Chapter 454: Confession and leniency
"Yes, I didn't know at the time, but when I returned to Xia Mansion after the matter was revealed, I heard Miss Xia tell the truth angrily."
The girl in the wheelchair paused and continued, "It turns out that what I put on my face is like arsenic! ”
The people present were shocked and angry, seeing the wound on the girl's face, of course they also knew how ruthless Xia Zhiyi's attack was, but they had no idea before.
Now when arsenic is mentioned, everyone is clear.
"Then why don't you make an excuse to go home first?" Bai Ruoguan was very anxious on the side.
If this were her, she would be scared to death, how could she dare to stay in someone else's house, she would definitely go back to her own house and hide first.
But the girl seemed to have passed the stage of panic, and sat in a wheelchair with unusual calmness.
"I thought about running away, but as soon as I got back to the Summer Mansion, she told me to go back to my room to rest, and by the time I realized myself, all the people around me were gone, and my personal maid, Fluttershy, had been called away. After that, I was locked up in a firewood room. “
This is the end of the story, and the antechamber is quiet once more.
Jiang Ruanyan never thought that this Xia Zhiyi would come up with so many vicious tricks in order to deal with her.
He was able to do this to a strange girl.
And Xia Zhiyi also knew very well in her heart that even if she succeeded in the matter of wronging the Heart Yuan Pavilion, at most she would only cause some damage to Jiang Ruanyan, and she would not be able to do anything to her.
But because of this damage, Xia Zhiyi did not hesitate to ruin other people's lives.
"Miss Xia, is what this girl said true?" Jiang Ruanyan threw away his previous joking attitude and looked at Xia Zhiyi seriously.
The other party obviously didn't expect things to develop to this point, "I, I ......" she stammered, unable to say a complete sentence for a long time.
"Be lenient in confession, strict in resisting!" This time it was Bai Ruoguan's turn to remind her.
This sentence seems to wake up Xia Zhiyi, things have come to this point, and the person is already in the hands of Ji Shitang, and it will only be bad for her to cover it up.
"I admit that I did all this, I deeply regret it, and I am willing to compensate."
She knew that Jiang Ruanyan was kind-hearted, and if she said a few nice words, and then pretended to apologize, she would definitely forgive her.
On the other hand, Jiang Ruanyan's mood was a little complicated, in fact, she was very willing to accept monetary compensation just for the matter of wronging Xinyuan Pavilion.
She even thought about it early in the morning, the claim was the location of the store where the Heart Yuan Pavilion was now, and she didn't want to take advantage of others.
As long as Xia Zhiyi is willing to sell it at a reasonable price, she will buy this land immediately.
After all, if it weren't for Xia Zhiyi, she wouldn't have thought of asking Gu Shenyuan to endorse her, and the business of Xinyuan Pavilion wouldn't necessarily be as good as it is now.
However, regarding the injury on the girl's face, that matter cannot be solved only by monetary compensation, it depends on the thoughts of Ding Yi and his sister.
So Jiang Ruanyan was silent on the side.
Seeing that no one replied at the scene, Xia Zhiyi panicked, she saw Jiang Ruanyan, and pounced as if she was about to grasp a life-saving straw, grabbing her sleeve tightly.
"Boss Jiang, aren't you still renting my shop? I'm willing to sell that piece of land to you, oh no, to you. ”
Jiang Ruanyan raised her eyebrows excitedly, this was what Xia Zhiyi said herself, she didn't force her.
But then his face drooped again.
"It's one thing for you to wronged the Heart Pavilion, but it's another thing to cause this girl's injury, and I can't promise you this matter."
The matter is two things, but now that the girl is in Jishitang, if she agrees, others will definitely think that it was Jishitang who forced the girl to agree to such a request for financial compensation.
Maybe the girl will think too.
Jiang said that the girl's autonomy must be guaranteed.
Although she didn't get an answer, Xia Zhiyi got the instructions, and she hurriedly threw herself into the wheelchair on the other side, bending down and begging the girl.
"Girl, please spare me, this time I am confused, I am willing to bear all your medical expenses."
Bai Ruoguan next to him became angry when he heard this, "Is it just medical expenses?" She didn't believe that Xia Zhiyi didn't know how important it was to ruin a girl's face, and she only proposed medical compensation, which was too good at taking advantage of loopholes.
"Oh, yes, and the cost of maintenance, and the cost of meals, rest, travel, etc., in short, how much do you want, just ask."
If the people had not been dispersed, they would have sighed, and it would have been rare to hear the Iron Rooster say such a thing in their lifetime.
But the person in the wheelchair is not moved.
"I thought that the squire of the military department was a chore, he got little money, and he was tired of doing the work, but now after listening to Miss Xia's words, I realized that things don't seem to be the same as I thought."
As soon as Xia Zhiyi turned around, Gu Shenyuan came from the direction behind.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, why are you here?" Xia Zhiyi's tongue was knotted.
"Why can't I be here?" Gu Shenyuan asked rhetorically.
Xia Zhiyi immediately reacted that he had said the wrong thing, although he knew that this matter was bad enough, but Gu Shenyuan still had to salute in front of him.
