Chapter 660: Uncle and Aunt Regardless of Biological Birth
Where can Dong stand such a lesson from others, plus she has always been jealous and hateful to He Angelica, and she has been unpleasant everywhere over the years, and now these emotions have flareed up all of a sudden.
She sneered, "Hmph! Third girl, you don't have to be like me, I can't compare to you in my life, but our old Luo family still has a promising descendant, a firewood rain map, and became a beauty in the prince's mansion; Sister Qiong'er and Sister Shao'er entered the palace to serve the emperor! One day they are favored, and we will immediately become royal relatives with stiff waists! Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't tear down the bridge too early! β
He Angelica commanded her mother-in-law to take Luo Baiqian and Sister Yan down, and she had no intention of staying any longer, biting each other with mad dogs, so what had become of her.
How could the Dong family let people go, and stopped at the door, asking He Angel to return her daughter, the scoundrel was extremely scoundrel. The eldest lady Zhao's thoughts were similar to Dong's, and she also wanted He Angelica to rescue them at one time, but she was afraid that Dong would offend He Angelica, but there would be nothing left.
Zhao pulled Dong away, smiled and discussed with He Angelica: "Good girl, look at me, my health has always been bad, and now I am suffering from thirst quenching disease, which is the most abrasive disease, and I can't eat a bite if my diet is not fine." You got your ex-brother, father and daughter and brother out, why don't you have another me? I'm your aunt and uncle. β
"Aunt Zhao, what you said doesn't make sense, I haven't heard that my aunt also has a biological child from ancient times to the present." A happy and lively voice jumped in, it was Qing'er who came, and looked at why she hadn't gone back.
In the courtyard behind Qing'er stood Meng Xuan, dressed in ice blue fine silk, with snow-white piping, embroidered with intricate and elegant bamboo leaf patterns with gold and silver threads, and her posture was quite beautiful and tall.
Handsome eyebrows slanted into the sideburns, bright eyes, straight nose, thin red lips with a dizzying smile. Under the seemingly calm eye waves, there is a hidden sharpness, even if you stand there quietly, you can't underestimate it.
He asked softly, "Can you pick it up?" Tired of standing? β
Everyone heard it clearly from afar, and he said this specifically to He Angelica. He Angelica hadn't answered, but Qing'er took the lead and smiled: "As for saving people, it's not that she's stingy, she really doesn't have such a big ability to pardon and plot rebellion." wanted to be pardoned, so I had to wait for Miss Luo Er to become a concubine, and directly asked the emperor to go. β
These words made Zhao's face red and white for a while, Dong glanced at Meng Xuan, and then at He Angelica, and the tip of his heart almost dripped blood. She suddenly rushed to the door, raised her hand and waved at Qing'er, He Angelica was standing next to her, of course she would not sit idly by and watch this happen. He Angelica twisted Dong's wrist with one hand, and Dong's scoundrel got up and screamed: "Killed!" The county lord of Qingning has killed someone! β
Immediately, a servant came over to inspect the court, frowned and reminded: "I heard your movements in the public court, the county lord will take care of it, and go to the public court with the people here to pass the trial." β
At that moment, except for Mrs. Luo, who was still unconscious, everyone else went to court.
"She is not a member of the Luo family and is not involved in this case." Seeing that He Angelica had also passed the hall, Lu Jiangbei frowned, and said lightly to Mao Daoxing in the hall.
Mao Daoxing laughed dryly, and said helplessly: "Don't worry, Manager Lu, it's just a human witness, a reference." β
Meng Xuan pursed her lips and smiled, but a pair of eyes swept the crowd sternly. Just now, Mao Daoxing secretly exchanged glances with Zhou Jinglan, the side concubine of King Ning, with obvious ill intentions.
"Smack!" The shocking wood was filmed again, and Li Xianqian, who played Bai Yangbai, was also rumored to be in court, and then tried the murder case of the palace.
Guo Fang asked: "According to what you said about the county lord of Xiancao, Zhu Liuran and Zhu Gutan have a disagreement, Zhu Gutan killed two maids, and wanted to frame Zhu Liuran, yes or no?" β
The fake Li Xianqian nodded yes, and Zhu Liuran and Zhu Gutan, who were kneeling below, one shouted "Adult Shengming", and the other shouted "wronged".
