Chapter 103, the fox and the tiger
When she said this, she deliberately looked at Zhao Rongxian pitifully.
Yes, after Chen Qinglan was beaten by Zhao Rongxian, she knew that Zhao Rongxian looked down on her, but she knew very well that if Zhao Rongxian was cuckolded by me and lost face, she would have to beat me to death.
Zhao Rongxian's face became even more gloomy, and Chen Qinglan's eyes immediately appeared with a hint of joy.
Mrs. Wei also stood on the side with a weird yin and yang, as if she kindly reminded, "The fourth prince, it's not that the courtiers are talkative, our Wei family's family affairs, and the four princesses are also here to get involved." Everyone knows that the fourth princess has been married to the seventh child of our family, even if it is nothing, if she is called such nonsense, there will be gossip. ”
The implication of this is that since it is emphasizing that I have been married to my cousin, he is scolding me for being nosy, saying that Zhao Rongxian can't control me.
So, is she using the way of others to govern others?
I'm in this world!
I secretly glanced at Zhao Rongxian, he was obviously very unhappy, we have quarreled a lot in the past few days, and now I came behind his back, I think it was Mama Chen who told him, he was afraid that I would really make trouble, so he followed.
In the past, I was naturally scared to see his gloomy face, but at this moment, I knew very well that no matter how ugly his face was, no matter how unhappy he was in his heart, he couldn't beat me to death.
As a result, I appear unscrupulous.
I stretched out my hand and grabbed his arm, smiling softly, "Lord, have you promised others that my family will be your family in the future, and now my cousin has been wronged in vain, and this dignified court official actually let people lynch him, so unfair!" Please also ask the prince to call the shots for his cousin! ”
Seeing me so flattering, Zhao Rongxian was a little unaccustomed, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, he lowered his eyes and glared at me, "Okay, don't mess around!" A woman's house, all day long, what kind of system does it become to jump up and down? ”
"What did you say? I have never set foot in the Wei Mansion on weekdays, but they came to our Bai family early this morning and took my cousin away! Everyone in this Wei Mansion is so fierce, but the concubine is frightened! I grabbed his sleeve and pretended to be pitiful and said, "Fang Cai, they are still bullying me together, if the prince doesn't come, the concubine will let this Wei Mansion be bullied miserably!" ”
The concubine just wanted to prove her cousin's innocence, but the concubine didn't speak much, so they targeted the concubine one by one and slandered the concubine. Still...... also said that the concubine body is relying on you, the prince, and said that the concubine body is a fox and a fake tiger! ”
"The fourth princess is going to talk nonsense, just now which of us has said these things!" When Mrs. Wei saw that the more she talked, she immediately panicked a little, and she was even more annoyed.
Yes, she really didn't say that I was a fox and a fake tiger, but that's what she meant.
"Mrs. Wei didn't directly say that I was a fox and a fake tiger, but Mrs. Wei, you said that I was so shameless as the fourth prince, and I excused other men, and I don't know what the fourth prince would think when he saw it?" I rubbed aggrievedly beside Zhao Rongxian, and repeated what Mrs. Wei had just scolded me word for word.
Mrs. Wei's face immediately turned red, and in front of so many people, she couldn't deny it.
Seeing this, Wei Shangshu hurriedly apologized to Zhao Rongxian and said, "Fourth prince, I don't mean to insult the four princesses, it's just that our Wei family is dealing with family affairs today." The four princesses came to make trouble, and the lady was in a hurry, so she didn't choose to speak. ”
"Yes, yes......" Mrs. Wei also laughed.
Zhao Rongxian glanced at me again, and said angrily, "Did you hear it, this is someone else's family matter, what are you messing about?" I know how to make trouble! Go and rest! ”
Zhao Rongxian's reaction, is he angry?
I breathed a sigh of relief!
But Chen Qinglan didn't think so, seeing Zhao Rongxian glaring at me, she seemed to be sure that Zhao Rongxian just listened to her instigation, so she got angry.
Her eyes were red, and she knelt on the ground with a pop, "Please the fourth prince must be the master of the people's daughter!" My cousin once married my cousin, so it is inevitable that I will be biased......"
However, Zhao Rongxian didn't look at her, bypassed him directly, walked straight to the side of the main seat in the hall, and sat down unhurriedly.
Wei Shangshu and Mrs. Wei thought that Zhao Rongxian was going to take me away, but when they saw Zhao Rongxian not only not leaving, but also sat down, they had the intention of upholding justice.
