Chapter 63: Innocence
In this matter, it turns out that there is still a lot to do. For example, the dead maid, whose name is Hong'er, has no relatives and friends, she has been sold by her parents since she was a child, and her parents didn't care about their daughter's life or death at the time, and after knowing the news of their daughter's death, they just nodded lightly and didn't say anything more.
On the contrary, Hong'er has a good friend, called Bai Lao, who has always served in Xu Wangye's study, she said that on the day Hong'er disappeared, it was Hong'er, because she was sick, so Hong'er replaced herself and went to the study to serve once, but after that time, she never saw Hong'er again.
Lu Yun knew about this matter, and that night, after knowing that something had happened to Xu Lan, Lu Yun immediately ordered himself to place a secret sigh in the Food King's Mansion to investigate the whole thing.
Naturally, I know that the name is Honger
The poor maid was serving her good sister in the study, and she accidentally made a mistake and was also ordered to be executed by Prince Xu.
It's just that Bai Peony provided another clue.
"Actually, when I first knew, it was when the second lady killed Hong'er, and I didn't believe it. After all, when Hong'er was at the beginning, although his family said that they had sold her, whenever something happened, they would still go up to coerce and lure her, and asked Hong'er for money, but Hong'er was desperate at that time. When she was crying in the garden, she was seen by the second lady, and the second lady felt sorry for her, so she gave him a few pieces of silver and asked him to call his family to send him away, and later found a few family members to warn the family not to come to Hong'er casually, Hong'er often told me that her favorite was the second miss. ”
Bai Shao may have remembered that her good sister couldn't help but redden, "Besides, to be honest, the second lady has always been kind, and she is definitely not the kind of person who will kill people on the side." Later, I calmed down and thought about it slowly, what happened that night was really strange, but unfortunately, I was so sad at the time, I just cried, and I really didn't help the second lady. ”
When Lu Yun heard this, he knew that this matter could make a big fuss, and he immediately bought off a few maids and servants, and secretly spread these words of Bai Shao.
People in this world are the easiest to be instigated, and it was because there were a few ill-intentioned people who shouted there, so they had preconceived ideas and thought that Xu Lan was the murderer.
But now, with the testimony of the relatives of the good sisters, it is obvious, although they have been wronged, so for a while, the whole remarks have changed.
Because there are many people who have changed their minds at this time, and they have also remembered that Miss Xu Er is indeed very good to them, not to mention those few, who have been specially funded by Miss Xu Er and changed their recent situation, even if it is someone else, I have to say that Miss Xu is the most approachable on weekdays.
In this way, coupled with Lu Yun's fanning the flames in secret, on this day, more than a dozen people jointly wrote an appeal and submitted it to Dali Temple, willing to prove that Xu Lan was innocent.
However, these are not the most important, the most important thing is Princess Xu's testimony, that day, Xu Lan came out of Princess Xu's house, if Princess Xu proves that Xu Lan has been in his house before, then Xu Lan's murder is naturally fake.
Because of this incident, Princess Xu and Prince Xu even had a big quarrel. Just like people say, that night was the prince, so angry that he was about to pull out his sword, but in the end he couldn't resist Princess Xu, and in the end, he just walked out of the house very angrily, and Princess Xu cried in the house all night.
But in the end, it was obvious that Xu Wangfei was victorious, she personally went to Dali Temple and testified to Xu Lan, proving that Xu Lan had stayed in her room that night, if it was the testimony of ordinary people, it could still be ignored, but this was the testimony of Princess Xu, so naturally it was necessary to be very cautious, so at the moment, the officials of Dali Temple directly proved that Xu Lan was innocent after discussing with each other a few times.
After three days, Xu Lan was in Dali Temple, and she was not severely punished, it was just a case, she was fined a few hundred taels of silver, and she could be released from prison today in a blink of an eye.
When Xu Lan knew that she could be released from prison, she was stunned for a long time, how could it be, didn't she kill someone? How can you get out of prison so casually?
But the officials of Dali Temple didn't have the heart to say more to him, but said with a cold face: "Naturally, it proves that you are not a murderer, someone specially provided testimony, saying that you are usually very friendly to that maid, and that day, you stayed in Princess Xu for so long before you came out, it was Princess Xu who personally testified to you, and you were naturally acquitted, what's so difficult about this?" ”
When Xu Lan heard this, she was obviously stunned for a moment, mother, how could she get involved, it was very dangerous, how could her mother come in!