Fake Li Xianqian said: "Just now in the back hall, we all analyzed the case, and the case should be like this. There was a well behind Niu Wenlan's house, and Zhu Gutan asked the two maids to push the two maids into the well, trying to set a fire to them and burn them to death in it. On the other hand, she told Zhu Liuran that the person Niu Wenlan liked was actually Duan Houye, and she stayed in the palace to see him more, Zhu Liuran wanted to test Niu Wenlan, so she came to the East Chamber and was seen by He Angelica, so He Angelica did not lie. β
Zhu Liuran also testified: "That's right, I couldn't talk about it that day, I was afraid that I would be laughed at if I said it, but I didn't expect to be used by my sister Zhu Gutan." β
Guo Fang and Mao Daoxing glanced at each other, and Mao Daoxing asked again: "How could Niu Wenlan be tied under his bed?" Who tied her up? Lord Xiancao, why did you fall into the pond? β
Fake Li Xianqian said: "I just stumbled and fell, Niu Wenlan said it is even more pathetic, she let her maid Taohong tie up and hide under the bed." β
Guo Fang ordered: "Someone! Go and pass the maid rosΓ© to the church! β
Taohong was escorted up, listened to the false Li Xianqian's testimony, her face turned pale, and she began to cry: "There is no such thing, if the little woman does this, she will die immediately!" Pink eyes glanced at the court, saw He Angelica, and pointed at her, "It's true, it was she who walked into my young lady's room at that time." And I stood outside the room for a while, and suddenly I felt a lot of pain in the back of my head, and I fell unconscious. β
He Angelica smiled slightly, and said without being shocked or angry: "My lord, I have not done anything hurtful to heaven and reason, so I naturally have a clear conscience." Since the two sides insist on their own words, there is no better way to distinguish the truth from the false, so let Miss Niu say it herself. β
"Let Niu Wenlan say!" Guo Fang exclaimed, "Could it be that you still have a way to save Niu Wenlan?" β
He Angelica nodded: "That's right." I want the same things as just now, Miss Niu's body, and four more screens. β
If she said this yesterday, others must have thought she was talking in a dream, but she had just saved a Li Xianqian whose body was blistered, and after she lived, she spoke clearly and looked lively, and she was a complete living person, so now, there are really a few people who believe that He Angelica can save Niu Wenlan, who was killed by smoke.
The maid's pink face showed an obvious expression of weakness, which fell in the eyes of many people around her. Peach suddenly shouted: "My lord, my young lady died unjustly, please make the decision for her, don't believe the murderer's words!" β
Guo Fang in the hall discussed with Mao Daoxing, Mao Daoxing kept shaking his head, and Guo Fang seemed to have made great efforts to persuade him. In the end, the corpse and screen of Niu Wenlan that He Angelica wanted were brought up to the hall, and He Angelica's skirt swayed, and he confidently and calmly stepped behind the screen.
Fake Li Xianqian said with a smile: "I also want to go in and see what kind of spell Sister Qingning used to revive people who have been dead for a few days." He walked in as he spoke.
Dong, who was waiting for trial below, smiled coldly and muttered: "What are you doing pretending to be a ghost!" She has a few pounds and a few taels, we know very well. If the charred corpse could be resurrected, the old lady swallowed the torture instrument in one gulp. β
The court was not as noisy as the last time Li Xianqian was rescued, and everyone was deeply curious about He Angelica's medical skills, so they all waited with bated breath, looking at the white curtain screen with wide eyes. If Niu Wenlan can also be saved, then the county lord of Qingning is basically an immortal, and after the first trial of the case, it is estimated that people all over the world will rush to know her, and the emperor may also summon her to the palace.
It was already past noon, and the sun would set in another hour. Behind the screen, it has been quiet, silent, hanging everyone's thoughts.
Time passed bit by bit, the sun set, the sky outside darkened, and two hours passed. In the middle of this, Meng Xuan went in once, came out to ask for dim sum and water, personally brought it out, and came out to tell Mao Daoxing and others that Miss Niu is not easy to save and has to wait a little longer, please be calm, after all, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter.