Wei Shangshu and Mrs. Wei's faces suddenly froze, and Mrs. Wei was even more confused, and asked tentatively, "What does this mean by the fourth prince?" ”
"Wei Shangshu said just now, this is a family matter of the Wei Mansion, and this king should not be in charge. But this seventh prince of Wei is the cousin of the princess, and he is also a relative of this king. Mrs. Wei's eldest daughter, Wei Guifei, is the king's concubine, and she is also a family. So, this king is not an outsider, and since this king is here today, he happened to see it, so he wants to let this matter come to a truth, right? Zhao Rongxian smiled, but he was obviously hiding a knife in his smile.
Before Wei Shangshu and Mrs. Wei could react, he immediately ordered Liang Feng again, "Come on, bring someone up." ”
With that, he beckoned me to sit next to him.
I sat beside Zhao Rongxian in confusion and asked him in a low voice, "Lord Wang, who is it?" ”
"You'll find out in a moment." As he spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Wei meaningfully.
After a while, a maid and a scholar were brought in.
I recognize that maid, it's none other than Chen Qinglan's maid.
And the scholar, look at Mrs. Wei's face...... It seems to be someone from the Wei Mansion.
Could it be that Chen Qinglan is pregnant, and Mrs. Wei's ...... Son related!
"Say it yourself......" Zhao Rongxian's eyes were cold, and he looked at the two people kneeling on the ground seriously.
The maid cried and cried, saying that their young lady had an affair with the second son of the Wei family, but the wife of the second son of the Wei family was Jiang Chunhua, the sister of Prime Minister Jiang Cheng.
That Jiang Chunhua is extremely spicy, and he relies on his brother to be the prime minister, so he will never allow the second eldest of the Wei family to take a concubine. The second child of the Wei family is also afraid of his wife, so he refuses to admit that he has a good relationship with Chen Qinglan, if Chen Qinglan makes trouble, he will take Chen Qinglan's life.
This Chen Qinglan was scared for a while, and she was unwilling, so she wanted to splash dirty water on her cousin, and by the way, she stepped on her cousin to find the second child of the Wei family unhappy.
Subsequently, the scholar of the second child of the Wei family also gave an explanation, and explained the time and place of the tryst between the second child of the Wei family and Chen Qinglan clearly.
Now Mrs. Wei was dumbfounded, she was stunned for a moment, pointed at the scholar and the maid and scolded, "Slander and slander!" These are slanders! Fourth prince, you can't slander my son for the sake of defending your own family! My son is innocent......"
"Yes, Fourth Prince, you ...... You can't slander someone just because you love your cousin! Chen Qinglan also panicked for a while, and while crying, she pointed at the maid with her teeth and claws and scolded, "You dog thing who sells for glory, you say, who made you do this!" Isn't it...... Isn't it...... Did the Fourth Princess let you do this! ”
Chen Qinglan was really panicked, and she actually said that I slandered her right away.
I didn't even know who the baby was in her womb, so I slandered her? Where did I get that much ability? What about the prophets I have not yet known?
Looking at Chen Qinglan and Mrs. Wei, who were madly abusing me, I couldn't help laughing, "I said two, I didn't find this scholar and maid, but I wondered, why did I frame it for no reason?" ”
"This person was found by the fourth prince, according to what you mean, the fourth prince still has to go to great lengths to frame the two?"
Hearing this, both of them were stunned, but Mrs. Wei was still unwilling, and she said angrily, "Why do you say that this child is Jingde, it is Jingde'......"
"Then why do you say that this child is a cousin's, and it is a cousin's!"
"The girls of the Chen family have said that they are the seventh, naturally they are the seventh, and any girl will joke about her innocence." Mrs. Wei has a point.
But it just so happens that she, Chen Qinglan, is not the kind of person who takes innocence too seriously.
Originally, I thought that in this life, I would not violate the river water with her well water, but she wanted to bully her cousin! Then I had to be ruthless.
I sneered, and said in a strange air, "Other girls are easy to say, but my cousin is not easy to say......"
"Bai Huanxi, don't slander me!" Chen Qinglan opened her mouth and wanted to scold me, but she was looked back by Zhao Rongxian, she knelt on the ground very aggrieved, and cried vigorously.
I was so upset that I simply pierced her false face.
"Okay, cousin, who is this pretending to be? As soon as I returned to the door on the third day of my wedding, you went to our Baifu and the prince in the name of going to our relatives to scratch your head and make a gesture, who are you innocent to show now? I looked at her deeply and sneered, "Besides, there is an innocent girl who has made her belly bigger before she left the cabinet." ”
"By the way, Lord Wang, did this cousin still flatter you before?" I immediately asked Zhao Rongxian again.
Chen Qinglan was even more scared at the moment, her body was already trembling a little.
