Chapter 178: Punishment

Because Song Yang has not been officially appointed, he spends more time at home, and soon rushed to the kitchen.

Even when she heard Zhang Lan's sobs and calls, she still didn't look at her, but came straight to Song Yueyue's side, and even excused herself from saluting Zhou Anxu, and directly cared about her sister.

Zhou Anxu's anger was half subsided because of Song Yang's attitude, but seeing Song March's eyes red, he was still very distressed, so he recounted the incident, and it was rare that he did not add any branches and leaves.

"Big brother, if you don't give me an explanation for today's incident, our Rui Wangfu will definitely not stop. Although my father is not in the court, not all the people in the Rui Mansion can be bullied. Although Zhou Anxu is a gentleman, he also knows who should give face, otherwise he would have slaughtered Zhang Lan a long time ago.

Glancing at Zhou Anxu, Song Yang didn't care about the man who defended his sister, but said to Song Yueyue: "Third sister, you are about to leave the cabinet soon, although Princess Rui is now taking care of the Rui Palace, sooner or later you will have to take over, and as the princess, you must also learn to be tough." Today's matter, even if you ask for mercy, the eldest brother must solve it in accordance with the rules, but the eldest brother still hopes that you can deal with this matter personally, which should be a training for you. ”

Song Yue nodded clearly, but looking at her expression, she knew that she had no score in her heart, and even a little soft-hearted.

Song Yang looked at Zhou Anxu again, and arched his hand: "This incident happened in the Song family, and the Song family will give justice to their daughter, even if she marries in March in the future, she is still the daughter of the Song family and the pearl of the Song family." ”

Zhou Anxu nodded with satisfaction, he didn't mind that his wife was protected by her mother's family, and even Zhou Anxu's living atmosphere since he was a child made him accustomed to protecting his shortcomings.

With the support of his brother and fiancΓ©, Song March carefully recalled what he had learned in the past few days, and already had a plan in his heart.

The cook, who didn't know the truth and helped others instead of protecting the master, sold it on ten boards for the sake of her injury, and the kitchen steward was fined three months of silver for three months, and the others were fined one month of silver to show warning.

However, when she arrived at Zhang Lan, Song March was a little worried, so she said to Song Yang: "Big brother, Zhang Lan is not my Song family, let alone a descendant of the Song family, so it stands to reason that I have no right to punish her." However, if you are disrespectful to Princess Rui, it is not an exaggeration to send her to the yamen, but she is ...... after all."

"It doesn't matter who she is, she must be punished for doing something wrong, otherwise I don't want the face of Rui Wangfu, and everyone will have the courage to stand at the gate of Rui Wangfu and spit in the future." Zhou Anxu immediately interrupted Song Yueyue's words and tried his best to give her a look, but Song Yueyue lowered his head and didn't look at him, and the tired Zhou Anxu's eyes were about to cramp.

Looking at the interaction between the two of them, a smile flashed in Song Yang's eyes, but he said: "An Xu is right, no matter who makes a mistake, he must pay the price, and he should not have any scruples, otherwise what is the use of the law?" Where is the royal majesty? Third sister, in half a month, you will not only be the daughter of the Song family, but also the princess of the royal family. ”

"But......" Song March wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say, so she pouted: "I know, if you want to send people to the yamen, send them, I'm not suitable for a woman to go to that kind of place, so I'll go back first." ”

Song March got up and was about to leave, but Zhang Lan rushed over in a panic, hugged Song March's thigh and cried: "Third Miss save me, I really didn't mean to insult Princess Rui, if I knew that the dim sum was made for Princess Rui to eat, I wouldn't dare to say such a thing if I had a hundred guts!" I don't want to go to prison, once I go to that place, what face do I have to live in this world, the third lady can't force me to die! ”

Zhang Lan was really scared, but her threatening words of begging for mercy made people uncomfortable to listen to.

"It's really a slut, don't you know that it's my mother who wants to eat that snack, so you can speak ill of each other? The people who can let March cook in person, except for the Song family, are only the distinguished guests of the Song family, do you mean that except for the people in the Rui Wangfu, they deserve to be scolded by you? Zhou Anxu sneered, "Then I want to ask Princess Zhaoyang, she loves to eat dim sum made in March, it turns out that you scolded her!" ”

Zhang Lan, who was originally scared, collapsed on the ground as soon as she heard the word princess, and she collapsed on the ground as soon as she became weak, and she never dreamed that she would be involved with so many royal relatives in this way.

"The princess's favorite thing to eat is this jam pastry." Song March answered, looking at the dim sum that was crushed by Zhang Lan with some regret.

If she was poor, she knew how to cherish food more, and it was a pity that she wasted so much effort.

"My lord, save me, help me, I don't want to die!" Zhang Lan saw that Song March refused to intercede for her, so she turned to climb to Song Yang's feet, and pulled his already crying and begging: "My lord, please save me once for the sake of my eldest brother's affection, I am really unintentional, I don't know what's going on recently, I always do things I don't remember, and I always talk nonsense...... Yes, I just had my brain pumping to say that kind of thing, and that wasn't my intention. ”

Zhang Lan quickly denied that she had the intention to make a mistake, and only wanted to be safe, and did not notice that others looked at her with disdain.

