Chapter 680: True Attitude
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.
In the end, Wen Lan and Wang Yue did not seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but chose to send charcoal in the snow.
After knowing that Cheng Ziyu had an accident, both of them entered the palace.
From the emperor, the queen mother, and even her father-in-law and Mama Fang, both of them ran through with all their hearts.
Wang Yue informed Cheng Ziyu that Wen Lan went to find the emperor after leaving this courtyard.
The emperor rested at Tian Wanyi's place, and Wen Lan waited in Chuxiu Palace for an hour.
When the emperor woke up, he didn't see her, but told her to go home and think about it behind closed doors. If you want to enter the palace again, you must first hand over the post.
When Wenlan left the palace, she saw the crown princess entering the palace with a happy face.
The Shaw family is about to lose its position, what else is there to be happy about? Wen Lan was suspicious and let people follow.
Xiao Shi really came to the cold palace, and when he went out, he smiled like a flower.
The purpose is self-evident.
Vinlan was on fire in her heart, so she could only vent this breath on Xiao Shi.
She originally planned to find a remote place and find someone to beat Xiao Shi out of anger. But both Green Joe and the coachman dissuaded her again and again, making her calm down.
I didn't want to, Xiao Shi was also angry, and she was in a particularly happy mood and went to a jewelry store to pick up jewelry. Wen Lan felt that the opportunity had come, so she threw away a handful of silver tickets, picked a cronie who rarely showed her face, and found a set of luxury clothes from the carriage for her to change into.
When the cronies entered the jewelry store, she shook the silver ticket in her hand, saying that she had come to give a gift to her ancestors.
The shopkeeper saw that she was gorgeous and spoke high-spiritedly, so naturally, she was also invited into the VIP area to drink tea and choose expensive things.
After that, it was the cronies' deliberate troublemakers.
In short, Xiao Shi was optimistic about something, and she got it first. She only looked at it and only grabbed it and didn't buy it, so Xiao Shi expected that she didn't have enough money.
In order to recapture a city, the Xiao family revealed the gap, and when they were re-selected, they chose the best of the best. Seeing that the stinky girl finally stopped grabbing it, Xiao's smile was much brighter.
The shopkeeper patted his ass and waited.
Xiao Shi was optimistic about an extremely luxurious ink hosta, thinking that it could be sent to both the Queen Mother and the old lady of the Xiao family, which was good.
She asked.
The store quoted a thousand taels, and Xiao's was strong and dry, but he still felt expensive. Although she still has tens of thousands of taels of savings, her future is worrying, and she always has to keep some silver for herself.
Xiao Shi didn't want it anymore, and secretly said that he shouldn't have chosen such a good jewelry, and he was even more disgusted with the little girl who was sitting on the side with small eyes. If he hadn't been provoked by her, how would he have ......
Xiao Shi didn't know if the shopkeeper knew her identity, but it was too embarrassing to ask for a price and abandon her because of the price. She couldn't.
So she motioned to her cronies.
The girl picks and chooses with a hairpin, the water head here is not good, the color is not pure there, the carving is not fine enough, and the lines there are dull...... Bluntly said: Such a thing sells for a thousand taels? The shopkeeper is a bit of a bully.
They forced themselves to earn back the steps to go down.
"How much does Madame think is appropriate?"
"It's worth five hundred taels at most." The girl preemptively repaid half the price. "If you haven't already asked the price, we don't want five hundred taels."
And Xiao just didn't hear about it, and glanced around at the other jewels with an uninterested look.
Xiao Shi saw at a glance that this hairpin would have to be sold for at least 600 to 800 taels, so the store would definitely not sell it at this price.
She was ready to get up and leave.
But a crisp laugh burst out before the store could speak, and the little girl unabashedly sneered: "This lady is obviously reluctant to pay for the silver, and she is still nitpicking, so there is really no more shame." β
Seeing through it or not, in the face of such a blunt statement, Xiao's face turned red.
"What? This little girl, do you think this hairpin is worth a thousand taels? β
"Value! How is it not worth it? β
The little girl threw a thousand taels of silver tickets into the hands of the store. "This ink hosta, one thousand taels, I want it!"
The shopkeeper's mouth suddenly raised, and he hurried to Xiao Shi to retrieve the hosta.
But the little girl's sharp laughter came again: "The pomp is so big, I thought the shot was so big!" Hmph, it's embarrassing, I can't even afford a hairpin, what kind of score. It's really ridiculous and generous. The little girl took the black hosta and compared it on her head.
The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fist to let him say a few words, suggesting that the little girl should not offend anyone.
The shopkeeper clearly knows his identity, and Xiao's face is even more unbearable.
It's even more humiliating to get this out.
"Shopkeeper, everything comes first and comes first, right? I haven't said no, you're going to sell it to someone else......"