She looked at Zhao Rongxian's gaze and even begged a little, but who is Zhao Rongxian? For people he hates, he has always been cold and ruthless, and it can even be said that he is vicious and ruthless.
He frowned slightly, thoughtfully, "It seems that there is such a thing, but this king is not interested in those who take the initiative to send it to the door." ”
"I didn't think about it, this Miss Chen family couldn't send people to the Four Princes' Mansion, and she was sent to Shangshu Mansion instead, this is really interesting!" Zhao Rongxian chuckled and looked at Wei Shangshu mockingly.
Wei Shangshu is an old fox who has been in the officialdom for many years, seeing Mrs. Wei's look, and thinking that Mrs. Wei just said that this matter was done by her cousin, Wei Shangshu had already guessed a few points.
His face was gloomy to the extreme, and he said sharply, "Someone! Bring me! ”
"Sir...... Master, master, you can't listen to their nonsense, Jingde is a good boy......"
"Shut up!" Wei Shangshu's face was extremely ugly, and with an angry reprimand, Mrs. Wei immediately shut up.
Zhao Rongxian leaned lazily on the chair and added, "Wei Shangshu, this matter, it's good to figure it out." Originally, the king of your Wei Mansion didn't want to take care of it, but if you talk about the foolish case you handled, if you really wronged the Seventh Prince, you will lose a pillar of the country in vain! ”
"Four Princes......"
"Mrs. Wei is not in a hurry, this king dares to be so sure, naturally it is also evidence." Seeing that Mrs. Wei wanted to speak again, Zhao Rongxian immediately interrupted her and said unhurriedly.
"Mrs. Wei, you keep saying that this Chen family girl's child is the seventh son, but it is just by virtue of the Chen family's girl's words, this Chen family girl's character is not good, and her words are not credible. In everything, we still have to talk about evidence. ”
"Someone, please come in."
As soon as Zhao Rongxian's words fell, a white-bearded old man walked in.
Zhao Rongxian smiled at him, pointed to Chen Qinglan who was kneeling on the ground, and ordered, "Doctor Zhou, take a look, how many months has this girl had in her womb?" ”
After a while, Dr. Zhou replied to Zhao Rongxian, "Back to the prince, this girl is three months pregnant. ”
"Seventh Prince, where were you three months ago?" Zhao Rongxian rolled his eyes and looked at my cousin leisurely.
Seeing that this matter had become like this, my cousin didn't seem to have any intention of speaking for Chen Qinglan, he straightened up and said solemnly, "Back to the prince, Weichen was in Qinzhou three months ago, supervising the construction of the canal on the Qinzhou Mountain, the people of Yunxian County, Qinzhou know about this matter, and there are many villagers who can testify for Weichen." ”
"A month ago, Weichen went back to Chen's house to visit his grandmother. Later, Qinglan's cousin said that she was uncomfortable and asked Weichen to accompany her for a drink, but Weichen didn't think much about it at that time. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he ran to Qinglan's cousin's house! But Weichen was sure that Weichen was drugged with sweat at that time and slept very dead, so it was impossible to do anything to Cousin Qinglan! ”
Chen Qinglan is also funny, she is three months pregnant, and she stunned her cousin with sweat medicine a month ago, thinking that this way she can set up a blame?
Now this doctor has also been invited, and my cousin was not in Chang'an City three months ago, and there are ironclad human and physical evidence.
Chen Qinglan didn't dare to say anything at the moment, only cried on the side.
Mrs. Wei also didn't dare not speak with a white face, and after a while, Wei Jingde, the second eldest member of the Wei family, also brought over, as soon as he saw Chen Qinglan and saw this posture again, Wei Jingde also understood what was going on.
He drooped his head and walked up to Wei Shangshu tremblingly, "Daddy......"
"Brute!!" Wei Shangshu was so angry that he almost trembled.
After telling us outsiders to see so many jokes today, can he not tremble?
Zhao Rongxian also doesn't like to see the excitement of other people, and when he saw that the matter was almost resolved, he pulled me up and sighed, "Okay Wei Shangshu, since the truth has been revealed, presumably Wei Shangshu should be treated equally, and no one will be wronged, nothing else, this king will leave first." ”
"Cousin, let's go, let's have tea!" Before the Wei family could react, he immediately called my cousin again.
My cousin immediately got up and glanced at Chen Qinglan deeply. Presumably he was also worried about Chen Qinglan, if he wasn't worried about Chen Qinglan, maybe he would have poured out Chen Qinglan's pickled things a long time ago.
It's just a relative. I can't watch Chen Qinglan die.
