Chapter 51

Wang Yanzhi looked at Shen Mengqi and said, "I have never done it, Your Highness, they framed me."

"Then why did you appear in the room where the princess is wearing a dowry?"

Wang Yanzhi replied truthfully: "It was Hu Yan and the others who said they always heard movement in the princess's dowry room. I stopped by to have a look after I finished taking care of the house that day."

"Whoever wants to go in will see that the two boxes of gold melon seeds and silver melon seeds that Miss Luo gave you were wide open. Before I could react, the two of them ran in and said that I stole your dowry from Your Highness the Princess." !"

Hu Yan obviously didn't expect Shen Mengqi to ask Wang Yanzhi, she looked at Shen Mengqi in a panic and said: "Your Highness, she is slandering, don't let her fool you!"

Shen Mengqi looked at Hu Yan who was eager to explain, "You said that Wang Tongfang stole gold and silver melon seeds, so where are the dirt now?"

Hu Yan was taken aback, "We happened to bump into it when we went, so she didn't succeed. The golden melon seeds and silver melon seeds are still in place."

"Without physical evidence, it's an attempted theft."

Shen Mengqi's words were obviously showing partiality, and Hu Yan quit immediately, "But...but Xiu'er and I saw her preparing to steal with our own eyes, are we going to wait for Wang Tongfang to steal all your dowry and sell it to us? Can't you catch her?"

Before Shen Mengqi spoke, Lin who was seated at the top took the lead in scolding: "Presumptuous! Are you questioning the mistress?"

Hu Yan immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "My family is wrong."

After singing the black face, Lin sang the red face again. She smiled at Shen Mengqi and said, "This Hu Tongfang is impatient, so don't argue with her. Although her words are a bit conflicted, there is still some truth in what she said .”

"Last night, my mother-in-law worked hard to support the princess. Now that the princess is back, I don't need to bother my mother-in-law about the backyard."

Lin's smiling face froze, she looked at Shen Mengqi and asked, "What do you mean?"

Shen Mengqi looked at Lin who was sitting at the top and said: "Since the prince has left the affairs of the backyard to this princess, please don't interfere."

"Are you daring me, my old lady, to leave?"

"Mother-in-law, this princess is only going to court, not being exiled. I don't care about the affairs of the mansion, but it doesn't mean that the princess is not clear. These days, Hu Tongfang and Xiuer Tongfang are quite majestic in the palace. The princess knows who it is, and the prince naturally knows who it is."

What Shen Mengqi said made Lin's face darken even more, and the smile on her face couldn't be held anymore.

She told the maid next to Mrs. Lin: "Mother-in-law is tired after a busy night. Chang Le helps the old lady go down to rest."

Chang Le glanced at Lin Shi secretly, and she didn't dare to move at all without Lin Shi's order.

Seeing this, Shen Mengqi looked at Ye Wei who had been guarding the door, "Ye Wei, help the old lady back to her room."

Just as Ye Wei was about to come in, Lin stood up with a cold face. She looked at Shen Mengqi and gritted her teeth and said, "My son really married a princess with golden branches and jade leaves. Even my mother-in-law has to sit on the bench. It's amazing. It's amazing!"

After Lin was 'invited' out, Hu Yan's momentum weakened significantly.

Shen Mengqi continued to Hu Yan: "When you ran into Wang Tong's house and burglary, did anyone else see it?"

Hu Yan shook her head and said, "No."

"So you have neither evidence nor physical evidence, and just rely on your words to convict the person personally selected by this princess to assist in the affairs of the palace's backyard?"

"But the two of us saw her steal it with our own eyes." Hu Yan bit her teeth and said, "Your Highness, you can't take care of her just because she is the person you personally selected to assist in the affairs of the palace's backyard. It will chill the hearts of other people in the palace!"

"For this princess, it doesn't matter how many people there are. I only want the truth."

Shen Mengqi looked at the three of them and said: "If the truth cannot be found out in a short period of time, this princess can only invite the root of the trouble away."

After listening, Hu Yan's face turned blue, she must not be sent back like this!

She said indiscriminately: "But your box of golden melon seeds originally contained [-] grains, but now there are only [-] grains before. The missing ones must have been stolen by her!"

"This princess doesn't even remember how many golden melon seeds and silver melon seeds she gave to Ajiu. How do you know Hu Tongfang so clearly?"

Oops!I slipped up.

Looking at Shen Mengqi's eyes that were getting colder, Hu Yan's face turned gray and defeated.

"Hu Tongfang, you are very concerned about this private property of this princess."

Hu Yan bit the bullet and argued: "His Royal Highness is busy with government affairs, and I also want to protect Her Royal Highness's property in the rear, so I pay more attention."

"enough!"

Shen Mengqi obviously didn't intend to entangle her any longer, she said: "My princess said when you came here that I don't like rubbing sand in my eyes, and I don't like those petty actions in the backyard."

Hu Yan and Xiu'er knelt beside Wang Yanzhi together, they looked at Shen Mengqi and said, "Your Highness, we know we were wrong, and please forgive me, Your Highness!"

"The princess is very busy and has no time to waste on these things."

Shen Mengqi looked at them condescendingly and said: "If you two are spared today, then tomorrow someone else has made a mistake and will come to intercede, what should I do, the princess? As the saying goes, there is no rule, since you don't guard the palace According to the rules, you can go back wherever you came from."

After hearing this, Xiu'er's face turned pale instantly, she knelt and crawled towards Shen Mengqi and said, "Your Highness, Xiu'er didn't think of framing anyone, she was forced by the old lady, please forgive Xiu'er for this... Go back, Xiu'er doesn't dare anymore. If Xiu'er leaves the palace, Xiu'er's family will die, I beg the princess to show mercy, I beg you!"

Hu Yan also crawled over and said, "Yes, Your Highness, the old lady ordered all of this, we dare not disobey, Your Highness, please forgive us this time. If I go back like this, My father will definitely beat me to death with a stick, please forgive me, the princess!"

Xiu'er and Hu Yan kowtowed their heads, but they failed to arouse Shen Mengqi's sympathy.

She pulled the hem of her skirt out of the hands of the two of them, "Today's cause, today's result, even if you are a woman, you have to bear it if you do something wrong."

After finishing speaking, Shen Mengqi said to Ye Wei who was standing outside the door: "Ye Wei, send these two housemates back to their original homes."

"This"

Looking at the crying pear blossoms and the rainy two, Ye Wei was in trouble, "Your Highness, do you want to inform the prince first and then deal with it?"

"Oh?"

Shen Mengqi looked at Ye Wei and said, "The princess thought that the prince took so much trouble to invite the princess back because she wanted the princess to take charge of the overall situation. It turned out that the prince was the one who made the final decision."
