Chapter 123: Evidence
Early the next morning, when Shi Ke and Shi Peng went to knock on the door of the courtyard, Zhuqing immediately opened it.
Seeing her expression, she was eager to try, not only did she not feel the slightest uneasiness about what the second aunt was about to suffer, but she was like an indignant righteous person waiting for the criminal to be caught.
Zhu Qing led the two of them in, and before they could speak, she actively said: "Third Young Master, Seventh Miss, you wait here for a while, and I will call the second aunt!" ”
"This bamboo green is really eating the grass on the wall inside and outside." Shi Ke looked at Zhu Qing's back and sneered at Shi Qingqian with cold eyes. Don't look at him on the surface that he has nothing to say about Zhu Qing's actions, but in his heart he is disgusted with such an unfaithful servant.
Shi Qingqian nodded, "But in this matter, Zhu Qing can also be regarded as a meritorious person." ”
She knew that even if she said so, Shi Ke and her father would not open up to Zhuqingwang because of this, and of course she didn't think about begging for mercy for her.
The second aunt couldn't sleep for a long time last night because of Shi Peng's matter, and she didn't fall asleep until the third watch, so Shi Ke and Shi Qingqian came directly to the side courtyard without saying hello, and the second aunt must still be asleep.
The two waited for a short time, and suddenly Shi Yuan's voice came from outside the courtyard gate behind them.
I saw that he took the eldest lady and a few servants, and broke into the side courtyard in a hurry, and when he saw Shi Ke and Shi Qingqi, the expression on his face softened slightly, but the tone was unchanged and stern: "Ah Ke, Qi'er, what about the slut Liu's people!?" ”
These days, Shi Yuan has been going out early and returning late, and the things in the court are enough to exhaust him, so the eldest lady and the brother and sister did not rush to inform Shi Yuan about Zhuqing's second aunt yesterday evening.
When Shi Yuan woke up this morning, the doctor was willing to tell him about it, so he sent the little servant to the palace to take leave, and he didn't even have time to use breakfast, so he rushed over with someone.
Seeing this, Shi Qingqian ran over and hugged Shi Yuan's arm, "Daddy is not in a hurry, the second aunt will clean up in the house, she can't run anyway." ”
Listening to Shi Qing's glutinous voice, Shi Yuan was afraid that his appearance would frighten her, so he hurriedly picked her up and gently comforted her, "Good girl, Daddy didn't scare you, right?" ”
"Daddy won't scare you," When Shi Qingqian spoke, the second aunt had already hurriedly put on her clothes, and as soon as she walked out, she saw the formation in the courtyard, and she hadn't fully woken up, so she couldn't react to what was happening for a while.
Shi Qingqian glanced at the second aunt who was stunned on the steps, turned her head and continued to say to Shi Yuan: "No matter what Daddy does, it's for the good of Qi'er, and Qi'er is not afraid." On the contrary, there are some people who are kind on the surface, but behind the scenes, they want to put their children to death...... I'm afraid I can't hide from it. ”
Shi Qingqian's words were very conspicuous referring to the second aunt and Shi Peng's mother and daughter, Shi Yuan heard this, his eyes were cold, and he yelled at the second aunt who was stunned: "What, do you want us to go up and invite you!?" ”
"Ah......" The second aunt heard Shi Yuan's voice, and only then did she react, and she was about to go down the stairs when she took a step, but because she was too flustered, she stepped on a step empty, and her posture was ugly and she threw herself on the ground.
She didn't have time to pat the soil, so she hurriedly got up and knelt down at Shi Yuan's feet.
