Flowers are expensive

Chapter 409 Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet 9
When Zhong Shi heard this, she was so angry that she almost fainted!You Xian'er shook her head and said: "What an insatiable greedy person! You dare to greed even the relief money, you should give your conscience to the dog! Hu Po, drag your mother to [-] boards first, it's too irritating !"

As soon as Yan Amber raised her hand, two guards came to fight her.Zhong was in a panic, and hurriedly lay down in front of Tang Xuanzhen, and shouted loudly: "Zhen'er, you have to save your mother! Mother will be beaten to death, Zhen'er, you can't just ignore death!"

Tang Xuanzhen doesn't want to see this mother at all now, it's too embarrassing!She knows about bullying and bullying people on weekdays, but she didn't expect to be greedy for relief money!Tang Xuanzhen sat on the stool and turned her face away, pretending not to hear!
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhong struggled and rushed over, grabbed Tang Xuanzhen's hand and cried, "Zhen'er, you can't be so heartless! After all, I am your mother! Do you really have the heart? Isn't it right for your mother to do this?" For you! Back then you nodded and agreed!"

When Tang Xuanzhen heard this, his face was completely dark, and he tried his best to break free from Zhong's hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't even know what you did outside! If I had known that you were in the Ci'an Department You're so arrogant, I really shouldn't have recognized you, mother!"

"Drag on!" Yan Amber shouted.

Two guards came forward to fight Zhong Shi, Zhong Shi was so frightened that he trembled all over, hugged Tang Xuanzhen's legs tightly, and exclaimed: "Zhen'er, you can't be so heartless! Thirty boards, my mother will beat you!" Damn it! Mother is all for you! You knew about the blessing meeting in advance, but now that something is wrong, you don't care about mother?"

The repeated panic caused Zhong to throw out all the old things, Tang Xuanzhen's whole face turned green in an instant, and there was an urge to find a hole in the ground to get in!

"Ms. Zhong," Xixi said with a smile, "doesn't your old man make up too much nonsense? Who still believes your words now? Miss Tang is the most benevolent person in Jingyou City. How could she say something like you?" Like you said, are you doing whatever you can to get into the palace? In the end, it’s all because you are greedy and want to be a mother-in-law! I think you’d better stop howling and let’s talk about it after you’ve been punished!”

"Miss Liang! Miss Liang! Forgive me! I'm not making up nonsense, what I'm saying is true! If Zhen'er doesn't want to, can I still force her? She wants to enter the palace!" Crawling towards Xixi like a caterpillar, she begged, "Miss Liang, you are a good person, please, let the prince let me go! I will be beaten to death as an old woman!"

Xixi looked down at her and asked with a smile: "I'm a good person? Don't you go around telling people that I'm a vixen? Forget it, how can I be a good person? A good person is sitting over there, here, your living Bodhisattva girl , you call a good man for help, go there! How can I, a vixen, control you?"

"Miss Liang! Miss Liang! I was wrong! I was really wrong!" Zhong hurriedly kowtowed on the steps, crying and confessing, "I was confused for a moment! I shouldn't call you a vixen, What a vixen you are! Miss Liang, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me! Pity me as a mother, it's all for my Zhen'er!"

Xi Xi smiled and said, "Come on, Mrs. Zhong, just say it for yourself, why do you always pull Miss Tang on? If you have this time, you might as well go to the board, maybe it's all over now." Go home!"

Mrs. Zhong climbed two more steps forward, begging hard: "Miss Liang, what I'm telling is the truth! Yes, I made up those rumors, but that was just a moment of anger! My Zhen'er loved it since she was a child. Wang Ye, she fell in love with her elder sister Rong and Wang Ye when they got along..."

"Nonsense!" Tang Xuanzhen shouted with a livid face.

"Did you hear that? People say you're talking nonsense!" Xi Xi said with a raised eyebrow on purpose.

"I'm not talking nonsense! Miss Liang, lord, Mrs. You, you have to believe me, this time I'm really not talking nonsense! Zhen'er only wants to stay in the palace, and since she moved out of the palace, she has been moaning every day, how can I be a mother?" Can you not be distressed? I just said those words in a moment of anger! Tonight's blessing meeting was made by me, but Zhen'er knew about it in advance! I told her personally, but she didn't agree at first Yes, after hearing me say that there is a chance to enter the palace, she agreed!"

The whole audience sighed and looked sideways at Tang Xuanzhen.Tang Xuanzhen on the stool felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles, she felt chills all over her body when she heard it, and almost lost her breath!She knew that she shouldn't trust this ruthless mother, and betrayed her every moment!At this moment, she purposely stood up staggeringly, pretending to refute Zhong, and then threw her head back and pretended to pass out!

There was another exclamation, and You Xian'er hurriedly asked Dong'er and Suying to take her back to the courtyard of the palace, then turned her head and pointed at Zhong Shi and cursed: "I have never seen such a cruel mother like you! What are you talking about?" ? Delay it and call it!"

"Miss Liang..."

"Forget it, wet nurse," Xi Xi said with a smile at You Xian'er, "Let's spare her ten minutes, don't hurt her too much, I think Mr. Yan will ask about the killer later!"

"Okay," You Xian'er glared at Zhong Shi angrily and said, "I'll hit you twenty boards first! Drag it on! Hit me hard!"

Two guards stepped forward and dragged Zhong, who was crying and screaming, to the board.The scene returned to quiet.Xixi walked back to Yuan Yin's side, cleared her throat, and said to the group of people: "The blessing meeting started half a month ago, and I just came to Jingyou City not long ago, because I wanted to find out what kind of trick Mrs. Zhong was trying to play. That's why I participated under a pseudonym. From the beginning to the end of this blessing meeting, Mrs. Zhong used your sympathy to seek her well-being. The Prince's Mansion will not pursue it any further, and as for the so-called buying people's hearts with money, that's not the case at all!"

