Chapter 12: Slander
Mrs. Xu couldn't care about the dispute between Fang Cai and Su Wu when she heard this, and hurriedly walked to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Su Rouer distressedly: "Rou'er, you finally woke up, do you know, you fell into the water and fell unconscious, my mother almost thought that I couldn't see you......" She covered her face and wiped her tears.
Su Rouer wiped the tears on Mrs. Xu's face with her hand, and said with a sad look: "Mother, my daughter didn't know why she suddenly fell into the water, but since the second sister fell into the water and woke up, her daughter has been a little unwell, and her daughter thought it was nothing, but she thought that she was dizzy today, so she fell into the water, and her daughter couldn't live with her mother, so that her mother was worried about her daughter." ”
The words were quietly transferred to Su Rou'er, Su Niang was already mentally prepared, but her eyes swept to Su Rou'er lightly, falling into the water is indeed a victim, but what if someone is willing to suffer this?
Zhao Wanjun couldn't hold it back, she took a few steps forward, and said: "Aunt Xu, Wanjun heard that Rou'er's sister fell into the water in the backyard, so she was very worried, and asked her maid Zhu'er to pick out a good jade paste from some supplements, and eat it to drive away the cold, warm the stomach and nourish the body, so that the cold person can recover as soon as possible, so she came to bring it to her sister, and I hope that Aunt Xu and her sister will laugh." ”
Seeing this, Zhu'er handed the wooden box containing the jade paste to Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Wanjun is so polite, Rou'er is really blessed to have a good sister like you." ”
Zhao Wanjun smiled gently.
At this time, Su Nanhua wore a brown brocade dress and took Mrs. Zhang and Liu Yu into the house, looking a little displeased, he glanced at Mrs. Xu, and then at Su Yu, who was not flustered, and frowned: "What happened here?
Su Rou'er said like a weak willow in the wind: "Dad, it's all Rou'er's carelessness, she fell into the water, and it has nothing to do with others." ”
Zhao Wanjun suddenly took a few steps forward and said, "My daughter asks her father to say goodbye, and my daughter has something to explain to her father." ”
"What's the matter? ”
Zhao Wanjun pursed her lips and glanced at Su Wu hesitantly, and then seemed to have made up her mind, and said: "Back to my father's words, although Rou'er's sister fell into the water without being harmed by others, she can't get rid of Su Wu's relationship. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Su Nanhua looked puzzled.
Liu Yu looked at Su Wu worriedly, and Su Wu turned her head and smiled faintly to signal that she didn't have to worry.
"Back to my father, early this morning, Aunt Xu invited a group of sisters to go to the backyard of Su Mansion to watch the monks cast spells and drive away the evil spirit in the house, but the monk said that Su Wu had a bad breath between her eyebrows, which would harm the people who had a lot of relationship with her, this Rou'er sister and Su Er were sisters, and it happened that when the monk said that Su Rou was the source of the demonic energy in the house, Rou'er sister was told that the news of falling into the water was transmitted, therefore, the daughter thought that Su Er was the culprit of Rou'er's sister falling into the water. Zhao Wanjun said clearly.
Su Wan frowned, but she was faintly interested, couldn't she hold back so quickly? I didn't expect the original form to be revealed so quickly, but, Zhao Wanjun, I'm afraid you found the wrong time.
Su Nanhua was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "Presumptuous! Rou'er is the concubine of Su Mansion, how can a monk talk nonsense and speculate? What does Rou'er have to do with Rou'er falling into the water and her daughter-in-law?"
Mrs. Xu's eyes were red, and she said with a crying voice: "Is the master only partial to Su Wan? Rou'er is also your daughter! She fell into the water, shouldn't the old man care about finding out the real culprit behind the scenes? Why does the master not believe the words of others and protect Su Wu wholeheartedly? If this is the case, if Rou'er can't get justice, the concubine might as well die?"
Although Su Nanhua said this, he was still a little reluctant to Mrs. Xu, he hurriedly stopped Mrs. Xu and said: "You know that I don't mean this, Rou'er and Rou'er are my daughters, how can I ......?"
Mrs. Xu still refused to give up and said, "Master, you can't tell the truth from the fake in your concubine, when will the master be able to do this?"
Su Nanhua sighed, and was about to speak again, when Xuanyuan Jinnian walked in in a white embroidered brocade robe like an immortal.
His thin lips opened slightly: "Is the prime minister handling family affairs?" This prince waited in the main hall for a while, but he did not see the prime minister return, so he could only take the liberty of coming to the west courtyard. ”
"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Prince. Everyone knelt down and saluted, and Su Xian's heart moved.
Su Nanhua said respectfully: "What did the prince say, the minister made His Royal Highness the prince laugh, this is the ugliness of the family and cannot be publicized, this is the minister's concubine, this is the minister's concubine, Su Rouer, she just woke up from falling into the water, the minister is rushing to visit, negligently took care of His Royal Highness, the old minister should die." ”
Xuanyuan Jinnian hooked his lips, he was not interested in Su Rouer, but Su Rouer looked at Xuanyuan Jinnian in a daze, her eyes were full of admiration, there are still such handsome people in the world, it is really a jade tree in the wind, like a fairy.
He turned to look at Su Nanhua and said lightly: "It's okay, since the prime minister is dealing with family affairs, this prince will not bother, he will leave first, and come back to visit in the future." "Let's get ready to leave.
Su Xian would not give up this opportunity to let Xuanyuan Jinnian remember her, she hurriedly walked a few steps and said, "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stay." ”
Everyone was surprised, Xuanyuan Jinnian froze, turned around, and said in a weak tone: "What else is going on?"
"If you go back to Your Highness, the courtier also wants to ask Her Highness to become a witness to witness the culprit of the courtier's sister Su Rouer falling into the water, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can make a reasonable decision. She said with a slim voice.
Xuanyuan Jinnian became interested when he heard this, and said, "Since this is the case, the prince will stay for a while." ”
Su Qian said softly: "Father, my daughter also thinks that Rou'er's sister falling into the water has something to do with Su Wan, and I also ask my father to make a fair judgment under the witness of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Xuanyuan Jinnian frowned slightly when he heard this, he wanted to hear about things related to Su Wan.
The corners of his lips curled slightly.
Su Nanhua was a little displeased, but because Xuanyuan Jinnian was here, he had to say: "Since you all say that your daughter is the disaster star of Sufu, then you might as well invite that monk to come, whether it is true or not, you will know it by asking." ”
Half an hour later, the monk came with Buddhist beads, and he saluted and said: "The poor road is seeing the prime minister, I don't know why the adults invited the poor road to come?"
Su Nanhua asked: "The monk said that the little girl Su Wu is a disaster star, but what the old man said is true?"
The monk's face changed slightly, but he still said calmly: "Poor Dao did say this. ”
"Do monks know that slandering the daughter of an official at will will be punished with forty rods at the least, and beheaded immediately, the monk knows the consequences, if he speaks falsely, but he thinks clearly that he is risking the death penalty?" Xuanyuan Jinnian suddenly spoke. Although the tone is light, every word is fine.
Beads of sweat were evident on the monk's forehead, and he looked up at Mrs. Xu, and with a threatening gaze, he could only reluctantly say: "What the poor Dao said will not be false, how can it be slandered? The poor Dao has practiced for decades, and with a lifetime of cultivation as a guarantee, he dare not have a false word." ”
