Chapter 021 Punishment

Wu Meiniang saw Xiao Ke like this, and felt a little pain in her heart, although Xiao Ke and her did not have any intimate intersection, but her soft side appeared, and she only felt a pity.

"Tell me, Xiao Ke, what is the reason for you to do this?" She looked at Xiao Ke and asked with a lament, her bright eyes full of pity.

"Hehe, so that I can live a good life, so that my parents can also live a good life, so I did it, do you think I want to? No... I never wanted to, but I couldn't. ”

Xiao Ke sneered, and then said sadly, his face was sad, without the excitement when he struggled to speak just now, only the despair of resignation.

"In order to live, I had to steal, steal valuable things in the palace to make money, my life will be better, and my family's life will be better, so I have done a lot of wrong things, but I don't regret it."

Xiao Ke said stealing, and everyone looked at Xiao Ke in surprise, but they didn't expect the real murderer to be Xiao Ke. And Xiaolian was wronged.

"Zhu'er, go and stop your father-in-law from beating Xiaolian." Wu Meiniang woke up in shock, remembering that Xiaolian was still being punished, so she ordered Zhu'er to step forward to stop it.

When Zhu'er heard this, she immediately rushed out of the hall.

"Why did you frame Xiaolian?" Thinking of Xiaolian's innocent suffering, she felt a little guilty in her heart, knowing that it was not Xiaolian who did it, but she wanted Xiaolian to suffer.

But there was no way at that time, she didn't know who the real murderer was, so she had to follow Xiao Ke's meaning, that is, she was waiting for the real murderer to throw herself into the net.

"Xiaolian.. Hehe, Xiaolian is a cheap woman, always against me, making trouble for me, I warned her many times, but she didn't listen to me, I couldn't help it, I had to do that. ”

Xiao Ke said the reason for framing Xiaolian, and Wu Meiniang realized that it was some goosebumps trivial matter, but Xiao Ke hated it to this point, and Xiao Ke's heart was already distorted.

"Xiao Ke, you shouldn't be carried away by reputation and money, there are many things you shouldn't do, but you did it, and now you have committed so many crimes, you will be punished by the criminal law."

Wu Meiniang closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said helplessly, since the real murderer has been caught, then everything can be settled.

"Things have come to this point, I don't have the right to say anything more to intercede, you can kill me!" Xiao Ke smiled desperately and replied helplessly.

There was no trace of desire to survive on his face, and he looked at death like that, but his eyes flashed with pride, hiding an unhumiliating look.

"Mama, this matter has been investigated by the slave and maid, and Xiao Ke will be handed over to Mama to deal with." Wu Meiniang put away her sympathy, and then said to the rose.

Rose didn't speak, just looked at the whole development with cold eyes, and then touched her hand inscrutablely, and said seriously;

"Xiao Ke, I said before that as long as someone stands up and admits his mistake, then I don't care about it, and only give a light punishment, but not only did you not admit your guilt, but you planted the blame on others, and the sin is already very deep."

Rose said coldly, and her tone was a little cruel, which made everyone present feel bad, and Xiao Ke was about to face a big disaster.

"First beat you fifty boards, and then remove you from the laundry bureau, no longer the palace maid of the laundry bureau, the internal guard mansion will send you to the prison, and what awaits you is a lifetime of prison."

Rose said her punishment ruthlessly, and everyone was shocked, Rose should have been a kind person, but the punishment was so severe, everyone took a big breath.

Wu Meiniang was also taken aback, with her understanding of Rose, she should not have made such a serious punishment, but Rose said such a heavy punishment, she still had to be startled. I don't understand why the punishment is so severe?

It's enough to get out of the laundry bureau after playing fifty boards, but she has to be handed over to the Internal Security Mansion to be a prison for a lifetime, which... It's really scary, after all, it's a lifetime of freedom.

After Xiao Ke heard it, the whole person was shocked, and her eyelashes covered her eyelids densely and softly, blinking slightly from time to time with the opening and closing of her eyelids.

Xiao Ke was scared, and his body was trembling. But he didn't plead, because Xiao Ke knew that pleading would be useless.

"Mama, isn't the punishment too severe?" Wu Meiniang thought about it, but decided to intercede, no matter what she said, she knew Xiao Ke for a while.

Besides, for a young girl, this age should be a good time, and the next few decades should not be spent in prison, which is too cruel to Xiaoke.

No matter how big the mistake is, people have a time to repent, and besides, Xiao Ke just stole items to sell, as long as he warns him, and then let Xiao Ke get the stolen items back, so that Xiao Ke's life can be spared.

"Mama, as long as you let Xiao Ke get those items back, then it'll be fine, and the punishment won't be so severe, Xiao Ke, apologize quickly, so that Mama will forgive you."

She pleaded for Xiao Ke on her own initiative, and everyone didn't speak, and Rose didn't speak, but everyone heard her words.

It's a pity that Xiao Ke didn't understand what she meant, she stood dumbfounded, her expression was wooden, and there was no hint of asking for affection, only she was anxious about this matter.

"Mei Niang, I know you are kind, but kindness also depends on people, some people will not have good intentions, you just do too much for her, you will not be grateful to you."

Rose looked at Wu Meiniang and reminded that no one appreciated her kindness, she was trying in vain.