So he stopped, looked back at Wei Shangshu with a smile and said again, "Lord Wei, although this Chen Qinglan is not ashamed, in the end, she is also pregnant with the child of your Wei family, and in her belly is your own grandson." In any case, please ask the Wei family to treat Chen Qinglan well. ”
"If Chen Qinglan loses her life for no reason, I will go to the government to sue you......"
"You ......" Wei Shangshu was so angry that he couldn't speak, and Mrs. Wei stomped her feet in anger.
But I didn't look at them, I went straight outside, and cautiously followed Zhao Rongxian's side, and my cousin also walked beside me.
He was very embarrassed and said to Zhao Rongxian, "Today's matter, Wei has to thank his cousin-in-law......
Hearing his cousin's words, Zhao Rongxian was slightly stunned, in the past, his cousin was reluctant to call his brother-in-law.
Now that he is willing to do this, he has let go of his heart?
Zhao Rongxian and I glanced at each other and smiled kindly, "Cousin is polite, they are all family, they should be." ”
"It's just cousin, sometimes people can't be too soft-hearted." Zhao Rongxian glanced at his cousin deeply, and said again.
The cousin smiled, but did not speak again.
As he spoke, he had already walked to the carriage.
Zhao Rongxian and I sat in the same carriage, and my cousin sat in my car alone.
As soon as I got into the carriage, only Zhao Rongxian and I were left in the narrow space, and his kind eyes outside became gloomy as soon as he entered the door.
He crossed his arms and stared at me coldly, as if he wanted me to say something.
Seeing that I didn't speak, he moved closer to me and smiled, "You don't have anything to explain to me?" ”
Interpretation? What am I going to explain to him?
Although he helped his cousin, it was not the same thing as him thinking about Yunxiu all the time, one yard to one yard.
I shook my head, calm, "No, what does the prince want to be a concubine?" ”
"Where did you get such a big temper? Running away from home at every turn, you and I are easy to find? "Zhao Rongxian saw that I didn't want to admit my mistake, so I had to say it, intending to make me admit it.
But I don't think there's anything wrong with me, and I still feel cold when I think about those things.
I smiled bitterly and looked at him with extreme mockery, "The prince has sent people to keep an eye on the concubine all the time, and he still needs to find a scolding?" ”
"Mama Chen was worried about you, so she came to me." Zhao Rongxian's face turned dark, and he was a little displeased, "You said you, you are a girl's family, what are you going to go to the Shangshu Mansion to fool in?" ”
"Then all the people in Shangshu Mansion are jackals, tigers and leopards, how can they be their opponents?"
Zhao Rongxian: Are you worried about me? He was always worried about me, but I don't know if he was really worried about me or if it was just because I was his obsession.
But no matter what it is, I won't love him with all my heart, and there is nothing bad about An An being a clever and competing fourth princess.
I shook my head and looked at him pretending to be flattering, "What if the people in the Wei Mansion are jackals, tigers and leopards?" Can they compare with you? They're jackals, tigers and leopards, aren't you lions? Or a dragon in the water? ”
It's very strange, I used to shoot sycophants, but the shooting was extraordinarily fake, but this time, I didn't feel awkward at all.
Zhao Rongxian is probably used to seeing me acting like heaven and earth on weekdays, and seeing that I am so flattering, he seems a little unaccustomed, looks at me in amazement for a moment, and then says, "I said concubine, when did you become like this and be able to speak?" ”
"The concubine has always been very good at talking...... I looked up at him, stretched out my hand and gently hooked his neck, and chuckled, "The prince has helped so much today, and the concubine is also telling the truth." ”
"If the concubine hadn't brought out the prince today, I'm afraid that the Wei Mansion would not have been polite to the concubine."
"If the prince doesn't arrive, this matter can't be solved so easily."
"Well, you know it's because of me?" Zhao Rongxian glanced at me, and his expression was fierce, "Do you know that you dare to run away from home?" Because of what happened last night, you were so angry? I have already said that Princess Yunxiu has kindness to the Northern Dynasty, and this king always can't treat her lightly. ”
Hehe, it's this sentence again.
Hearing Zhao Rongxian's words, my mood was extremely gloomy for a while.
But this time, I didn't show half of my anger, I only asked him with a smile, "Does the prince really think that Princess Yunxiu is kind to you?" ”
"What does the princess want to say?"
"It's nothing, just ask...... "I spread my hands, pretending to be extremely indifferent."
At this time, it is not the time to talk to Zhao Rongxian about this.
So, I didn't say anything, just leaned into Zhao Rongxian's arms.
After a while, the carriage stopped.
"Lord, what's going on, where have you been?" As soon as I stepped out of the carriage, I saw Princess Yunxiu rushing out, looking like a hostess, and the moment she saw me, her face froze and she was a little stunned.
She didn't think that I wouldn't come back if I left?
