Chapter 275: Confession
Prince Ren was stunned: "The liar is red-haired, and it just so happens that she knows how to dye her hair red, and you are in Nangang City, haven't you met a lot of pearl sellers?" Isn't that enough? ”
Qian Jun was furious, his hands were clenched, and the green tendons burst out, he endured it again and again before he could continue to speak, instead of smashing it with a fist: "Father and the king dare to say that the princess arranged for someone to deceive the princess and the second wife?" ”
Prince Ren knew that these persuasiveness was far from enough, but Concubine Dong fanned the flames, which made him lose his mind a little, and now, in the face of his son's questioning, he was a little unreasonable.
"Father, who did you listen to that the princess knows how to dye her hair red?"
"When the princess was in Shanyang, she taught a legless family to make leather boots, and the family regarded the princess as a benefactor, and what their family knew, there was no reason why the princess should not know."
Qian Jun was very angry, but laughed instead: "Hehe, father, I know about this, the princess said at the time: 'The color of the walnut skin dyes on the hand, and it can't fade for several days, this animal skin and hand skin should be the same, you either try it and see if you can dye the skin out of color.'" The family did as they were told, and after a long time they tried, and sure enough, they came up with skins of all colors. Lord, the princess was dressed as a man at that time, and she had never learned to be a female celebrity at all, and she didn't know how to make shoes until now, do you think she would cheat today, and specially asked people for a recipe for dyeing skin? Besides, isn't the recipe for dyeing skin and hair the same? Have you ever seen the princess test this? ”
"Do you still use her to do it herself?"
"Lord, according to what you say, do you first arrest the person who can dye his hair and try it for trial? Also, I don't know how many craftsmen make leather boots in the capital, let alone how many there are in the country, the princess knows, don't others know this? The princess has money, not to mention that the emperor promised to return the money I spent for the northern Xinjiang, I didn't ask for it, why did I deceive the princess? If it weren't for the money, the princess would have been deceived, what benefit would the princess have? Lord, think about it, who is the biggest beneficiary of this matter? Could it be that the princess has a bad brain, she specializes in making wedding dresses for others, risking her life to work hard, and then, she doesn't want any benefits, and she has to bear the trouble? ”
Prince Ren originally thought that it was Wen Jin's hands and feet, no matter how tired he was of Wen Jin, he still admitted that this woman was very smart, and she could easily earn a lot of money in such a harsh environment, so that the family could live comfortably.
Now, Qian Jun's rhetorical question, Prince Ren was speechless again, and his heart began to waver, yes, what his son said is reasonable, who is making trouble in a matter, just look at the final result - who is the biggest beneficiary of this matter.
It's obviously Concubine Dong, is she shouting to catch a thief? But why did she frame the princess? Doesn't she know that the princess will never give up easily, and will never be wronged unjustly?
Qian Jun saw that Lao Tzu lowered his eyelids and didn't speak, and continued unwillingly: "Lord Wang, don't you think this matter is very strange? The princess used to be from Shanyang, which is good, but my father doesn't want to think about it, from the capital to Shanyang, it takes 20 days to whip up the horse, how long does it take to go back and forth? Could it be that as soon as this thing came out, some people immediately thought that it was the princess who did it? Even if he suspected that the princess had done it and started to investigate her, how could he think of going to Shanyang to investigate immediately? In Shanyang, there are many families with good relations between the princess and the neighbors, how can this person ask the disabled person who makes leather boots, and how does he know that hair can be dyed? Don't you think things are too weird? Someone splashed dirty water on the head of the princess, he must have wanted to hit me, hit my uncle, hmph, such an obvious shameless move, the prince did not say that he was justifying our name, but he was still suspicious. ”
Speaking of this, Qian Jun's voice seemed to be blocked by something, and his voice changed: "Father, you don't like me, I can bear it, but how can the princess provoke you?" Why do you always have trouble with her? She is such a good woman, if I hadn't died begging to marry her, which family would she marry to, and she wouldn't be held and loved by her in-laws and husbands? Not to mention anything else, not long ago, the Shi family of Shi Zhenzong, who was promoted by the emperor, was bent on marrying the princess back then, and now, their family also married their daughter to the younger brother of the princess, if it weren't for the character of the princess, could they do this? I regret it, I regret that I dragged her to a nest of right and wrong like our family, what can I do when I am a princess? She is not one of those people who likes to show off, she really might as well be a general's wife, and it is good to be held by people everywhere. ”
Prince Ren has been completely defeated by his son's words, if this matter is connected with the court dispute, Concubine Dong's intentions are too obvious. Not only can she use this to control the princess in the mansion, but the Dong family can also meddle in the affairs of Northern Xinjiang and compete with the Shen family brothers.