Before Xiao finished speaking, the little girl flicked her sleeves and walked out, sarcastically as she walked: "It's the first time I've seen such a shameless person, occupying the pit and not shitting, and not letting people wait in line, what kind of person is this!" β
Her sharpness and bluntness attracted attention.
The angry Xiao family over there didn't expect the little girl to leave, let alone that this girl was talking nonsense, so they hurriedly came out of it.
Xiao Shi signaled, and the two mothers-in-law blocked the little girl's way.
"I'm young, my mouth is not clean, and I don't know who ......"
"Whoever is better than yours! Don't you want to tell the truth yet? Good dogs don't get in the way, get out of here! β
And over there, Xiao Shi had already told the store with a cold face that she wanted the hairpin.
She's been so angry lately, and now the little girl she casually meets on the street is also bullying her, how can she stand it? The rude swear words scolded by the little girl spread out, where did she put her face? Her place is going to be robbed, the child is going to be robbed, and she can't get a broken hairpin?
But before the store could react, a scream had already come out.
"You are bullying othersβ" After that, I saw that the ink hosta had fallen to the ground just now and broke into three pieces.
In an instant, the two mothers-in-law, the shopkeeper and the Xiao family were all stunned.
The little girl was the first to cry: "You bully people." I've paid all the money, and you dare to rob it!" If it breaks, you pay for it. Whose family are you? You pay me the money, accompany me to the hairpin! β
The little girl's successive calls attracted a lot of people, and the carriage of the prince's mansion and the princess and herself were also recognized. Many people saw that it was Xiao's mother-in-law who stopped the little girl and reached out to take the hairpin on the little girl's head. The scramble fell to the ground.
In any case, it can be regarded as a public eye.
In contrast, Xiao's mother-in-law kept saying that the little girl accidentally dropped the hairpin, and naturally no one would believe it.
Shaw's stall is in trouble.
Especially after everyone heard that this was a treasure of a thousand taels of silver, they all pointed at Xiao.
The little girl was not stunned.
"Is the crown princess amazing? Can the crown princess be bullied on the streets, can she rob and rob? You haven't been a queen yet, so arrogant? I don't have any family background, but I'm not afraid of you. I'm going to report to the official, report to the official! I want to sue the crown princess and the Xiao family. β
The little girl pointed to the shopkeeper again.
"I still want to sue you shop, I haven't gone out yet, you let people rob me, you don't come to help me, and you can't get out of it. Do you want to sell the same thing twice? That's how you buy and sell? Who will dare to come to you in the future! β
The little girl just made a big fuss.
People come and go, and they all gather.
The shopkeeper doesn't dare to cause a lawsuit, one is the crown princess, and the other is a lord who doesn't know each other, but is clearly rich and extraordinary, how can he report to the official?
When the time comes, both sides of the government will not dare to offend, and they will definitely be responsible for their own shops. Not only will you lose your money, but you will also lose your reputation......
The crown princess is even more afraid of reporting to the official, her status is already unstable, and if this is going to make a big fuss, she will lose the face of the prince and the Xiao family, and they are afraid that they will have to clean her up. Then it will not be a matter of silver. If her character is denied again, she will lose even the support of her son......
But the two of them didn't know that the little girl just expected that they would not dare to report to the official so dare to make trouble so arrogantly......
But the store can't say forget it, this is a good thing that costs hundreds of taels, this ......
In order to calm the situation, the store first returned the silver ticket of one thousand taels to the little girl.
But the latter did not give up, crying and making trouble, so the little girl and the shopkeeper almost looked at Xiao Shi in unison......
In order to send the plague god away quickly, Xiao gritted his teeth and paid three hundred taels as compensation.
The little girl was afraid that the lion's big mouth would have the opposite effect, so she was aggrieved and accepted the money. When he left, he had a handful of tears and snot, all of which were pitiful to be bullied.
"Folks, help. I've been bullied so badly. You guys take care of me, I'm afraid of being hunted down and robbed by them. If I die or cripple tomorrow, they will do it! The little girl looked back cautiously as she walked......
Shaw choked again. She really planned to find someone to follow the little girl to see whose girl was so rampant, and she was going to clean it up later. Now that she is being provoked by the other party in public, she doesn't have a signal to go down.
His chest was jammed, but he was still signaled by the store to drink tea inside......
After the compensation was over, they wanted to check the identity of the little girl, but they had already broken the clue.
"So, although the Xiao clan bullied you, Vinland helped you get your revenge back."
Wang Yue was looking at Cheng Ziyu's forehead wound. When she heard that the filth in the room was all done by the Xiao family, she couldn't help but inform her of the revenge.
"Vinland told me that the hosta is very difficult to repair. After all, it is Moyu, and the end is a clear and high shelf. You can wrap the broken part with gold, but the charm of the black jade is completely lost, and it becomes a nondescript thing! Therefore, the hairpin is not said to be a waste, but it has also become a low-grade jewelry.