Wu Meiniang saw that Rose said this, so she had to shut up, Rose's mind was also obvious, she would not bypass Xiao Ke, she said that no matter how much she said, it was useless.

"Come on, pull Xiao Ke down and punish him immediately, and then hand him over to the Internal Security Mansion." When Rose saw that she did not speak, she commanded in a loud voice.

The guards on the side obediently pulled Xiao Ke down, Xiao Ke didn't say a word of complaint, nor did he cry, he was very calm, so that people couldn't see Xiao Ke clearly.

Wu Meiniang sighed and wanted to say a few words to the old eunuch, but she found that the old eunuch was already gone, and she didn't know when he was gone.

This old eunuch should be the third prince's person, presumably now he has gone back to tell the third prince about her, I hope that the third prince can stop for a long time and not provoke her.

Wu Meiniang was still in a daze, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and when she looked sideways, everyone was gone, leaving only her and Rose.

She was a little afraid to speak, and she didn't even dare to listen to Rose's teachings. Because she was not in the mood, she felt uncomfortable watching Xiao Ke receive such a big punishment.

"You did a good job today, you found things out in such a short time, and you are really smart, I see people correctly, I like you to do this."

Rose praised her for what she had done today, and her eyes showed a glint of relief and affection for her, and she would have been happy if she had been in normal times, but she was not happy today.

"I know." She replied nonchalantly, with an ugly face and a mournful tone.

"You're not happy for something small." Rose sensed her unhappiness and asked.

She bowed her head and didn't speak, it was indeed for the sake of Xiaoke, and because Rose's punishment was too heavy.

"Mei Niang, you are too kind, sooner or later you will be hurt, and it is your kindness that will hurt you." Rose sighed, sending out a kind of regret, but it made people feel a kind of pure feminine veins and affectionate bewitching beauty.

She thought about Rose's words, and knew that in reason, people who are kind will indeed be bullied, because their kindness does not mean that others are also kind, you treat others with kindness, and others use pretended cruelty.

I know, but one cannot be cruel all the time, and if one is cruel, then the whole conscience will change, and there will be no more kindness to anyone, and the nature will gradually be lost. ’

Her cheeks flushed, and her blushing mouth sighed softly.

"Okay, Mei Niang, don't talk about those things anymore, even if I don't punish Xiao Ke severely today, the crime that Xiao Ke will commit in the future will be a capital crime, Xiao Ke is a vicious girl, and all she has in her body is greed."

Rose spoke earnestly, knowing very well the reason for her sighing, and explained to her why the punishment was severe.

"I know, but I still think it's too serious for a girl to face such a severe punishment, she is still a child after all!"

She pleaded for Xiao Ke again, and the air at this time was filled with a strange atmosphere, with a feeling of sadness, a frightening loneliness.

"Xiao Ke's matter is indeed unacceptable, I know my punishment is too severe, but Mei Niang, Xiao Ke's character is not that if you help her, she can change it, but Xiao Ke should get such a lesson."

Rose was completely unaffected by her plea, and still refused to relax her punishment of Xiao Ke, such a decision always made people's hearts chill.

"Mei Niang, don't worry, as long as Xiao Ke is willing to repent in prison and his temperament is no longer vicious and greedy, I can help Xiao Ke escape. But there has to be a time for this, and everything now is something that Xiao Ke should bear. ”

Rose's eyes lit up and she spoke her thoughts. The beautiful face shows love, and there is no cruelty.

When Wu Meiniang heard this, she looked at the rose excitedly, and her face was no longer bitter.

She understood what Rose meant, Rose would punish Xiao Ke so heavily, it was a lesson for Xiao Ke to commit this sin, and it was also for Xiao Ke to learn about the mistakes he had made in prison.

"Sister Rose, if you want Xiao Ke to go to prison, do you want Xiao Ke to reflect in prison, right?" But she was still unsure about asking again, after all, she had to ask for peace of mind.

"Yes, Xiao Ke, this child, is a little more greedy, but she has gone astray, and she doesn't repent, I can only let her think for herself in prison, taste the sadness of losing her freedom, and not killing her is the greatest kindness to her."

Rose sighed, talking about Xiao Ke is also full of pity, the rose at this time is the person of mercy, the real rose.

"I see." Wu Meiniang laughed and understood the purpose of the rose. But she blamed herself a little, blaming herself for being too self-conscious and not understanding the painstaking work of roses.

But roses are so fickle, so she is not used to the practice of roses for a while, and fickle women are not easy to understand.

"No, you don't understand, you don't understand much, if you do. It won't be so an afterthought. Rose shook her head and smiled lightly, vetoing her meaning.

She looked at the rose blankly, knowing that she was going to be taught again, but she really admired the rose, and the rose was going to be handed over to her, far from what she needed to learn.

"Mei Niang, you are still too young, I don't know if you understand the deception in the deep palace, but in the palace, you really have to learn to be cruel, otherwise your kindness will kill you."

Rose said earnestly, every time she said a word, her eyes glared at her, and she was naturally frightened by the momentum of the rose and didn't dare to look at it.

"Look at you, the small thing makes you lose the thinking of what to do, kindness is good, but it also needs to be painted, and sometimes people's kindness can't be shown, but you need to hide."

Rose said, her eyes revealing vicissitudes, and that vicissitudes infected everything around her, and it seemed that everything was sad for Rose.