Shen Mingzhao is good at everything, it is too peaceful, he is too unwilling to fight, before, he let Yao Guangyuan press down, and it was easy for Qian Jun to find out that the Yao family was illegal in Nangang City and helped him remove a big stone, but Shen Mingzhao failed to keep the status of the first cabinet minister, and now, he even let Dong Jincai climb up again, and co-opted a group of people to confront him in the imperial court.
Prince Ren's mind drifted completely to the court dispute, and he forgot to talk about it with his son, and after a while, he suddenly woke up and realized that he was once again in front of his son, and he could not step down.
Admitting his mistakes, he will never will. In this world, there is no Lao Tzu who admits his mistakes to his son, isn't there a saying called "parents who are nothing"? He was wrong, and his son had to listen, and now, his son dared to question him, which was already a big disapproval of the world, and it had already made him lose face, and he would no longer accuse or pursue it, even if he was worthy of them. Doing a good job of psychological defense, Prince Ren stood up and planned to do this, but it was over.
"Lord Wang, the child has another word to remind you, you have to guard against Concubine Dong, don't mix our family affairs with the disputes in the court."
"Hmm!" Promised his son, Prince Ren walked out, and suddenly remembered the sound just now, he lost the prestige of Lao Tzu, and was actually commanded by his son, but the matter has come to this, and what he said cannot be taken back.
"Mind yourself, I know what to do." Reluctantly saying a word to save face, Prince Ren left the outer study and went to the inner courtyard.
Concubine Dong thought that if she gave a man some eye medicine, the prince would send someone to keep an eye on the princess, and maybe she could find more clues, at least, so that the prince would be wary of the princess, and then she would act well. Unexpectedly, the prince came back, and the two faced each other again. The servant sent out to keep an eye on the outer courtyard reported the news, and she was worried that it would be difficult to sit still, the prince rarely had the upper hand in front of the prince, and this time she had no real evidence, how could she win just by relying on those speculations?
"How is the prince?" Concubine Dong asked a little nervously.
"I don't know, I'm not happy, but I'm not particularly angry."
Concubine Dong was even more difficult to guess, she frowned and thought for a long time, instead of sitting and waiting to die, it was better to take the initiative, Concubine Dong asked, "Where did the prince go?" ”
"It seems to have gone to Mrs. Chen."
"Keep an eye on it, and if you come out, let me know immediately."
"Yes!" Several women in the inner courtyard have a habit of sending cronies to inquire about the whereabouts of the prince outside, and Concubine Dong's trick will not attract the attention of others.
Until the lights went out, Prince Ren didn't come out, Concubine Dong was relieved, and there was a night for her to think about the arrangement, which was a good thing.
Prince Ren now, every time there is something to worry about, he will come to Xinna's concubine, Mrs. Chen's title has not come down, the honorific title of Mrs., but also the people in the house see her favored, intended to compliment, this Mrs. Chen's brother, is to follow the prince to the West Xinjiang to fight, although the official is low, but there is affection, he through the relationship, give his sister to Prince Ren, nothing more than to want to go to the next level, Prince Ren did not let him down, the two men are happy, no one cares what Mrs. Chen's mood is a little woman.
Prince Ren saw that the women in his backyard wanted to take care of the housekeeper one by one, so he wanted to use this method to please the newcomer, he enjoyed Mrs. Chen's kneading and pinching of the back very comfortably, and he hummed and said while speaking: "I want you to take care of the needlework in the house, do you think it is difficult?" ”
Mrs. Chen was really overjoyed, and her subordinates used more moderate force, and she said modestly: "The prince has a life, dare to disobey?" Qing'er must learn from her mother on needlework. ”
"You don't have to do that, as long as you get things done."
Concubine Dong didn't expect that the price of a good night's dream was that the power in her hand was smaller, and when Princess Ren told her the news the next morning, she was a little stunned, and finally, she said stupidly: "The needlework room is fine, she takes care of it." But I feel very uncomfortable, a concubine who has no name shares the fruits with herself, she has worked so hard to get so unlucky. At the same time, Concubine Dong also guessed the result of the conversation between Prince Ren and the prince yesterday, which must be very unfavorable to herself, she complained a little about her sister-in-law, such an unreliable thing, she had to poke it out by herself, now it's okay, lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot.
All morning, Concubine Dong was absent-minded, constantly thinking about how to recover her losses, the most important thing was to save her position in Prince Ren's mind, not only for herself, but also for her son. Prince Ren seemed to know Concubine Dong's thoughts, and ignored her for a few days, either going to Mrs. Chen's or to Concubine Yang. "Lord Wang-" Before Concubine Dong said a word, she was already teary-eyed, although her tears were not as powerful as the princess, but they were not small, Prince Ren really relented and sighed.