Until the beginning of the moon, when the lanterns and candles inside and outside the public hall were lit, the crowd of onlookers still did not disperse, and the longer the time dragged on, the more curious they became. Curiosity dispelled hunger and cold, and even the septuagenarian stood for a long time.
In the end, there was finally movement in the screen, and the sound of clothes rubbing against each other sounded, and the next moment, everyone was in an uproar.
What is the reason for your words, it turns out that the candle flame in the screen is several times brighter than that in the public hall outside, and the shadows inside are clearly visible, and every move can be seen clearly. There have always been two people inside, but just now, the shadow of a third person was reflected on the screen!
The three shadows are all slender women's figures, and Mao Daoxing in the hall was shocked when he saw this scene, and was just about to ask, but a muffled woman's cry came from the screen: "Oops! Where is this? Why am I lying here, why am I having pain all over my body? β
When the maid Peach heard this voice, she was overly frightened and collapsed on the ground. But after her surprise passed, another joy came to her, and she stumbled behind the screen.
"Yikes!" A woman screamed from behind the screen, "Why! Why did I become so dark and ugly! I don't want to see people anymore. β
He Angelica gently explained: "Sister, don't cry, you are blackened by the fire, and it will be okay to slowly recuperate in the future." So, everyone knew that the woman who was crying was Niu Wenlan, and she was saved by the county lord of Qingning.
Meng Xuan stopped at the entrance of the screen, didn't let Taohong in, and said with a smile: "Miss Niu said that she didn't want to see anyone, so the girl should stand outside." β
Peach insisted that "Miss is alive, and the slave must go in and serve her." β
"Who serves with you!" Niu Wenlan in the screen suddenly scolded, "Dead girl, if it weren't for your bad idea, I wouldn't have died!" β
Peach Red shrank and fell to her knees on the ground, and explained: "Miss is angry, that day at dinner in the palace, you saw Prince Peng and the Lord of Qingning County walking into the garden with a heart, you are not at ease, you have to force the slave to give you ideas, so that Master Peng will also be a little attentive to you." When the slave and maid had nothing to do, a woman appeared and said that she would do the slave and maid a favor, otherwise how could I come up with such an idea? Miss spare me, don't you also call this idea good, but you can't rely on me alone! β
What she said revealed a lot of information, and others could hear that Niu Wenlan's master and servant had planned something, but an accident happened, and Niu Wenlan was killed in a fire set by Zhu Gutan. At this point, He Angelica's murder suspicion was cleared, because the two "deceased" lived to tell the truth.
However, what everyone is most concerned about now is not the progress of the case, but whether Niu Wenlan is as lively as Li Xianqian. This is simply amazing!
The Dong family, who had laughed at He Angelica a lot just now, was now sitting on the ground. Luo Baiying reminded her: "Who said just now that He Angelica could save that dead person, and she was going to swallow the torture instrument in one bite?" It's alive. β
Dong Shi could still speak, and a pair of eyes looked up and down in disbelief. Her aunt Zhao recited Amitabha Buddha and said with a smile: "Our family has such a goddess and immortal, and the emperor will definitely reward us well when he knows it, and maybe he won't even be held accountable for the crime of rebellion." β
"What do you want to do," Dong said angrily, "Auntie, look at it, she is very good, and she will not give us the benefits." It's better to do as I say, and you and I can still have some benefits. β
As soon as Zhao heard the reason, she remembered He Angelica's expression that had nothing to do with herself just now, and she still felt very uncomfortable in her heart. Zhao asked tentatively, "What do you mean ......?"
"Pull He Angelica into the water, just like the Luo family in Huzhou pulled us into the water." Dong said coldly, "Her husband will not ignore her, if he wants to take care of her, he must first clear the Luo family's crime of rebellion, which is equivalent to saving us." Pull He Angelica into the water, so we don't have to go to prison anymore. β
Luo Chuanbai and Luo Baiying, who were listening on the side, were silent, and they may have agreed with Dong's proposal in their hearts.