"How could it be?" Jin Ling'er immediately retorted, "Ms. Zhong paid money to buy someone to do this, and it is clearly recorded in the account book!"

"Account book?" Xixi chuckled, took the account book from Yan Amber's hand, rolled her eyes casually, threw it in front of Jin Ling'er and said, "Your family will keep accounts like this? Not only the name, but also the account book. Do you remember your address? Miss Jin, I think you are full of hatred, and you are talking nonsense without knowing the situation at all!"

"I'm not talking nonsense! I remember the account clearly. There are three taels of silver behind each person's name, and 15 taels of silver are remembered for three of them!" Jin Ling'er argued unconvinced.

"Do you remember that money is to buy people's hearts? Girl Jin, which ear did you hear that Mrs. Zhong bought them? The money on it is not money to buy people's hearts at all, but the money everyone raised for Tang Xuanzhen's travels to build the Gongde Pavilion !"

"What? Build a merit pavilion?" Jin Ling'er's eyes widened instantly, and she jumped anxiously, "It's obviously to buy people's hearts..."

"Mingming? Miss Jin, where did the word Mingming come from? Based on what you said alone, you are still the same as the one who was arrested in Youguan just now. You came here to discredit Prince You's Mansion?"

Jin Ling'er trembled all over, suddenly remembered the appearance of the woman just now, and couldn't distinguish the words from her mouth.Xixi glanced at her indifferently, raised her eyes and asked loudly to the group of people: "I'm asking you now, which one of you received the money from Mrs. Zhong? Did anyone take the money from Mrs. Zhong?" I just came here to pray? Is there any?"

The group of kneeling people were silent for a while, looking at each other, and then someone shouted loudly: "No! I have confiscated Mrs. Zhong's money!" Immediately afterwards, all those people shouted to themselves She is innocent and has never accepted money from Aunt Zhong.

At this time, no one is willing to stand up and admit this!Anyway, it is impossible to receive the money, who would do such a thing to offend Prince Siyou's mansion, whoever is really a fool!
The mother Ding who was standing in front said hurriedly: "My lord, we were all tricked here by Aunt Zhong! Thinking that Miss Tang has indeed done good things for the Ci'an Department, it's no big deal to come here to pray for her Yes, who knew that so many things would be pulled out! My lord, Miss Tang is absolutely innocent, she still has sunflower water on her body now! If it is true, as the rumors say, she is a little moon, how could it be half a month? How about sunflower water? My lord, my lord, please investigate clearly!"

"That's right! We were really tricked by Aunt Zhong!" The old woman who was so excited with the middle-aged woman just now also pretended to be pitiful, and begged for mercy while bowing, "Your Highness, Your Majesty, we are really There are a lot of people living in the city, who dares to raise their heads to make trouble? Mrs. Zhong told us the rumors about you and Miss Xuanzhen. How dare we say such things? ?”

Xixi glanced at Jin Ling'er and said, "You should be clear now? What else can I say?"

Jin Ling'er was still not convinced, but she couldn't find any other evidence to refute it.Xixi turned her head and asked You Xian'er: "Running to make trouble in front of the palace, how should I be punished?"

You Xian'er said: "If it's the first time, and it's not serious, you will be punished with ten sticks and handed over to the family for custody. If you commit the crime again, you will be punished severely."

When Jin Ling'er heard this, she hurriedly knelt down and said, "Minister is really kind-hearted, I don't want the prince to be deceived, that's why... that's why I came here to report it!"

"If everyone uses this excuse to go to the gate of the palace to make a fuss, how can there be any rules at all? Are you worried that the prince will be deceived? You know it in your heart! I don't want to talk to you about the entanglement between you and Aunt Zhong's mother and daughter. Don't worry about it, you can do it yourself! Come on," Xi Xi waved, "I'll drag you down and beat me with ten sticks, send me back to Deng's mother's house, give me a warning, and if I commit another crime again, I won't let you be fined! Drag it on!"

Jin Ling'er panicked and wanted to beg for mercy, but was dragged away by two guards.

Xixi walked back to Yuan Yin's side, turned to look at Zhang Xianchu and asked with a smile: "Okay, I have finished what I should say, sir, if you have any advice, please ask! If you don't want to ask clearly, turn around and write on the booklet If you write indiscriminately, it will never end with you!"

Zhang Xianchu smiled helplessly, thinking that this girl was so clever, she just explained away the account book in a few words!Although anyone with a heart should know that her rhetoric is obviously perfunctory, but at this juncture, if she wants to pursue the account books again, it is tantamount to digging her own grave.Therefore, Zhang Xianchu shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't have anything to ask. Unexpectedly, there is such a virtuous side concubine beside the prince. Why haven't I heard of it?"

"It's very simple," Xixi said with a smile, "I'm playing a secret marriage with Zhao Yuanyin!"

"Hidden marriage?"

"That's right! They are husband and wife, but they keep it secret. Try to see if the other party really likes you, and then make a decision," Xixi smiled at him and said, "You might as well try it, it's fun Oh!"

"Oh, so it is like this!" Zhang Xianchu knew that Zhao Yuanyin dared to reveal Liang Xixi's identity, he must have prepared a good plan, and no one would take advantage of any loopholes.It seems that today's blessing meeting did not achieve its purpose at all, it failed!
At this time, Zhao Xun hurried out and handed the booklet in his hand to Bingcan.Bingcan unfolded it and looked at it, handed it to Yuan Yin and said, "Look, is it okay?"

Yuan Yin took it and just read a few words, then showed a sly smile and said: "Okay, Zhao Xun's writing is good, and the above picture is attached, and it will be sent to the palace in [-] miles, please the emperor to make it happen!"