Song Yang was unmoved, withdrew his robe and looked at Zhang Lan coldly, as if he was looking at a stranger, and Zhang Lan's back was cold.

"Big brother, according to what Zhang Lan said, she is suffering from madness, and according to the law of my dynasty, she should be locked up in a madhouse, but she can be exempted from all punishment. Big brother, as a court official, you should set an example and not shield this girl. Zhou Anxu gloated.

Zhang Lan is completely stupid, she has said that she is so unbearable, still can't escape the bad luck?

Locked up in an insane asylum, it is no different from forcing her to die, Zhang Lan had heard before that there were normal people who were framed and put in an insane asylum, and they really went crazy.

Song Yueyue couldn't bear it after all, but as soon as she was about to speak, she was pinched by Zhou Anxu's palm, so she had to shut up.

"Thank you for your magnanimity, the lower officials will go through the formalities, and they will never ignore the law for their own selfishness." Song Yang is a serious Taoist.

Zhang Lan realized that who was the most difficult person in this house, and hurriedly knelt down and crawled to Zhou Anxu's feet, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Little prince, please give the people a way to live, everything is the fault of the people's daughters, how do you punish the people's daughters, the people's daughters are willing to accept it, just ask the little prince to give the people a chance to reform themselves, and the people will kowtow to the little prince." ”

Zhang Lan didn't dare to cheat at all, and every time she knocked it down extremely hard, and soon there were blood beads on her forehead.

But Zhou Anxu's face did not change, and he has seen a lot of such tricks.

Song Yueyue secretly hooked Zhou Anxu's finger and signaled him with his eyes to stop.

Zhou Anxu was helpless, and after snorting coldly, he looked at Song Yang and said: "Although March will soon marry into the palace, but the father and mother will not prevent her from returning to her parents' house, the Song family has such an eyesore, where is the master willing to let March come back to be wronged, but he will definitely can't help but get rid of the eyesore, if the eldest brother thinks of saving his life, then send the person away as soon as possible, so as not to make the master unhappy and let the Zhang family die." ”

Song Yang bowed his hand, "The lower official thanked the little prince for not killing Zhang Lan for Zhang Zhutou, please rest assured that after the marriage in March, the lower official will arrange a family affair for Zhang Lan as soon as possible and send her to marry." ”

"Hmph, you have a good life, exchange your brother's death for your peace, but the master will not be generous again and again, stay away from March in the future, if you dare to provoke her again, then wash your neck and wait for your head to fall off!" After Zhou Anxu finished speaking, he led Song March out, stopped after taking two steps, and said: "The capital crime can be avoided or the most unforgivable, the Song family is inconvenient to punish you as a guest, but the master brought someone here, ten big boards, it is a warning given to you by the master, so you don't have a long memory." ”

"The people's daughter, thank you for the kindness of the little prince." Zhang Lan didn't dare to beg for mercy anymore, so she could only kowtow and thank you.

Song Yang also left with the two of them, and as for the punishment, they had their own stewards to deal with it, and they didn't need to do it themselves.

Not to mention that Zhang Lan was afraid and hated to be beaten ten big boards, don't think about getting out of bed in a few days, An Xuyan, who received the news from the Song family, hooked her lips and smiled.

An Xuyan's smile only lasted for a moment, and then he listened to the secret guard continue to report: "The third princess ordered someone to beat the side concubine five boards, and punished her for kneeling for half an hour, and then the side concubine miscarried, and died of heavy hemorrhage. ”

A ruthless look flashed in An Xuyan's eyes, and the smile disappeared instantly, "Let someone send a message to the third princess, and deal with all the insiders, you must bite this matter She doesn't know, I will arrange the rest for her, whether she can be lifted or not, it depends on whether she can cooperate with the tacit understanding." ”

The dark guard reported some more things before leaving, but the killing intent in An Xuyan's eyes was even more obvious, "Stupid, how can I have such a brainless sister as An Yanran, sooner or later, you will be dragged down, it's better to ......"

An Xuyan's words were not finished, and the murderous aura disappeared as his expression changed.

In the Three Princes' Mansion, An Yanran, who got the news, smiled proudly, where was there any previous uneasiness.

"Whatever your brother says, you can do it, don't make trouble for your brother." An Yanran opened her mouth indifferently and handed over the matter to the two maidservants that An Xuyan gave her to handle.

The two maidservants received the order and killed all the insiders at the first time, and then one went to An Yanran to restore his life, and the other quietly left the Three Princes' Mansion and went to An's house to find An Xuyan to recover his life.

However, in 100 days, the royal family had two little grandchildren stillborn, and this news immediately became an open secret on the streets, and I don't know how many versions came out.

Compared with the second prince's mansion, the princess had a miscarriage, and the side concubine of the third prince's mansion became pregnant before the main concubine, which obviously made the people like to talk about it more and more shameless.

A man can have three wives and four concubines, but the eldest son must be born by the main wife, which is a rule left over thousands of years, which shows that the three princes are not as gentle and sensible as the legend says.

An Xuyan didn't expect that the reputation he had established for the third prince would be criticized because of this incident, but the speed of the rumors spread too fast, and he wanted to suppress it but it could only have the opposite effect.
