Chapter 54: Thank you, Lord Wang
Ping'er suddenly stopped and looked at Song Qian blankly.
"Also, I found dirt near the pond on the ground in your room, but you don't seem to have been to the pond, have you? So, who went in?"
Song Qian said his suspicion just now, his eyes glanced at everyone present, and his tone was full of questions.
Zhao Liuyin was shocked in his heart, and immediately grabbed Hongyin's hand. She didn't expect Song Qian to intervene at this time, and she also found clues.
Now only Ping'er can stop talking nonsense in order to ensure that her plan will not be exposed.
Thinking like this, Zhao Liuyin looked at Ping'er with cold eyes. It seems to say that if she dares to talk nonsense, her family will be finished.
Noticing the threat, the only remaining cry for help in Ping'er's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly pushed Song Qian away, and shouted sharply: "The person who bears the blame for me should be you, how can you get out!" I hate you all!"
Hongyin got Zhao Liuyin's hint and took the opportunity to speak, "Lord Wang, this Ping'er was a little crazy when he was in the mansion earlier, and he had a few small fights. Madame and Mademoiselle thought of her pitiful, and did not care to leave her behind. I didn't think she could do such a rebellious thing, but she was really a white-eyed wolf."
In this way, it makes sense why Ping'er reacted so much, it turned out that he was just a madman.
Song Qian staggered back a few steps and stood still, looking at Ping'er's eyes full of sympathy. She knew that there must be something else hidden in this, but Ping'er refused to say it, and she couldn't reveal the true colors of those people.
Maybe that's what she did.
Thinking so, Song Qian had no choice but to turn around, sigh secretly, and no longer interfere in this matter.
Seeing this, Zhao Liuyin pushed the boat down the river and said, "Lord Wang, this Ping'er has been with me for the most years. Now, despite the conclusive evidence, I have no heart to punish her. How to deal with it is still up to the prince to decide." She wouldn't be this wicked person.
Ji Changye saw that Ping'er was determined to admit this crime, so he could only follow her, no longer delaying anything, but looked at Zeng Kangan and said: "Such bold people murder the emperor's relatives and relatives and slander others in vain. But this is Sulou Town, so how to deal with it is up to the county magistrate."
"Yes, the minister will pronounce this man according to the law." At this time, Zeng Kangan already had a layer of cold sweat on his back, and respectfully accepted the order. Then let the officials take down Ping'er, who had just gone crazy for a while and made himself unkempt.
And at the same time, he was also happy that Song Qian could clear up his grievances.
Seeing that this matter was over, Zhao Liuyin said, "Thanks to the prince's discernment, he was able to win the announcement for Liuyin, how about staying for dinner if the prince didn't dislike it? You and I haven't seen each other for many years, and we can catch up with each other, and I think the Queen Mother feels the same way."
Changfeng couldn't help but slander Zhao Liuyin for knowing how to do it, and felt that she was self-inflicted. Ji Changye tossed for so long, why was it to get justice for her? Obviously, it was because they wronged Song Niangzi, in order to return Song Niangzi's innocence.
How could she be embarrassed to say such things?
After glancing at it helplessly, Changfeng wanted to excuse Ji Changye from her entanglement, so he said, "Lord Wang, didn't you say that you were unwell? Mrs. Song stewed medicine for your home, you have to take the medicine on time."
Did you hear that? I don't want to stay, and if I want to go back, I will go back to Song Qian.
But Ji Changye didn't follow his words this time, and looked at Song Qian with melancholy eyes for a moment, and then looked indifferently at Zhao Liuyin who actually agreed to her words.
Zhao Liuyin knew how to contain Ji Changye, that is, to move the Queen Mother out and press him, so that even if Ji Changye didn't want to, he had to agree.
Changfeng looked at his master in shock, thinking that he must be tired and confused. In front of Mrs. Song, she agreed to stay and dine with Zhao Liuyin.
Listening to their conversation, Song Qian's expression was indifferent, and there was no displeasure and anger as Changfeng expected.
"Lord Wang, Miss Zhao. In that case, the maiden took her leave." With that, Song Qian turned around and left.
Changfeng looked at her back and could only be anxious.
Zhao Liuyin was full of joy when he saw Song Qian, who was in the way, leaving, but he saw Ji Chang in his eyes again
An Shishuang, who was eyeing her at night, suddenly became displeased, and said to her with a forced smile: "Shishuang, you have worked hard today, go back and rest early."
Finally saw Ji Changye, how could An Shishuang leave easily, but she didn't hear the meaning of Zhao Liuyin's words, and denied it: "Liuyin, you're polite, I'm not hard, and I'm not tired. Since the prince wants to stay for dinner, Shishuang must serve on the left and right. Lord, did you say?"
Ji Changye had no intention of paying attention to the matter between them, and after retracting his gaze from Song Qian's direction, he turned around and walked towards the house, ignoring any of them.
An Shishuang was wondering why Ji Changye was so cold to him, and Zhao Liuyin couldn't bear to give Ying'er a look.
Ying'er had to take the order, and said to An Shishuang with the courage to say, "Miss, you have really worked hard today, so it's better to go back and rest more." If the prince sees your haggard appearance here, what should he do? Why don't we come back next time we're rested?" After that, she shrank back, for fear that An Shishuang would blame her for talking too much and beat her.
After hearing this, An Shishuang immediately became worried, and felt that what Ying'er said was very reasonable, so he wanted to pull her away: "You're right, you can't let the prince see me like this. Let's go back and rest quickly, and we can see the prince early next time."
Ying'er suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and left with An Shishuang.
