Chapter 145: Twenty Boards
"The king is asking you something." Xiao Pan is not angry but mighty. But the maid trembled like a sieve, and did not dare to say a word.
An Pingbo played a round from it, "Maybe this maid was greedy for a while and stole the jade pendant, but she was afraid of being punished, so she deliberately found a place to throw it away." An Pingbo accompanied the smiling face, because this matter has been tossed for a few hours, he can't wait to end it quickly, if the maid does it is easy to do, he can punish it, and then drive out of the house, it can be regarded as an explanation.
Xiao Pan raised his eyes, his face sinking like water, "If it is a whim, and then afraid, it should be thrown away, the front yard is so far away from this west wing, how can it be deliberately thrown here?" ”
Xiao Pan's eyes were warning An Pingbo, and he had just said more. After all, An Pingbo has been an official for many years, although he is low, but this bit of face can still be seen, so he naturally closed his mouth and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Xiao Pan knew the concerns in the maid's heart, so he said leisurely: "If you invite you truthfully, this king may be able to spare your life, if you insist on not saying it, then this king can only hand you over to the eldest prince." You should know the importance of that jade pendant to the eldest prince, and how the eldest prince will punish you at that time, I'm afraid it's hard to say. ”
Xiao Pan's tone was relaxed, but he pressed the maid's heart deeply, "Lord Wang, I said, I said, yes...... It was Aunt Hua who instructed the slaves. ”
Aunt Hua was shocked, "You, you dare to talk nonsense and frame me, it seems that you are tired of living." Aunt Hua pulled her voice, as if the louder her voice, the more credible her words became.
Seeing that Aunt Hua denied it, Fang Cai had no intention of relieving her, and the maid was also ruthless, looking up at Xiao Pan with teary eyes, "Lord Mingjian, it was Aunt Hua who said that she wanted the slave to put the jade pendant in the princess's room, and said that in front of the eldest prince, the slave and maid just obeyed orders." ”
"It's clear that you, a cheap, got rich and put the blame on my head?" Aunt Hua still refuses to admit it.
Chu Qingli stepped forward and looked Aunt Hua up and down, as if she was watching a joke, "What's the matter?" Do you dare to do it? ”
"What don't you dare? Why should I admit something I haven't done at all? Although Aunt Hua said so, her clenched fists exposed the fear in her heart.
Chu Qingli reached out and grabbed Aunt Hua's arm, and raised it to the position on her chest, "Auntie, don't be nervous, it's all a family, do you have something to say?" ”
Chu Qingli exerted force in his arm, causing Aunt Hua to let go of her palm, Chu Qingli looked down, "Yo, auntie, why are you sweating so much in your palms, it only rained yesterday, and the weather is not hot today?" Chu Qingli pretended to be concerned and looked at Aunt Hua, and when Aunt Hua saw her knowingly asking, she had to grit her teeth.
"So far, if my aunt doesn't admit it, there's no way, this maid has been with my aunt for a long time, if it weren't for my aunt's orders, how could she be bold enough to steal the prince's jade pendant, I knew that this thing can't be pawned in my hand, are you a fool for her?" Chu Qing pressed Aunt Hua step by step, and Aunt Hua could only retreat step by step.
Chu Qingyun was filial, and pushed Chu Qingli away, "What evidence do you have that my mother instigated?" ”
Chu Qingli spread out his hands, "Isn't this something you understand?" Could it be that Qingyun's younger brother is still a black and white person? Just now, your mother said that you are working under the eldest prince, if he knows that your mother has done such a thing, but you are still so maintained, I don't know what the eldest prince will think at that time? Will they still use you so much? Well? Chu Qingli hooked his lips and smiled, it was as bright as Qinghui, but it was a little dangerous, so Chu Qingyun didn't know what to say.
An Pingbo watched from the sidelines, anxious in his heart, and when he knew that it was the maid who did it, he knew that he had nothing to do with Aunt Hua. Now I have to let go of my face and beg Xiao Panwang to open up.
An Pingbo knelt in front of Xiao Pan, Chu Qingli was startled at first, after all, he was an elder, but Xiao Pan remained silent, Xiao Pan had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he had already practiced the ability to not show his heart, if someone knew what he was thinking, it would be to tell others about his weakness.
"Sir!"
"Daddy!"
Aunt Hua and Chu Qingyun spoke at the same time, even if Xiao Pan was the prince, after all, An Pingbo was his elder, how could he kneel down and plead with him.
"You two shut up." If he didn't want to keep their mother and son, how could he show his old face and kneel down to his son-in-law?
Xiao Pan chuckled, "Father-in-law, what is this doing?" Although Xiao Pan shouted to his father-in-law, he did not feel panicked because he knelt down.
"Lord Wang, the insiders are confused, for the sake of the family, you have a lot of adults, spare her, I will definitely discipline her strictly in the future." An Pingbo looked at Xiao Pan and pleaded hard.
Chu Qingli watched from the side, disdainful and chilling, how many sins she and Chu Qinghan had suffered since childhood, and they didn't listen to An Pingbo's maintenance, but now it's good, Xiao Pan hasn't said anything, and his knees are weak. Will you discipline her well in the future, Aunt Hua said three or two sentences, didn't An Pingbo listen to her obediently?
"But I just heard from my aunt that she has clear rewards and punishments, and it just so happens that I am too." Xiao Pan's smile seemed to be adulterated with poison, which made people tremble when they looked at it.
When An Pingbo heard that he was going to be punished, he couldn't help but stumble a little, "That'...... How will the prince punish her? ”
An Pingbo swallowed his saliva, his eyes looked at Xiao Pan without blinking, I don't know what will come out of his mouth? I heard that Xiao Pan was in the army at that time, and he was decisive in killing, and he was never soft even when he treated his subordinates, so that the military discipline in the military camp was strict.
Xiao Pan's eyebrows furrowed, pretending to be thinking, and he didn't speak for a long time. This Aunt Hua's mother and son and An Pingbo are all breathing a sigh of relief, waiting for Xiao Pan's words.
"For the sake of Qing's relatives, let's play twenty boards each." Xiao Pan said that it was for the sake of Chu Qing's relatives, but the maid and Aunt Hua had the same punishment, isn't it slapping Aunt Hua's face, Aunt Hua is in Xiao Pan's opinion, but it is the same as the maid, it doesn't matter.
As soon as Xiao Pan's words came out, Chu Qingli heard a gasping sound, Chu Qingli looked at Aunt Hua, her face was already pale, without the slightest blood.
Twenty boards? Although she is not a young lady of the royal family, she has been pampered since she was a child, and after marrying into the Anping Bo Mansion, her fingers are not touching the spring water, and now she has to beat her 20 boards, how can she bear it?
"Twenty will not ......"
