Chapter 098: Why don't you ask for the preservation of Liufu
Shen Xinman stared at the needle in his hand for a long time, and finally shouted a sentence: "This is not the cursed puppet I made people make at all!" ”
Hearing this, the ladies who came with her looked at her in surprise, and Shen Xinman realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he immediately changed his words: "No, I mean this is not the puppet I saw before, besides, the old lady's birthday on it is a demon girl...... Miss Rui's handwriting, how does Miss Rui explain this matter? ”
Ling Qingrui sneered: "I have asked you to confirm several times before, is this the cursed puppet you saw, you told me again and again that it is, and now you say no, is it all up to your mouth to reverse right and wrong?" Since you are going to ask about this note, then who told you that this is the old lady's birthday? ”
After Ling Qingrui asked, everyone remembered that the first to shout out that it was the old lady's birthday, it was not from Liufu, but the maid that Shen Xinman brought from Fangfu, how could she know the old lady's birthday, and she could see it at a glance? This seems a bit unreasonable.
Shen Xinman seemed to have found a way out at this time, and shouted urgently: "You don't care who said it, isn't this your handwriting, not the old lady's ......?"
Speaking of this, Shen Xinman stared at the words on the note and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the date on it seemed a little familiar......
"Why didn't Mrs. Fang say it, do you feel that this date is not the old lady's birthday, but it is a little familiar?"
Ling Qingrui suddenly felt a little excited, stepped forward and snatched the note from her hand, held it high, and said, "This is the day my mother passed away!" Mrs. Fang, you are so vicious, not only did you make a puppet, but also wrote my mother's death date on it to frame me! ”
"No, I didn't ......" Shen Xinman was even more panicked now, where did she think that since someone had replaced the puppet, how could she not change the note on it?
Jing Mofeng opened his mouth and said: "Fang Shen's private curse puppet, framing the daughter of Liufu, and insulting the deceased, it is really bold and unforgivable!" ”
Hearing Jing Mofeng's words, Shen Xinman was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a "poof", and kowtowed again and again: "Your Highness spares your life, and the women ...... The woman just said the wrong thing just now, the woman didn't do anything to curse the puppet, let alone frame her, Your Highness spares her life! ”
Jing Mofeng didn't pay any attention to her quibbles, and immediately ordered Li Xin to take her down, turned around and said to Liu Wenzhe: "Please don't blame Lord Liu, it's really ...... if Mofeng is acting on his behalf."
Jing Mofeng's words were not finished, but Liu Wenzhe understood, and immediately bowed deeply: "Thank you, Your Highness!" Liufu is involved, and he should avoid suspicion, and the lower officials understand. ”
On this side, Shen Xinman was picked up by Li Xin, but he was still struggling and shouting for mercy, seeing that no one was pleading for her at all, Jing Mofeng was unmoved, and suddenly shouted hysterically: "Your Highness spares her life, it's not the people's women who did it, it's ......."
Who knows, before she finished her words, she was dumb by Li Xin, who was full of disgust, and she couldn't make a sound.
Li Xin also reprimanded: "It's you who did it, no matter how much you quibble, it's useless, if you didn't do it, you wouldn't have wronged you, wait for you to speak, you can say it clearly, but now shut up for me, don't disturb Your Highness's purity." ”
Seeing that Shen Xinman was still struggling unwillingly, and a "woo" sound came out of his mouth, Ling Qingrui stepped forward slowly, and said indifferently but with a hint of coldness: "Mrs. Fang, if you don't know what to do, cloth, needlework, and stitching...... All of this proves where the Muppets came from. Instead of quibbling now, you might as well think about how you won't drag down the entire Fang Mansion. ”
Looking at Shen Xinman, whose eyes were wide open, Ling Qingrui kindly added: "I'm afraid Mrs. Fang doesn't know, doing cursed puppets and cursing is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan!" ”
Under Shen Xinman's shock and extreme fear, Li Xin took her out.
When all the guests were sent away, and someone was ordered to send the old lady back to Ronghua Hall first, and only Liu Wenzhe and Ling Qingrui were left in the room, Ling Qingrui took out the cursed puppet she told Chu Xue to take the opportunity to replace, and glanced at the so-called handwriting on it, the note written on the old lady's birthday, and a sneer was slightly hooked on her lips.
"Uncle, although this difficulty has been passed for the time being, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future, even if it can be traced out that this puppet is from the Fang Mansion, but the incident happened in the Liu Mansion, and the Liu Mansion can't get out of it after all, I'm afraid the five princes will ...... there."
Liu Wenzhe silently took the note in her hand, looked at the handwriting on it, and glanced at Ling Qingrui with a gloomy face.
"Didn't Uncle think that Rui'er was so wolf-hearted and really cursed her grandmother?"