However, when Xu Lan saw the officials of Dali Temple, it was absolutely impossible for her to tell her the inside story, thinking that she had been released from prison anyway, so she should take it back to her home and ask her mother carefully.
Thinking like this, Xu Lan said goodbye to the perseverance of the official type of Dali Temple.
After Xu Lan was drawn to the outside of the prison, Xu Lan found that there were already many people waiting for her outside, mother, sister, and two maids, although these people are not very many, but each of them is the most important person in his life.
Xu Lan went outside, and when she saw the sun outside, she couldn't help but shed tears, it turned out that under the light, there was such a good scenery, with her own innocence, people who love herself, and people she loves.
Baizhu and Bai Qi next to him, seeing Xu Lan crying, they were very anxious at the moment, stepped forward, gently wiped the corners of Xu Lan's eyes, and said: "Miss is suffering inside, you see that this specialty has only been three days, and it has already lost weight like this, this is really not a place for people to stay!" ”
After saying this, the angry Bai Qi even spat at the heavenly prison, and Xu Lan hurriedly stopped him: "You! It's really pampered, this is the gate of Dali Temple, how can it be so rude! Don't be afraid to lose your head! ”
And hearing the young lady say this, Bai Qian couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved, which is not to blame him, after all, Dali Temple can be said to be a lot of traces in the past, the last time Xu Zhen was injured, they hastily closed the case, and this time they locked up their own young lady, Bai Ji no matter how he talked about it, he would not have any good impression of this Dali Temple.
But as Miss said it, Bai Qi could only swallow her anger and stop going to see this annoying Dali Temple.
Although Xu Lan saw her mother in a blink of an eye after teaching Bai Qi a lesson, when she was in the prison, Xu Lan thought that after she came out, she must ask her mother, why did she wade into this troubled water?
But after coming out, when she saw Princess Xu, Xu Lan couldn't say a word, she felt that her throat seemed to be doing something, and she couldn't say anything in it.
Princess Xu saw her daughter like this, she had raised this daughter for more than ten years, how could she not know his thoughts, so she immediately stepped forward and hugged her daughter and said, "My good daughter, you have suffered in it." ”
At this moment, Xu Lan felt that she could finally speak, but she only choked up and said: "Mother ......" and could no longer say anything else.
Parents and children in this world should be like this, loving each other, protecting each other, and helping each other, instead of hating each other like themselves and their fathers, and each other will take each other's lives. Xu Lan hugged Princess Xu in front of her, and thanked God again, thank you for letting me have such a good mother, so that I can't feel any trace of parental love since I was a child.
After some people greeted each other, Princess Xu and she he also saw it, his daughter said, although the waist is still straight, but it is indeed a little tired, and immediately instructed a few maids: "Okay, don't say more at the gate of Dali Temple, hurry back to the house, Baizhu, Baiji, you go back, serve your young lady well, she is suffering and tired inside, these days, go back and take a good bath, wash away these disasters, and then eat some food, don't drink a few bowls of porridge for those solid food, Take care of your stomach. ”
Bai Zhu and Bai Qi naturally agreed, but Xu Lan didn't want to leave his mother at this moment, he said coquettishly to Princess Xu, "Mother, don't drive your daughter away first, let's talk a few words first." ”
Princess Xu has always loved her daughter, and this time, she was really wronged, so she agreed to her request immediately: "Okay, okay, mother promised you, let's get in the car first, mother will talk to you well." ”
Xu Xin, the sister next to her, only smiled and said, "My sister is sticky this time." ”
Xu Lan naturally saw her sister, she looked at Xu Xin's eyes were also red, obviously she had just cried, she couldn't help but feel warm, took Xu Xin's hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, Lan'er misses you very much in it." ”
Hearing Xu Lan say this, Xu Xin's eyes were about to shed tears, but she just endured it, patted Xu Lan's hand and said, "Sister knows." ”
After all, it is a sister's heart, seeing that her sister has been wronged so much, Xu Lan has always been sad, and she has almost been worried about her sister in the past few days.
After doing this, several people got into the carriage, and this time, they slowly and leisurely went to King Xu's mansion.
