Chapter 27: The Evidence Is Here
Not to mention Princess Liao and the Liao family, even Xin Nian was taken aback: this matter has developed so far, and the reactions of all parties are expected by her, and even Princess Liao will definitely send her, and she is also mentally prepared.
The pain of skin and flesh is nothing, if she is really beaten, she can sell miserably in front of Gu Changting, and pave the way for the future.
In short, since she got this opportunity, she must make use of all aspects and squeeze all the value, the greater the pay, the greater the gain.
However, she only didn't expect that the concubine, who had always been in Shouning Palace, would be involved.
The concubine is obviously here to deal with Princess Liao, if it is aimed at herself, Princess Liao is enough, and she doesn't need her old man to go out in person.
In an instant, Xin Nian's mind was racing, she remembered that the princess and the queen mother were both members of the Liao family, and the concubine was afraid that this daughter-in-law would not be very pleasing to the eye, but the Liao family was powerful, and the concubine usually had to endure it, but if there was a reason, she should not mind taking the opportunity to knock the princess.
After pondering for a while, Princess Liao and the others had already gone out. Xin Nian was about to get up, but after thinking about it, he retracted his raised body again, quietly avoided to the side, and still knelt there.
Sure enough, as soon as the concubine entered the door, she looked at her and said in surprise: "What do you say?" I also told you about your territory, and you didn't go out to meet me? It turned out to be kneeling here. What's wrong with this? And those minions in the yard, I just have nothing to do, thinking about moving my muscles and bones, and by the way, I came to see the two children, I didn't think you were so lively here. ”
This is talking nonsense with open eyes, the concubine wants to see the child, why should she come in person? Send someone to give you an order, and you will receive it immediately.
It's just that who dares to debunk? Princess Liao hung her head, and it was easy to suppress the anger in her eyes and restore her calm face, and then she listened to Xin Nian and said in a deep voice: "Back to the concubine's words, the concubine made the princess and grandmother angry, so she knelt down and asked for sin, but she didn't give orders, she didn't dare to get up, and she hoped that the concubine would forgive her sins." ”
Princess Liao: ......
Liao: ......
The concubine looked at Princess Liao and said lightly: "Is there anything you can't say well?" At every turn, he will be punished by kneeling. Now that I am here, the princess will be accommodating and tell her to get up. If the sin is unforgivable, I can't tolerate her being presumptuous. ”
Princess Liao's face turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "What did the concubine say?" I also said two words to her in anger, but I didn't expect this child to be so sincere, and he kept kneeling, I didn't know, and I thought I was a bad mother-in-law. ”
The concubine smiled slightly, and the Qin family beside her helped her to sit down on the main seat, and then glanced at the Liao family inadvertently, and said lightly: "Although General Xin is not guaranteed in the evening, the family style of the Xin family has always been rigorous, and this child is honest and not a day or two, does the princess know?" ”
"It's a bit of a surprise indeed."
The princess gritted her teeth and could only swallow blood, and came to sit down opposite the concubine. She knew that today's events were out of control, and she couldn't say that she would be slapped in the face by the concubine and the Xin family, which would be a little embarrassing.
As soon as he thought of this, he glanced at the Qin family deeply, but saw her standing beside the concubine, her eyes looking at Xin Nian, full of concern.
Sure enough, she was the demon. The princess's face sank, and then she wondered, "What is this courtyard doing?" Why do so many minions kneel? ”
The big guy personally opened his mouth to give you a chance to defend, so you can't hurry up? So Xin Nian immediately stepped forward and explained the matter in detail.
I only heard the concubine mutter: "I see." Alas! I often hear that in other noble mansions, because the master is lenient and benevolent, he doesn't want to connive at the slaves. Don't you underestimate these things, thinking that slaves can make some waves? But I don't know that the right and wrong of this tongue is secondary, and the most hateful thing is that gambling money, eating and drinking carelessly, there are mistakes everywhere, burying hidden dangers, and I don't know when it will cause a big disaster. What's more, those powerful minions have to gain an inch, steal things, and bully their masters. If this unhealthy wind is not stopped in time, who knows what will happen in the future? Today is a poisonous snake, and if you can't keep Qi Ming'er, you can let the thief in. ”
The concubine said this, who would dare to refute it? The princess only has the share of promises.
At this time, I heard Xin Nian say: "Tell the concubine, the princess, the concubine is also because of this, so she didn't let go of any clues when she asked, only to know that these minions have a low status, but they have bad deeds, so I ordered someone to search their residences." ”
Speaking of this, he turned around and instructed Xinghua: "Let people bring up everything they find." ”
"Yes."
Xinghua agreed, waved her hand, and soon several mothers-in-law came in carrying two large wooden boxes.
The concubine and the others looked over and saw that the two wooden boxes were divided into more than 30 grids, and each box contained several things.
Liao Shi only glanced at it, and then gasped, only to feel a blackness in front of him.
Sure enough, the next moment, I saw Xinghua pointing to the first grid and said: "This is something that was found in the room of Mother Sang last night, Princess Taifei, please see, there are three kinds of gambling equipment alone, Pai Gow Dice Horse Hang, there are more than a dozen jars of good wine in her house, which occupies a large space, so I didn't take it in, it was placed outside the courtyard, and there were more than a dozen yuan suspected of gambling money......"
The concubine and Princess Liao turned pale.
Xinghua pointed to another grid and continued: "This is something from Fang's mother's house, someone came out to expose it, saying that three of the gold jewelry were stolen from Aunt Qin and the third girl's house, and I haven't had time to verify it yet." ”
Aunt Qin is the concubine of Prince Duan, the third girl is her daughter, and the mother and daughter are afraid of Princess Liao, so they don't go out easily, and they are like transparent people in the palace.
Xin Nian looked at Princess Liao from the corner of her eye, and it was rare to see the corners of Princess Niangniang's mouth twitching: Aunt Qin and the third girl have a low status, and there will be gold jewelry in the house, needless to say, it was naturally given by Prince Duan, which shows that although Aunt Qin has a humble status, she is still favored in front of the prince.
Liao's brain turned quickly, and he immediately came up with a way to deal with it, but before she could speak, the mother of the party was frightened, and she had already shouted: "The old slave is wronged, it is not Aunt Qin's jewelry, it is the old slave who prepared to leave it for her daughter to wear." ”
"For my daughter?" A smile flashed across Xin Nian's face: "Can your daughter wear this jewelry?" ”
Mother Fang's old face turned red, and the plum blossom gold hairpin was inlaid with a pearl the size of a finger's belly, which was not at all a jewelry that slave women could wear, and she changed her words because she was busy: "Old slave...... The old slave is going to give it away......"
"That's enough."
The concubine said coldly: "Since it is Aunt Qin's, I will send someone back later." What else? All of them are reported up, and we can also open our eyes and see what these slaves who are only willing to make promises on weekdays, what are they doing behind their backs? ”