"I just look at the handwriting that seems to be Yan'er's." Liu Wenzhe shook his head slightly, and there was great disappointment in his tone, "Yan'er may not know, since she taught her to write, she has a small habit, and the turning point will be slightly mellow, although she writes these words in imitation of your handwriting, she still unconsciously brings this habit in." ”
Ling Qingrui took the note back, leaned over the candle flame on the side to burn it, and then said, "Uncle, no matter whose handwriting it is, this is our Liufu's family affair, and it will never be leaked." ”
"Rui'er, thank you! Don't worry, I'll give you an explanation. ”
Ling Qingrui handed over the puppet to Liu Wenzhe and said, "How can Rui'er be worthy of the word thank you for her uncle?" If it weren't for my grandmother and uncle, how could I have Rui'er today. As for the confession...... Uncle doesn't have to worry about it, just let us sisters solve the matter between sisters, I just hope that my uncle won't blame me for being too ruthless. ”
Liu Wenzhe sighed and said, "Just because I have never given birth to this daughter, Rui'er can just let it go." ”
Watching Liu Wenzhe leave with the puppet, his back was slightly bent, Ling Qingrui knew that no matter what, Liu Mengyan was her daughter after all, and he was still sad.
Shaking her head slightly helplessly, Ling Qingrui looked in the direction of Ziyan Pavilion, her smile was like frost, some people will never be able to learn well.
At this time, Jing Mofeng's room.
Li Xin replied: "Your Highness, your subordinates have asked clearly, this matter really has nothing to do with Miss Rui. Shen Xinman was originally the cousin of Aunt Shen of Liufu, married into Fangfu many years ago, and usually did not have a close relationship with Aunt Shen, but she has always liked Liu Mengyan and Miss Liu Er. ”
After speaking, Li Xin saw that Jing Mofeng was just rubbing the jade pendant with his eyes down, and did not speak, Li Xin couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Your Highness, although this matter has nothing to do with Miss Rui, but the Liufu is inseparable, if it is investigated, I am afraid that not only the Fang Mansion will suffer, but even the Liufu ......."
At this time, a guard outside the door said, "Your Highness, Lord Liu asks to see you." ”
"Please come in, Lord Yanagi." Jing Mofeng commanded like this, but his slightly drooping eyes covered his gaze, making it impossible to guess what he really thought in his heart.
"But Lord Liu came here to curse the puppets?"
"Back to Your Highness, it's true, this is a puppet made by Fang Shen's family, and the lower official will present it to His Highness."
Hearing this, Jing Mofeng still didn't make any moves, just looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and said: "Lord Liu does this, can you understand that if you continue to track it down, Liu Mansion will also be implicated?" ”
Although Jing Mofeng's voice was still gentle, as if it was still the fifth prince who was as warm as jade when he had just arrived in Yunzhou, for some reason, Liu Wenzhe's heart suddenly rose with a touch of strangeness, and there seemed to be something different?
Quickly suppressing the strangeness in his heart, Liu Wenzhe replied with a wry smile: "Xia Guan understands that the life and death of the people of Fang and Liu are all in the thoughts of His Royal Highness. ”
"It's not just Mo Feng's thoughts, I believe Lord Liu should understand this."
Having said that, how can Liu Wenzhe not understand that there are too many people who have seen this incident today, even if Ling Qingrui replaced the puppet at that time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no rumors leaking out, let alone ......
Among Jing Mofeng's guards, how many are loyal to Jing Mofeng, and how many are sent by several other princes, Prince De and other forces, or even the current emperor? If you want to stop this matter, I'm afraid it will be very difficult!
Thinking of this, Liu Wenzhe stood up, knelt on the ground on his knees, and said in a solemn voice: "The lower official wants to ask His Highness for something." ”
Jing Mofeng rubbed the jade pendant's fingers slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Xiaguan has adopted a daughter from his deceased wife, and Xiaguan wants to expel this righteous daughter from Liufu, hoping that His Royal Highness will be a witness."
"Righteous daughter?" Jing Mofeng's slightly drooping eyes were as bright as stars, and countless waves were brewing in them.
"Yes, Miss Liu Furui was originally adopted by Mrs. Liu, but now that Mrs. has passed away, Xia Guan has no intention of adopting her again, and I ask Your Highness to fulfill it."
"Isn't it too cold for Lord Liu to do this? Mrs. Liu has not passed away for too long, so she is not afraid of chilling. ”
"Whether it's cold or cold, she stirs up the house in the house, and leaves her to do nothing." Liu Wenzhe also lowered his eyes slightly, and replied indifferently in his voice, no one saw the slightly tightened fingers in his sleeves, and even trembled slightly.
"Why didn't Lord Liu ask Mofeng to protect the Liu Mansion?"
Liu Wenzhe laughed miserably: "How to preserve? Forgive the official for saying a big disrespectful word, if His Royal Highness has such power, how could he be so bullied by a mere fourth-grade official that day! ”
There was almost death-like silence in the room, and Li Xin on the side was silently complaining for Miss Rui in his heart, but after hearing Liu Wenzhe's words, he was suddenly angry, if it weren't for His Royal Highness not telling him not to act rashly, Liu Wenzhe would already be a dead man now!
"Hahaha......"
Suddenly, a string of laughter came out of Jing Mofeng's mouth, the sound was extremely good, but it was like a heavy hammer, slamming into Liu Wenzhe's heart, he knew that he was too arrogant.