The store has suffered a lot of losses, and it is absolutely impossible to calm down. At least ask Xiao for a few hundred taels.
Coupled with the three hundred taels of compensation that Wen Lan received above, this Xiao family's catastrophe from heaven was inexplicably lost by nearly a thousand taels, which was enough to make her angry and sick for a few days. And the matter has become a big one, and it will soon become a joke and spread out, and the prince will definitely know about the Xiao family's spending a lot of money, and it will be the Xiao family who will be the one who will be the back.
So this time she lost her wife and broke her soldiers, and she didn't dare to appear again for a while, and she wouldn't come to bully you. Well, are you in a better mood after listening to this? β
"Vinland has a heart, help me thank her."
"What do we thank each other? I'm so sad to die, I don't know if I can do something for you, you ......"
"Alright." A smile tugged on Cheng Ziyu's lips. This is the person who became a mother in the end, thinking that Wang Yue on that day would not shed a single tear when Mount Tai collapsed.
Cheng Ziyu pulled Wang Yue around the main house and walked towards a more dilapidated side house behind the main house.
Pushing the door in, Wang Yue's tears stopped.
It's not a big room, but it's very clean.
There weren't many daily necessities, but everything from stoves, tea bowls, and mattresses and pillows were available.
There is no strange smell in the nose and it is very dry.
"This ......"
"I'm here, and it looks like house arrest to the outside world, but it's actually protection." Cheng Ziyu had already realized this.
From the time she entered the palace in the afternoon, she was testing the emperor's true attitude towards her.
That's why she deliberately spent a lot of money to "dredge" Grandpa Feng. He is the emperor's person, and he must know the emperor's general attitude. He was able to accept the money, and the fact was already telling her that the situation was not bad, or rather, that he had the emperor's permission to use this method to imply. Therefore, the overly powerful guards outside the General's Mansion at that time should have been just to hide people's eyes.
Later, Cheng Ziyu deliberately asked for a private chat with Zhishu, but in fact, this was also a temptation. If the Emperor was really angry with her, there was no need to accede to this request. The emperor gave her a chance, probably hoping that she would ask something from the mouth of the book.
It is also because of this that she was given a relaxed and private environment, which made it easy for her to ask a lot of things from the Zhishu.
At that time, Cheng Ziyu guessed that the emperor trusted her.
Soon, she became more and more convinced of this conjecture.
For example, the emperor didn't need her to come to the imperial study to confront her, so he directly detained her for questioning, and directly convicted her, wouldn't it be simpler? To put it bluntly, the emperor wanted her to know exactly what was going on, so that she could deal with it.
For example, although the emperor was angry, he not only smashed her flesh and skin, but also deliberately scolded her in public for being hateful, but in the final analysis, it was still a formality, he had been defending her from beginning to end, and the facts had never really disposed of her unfavorably from beginning to end.
The emperor also deliberately let the workshop besiege, the fact is that he is afraid that she will not take care of her head and tail and will be taken advantage of. The emperor preemptively took control of the workshop, naturally not to confine, but only to protect.
In the same way, the emperor preemptively disposed of her and left her in the palace. There are a lot of "crimes", and the emperor must make a statement, so Cheng Ziyu must not continue to stay in the General's Mansion. Then the palace will be the best arrangement.
After the last time the prince and the concubine were in the palace, the defense was strict again and again. There is basically no gap in the entire palace. Staying in the palace, Cheng Ziyu is the safest.
And the news in the palace is first-hand, not only Jiangnan, but also Zhu Changan and Li Chun. She has a much greater advantage in the palace.
After the workshop was protected, she had no worries at all. That's why she asked Liu Er to go back to the workshop, and she stayed in the cold palace with peace of mind.
also figured out all kinds of things, so after the emperor proposed to keep her in the cold palace, she didn't say a word of reluctance.
The two sentences of the private chat with the emperor made her feel even more reassured.
Thanks to the fact that the Empress Dowager asked Li Chun to succeed to the throne but was rejected by the two of them one after another, otherwise she was afraid that it would be difficult for the emperor to fully trust her this time.
And the courtyard of the cold palace where she lives, the guards on the inside and the outside are too strict. In the eyes of ordinary people, the stricter the nature, the more the emperor's anger towards her, but Cheng Ziyu understood it as protection.
The emperor clearly deliberately put on a posture that he would be severely punished, so as to temporarily stop some people's small actions. also avoided the need to write and ask her to be severely punished one by one, so that the incident continued to deteriorate.
He deliberately acquiesced that cats and dogs could enter the cold palace to see her miserable appearance, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was for better protection.
After all, in the eyes of many people, she must be punished at this moment to be more acceptable for her to stay in the palace.
Otherwise, the emperor would not have had to secretly prepare a clean residence for her.
The emperor should also be waiting for Li Chun and King Zhe to return. The greater the grievance at this time, the more interest you can reap in the future.
