Chapter 15: It's better to lose face than to lose your life

Dingyuan Houqi's breathing intensified, and he stepped forward two steps closer.

"Nian'er, how do you talk to Hou Ye?"

The monarch of the Eastern Song Dynasty stepped in, as if he had just heard the news.

"The princess is young and can't speak, so Master Hou won't take it to heart, right?"

The wind is light and the clouds are light, and the words are full of protection.

The Marquis of Dingyuan calmed down for a moment, "The old minister doesn't dare." ”

"To say, it's just a matter between two children, what are we adults mixed up with?"

Glancing at Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis, her gaze was solemn.

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou was pale and crumbling, gritting her teeth to hold on.

"It's all because the old minister has no way to teach his son, so that the rebel son makes the princess unhappy."

Marquis Dingyuan said that he was guilty, but his expression was full of resentment.

The Eastern Song Dynasty monarch's eyes were cold, "Does Hou Ye An think that Nian'er has done something wrong?" ”

Marquis Dingyuan was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly spoke, "The old minister doesn't dare." ”

"Father's ......"

The monarch of the Eastern Song Dynasty waved his hand, "Take out ten Dongzhu to make amends, Anhou is really generous." ”

As a word came out, cold sweat dripped down his cheeks and fell on the marble, making a crackling sound.

The Marquis of Dingyuan couldn't help but complain in his heart about the stupidity of Mrs. Dingyuanhou.

If she hadn't made her own decisions, how would he need to break the game?

"Your Majesty, Madame heard that the son of evil had made a mistake and the princess had lost face, so she gave everything she had and wanted to make amends to the princess."

"Those ten Dongzhu are indeed the dowry of the lady, but it is just the dowry of the old minister's original wife."

Hearing this, all eyes were focused on the Marquis of Dingyuan.

According to the law of the Eastern Song Dynasty, after the death of the dowry holder, the dowry goes to his children.

If there are no children, it must be returned to the wife's parents, otherwise it is illegal appropriation of property.

According to the law, not only must the usurped dowry be returned, but also the public cane must be punished.

Chu Nian'er understood Dingyuanhou's thoughts in an instant, it is better to lose face than to lose your life!

"Mrs. Hou said that this Dongzhu is her dowry, it seems that Mrs. Hou deceived this princess?"

"Sure enough, it's the Marquis of Dingyuan, relying on the grace of this princess, and fooling this princess as a fool!"

Chu Nian'er spoke fiercely, and her eyes pressed towards Dingyuan Hou.

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou hurriedly kowtowed, her forehead was red and swollen, "It's all the courtier's fault, and it has nothing to do with the Hou Ye."

"My sister is seriously ill and her time is short, so for the sake of my thoughtful care, she gave Dongzhu to me and asked me to take good care of Master Hou."

"My sister is afraid that I will have low self-esteem, and I am not allowed to mention this matter to others, not because I have the intention of deceiving the princess."

Sentence after sentence, for fear that the situation would expand and be punished again.

Chu Nian'er laughed mockingly, "I really don't know which sentence of your Hou Mansion is true and which sentence is false." ”

"I dare to lie in front of my father, and sure enough, the upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked."

Dingyuanhou's face turned pale, and sweat dripped into his eyes, "The old minister is guilty." ”

"Father, you must not be appeased, otherwise others will follow the same example in the future, and the royal dignity will be gone."

Chu Nian'er looked like a little girl, but what she said was terrifying.

"Nian'er said, how should I punish it?"

The monarch of the Eastern Song Dynasty looked like an old father and looked at her dotingly.

The corners of Chu Nian'er's mouth were slightly hooked, "It's better to let Mrs. Hou and Master Hou beat each other's boards, twenty boards per person, whoever shouts pain first, and the rest of the boards will be beaten by the rest of the people." ”

She knew that this was her father's temptation to see if she had really changed.

The people present felt a chill in their hearts, this would not only make Dingyuan Marquis lose face, but also make the husband and wife estranged!

It's ruthless!

The monarch of the Eastern Song Dynasty looked proud, "Okay, just listen to the eldest princess." ”

The monarch said that the horse is difficult to chase.