"The concubine body sees the lord and the eldest lady! The concubine ...... "The second aunt didn't dare to raise her head, she hated to bury her whole face in the soil, "See the third young master, the seventh miss!" ”
The eldest lady, who was standing half a distance from Shi Yuan's body, stepped forward and glared at the second aunt, as soon as she saw her, she would think of the sins that Shi Qingqian had suffered, her eyes were slightly red, and she said sharply: "You slut, why do you want to harm my son-in-law!" ”
"What?" When death came, the second aunt pretended to have an expression of disbelief and great grievance, "The concubine doesn't dare!" ”
Shi Ke snorted coldly, he was not interested in watching the second aunt sing, "Why don't you ask first, what did Zhuqing behind you give me yesterday?" ”
The second aunt is not a fool, so there is no need to say much at this time. She turned her head sharply to glare at Zhuqing, but met her provocative gaze, "Zhuqing! I've treated you badly over the years! ”
"Naturally, there isn't." Zhu Qing pretended to be innocent, "But the slave maid can't watch you and the fourth girl do evil to the seventh miss." ”
"You're crazy!" The second aunt shouted heartbreakingly, her eyes were already full of killing intent towards Zhuqing at this time, she never expected that the maid who had been with her for so many years would become a lackey at such a juncture!
Shi can see that she is still so energetic, and said angrily: "I think it's you who is crazy!" ”
Shi Yuan sent Shi Qingqi in his arms to the arms of the eldest lady, and stretched out his hand to signal Shi Ke to retreat, "Come on, give me this slut to overwhelm the lobby, and wait for the little prince Shen to come to interrogate!" ”
After all, Shi Yuan is the marquis of a country, and when he sorted out the situation in the early morning, he immediately sent a little servant to the Yan Wang's Mansion, asking Shen Xiaowang to bring Shi Peng to the Hou Mansion together.
As the saying goes, 'family ugliness should not be publicized', Shi Yuan thought, after all, it is a matter in his own family, and the solution of this matter must be in his own home.
"Prepare to be punished with your good daughter, you slut!"
Before Shi Qingqian was violently driven away by the eldest lady, he only had time to see the empty and desperate look on the second aunt's face.
She really couldn't fight Shi Qingqian, and now in such a situation, she couldn't even say a word of justification, so she could only let her subordinates drag her like a straw for mistakes......
Soon after arriving in the lobby, Shen Shu walked in with the guards and Shi Peng, who was chained in chains.
Shi Peng's body was intact, except that his face was a little haggard, and he didn't seem to be injured. Shi Qing said in his heart, Shen Shu was quite 'merciful and cherished', and he didn't let her suffer too much flesh and skin.
"Master Hou, yesterday the king tried it overnight, and the criminal Shi Peng admitted that he had murderous intentions, but he did not admit that she did it." Shen Shu went straight to the point, without saying too many polite words, he glanced at Chang Wu beside him, and Chang Wu held a book and handed it to Shi Yuan, "This is Shi Peng's confession." ”
The second aunt on the ground began to cry, she wanted to rush over to see Shi Peng, but she was bet on by the little girl, and she couldn't move at all.
Shi Qingqian noticed the eye contact between the mother and daughter, but she didn't find the slightest remorse, the kind of grievance and dissatisfaction in their eyes made her very unhappy, so she opened her mouth to interrupt the eye contact between the two, "Second aunt don't have to worry so much, the fourth sister didn't even suffer a little bit of flesh and skin, and it was much better than what I suffered before." ”
Shi Ke understood the grievances in Shi Qingqian's heart, so he stroked her head, and said to Shi Peng: "Shen Xiaowang is thinking that you are a person from my Hou Mansion, and you are exempt from the board, how can you still be so ignorant?" ”
"This king doesn't need to be punished, but because she is a member of your Hou Mansion, punish the people in the Hou Mansion, and this king should not exceed the rules." Shen Shu hurriedly explained, showing that he was not sympathetic, but out of the word rules.
"Ahem," on the other side, Shi Yuan simply looked at the confession submitted by Changwu twice, twisted his beard, and said, "I can't allow her to disown it now, Shoude, bring the things!" ”
He wanted to see what kind of flowers this powerful mother and daughter could say!