Zhao Liuyin dissipated his displeasure and showed a satisfied look, and then instructed Hongyin, who felt that Ying'er had suffered a disaster here, and said, "Go to the best restaurant and order some wine and food, don't snub the prince."
"Yes, Miss." Hongyin didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to do it.
Song Qian was walking in the direction of the shop, because there was no carriage, she could only walk.
Just then, a voice called from behind her.
"Song Niangzi! Song Niangzi stays!"
Song Qian turned around with a puzzled voice, and was a little surprised when he saw that the person who caught up was Zeng Kangan, and asked, "My lord, is there anything else that hasn't been done and I need to be done?"
Is it hard to go back and take a transcript? It's too much trouble.
Zeng Kangan panted and waved his hand against the wall, and only opened his mouth after calming down his breath: "I sent something for you."
When the words fell, he took out a money bag from the clothes on his chest, which was full of silver taels, and Zeng Kangan stuffed it to Song Qian without saying anything.
Song Qian hurriedly returned it and said, "These things can't be accepted by the people's daughters, what are you doing?"
"Today's incident has wronged you, if I hadn't forced you to make something for Miss Zhao, today's incident would not have happened, and you would have been wronged and insulted. These things should be compensated for you, Song Niangzi, don't shirk and accept it, it can be regarded as giving me face."
Zeng Kangan felt very guilty about Song Qian, because he let Song Qian wade into this troubled water.
He didn't dare to think that if Ji Changye hadn't come forward today, Song Qian would have really been arrested as a murderer and put in prison and finally beheaded for public display. Fortunately, there was no danger, so that Song Qian was innocent. But he still couldn't let go, so he could only use this method to make up for Song Qian.
Song Qian knew that Zeng Kangan was really benevolent to him, and he also knew that this matter was his unintentional move, so she couldn't accept it, otherwise it would be difficult to feel at ease.
"My lord, no one is to blame for this. If you want to blame those who have a heart, you want to harm people. You might as well take back this silver tael, and if you do more good deeds, you can make up for the people's daughter, how about it?"
Seeing that she refused to accept it, Zeng Kangan had no choice but to compromise and promised, "Don't worry, Mrs. Song, I will definitely not swallow these silver taels privately."
Song Qian smiled slightly, and just as she was about to leave, Zeng Kangan stopped her again.
Seeing that people were hesitating, Song Qian opened his mouth to comfort: "My lord, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
"Today's matter, with all due respect. If there is no prince to come forward, I am afraid that Song Niangzi will not be able to come out. So you have to be thankful to the prince. Although the prince has seen all the good things in the imperial capital, you can also show your heart by sending some things, right? I guess the prince must be happy."
Listening to Zeng Kangan's words, Song Qian felt that it made sense, so he nodded and responded: "It's still the county magistrate who is thoughtful, and the people's daughter really wants it."
Haosheng thanked the prince. But I also want to thank you, my lord, if it weren't for your words to defend it, it is estimated that the people would also ...... If the adults don't dislike it, the people made some food and sent it to the county government earlier, which is not expensive but it is also a heart, and I hope the adults will accept it."
If you take money to thank Zeng Kangan, the reputation spread is not good, so it is better to send some food, which not only expresses gratitude but also does not embarrass Zeng Kangan, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"Since Song Niangzi has said so, I have no reason to refuse. Then it's decided, do you want me to send a carriage to take you back?" Zeng Kangan noticed that Song Qian wanted to walk back just now, this distance is not close, and walking back will definitely delay time and things.
Besides, he also knew that Song Qian was carrying a half-old child, and he must be at home alone at this time, and it would be bad if no one watched what happened.
So without waiting for Song Qian to agree, he ordered the officials who were chasing him to rush a carriage and send Song Qian back.
And Zeng Kang'an was worried that Yuan Bao was pacing in the shop at this time, and He Yujin, who was sitting at the table, was dizzy by his turn, and couldn't bear it: "I said Yuan Bao, can you sit down quietly and stay for a while?"
Yuan Bao suddenly stopped, pulled up his waist and said, "Ah Jin, my mother and mother have been arrested by those officials, how can I sit down with peace of mind? I don't know what happened to my mother, and whether those bad people will embarrass her. Obviously, my mother is so kind, how could she poison others! They must have made a mistake, I'm going to see my mother."
Saying that, he was about to run out, but fortunately he was dragged back by the quick-eyed and Yujin by the waist.
He Yujin knew that Ji Changye would definitely go to protect Song Qian's safety, so he comforted Yuanbao with a look of no worry: "You just put a hundred hearts, I have already told Brother Ji, he will definitely spare no effort to save Song Niangzi." Now I just need you to stay here honestly and don't do anything, after all, Mrs. Song entrusted you to me, and I can have a good explanation, right?" ap.
After saying that, he turned around with the ingot, lest he run out while he was not paying attention.
Listening to He Yujin's words, Yuan Bao suddenly frowned.
Ji Changye will also intervene in this matter?
Then he will be even more worried about Song Qian, don't be deceived by Ji Changye, a bad man!
"I don't care, I'm going to find my mother. Ah Jin, don't stop me."
Seeing that the persuasion of Yu Jin was fruitless, he could only hold the ingots tightly, and when the two of them were entangled, Song Qian stopped outside the shop in a carriage.
"Yuanbao, Ah Jin?"
Song Qian walked in and looked at the two of them for some reason, thinking that the two of them had some kind of contradiction, and just wanted to ask clearly, he was hugged tightly by the ingots who came over.
"Mother, Yuanbao is so worried about you."
Hearing the voice with a crying tone, Song Qian's heart suddenly tightened.
