Mrs. Changyang Hou winked at her son: "Mrs. Xia suddenly lost her husband and daughter..."
"Mom!" Xia Furong panicked and hurriedly interrupted her mother-in-law: "Back then, I was not pregnant until someone drank a bowl of Juezi soup. I have been recuperating my body over the years, and I have endured so many hardships.
Yao, you can’t be so heartless and ruthless as to let my husband divorce me.”
Originally, Madam Changyang Marquis did not want to make this matter a big deal, but today Xia Furong was so stimulated that she insisted on making a blind noise to let everyone know about it, which would make the Changyang Marquis Mansion unable to get off the stage.
Xia Furong now also represents the face of Changyang Houfu. If she makes such a fuss, it will only make the Houfu lose face as well.
"Mother, we can discuss this later." Marquis Changyang's mind was not on this at the moment. He was in a very solemn mood, as if a knife had stabbed his heart so hard that he almost couldn't breathe in pain.
Changyang Marquis turned his head and comforted Madam Xia: "My condolences, madam."
"Master Marquis, lying here are my parents and two younger sisters. How can you persuade this vicious woman?" Xia Furong was driven crazy. She lost her closest relatives overnight. Maybe Xia Furong
Madam was also involved, why didn't the Marquis help him punish the murderer severely?
Mrs. Changyang Hou had lost her patience: "Xia Furong, you've had enough!"
Looking at the cold eyes of her mother-in-law and her husband, Xia Furong moved her lips and regained some of her rationality. After all, she didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
Mrs. Xia then said: "Fu Rong is a concubine of my prime minister's house. She is so rude and it's all because I didn't teach her well. The old lady is open-minded, but I feel sorry for her."
Originally, Xia Furong's anger had been suppressed, but she didn't expect Mrs. Xia to stir up anger again. Xia Furong exploded completely: "Why are you so vicious? Your daughter made me unable to have children. Not only do you have no guilt, you are also
You are brazen enough to persuade my mother-in-law to divorce me, but you are a mother in vain!"
Mrs. Xia's body was crumbling, her face was pale and she pointed her hand at Xia Furong: "You!"
"Fu Rong!" Marquis Changyang frowned in displeasure: "Don't say any more."
"Why can't I mention it again? If Xia Qingyi hadn't taken the initiative to enter the palace and enjoyed the glory and wealth for more than ten years, now that he's dead, he still wants me to take the blame. What's the point?"
Xia Furong completely exploded at this moment. Why should she endure it when she was wronged? She wanted everyone to know what kind of person Xia Qingyi was.
"Although I am a concubine, I am my father's most beloved daughter. With my status and family background, marrying a marquis is not a high standard at all. I have suffered so much glare and resentment over the years. Now my parents have been killed, but I can't
To vent, you will be implicated and abandoned,
Tell me, what's the point of this?" Xia Furong sneered: "Maybe one day I will contract a serious illness and die, just as some people want!"
The people present were whispering to each other and talking a lot. When Mrs. Changyang Hou saw this, her face was burning and she was holding her breath.
"Madam!" The maid yelled fiercely. Madam Xia vomited out blood and fell into the maid's arms. She was as angry as a gossamer: "How dare you talk nonsense? It was you who deceived Qingyi back then.
…”
"It was Xia Qingyi who wanted to enter the palace to serve the former emperor because she was shameless and greedy for glory and wealth. What does it have to do with me?" Xia Furong hurriedly interrupted Mrs. Xia's words, her eyes a little evasive.
"Really?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the door. Chu Yunning was wearing a light crimson long dress with one hand tied at the waist. She came in style. Her dress was very simple, with only a small jade crown on her temples.
There is a white jade belt on the slender waist, and two sachets hanging down.
With a charming but not pretty face, she walked leisurely to the hall. As soon as she came, everything was quiet.
"Chu Shanggong?" Xia Furong looked at Chu Yunning and frowned subconsciously. She always felt that it was a coincidence that she came to Changyang Marquis Mansion that day.
It didn't take long for Xia Qingyi to poison Prime Minister Xia to death. Xia Furong vaguely felt that there was something fishy about this matter, but there was no clue to connect the matter. Plus Chu Yunning's special status, Xia Furong did not dare to look bad.
.
Chu Yunning first put on three sticks of incense and glanced sideways at Xia Furong: "I first entered Xihai not long ago, and I have never been in contact with Concubine Xia before, but as a woman, I want to clarify something for Concubine Xia."
"Concubine Xia did not take the initiative to poison, but the second lady entered the palace in the name of visiting relatives to persuade Concubine Xia to follow the Marquis of Xihai to preserve her innocent reputation, and threatened the lives of Lady Xia and Young Master Xia. Concubine Xia was forced
I came up with this strategy out of desperation, to die together with the second lady and others. As for Prime Minister Xia... Prime Minister Xia saw his beloved wife and daughter passing away, and followed him away in grief and anger."
"You're talking nonsense! You must have accepted Xia Qingyi's favor to speak for her. It was obviously Xia Qingyi who killed my father." Xia Furong was the first to not believe that Prime Minister Xia would follow the second lady to death.
Although dad dotes on mom, it’s not to the point where he will be with her until life and death.
Chu Yunning raised her eyebrows: "All the evidence from the harem is there. Jing Zhaoyin and Zuo Zuo can both testify that Prime Minister Xia had no injuries on his body and was very peaceful when he died. I did accept Concubine Xia's money. As agreed,
We can give Concubine Xia freedom, but the Xia family cannot tolerate Concubine Xia entering the palace and forcing her to do so. Concubine Xia was the last to die, so it can be seen that Concubine Xia died as an apology and was not treasonous."
After this explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
"Concubine Xia is gentle and virtuous, how could she poison her father? Who knows what kind of life Mrs. Xia has lived these years."
"Xia Chengzhang relied on Mrs. Xia's help to get where he is today. He abandoned his wife who was a loser and supported a concubine. He deserves to die."
Some people were already dissatisfied with Prime Minister Xia's tyranny, but now that he is gone, there is no need to worry about anything anymore.
"Concubine Xia is really not easy..."
Seeing the situation turn around, Xia Furong was angry and anxious: "Chu Shanggong, you lied!"
Chu Yunning took out Xia Qingyi's guilt letter unhurriedly. Fortunately, the writing was vague. It only said that he was ashamed of his ancestors and a descendant of the Xia family, but did not mention the poisoning of Prime Minister Xia with his own hands.
After Chu Yunning's explanation, everyone felt that this was what happened.
"Mrs. Hou, if Concubine Xia doesn't want to live, why should I accept her money? Isn't this contradictory?"
"You!" Xia Furong choked. Chu Yunning did come to ask for money. Many people in the Hou family can testify to this.
She couldn't defend herself.
Chu Yunning supported Mrs. Xia and comforted her: "Mrs. Xia, my condolences."
"Chu Shanggong..." Mrs. Xia was a little excited, and Chu Yunning immediately said: "The emperor was very moved by the thought of Prime Minister Xia's infatuation, and decided to appoint the Prime Minister's son Xia Lianzhou as the Marquis of Xiaogan, and he will be hereditary for three generations."
Mrs. Xia was very excited after hearing this. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed towards the imperial city. Chu Yunning helped her up: "You must take good care of yourself."
Xia Furong on the side was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Her parents were dead, and her two sisters were dead, but in the end, Xia Lianzhou got the title of Marquis that was hereditary for the third generation?
