Chapter 30: Confronting the court
Buckle ā
There was a regular knock on the door, which woke up the people who were reading books in the house, Xie Xionghui slowly put down the wolf pen in his hand and asked in the direction of the door, "What's the matter?" ā
I only heard the little guy answer: "Go back to the prince, it's recruited over there." ā
"What are you recruiting?" Xie Xionghui asked.
"This ......" The people outside hesitated for a moment and didn't say it directly.
Hearing this, Xie Xionghui frowned: "Come in and say!" ā
The man pushed open the door, then walked quickly to Xie Xionghui's side, leaned over to his ear and whispered.
"Call all the people concerned to the main hall first, and the king will arrive later." After listening, Xie Xionghui commanded with a frown.
Atrium ā
A group of people stood apart, quietly waiting for Xie Xionghui's arrival, everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts, some didn't know why, and some knew how to deal with it later.
After waiting for about a stick of incense, Xie Xionghui finally came late with someone.
"I think many of you have also inquired a lot before you came, and you know a little bit about the purpose of calling you here today, so this king will not talk nonsense. Come, bring people! ā
As soon as Xie Xionghui's words fell, a strong man dragged the dying Aunt Wu in, and the person was still in the center of the hall, and then retreated to the side in an orderly manner.
At this time, Aunt Wu still has the scenery of the past, her clothes are ragged, covered in blood and stains, after torture, she now has no strength to get up, she can only lie on the ground like no bones and moan and squirm, the women around her are only afraid, afraid that they will be implicated like her.
Xie Xionghui looked at Aunt Wu who was embarrassed below, and asked coldly: "Give you a chance one last time, and tell the truth and spare your life!" ā
"I say! I say! I was told to do it! ā
"Who?"
Aunt Wu hesitated, she looked at Xie Xionghui, and then at the people around her.
Seeing this, Xie Xionghui waved his hand, "It seems that you still don't want to say the person behind you, who is coming!" ā
"I say! Be! Miss Five told me to do this! She instructed me everything! I don't know anything! Aunt Wu was anxious, seeing that someone was about to come around with a family law, she opened up the source, and pointed at Huang Rong fiercely with her hand, wanting to clear up the relationship.
"The fifth lady resented Mrs. Ling for robbing her of her housekeeping rights, and let her be confined, and then she wanted to blackmail the concubine to help her do things. Rajah! Rajah! The concubine only knows this, and she has said it, the prince will let me die! ā
Seeing this, Huang Rong didn't panic, she had long expected that Aunt Wu was a soft bone, she couldn't hide her words, and sooner or later she would confess herself.
Hearing this, Xie Xionghui looked at Huang Rong on the side and asked, "Is there such a thing!" ā
Seeing that Xie Xionghui and the others were looking at her, she stepped forward and walked to the center of the hall and explained: "Please also ask the prince to know clearly, Rong'er didn't do these things!" ā
"You are talking nonsense, it was you who came to me in the first place, and the maids in my yard saw it!" Aunt Wu struggled to get up.
Huang Rong turned sideways and looked at her indifferently: "All the people in your courtyard are yours, how can you believe their words!" ā
"You!" Aunt Wu was so blocked by her words that she breathed in her throat, neither up nor down.
"What, Auntie, there's nothing to say?" Huang Rong smiled contemptuously.
Of course, Aunt Wu can't be reconciled, but she can't come up with evidence to correct Huang Rong now, so she can only hope for Xie Xionghui: "Lord Wang, what the concubine said is true!" As long as you find someone to confront you, you will know whether what the concubine said is true or false! ā
"Steward Sun, you personally bring someone to ask!" Hearing this, Xie Xionghui ordered.
Steward Sun ordered someone to call all the people in the courtyard of the two to the front hall, asked one by one, and only came in after a while to reply: "Back to the prince, I have asked, and they all said that they have not seen the fifth lady to find Aunt Wu!" ā
Listening to Steward Sun's words, Aunt Wu's eyes widened, obviously not believing what he said: "No, this is impossible!" She must have bought the people in my yard! Rajah! You can't just listen to others! Rajah! ā
"Bold!" Xie Xionghui slapped his big hand on the table and said angrily, "Until now, I haven't told the truth!" ā
"Nope! I'm telling the truth! It's all her, it's all me she wronged! Aunt Wu kept pointing at Huang Rong to argue.
Seeing this, Huang Rong knelt down with a "bang" and cried: "Rong'er doesn't know anything!" Rong'er didn't do anything! ā
It's really a play between two women, the noise makes people have a headache, the more Xie Xionghui listens, the more annoyed he becomes, he waved his hand and dropped the teacup, and the crying people below stopped.
For a moment, the hall was silent, there was not a sound, and the sound of needles falling could be heard.
Chen Yunling stood aside and watched the play for a while, and when he saw this situation, he knew that Aunt Wu's words alone would not be able to bring down Huang Rong, so he stepped forward with courage.
When everyone saw her coming out at this time, they couldn't help but admire her boldness, and wondered what she was paying attention to.
