Chapter 122: Guilt
The sound of laughter spread from the whole house to the courtyard, and as the wind lingered throughout the East Garden, the originally cold and lonely place was also scattered with warmth.
In the evening, someone finally came to the palace and broke this short silence one by one. Su Yu, the personal attendant, came with the emperor's decree to invite Hu Xu into the palace to treat the princess, and Guan Qiannan entered the palace as an escort.
"Is there a risk of going this time?" Luo Xue rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up to tie his cloak tightly, and was afraid that his legs would be cold, so he put on a layer of knee pads.
"Do you really think of me like a fragile porcelain? Don't worry so much, nothing will happen when you enter the palace this time, but you should pay attention to the situation in the main courtyard, maybe they will have to act soon. If anything, I can tell Ade to come to the rescue, but I want to see what tricks they want to play. ”
Guan Qiannan is really a person who knows things like a god, and when they just left that night, the old lady of the Guan family sent a girl to invite her, and there seemed to be something important between her words, and she emphasized many times that she must go.
Early the next morning, Luo Xueshen went to the main courtyard at the agreed time, thinking that they had gotten up earlier than herself, and sat up one by one, with anger between their eyebrows and eyes, and they did not hide it at all.
The posture looked like a prisoner was being arraigned.
"Since you're here, let's take a seat." The first to speak was Guan Yilang's mother, Duan Ying'an.
Luo Xueshen still remembered the last time she heard Duan Ying'an begging her for the birthday banquet in such a good tone, but now that she changed her face, it must be nothing good.
"The snow is sinking." Duan Yingan suddenly stepped forward with a smile and took her hand affectionately, "The old lady and I called you here today because we have something to ask for, and I hope you don't feel abrupt." ”
"Oh? I wonder what the lady asks for? Luo Xue glanced at her faintly, and quickly withdrew her hand into the sleeve cage, trying to keep the distance between the two as much as possible.
Duan Yingan smiled awkwardly and looked back at the old lady, "It's not big or big, it's not small, but it's ...... But it's extremely important to us at the Guan family. Since you have married into the door of the Guan family, you should also do something practical for us, which was not an opportunity in the past, but now there is an excellent opportunity to show your loyalty. ”
She paused and continued: "We hope that you can take the charge of murdering the princess on behalf of Mingyue, after all, the princess also suspected you of doing it at the beginning, if you admit it, Qiannan will also try her best to help you, and will not let you go to prison." But if Mingyue is involved in this, it will be a different matter, what do you say? ”
Luo Xue Shen heard this, and her eyelids trembled slightly. I couldn't help but sigh that Duan Yingan and others played a big game of chess, and they even calculated themselves into it, just to help their own blood get rid of their crimes.
Since she can come to beg herself, presumably Guan Mingyue's crime is also confirmed.
She smiled faintly, put down the hungry teacup in her hand, and said quietly: "Madame, I shouldn't say this, I'm the daughter-in-law of the Guan family." But...... Before this happened, where did you treat me and the fourth master as people from the Guan family? Now that I have encountered difficulties, I have begun to play the family card, I, Luo Xueshen, am not stunned, and I will definitely not fight for Guan Mingyue. Since she dares to do this with a dead hand, she has to bear it herself, do you think this is the truth? ”
Several people listened to the meaning of her words and refused to accept the crime, and their originally relaxed faces instantly became solemn.
Duan Ying'an was still a little unwilling to give up, and asked softly again: "If we didn't treat you and Qiannan as the people of the Guan family, I'm afraid that the two of you would have been expelled from the Guan Mansion a long time ago, how could you live a peaceful life in Dongyuan." So...... We still think about this family affection in our hearts, after all, blood is thicker than water, how can we say that we don't care? ”
Seeing that Luo Xue Shen didn't speak, just looked at herself with a sneer, Duan Yingan gradually put away her gentle face, and finally tore through the disguise, "Luo Xue Shen, do you think we called you over today to discuss?" This matter has been decided, because you are jealous of the princess's childhood friendship with Guan Qiannan, so you deliberately poisoned the meal and wanted to murder the princess. And we have found all these witnesses and physical evidence, so you don't want to deny it. ”
She sneered, and the old lady got up immediately and said loudly: "Liu Quan, the sixth lady murdered the princess out of jealousy, the evidence is conclusive, and now you escort her to the firewood room!" As long as the people handling the case in Dali Temple did not come, she was not allowed to come out! ”
In this scene, they should have done the right thing early, and it is the old lady's consistent style to use both soft and hard. She thought that this would force Luo Xue Shen to comply, but she had no fear at all, "Since this matter is under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple, you have no right to intervene, if you persecute me like this, I am not afraid to go to the emperor and ask for justice!" ”
When everyone heard the emperor's words, their bodies were shocked, if it really made trouble in front of the emperor, Guan Mingyue's life must not be guaranteed.
I finally found out that it was someone from Dali Temple who found out about this case, and it happened that there were some acquaintances in it, if Luo Xueshen confessed, then everything would be happy.
They just want to find someone to make a scapegoat and smooth out the matter as soon as possible, and they don't want to make a big fuss.
"Liu Quan'er, let her go, this matter will be discussed later." The old lady sat down in the chair with her forehead propped up, and couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Each of these grandchildren, each of them can give her peace of mind.
Duan Ying'an couldn't help but worry about Guan Mingyue when she heard her tone, and stepped forward to say a lot of things, which made the old lady lose her temper, and she didn't dare to say more.
The matter of making Luo Xueshen scapegoat quickly spread from the main courtyard to Dongyuan, and Song Ma, An Qing and others were all upset about it, but at this moment, Guan Qiannan was still in the palace and did not come back, and no one supported them for a while.
"Miss, are you so willingly trampled on the head by the old ladies? I've seen Miss Guan a few times before, and I'm very scathing when I see her face, and it's not strange to do such a thing, but don't be soft-hearted and take the blame for her. ”
Luo Xue Shen stretched out her hand and poked her forehead, and sneered: "Do you really think your young lady is so stupid?" I'm not a bodhisattva, and I don't have compassion for everyone. People like Guan Mingyue are self-inflicted and can't complain about others. ”
An Qing nodded again and again, and the pinching movements of her hands were a little more attentive.
"Madam, someone from the main courtyard has come again." Mother Song led the little girl in front of the old lady and lifted the curtain into the house.
Luo Xue said lightly, but she didn't expect the little girl to kneel on the ground, kowtow again and again: "Sixth lady, you just go with the slave and maid, if you don't go, the slave and maid will be beaten when they go back." ”
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing two white arms, and the red marks on them made people look at them, and they couldn't help but feel shocked.
After thinking about it again and again, seeing that this little girl didn't seem to be a bitter master, she felt pity and decided to go with her.
