Chapter 22: False accusations
It's a pity that he was disappointed to find that there was no such thing at all, Shen Ruowen didn't even raise her eyelids, not to mention anything abnormal.
However, Cai Baolin beside him looked at Shen Ruowen for a while after sitting down, and his eyes stayed on the agate hairpin above her head.
"This hairpin on Miss Shen's head is very chic."
Shen Ruowen touched it and nodded, "It's very chic." ”
"But how did the concubine hear that agate is a tribute from the heavenly family, how could Miss Shen use it fraudulently? I'm afraid this is not polite. ”
Her voice is not too loud, but now who is not waiting with her ears to see what confrontation the two have, Cai Ruoyun's words have been heard by many people.
Shen Ruowen was finally willing to turn her head and look at her, this woman really couldn't wait.
"Cai Baolin, don't talk nonsense, this agate hairpin is a reward from the palace, what's wrong."
Empress Jiang naturally wanted to stand up and defend Shen Ruowen at this time, just a concubine, compared to the prince's future, it is really not worth thinking about.
Cai Ruoyun looked panicked at this time: "The queen mother is angry, the hairpin on Miss Shen's head is not an ordinary agate, but a red agate produced in the northwest, which is extremely precious, and the concubine is just curious now." ”
Red onyx?
Hearing this, everyone sighed and exclaimed, red agate is the most precious one of agate, that is, the entire Xuan Dynasty has only produced one or two pieces from the northwest for a few years, and it has long been designated as a jewelry that only the Son of Heaven can enjoy.
And what is the place in the northwest, that is the foundation of the Shen family's army, and Shen Ruowen is the young master, it is indeed reasonable to use this good thing with his own young lady, but this red onyx is a royal tribute, and it is a crime of trespassing to use it without authorization.
As soon as she said this, even Empress Jiang didn't dare to cover it up, and peeked at the emperor with a gloomy face, if it was just ordinary jewelry, she didn't dare to bear this kind of trespassing.
"Sister-in-law, this agate was dedicated to the palace by you, what the hell is going on?"
Shen Ruowen took off the hairpin, this batch of jewelry was given to her by Cai Mao in Ling County, she was still strange and attentive at that time, but she didn't expect to wait for herself here.
"You said, this agate is a royal thing, and I can't see that you have a good eye for a mere concubine."
Cai Ruoyun was stunned, she didn't expect Shen Ruowen to still not say that this jewelry was given by Cai Mao, so her plan could not be further implemented.
"Although Ruoyun's status is low, she is also fortunate to have seen tributes in the mansion, why should Miss Shen be so mean and sarcastic about the identity of the concubine."
Shen Ruowen sneered, "Yes, I just don't look down on you, what identity do you deserve to see the tribute, Miss Ben thinks this is an ordinary agate, is it not as good as you?" ”
Shen Ruowen's current appearance is to bully others, and she can say things that belittle the identity of others, and those who can't get used to her have fallen into the ground.
"Miss Shen, this is a strong word, Cai Baolin is just pointing out the problem, you need to be so aggressive."
"In that case, let the treasure inspector come over to see if Miss Shen has used the agate that His Majesty can only use without authorization, if this is the case, the crime of trespassing is not a joke."
"Didn't anyone notice that this thing came from the northwest, the Shen family had monopolized the important town in the northwest for many years, and now any good things are sent to the general's mansion first, and even the tribute is dared to be swallowed privately, this is not going to put Your Majesty in your eyes......"
In the face of accusations from all sides, Shen Ruowen always sat there, it turned out that Cai Mao wanted to frame the Shen family with this kind of indiscriminate means, if he said now that this thing was sent by Cai Mao, a few people would be able to believe it, but I was afraid that it would become a bloody mouth and be bitten back.
"Sister-in-law, what the hell is going on?"
The crown prince and Fu Yuhao didn't expect such a thing to happen, the Northwest Army is already sensitive, and they have been arrogant and domineering for so many years, and if they are charged with this kind of disrespect to the emperor, they will definitely be impeached from time to time in the court in the future.
"Shen girl, is it that I and the Empress are too indulgent to you on weekdays, the Northwest Army is in charge of the important town in the north of the Xuan Dynasty, and countless ores are produced every year, but these things are from the treasury, and you can't move them."
Emperor Xuan, who had been silent, also looked at Shen Ruowen seriously, after all, this was not a matter of agate tribute, if the Shen family privately swallowed the things that should be paid to the imperial court, it would be a big problem.
"Your Majesty, it's just a hairpin, why bother to anger the Northwest Army, I said that it's not red onyx, and the courtiers don't even have this vision."
Her words have always been in her eyes, so that Emperor Xuan slammed the table, this girl actually spoke to herself in such a tone, it was really lawless.
"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense, admit your mistake to your father!"
The prince saw that Emperor Xuan was really angry, and hurriedly pulled Shen Ruowen to kneel down and ask for guilt.
"I'm not wrong, why plead guilty!"
Throwing off the prince's hand, Shen Ruowen looked at Cai Ruoyun next to her, with a cold chill at the corner of her mouth that did not match her age: "Since you are sure that this is a tribute red onyx, and you are determined to frame me, okay, I will prove my innocence to you, but you have to bear the fate of framing Miss Ben." ”
"I ....." Cai Ruoyun didn't have time to stop it, she was labeled as a framer by Shen Ruowen, and it was too late to refute it.
Shen Ruowen held the hairpin in her hand and pinched it hard, and when she unfolded it again, it was broken into pieces, and everyone was trembling, this Miss Shen family still had such a strong internal force to crush such a hard agate.
In the eyes of others, she just wanted to destroy the evidence, but the next moment, Shen Ruowen had already opened her palm to show everyone.
"Everyone knows that the reason why red agate is precious is because it is as hard as iron and dense as blood, now please open your eyes and see, this agate is red agate?"
Coming to Cai Ruoyun, Shen Ruowen was condescending, and opened her hand to let those pieces fall.
Cai Ruoyun hurriedly picked it up and took a look, where there was any texture, it seemed that it was indeed just ordinary red agate, not to mention that she was crushed so easily just now, and it could not be a hard red onyx.
"No way. How could it be ....." Cai Ruoyun also tried to rummage through a textured piece, how could this be, the father-in-law obviously gave the red onyx to Shen Ruowen.
"Cai Baolin, just now you kept insisting that Miss Ben was fraudulently using the tribute, I don't know how you got this confidence?"
"Miss Shen is angry, it's the concubine's clumsy eyes that are wrong, since it's not a red onyx, isn't it a ..... for the concubine to make a compensatory to you here?"
Shen Ruowen smiled, at this moment, she Shen Ruowen was the domineering lady of the General's Mansion.
"Who's asking for your compensation? Do you know what happens when you talk about it? You are messing with me, you just can't get along with the Shen family, you dare to talk nonsense when you touch the upper and lower mouths, and it's too cheap to pay a loss. ”
Cai Ruoyun didn't expect her to be so reluctant, looking around, the people who had just helped were afraid of being settled by Shen Ruoyun, where would anyone dare to touch the moldy head of this eldest lady.
As for the crown prince Fu Yuming, he was relieved when he knew that Shen Ruowen was wronged.
