he was there.