"The concubine has an idea, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
Xie Xionghui saw that this matter was also related to her, so he agreed: "Say! ā
Chen Yunling saluted and said slowly: "The concubine thinks that the aunt and the fifth lady have been arguing here without a result, but it is a waste of time, why don't you directly find the Taoist priest to confront you." ā
Xie Xionghui listened to it and felt that there was some truth in what she said, "Accurate!" ā
After speaking, he sent someone to arrest the Taoist priest, and as for Huang Rong and the others, they ordered people to watch and detain them separately.
After returning from the main hall, Chen Yunling did not feel relaxed.
When she woke up early today, she felt that her right eyelid kept beating, and she had a bad feeling all the time, but she didn't know what to say.
Seeing her sad look, Dou Rong was relieved: "Now the situation has fallen to our side, and it can only be dog-eat-dog over there, what's there to panic about!" ā
"Having said that, I always feel uneasy."
"Didn't the prince already send someone to find the Taoist priest? As long as the Taoist priest follows the young lady's orders, she will definitely be killed by Huang Rong, and she will not be able to tell even if she has ten mouths, and sooner or later she will be driven out of the house! ā
Chen Yunling listened, but still felt that he had overlooked something.
"How can you be sure that the prince will believe the words of the Taoist priest?" Chen Yunling asked.
Dou Rong thought for a moment, "How can you not believe it?" Then I won't believe the words of Miss Fifth and Aunt Wu. ā
"That's right, since the prince has begun to doubt, he must know something. However, Huang Rong is not a person who will sit still, how can she do nothing! ā
Hearing this, Dou Rong suddenly thought of something, "Ah! Miss, IāI seem to have forgotten something! ā
Dou Rong's words re-aroused Chen Yunling's uneasiness, "What do you think of, say it quickly!" ā
"That, that is, the day before yesterday, I heard that Chunyao's family was sick and went out......"
"Oh no, it's a trick! Why didn't you say it earlier! After listening to Dou Rong's words, Chen Yunling couldn't drink and knocked this girl to death, "Hurry up and send someone to find that Taoist priest!" ā
"Didn't the prince already send someone?" Bean paste was puzzled.
"You! Why are you so stupid! Chen Yun was anxious.
At this time, a female envoy suddenly came in and reported, "Miss, the companion next to the prince said that he has something important to look for you." ā
"Okay, I'll be right there!" Chen Yunling trembled and pointed at the bean paste, stunned that he didn't know what to say, and finally waited for her to take a look, and went out dejectedly.
Seeing that Chen Yunling was coming, the companion couldn't sit still, he saluted and hurriedly said: "Mrs. Ling, it's not good, just now the prince's people came back, saying that the Taoist priest is gone!" ā
"Sure enough!" Chen Yunling muttered, "Then what is the prince's plan over there!" ā
The companion scratched his head, "The prince just sent someone to find it, and the rest doesn't know." ā
"Okay, I got it." Chen Yunling said while thinking.
"By the way, the prince also said that he would come over later, saying that he had something to discuss." The companion read and said.
"yes, I see." Seeing that the words had been brought, he did not linger long, and after leaving the people, he went back to report the news.
Chen Yunling got the news here, and Huang Rong was no exception, only to see Chunyao enter the door with a happy face: "Miss, the Taoist priest has been disposed of, and now the prince has returned, and he is asking for guilt!" ā
When Huang Rong heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Even so, we can't take it lightly, the current situation is not good for us!" ā
"What do you mean, Miss?"
"We have to go to the prince now, only if we completely get rid of the relationship!"
After speaking, Huang Rong took Chunyao to find Xie Xionghui, and they talked for a long time, but they didn't know what to say.
At night, Chen Yunling finished everything and sat at the round table while drinking tea, waiting for Xie Jieyou's arrival.
It's just that two or three pots of tea have been drunk, and the person she was waiting for still hasn't appeared, so she can't drink it and stares at the cup in front of her in a daze, until someone finally comes when she is about to fall asleep.
Chen Yunling rubbed his eyes and stood up: "Lord Shizi, you are finally here." ā
Xie Jieyou stepped on Qinghui and came in, bringing a breeze, which made Chen Yunling sober up a lot, and smiled: "I'm sorry, some things have been delayed, and it has affected your rest." ā
"It's okay, the concubine is not tired, but she is a little bored after sitting for a long time."
Xie Jieyou found the chair beside her, pulled Chen Yunling to sit down, and then spoke: "In the afternoon, Huang Rong found his father and said that he voluntarily handed over the stewardship to prove his innocence. ā
"That's a good idea." Chen Yunling said with a smile. But let her go like this, the concubine always felt uncomfortable. ā
"What do you mean?" Xie Jieyou asked.
"Tomorrow, I have to trouble the prince to take the concubine to see the prince." Chen Yunling looked at Xie Jieyou and said firmly.
"It doesn't matter."
On the second day, the two really went to see Xie Xionghui, Chen Yunling knocked on the side and pointed at him, openly and secretly revealed that Aunt Wu and the eldest master had a lot of personal teaching, and Xie Xionghui was not stupid, so they ordered someone to investigate thoroughly, and sure enough, they found out that they were collecting money privately.