"The little girl sees the Second Highness, I don't know ...... Second Highness here"
"Okay, there is no need to talk about etiquette outside the palace." Xia Zhiyi was halfway through the salute, and Gu Shenyuan interrupted her.
Then he began to talk.
"My father has always told me that I must understand the people's feelings and perceive the sufferings of the world, and I have always wondered that although the people's affairs are the affairs of the country, but the people are often trivial matters, and I can't care about everything."
Everyone present heard what Gu Shenyuan meant.
"Now I know that small things can become big things."
As soon as the words changed, Gu Shenyuan came to Xia Zhiyi.
At this time, Xia Zhiyi's centrifugal instrument was so close, his face was directly above her, within reach, but she didn't dare to have the presumptuousness of the past, and knelt on the ground tremblingly, obeying the order.
"Please spare your life, what I just said is true, can Your Highness let me go this time if I take the initiative to confess, take the initiative to admit my mistakes, and am willing to compensate."
A pair of big teary eyes looked at Gu Shenyuan, and people who didn't know about it were probably going to be emotional about the situation at this moment.
Not only Xia Zhiyi, but Jiang Ruanyan next to her was also full of worries, although she had always known that Gu Shenyuan was in Jishitang, but she didn't expect him to interfere, and thought that he had been with Ding Yi all along.
He is in trouble this time, Jiang Ruanyan is not worried about Xia Zhiyi.
I was just thinking that if this matter was brought back to the palace by Gu Shenyuan and passed on to the emperor, then she would not be able to go to this shop.
"I didn't want to take care of it, but the group of officers and soldiers you brought in at the beginning was really scary, and I never forgot that scene."
Gu Shenyuan's pause was frightening.
"What's more, confessing the facts and bearing compensation, this is what you should do, is it possible that I still want to take this as a reward?" When Gu Shenyuan said the second half of the sentence, his tone changed significantly.
Dancui knew that her own lady was really in trouble this time.
Xia Zhiyi crawled to Gu Shenyuan on his knees, wanting to beg, but he didn't dare to grab his clothes, and his hands kept shaking in the air.
"Your Highness, I am willing to do more things to make up for it, Boss Jiang, is there any place where I can be used by the disaster victims, even if you ask, I can donate money to work, and Xinyuan Pavilion, I can help you work......"
Gu Shenyuan took a deep breath, too many things had already happened this morning, and he wanted to be quiet for a while now.
"No need to play it anymore, I'm just the prince now, I can't interfere in matters involving officials, I will tell my father the truth about this matter, you go home honestly and listen to the holy will."
After finishing speaking, he strode out of Jishitang, Xia Zhiyi climbed a long way, and wanted to intercede for himself, but he couldn't catch up at all.
At the same time, Gu Shenyuan's departure did not give Jiang Ruanyan a chance to speak.
Watching His Royal Highness walk away, Xia Zhiyi knew that he had made a big disaster, but he didn't know what to do, so he fainted in a hurry.
Jiang Qing stepped forward to take the pulse, and it was no big deal, and asked Dancui to take her back to the Xia Mansion.
Jiang Chen also hurriedly pushed the girl back to the side room to rest, everyone had time, calm down and ask Jiang Qing what happened?
"Actually, it's nothing, when I checked it yesterday, I did find a burn on the girl's throat. It's just that when she woke up this morning, she asked me to keep it a secret. ”
"Why?" Jiang Shutong was very anxious.
She is also a person with an older brother and can feel her brother's love for her. Presumably in the wing room, when the girl saw Ding Yi, there must have been a lot of emotions in her heart.
But why does she have to keep it a secret in front of her dependent relatives?
Jiang Qing sighed lightly, "Maybe it's because of the past few days in Xia Mansion that she has completely figured out Xia Zhiyi's personality, so she wants to leave a life talisman for herself." ”
This explanation also makes sense to everyone.
It wasn't the girl's own words, but it was. With Xia Zhiyi's style of doing things, everyone can't
It's hard to guess, Cong Xia Mansion must have started to investigate the whereabouts of this girl since last night, investigating Jishitang, if she learned that the girl was not poisoned and dumb, then how could she come to Jishitang this morning so arrogantly to ask for someone?
It is impossible to admit in front of so many people what she has done.
However, this is not what Bingyue is worried about, what she is more worried about now is Jiang Ruanyan.
After Gu Shenyuan left, Bingyue noticed that Jiang Ruanyan had not been quite right, and her face was sad, as if she was in trouble.
"Soft words, what's wrong with you?"
was suddenly called, Jiang Ruanyan was still a little confused, "Oh, it's nothing, I'm just thinking about this matter." ”
She was obviously absent-minded when she spoke, and everyone looked at her, no one spoke, waiting for her to tell the truth herself.
Looking at Jiang Qing's eyes, Jiang Ruanyan couldn't hold on.
"Okay, I'm thinking about the store, as far as the matter of destroying the reputation of the Heart Yuan Pavilion is concerned, I hope to be able to solve it privately, after all, our current store is still rented from Xia Zhiyi."
She lowered her head and played with her fingers, not wanting to be seen as unconscionable.
